"I'eruna was recommended to me
about a year ago as an excellent remedy
for the troubles peculiar to our sex, and
as 1 found that all that was said of this
medicine was true, 1 am pleased to en
dorse it.
•'/ began to use it about seven months

FRESH AIR AND VENTILATION.
Some Directions Relating to Bed Roonu
and Clothing.
Living Church: First, and very Im
portant: Keep your bed and bedroom
warm and dry during the day. An open
window and a cold, room will make the
bed damp and cold, and will give its un
fortunate occupant a severe cold at leagi
If not worse. A damp bed is a veritable
brooding place of bacteria. Many house
keepers having heard of the necessity
of fresh air, leave the bedroom window
open during the day, filling it with cold
air when none is needed, and then
close the window for the night, when
the room is occupied and fresh air is
needed in abundance. Any one can see
how contrary to common sense such
procedure is.
. The custom of some housekeepers to,
keep the "spare room" closed at ail
times and then opening it only or
warming it just before putting a geest
Into, .is, to put it mildly, very thought
less. Cold objects, bedding included,
when exposed to a sudden heat, con
dense the moisture in the air, and con
eeg.uently such beds are always damp
and cold, and are the most unhealthy
and should be avoided even by guests.
Better go to an up to date hotel or walk
home any number of miles, than to
sleep in such a bed.
Second.: All your clothing worn in
the daytime, footwear included, open
out and hang over chairs, or on hooks
near the stove or register to dry and
air during the night. If you neglect
this simple sanitary measure, your
clothing will feel damp and cold In the
morning, because it still contains the
evaporations from your body during
the previous day, and after a while
your clothing will have an unpleasant
odor for these evaporations. Drying and
airing your footwear during the night
will keep your feet from sweating, cold
ness and bad odors.
Thir d: Your bed and room warm and
dry, have plenty of light weight bed
ding. Then just before retiring, close
the door and open a window from the
bottom. When more than one person
deeps in a room, the window must be
raised higher. This will give an abund
ance of fresh air while you sleep. Place
the bed so that the fresh air current
will not strike you directly. Protected
bn your dry, warm bed—as cozy as a
bug In a rug—the air, cold, pure and
fresh, freighted with oxygen, a very
elixir of life, will quiet your nerves,
will rest you, will soothe you, and give
you healing and strength. When aris
ing in the morning, close the window
quickly and let heat come Into the room
Then dressed in your aired and dry day
clothing, you will feel clean, fresh awi
vigorous.
Fourth: Keep your living rooms well
ventilated in daytime. If no other pro
vision Is made for ventilation, get one
of those attachments to a stove pipe
or flue which take cold air from the
floor. Foul air being heavier than
warm, naturally sinks to or near the
floor, and by the above mentioned ap
paratus escapes to the flue. How many
sitting rooms of even well to do people
have a very offensive odor from lack of
ventilation!
Fifth: Our northern wells contain
the most excelent mineral waters..
Morning and evening cleanse your
nasal passages and gargle the throat
with fresh cold water. This will cure
catarrh without the aid of medicine,
and will relieve most colds.
“Just You, Dear.”
O chide me not that others seek my hand,
That favors I bestow on friends sincere,
But ask me what I have In this broad land
And I'd reply so quickly—just you, dear.
Just you, dear, because no other one can
bring
Such Joys and hopes, and sweet content,
so dear
Just you, because my heart doth ever sing
A happier, sweeter song when thou art
near.
Because in thee I find a friend and lover
true
A willing heart to comfort and to cheer.'
A strong right aim to battle for me, too, '
My ideal, my destiny is—just you.
, —Jessica Owen.
USE OF CEMENT IN BUILDING. ]
The growing prices which we have to
pay from year to year for lumber, to
gether with the fact that the latter
seems to be of less value In many cases
as the price goes upward, points to the
desirability of some other material that
will take the place of at least a part
of the lumber we use. That cement
will do this is surely the case. The
proper gravel to use Is not attainable
in many parts of our prairie country,
but sidewalks are made in many of our
towns with quite flue sand. Anything
that will stand the wear of human feet
for years will make a good feeding
floor for hogs. This wet weather there
is need for some place to put feed that
it will not be wasted. There is cement
of good quality made not far’away,
and the cost of putting in a cement
floor should be less than that of plank.
To accomplish this result, however,
most probably the farmer will have to
d« the work himself, for the men who
do this work In most places want to
get pay for about three or four days
for each one they work.
There Is nothing requiring special in
telligence in mixing sand and cement,
or more difficult labor than Is usual
amcurg farmers in general, anfl where
the material is not too scarce the farm
er will do well to experiment a little in
the use of this plan of building. For
making foundations it is very suitable.
There Is a tendency for the dealer to
charge the farmer too much for the
cement. The best sorts are all called
Portland, though native in many parts
of the country. They are the result of
burning and grinding limestone having
& certain proportion of clay. There was
a report of a contract for a large
amount of cement to be used in con
struction of railroad bridges at about
one-fourth what is charged in most
places by the dealers. An exchange
says: "Cement should be had for $2.50
to $3 per barrel. If the dealer wants $4,
ask him why.”
The test recommends for the amount
of oement to use Is to mix the other
materials intended to be used and fill
In all the water that It will contain,
and this is the proper amount of ce
ment to use. The material must be well
mixed and the cement must be thor
oughly incorporated with it all. A lit
tle experience is needed, and tests can
be readily made. The top surface
should be richer In cement than the
lower layers. This is something that
our readers who are not posted on the
subject may well study.
A GREAT DISCOVERY.
When we find that we have in oui
eountry a disease of animals that
causes a damage amounting to a sum
between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000 an
nually, it .becomes a matter that may
well engage the attention of the best
scientists, says The Country Calendar.
Such a disease is hog cholera. It is an
old disease that is prevalent and per
sistent in every country where there
ire hogs, but so far it has baffled all
efforts for its control. The larger sum
named as the amount of annual dam
age done is probably not too great for
the United States, and it Is about nine
per cent, of the total value of all the
hogs born in this country.
The first step toward the suppression
of a disease is to asertain its cause,
and Drs. D. E. Salmon and Theobald
Smith, two distinguished scientists,
thought, as long ago as 1889, that they
had discovered that the disease is due
to a micro-organism which they named
bacillus cholera suis. In their experi
ments they readily transmitted the dis
ease from one animal to another by
inoculation with diseased blood. It de
veloped, however, that no line of ex
periments based on the above conclu
sion gave satisfactory results. Dr.
Salmon, as the head of the bureau of
animal Industry, continued to encour
age every effort to solve the problem,
and he announces now that the investi
gations conducted in his bureau by Drs.
Dorset, Bolton and McBryde prove that
the triple headed bacterium mentioned
above Is not guilty of producing the
disease, but tnat the blame must be
placed upon another and an invisible
micro-organism—one that is too small
as yet even to receive a name, but
which is responsible for an enormous
amount of trouble. '
These scientists, who divide their
honors with Dr. A. E. de Schweinitz,
who died last year, found that, by
using the best filters made, they could
remove ail so-called hog cholera and
twine plague germs, and then by inocu
lating with the filtrate give the disease
of hog cholera to well animals. A long
series of experiments followed, which
are given In detail in bulletin No. 72, of
the bureau, and they ail confirmed the
deadly work of the little invisible but
mighty micro-organism.
Although this successful diagnosis is
tar from the cure of hog cholera, it is
a long step in advance and one which
ought to lead more directly to a isola
tion of this great problem. It .might
be said, indeed, that in the discovery
of the cause of this disease the prob
lem of its prevention and cure is half
solved.
A NORTHERN ORANGE.
The department of agriculture has
a. commendable way of doing things,
*ays A. S. Neale. It sees a want and
at once starts some expert out to fill it.
He is told to keep pegging away at this
Dne line of work until he accomplishes
something definite. It may take years,
but if possible the work will be done.
It Is this never-give-up spirit that
leads me to believe that we may gather
oranges as far north as the 40th par
allel, or the northern limit of the hardi
est member of the orange family.
There is only one orange that is
hardy in the north. This is the Jap
anese hedge orange, the fruit of
which is absolutely worthless, being
small, very sour and full of seedsi
From it the cold resisting ability of
the proposed hardy variety must come.
Dr. H. J. Webber, in charge of the
plant breeding laboratory in Wash
ington, has the task of breeding a
hardy orange. He began by fertiliz
ing the Japanese orange flower with
pollen from the Florida orange bloom.
Several of these crosses were made.
So far two promising hardy fruits have
been produeed—the Rusk and a new
unnamed sort. The Rusk is hardy as
far north as North Carolina, Tennes
see and Oklahoma. It lacks the flavor
of the Florida fruit, but is much im
proved over the Japanese parent, and
will be a useful variety.
The unnamed sort Is of good size
and excellent flavor; a real orange.
Dr. Webber says that at present he
cannot define tht northern limit cf
this new variety, but that he had no
reason to believe it will not be as hardy
as the Rusk. He also states that the
limit of hardiness will not be reached
until we have an orange that will stand
as much cold as the Japanese parent.
TUBERCULOSIS IN HOGS.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
ascertain the cause of tuberculosis of
hogs. It is said that one big packing
house In Chicago recently condemned
1 E>0 head in one day. The situation is
really alarming. Some lay the blame
to the practice of feeding so much
dairy refuse, arguing that many of the
dairy herds are infected, and in this
way the hogs contract the'disease. The
losses have been so heavy lately that
packers are making a rigid Investiga
tion. It appears there is no way to de
tect the disease in the live hog, and in
variably it is the prime heavyweights
that are affected.
MADE NEWSTRENGTH:
QUICKER THAN DOCTOR’S TONICS,
SAYS TYPHOID PATIENT. i
I
Weak j
State Uses Dr. William*’ Pink Pill*
with Gratifying Results.
After a fever, such as typhoid or soar- J
let. has rnu its full course there remains j
the recovery of strength. The tonic that
will most rapidly increase the red cor
puscles iu the blood is the one that will
most quickly restore color to the pale
cheeks, strength to the weak muscles,
and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So
far nothing has ever been produced su
perior to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pill* for
this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been ill with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had a good physician who carreid her
safely through the critical stages. When
ha left, nothing remained to be done ex
cept to bnild up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pre
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how
ever, she met with disappointment.
“ I took the doctor’s tonics,” she says,
“for two months after I had recovered
from the fever, but they did not do me
the good I looked for. My strength came
bock so slowly that I scarcely seemed to
be making any progress at all. Just
theu I read iu a book thrown iu our
yard some striking testimonials showing
what wonderful blood-builders and
itreugth-givers Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
are. I got a box of them soou after
this and after I had taken only about
half of them I could see a very great im
provement iu my condition. When I
had used up two boxes, I felt that I did
uot need any more medicine. I have
remained strong ever since.”
Miss E. B. Midendorf lives at No.
1501 Park street, Quincy, 111. Dr. Wil
liams’ Piuk Pills are tho best remedy to
use iu all cases of weakness, from what
ever cause the system may be ruu down,
[u cases of debility due to overwork they
minister fresh strength and overcome
nervous symptoms. They are a specific
for anaemia or bloodiessuess. Thoy are
particularly helpful to girls on the vergo
of womanhood. They meet all tho re
quirements of the period known as tho
change of life. They correct spring
languor. They strengthen weak diges
tion and rouse up sluggish organs. No
other tonic combines so many virtues.
All druggists sell them.
Wonderful Sport in Newfoundland.
L. F. Brown In The Country Calen
dar: Brook trout and brown trout are
not appreciated In Newfoundland, be
ing far more common than are the
perch and sunfish of the states. Catch
ing them will soon surfeit the angler
who casts his flies from the shore of
almost appalling in the vast solitudes,
counted by the dozen—one lot of sev
enty-two dozen being brought aboard
the train at Harbor Grace. One dozen
ten-inch trout usually sell for 10 cents.
There are 687 named lakes on the
island, and 30,000 known ones without
names. The Island has about 4,000
miles of sea coast, including that of
bays like Bonavista, Notre Dame, For
tune, St Mary’s, Bonne, St. George,
Placentia and Bay of Islands. From
one to six streams of clear green water
empty into each of these bays. Every
stream that reaches salt water Is a sal
mon stream. Back from all that coast
are other and easily reached streams
that have not even a tradition of a
flsh net, rod or hook, and lakes never
mapped where one may camp and add
to the fare wild geese and ducks, wil
low grouse, whose plumage turns white
In winter, ptarmigan, plover and cur
lew. These camping places bring a
unique sense of remoteness and soli
tude. Only one who has actually seen
the wall of darkness around a camp
fire In the Newfoundland Jungles and
over the tundras can understand the
tinge of fear that sometimes becomes
almost apalllng in the vast solitudes.
Naming a Cigar.
Chicago News: Stubb—The Idea of
naming a cigar after that boodling
politician! I think It's an outrage.
Penn—So do I. He Is so bad they
should have named a cigaret after
him.
LENSLESS PHOTOGRAPHY.
Good Picture*, with Softnea* of Tone,
Taken with Pinhole Camera.
Scientific American; The luking of
a photograph, and a good one. too, with
a camera without a lens may seem to
many utterly Incredulous. Neverthe
less, It Is done, and this Innovation In
photography has become an Interesting
feature with many lovers of the pho
tographic art.
A piece of tinfoil, through w hich was
pierced u fine needle hole, to serve the
purpose of a lens In admitting the
light to the sensitive plate, was se
cured to the front piece of the camera
in place of a lens, and the exposure
made In the regular manner. Pictures
thu* made are now popularly known as
pinhole photographs. The pictures,
however, were not wholly satisfactory,
owing to a difficulty of getting a per
fectly round and smooth hole through
this soft, flexible metal, for In this lay
the main principle of success. Hut this
has led to the bringing out of a new
Invention called the •radloscope,"
which consist* of a very thin piece of
hammered brass plate, through which
is bored an accurately round and
Bmooth hole, and so mounted that It
can be quickly adjusted to any camera,
or any light tight box that fancy may
dictate. There Is a lack of that ex
treme sharpness produced by the regu
lar photographic lens; but, as has been
wisely said, this Is more than compen
sated for by a softness of tone equaled
only- by the brush of an artist.
The Interest manifested In this new
objective Is due to the fact that It Is
of universal focus—the ray-8 focusing
In the stop; the perspective Is true, no
part of the picture being out of focus,
while the Interior and architectural
photographs are rectilinear, that Is,
without distortion of any kind, for the
rays of light fall directly upon the
plate without Interference of any kind.
Nor is the work of the pinhole ob
jective confined to any one subject, for
with it most pleasing portraits can be
made. And It Is said that work requir
ing the sharpest definition, such as
copies, reproductions of documents,
etc., can be better done by the pinhole
objective than It can with a fine lens.
The reason Is obvious. A lens focuses
often sharper than the eye, giving a
staring, unnatural effect to the result
ting print.
Another singular feature In connec
tion with the pinhole objective Is that
any size camera may be used. For
Instance, It will take a picture upon a
plate three Inches long or twenty
inches long. Therefore, It will be seen
that all one has to do Is to arrange
his camera for a small or large plate,
and with the latter Interesting pano
ramic views could be secured. There
Is no doubt that a very cheap and
satisfactory folding camera. In which
to use any of the present series of roll
films, could be made for special pano
ramic work.
Of course, It should be understood
that owing to the small amount of light
admitted through a pinhole objective,
the time of exposure will naturally be
longer than with a lens; and while It
Is possible to over-expose, there is less
liability than with a lens.
