Shortness of His Essay Demanded
From Him Easily and Quickly
Accounted For.
To look at them you would not have
thought the members of the class
showed much promise of literary gifts,
either collectively or Individually. But
the teacher was an optimist, and
launched gayly into a discourse on
composition.
Just before the class broke up he
told them to write an essay that
evening at home, aad bring It with
them In the morning.
"You can write it," he told thetn,
"on 'The Street I Live In.'"
Great was the agony In 20 homes
that night, as the class struggled vali-
antly with the task, and dubious were
the faces next morning at school.
The teacher collected their efforts
and proceeded to r.ead them through,
growing sadder as he plodded on. At
last he came to Sr.mmy's effort. Ap-
parently ho had g.ven up In despair,
for his alleged essay consisted of about
three blotted lines.
"Your essay is very short!" lie said
sternly.
"Yes, sir," answered the little dar-
ling; "so Is the street I live In!"
Wireless Spans Ocean.
Tho wireless outfit on the steamship
Imperator comprises threo separate
stations—one of 15 kilowatts, for long
distance work; one of three kilowatts,
mainly for communications with ves'
sels at moderate distances, and an
emergency station, worked by a pow-
erful storage battery. Tho main sta^
tlon can exchange signals directly
with the large land stations of Ameri-
ca or Europe during tho \vhole of the
transatlantic voyage, so that tho de-
lays involved by relaying messages
from ship to ship are avoided. In mid
ocean tho ship Is in communication
with both the German station at Nord-
delch and the American station at
Sayville. The emergency station, in-
tended for use In case of a stoppage
of the ship's dynamo, Is capable of op'
eratlng for six hours.
Nursery College.
Mrs. Bernard Mole of London came
over here recently to see how the land
lay for establishing a "nursery col
lege" In America such as she founded
In England six years ago. There are
a number of these colleges In England,
whose graduater command at the start
$40 a month as a "nursery nurse" who
has had tho advantage of caring for
real babies under the training of a
professional nurse, learning also to
make children's clothes, laundry work
and also attend lectures on first aid,
physiology and sex hygiene during the
six months' course.

Physicians Recommend Castoria
CASTORIA lias mot with pronounced favor on tho part of physicians, pharma-
ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. Tho extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tho
result of threo facts: first—Tho indisputable evidence that it is harmless:,
Second—That it not only allays stomach pains a Jts the nerves,'but assimi-
lates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, hew-
ever, is to expose danger and record tho means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers aro entitled to
the information.—Hall's Journal of ILcaltlu

Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ilia., says: "I have prescribed yon*
Castoria often for infanta during my practice, and find it very satisfactory.*
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Tour Castoria stands
first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can Bay 1 never have
found anything that so filled the place."
Dr. J. II. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria aq«
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice toe
many years. The formula is excellent."
Dr. It. J. Hainlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have rover found anything to equal it for children'*
troubles. I am aware that there are Imitations in the field, but I alwayi
Bee that my patients get Fletcher's."
Dr."Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., Bays: "As the father of thlrtae*
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and as!d«
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Ca*
toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home."
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Cas-
toria has made for Itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by th«
presence of children, scarccly needs to be supplemented by the endorse-
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and
believe It an excellent remedy."
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, J,to„ says: "Physicians generally do noC
prescribe proprietary preparations, but In the case of Castoria my expert
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an err
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found It
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi-
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me In heartiest recon*
mendation of Castoria."
