Long before Columbus discovered the western continent many interesting peoples lived here, having their pccul iar customs and training their children carefully in the way they considered best calculated to lUiike them brave and wise men. Not only the red Indians of tne north, but the people of Mexico :ii:• I i'eru, who had a certain sort of eail/ati-m of their own, trained then children carefully and made them pass through a series of trials which the American boy of today may be thankful he does not have to undergo. Men of today in digging in the ruins of the splendid cities of the i'eru > i.uis have found almost a complete n< < d of some of their educational sy ti,. s In Peril the king of the coumi was called the inca, and his eldest s-m. who was always brought up to succeed i.un, received a training especially elaborate and trying. The prince was sent to one of the big boarding schools where young noblemen were educated almost as soon as he could talk. 1 here he was treated in all respects as If he were uot the heir to the throne, but Just a common, ordinary boy, who would some day have to work for a living. The school at which the prince was educated was a military school, which, according to records, was the Peru vian West Point. There, although many other tilings were taught, the chief stress w is laid upon the art of war. All the prince's relatives, boys of about his own age and called the Inca nobles, were at the school with him and had their final examinations at the same time. The literary part of their education was inquired into in private by the "wise men," which corresponded to the "academic board" of West Point, but these examinations were followed by public exercises. The public exercises were conducted by a board consisting of the most prominent of the old Inca nobles, and It corresponded to the board of vis itors appointed by the president each year to preside over the graduations ut West Point. The graduating exer cises at the royal Peruvian military academy lasted for a month. The graduates were required to il lustrate by drills what they knew of military tactics. Then they had to give exhibitions of boxing and wres tling. Running was also regarded as a necessary accomplishment, for the Peruvians had no horses, and the men who were destined to lead their armies had to prove that they could move swiftly on foot over h»ng distances and not tire. Therefore long courses were laid out for the boys to run over, which taxed their endurance and strength to the utmost Then for several days together the boys were compelled to fast, being carefully examined during the time to see how they bore going without food, for the Inca said that a soldier and a gentleman should always be willing and able togo without f<»od and not grumble when such abstinence was necessary. The cadets were also matched against each other in mimic battles, in which, though the weapons were blunted, many were wounded and some killed. When this sort of thing had gone on for a month those boys who had won the best marks In their examinations an«l had best stood the test of the pub lic exercises were selected for gradua tion, while the others were dropped or turned back into the next class. The king was always present at these •graduating exercises and delivered an address to the graduates. Garcilasso, a descendant of the Incas, .has left us an account of these ad idresscs from which we 1 now that they were almost exact counterparts of the addresses delivered today by promi nent men at high school graduations and college commencements. Other things change, but the graduation ad dress seems to have been the same thing in all ages. After the address something took place which does not happen at modern American graduating exercises. The king pierced the ears of each graduate with a golden bodkin, or large pin, which was allowed to remain t\ re un til the wounds healed, leaving a hole into which a round ornament was in serted. The size of this ornament was grad ually increased until in the case of the prince it was as large as an orange. Sandals were now bound on the feet of the boys, and they went barefoot no longer; also a sash was tied about their waists and crowns of flowers placed on their beads. The prince was now allowed to put on his royal robes, and, though only sixteen, he was usually sent to com mand an army corps somewhere on (tie border, where the king almost always had a little war going on with the neighboring savages. New York Press Th«- rnmrt, The fifteen century pilgrim, Felix 'Fabri, gave the following quaint de scription of the camel: "A camel has a small head and is without horns. It has big and terrible •eyes and always seems a sorrowful and (troubled animal. Its eyes are like tire beacons, and big reflections shine in them, for whatever a camel looks at gecuis great and huge to it. wherefore It seems to view everything with won der and alarm. When, therefore, a man goes up to It the beast begins to tremble, so that the limn perceives that the beast trembles because the man coming toward It seem to it t> ''• four times bigger than he really Is.

That was why ill- !.arp toiigued women of the mav if.u : iring town did not know that w!i :i M;i'k 1 went tearing through the main sue. i o.i her little mare or trotted i>' -l in her dogcart she was ; retty sine to ('.•«;) into her father's din y oi.i'-e it'i a l.iss and a merry greeting. Nor c ould they dream that the young girl who danced when op portunity offered until almost morning tripped downstairs in the most be witching negligees to pour her fa ther's coffee and smiled sleepily, but good huinoredly, across the table at him. What they did hear was that Mabel lay abed till 11 o'clock (which was quite true, for she went directly hack to be 1 when her father hud driv en iiwayi and scut to Boston for wrap pers and coffee Jackets of lace and silk, such as no respectable, hardwork ing woman in all North Glaseow ever dreamed of wearing. They did not dream either that she wore cherry rib bons in those same negligees, when she loved blue best, Just because her ador ing father had once remarked that red was the only color In the rainbow worth considering. At regular Intervals what was known ns the social set of Glascow went In Its best array and as many carriages as the town could support to be entertain ed instate at the mill owner's brick and stone pile on the hill and came away to discourse on the shocking waste of electricity, the absurdly mas sive decorations of American Beauty roses, the dreadful expense of a ca terer from Boston when Miss Louise Crocker could have managed the whole thing for half the price. And Mabel's gown! The brocade had surely come from Paris, and it was too elaborately trimmed for so young a girl. Well, It was a pity that Mrs. Farnham had not lived to steady down this frolicsome daughter and keep a restraining hand on the household expenses of Donald Farnham. Little they knew how hateful the dis play was to Mabel, how she longed sometimes to close down the house, with Its gilt furniture and plush hang ings, and to Join some of the girls she had met at college In their trips abroad, where the world was old and rich In art and book lore. But tills was her father's life, the life for which lie had longed In those early days when her pinafores were short and his working hours long. He was master of North Glascow today, and he reveled in his sense of greatness and power. It was Just when Mabel was hunger ing for a broader life, when North Glascow seemed unbearably narrow and when she had dazed its gossips by some particularly unconventional frol ics that Harold Barndt came Into their life. For reasons not stated the older Barndt wished his son well out of New York, for the winter at least. One of them was a certain pretty chorus girl who had settled herself In a little tlat unpleasantly close to the great apart ment house wherein dwelt the Barndt family. Mr. Farnham was indebted— or Imagined he was—to Mr. Barndt, and a position for the younger Barndt was made somehow on the clerical staff at the mills. And quite as nat urally young Barndt made for himself a place In the Farnham home, "l'was the only fit place in the town, he ex plained to himself. Mabel lind always been accustomed to admiration, but now she woke up to the fact that there was keen rivalry for her hand. Young Barndt fretted a week or so for the pretty actress, and then decided that, averaging up IKiints, Mabel had a trifle the best of it, to say nothing of her financial pros pects, as the only child of the mill owner. Jimmy Crawford had loved her ever since the first day he had opened the big mill gate for Mabel, a dainty vision in white and a cherry sash. Jimmy had been a bobbin boy that day. Now he was superintendent, and n better superintendent did not boss a mill In all New England, said Mr. Farnham. which went to show that the owner of the mill judged the young superintendent by his ability to get work out of employees and not by the state of his affections. The latter would certainly have given the self made man much concern. He meant, when he had accumulated money enough, to marry Mabel into a finally with blood. Mabel had never taken Jimmy's de votion seriously until young Barndt ap peared on the scene. Then something in the misery which she read In the faco of her long devoted and much tried admirer appealed to her more womanly nature, and, though North Glascow never dreamed of It, Mabel was really thinking deeply of the fu ture. Matters on me to u head on Hallow een night. With young Itarndt at her side, Mabel had driven through tin? crisp autumn aid to the Halloween frolic at Myrtle (Irabnm's home. Ilnrndt's roses were fastened under her cloak, nnd on the table at home tta box of bonnons lie had ordered sent to her each Saturday lay unopened. He had linked her into the carriage, but now he sulked openly. 1 lies.- country social affairs are such a bore, don't you know. I suppose we shall bob for apples and ruin our clothes, and com** home deucedly tired. I'd much rather have the evening at home, with you at the piano nnd the lamplight falling on your hair." Mabel smiled in the dark. Would he always be satisfied with that do mestic picture? she wondered. ♦ * * * • • "Nov, each girl must walk down to t!i:■ pring, quite alone, and look Into It for th<> face of her husband to 1.e." limn u!i> ed the hostess In the tones of .MI O:-acle. She held Up a white fasci nator, f<>r the night was cool, and Ma bel's hand was the first to reach for It. "1 hope you are not going to endan ger your health by uieh nonsense." Mabel turned to look Into young I'arndl s '-iwllng face. He had been gtv.itly bored, as he had predicted, and this was the last straw in his load of misery. "I thought you had too much sense to be superstitious." "Perhaps," answered Mabel, with an odd laugh. And then she was gone. While me merry i>.»rt.\ awaited her i' turn Mabel walked slowly through the moonlit garden to the spring. She was thinking «>f them both Jimmy Crawford, who. though the life of the party, had seemed somehow to be watehiii; her all the evening, and Barndt. with his polished manners and his sulky eye-;. Then she bent over the spring and iniled. She had felt it all along that his face would look over her shoulder and their reflections would be side b\ side. ******* "It was dreadfully silly, Jimmy." she said softly < they walked slowly back to the house."And you mustn't think that it is just because 1 trusted my de cision to a foolish superstition. Hut It's becan • the little things make up our lives at least they make a woman happy.

"I think I understand, dear." "I know you do," she whispered soft ly. "I've known it for ever so long, only I couldn't quite*'— And again he put his seal on the un certain words. But all North Glascow thinks to this day that it was Just be cause of the Hallowe'en superstition that Mabel accepted Jimmy and fought the good fight against her father's pride and disappointment. He Took nroom*. Two old fellows in New Hampshire were the sharpest things in the way of bargaining. Cy Fettlngill made brooms for a living and Ezra Hosklns kept a store. One day Cy eaine in with a load of brooms and the dickering began Cy was a man who could see a bar gain through a six inch plank on a dark night, and Ezra could hear a dol lar bill rattle in a bag of feathers a mile off. Well, they began, and their conversation was something like this: "Ezra, I want to sell you these brooms." "All right, Cy; I'll take them." | Cy said: "I don't want any store bar gains. I'll want cash for them." They talked and gadded awhile, and then Ezra said: "I'll tell you what I'll do, Cy. I'll give you half cash and half trade." Cy took a fresh chew of tobacco, I pulled a straw out of one of the brooms and said: "That'll be all right. Ezra." After he had put the brooms in the store Ezra said: "Here's your money, ] Cy. Now, what do you want in trade?" Cy looked around for a spell, cocked his eye up to the ceiling, stuck his cud in his cheek and said: "Well, If it is all the same for you, I Ezra, I'll take brooms." Columbia Record. < hllhlnlnn. Chilblains are induced by cold acting upon an enfeebled system and a weak circulation. The weakness of the sys tem is a more considerable factor than the degree of cold, for some people suf fcr from chilblains all the year round. I Sufferers from Raynaud's disease, a ! curious complaint associated with cold ness of one or more of the extremities, are very subject to chilblains, and with them local defects of blood sup ply, due to irregular contraction of the blood vessels, are the chief causes of the discomfort. Anything that interferes with the blood supply may in -old weather cause a chilblain. Badlv titling boots, which press Irregularly and keep the blood out of small areas of the skin, are a common cause. Tight kid gloves j act In the same way. The circulation In the cars is always limited, and thus chilblains are common in these organs. Chilblains do not form so long as the subject is conscious of the chill, but only after prolonged cold has para lyzed the feeling of the part The itch ing and burning are nature's efforts to restore the circulation efforts that may be successful or may end in ul cerouii destruction of the skin Snvnifr nnd Civilized nrp»n, Writing of "Savage and Civilized i Dress," Edwin Swift Balcli says that, | while it might be assumed that the su perior development of the brain of civl llzed man would result in some form of dress far better and more tasteful than anything found among savages, it may be doubted whether this is the case. One marked error of civilized dress is its interference with the proper venti lation of the skin. I'he human animal breathes with his entire skin. Refuse matter is thrown off as perspiration through every pore. The fact is well known, but in the garments of civiliza tion It Is almost universally unrecog nized. Savages readily discern that the most curious deformity achieved by civilized people is produced in their feet by means of the civilized shoe. A medical officer asserts that a large pro portion of the volunteers for the Unit ed States army have to be rejected on account of imperfect feet. Savage peo ples do not distort their feet. They wear sandals or moccasins or fur boots, but their footgear always con forms to and does not have to be bro ken in by the foot. The Gihl Will p.

The precise origin of the custom is uncertain.

As tonished, the customs officers, who hud witnessed the mishap, rushed to the aid of the fallen man, who showed no signs of life.

They have 110 bread, 110 ■ beds, no boots and shoes, no trousers for the meu, 110 petticoats for the wo men This sounds alarming, but both ; sexes wear instead several dressing ' gowns, one over the other the kimo- I nos of commerce. 111 their houses they \ have no windows, 110 doors, no walls, no ceilings, no chests of drawers, not even a washing stand, and the ward robe is only a lot of boxes piled one ; on top of another. In the kitchens they ; have no range, no pots, no pans, 110 flour bins, no Hour, no kitchen tables. Hut, then, they have no tables or chairs in the drawing room, and in the real native house the drawing room It self is only a lot of bedrooms with : their walls taken down. There is no I reason why you should tind anything in a Japanese house except mats and a charcoal stove for warming your An gers and the teapot and committing suicide. Japan is full of cherry trees ! and plum trees, but they do without j fruit. The cherries are used for the ! blossoms and the plums for hanging Nothing has ever equalled it. Nothing can ever surpass it. Dr. King s New Discovery A Perfect For All Throat and Cure: Lung Troubles. Money back if it fails. Trial Bottles free. T ACKAWANNA RAILROAD. U —BLOOMSBURG DIVISIO? WEST.
