A Great Man’s Cowardice.
Tho late Earl of Beaconsfield was
gifted with any amount of moral and
political courage, but he was an ab
ject coward physically. When he w.ts
still plain Mr. Disraeli his wife once
said ot him: “Benjamin is the great
est coward I ever saw. Why, do you
know I always have to pull the string
of his shower bath”’’ And 'he great
man was fain to confess that this was
actually the case.
The Romance of Anthracite.
The anthracite trade began wlrh an
output of 1,905 tons in twelve months.
It has grown to 70,000,000 tons annu
ally. In 1803 the city of Philadelphia
bought. 100 tons of anthracite for use
In the pumping works, but the engi
neers, not knowing how to burn It,
broke It up to gravel the walks in the
yards. In 1814 two arkloads were
eoid at the falls of the Scuylklll for
f21 a ton. A morning was wasted in
futile attempts to burn this coal, ami
at noon the employer and his work
men, discouraged at their ill luck,
shut up the furnace and went h> din
ner. On their return they were as
tonished to find a roaring Are, the
furnace doorB red hot and the fur
nace Itself in danger of melting. From
that, day dates the successful use of
anthracite in America.
Reads Like a Miracle.
Frlarspolnt, Miss., Nov. 30.—The
Rutter case still continues to be the
talk of the town. Mr. G. L Butler, the
father of the little boy, says:
“The doctor said my boy had disease
of the spinal cord, and treated him
for two months, during which he got
worse all the time. Finally the doctor
fold me he did not know what was the
i rouble. The boy would wake up dur
'.rg the night and say that ho was
dying. He would be nervous and trem
bling and would want to run from the
house, saying ho saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
trled-everything else, I read an adver
tisement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills as a
cure for Nervous Troubles. I pur
chased some and used them until he
had taken altogether eight boxes when
he was sound and well with not a sin
gle symptom of the old trouble. This
was some months ago, and I feel sure
that he Is permanently cured We owe
to Dodd’s Kidney Pills all the credit
for his restoration to good health.”
A man Is caught more times ti his

can't interrupt a woman.

1830 Style.
Tho lfitHlora fompadoor.
Cavalier's i'ernke.
The vanity of men used to be evi
dent in the fashion in which they
fixed their hair. Nowadays they have
little variety of coiffure and many
bald heads, while women can wear
their hair high or low, puffed or
smoothed, and everything Is permis
sible except short hair.
The pride of the savage chief is in
his hair. Sometimes, when he tired
of bushy effects au naturel, he dyed
part of his haid one color, and part
another, or he shaved off part and
varnished the rest.
In some tribes the women are not
allowed decorative effects. Their sim
plicity must be a foil to the gorgeous
ness of the other sex. But when they
do begin they are capable of most un
usual styles.
What women have ever taken to
wearing heavy white wigs and perukes
ns did the men at one time, and as
do the English judges of to-day? And
what men have ever reached the beau
tiful simplicity of the little maiden
who binds her hair with ribbon? Tho
pompadour in its extreme form is in
artistic and is now passing. Hair
worn low makes the face youthful and
frames the face naturally and pictur
esquely. For others, the half-high
coiffure adds to the beauty of the
shape of the head.
Hair combed back smoothly gives
severity even to a kindly face; fluffy
hair softens the expression of a hard
face.

NEVER FORGOT HIS MANNERS.
Two Good Stories Told of Major-Gen
eral Plumer.
In the Matabeleland campaign of
1896-97 Colonel, now Major-General,
Plumer, raised and led a battalion of
mounted riflemen, and he used to re
turn to Bulawayo in the evening as
clean and spruce as though he had
just come in from a stroll down Bond
street. As an example of his unvary- !
ing "drawing room manners,” as a (
brother officer once styled them, a j
story is told of him that during the
Matabele campaign hi3 small force
found itself in a very hot corner, and
men were falling rapidly in all direc
tions. Plumer had two machine guns
with him. and these, he considered,
were not doing as well as they might
be. He called up an orderly, there
fore, and said to him: “Will you kind
ly go to Captain Blank (who com
manded (he gunsi and tell him that I
think he might do better if he would
please move his guns a littie further
to the right. Thank you." And then
he calmly went on with his direction
of the fight in the same quiet, easy
manner. Again, he was rather badly
hit while in command of a column
during the recent South African war,
and sent a message to his second in
command to the effect “that, he was
rather badly scratched, and he would
be greatly obliged if Colonel Blank
would take over tin* command of the
force pending further orders."—Men
and Women (London).
Talked with Its Feet.
“Parrots? No, there isn’t a great
demand for parrots any more,” said
the dealer. "A man from Mt. Airy
came in the other day with a fine
looking bird which he said was a good
talker, and sold it to me cheap. I
know the nature of parrots pretty
well, and when this one failed to show
off Its accomplishments I attributed
it to the natural stubbornness of the
bird. But day after day went by, and
it never uttered a sound. All it would
do was to sit on its perch and ges
ticulate with its feet, makitig all sorts
of fantastic motions with its toes.
Alstut a week later the man who sold
it to me came in. 1 thought you said
that parrot you sold me was a good
talker,’ 1 said. 'It hasn't shown any
evidence of it. Ail it does is to sit
and wriggle Its toes.’ 'That's all
right.,’ said the Mt. Airy man, ‘it was
raised in the deaf and dumb asy
lum:”’

THE IMPORTANCE OF SYSTEM.
Saves Wear and Tear in the Daily
Stress of Life.
A very important thing in all edu
cation Is to make our nervous system
our ally instead of our enemy. It Is
to capitalize our acquisitions and to
live at ease upon the interest of the
fund. For this we must make auto
matic and habitual, as early as pos
sible, as many useful actions as we
can. and guard against growing into
ways that are likely to be disadvan
tageous to us, as we should guard
against the plague.
The more of the details of our daily
life we can hand over to the effortless
custody .of automatonism the more of
our higher powers of mind will be set

FETTERS AS AN ORNAMENT.
Harshness to Siberian Exiles Not Al
ways Prevalent.
T.co Deutsch, a Russian political ex
ile. who lias been permitted to return
to ills home, tells in a recently pub
lished book, “Sixteen Years in Sibe
ria." tales not only of suffering but of
lenient treatment by his jailers. In
Siberian prisons often the harshness
of the discipline was considerably re
laxed. On one occasion, to the vast
amusement o'* the prison authorities,
Deutsch appeared before the governor
with his fetters tied up with a piece
of string, and it appeared he had only
assumed them for the moment. But
the complaisant governor was afraid
of a visit from high quarters. “Then
d' an inspection is made you will he
wearing your fetters?" he asked,
laughing. "Of course,” replied
Deutsch. “You see, I've come to you
in full dress.” pointing to his tied up
chains. On another occasion Deutseli's
bag was stolen. It contained, among
other articles of a convict’s attire, the
indispensable fetters, and he had to
apply for a r.ew pair. “Take care you
don’t lose these!” sc!d the officer, as
Deutsch packed them among liis lug
gage.

THANK PE-RU-NA FOR THEIR
RECOVERY AFTER YEARS OF
SUFFERING.
Miss Muriel Armitage, 36 Greenwood
Ave., Detroit, Mich,, District Organizer
of tho Royal Templars of Temperance,
in a recent letter, says :
" 1 think that a woman naturally
shrinks from making her troubles public,
but restored health has meant so much
to me that I feel for the sake of other
suffering women it is my duty to tell
what Reruna has done for me.
“I suffered for five years with uterine
irregularities, which brought on hysteria
and made me a physical wreck. I tried
doctors from the different schools of
medicine, but without any perceptible
change in my condition. In my despair
1 called on an old nurse, who advised mo
to try Peruna, and promised good re
sclts if I would persist and take it reg
ularly. I thought this was the least I
could do and procured a liottle. I knew
as soon a3 I began taking it that it was
affecting r.-.a differently from anything
I had used before, and so I kept on tak
ing it. 1 kept this up for six months,
and steadily gained strength and health,
and when I had used fifteen bottles I
considered myself entirely cured. I am
a grateful, happy woman to-day.”—
Miss Muriel Armitage.
Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic
organs with the same surety as it cures
catarrh o£ the head. Peruna has be
come renowned as a positive cure for
femalo ailments simply because the ail
ments are mostly due to catarrh. Ca
tarrh is the cause of the trouble.
I’eruna cures the catarrh. The symp^
toms disappear.
Female Weakness is Pelvic
Catarrh.
Always Half Sick are the Women
Who Have Pelvic Catarrh.
Catarrh of any organ, if allowed to pro
gress, will affect the whole body. Catarrh
without nervousness is very rare, but pelvic
catarrh and nervousness go hand in hand.
What is so distressing a sight as a poor
half-sick, nervous woman, suffering from
the many almost unbearable symptoms of
pelvic catarrh f She does not consider her
self ill enough to go to bed, but she is far
from being able to do her work without the
greatest exhaustion. This is a very com
mon sight and is almost always due to pel
vic catarrh.
It is worse than foolish for so many
women to sutler year after year with a dis
ease that can be permanently cured.
1’eruna cures catarrh permanently. Jt
curesold chronic cases as well as a slight
attack, the only ditlerence being in the
length of time that it should be taken to
cilect a cure.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfac
tory results from the use of I’eruna, write
at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state
ment of your case, and he will be pleased
to give you bis valuable advice gratis.
