v CATARRH THIRTY YEARS The Remarkable Experience of a Prominent Statesman—Congress man Meekison Gives Pe-ru-na a High Endorsement. • w&y. • r ■ . Congressman Slrcklton of Ohio. non. David Meekison is well known no*’ only in his own State, hut through out America. II? was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority,and is the acknowledged leader of tiis party ill his section of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising states man. Catarrh with its insidious ap proach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Pcruna came to the rescue. He writes : “I have used several bottles of Pc runa and I feel greatly bene fitted there by from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that If I use It u short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of thirty years’ standing. ” -David Meeklson, Member of Congress.

Herbert Spencer Is quoted ad Pay ing that he has no Illusions as to tbs popularity of philosophy. 1 think it probable that if you would ask niney nine out of a hundred peopls whether they W'ould daily take a spoonful of eod liver oil or read a chapter of my Principles of Psychology, they would prefer the eod liver oil," be said. The philosopher has again declared thai lie is broken by the burden of years and has laid his pen down forever a« far as any large work is concerned. Controlling the Press :n Turkey. All printing establishments in Tur key, according to a new law just pass ed, may have only one doo*\ and that opening on tne street. Windows must be covered with close-meshed wire netting, so that uo papers can be handed through. A statement must be made a year in advance of the amount of ink required, which will he supplied by the state. A specimen of everything printed is to be kept and must be shown at any time to a police inspector on pain of a tine. A “Hard Working Minister.” Rev. David I. Cheney of Gloucenter, N. J.. is known as the "hard working minister.” He works during the week as a carpenter and on Sunday preaches the gospel. He went to Gloucester several years ago while president of the Methodist Congregational confer ence and established a church. A year ago he transferred his church to Camden, where he now conducts serv ices. The humbugs of life constitute it* pleasures. The realities its pains. Working People Interested. Wuertsburg, Wis., Nov. 17th.—The working men and women of this dis trict are greatly Interested in the case of Mary Kowsky, who, In an In terview, says: "I have almost all my lifo been a sufferer from Backache and two years ago I caught cold on my Kid neys and the agonies that followed were almost unbearable. ‘‘I consulted different doctors but the relief they gave me was only tem porary. The terrible pains always reJ turned and my suffering tempted me*' to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. They did! me good almost from the start tilk now after taking three boxes 1 am' almost completely cured. “I want all hard working people to know this for with the help of Dodd's Kidney Pills I don't mean to suffer any more Backache."

I was reading a story about the snakes of Martinique, and it seems that they are afliieted on the is land with a rather bad brand of makes, snakes that really go around looking for trouble. I could not help thinking that the Martinique reptile must be related in some way to the vicious water moccasin which is to be found in the St. Francis basin, up in Arkansas. They are savage, and what is ‘worse and more of it,’ they seem to have organized for offensive and de fensive purposes. There are millions upon millions of these snakes in the basin of the St. Francis river between the Sunk Lands and the mouth of the river, a few miles above Helena. I have soon the lakes alive with them, i have known of instances where it would bo impossible for a farm hand to water his horses nfier his day’s work on account of the snakes. The makes fed in the edges or the lake during the evening, and as soon as au effort would he made to water the horse at a certain place they would make a charge on that particular place, wriggling in from the lake in great numbers. They seemed to re sent it as an encroachment upon their rights ami no amount of 'shooting' or chunking would drive them away. They would simply choke the drink ing place. I have seen this same thing happen a number of times. Of course, it would be necessary to take the horse elsewhere for watering purposes. They are exeremely poisonous, and I 1 ave heard of many instances where the moccasin bite killed animals. Dogs in that part of the country frequently die as the result of being bitten by a water moccasin. They are not bad about running away when they are in i flock. In fact, the running had bet ter he on the other side if it happens to be either near the beginning or at the end of the snake season, for they really seem to be more vicious and more petulant, if I may say it, at the extremes of the season than at other times. I suppose there is some nat ural reason for the fact. At any rate, it is a fact. Coming back to the point I will put the particular brand of Ark ansas water moccasin to which I have icferrcd against anything in the rep tilian line to be found in Martinique, cr in any other place, for that mat ter, for I really believe they are the most desperately vicious snakes on the face of the earth."—New Orleans | Times-Democrat. Strange Chance Proves the Wor!d Is Not So Vast "I have a cousin in America. No , doubt you have met him. He lives in Topeka, Kan.” Few are the voyagers to the other side who have not bumped against some such assertion and then fallen under suspicion of being themselves unknown, since the provincial mind of the foreigner cannot realize that the Western hemisphere is slightly larger than a parish in Kent. And this, apropos of the fact that some years ago a certain New York man who happens to be a ‘‘mighty hunter before the Lord," journeyed to Iiritish Columbia in search of big game. While sojourning at Winnipeg he expressed a desire to bag some caribou and a friend who knew the country thoroughly advised him to go to Waubagun, a station on a branch of the Northern Pacific. “There is nothing nut a water tank there," said his friend, “and only one man in the whole section, a Scotch recluse, who looks after the tank; but he is a superb guide, and as he has only one train a day to watch out for he will give you all the sport you want." The New Yorker went, won the re gard of the hermit, and slew caribou by the score. Last summer he was in Scotland, and while roaming over the moors one cay lost his way. At length he espied a little cottage, and making for it inquired for directions and asked if he could not be accommodated with something to eat. His hostess, a motherly Scotcli body, at once set about getting him a “snack,” nnd, like all rustics, during the course of her preparations deluged him with ques tions. "An’ so ye're frae America, ye say?" she finally interjected. "Happen ye ken my son, Sandy McNeil? He's been over there mony a year." "I think not,” replied the visitor wearily. “You see America is a very large place. Where does your son re side?'1 “At Waubagun watc tank,” replied the dame. Strange frean of chance! A habitue of Fifth avenue was made the link oi ejmmunication between the lonely mother and her equally lonely son, separated from each other by half the distance around the globe. Biblical Writings in Old Turkish Mosque it Some very interest'.!;?; manuscripts have been discovered in the vault of the Jami-and-Kebar mosque, in Dam ascus. Relying on an ancient tradi tion, which said that important docu ments relating to the early Christians were stored there, certain Biblical scholars requested the sultan to let them search the vault, and after eon ridering the matter for a year and being assured by oriental scholars that there were no ancient documents in the vault relating to the Mahome tan creed, he finally gave his consent. As a result a thorough search was recently made and many valuable manuscripts were found. These were taken to Constantinople, and an ex amination showed that among them were several fragments of the Olu and New Testament in the ancient Syraic tongue, as well as portions of a trans lation of the Old and New Testament in that Syraic dialect which was spoken in Palestine in ancient times. | Among the latter was a translation t of some of the epistles of St. Paul, the existence of which wa3 unknown to scholars, and which is of great value, as the dialect in which it is written was spoken during the life oi Christ Among other ireasures discovered were fragments of the Pentateuch, in the Samaritan tongue, an Arabic translation of the 73t’u psalm, seventy seven pages of a hitherto unknown commentary in the old Syraic tongue, and several psalms and eleven pages of the Pentateuch, written in Greek and dating back to the 11th century llaron Marschall, the German am bassador to Turkey, has 6hown much interest in tins discovery, and it is said that the sultan has granted him permission to send the manuscripts to Berlin, with the object of having them carefully examined by the best biblical scholars in Europe.—Stray Stories. THE LOGIC OF THE SABBATH On* Day In the Seven Should Qe Kept Free From Work. As a psychologist, 1 believe in the Sabbath day. One day in seven should be kept holy from work and sacred to man’s primitive paradise of leisure. I am no Puritan pietist or even Sabba tarian in any severe sense, but hold that this is one of the greatest of all human institutions, nnd that the com mand to keep it as a day of rest is written in our physiological constitu tions. If need be. it may be kept in sleep, man’s great rcsterer. Monday our nerves and brain must be re freshed, and wc must start a new weekly rhythm on a higher plane than we closed the old one. The mental scenery must be changed. The brood er's overthought must have enlarged our plans and given us botli moment um and direction. What form the rest cure should take differs perhaps for each person. I go to church, but my neighbor should perhaps spend the day in the fields with children, in music, in books, but for all there should be peace, tranquillity, repose, surcease of worry and relaxation. In no land should the Sabbath be so hal lowed as In this l?.nd of hustle, tension and Americanitis.—G. Stanley Hal!, iu Ainslee's. AS GOOD AS SLEEP. Why Insomnia Had No Terror for the Lato Senator Vance. During the last term of the lato Sen ator “Zeb” Vance of North Carolina a | man noted at the capital and through out the South as a wit, li3 was met walking down Pennsylvania avenue about - o'clock one winter morning by Maj. E. E. Pope. Scenting a senatorial poker party somewhere or else a late supper at Chamberlin's, Maj. Pope, with feigned seriousness, said: "Good morning. Senator, isn't it a little early for you to be taking a stroll?" "No, sah ” drawled the Senator, with all his Southern dignity, "it is very I usual for me to walk about Washing ton at this hour." “Ah, I see,” replied Maj. Pope, back ing water, as it were, "insomnia. I know how it is myself.” “Majah Pope,” said the statesman, “I long ago vanquished insomnia. It Is quite true that sometimes I go tc bed and can't sleep. Then I get up and take a good stiff dram "of corn whisky. I go back to bed, and if sleep doesn't come Immediately I get up and take another dram. I go back to bed, and then, if I see that sleep is still backward about coming to me. I’ll get up and take a great big dram. And do you know, Majah Pope, after I've had five o. Ax drams of corn whisky I don't care a rap if I never go to sleep. Dentists Arc Philanthropic. Swedish dentists have subscribed for the gratuitous distribution in their country of a periodical which is to in culcate better ideas regarding the can of the teeth. It is surprising how easy It seems to get something one doesn’t want. Qret Harte’s Complaint. In an article of reminiscences Mary Stuart lioyd says that the late Bret Harte never obtruded his personality. He also had a dread of people re garding him for his work only, not for himself. "Why didn't you tell me it was Bret Harte who sat next to me at dinner last night?” wailed one of society’s smartest young matrons, in a note to her hostess the morning after a large dinner party. "I have always longed to meet him and 1 would have been so different had 1 only known who my neighbor was.” "Now, why can't a woman realize this sort of thing insulting?” queried the author, to whom the hostess had for warded her friend's letter. "If Mrs. -— talked with me and found me uninteresting as a man how could she expect to find me interesting because I was an author?” A Curious Bocth Relic. An ordinary looking piece ot callous ed skin is kept with extraordinary care by C. H. Braley. chiropodist, among h(3 other pedal curios. It is nothing but a small corn, but it came from the bottom of Edwin Booth’s foot twenty-four years ago. and for that reason is considered valuable by the doctor. 11 s secured It while Booth was playing in Dayton. O. it seer.r that the actor was fond of doing part of his aet'ng by emphatic use of his feet, ho when the corn seized upon him it injured bis work. He was re ferred to Dr. Braley, placed himself In the doctor's hands, and left there the corn and a generous fee. The fee was soon gone, but the calloused skin wus religiously preserved in cotton. Great Loss of Science. A story is told of the late Professor Snell of Amherst college, which re lates how he once asked for a defini tion of the solar coiona from a mem ber of his class in astronomy. The young man, after a good deal of hes itation and a dread consciousness of iinepding failure, plunged desperately into the statement that he did know what the corona was but had forgot ten. The professor turned to his class witn a tragic gesture. “What an incalculable loss to science," he exclaimed, with emotion, "that the only man who ever knew what the sun's corona is has forgotten!” How “Doc ’ Brown Prospered. "Hon. Doc” Brown of Morgansfleld, Ky., -. ho represents his district in the state legislature, is one of Kentucky’s unique characters. To Illustrate a point in a recent speech, he gave the following account of his courtship: “Take my ndvice and never give a wo man anything she can't eat. and nev er make love to her out of an ink hot tle. Why. when I courted my wife. I just grabbed hold of her and 1 said, ’Sallie, you are the sweetest thing on earth, and your beauty bodies the skill of man and subdues his ferocious nature,’ and I got her.” An Ancient Mail Carrier. There has just died in a suburb of Melbourne an old Irishman of 90. His name was John Burke, and away back in the '30a. when Austria was only a penal settlement, ruled by military Dfdcers. and long before the discovery if gold revolutionized the great south ern continent, he c arried the mails be tween Melbourne and Sydney. There were no roads or railways then. It was wild bush for most of the 500 aides, and Burke had to rely on lorscs to carry out his contract. Or.ce. raving lost his horre, he rode 100 j Tilc3 on the back of a cow. THE ST.
