Y., writes: J "Peruna is a fine medicine to take any time of the year, but I have found it espec ially helpful to withstand the wear and tear of the hot weather. I have taken it now for two summers and feel that it has kept my system free from malaria, and also kept me from having that worn-out, dragged out look which so many women have. "I therefore have no hesitancy in saying that I think it is the finest tonic in the world.”—Josephine Morris. Peruna is frequently used as a mitigation of the effects of hot weather. What a bath is to the skin, Peruna is to the mucous membranes. Bathing keeps the skin healthy, Peruna makes the mucous mem branes clean and healthy. With the skin and mucous membranes in good working order, hot weather can be withstood with very little suffering.

That she challenges criticism and actually disarms it is a fact that is quite as well known as that one and one make two. That she is anxiously awaiting an opportunity for mental and intellectu al development cannot be denied by the most skeptical people in tlie land, be they employers or not, if they w ill but take sufficient interest in the mat ter to give it but a superficial glance in passing. It must be admitted by the most prejudiced person that the serving damosei reveals ordinary am bition when she avails herself of every opportunity to practice upon her mistress’ piano or mandolin. Therefore, she should be encour aged to develop her musical talents, in the hope that she may ripen into a fireside genius capable of rendering Epohr and Schumann in such a man ner as to cause her to frown on the policeman and the butcher’s acolyte, and at the same time teach her to put a finer quality of energy into the cen trifugal stroke under which the buck wheat cake leaps into ineffable beauty and the pork and beans sparkle until, to the astronomical mind, they are the very Castor and Pollux of the kitchen. It should be the duty of every member of every woman's club from one end of the country to t lie other to provide a clavier for her cook to practice upon, and to Impress the importance of this move upon all her friends, to the end that the In tellectual side of the pot and kettle Joan of Arc's romantic nature may have an opportunity to develop along intellectual lines. This departure should be followed by a course each In Browning and Emerson. When she ran read and appreciate like a Bostonian the Sage of Con cord's "My Garden” she will slieo the cucumbers with a rarer uniform* ity and skin the potatoes with a finer cense of economy as regards the thick ness of the peelings. She will realize that string beans do not grow upon strings, and that bean poles haven't roots; niso that breakfast food is not. as a rule, predigestod on the vine. When she has learned to find pleas ure in Emerscn and Browning, give her a course in Omar Khayyam, until her haughty spirit reeks with Persian pomp and philosophy and she wakes to the fact, that the policeman is a mere myrmidon, that the afternoon off is a delusion and a snare, and that an attempt to borrow her mistress’ hat, even when successful, is a tri umph, so called, that proves upon an alysis to lie hollower than the hollow cat mockery. Teach her to play moonlight sona tas on the mandolin if you would have your coffee made aright, ami. further more, teach her to appreciate the luminous beauty that will live forever in the rippling gold of Andrea del Sar to, if you would have your liver and bacon dance hand in band In your fancy to the Durian mood of flutes and soft recorders. But in refining her with music and literature, that she may become a cul inary thing of beauty and a joy until her last month is up, and not con tinue to be the mere romantic beast of burden she Is to-day. look to it that you do not let an accordion or a copy of any cook book fall into her incar nadined and freckled hands—New York Times. Czar Guided by Eagle On a glorious spring morning toward the close of May 200 years ago a momentous historic event took place in a very quiet way, with not even a chronicler to describe the de tails. Woodland, water and a cloud less sky formed the framework of the picture, the foreground of which was occupied with a number of boats sailing on the surface of a broad river and manned with warriors, flerce-look ing, oddly dressed and wrangling among themselves in loud tones. They were the famous ‘'Bombardier” regi ment which had achieved feats of prowess a few weeks before during the battle with the Swedes, and their “captain” was the most imposing fig ure of them all, sitting in the prow of a stout vessel ahead of the rest. The weather was bright and bracing, and (lie breeze caused the face of the blue, broad Neva to wrinkle, as it lost itself in the Finnish gulf. The “cap tain” stood with his back to the sea, gazing at the smiling islands in front, which were literally covered with dense forests; indeed, had it not been for the noisy-tongued men on the boats he might have fancied himself in a country theretofore unvisited by man. The whole district, Swedish down to a couple of weeks before, bad recently been taken by the Russian troops. The "captain” now landed on the most pleasantly situated and at tractive of the islands, and, with a few of his officers, was making his way to the center when a curious sound in the air above arrested ilia attention. Looking up be beheld a great eagle flapping its wings noisily, soaring up to a dizzy height and then swiftly des cending to a spot not far from where he stood, lie did not then know that it was a bird tamed by the inon who were wont to load the boats with tim ber, but looked upon its appearance as a good omen for ills undertaking. Seizing a bayonet therefore, he cut out two sods of the turf, placed them one on the other like the beams of a cross, two b( [ sods, exclaimed: “In the name of ' Jesus Christ, let there he a church on this spot, and let its name he those of the chief apostles, Peter and Paul!” And it was ail he had said. The church, with its golden spire, now surmounts tho terrible fortress in which many political prisoners have perished miserably, and the city around it is St. Petersburg, for the "Captain of the Bombardiers” wan Peter the Great. Sufch is the legendary tale of the foundation of tho northern Palmyra, which is said to have been Jotted down by an officer of the corps at the time, and to have been laid in a gold casket, which still lies among the foundations of the fortress. Monarchs of the Sea When the America won the first In ternational yacht race at Cowes, Eng land, fifty two years ago, the world little knew at the time that on a farm at Point Pleasant, Bristol, R. I., two children were playing who would give yachting and rapid navigation generally, an all-round, far reaching impetus such as, in all the wide world, they had never felt before. The elder, John B. Herreslioff, a sandy-haired, blue-eyed, earnest looking boy of ten, although foredoomed to a life of blindness, could tiien see, and had already begun to whittle out pretty toy boats. Only three or four years later he built his first boat for ac tual use, which was considered a marvel of beauty and speed. At fif teen, his eyesight failed him forever, but he would not let anything dis courage him, so he continued to study boats, and to build them, too. The younger, “Nat,” a rather reddish-hair ed, ruddy-faced, roguish toddler of three, at the time of the Cowes con test, was noted chiefly for an irrepres sible Inclination to run away to the shore near by, at every favorable op portunity, and lie down on his back ’.n the sand and kick his heels exult antly in the water. He was found jften asleep in this position by his anxious mother, one chubby hand •lasping a wisp of seaweed, the other full of wet sand, with the rising tide vashlng his bare feet. Whenever he was missing he was first sought for >n the shore, where, if he was awake and saw that his movements were noted, he would generally spend his time in watching passing ships or sailing chips or toy boats. When older grown he attended the primary, intermediate and grammar schools, and, later, the high school, under the princtpalship of Thomas W. Bicknell, now living in f'rovidence, who says he was always well-behaved and studious, only an ordinary pupil in grammar, reading, spelling or his tory, but bright in physical geography, algebra, geometry, and chemistry, and remarkably keen in natural philos ophy, At this time he was tall for his ago, thin, rather slender, some what loosely built, and had a notice able forward Inclination of the head which became more and more pro nounced from a habit he hau of close ly watching rivals In his many boat races, craving his neck in order to see them from under his boom. Mr. Bicknell says that the mother of the young Herreshoffa, although a very busy woman, managed to visit the high school two or three times a week on an average, and encouraged her children, some of whom were blind, in all ways possible. “My mother,” said John B. Herreshoff to the writer, in 1899, “Is eighty-eight, and still enjoys good health. If I have one thing more than another to bo thankful for, It Is for her care In childhood and her sympathy through liie. She is one of the best of mothers, and I feel that I owe her a debt I can never repay." She has since died.—Succer.s. Women Wage Earners.

To commemorate the heroic hot hopeless marges of the French cav alry at the battle of Sedan a monu ment Is to he erected on the spot where the division of General Mar guerite melted away under the fire of tne German infantry and artillery. M. Ernile Guillaume, the sculptor, has undertaken the work and the monu ment will be erected by public sub scription. At the request of General de Galliffet, General Faverot. who was In the last charge, wrote his recol lect lone of it. One would imagine that little or nothing new could be told to the world about the battle of Sedan, but the general gives some details which are noteworthy. Among them there is one episode which es caped the pencils of the painters of battle pictures. When the division of General Marguerite, which rushed upon the Prussian columns, was shat tered and broken by the terrible fire of the needle gun and of the artillery a fragment of it, under General de Galliffet, passed in front of the Prus sian reserves and came close to the Eighty-first Nassau battalion.
