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

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.
"Now since I have taken six more
boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills I feel
well again and am able to do all the
work on the farm.”
