THE SALESWOMAN Compelled to Be on Her Feet the Larger Part of the Day Finds a Tonic In Pe-ru-na. Mias Curtain, of St. Paul, Gives Her Experience. \ ^pfiss NeUie^urtain.^y MISS NELLIE C’JRTAIN, 646 Tearl street, St. Paul, Minn., head sales woman in a department store writes: "/ have charge of a department In a dry good» store, and after standing the larger part of the day, I would go home with a dull ache, generally through my entire body. I used Pe runa and feeI so much better that I walk to and from the store now. / know Peruna to be the best medicine on the market for the diseases peculiar to women.”—Miss Nellie Curtain. Nothing is so weakening to the human system as the constant loss of mucus. Catarrhal inflammation of the mucus membrane produces an excessive forma tion of mucus. Whether the mucus mem brane be located in the head or pelvic organs, the discharge of mucus is sure to occur. This discharge of mucus constitutes • weakening drain; the system cannot long withstand the loss of mucus, hence it is that women afflicted with catarrhal affections of the pelvic organs feel tired and languid, with weak back and throbbing brain. A course of Peruna is sure to restore health by cutting off the weakening drain of the daily loss of mncus. An Admirable Tonic. Congressman Mark H. Dunnell, National Hotel, Washington, D. C., writes : *' Your Peruna being used by myself and many of my friends and acquaintances not only as a cure for catarrh but also as an admirable tonic for physical recuperation, I gladly recommend it to all persons re quiring such remedies.''—Mark H. Dunnell. If you.<Jp not derive prompt and satisfac tory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state ihent of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gfatis.

How Convert Was Made A lay delegate to the Episcopal con vention of the Newark diocese which • seemly elected the Rev. Dr. Lines of New Haven as bishop was very zeal ous in advocating the selection of an other candidate. One of those he ap proached objected to his candidate on the ground that he was not sufficient ly strenuous in his methods. “Why. you must be thinking of some one else,” said the laymar. in surprise. ‘ Let me give you an instance of his methods. “When he first took charge of his present parish he was the same fine specimen of physical manhood that you see to-day, but withal displayed a lovely character of gentleness, except when you tried to corner him. There was a worldly minded young man in the town who held several medals von in athletic contests, especially in box ing matches. "The physique of our rector excited the admiration of the champion, and one day in a fit of athletic frenzy he said, meaning no disrespect, but being governed by his ruling passion: “My dear doctor, if you were not a minister I should like to have you put on the gloveB with me. I believe I could knock you out.' “The rector, like most modern preachers in the Episcopal church, is fond of athletics and had stood pretty well up in football at his college. Be sides, he is tolerably broad ecclesias tically. So he said to the young cham pion: ‘“I will make you a proposition. I will put on the gloves with yon for a quiet bout. If you knock me out 1 will agree with your friends that you are the champion. If I knock you out you shall attend church every Sunday, unless hindered, for one year.’ “The young athlete extended his hand on the proposition. He was in a glow about it. not so much because he was sure he would win as he was an admirer of the rector's physique. “I don't know where the contest took place. I could not swear that it ever did take place. But very soon after the incident I have mentioned that younv^athlete becam t a regular attendant in our church. Then he w as confirmed, and. of course, is now a full-fledged churchman. All inside of a year. "And while he is fond of hunting, fishing and cross-country running, etc., he never speaks of boxing any more. But he is the best churchman in the parish. I think the rector knocked it out of him. Don't you think that a preacher who could do that 1b strenuous enough to be a bishop?" The delegate whose support was be ing solicited replied that he was in favor of type of man for bishop, and he pledged his vote then and there. The vote was not delivered, however, for the rector refused to be a candi date before the convention. The lay man who tells the story added: "That's the sort of preachers the church needs to-day—preachers who can knock a man into the church if it can't be done in any other way."— New York Sun. How the Pelican Feeds. Charles F. Holder, the naturalist, de scribing a pet pelican which he form erly owned in Florida, says: "I can not recall that the pelican ever re fused food. After the most impossible feeding it had the same dejected, half-starved attitude and the same asthmatic cry for more. It was only after many months that 1 discovered that the pelican can never be satis fied.” He thus describes the fishing exploits of these birds: “In feeding they generally flew twenty to thirty feet above the water with rapid mo tion of the powerful wings, holding the head slightly upon one side that they might observe the schools of sar dines. When the latter were sighted they would plunge blindly downward, opening the mouth widely just before they reach the water*endeavoring in this clumsy manner to catch the fish, which, not being able to see upward, were entirely ignorant of the nearness of danger. Rising after the plunge the pelican invariably wags his diminu tive tail—a self-congratulatory act which confirms the bird's stupidity, for the chances are one to five that it has caught nothing. The bills are held upward, the water allowed to run out of the enormous pouch, and then if any game has been caught, the pelican tosses its beak upward, which throws the fish forward or toward the point of the beak, where it is often held a few seconds, from here being dropped, as it were, into the threat, which is a very small orifice in a veritable waste of pouch. At this moment, perhaps, a laughing gull robs the pelican. Some times it alights on its back, again on its head, and the stupid bird makes no resistance, the gull often uttering its victorious ‘ha-ha!’ In advance. Just as the fish is thrown to the tip of tho beak and protrudes from the side tho laughing gull lean3 forward, snatches it and rises aloft—to, in turn, be fol lowed by the swift man-of-war bird. In this simple way a pelican will bo robbed by successive birds and will swallow but a small percentage o» what it catches, which possibly ex plains why it is always hungry.” Made Fitz’s Head Swim. "The worst two minutes I ever had in the ring," said "l^anky Bob” Fitz simmons to an admiring acquaintance the other day, "was with Peter Maher in New Orleans in 1892. 1 guess I got a little careless and let him punch me on the head.” Fitz's head fits a 6% hat. "It seemed like a trip hammer had struck me. My head buzzed and swam and got light. My brains didn't work. I didn’t seem to know what to do. I was on my feet all right, but I had lost all sense of generalship. The only thing I did ^was to jab at Maher with my left rwhlle I struggled to pull my addled ^brains to their senses. The round was tiearly over when I came to. The first thing 1 realized was that jabbing was Just what Maher needed, so I kept it up through the fight and won in the twelfth round' without striking an other blow.” The second meeting between Fitz and Maher occurred at I^antry, Tex., in 1896. The Cornlshman declared openly that he intended to settle the tight with one blaw. "I have never forgotten that time Maher hit me in the head,” he said, ‘and I'm going to make him Forry he ever did it I’m going to hit him once. He'll lie down when I do it. Listen to what I'm saying. I'm going to hit him once.” After the battle Fritz said to his friends; "I never saw anything like it in the ring in my life. When Maher stood up before me I could see a look of awful fear in his eyes as they saw me put out my left as if I meant to do some Jabbing. His hair almost rose on end. He hadn't got over that awful punishment in four years. My left must have stuck in his craw. He made a swing at my head. I stepped aside, and as his own head went down my right met him on the point of the chin. The floor was his. and he stayed there. I said I’d hit once, and I did.” When One’s Nerve Fails: It is a curious thing, and one that remains a standing puzzle even to those connected with the business all their lives, that tight rope, trapeze and other daring performers who chiefly i work in the open air are tar more li able to sudden nerve failure and to Nstage fright.” if it may be called, than are the fellows who only show their prowess under a roof. Another fnct equally well known is ! that once a woman performer has heard the ringing shouts of an ap plauding public, once she has learned some dangerous feat, she will run risks and quite fearlessly perform tricks that no male in the same line j would dream of. The woman athlete I has not to be urged on; she has to be restained, more often than not. It may be said at once that few among the public know how near death such ; people occasionally are. As illustrating both the farts stated above the writer can never forget see ing a woman tight-rope whose rope had been left too slack. She was per forming at a great height and when she got to a certain distance along the rope, ihe latter sagged so that she could neither advance nor retire. The public knew nothing of the danger till the manager in an agony tried to get two immense, ladders, tied together, up to the rope. But this arrangement fell short, and even if it had not done so, no one would have dared to rest it against the swaying rope. At last the ladders were held boldly upright by strong men till the topmost rung just touched the rope, and then the gallant young fellow ,a sailor, went up while the ladders swayed about as though in a breeze. He snatched the woman on the rope and held her, just as she fainted and dropped the balancing pole. Puzzled by His Ambiguity. "A baby was born to a certain min ister last Saturday morning.” says an Oklahoma paper. “That evening the officers waited on him with $50 in cash. The next morning when the congregation assembled two wags gtood before the church door and one bet the minister would thank the Lord for the money first and the other bet he would thank him for the baby. When the reverend gentleman arose to pray he said: 'Lord, we desire, also to thank thee for this timely suc cor,’ and the boys are yet undecided as to which was the winner."—New York Press.

In one mill at Osaka 26,000 workers are under 15 years of age and operate only 3,700 spindles. In this country 300 persons operate that number. In the Ixiwell mill of 4,000 looms and 122,000 spin dles there are 700 male and 1,500 female operators. In Japan it would require 12,000 pcrsonB to do this work.

A New Headlight. A recent Improvement In railroad locomotive headlights is to send a beam of light vertically from the lo comotive, as well as straight ahead. The column of light, rising vertically from the locomotlce, can be seen from a great distance, even though a hill should Intervene to hide the ordinary headlight and dull the sound of the whistle.

He Is very much beloved by everyone for the faithful ness of his pastoral work. Rev. Mr. Pope has given for publica tion a statement made to him by a German farmer who Is a member of his congregation. The man's name Is George Hoellerer, and he has given Rev. Mr. Pope this letter: "I-ast winter I suffered very much with Rheumatism. I could neither walk nor ride on horseback nor do any farm work. "I took medicine from different doc tors but they did not do me any good. Then I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills pro cured for me by a good friend. After I had taken the first box I felt already a heap better; I was relieved of the pain and could walk and chop wood; and the contraction of my fingers be gan to resolve.
