Lnder date or January 10, 1897, Dr. Hartman received the following let ter: “My wife has been a sufferer from a complication of diseases for the past twenty-five years. Her case has baf fled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years’ standing. She was also passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman—change of life. “In June, 1895, I wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. “About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, tvliich had been of twenty-five years’ stand ing. At times I was almost past going. f commenced to use Peruna according to your instructions and continued its use for about a year, and it has com- , oletely cured me. Your remedies do j nil that you claim for them, and even more.”—John O. Atkinson. In a letter dated January 1, 1900, Mr. Atkinson says, after five years' experience with Peruna: “/ will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna. / am still cured of uttarrh. ’’—John O. Atkinson, Inde- \ pendence, Mo., Box272. 1 Ask your Druggist for a fret Every housekeeper should know j that if they will buy Defiance Cold [ Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because ' each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up In %-pound pack- j ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is frbe from all injurious chem- j icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let ters and figures “16 ozs.” Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. To Make Eyes Darker. Going to bed early will make the eyes deeper in hue.

My son was cured of catarrh oi the larynx by Peruna.”—Mrs. Alla Schwandt. Why Old People are Especially Liable to Systemic Catarrh. When old age comes on, catarrhal diseases comes also. Systemic ca tarrh is almost universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has be come so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that en tirely meets these cases. Nothing but an effective systemic remedy can cure them.

Immigration From Dakota and Adjoin ing States—Major Edwards, United States Consul General at Montreal, Describes the Movement as Due to Scarcity of Land. Montreal, Nov. 1 o.—Major Allison Edwards, United States Consul Gen eral. who returned to-day from a visit to his home at Fargo, North Dakota, said in an interview: “The proper way to describe the manner in which the people of North Dakota are com ing over into Western Canada is to say they are coming over in droves. Among the people there did not seem to be any thought of there being a boundary line' at all. It is simply a question,” added the major, “of there not being any more land in North Dakota and the surrounding States, and the people are flocking to Canada to get good farms. Naturally the number that will come over will in crease all the time, and I may say the people you are getting are the best people in the west. They are well supplied with money and are well acquainted with the conditions under which they will have to work.” The agents of the Canadian Govern ment are prepared to give the fullest information regarding homestead and other lands. Put Blame on Printer*. One of Browning’s remarks is char acteristic. He once said to Dr. Knight “that all the nnintelligibility of ‘Sor dello’ is due to the printers. They j would chan ge my punctuation and not print my < ommas, semicolons, dashes and brackets." World'* Great Men. Great men are the fire pillars in this dark pilgrimage of mankind; they | stand as everlasting witnesses of what has been, prophetic tokens of whet may still be, the revealed, embodied possibilities of human nature.—Car ; lyle. ____ Colors of Varying Warmth.

ARMORED CRUISER TENNESSEE LAUNCHED AT PHILADELPHIA fXJWX WII C/ /.M M3** kT*x>t CBTTKpletsJ rr The armored cruiser Tennessee -was launched Dec. 3, at the yards of Wil liam Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia. The christening party included Gov. Fra zier of Tennessee, and his stafT, Mrs. Frazier and their daughter, Ar.nie Keith Frazier, who was sponsor for the ship. Up to almost the moment when the big warship started down the ways, a drizzle of sleet and rain fell continu ously, but during the actual launching the sun shone through the clouds, the sky again becoming overcast shortly after the ship took the water. Miss Frazier carried a huge bouquet of American Beauty roses to which was attached a bottle of champagne, and as the vessel was about to take its initial dip she struck the prow two resounding blows, at the same time pronouncing the baptismal w ords in a clear voice. Immediately after the launch lunch eon was served in the mould loft. The Tennessee was completed five months ahead of the contract time. Gov. Frazier's party included Mrs. Frazier, Senator and Mrs. E. W. Car Miss Annie K. Frazier, "who christened the battleship Tennessee, is the daughter i of the governor of Tennessee and is noted for her beauty. i | mack, Gen. H. H. Hanna, Gen. J. B. Pound, Gen. L. D. Tyson, Gen. J. H. Hardwick and Gen. R. E. Fort. Science Aiding Agriculture. The achievements of college profes sors in showing an industry of modest standing but fundamental importance | how to enhance its production have reached monumental results. An Iowa professor, by inducing the farmers to make a scientific selection cf seed and teaching them a more careful preparation of the ground, enlarged ! the corn crop of that state by about 100,000,000 bushels. A Maine profess or is showing how, by selection in breeding, hens can be induced to lay | twice as many eggs as the ordinary fowls. Cornell professors are enlarg , ing the old lesson on the increase of milk from cows. A Minnesota teacher has developed a handy and improved ! breed of w heat. A Nebraskan in the same line has outlined a plan of cul i tivation that will secure crops on semi arid land without irrigation.—Pitts burg Dispatch. Celluloid a Menace. The unrestricted sale of articles made of ceiluloid, which is practically guncotton, for any purpose whereby such article is liable to come into contact with fire, should on no ac count be allowed, says the Lancet. We believe there are other dangerous sub stances related to guncotton which go under other names and which are also used for similar purposes and should be likewise banned. It may be that the inflammability of celluloid is some times somewhat counteracted by ad mixture with substances with an op posite tendency, but the difficulty is to distinguish the combustible from the incombustible. At all events some warning should be inscribed on the articles made therewith, and they should be marked “highly inflam mable.” or with some other equally premonitory and protecting device. University Men in Legislature. The Wisconsin legislature that con venes next January will have among its members ten men who hold de grees from the University of Wiscon sin. Graduates of the university, while not preponderating in member ship in the legislature, will have con- I siderable influence in formulating j laws. Of the ten members the senate j has five and the assembly the same i number. This means that 5 per cent j of the senate and 5 per cent of the i assembly are graduates of the Unlver- i sity cf Wisconsin. Fireflies as Jewels. Two or three fireflies placed in the center of a room will shed a soft light : all over it. They are very common I in Havana. Brazil. Venezuela and Mex- ! ico. In those countries at night the i natives aflix the little creatures to j their shoes and thus obtain light to ! see the road aEd frighten away the snakes. Mexican women use them as ; jewels. They tie them In little gauze j bags and put them in their hair or on ! their clothing.—Liverpool (Eng.) Mer- [ cury. DOES AWAY WITH SPECTACLES English Physician Has New Treat ment for Failing Sight. Optimists believe that Dr. Stephen i Smith, surgeon of the eye department | of Battersea Park hospital, Notting ham, England, has discovered a new | treatment of the eye which will prac j tically abolish spectacles. It is styled ! “manipulation of the eye" and is gen | tie and gradual, occupying a few min j utes daily, causing no pain and having^ ! co injurious effect of any sort. Some | cases are cured in a week, and in all • cases improvement is rapid. Thirty patients who had been oblig ed to wear spectacles for a long time have so far been treated by Dr. Smith and. with a single exception, all have discarded glasses and can now read, at either long or short distances, as 1 well as people who have never needed assistance. The cures of myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism are said to be perma nent.—Philadelphia Telegraph. Value of New Ideas. The recognition of the value of a new idea, in regard to a business point, is leading employers to encour age criticisms and suggestions from employes in respect to the details of the business, thus util.zing their micro scopic view rather than depending solely on the bird’s-eye view which is taken by the manager, says Success. A friendly feeling results from this attitude, and the employe takes a deeper interest in his work, develop ing his own capacity and helping the business. To see his idea carried out by his superiors puts new life into him and adds new enthusiasm to .his ef forts. He will w ork harder to develop another point, and so win this appro bation,'than he would for any other compensation. To Learn American Methods. Following the custom of the house of Rothschild of sending its young men abroad to familiarize themselves with business methods of foreign countries, two scions of the Vienna branch of the family of financiers have arrived in this country. They are Baron Alphonse and Baron Louis De Rothschild, son of Baron Albert De Rothschild of Vienna. Baron Al phonse has come to study American banking methods, and during his stay he will complete his education in finance under the direction of August Belmont in the New York banking house of August Belmont & Co. This is said to be the first time that a member of the Rothschild family has been sent to this country to perfect himself in financiering. Governor's Head Not Swelled. B. B. Brooks, just elected governor of Wyoming, is a big ranch owner and a great lover of outdoor sports. In re ply to a letter of congratulations from a friend he says: “If I could hire some decent fellow to take this gov ernorship job off my hands for a couple of years I would do it. Confi dentially, I don't think I ever wanted the job, but some people thought I couldn't get it and I thought I could. When the frills and didos get too thick I will telegraph you and we will sneak off to the ranch and go back into the mountains, put up a tent and I will smoke a corncob pipe again, fry the grouse and make the biscuit and we will lazy around and laugh at the. world as we used to do.” Master of “Hot Air” Frank Russell, secretary of the St. Joseph and Grand Island railroad, with headquarters at St. Joseph, Mo., re ceived a letter recently from a young man who wanted a pass. Before re questing the pass, however, the young man wrote about a page of “hot air” about Mr. Russell, “his good work” and “his bright future.” In answering the note the railroad man said: “Dear Sir: I wish you would give me the ad dress of the man who built your fur nace. We have been thinking of heat ing our right of way between St. Joseph and' Kansas City this winter and I believe the man who furnished your hot air machine could do the work nicely. Inclosed find the pass. You earned it.” Morgan Protects His Photos. Following the lead of John D. Rock efeller, J. P. Morgan has had a photo of his most recent portrait in oil copy righted so that the newspapers throughout the country will not be able to print it. So far as is known Mr. Rockefeller ani Mr. Morgan are the ocly two Americans of the sterner sex who object to having ti-ir pictures reproduced iD f e papers. There are ary number or society women who for bid the photographers to give pictures for publication and some of them have had their photcs copyrighted. Aged and Enthusiastic Hunter. Dr. Stephen Call cf Ingalls, Okla., is about 80 years old, but he spends hfs winters in the woods cccn-hunting. .His friends declare he is the oldest and greatest coon hunter alive. About the “time that coons are ripest" the old doctor arranges his spring wagon, loads it up with grub, gets his hounds together and pulls for the tall timber in the Creek country. He often goes out alone for a hunt in tl^ fall and does not return until the following spring.—Chicago Chronicle. Climate «f California Detect. The climate of the California des ert in midwinter is the finest to be found in the world, bar none. The air is balmy, the days warm and the nights cool enough fsr comfortable sleep. Mosquitoes, fleas and other in sect pests are unknown (savt by the Indians and half breeds, whose society it is not necessary to cultivate), while flies are absolutely a minus quantity on the desert. Description of Persian Sheep. A traveler, giving an account of the Persian sheep in 1798, says: “The tails frequentiy weighed eight or ten pounds, and they have six or eight horns, some of which stood out hori zontally and caused a great deal of bloodshed when the rams engaged with one another. Both the wool and flesh of these sheep were greatly val ued.” _ Largest Sun Dial. There is a large promontory In tho Egean sea, known as Hayon Horoo, which extends 3,000 feet above the level of the water. As the sun swings around the shadow of this mountain touches one by one a circle of islands separated by regular intervals, which act as hour marks. It is the largest sun dial in the world. Mixed Relationship. A man brought up at St. Albans as an incorrigible rogue was proved to have married his aunt. His children are, therefore, his first cousins and he i3 his own uncle. His grandmother and his mother-in law are the same person. Apparently the judge sympa thized with him, for he was dis charged. Much Waste of Coal. A square foot of uncovered pipe, filled with steam at 100 round pres sure, will radiate and dissipate in a year the heat put into 3,716 pounds of steam by the economic combustion of 398 pounds of ct al. Thus ten square feet of bare pipe corresponds approximately to the waste cf two tons of coal per annum. Canton the Paris of China. Canton is the Paris of the far East, the fashion center of that picturesque country of lilies and tea. All the aris tocratic Celestials, in whatever part of the world they may be, still watch that center with eager interest for the decree put forth every year by that capricious authority of southern China. Another Argument fer Good Roads. “Mabel,” said Mrs. Subbubs, stern ly, “when that young man was leav ing you at the gate last evening I heard several sounds like kisses.” “In deed!” replied the girl. “Oh, I know! What you heard was the noise he made pulling his feet- out of the mud as he walked down the path.” Earthquake Source cf Profit. Earthquakes occasionally profit man kind, as in the case of Ouzoun-Ada, a town on the Caspian. The port of the town was visited by an earth quake last year, and since then it has been found open to steamers which could not enter it before, owing to the shallow water. Mystery of Los* Pins. It is calculated that only 1 per cent of the pics manufactured are worn out or broken. The other 99 per cent are lost, but what becomes of them, where they go, and who gets them, or why some of them are not after wards discovered and again put to use are mysteries. COMPLETELY RESTORED. Mrs. P. Brunzel, wife of P. Brunzel, stock dealer, residence 3111 Grand avenue, Everett, Wash., says: “For fif teen years I suf fered with terrible pain in my back.

The letters of Miss Merkley, whose pic ture is printed above, and Miss Claussen, prove beyond question that thousands of cases of inflammation of the ovaries and womb are annually cured by the use of Lydia E.

The doctor said that I had ovarian trouble and ulceration, and advised an operation. I strongly objected to this and decided to try Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound. I soon found that my judgment was correct, and that all the good things said about this medicine were true, and day by day I felt less pain and increased appetite. The ulceration soon healed, and the other complications disappeared and in eleven weeks I was one© more strong and vigorous and perfectly well. “My heartiest thanks are sent to you for the great, good you have done me.*’ — Sincerely yours, >lis>s Margaret Mereeey, 275 Third Milwaukee, Wis. .1 Hiss Claussen Saved from a Surgical Operation. “Dear Mrs. Pinkitam: — It seems to me that all the endorsements that I have read of the value of Lvdia E.
