A PROMINENT COLLEGE MAN. One of Indiana’s Useful Educators Says: “I Feel Like a New Han.” Mr. John W. Meng, 54 Jefferson Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., State Representative of Indianapolis Husiness College, writes: •• I firmly believe that I owe my line health to Peruna. Constant travel and change of food and water wrought havoc with my stomach, and fhr months / suffered with Indigestion and catarrh of the stomach. I felt that the only thing to do was to give up my occupation which I felt very reluctant to do. Seeing an ad. of Peruna as a specific for catarrh I decided to give it a trial, and used It faithfully for six weeks, when I found that my troubles had all disappeared and I seemed like a new man. / have a bottle of Peruna in my grip all the time, and occasionally take a few doses which keeps mein excellent health.”— John W. Meng. THE most common phases of summer catarrh are catarrh of the stomach and bowels. Peruua is a specific for summer catarrh. Hon. Willis Brewer. Representative in Congress from Alabama, writes the follow ing letter to Dr. Hartman : House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. The Peruna Medirfne Co., Columbus, O.: Gentlemen—“I have used one bottle of Peruna for lassitude, and I take pleasure in recommending it to those who need a good remedy. As a tonic it is excellent. In the short time I have used it it has done me a great deal of good."—Willis Brewer If you do not derive prompt and satisfac tory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state ment of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio FOR WOMEN Much That Eveiy Woman Desires to Know About Sanative Antisep tic Cleansing And about the Care of the SKin, Scalp, Hair and Hands.

Over 200 of Its 590 mem bers owe their presence to other causes than descent. Quite a number of the hereditary lords are debarred from voting by the fact that they are either minors, undischarged bank rupts or inmates of lunatic asylums. The non-hereditary lords comprise the archbishops and bishops of the Church of# England and those who have been created peers by Queen Vic toria and King Edward for special services renedered to the crown. Albania's Mighty Soldiers. Albania lies 180 miles on the Adri atic sea and is fifty to 100 miles wide. It was formed originally, sasv William Jackson Armstrong in his "Heroes of Defeat,” from part of Ilyris, all of Epirus and part of Macedonia in the eleventh century. From this territory sprug Pyrrhus, who defeated the Ro man invader; Philip and Alexander of Macedon, the Conquerors; Perseus, whose fame as a soldier covered the world sixty years after Christ, and Skanderbeg, who for forty years de feated armies sent against by the Turk. Ancient Albania lay in Asia, Just east of the Caucasus. A Woman’s Back. Dublin, Mich., June 29th.—To th# many women who suffer with weak back and pains and tired feelings In the small of the back, the experience of Mrs. Fred Chalker of this place will be interesting and profitable. Mrs. Chalker had suffered a very great deal with these back pains and although she had tried many things, she could find nothing tnat would re-, lieve her. The pain kept on in spite of all she could do. At last she chanced to read the story of another lady who had suf fered with the backache, and raid she had been cured by a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Mrs. Chalker, thonght she would try the same tniug. After the first two boxes had been taken according to directions, she be gan to feel some better, and ahe kept on till at last she was cured. Her pains are all gone, and she ts very grateful. She sues: “Dodd's Iwdney PHIb helped me greatly, and I will always recommend them as a cure for Pain in the Back.” There are some positions that seem to require men who don’t know very much. HARP ALWAYS THE PRIDE j OF THE EMERALD ISLE j Long before history had trodden a jatnway across the insecure ground if legend and tradition the Irish harp vas alike the reflex and interpreter it popular feeling. Perhaps it may ie said to have come popularly into be general view when James I. Paced it in the third quarter of the oyal arms of Great Britain. But a .•entury before this Henry VIII. had .mpressed a harp on the Irish eoin ige; a seemingly prosaic fact which ,’ct cannot be divorced from the ?trong element of romance which per ncates every phase of the subject, 'or it seems that a son of King Brian 3oru presented his father’s harp to pope John XVIII. in 1003; and that t was treasured In Home until Leo X. ?er.t it to Henry VIII. 500 years after ward. He in turn gave it to the first Karl of Clanricarde; and after pass ing into the possession of several Irish families Brian's storied harp eventually found a homo in the col- ! lege museum in Dublin. But suppos ing this venerable instrument to be at least 1.000 years old, that la a mere j trifle in the history of the harp—and 1 I especially of the Irish harp. We may accept the Thebian harp as a pretty ancient representative of i ; its great family; but then the older; Irish historians go hack to the deluge j and It is only in the very mistland of j antiquity that we lose touch with j their national symbol. And even i there we seem to catch the echo of j its strains. But though boasting of such a re mote past, the Irish harp is simply an adaptation of an instrument com mon to central and northern Europe, We find it in the hands of the Ger man and Celtic bards, and of the Scandinavian skalds; and every race has been able to impress upon it something of its own peculiar genius. The violin is Italian in its birth, and it is said to be anima'ed by un Italian soul. And in like manner, such of the old Irish music as has come down to us essentially consists ».f strains of the harp. This, however, is not surprising, for we are told that "long before the lyre was known in Home or Greece the Gael of Ireland had attained a high degree of perfoe- I tion in the form ar.d management of the harp. Not to lie capable of sweep ing it in a masterly manner was deemed a disgrace even to royalty.” This, however, wes not solely an Irish ieeling, but that of almost every peo ple among whom the harp flourished. In medieval times it was regarded at the king of musical instruments, 'hietly because no other provided such an effective accompaniment for the voice. The national feeling arous ed by it was nowhere expressed mere strongly than in Ireland, and the cloud of legends, traditions and an cient superstitions which in that country seem essentially to cling to it are its peculiar but very natural heritage. The harp is the especial pride of the green isle. HOW KENTUCKY JURY GOT j 1 EVEN WITH TRICKY THIEF \ Ex-Gov. W. O. Bradley says that one never knows what a jury will do. 1 "Juries are just as uncertain as kick I ing mules,” he declared. “A lawyer never knows what may influence a juror’s mind, and too frequently mat ters other than the law and the facts in a case determine verdicts. “Down in my county years ago a fellow was accused of manslaughter, and he came to me and employed me to defend him. At first it looked like the poor devil had a had case, but after I had heard his story, I be came convinced that, he would have no difficulty in proving that he shot in self-defense. ”1 went into the trial with a deter mination to get him off. I felt that he was being grossly mistreated and unjustly accused, and I had the evi dence on which I based my opinion. I will venture to say that there was not a man, woman or child who heard the testimony who believed that my client was guilty, and from a study of the jurors' faces I had brought, my self to believe that they were just as strongly convinced that he was inno cent. "I made my argument, and I don't believe I ever spoke with more earn estness and more feeling. The court ordered the jury to retire and make a verdict, and I rat in my seat, be lieving it wouldn’t take them long to agree. I turned to my client and said: ‘They will be bark here in fif teen minutes and you will be ac quitted.’ “There was a rap on the door of the jury room, and the jurors filed into the court room. The foreman handed the verdict to the clerk, who read: ’We, the jury. fir.d the defend ant guilty, and fix his punishment at ten years at hard labor in the state penitentiary.’ “I was simply shocked. I walked out of the court house and the first man I met was the foreman of the jury. “ ‘Tom,’ said I, ’what in thunder did you mean by making such a ver dict as that? Don’t you know that the law and the evidence did not war rant any such verdict?” “He called me to one side and said: ‘Bill, I’ll tell you about thal feller. He’s been stealing mules and chick ens in my neighborhood for ten years. We’ve known all the time that he was guilty, but he was so tricky we could not get the proof on him. I told them fellers on the jury about him, and we all just agreed that we would soak It to him ■while we had a good chance. So we just give him ten years.”— Louisville Courier-Journal. | SINGING BULLET NOT THE j MISSILE TO BE FEARED <1 • A “Don't be afraid of a bullet that you’ve heard whistle,” said another old soldier. "If It sings in your ear rest assured that it will never harm you. It is a fact, as any old soldier will tell you, that you never hear the bullet whjch hits you. It is a prob lem of ‘windage,’ as the boys in the army called it. In other words, the bullet which you hear sing has al ready sped past you, and the bullet which hits you has hissed in the ear of some other fellow in passing be fore it got to you. It is a simple proposition, after all. The singing of the bullet is the atmospheric vibra tion which is created and the resist ance which the air ofTers to the prog ress of the bullet. This cannot be detected by the ear until the bullet has crossed a parallel line with the ear. It may sail over your head or whizz close to the ground, but if it passes you at all the car will catch the sound of its flight. To the soldier of many battles the voice of (he bul let is music. He knows that he need have no fear of the bullet that sings in his ears. It is the bullet that he does not hear that must be feared. f ...... and it is this bullet which always brings harm to him. No soldier ever heard the bullet which inflicted a wound on him. I wes amused by a raw soldier who was attached to our command. It was his first time on the firing line. We were skirmishing and some sharpshooters were having some fun at our expense. A bullet whizzed close to him. Faintly we could hear the crack of the rifle, but It was not distinct enough to alarm even a novice. The singing of the bullet, however, brought a blanched expression to his fate. He did not wince, however. We were lying In the edge of the woods. Another bul let buzzed by. ‘I don’t like the sound’ said the young soldier. Zip! Another bullet split the air very close to his head. He was paler still. ‘Comrade,’ he said to me, between bleached lips, ‘I don’t want to be shot from ambush; let’s charge the devils.’ I told him not to fear a bullet that had spoken to him on Its flight, out he did not like the idea of lying there in the woods and listening to the voices of these invisible messengers of death.’’ —Baltimore American. The Stork Came Back. A Warsaw journal relates the fol lowing story of an experiment made by a Polish nobleman to ascertain how far storks migrate during the winter. He.caught a stork and attached a plate to its neck on which were inscribed the words: “Haec ciconia ex Polonia" tThis stork .ernes from Poland). In the following spring the same stork was found in the nobleman’s park with a bundle round its nock containing several precious stones of great value, and the metal plate with these words on the other side: India cum donis remittit Polonis" (India sends him back with presents to the Poles).

Little Edith went to the kindergar ten. One day the teacher gave her a liet of words, telling the little miss to find out their meaning and then write a sentence containing each word. The first word on the list was “niche,” and llrtle Miss Bright Eyes discovers that It means a recess, so she very care fully and precisely wrote on her slate: “The children ate their lunch at niche.” And the teacher wondered at the flexibility of the English language Few Women in Unions.
