PRAGUE PATRIOT
PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY.
W, S. OVERSTREET, Editor and Prop.
A Pcopls'i University.
The magnificent building of ttir* Car-
negie Institute of Pittsburg, which has
•just been dedicated «n the presence of
.representatives of foreign govern-
ments and men of learning from all
over the world, is a memorial and
tribute to human aspiration. It is not
accident, but a significant and natural
thing that this great people's universi-
ty should rise in the heart of the roar-
ing, grimy Birmingham of America.
Here the great fortune of the donor
was in large part made. Here are the
men who helped him make it. Hero
he, too, in his youth, worked with
head and hands, and felt that insatiate
thirst for knowledge and light which
the new institute will help to satisfy.
To this day Mr. Carnegie holus in
•grateful memory the persons who
helped him by such small favors as
'the loan of a single book. Tho Car-
negie Institute embraces five great de-
partments: the library, with a quarter
of a million volumes; the museum con-
taining one of the finest natural his
tory collections in the world; the art
gallery, with its annual international
jury and generous prizes; the music
hall, where the best work of great
composers has an adequate presenta-
tion; and the great group of technical
schools, for admission to which 10,000
students have already applied. It
would be unjust to overlook the cour-
age and the far-sighted generosity of
the city of Pittsburg in building up
the institute, says the Youth's Com-
panion. Every offer which Mr. Car-
negie has made has been met half way
by the municipality, and every step
his philanthropy has advanced has
been promptly paralleled by the city.
Skilled workmen and the great indus-
tries in which they are engaged have
made Pittsburg one of the great
American cities. The Carnegie Insti-
tute will help to place it among tho
great educational and artistic and
musical centers. Although its physical
atmosphere is dark and smoky, its
mental outlook is bound to be clear,
wholesome and invigorating.
Great printing works aro estab-
lished at Nartang, In Thibet. A trav-
eler says: "There are thousands and
thousands of blocks at Nartang, com-
prising matter in type equivalent to
numerous different volumes, Each
wooden block Is about 24 Inches long
by 12 inches wide, one face having
carved upon it a complete pa go of
{lettering. The method of printing is
primitive in the extreme and consists
.of laying the paper on a flat surface
and levering the block upon It with a
long handle, much as the village
blacksmith works his bellows."
One of the gravest perils which Are
fighters are constantly facing is tho
fierce heat. After successful trials, a
newly-invented "heat veil" has been in-
troduced into practice at Cologne, Ger-
many, where 200 men have been sup-
plied with tho appliance. The veil Is
made after the principle of a safety
lamp, with double windows. It is com-
posed of fibers of cane, which possess
the peculiar property of retaining wa-
ter for a considerable length of time.
The veil is made damp before being
fastened to the fireman's ordinary
brass helmet.
St. Lazare, a leper's hospital in
Paris, built at the closo of tho
eleventh century, Is to be razed and
its site cleared and purged of foulness
by the admission of fresh air and
long excluded sunshine. A plague
spot for centuries, the scene of many
a nameless, unrecorded tragedy, as
well as of many that stain with blood
,the archives of medieval France, tho
fcite of this ancient hospital will be
igiven to open-air spaces and modern
(buildings.
Immigration Commissioner Sargent
has stated that the law under which
.it is unlawful for a state to pay tho
passage of intending immigrants or
to assist immigration except by ad-
vertisement, does not apply to Ha-
waii. Under the auspices of the Ter-
ritorial Immigration society Immi-
grants are being brought to the Is-
land from Europe and the Azores to
take the place of Japanese laborers
upon the sugar plantations.
Gen. Batyanoff, a Russian naval offi-
cer, Is quoted as declaring that the

czar let to American Builders a cm
tract for construction of a i ir ca tern

I POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT.
English Writer Sees Signlflcanco In
Glorification of Robbers.
Tho Idea of private property has
never been fully accepted by the
masses of the people, and never had
their cordial approval as an institu-
tion, says a writer in the London
News. The most popular songs and
j ballads of our nation in all ages, it
: may ho noted, have been those wkich
described sympathetically attacks on
i private property, from the Robin Hood
cycle to tho broadsheets In which
Turpin and Sboppard were made
j heroes.
j Even nowadays the literature that
j really touches the people, the litera-
ture that the educated classes seldom
| so much as see exposed for sale, the
, literature that is sold in the small
j "general" shop In the back street, and
costs fewer pennies than the novel wo
j know cost8 shillings, still very largely
' deals with the romantic exploits of
tho robber. He is never a villain; he
Is noble and generous to a fault; but
ho is convinced of the impropriety of
persons having too much money.
BADY WASTED TO SKELETON
THOUGHT HIM A LUNATIC.
Man'o Queer Jumble of Words War-
ranted the Inference.
Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale
recently told this story at New Ha
ven's chamber of commerce banquet:
A hard drinker was told by his doctor
that he could be cured if every time
ho felt that he must have n drink he
would immediately take something to
eat instead.
The man followed the advice and
was cured, but tho habit of asking for
food had become so fixed with him
that once he was nearly locked up as
a lunatic. He was stopping at a hotel
and, hearing a great commotion in the
room next to his. he peeped over the
transom to see what the matter was.
He saw, and rushed madly down to
the office and shouted to the clerk:
"Tho man in 153 has shot himself!
Ham and egg sandwich, please!"—

SPLENDID APRIL TONIC.
Easily Prepared at Home and Harm-
less to Use.
This is known as "Blood-Cleaning 1
Time," especially among the older
folks, who always tako something dur-
ing tills month « '-lean the blood of ,
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce.
Compound Syrup Sarsaparllla three
ounces.
Get these simp] > ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by slmk
ing well in a bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed-
time.
Everybody should tak$ some thing to
help the blood, which becomes impov- •
erished and almost sour after the win-
ter season, especially those who arc
subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Madder trouble.
It Is said that one week's use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores, '
pimples or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will bo appreciated by many readers, i

In Torments with Terrible Sores on
Face and Body—Tore at Flesh
—Cured by Cuticura.
"My little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about a year and a half of suf-
fering he grew so bad I had to tie Ills
hands In cloths at night to keep him
from scratching tho sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk. I
sent to tho drug store and got a cake
of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem-
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. I used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shel-
don. It. F. I). No. 1, Woodville, Conn.,

Town Belle Criticised.
A town belle got off the train at a
small town between Atchison and To-
peka last night, says Ed Howe. She
shook hands with her left hand, wore
a larger hat than the girls who met
her, wore pretty loud clothes, chewed
gum and when she hit the cinder plat-
form of her home town a lot of people
grinned at her and said: "Hello,
there!" This town belle was not bad
looking, but she couldn't keep her
mouth closed even when she was not
talking.—Kansas City Journal.
The Entire Family.
Grand Pop used it for Rheumatism.
Dad for Cuts, Sprains and Bruises.
Mamy for Burns, Scalds and Aches.
Sis for Catarrh and Chilblains. I
use it for everything, and it never dis-
appoints ar.y of us. It surely yanks
any old pain out by the roots.

much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In ord*r to get the
desired stiffness. It is usually neces- .
sary to use so much starch that the !
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is ;
hidden behind a paste of varying I
thickness, which not only destroys tii6
appearance, but also aff'vts the wear- j
lng quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as It can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other makes.
A Paradox of Ambiguity.
"I never saw any one so stuck-up as
Mark ley," began Popley. "Last niglit
he—"
"Why," interrupted Goodart, "that's
not like Markley at all. He's the best
natured fellow—"
"Of course," continued Popley, "but
last night he came to my house with
molasses candy for the children and
let them sit on his lay while they ate
it."

The General Condemnation of So=Ca!!ed Patent

of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions
to cure all manner of ills, and the
National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale
have established more clearly than could have been accomplished in any other way
The Value and Importance of Ethical Remedies.
Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and
are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of
Known Excellence and Quality and ol Known Component Paris.
To gain the full confidence of the Well-informed of the world and the approval of
the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and
approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many
years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The per-
fect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical
character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture,
known to the Company only.
There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of
the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives
that it cleanses, sweetens ami relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without
disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to
increase the quantity from time to time.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and l'.lixir of
Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects,
always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup
of 1 igs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known l>y the name, Syrup of* Figs, whiclt
has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists
throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price
of which is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, 1). the remedy is nut adulterated or mis-
branded within the meaning of the F'ood and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.
