BACKACHE AND DIZZINESS Host of the A Ilmen tr Peculiar to tin Female Sex are Dae to Catarrh of Pelvic Orrans. ..... MRS. M. BRICKNER. ♦ 99 Eleventh Street, { Milwaukee, Wis. f ••A short time ago / found my con dition very serious, I had headaches, pains In the back, and frequent dizzy spells which grew worse every month. I tried two remedies before Peruna, and was discouraged when / took the first dose, but my courage soon returned, la less than two months my health was restored.”—Mrs. M. Brick ner. The reason of so many failures to cure cases similar to the above is the fact that diseases peculiar to the female sex are not commonly recognized as being1 caused by catarrh. Catarrh of one organ is exactly the same as catarrh of any other organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs. Peruna cures these cases simply be cause it cures the catarrh. If you have catarrh write at once to T)r. Hartman, givinga full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, 0. FEMALE TROUBLE NOT RECOGNIZED AS CATARRH. Sometimes you can’t tell, from what she has on. whether it’s a shirt waist or a girl is going to bed.

Home is not a name, nor a form, nor a routine. It is a spirit, a presence, a principle. Material and method will not and cannot make it, says a writer in the Cooking School. It must get Its light and sweetness from those who inhabit it, from flowers and sun shine, from the sympathetic natures which, in their exercise of sympathy, can lay aside the tyranny of the broom and the awful duty of endless scrub bing. Irrigation in Kansas. Great state, Kansas! There is neither a mountain nor a marsh in all her length and breadth of 82,000 sauare miles. One-third of her area is almost a barren steppe, owing to lack of rain. Irrigation will make the dry prairies a veritable “garden of the west.” raise the Kansas corn crop to 300,000,000 bushels and increase her live stock valuation to $180,000,000.— New York Press.

In place of wedding cake in Hol land wedding sweets are given— “bruidzuikers” they are called. They are handed round by children and are served in flower-trimmed baskets. AS EASY Needs Only a Little Thinking. The food of childhood often decides whether one is to grow up well nour ished and healthy or weak and sick ly from improper food. It's just as easy to be one as the other provided we get a proper start. A wise physician like the Denver Doctor who knew about food, can ac complish wonders provided the pa tient is willing to help and will eat only proper food. Speaking of this case the Mother said her little four year old boy was suffering from a peculiar derangement of the stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet became so swollen he couldn’t take a step. “We called a Doctor who said at once we must be very careful as to his diet as improper food was the only cause ef his sickness. Sugar especially, he forbid. “So the Dr. made up a diet and the principal food he prescribed was Grape-Nuts and the boy, who was very fond of sweet things took the Grape Nuts readily without adding any sugar. (Dr. explained that the sweet In Grape-Nuts is not at all Mke cane or beet sugar but is the natural sweet of the grains.) “We saw big improvement inside a few days and now Grape-Nuts are al most his only food and he is once more a healthy, happy, rosy-cheeked youngster with every prospect to grew up into a strong healthy man.” Name give* by Poetum Co., Battle Creek, Midh. The sweet of Grape-Nuts is the Na ture-sweet known as Post Sugar, net digested in the liver like ordinary sugar, but pre-digeeted. Feed the youngsters a bandful of Grape-Nuts when Nature demands sweet and projnpts them to call for sugar. There's a reason. fiet the little book “The Road to JWeMrHle” in eacfcjgkg. To-Day. We shall do so much in the years to come. But what have we done to-day? We shall give out gold in a princely sum. But what did we give to-day? We shall lift the heart and dry the tear. We shall plant a hope in the place of fear. We shall speak with words of love and cheer. But what have we done to-day? We shall be so kind in the after while. But what have we been to-day? We shall bring to each lonely life a snaie. But what have we brought to-day? We shall give to truth a grander birth. And to steadfast faith a deeper worth. We shall feed the hungering souls of earth. But whom have we fed t«*-day? , —Nixon Waterman. Has Its Troubles. The most disconsolate fellow that walks the beach is the hermit crab whose shell has beoome too snug for comfort. If it were his own. as the clam's, it would grow with his growth, and always be a perfect fit; but to the hermit there comes often a “mov ing day,” when a new house must be sought. Discouraging work it is, too. Most of the doors at which he knocks are slammed in his face. A tweak from a larger pineer than his own will often satisfy him that the shell he considers “distinctly possible,” and hopefully ventures to explore, is already occupied by a near but coldly unsympathetic relative. Finding to empty shell of suitable size, the hermit may be driven to ask a brother hermit to vacate in his favor. The proposition is spurned in dignantly, and a fight ensues. The bat tle is the stronger. Often the at tacking party has considerable trou ble in cleaning out the shell, having to pick his adversary out in bits. A periwinkle or a whelk may be attack ed in a like manner by a hermit who :z hard pressed and has taken a fancy to that particular shell. If the house holder be feeble, the conquest is easy. If lusty, he holds the fort. A Water Treadmill. The men who work in the great logging camps in the West and North west, where miler and miles of great l^gs are floated down the rivers to sawmills below, have a peculiar sport. They grow so at home on slip pery, shifting logs rolling and tossing about in the swift current that they 'l r can leap from one to another and ride on them like circus performers while directing their course around a bend or bad place in the river. These “loggers” make a specialty of stand ing on a log and making it roll, first forward, then baofcward, by leaning one way or the other, and standing on the log nearest the direction they wish it to roll. They can even make the log roll through the water like a wheel or hoop rolling over the i ground. Sometime when you are “in swim ming" or bathing find a good sized i log, put it in the water, and try to stand on it. You will be surprised to find hew difficult it is to do this, and the first time you try it the log will probably roll over at once and dump you in the water. But you will very soon get the knack of it, and then j you will find that by standing with your feet on one of the sloping sides ! of the log you can make it turn in that j direction, and by moving your feet just as fast as the log moves you can not only keep your upright position, hut can make the log move through the water. Try it. Origin of Names of Dogs. i There are not many boys or girls, or grown folks, either, for that mat j ter, who know how the breed names of dogs first came into common use. For instance, the spaniel is so-called because the first types of this beauts ' ful and intelligent animal arrived in England from Spain and were called ; Spanish dogs. The beautiful Blenheim spanie! is ramed after Blenheim palace, where this dog first was made fashionable in the time of the great Marlborough. The King Charles, as 'Bight be guess ed, ewes its name to the merry mon | arch. The skye terrier was originally bred ; in the iBle of Skye, and the Scotch ! terrier, of course, in Scotland. Many other dogs show the original , p.ace of their breeding or develop ment by their names, such as the Great Dane, the Newfoundland, Sibe rian bloodhound, and so on. The mastiff means “house-dog,” no doubt because of his great strength : and size and ability to guard the I home. i Poodle means “waddle,” although I these pretty little pets of to-day don't seem to partake of any ancestral clumsiness. ! - A Wingless Bird. Far away on the other side of the world, in New Zealand, there is a most curious species of bird, which i has neither wings nor^a tail. What i do you think of that? There are very few of these strange creatures left, even on ttoeir native island, but tfceir cousins, the Ki-wis, are still numerous m Australia. The ki-wi gets its name from its peculiar cry, which sounds like “W-vrl, Ki-wi.” The learned name of this bird Is apteryx. It has feathers that resem i le coarse hairs, and has a long bill, by which it secures its food easily. It lives on insects and worms, which it catches on the ground in its night ly rambles, for this bird only goes ! abroad at night and hides during the day. In size it is about as large as a goose, the feathers on its head being ; sh®rt, but those on the body increas- ' ing in length. Altogether, it is a eueer-looking creature, and as it has ro little means of defending itself, it 1 falls an easy prey to larger and stronger beasts. Pindertoy. Scissors and a pin only needed. This ! prattling parrot if cut out and fasten- I id together with a pin will make a j very attractive toy. If you push the pin firmly into a cork or tbe end cf a stick and paste the pieces on an old visiting card before the pieces are cut cut, this pindertoy will last longer. A Cat's Revenge. A gentleman ■who was very fond of fishing, and who usually caught a good lot of fish, frequently promised. his next door neighbor to give him part of his catch, but never fulfilled the promise. Tbe cat of the next door neighbor evidently overheard the promise and thought the fisherman ought to be made to keep his word, tor one day when the people of b<?th houses had gone out for a little while she sneaked into the fisherman's house, took two fine large trout he had just caught and laid them on the kitchen table of her own mistress. This lady returning and finding them there, supposed that her neighbor had a: last kept his promise, so she pro ceeded to clean and cook tbe fish for the next meal, thanking him, when su: next saw him for his generosity. The fisherman is now trying to find seme secret method of killing the cat. Butterflies of the Sea. If you visit any of tbe seaside towns south of Cape Cod perhaps you will he so fortunate as to see a flock cf sea butterflies flitting through the blue water on some fair day. You certainly will pick up some of their empty houses on the beach. These shade from pure white, 'hrough buff, lemon, orange and coffee color to dark brown. You can make many pretty souvenirs with them. These “butterflies” are not butter flies at all. however, but are molluscs, Deing nothing more nor less than scallops. The “butterflies” live among the eel grass, and by rapidly opening and shutting the two halves of their shells and thus squirting out the water, they can dart swiftly through the sea. The shells are prettily fringed and each “butterfly” has thirty silvery blue eyes, but with all of ihese he can scarcely see as much as we can with our two. — Ways 6f Eating in China. American boys and girls would find Eome difficulty in eating in China. Each guest is supplied with a bowl and chopsticks, and there are bowls placed in the middle of tbe table con taining food. Every one helps with 1 is own chopsticks, and it is good manners to pick out the most attact ive lookiqg morsels and plant them in your neighbor's bowl. It is rather sus prising to a stranger to find his bow! being filled in this way. Chopsticks are about as thick as a pencil, and both are held in one nan&. The Chinese contrive to pick up their meat, hold it to their mouths, and nib ble at it. But the unskilful will prob ably have the humiliation cf dropping it into their laps or on to the floor. The Slow-Going Clam. Of all the absurd forms of locomo ! tion practiced by the creatures of the 1 deep, the most preposterous is that of the mussel. Squids will startle you by darting backward, crabs hustle off sideways at a lively gait; but nothing rave the dull brain of “some kind of clam critter,-’ pondering over the transportation problem in those re mote epochs when time was no object, could have evolved so stow and cum bersome a method. You may often tee mussels climb up the piles of a wharf toward the high water mark. Notice the black threads attached to the clam. They do the business. The mussel shoots out a spray of gelatin ous stuff in the direction he wants to ! go, and this hardens into those black | threads. He lets go the old ones and climbs up by the new. You can trace Lis progress up the pile by the j bunches of old threads which be i leaves behind at intervals. It has rever been figured out whether he could go a mile is less than a yeai hut it would be safe to back the mus :el in the animals’ “slow race."— Country Life in America. How Old Is He? How old is a boy on his twelfth birthday? Twelve years old, of course, you will answer; but put on your thinking cap, and see if you don’t find that answer wrong. We know that it is the usual way of ex pressing it. as. for example, when we say that a man becomes of age on bis twenty-first birthday, but it is just | as well to be right about these things, and. as a matter of fact, a* man be- ! comes of age on his twenty-second birthday. A boy, therefore, is not twelve, but ; eleven years old on bis Twelfth birth day. ft is simply a matter of count- 1 :ng. His first birthday is the day he is born; Lis second birthday is the j day be is one year old, and so on. until, on his twelfth birthday te is ; eleven years old. the age keeping one year behind the number of the birth day. It would be different if we used the word “anniversary” instead of i birthday,” for the first anniversary ol ihe boy's birth comes one year after that event, the second anniversary j two years after, and so forth. Guessing Colors. If mother bas asked you not to get dirty after you are dressed for a drive, and you do not know just what to do to amuse yourself, get some one to play the following little game with you. It is very simple, but will help j the time to pass pleasantly: “I see a color you don’t see,” says one. ‘‘What color may it be?” asks the other. "It may be pink (cr some color in the rooml,” says the first inquirer. Then begins the questioning. Is it j the paper? The ribbon on your hair? j The pink in the doll’s dress? And so on until happily the guesses mentions ♦he exact article of pink that has been I chosen. The successful guesser then j takes her turn at saying "I see a color that you don’t see.” Timothy Flower Pot. Cork securely the hole in the bot tom of a common clay flower pot and i soak well in water. When the pot has ; absorbed all the moisture tliat it can i take, roll it thoroughly in timothy seed, fill it with water and place among the other house plants. In a j few days the seeds will sprout, and ’.n two or three weeks the pot will be covered with verdure of the most delicate green. The pot must be always full of water. This supplies the moisture necessary to the growth of the seed. When Jumbo Gave a Sneeze. With mere men, a sneeze is an cvery-day affair, but not so with “my lord the elephant,” for it is very rarely indeed that an elephant sneezes, and when he does all the Oriental races consider it a very good omen, and feel cure that seme special good fortune is | about.to happen. The famous Jumbo's sneeze is said to have been like the bursting of a boiler, and it created quite a panic among the crowds of sightseers—peo ple running in all directions, many not knowing what had happened, but im agining some tremendous disaster had occurred. ^AAA/WS/VVVWVWVVWVS THIS BOAT IS A PUZZLE. It is very easy to see by looking at the picture just how this boat is made, tut it is not so easy to tell what it whl do. We will assume that the Fhaft works easily, without friction, ana that a good strong wind blows steadily. Now, what will the boat do/ Will it go forward, backward, ©r stand still? It is not answered as easily as yon may at first think. Who can tell what it will do? Of course, the very easiest way to find out is to make a boat and try it. The only part that might give you any trouble is the propeller, or screw, and you can make one pretty easily. Get a piece ef tin and cat out a circle, or a round piece about six inches in diameter. Now draw a pencil line ; across tbe circle, and another line across the tin at right angles to the fret, so that the circle will be divided into four equal parts. Get a heavy pair of scissors and cut along each of these lines to within half an inch of whe oenter. You may easily bend back the pieces of tin so formed until they have the position shown in the picture. This screw can be nailed to the end of the shaft, or by punching a hole in the center ef the tin you may run the shaft through it and fasten it by copper wire. No mattei what the boat will do, when made it will be well worth the trouble, far tf it should stand still and retuse to go ahead even in a strong wmd, then you will have something which w81 fool every one of youi ir lends and raise many a laugh at their expense. Re»rt&u-i i idl that recently, while playing golf, he had a particu larly silent and stupid looking cad die, who followed close at his heels without saying a word. But since si lence sometimes speakers louder than words, the actor was nervous, and after a particularly had drive he ex- j claimed: “Did you ever see a worse player on these links?” The caddie said nothing. A gtill worse drive from the next called forth the same query, fallowed by the same silence. Finally, “I say, did you ever see a worse player?” The caddie stared si lently for a few moments. “I heard what ye said richt enough,” he at last slowly replied; ‘I’m just think ing.” _ Baron Alphonse Rothschild, the most patriotic of Frenchmen, issued a notice during the Franco-Frussian war that he would present a nanc some sum of money to any Jew'ish soldier in the French army who might capture a German flag. Such a capture was made and in due course the soldier came up for the promised reward. After he had received it Baron Alphonse invited the ooldier into his private room and asked him to relate in detail the glorious epi sode. “Well, Mgr. le Baron, it was this way.” said the hero; “the Ger man soldier who carried the flag was also one of us, so we did it on the joint account.” Last spring Governor Odell met an old friend of his up in Newburg, his home town, and immediately asked how he was getting along on the air ship he had been working on for years. The inventor had became dis gusted with his mechanical progress, and when the governor asked if the machine was a complete success he replied: “Well, not quite yet. I have two things to accomplish ?»efore I can say it is.” “What are they?” asked the governor. “I have to find out how to get my machine up In the air and how' to keep it there.* As there is a law against burying in the city of Albany, the bishop had to have a special act of the legisla ture to be buried in the cathedral. He was successful in having the act pass the lawmakers, but his friends were astounded and worried when they read its text. It btsgan with the usual verbiage. The ending was something like this: “We do grant that Bishop Doane be buried within the precincts of the city of Albany. This act to take effect immediately.” In a littie bayou an old darkey’s flat-bottomed canoe was shelved on a mud bank.
