We cannot look to the Tory party for relief, we cannot look to
the Liberal party for relief. Neither or both of these can give us
that for which we seek an alternative government.
The great mass of the English people believe, whether they say
so or not, that the present government has grossly mismanaged Eng

If this condition is to continue, which God

that cannot produce an alternative government is

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.
Immcnnc (VKmitltli-H llmiprlit by
AuicrtcniiM from tlic Little Ion n
of Solniitz Jn Saxony.
f
A notion of the enormous consump
tion of artiiicial flowers in this coun
try is given by the fnct that we im
ported during the hist year about
$350,000 worth of such imitation blos
soms, including leaves and plants,
from Saxony alone, the bulk of them
being manufactured at Sebnitz, ti
town 33 miles from Dresden and close
to the boundary of Bohemia, hays the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The origin of this greut industry
dates back to about 1810, the business
making its first beginning with tho
arrival .at, Sebnitz of a few .Bohemian
artists skilled in flower making. For
some time only a very inferior, cheap
grade of ilowers was turned out
(chieily of tissue and thin colored pa
per, which were bound together with
fancy grasses and ferns, and peddled
at the church steps and at village
fairs.
Later on more serious attention
was given to tho matter, and paper
wus replaced by more substantial ma
terials, such as cotton, silk, plush and
velvet. At the present time Sebnitz
is Jtotionly-thc center of the artificial
flower trade, in Germany, but the man
ufacturers there located compete quite
successfully witli their French rivals,
' The iFrauco-Prussian war, so dis
astrous to . most branches of trade,
was highly beneficial to the flower
makers of Sebnitz, inasmuch as during
the siege Paris was unable to fill its
orders for such merchandise, and the
little -Saxon town, which has only
fi,500 inhabitants, was called upon to
supply the demand. This was prac
tically 'the foundation of the town's
export Ibusincss in this line, and of itt
reputation throughout the world.
Sueli ,n notable impetus was then
given toithe trade of Sebnitz that
many aie.w factories were erected, and
at the present time thre are in Seb
nitz and neighboring villages no fewer
than 330 concerns engaged in manu
facturing artificial ilowers, leases,
plats and fruits, the largest firms em
" iloyiug frum 250 lo 1,000 persons.
Piacticnlly the entire population of
Sebnitz is employed in the industry,
which affords agreeable and light oc
cupation for women and girls.
A special report on this interesting
subject has been icceived by the dc-'
partment of state, and estimates the '
total exportation of artificial ilowers
from Sebnitz to foreign countries
other than the United States at, ovor
$l,doo,000 per annum. Practically no
machinery is nscd in the industry,
though hand presses nre employed ffor
cutting out and embossing leaves and
petals. Also quite an ingenious device
is utilized for making cotton Cruits,
and an exception to tho nbovcNUnte
ment is furnished hy a machine that
turns out sims for leaves aiid ilow
ers. All the rest of the work, -such as
dyeing, coloring, -stemming, shaping,
shading, mounting, waxing and bind
ing, is done by Annul. Work is paid
for liy the dozen or gross, and earn
ings of itiie workpeople vory from
$7.50 to $ll!.50a month for women to
$S.75 to $'20 formien, according to age,
kind of labor, tikill and diligence.
Children under "H-years of age are pro
hibited by law from working in the
factories.
The sriuking of artificial flowers in
Saxony is a household industry, fully
two-thirds of all the work being done
at home by the employes, who are sup
plied with Ulie cut materials ready for
stemming, shaping, binding, etc.
Thus a factory employing 100 per-,
f-ons -on itr, premises will give- out.
work to 300 to 400 ipeople outside.
There is hardly n house in the town
-or its neighborhood where artificial
flowers are not made, and even the
farmer, who works in the field in sum
aner .time, makes flowers during the
winter. The.tools used for cutting out
the. petals, Heaves, utc, are made in
Sebniiz and in Dresden, and they are
quite elahorutc and expensive, partic
ularly -those employed .for cutting
delicartm fern (leaves.

Miss Lcnore Allen, 407 Dovvell Street, San Francisco, Col., writes:
consider Peruna an infallible remedy for catarrhal diseases. For several years I have bettp
troubled with influenza, especially during our rainy season. 1 used to catch cold so easily that I
was afraid to be out when the weather was the least bit inclement, or in the evening air. But sinco I
have used Peruna I have nothing whatever the matter with me.
" am in perfect health, and find that Peruna acts as a tonic, and seems to throw all sickness and
disease out of the body. I go anywhere now and in all kinds of weather, seem to have an Iron consti
tution and enjoy life because I enjoy perfect health."
Miss Mattic Douglass, 138 Thomas
ave., Memphis, Tenn., writes:
"From my early womanhood I have
been troubled with occasional head
aches. I took different powders and
drugs, nt times getting temporary re
lief. One of my friends advised me to
try Peruna, which 1 did. 1 soon found
thnt my general health improved, and
my entire system was toned up.
"I felt a buoyancy of body and light
ness of mind 1 had not known before
and my headaches hnvo completely dis
appeared, and 1 have enjoyed perfect
health for over a year. T gladly endorse
Peruna." MATT1E DOUGLASS.
Women from nil parts of the United
States and Canada are testifying daily
to the virtue of Peruna. Only a few of
these letters can ever bo published.
Write for a book of testimonials of the
cures Peruna has made.
Peruna Makes Clean, Healthy

tarrhal Diseases Disappear
Permanently.
The mucous membrane is to tho in
side of the body what the skin is to tho
optsidc of the body. It lines every or
gan duct and cavity. Catarrhal in
flammation attacking one part is li
able to spread to other parts. A neg
lected cbld or slight catarrh is often
the cause of lingering and dangerous
catarrh.
LENORB ALLEN.
Women are naturally moro susccptr
ible to inclemencies of tho wcathc

the starting point of boiiio Ecveri)

pain and suffering.
Every woman needs a remedy upqn
which she can rely to keep her system
fortified against tho trying weather of
winter and early spring. If Peruna fa
taken at tho first pymplom of a cold ll
will cure it heforo it develops Infp

REFLECTIONS OF A SICK HAN.
MORE LABOR TROUBLES.
Whcu the doctor comes, he always
laughs at you.
When the medicine makes you sick,
nnd you complain to tiie doctor, he
says: "That's what I expected;
that's what 1 intended it to do."
When you are hungry you are
ashamed to acknowledge it, and, if
your nurse is very particular, you
are liable to suffer from hunger.
When there is si Icnock on the door,
you think it is an inquiring friend,
nnd try to look as pale and wan as
possible, and then disrovcr that it is
a little girl who wants 'to .borrow
butter.
A STRONG STATEMENT.
" rw3
Star, Wis., Feb. 10th. Mr Samuel S.
Hook, one of the most highly respect
ed residents of this neighborhood, has
given a very hearty recommendation
to Doud's Kidney Pills, a iremody re
cently introduced here. Jle says:
"I have been u sufferer iromJCidney
Disease for some time and found
nothing to help me till I foegan to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills. They gave me
almost immediate relief, and 1 urn
now well. I have reeommendud them
to many friends and in .every case
with splendid results.
"They are the very best pills for all
kinds of ailnicnt, but especially for
Kidney Complaints."

coming from a gcntleraai1 of Mr.
Hook's standing and reputation., it
has had a tremendous iuilucuce in
