The children stand with their backs to
the Ijoard while the dots are made. When
the class is ready they turn round and one
is asked to name, instantly, the number of
dots, observed in that moment There
no time to count. The eye takes in ti
group as a whole, and recognizes it as ten,
fifteen, eighteen, or twenty, as the case
may be. And these children have grown
observant, have so acquired the power of
__ncentrating their faculties on the object
before them that they can name accurately
again and again, the nnmbcr of dots re
vealed in that momentary glimpse of the
board. You and I can’t do this.

Doctors go oh treating lung diseases as
if there were no elasticity or recuperative
power in nature herself. They decline to
take into account that reserve lung power.
Nature can’t do everything. She works
to her ends through natural means. She’ll
make blood but you must provide blood-
making material. The sick man or woman,
the ’consumptive, can't give Nature the
means she is used to. What is needed is
blood food, nerve food, brain food, life
making material in a condensed and con
centrated form easy for the sick to receive,
ample for the operations of Nature. And
this is just the essential provision of Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. If
provides in a condensed form the neces
sary aliment Nature needs for her body-
building, and with it she goes to work and
repairs the rents and tears in the worn out

Her Young Meu Are Given a Commer
cial Education.
Washington, May 22. — “Germany
has led ami is still leading the world in , _
commercial education,” says Consular | o
Agent Harris W. Eibenstock in a recent ~ - ’
dispatch to the state department. The
various commercial schools, he says,
nuallv send forth large numbers of qual
ified young men to take up lucrative and
important positions in the business
world.
These young men, he continues, are
soiling in distant countries products of
the German empire ranging liom a lo
comotive to a clothes pin, invariably
having the advantage of their American
and English competitors of being able to
speak fluently the language of the coun
try in which they attempt to sell their
goods.
Mr. Eilnonstock attributes their ad
vantages to the splendidly conducted
commercial institutes in Germany and
strongly recommends the establishment
of six such (^lieges in the United States.
The founding of*a large commercial
university at Hamburg is contemplated.

Washington, May 22.—The general
conference of the A. M. E. Zion church

The committee on the Sabbath re
gretted that it could report no substan
tial improvement in Sabbath keeping.
While fairly well kept by Presbyteri
ans, the Sabbath newspaper, Sabbath
excursions. Sabbath traveling and social
visiting were on the iucrea.se.
Tho report of the committee on edu
cation of the ministry was presented by
Dr. ,T. W. Lnptou. While $30,000 had
been Hsked for, $18,333 had lieen raised,
had no debts
n haud.
Several recommendations of the re
port provoked lengthy discussions. One
was that iu view of the decreasing
ber of candidates for the ministry
churches should examine their fields to
see if thare were not those who were
really called to tbe imuistrr, and minis
ters should lie urged to cease to speak
disparagingly of the work as a hard and
profitless calling.
Upon motion of Dr. G. A. Blackburn
this last clause was stricken out.
The recommendation to continue $73
maximum benefit to candidates under
the same rales as heretofore was adopted.
An overture from the Columbia Pres
bytery, which had been referred to the
committee, that all candidates be re
quired to serve two years in the home
field, if in the judgment of the presby
tery such service was necessary, was
negatived on the ground that the pres
byteries already had such authority.
The recommendation tha6 in extend
ing help there should be but one rale for
the native and foreign born candidate
was discussed. Dr. N. Donaldson of
Huntington, W. Va., made a strong
speech against the recommendation. Ho
■aid be had preached ten years
north and the churches there had been
greatly troubled by foreigners who had
come over here without the approval of
their presbyteries at home. A substi
tute was adopted recommending that nc
candidates be aided who were not aji-
proved by their home presbyteries.
Rev. J. S. Shaw against the synod of
Memphis iu deposing his brother. Rev.
R. J. Shaw, from the ministry by the
presbytery of North Mississippi, was
heard.
The trouble, it is said, originated in
this way: An officer in Rov. Shaw’s
church was charged with running a
“blind tiger.” He was brought to trial
and he was admonished by the session.
The preacher, it is claimed, was not sat
isfied with the result of the trial and
wrote an article to a newspaper, in which
it is claimed he reflected upon several
members of the church and presbytery.
The result was that Mr. Shaw was
charged with disturbing the peace of
the church, as well as slandering some
of the brethren. He was trie$ upon
those charges and found guilty. The

ENVOYS SEE THE PRESIDENT
Boer* Are Informed That America
Cannot Intervene.
Washington, May 22. — Messrs.
Fischer, Wessel* and Wolraarens, the
Boer envoys, who are now in this coun
try, visited the White Honse at 10
’clock, according to previous arrange
ment, to pay their respects to the presi
dent. No official status was given the
visitor- and they presented no creden
tials.
The envoys were received in the bine
parlor, no one being present bnt them
selves, the president and Secretary Cor-
telvon. At th« first the conversation
touched upon a variety of subjects.
President Kruger’s name finally was
mentioned and the visitors then stated
their purposes in coming to this coun
try. They said they understood tbat
what Secretary Hay told them was final,
and that the Ignited States oould not in
terfere with the present struggle in
South Africa.
The president confirmed this view.
He said that the action he took some
time ago (when, at the reqnest of the
government of the Transvaal that this
iveramont should intervene, he offered
s good offices to England to bring
about peace), he did with great iiloasure
iu the hope that it might possibly bring
the conflict to an end. This offer had
been declined by Groat Britain, and he
said there was nothing further that the
United States could do in the premises.

SUSPENDER SAVED HIS LIFE.
Bullet That Would Have Pierced the
Heart Turned by Buckle.
Lelsviixe, S. C., May 22. — Two
negroes, John Cooper and Paul Foster,
had some difficulty which resulted in
the latter shooting and killing the
former. There were some other negroes
present at the time of the shooting, and
had it not been fer a suspender buckle
another one would very likely have been
killed, but the buckle turned the course
of the bullet, which otherwise would
have pierced the heart.
Bad blood has been existing between
these families for some time, as Maok
Cooper, a brother to the negro killed by
Foster, shot and killed a brother to Pan!
Foster several years ago, and the latter
has been troatening to kill some of the
Cooper family ever since.
Foster has left for parts unknown.
