Mars, of the First Wiscon sin Cavalry regiment, writes from 1425 Dunning street, Chicago, 111., the following letter: ••For years I suffered with catarrh of ths kidneys contracted in the army. Medicine did not help me any until a comrade who had been helped by Pc runa advised me to try It. I bought some at once, and soon found blessed relief. / kept taking it four months, and am now well and strong and feel better than / have done for the past twenty years, thanks to Pcruna.”— T. H. Mars. At the appearance of the first symptom of kidney trouble, Peruna should be taken. This remedy strikes at once the very root of the disease. It at once relieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stagnant blood, preventing the escape of serum from the blood. Peruna stimulates the kidneys to excrete from the blood the accumulating poison, and thus prevents the convulsions which are sure to follow if the poisons are allowed to remain. It gives great vigor to the heart's action and digestive system, both of which are apt to fail rapidly in this disease. reruna cures catarrh of the kidneys simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Pr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he w ill lie pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Pr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O.

I “You know, doctor.” he said to his friend and pastor, Rev. Dr. Snow, “1 swore off from drinking anything in toxicating last January?” "Yes." “Well. I liavo kept my vow faith fully all this time—until last night.” “And then you fell? “I am sorry to say I did.” “I am as sorry as you are. Tell me all about it.” “in a moment of weakness I found myself in front of a saloon. One of my friends happened along. ‘Come in and have a drink, old man,’ he said. 'No,' I said. ‘1 ve sworn off.’ 'That's all right,' he said, grabbing me by the arm. One drink won't hurt you. Come in and get ono drink, and Ihen you can renew your swearing off.* I pro tested. but the next moment I totind myself inside, and the old thrist tame back. I took one drink, and then an other and another, and Ihen my freind proposed that we go out and paint the town,” “But you didn't do that?” inter posed the doctor. “I am sorry to say I did. We vis ited every saloon In that part of town, getting drunker and drunker and' having an uproarious time. But we weren't ratified with that. We went to a swell establishment that seemed to be a saloon and restaurant com bined, and ordered a champagne sup per. The waiter brought it on, and we were about to begin on it, when something happened." “What was it?” “1 woke up." “Then it was all a dream?” “It was.” “And you hadn't broken your vow?" “I hadn’t been near a saloon. Hadn't touched a drop.” “Ah, well, thz~\ you !• av< '. t any thing to repent of. my 1:1 md, and yo" have been excifejf my < <-nmlaeratlou on false pretens m and amusing your self at my expense." “No. 1 haven’t doctorsaid Mr. Swiggard, wiping the perspiration from his brow. “The worst is to come, 1 confess to you, doctor, I—I can t help feeling sorry, even yet, that l woke up before 1 had tasted a drop of that champagne!”— lltlca Globe. «--• •««« *♦♦♦ ^ t i BLUEBEARD WOULD NOT CHANGE * . ♦ ♦♦ ♦ « ♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ • • • • • • Once upon a time, not very long after the now famous Bluebeard bad embarked on his interesting matri monial career, a country lawyer call ed upon him and requested an inter view. “What is your business?” inquired Bluebeard, gruffly. “Alas! I must confers thnt I haven’t any business. I am looking for some. Let me explain. Your pen chant for alternating as a widower and a bridegroom has excited consid erable comment in this neighborhood, not altogether of a complimentary character; I may say that dark sus picions are abroad. Some people go so far as to say that something ought to be done. “Now, I have a little scheme to put an end to all this. Why not es tablish a divorce court? Divorces to be granted on application by cither party—I fancy that any lady who wishes to get in her application ahead of yours will have to start early in tlie honeymoon. Cause, iucompati Dlllty.

Ali mony and counsel fees to he paid by the wife—I understand that you have a chronic affinity for heiresses. “I am sure this plan would suit the ladies better than the methods at present in vogue, and it might even have some advantages as far as you are concerned. It might relieve your conscience—if you have any—’’ “Well. I'll think it over," daid Blue beard, “but I can't give you much en couragement. I have my own ways cf doing things and they suit me.” And the lawyer called many times after that, but Bluebeard always said there was nothing doing.—William E. McKenna. In Now York Times. i | METROPOLIS A DIG CITY j » - « « « ... To realize how great New York city is one should compare ft with the great cities of antiquity. Those great centos of civilization which have claimed the wonder of the ages or their size and splendor, were really small cities compared with Greater New York. Babylon, whose name has come to be synonymous with dense popula tion, never had over 1,200.000 inhabi tants in itE palmiest days. Route, the mistress of the world, the great city to which all roads lad, •‘Rome the Eternal.’1 did not exceed 2.000,000 in population. Gibbon, in deed, believes that it bad only 1.200, 000, and in this estimate he and Mil man agree, Constantinople, at the time of its greatest splendor as capital of the eastern empire, had a population of about 1,500,000. Many of the other celebrated cities of antiquity were mere villages compared to New York,' not containing within the whole cir cuit of their walls as many people R3 live in one ward of Manhattan. Athens, when she led the Greek states in repelling ihe invasion of Xerxes, had only 30,000 inhabitants, hut Hero dotus speaks of this number as if it was something to boast of. Jerusa lem in the days of Solomon probably did not contain 20,000 people, and Thebes and Memphis would have been only populous suburbs of New York. New York city now contains more people than there were in the Ameri can colonies when they achieved their independence. It has 1,000,000 more inhabitants than the kingdom of Greece, over 1,000,000 more than the kli gdom of Servia, Is nearly equal in population to the kingdom of Portu gal, and also lacks not much of equal ing the kingdom of Holland. It lias a larger population than any one of the Central American republics, and more than any South American na tion, Brazil and the'"Argentine repub lic excepted. It has about twice tho population of Denmark and more than twice that of Norway. (I THE SEEKER AFTER TROUBLE 11 •» »»»♦ ■♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦-»■<—» ♦♦ ♦ -♦ The really unhappy man, whose un happiness is his own fault, is the cno who is forever carrying "a chip upon ills shoulder." Perhaps hi3 happi ness Is his unhappiness, for when lie is not engaged In a personal alterca tion he is brooding over some fancied slight and awaiting a favorable oppor tunity to give vent to hi3 wrath. The man with the chip on Ills shoul der Is easily recognized, and his so ciety by wise people Is carefully avoid ed. He can go nowhere without trou ble following in his wake. If he at tends a theater he is either annoyed by the usher or someone in the audi ence, or at the man in the box office for not having sold him a seat bougnt long before he appeared at the win dow. He is the bane of the car con ductor, and on the railroad train ho succeeds in embroiling himself in a row with the bralteman, conductor, Pullman-ear porter and the passengers. Each flying cinder from the locomo , tlve is aimed especially at his eyes, | and he succeeds in stirring up the spirit of mutiny in the hearts of the travelers. There are somo women similarly constituted, who manage to he in trou ble from the moment their eyes open in the morning till iney close them in sleep. Those people are Indeed to l)e pitied, if indeed they are not cor dially hated. This quarrelsome habit of mind ran bo so festered that tho petulancy grows to Te a malignant disease and leads sometimes to the insane asylum. Parents who notice in their children this fretful, quarrel ing disposition can cosily find a rem edy. They may not ag.-ec to the meas ure—simply, a good, sound thrashing. Everyone has heard of the story of the child who was ecntinually whim poring and quarreling. In despair the mother cried: “Are you sick? What do you want?” Gravely the child an swered: “I think, Minima, I want a whipping.” She received the whip ping. and there was a marked im provement in her temper.—San Fran cisco Post. Sacrifice to Science. A well known surgeon was, recently called upon to perform an operation on the person of a small son of a prominent merchant of Philadelphia. Prior to the operation, his mother proposed that he should say his pray ers. This the little fellow did, after which tlie nurFc began to remove his clothing, while the mother stood by weeping. Suddenly he asked: “Mamma, mayn't I say another prayer?" “Certaluly, dear; pray all you wish." The little fellow at once got down , on hia knees, lifted his face upward and. amid the alienee, solemnly said: "Oh, God, please don’t kill me; kii) the doctor. Amen."

The French have found a reason for the popularity of the cakewalk in Paris. The thing is French! One of the negroes at the Nouveau Cirque, in terviewed by a Paris paper, says that tlie origin of the dance was French. According to this latest account, sofhe of the French refugees from the court of Marie Antoinette introduced the minuft into New Orleans about the time of the Revolution, and it was the native imitation of the most faslil<»i able dance in Europe that was after ward developed into the cakewalk. Wealth of the Pope. Leo's fortune is immense. It is one of the great fortune’s of the world. In the grand schism of the West, popes were frequently supported on alms. Voltaire points out that the popes did not become rich till after the period when they dared not to exhibit them selves at Rome. According to Villani, Bertrand do Got. or Both, Clement V. of Bordeaux, who passed his life In France and was governed by King Philip, sold benefices publicly and died worth 25,000,000 gold florins, about $37,600,000. “It appears,” says Vol taire, "that the popes have been often treated liko the gods of the Japanese, who are sometimes presented with offerings of gold, nnd sometimes thrown into the river.” Storekt’U’ers report that the extra quantity, together with the superior quality of Defiance Starch makes It next to impossible to sell any other brand.
