RENOVATOR.
Rheumatism is due to a. poison existing in the blood.
.. ‘ The deadly uric acid that has contaminated the great
.' to fluid is irritating and corrosive in its action, causing the
most excruciating pain in different parts of the body.
’Were it only for the pain, rheumatism would be a disease to be dreaded,
but there Is much else to fear with this awful malady, for where rheumatism
pxxsts there is no knowing how much more damage may be done at any time
by thf awful blood pelsoning attacking some one of the great vital organs.
. 1 ii 0 all know the result when rheumatism reachw the heart. The patient
mks dcao instantly. Much more painful and nearly as quick is death when
rheumatism attacks the stomach, the kidneys or the liver.
Rheumatism sufferers should not allow this disease to go unchecked. A
cure is easily within‘thc reach of all. We refer to Smith’s Green Mountain
“I have suffered months with rheumatism in both arms.
On your recommendation and guarantee I bought a bottle
of Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator, and after taking it
four days the pain and soreness began to leave me. Now
I am entirely free from it. My appetite has improved
and I feel better in every way. A. R. GRAY, Highgate,
Take Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator, if you are a.
sufferer; you can surely have relief. Remember it has
been in existence for over forty years, accomplishing good
, , during all that time.
Every bottle is sold under a guarantee, the moneybeing
refunded should all that is claimed for the medicine not be accomplished.

A late army idea is to make of
aluminum all the metal a soldier car-
ries except his rifle. Even buttons and
shoe pegs are to be of aluminum.
Some of the Pennsylvania artillery
companies are provided with alumi-
num tails holding three gallons. in
which all the water used is sterilized
by boiling over the camp fire.
A Cuban flag has been saluted at the

old-time prophecy reads thus: “A little

ing and death, a grand struggle
against tyranny, before the strong}
The most popular ofiicer holding the
connnission of the United States Gov-
ernment is the paymastcr. In the
eyes of the troops at the front he is
only a little lower than the angels.
When he arrives in camp he is re-
ceived with something like the enthus—
iasm that surprised the Prodigal Son.
The best that there is in the way of
tent. things to eat and things to drink
are at his disposal. The colonel
smiles, and the majors smile, and the
captains smile, and the smile progress-
es on down to the smallest drummer
boy. Everybody spruces up, puts on
his best available clothes and does his
best to do credit to the regimeny You
would think that the business-like
man in a mnjor’s uniform was Miss
Columbia. the President and the gen-
eral commanding rolled into one. And
then the paymaster reciprocates. He
loses no time in getting through the
books. He has been known to tell
half the night so that the boys might
not have to wait for their money any
longer than was absolutely necessary.
As a rule, there is a day’s work in the
regimental rolls. But the pnymaster
cousn’t’sparc himself or his, assist-
ants. He locks as satisfied when his
task is done .s if he were about to go
out with the boys whom he has made
so happy. But he doesn’t. for he has
to fly away to fresh scenes of activity.

GOOD ADVICE TO TEACHERS.
ABIaI-tinet DIay Fail Very Matcrially in
the Essentials.
It is quite possible that a strict dis-
ciplinarian should be a. very valuable
teacher, but the mother who wishes ;
her children to learn well and to learn ' -
truly will be wise if she carefully notes
, the kind of discipline to which her lit-
tle ones are subject.
The martinet who attends so strictly : 4
to the miner rules of discipline that , _
she is apt to be lax in those larger and
more important principles which, after
all, constitute the real and most valu-
able part of teaching, is not the best
tutor for children, though she may
have been recommended as a. strict
disciplinarian, and have undertaken
her work with a most conscientious
idea of keeping order amongst high-
spirited and unruly children.
As a matter of fact, it is often far
morel expedient in the interests of a
broader View of discipline, to over—
look slight offenses against class rules,
which, though expedient, yet have no ‘
real effect. on the broad principles of
right and wrong'.
Aewell-intentioned teacher can, by
her constant harping on small matters,
‘ goad her class in quite a short time to
open revolt, whereas had she been wise
she would have overlooked the in-
fringement of the little rules which do
not interfere with the general order.
There is no more important point to
remember than that children can be
trained better by being guided than
by being forced. Many well-inten-
tioned teachers make a great mistake
by treating their charges as if they
were machines rather than individuals.
Remember that the little ones suffer
from the weather, nerves, and malaise
just as much as grown-ups; and if the
child who is, as a. rule, attentive and
sweet-tempered suddenly turns idle
and crusty, one of these three reasons
for such behavior is probably to blame.
In such a. case sympathetic, rather than
harsh, words are needed.
As in the case of the unusually good
child, so with the black sheep. A sym-
pathetic word will sometimes do more
to clear away an entanglement or
naughtiness into which the little one
has got herself more than all the pun-
ishments and bad marks in the world.
I have known a teacher avert a stormy
day by seeing signs of coming danger,
singling out the ringleader within a low
minutes of the opening of the class——
and punishing her, of course?
Not at all. By calling her, and ask—
ing her confidentially to perform some
trifling service for her, thus winning
her over in a few seconds, where rep-
rimands and extra tasks would only
have rendered her more unruly.
This is an instance which shows that
not in tightening the reins but in
slackening them an enormous advan—
tage may be gained. The interruption
of the routine fora moment is a dis-
tinct help, and every half-hour of in-
fluence gained over such a child is a
victory ’well worth having.
DIodel for Velvet Blouse.
The velvet blouse promises to be very
popular this winter.
A pretty model in royal blue velvet
is portrayed and though simple in de-
sign, is dressy looking. It is made on
the regulation shirt waist pattern, over
a tight fittug lining, and has a yoke
extending a short distance over the
shoulders. "
A collar of white lace, with a narrow
frill in the back and a jaunty bow in
the front gives a dainty finish while a
frill of lace also edges the cults of the
sleeves.
The Winter Capes.
All the new shoulder—capes are made
with deep backs, curving down much
like the old-fashioned mode of wearing
a shawl. .. These have short fronts,
much rounded, a wide-gathered frill of
silk or other fabric encircling the en-
tire cape. Some of the latest models
are very long, the fronts on garments .
for winter not differing greatly in
length, but rounded like the other.
shorter, autumn styles. The wide trill
narrows as it nears the cellarhwhich
is very high and rather picturesque in
effect, being made of fur or rich silk
velvet, with a lace of chiffon fraise in-
side. For tall, stately women of grace-
ful carriage the streeping, lengthy cape
is a distinct improvement upon the
medium-size, short. or very short styles
we have been accustomed to so long.
For women of this type there is a grace
and dignity about the latest produc-
tions which neither of the former
, shapes ever attained.
