ADMIRAL SCHLEY ENDORSES PE-RU-NA. Pe=ru~na Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen:—‘7 can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Pe° ru-na and I believe with good effect.9'— W. S. SCHLEY, Washington, D. C. gP A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the gp Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart P of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, un daunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It ap peared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it i9. The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that «o many men of national and international reputation have been willing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result Pcruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements. Address The Pcruna Drug M’f’g Co., Columbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh. 9 Issues Free• The Youth’s Companion THE FAMILY PAPER OF NATIONAL CIRCULATION.

Patton, president of Princeton Theological seminary, has a reputation not only for the excel lency of his sermons, hut for the short notice at which, on occasion, he can prepare them. Some time ago lie was conducting a "question box” at summer school, when he was asked by one of his auditors, “Will you tell me. Dr. Patton, your method of pre paring your sermons? Do you begin early in the week?” "Yes,” said Dr. Pa'.lon, “quite early.” "But,” per sisted the questioner, "how early?” "About C o’clock Sunday mornings.” Costly Dispatch from the Porte. Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister, missed one of the important mess ages from Constantinople which have been sent to him since I he present crisis began. The cable dispatch was directed to him at Washington, was transmitted to New York and thence to Sayville, L. 1.. the minister’s sum mer liome. Chekib Bey having gone to Washington, it was delivered to his secretary, who had to pay $25 for its transmission from Washington alone, the message having been prepaid from Constantinople to Washington. Still Another Case. Franksville, Wls., Oct. 12th.—Many remarkable cures are being reported from all over the country but there Is one right here in Franksville which Is certainly worth publishing, and which has not as yet been given to the public. Mrs. Ixr.ils Markison of this place had been a sick woman for quite a long time and could not find anything to give her any help. She suffered all the painful symptoms of what is gen erally known as female weakness. Every woman who reads her story will understand these distressing con ditions which combine to make the lives of many women one long bur den of weakness and suffering. Mrs. Markison chanced one day to hear of a new remedy called Dodd s Kidney Pills, that was said to be a splendid medicine for women’s weak ness. She determined to try some and soon found herself getting better. She kept on with the pills and was cured. Speaking of her case, Mrs. Markison says:— “I can and do praise Dodd’s Kidney Pills as a remedy for female weakness. They are the best ivtdiclno I have ever known, and have ucn* mo a great deal of good.’’ A married woman is disappointed when she starts away for a two weeks' visit unless her husband looks heart ‘‘Appendlcltls’’ is Barred. The illness of King Edward VII brought to light the fact that the word “appendicitis,’* which Is in gen eral use in this country, is not so common in England. It is, as a mat ter of fact, of American origin, and It is possible that this is the reason wny. it is ignored in the huge “New English Dictionary.’’ Dr. Murray, however, has recently accounted for his decision on the ground that words ending In “ltis” are not English, but Graeco-Latin, and do not come within the scope of an English dictionary, unless, as is the case of “bronchitis,” they are in popular use. In this coun try, at least, one is used as much as the other. British medical experts seem to dislike the word equally, and Sir Frederick Treves, in a recent work, goes out of his way to condemn “appendicitis" and to find equivalents.

Stimulating Growth of Trees. A new method of forcing the growth of trees has lately been put to the test of experiment in the Crimea, sup plying trees with the food necessary for their growth through the trunk, thus dispensing with tlie slow pro cesses of nature, which can only work by means of tlie roots. Saits of iron, either in liquid or solid form, have been introduced by cutting a hole in the stem. An account of these pro ceedings has been recently read be fore the Imperial Botanical society of St. Petersburg. The system has been applied to 800 fruit trees, and photo graphs showed that it had quite ful filled the expectations. Famous Moated House._ The morn which so often surround od halls and castles In the old dry* is now generally dry and fllkd up but some remarkable specimens still remain. Perhaps the finest example of a moated house is Helmingham hall, the seat of Lord Tollemache, in Suffolk, about eight miles from Ips wich. The drawbridge still remains, and it has befti raised every night foi more than 300 years, the ancient pre caution being observed even thougl the need for it has long passed by. The moat which surrounds Leeds cas tle. near Maidstone, is so wide that it may almost be Called a lake. The ancient episcopal palace at. Wells is surrounded by walls which inclose nearly seven acres of ground, and by a moat which is supplied with water from St. Andrews' well. A venerable bridge spans the moat, giving access through a tower gateway in the other court. ORIGIN. Of a Famous Human Food. The siory of great discoveries or in ventions is always of Interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In othei words before he could carry out hie plans he had to find a food that w-ouid carry him along and renew his pbysl cal and ^nental strength. lie knew that a food that was a brain and nerve builder, (rather than a mere fat maker), was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish th* desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape Nuts, the now famous food. Grape Nuts contain the brain and nerve building food elements in ! condition for easy digestion. The re sult of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seen in a marked sturdiness and activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties Without fatigue or exhaustion. The food if in no sense a stimulant b.t is tlmply food which renews and replaces th? daily waste of brain and nerved. Its flavor is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served Instantly with cream. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. V Post, is to be seen on each genuik. package of Crape Nuts. Look in each package for a <jopy of the famous little book, ‘The Load to Weiiviilu.” THOSE HELPFUL BROADWAYS They were on their way home at 2 a. m. As they turned into their own quiet tross town street after leaving the cars Mrs. Broad waj sighed wearily. “Dear me,” she said, "how glad 1 am to get near home once more, but how very lonely It seems around here. I don’t believe there is a soul abroad except ourselves.” Broadway looked sharply up and down the street. “Yes, there is,” ho said. "There is a woman ringing the doorbell at the house across the street. She seems to be having trou ble to got in.” The apparently forlorn condition of the past-midnight prowler touched a sympathetic chord in Mrs. Broadway's bosom. She had been locked out her self on several occasions, and knew how it went. “The poor thing,” she sighed. “Lot’s go over and ask her If we can be of any assistance to her." The wdman on the doorstep gave the bell another push as she saw them approach, then turned and faced them. “I'm In a terrible fix.” she said, helplessly. “I have no key and thin bell seems to bo broken, and I can’t make anybody hear, and 1 don’t know how In the world I am ever going to get In.” Mr. Broadway reached over the atone balustrade to the front window. “I think,” he said, “there may ho a way. I think I may be able to boost you In through the front window. I am sure I can if that window is not latched.” He pressed upward on the rash and the window rose slowly and with a slightly creaking sound. "It Is all right," he said, and pushed still hard er. "Now,” he said, when the apera turo had ussunied proportions com mensurate with the anatomical struc ture of the woman, "If you can bridge the chasm you will be all right." "Oh. 1 can do that easy enough,” said the woman. “I can crawl In, 1 am sure." “Very well," said Broadway, "here goes." i It required considerable reaching and scrambling on the part of the woman and much lifting and balanc ing on the part of Mr. Broadway, but the passage through the window was finally effected and the woman landed on a soft rug inside. ‘ I'm safe," she whispered. ‘ Thanks, ever so much." Then she closed the window. The Broadways hurriedly descended the steps. "What number is thth?" she asked when she reached the street. "Did you notice?" “One hundred and eighteen,” he said Mrs. Broadway was the first, to see the sequel to their samaritanism In the evening paper. “No. 118—118,” she said, wonder ingly. "Why, that is where we helped the woman in through the window last night, wasn’t it, Jasper?” “Yes," said Broadway. “What about it?" “She—she lied," panted Mr3. Broad way. “She made that up about living In the house. Nobody lives there— that Is. nobody was home last night. Everybody is away in the country. Even the servant in charge happened to he away last night and that wom an knew it. She—she was a thief. She must have had accomplices. A little woman like her could never have got away with all the stuff the papers say she took. It all comes of your lifting her in through the window. The idea of a man of your age lifting a strange woman, anyway! I didn't approve of it at the time, hut I didn't like to say anything; you are always so apt to accuse me of being jealous every time I open my head about such things. But she certainly was smooth." Broadway read the account of the robbery gravely. "We'll be in luck." he said, “if the authorities do not light on us as her accomplices." Work Way Tli The quality of ambition that led Abraham Lincoln to clone a day o' hard manual labor with poring over a book by the light of a pine knot is not known to the present generation. Scores of young men and women are to-day repeating Lincoln’s heroism in forms adapted to the demands of mod ern life. Brain and sinew are being turned to account to yield, beyond liv ing expenses, a surplus sufficient to afford educational advantages. Abundant examples of this spirit are furnished by tho Middle West. Visions of round dollars finding their way Into his pockets us a result of mowing lawns or currying horses have lured many a young feliow from the farm and from the miscellaneous occu pations In a small town to the pursuit of knowledge. Ample illustration of such a move ment may be had from the statistics of earnings of students in the Aca demy of Northwestern University at Evanston, Illinois, during the last year. The Academy registers 485 of the 1,800 students on the Evanston campus, and of the 485, 65 per cent have earned money, much or little, from September to June, amounting in the aggregate to more than $12,000. This Sum la exclusive of the summer occupations, common to students, through which money enough Is often accumulated to pay a large share of the next year’s expenses. The $12,000 represents In some cases small amounts from irregular employments such as clerical work, which enables the student to spend on concert tickets and general pleasure a dollar here and a dollar there that the home allowance will not cover. By many a young man, however, his share of the $12,000 has been expended on the necessities of life. Raking out furnaces and build ing up the fires before daylight, on winter mornings has meant lodgings for more than one young fellow with a thirst for knowledge, while meals in a rough College. students’ eluh have been paid for wltli shoveling snow or washing dishes. Prospective lawyers and doctors and preachers are at present learning preparation for future careers by de veloping business in butter and eggs shipped In from the 'home farm, or by working up a trade in coffee and spices (a popular business enterprise), or by assisting in laundry manage ment. others run boarding clubs, or clerk in stores, deliver dally papers, collect bills or read gas meters. Somo young men reach college equipped with a trade and can serve as bar bers, cobblers, or carpenters. Not a few take stenographic notes and run typewriters, or report for Chicago newspapers the impossible happenings of student, liie. Many pulpits within a radius of sixty miles of Chicago are regularly filled by preachers who at tend recitations on the campus from Monday to Friday and go to their charges for fcaturday and Sunday. Uncle Sam’s life saving crew, housed on the edge of the campus, gives em ployment to a group of able-bodied stu dents. and pays them a good salary for faithful service. In fact there is scarcely any field of employment nec essary to modern life which lias not been Invaded by ambitious students, provided it is of the sort that will leave a margin of time for study. The path of the student who works ills way is not strewn with roses, and the career of such n young man cails for genuine heroism. The time given lo earning money must, of course, b» subtracted from the total sum of work ing hours, and only the remainder iw available for study. Consequently the number of years given to the course must be lengthened or else the wage earning student finds himself at a dis® advantage beside the student who hr®® no responsibility outside his boowa* However, this disadvantage is ir.dike small number of eases offset by er sincerity and earnestnes^ven Cres part of the poorer student. e jn 1:59^ The Cedars of Lebanon.: “There are only about four hundred of the Cedars of Lebanon left,” says Lewis Gaston Leary in Scribner's. “High up on the rocky slopes, Hadrian sculptured his impel ial anathema against all who shouid cut these sacred trees. The Maronite peasants almost w'orship them, and call them the ‘Cedars of the Lord’; and a recent governor of the Lebanon has sur rounded them by a great wall so that the young shoots may not be injured by roving animals. Yet century by century, their number grows less. “But if the cedars arc few in num ber, these few are of royal blood. They are not the largest of trees, though some of the trunks measure over forty feet around. Their beauty lies in the wide spreading limbs, which often cover a circle two or three hundred feet in circumference. Some are tall and symmetrical, with beautiful hori zontal branches; others are gnarled and knotted w ith inviting seats in »ho great forks, and charming beds on the thlfk fc::..ge of the swinging boughs. “The wood has a swce hard, and seldom decaj ity of the cedar Is rema tree is never seen, exce.1 nlng or the ax has been a great bough of one t into a neighbor, and a. oounn togemer mat to say which is the ^ haps the unusual &a 'M the cedars are growth.
