A Pretty New York Woman’s Recovery
the Talk of Her Numerous Friends.
Mrs. J. E. Finn, 82 East High street,
Buffalo, N. Y., writes:
l'eruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio
Gentlemen:—‘ A few years ago 1
had to give up social life entirely, as
my health was completely broken
down. The doctor advised a com
plete rest for a year. As this was
out of lhe question for a lime, J be
gan to look for some other means oj
restoring my health.
"I had often heard of Peruna as
an excellent tonic, so 1 bought a bot
tle to see what it would do for me,
and it certainly took hold of my
system and rejuvenated me, and in
less than two months I "was in per
fect health, and now "when I feci
worn out or tired a dose or two oj
J’eruna is all that J need.”—Mrs.

Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.
America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority of nervous women are
so because they are suffering from some
form of female disease. By far the great
est number of female troubles are caused
directly by catarrh. These women despair
of recovery. Female trouble is so common,
so prevalent, that they accept it as almost
inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the
wav of recovery is that they do not under
stand that it is catarrh which is the source
cf their illness.
In female complaint, ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh.
J’eruna cures catarrh wherever located.

Boa Constrictor Pet of Snake Charmer Too Demonstrative
In His Showing of Affection—He Is Now Due as a
Present to Zoological Garden of Seme City.
An article appeared in last Sunday’s f
-ost giving the details of how a local
inimai dealer's arm was nearly brok- j
>n in handling a boa constrictor, which
suddenly wrapped itself twice around
lis arm when he was not looking. The I
lealer has since given a Post reporter
some further details regarding this
aarticuiar boa.
“This reptile,” he said, “appears to
tave had a had reputation. 1 did not |
snow it at the time, but I learned (
ifterward that he was sold to me by |
?ersons who had had some experience
jf his evil ways and were anxious to
set rid of him. Had I known this at
She time I bought the snake 1 could
navs purchased it for about half of
what 1 actually paid. The next expert- j
’nee which 1 had with him did not
arouse my suspicions, as all boas are
more or lees tricky and dangerous, but
now it appears that he is a downright ,
langorous reptile.
“1 sold the snake to a small travel- ,
ing eireus, in which one of the women j
was a ’snake charmer,’ as they are
advertised, and 1 have just receiver!
l letter from the manager ef this show ,
in one of the Western cities saying j
hat the ‘snake charmer' had trouble I
with the reptile from the outset, ami
that last week, while she was perform
ing and hail the boa wrapped about
her waist, he tightened his eoila, and,
despite the efforts of three able-bodied
circus roustabouts to remove the
snake, he broke three of her ribs. She
is now in a hospital. The accident
produced an immense sensation. The
woman's screams were heard a block
away, and the spectators le.t their
seats and crowded into the ring. Tin
pain must have been intense, for the
woman was removed to a hospital in
a dead faint.
"The end of such a reptile is not
difficult to foresee. Ho will be given
as a present from (he generous and
publit-spirited showman to some zoo.
After an elephant lias kill d several
keepers or a tiger makes a meal of his
trainer, then the showman becomes
very liberal. Whenever you see an
elephant, lion or large snake in a zoo
cage labeled, 'Presented by Faque &
iteoem's Consolidated. World-Renown
ed Aggregation of Three Shows in
One,’ you may rest assured that the
animal’s record is like that of Jesse
James or Cole Younger."—Washington
Post.
Washington as a Letter Writer,
Father of His Country Left Behind Him Seme Ten Thousand
Missives, Covering All Conceivable Subjects Simplir
city, Dignity and Grace Tlicir Characteristics.
In a recent oration on the lire and ,
haraeter of Washington, delivered
before the rniversity of Pennsyl- i
vania, l)r. S. Weir Mitchell, the fa !
mo us physician and man of letters, j
made some statements in regard to I
our first President which, we dare ]
say, will be new- even to many who !
have supposed themselves to be thor- i
ougbly familiar with the facts of his
life. These statements refer to
Washington's remarkable productiv
I ity as a letter writer and also to 1
the character and range of his corre
pendence. There are some 10,000
'letters in existence written by Wash
! ington, we are informed by Dr. Mlt
je’.ell, 2,000 of them being in one
collection. And such letters! None
rre hasty scrawls, none mere trifles,
none have that clipped, telegraphic
i style so common in this rapid anti
feverish age. Ail are beautifully and
carefully written, with never a sign
of haste, nervousness or passion.
They range over every conceivable
subject from the < are of his slaves,
dogs and horses and the planting of
crops to the most weighty matters ol
state, and are addressed to all classes
and ranks ol people, from the over
seers of his plantation and his loving
nephews and nieces to generals in
the field and diplomats In foreign
courts. For all alike there is slm
plicity, dignity and grace. Reticence
in regard to matters of the heart was
characteristic of Washington, and is
illustrated by the fact that in all
this vast number of letters which he
left behind there are but two ad
dressed to his wife. It is certain that
he wrote many surh, for he was an
affectionate husband, and whether
they were destroyed by her at his
direction cannot he known, but it is
reasonable to suppose that such was
the ease, for Washington was a far
sighted man, and nothiug could have
been more repugnant to his spirit
than the thought of having such let
ters, with the tender sentiments ex
pressed, dragged out to public view in
after years.
Things a Yankee Can Do,
Vital Difference Between Americans and Englishmen Pointed
Out by a Writer in Harper's Magazine—Why the
Former Is by Far the Better Workman,
The Englishman has none of that
tll-around mental activity whicn dis
tinguishes the American. He knows
mly one thing—that hy which he
»arns his living, and he does not *te
jire to know anything else; far less is
le ashamed of not knowing it. A I.on
ion policeman, if you ask him about
some distant street or building of im
portance, will reply civilly, hut una
pashed, “I can’t tell you, sir; that is
lot in ray heat.” An American police
nan would know the fact, and if he
lid not know it he would feel called
ppon to apologize for his Ignorance.
In a remote Maine village there was
recently some occasion for a plumber,
and a very good ohe was forthwith
Improvised from a carpenter. Such a
thing would be impossible In England.
Many a New England farmer can build
or repair his barn, paint and plaster
bis house, •'tinker" his mowing ma
chine, shoe his horse, doctor his row
break his eolt, row or sail his boat,
“butcher” his pig, shear his sheep,
skin a fox, track a deer, hive bees,
serve as guide or lumberman, play the
fiddle, solve a problem in arithmetic,
make a good speech in town meeting
and do a hundred other things besides.
There is piobahly not a man in ail
England who can do half so many
things. The American is quick-witted
lias far more general intelligence and
information and is therefore by far a
better workman.—H. C. Merwin in
Harper's Magazine.
WOULDN’T STOP TO LISTEN.
Conversation Natural Result of Meet
ing of Two Women.
They met down cn Twenty-third
street the other morning. Each had
a bundle and each looked happy. Af
ter a few introductory remarks, just
enough to impress each other that
they were glad they had met, this
conversation ensued:
• Yes, Molli: Is down with—”
“Oh, you don’t say so?’’
"She was taken with—”
"The poor girl!”
"As I was going to say, Mollie is—”
"And she always was delicate.”
"Yes; but as I was going to say—”
“Give her my love and tell her 1
hope she will soon be out.”
“Pardon me, my dear; but as I was
going to say—”
“Who's your doctor?”
“Pardon me again; but ss I started
1 to say—”
"Oh, you did start to say some
thing; I beg your pardon.”
“As I started to say, Mollie is down
with her aunt in Hackensack. She
was taken with a desire to get to the
country, and went yesterday.”
And then both went hack to the
bargain counters.—New York Times.
Jesting Away Her Wrath.
"Sydney Smith,” hissed the little
woman with the dripping candle, “I
am surprised to see you coming home
in this state.”
“Well, my dear,” chuckled the col
larless individual in the doorway,
"what state did you expect to see me
come home in—Alaska or Florida?”

as its management is concerned. These
progressive Oriental maidens propose
to make their paper an organ for the
women of China, but they also in
tend to give as much space as may
be necessary to politics and general
news. The young women concerned
all belong to influential families, and
the paper has a good financial back

Murphy's portrait of President Mc
Kinley lias been received at the
White House ami now bangs to the
right of the north vestibule door, the
space on the left of the door being
occupied by Sargent’s portrait of
President Roosevelt. The hanging is
a favorable one for an oil painting
and the portrait, which was painted
from a photograph, the artist never
having seen Mr. McKinley, is much ad
mired. The late president's friends
declare it the best likeness of Mr. Mc
Kinley in existence.
A Suggestion to Morgan.
At the Lotus club Charles W. Price
told this story about J. Plerrepont
Morgan: A young reporter was sent
to . r. Morgan's residence to ask an
important question. "Mr. Morgan Is
out,” said the butler. The reporter,
noticing a carraige in waiting, linger
ed near the entrance to the Madison
avenue residence, and In a few mo
ments was not exactly astonished to
see Mr. Morgan Cmiie out and start
for the carriage. He dared approach
and ask the question, as he had been
Instructed. "Young man,” said Mr.
Morgan, “didn’t my butler tell you I
was out." ”Yes, but you rhould
change your butler for one who can
speak the truth." Mr. Morgan turned
his penetrating eyes on the questioner
for a moment, and then said, as he
entered his carriuge: “Call at my of
fice in the morning and suggest any
other changes In my establishment you
deem advisable." The reporter did
1 call, and has possessed fairly pleasant
relations with the eminent financier
ever since.
English Disdain Peanuts.
Over in England they call the pea
nut “ground-nut” and “ground-bean,”
says Tip in the New York Press, in
Hritish eyes it is only for pigs. It is
met with occasionally in fruiterers’
i shops, hut never in push carts, as in
New York. A pritish encyclopedia
says: “In the southern states of North
America me seeds, or nuts, as they
are called, are roasted and used as
chocolate. They are a favorite arti
cle of food with the negroes.” Geor
gians are called "goober grabblers”
throughout the south. Many a farmer
has grown rich on the humble peanut,
the annual product being worth $10,
000,000. Some persons try to belittle
the goober. A lawyer, examining a
witness .* an important case, one
whose testimony was conclusive, un
dertook to ridicule him. “You are a
business man, I believe?” “Yes.”
"What u your business?” “I deal In
I peanuts.” The lawyer smiled know
ingly at the Jury. “A peanut vender,
eh? How many pints did you sell last
month?” “I haradly know. A mil
lion, possibly.” "What! A million?”
"I handle about half a million bush
els a year. 1 am a wholesale dealer.”
The lawyer sat down, with the laugh
turned on him.
Any girl who marries to please her
folks usually gets the worst, of it.
A Sensational Case.
Alston, Mich., May 25th.—Hough
ton County has never witnessed a
more striking medical case than that
of Mr. James Culet of this place.
Mr. Culet had spent a small fortune
with the best physic ians in the coun
ty and in addition to this he has tried
every medicine he could hear of.
He had a very bad case of Rheuma
tism and Kidney Trouble, from which
he had suffered for twenty years.
Nothing he could get seemed to do
him any good, and he was gradually
growing worse.
He has no Rheumatism now and
explains it thus:
One day I happened to see an ad
veriisement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills
and decided to try them.
‘ I made up ray mind to give them
a good fair trial, as my case was a
very bad one and was of over twenty
years’ standing.
"I used altogether 42 boxes and I
can truthfully say that they have
driven out every trace of the Rheuma
tism.
"I feel like a new man, and I can
and do most heartily recommend
Dodd’s Kidney Pills for Rheumatism
and Kidney Trouble.”
Life’s burdens would be greatly
lightened if col'ars with saw edges
were done away with.
Try One Package.
If "Defiance Starch” does not
