Summer catarrh assumes various forms. It produces dyspepsia and bowel complaint. It causes hliloiunese aud diseases of the llwr. It deranges the kidneys and bladder.

I'e ru-na never disappoints. Ad dress Dr. Hartman , Columbus , Ohio , for a free book on summer catarrh. Bismarck's Boomerang. There can be no doubt that the war Indemnity paid by France to Germany after the Six Weeks' War was a boom erang to score tip against Bismarck. The good it did to France Is inestima ble. Prior to the war there was an enormous amount of money locked up in the form of small savings. The ap peal of the government to the people set tliis sum into profitable motion , and to the amazement of the world , France paid off her creditor in less than half the stipulated time. This gave a vast Impulse to business enterprise of all kinds , and since then France has steadily become more wealthy. In Germany the effects were less bene ficial. The huge influx of gold sent up prices with a rush. A mania for specu lation set in , followed by the inevitable crisis. Most serious of all however , was the unexpected discovery of France's strength. Bismarck intended to cripple her forever , but he only re vealed her immense power , and this , of course , necessitated the gigantic military burdens which year by year weigh more heavily upon Germany. An Important Decision. A notable decision was rendered re cently'in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Cali fornia , making permanent an injunction obtained by the California Fig Syrup Company restraining the defendant par ties "from making , usinj or selling any liquid laxative medicine marked with the ime "Syrup of Figi , ' or 'Fig Syrup , ' or : my colorable imitation of the same. " The decision also protects the California Fig Syrup Company against imitation of the/r / wrappers , boxes and symbolical designs used in connection \vith their famous laxa tive. The decision is of the greatest value , not only to manufacturers of proprietary articles , but to the public generally , as it that the valuable affirms reputation ac quired by an article of merit vrill be pro tected by the courts , and tht the party who builds the reputation by extensive and legitimate advertising is entitled to the full fruits : of hi < ? enterprise. Lite nature. "Ralph , when you write to our Harry in Manila don't you say a word about strawberry shortcake. " "Why not ? " "You know very well It might in spire him to mutiny and romp home. " MEALS COST MONEY. Show that ay Ordinary Din ner Costs About $500,000,000. Recently , a man , who is fond of arithmetic , made up his mind that he would find out how much a dinner real ly cost , says the Memphis Commercial Appeal. He first ascertained that the diuner he was eating cost 75 cents , presumably. He contradicted this , and then made out the following statement about the cost of that simple little din ner : The pepper , he said , came from ten thousand miles away. It grew on a little bush about eight feet high , which must have had a growth of at least five years. The pepper was picked green ; it had to be dried in the sun , and this meant employing women. It took one ship and one thousand miles of rail road to bring the pepper to the United States. The flour of which the br ad was made came from Dakota ; some one owned the land , and that meant the,5nvesting of capital , and then he had also to pay wages to workingmen. The flour had to be ground , and the building of the mill , and the plant , or machinery , meant more money invest ed. The millers had to be paid , coop ers had to be paid for making the bar rels. and , of course , the wood of which the barrels were made had to be cut and sawed and shaped , and thfe meant the employing of more men. Then the flour had to be shipped over the rail road and handled again by cartmen be fore it came into the house. The tea on the table came from China and the coffee from South America. The codfish had to be brought from Maine. Men had to be employed to catch the fish ; then other men and women were employed in drying , pack ing and boxing it , and it , too , had to make a long railroad journey. The salt came from the northwestern part of New York State. The spices in the cake came from the Spice Islands , over in the Indian Archipelago. The canned peaches came from California , and they , too , represented the employment of capital and labor. The simple little dinner represented , directly or indirect ly , the employment of 2 > 300,000,000 of capital and 5.000,000 men. Sea Fishes Need. No Protection. While New-Yorkers have organized a club to prevent the destruction of sea- fishing in the vicirUty of the metropolis , it may be timely to call attention to the result of a gigantic experiment on the resources of the sea which the Scotch authorities have been conducting for nearly fifteen years. It had been al leged by commercial interests that the netting of sea fishes by trawling , in the North Sea and up and down the Scotch coast , was destroying all the spawn on the bottom , killing immature fish , and ruining the sea fisheries. A commission built gigantic iuclosures within which sea fishing was forbid den for several years , and the whole of the Scotch waters within the three- mile limit was closed by law against the trawlers in 1SSO. The fisheries board from year to year examined the waters to discover if the fish had be come more abundant' and after a series of experiments , spreading over a num ber of years , they find that there are no more or less fish on the preserved yround than when the trawls were daily dragged across the bottoms of the bay. They.have proved that the balance of nature in the neighboring seas is steadily maintained , and that there is need for no anxiety concerning the continuance of every species of good fish ; that life in the sea is not dependent on what takes place near the shore ; and that it is difficult to de stroy sea fish by mischief done near the coast , as the pelagic eggs are shed in deep water and float in untold millions out to sea. Leslie's Weekly. treltisb Pleaanres. "Willoughby. you seem to prefer golf to bicycling. " "Yes ; you see , If anybody gets liurtal golf it is generally the caddie. " duties to many women seem more important than HOME . No matt r how ill they feel , they drag themselves through the daily tasks and pile up trouble. This is heroic but a penalty has to be paid.A . A woman in New Matamoras , Ohio , MRS. ISABELL BRADriELD , tells in the following letter how she fought with disease of the feminine organs until finally forced to take to her bed. She says : DEAR MRS. PIHKHAM I feel it my duty to write to yon to tell you that I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegatable Com pound and think there Is no medicind in the world 'like it. I suffered for nine years , and sometimes for twel' . e weeks at a time I could not stand on my feet. I had femali troubles of all kinds ; backache , and headache all the time. Seven different doctors treated me. Some said I would have to go to the hospital and have an operation performed. But oh.1 how thankful I am that I did not , that I tried your Vegetable Con > pound instead. I cannot say too much in its praise , nor thank you enough for what ft has done for me. I want you to publish this in all the papers for the good of other sufferers. " The wives and motners of America are given to over work. Let them be wise in time and at the first indication of female trouble write to Mrs. Pink- hani ct LTnn , Mass. , forheradvice. This aivice is promptly given without charge. < The present Mrs. Pinkham's experience in treating female ills is unparalleled ; for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham , and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of hr great busi ness , advising and helping by letter as many 9 * a hundred thousand ailing women during a single 5 \C < r' X SL f& . EVIL OF ANONYMOUS LETTERS. ID you ever get an anonymous letter ? Did you ever write one ? It is a habit that belongs to the verjf young , though older ones have been known to relieve a petty spite in that way. To have a desire to wrMa an anony mous letter that will give pain reveals a cruel nature. The young who have a desire to wreak petty revenge in this way should remember that nothing is worth considering to which you are not willing to append your name , says a writer in the Philadelphia Times. Have the courage to say what you have to say boldly if it really should be said , and have the grace to be ashamed to wreak spite in the dark. The sending of comic valentines is only a form of anonymous letter. If you wish to hold someone up to ridi cule to Ihemselves , you select a valen tine that shows up some fault or weak ness in the most ridiculous manner. You mortify , pain or anger the recip ient in the crudest possible sense , for there is no blow more keen than the blow of self-love. Anonymous com munications are not worthy of consid eration , but they have more than once wrought incalculable injury. 3Ianace a Farm. Miss Sarah Hewit , daughter of New York's former Mayor , manages her father's farm at Riugwood , N. ' J. , where she is known as "the 'squire. " In town she is a society lender. At Ringwood , on the farm , there , is a blacksmith's forge aud bench. To the farmers , hands and employes It is no strange sight to see MISS HE-WITT , "the 'squire , " clothed with a leather apron , raise a horse's hoof , remove an old shoe , pare the hoof mid reset the shoe , or , indeed , fit a new shoe. Miss Hewitt never punishes a horse with a whip , and it is said that many a night she has sat up with a horse that was ill and ministered unto him. To her is due the church , the school , the training shop ; to her influ ences is due the destruction of the wretched , joyless , ill-lighted log cab ins , and in their stead the neat frame houses , with their bright brick chim neys , their sunny windows and the gardens , gay with brilliant sunflowers and joyous scarlet geraniums. Has Her Brother's Courage. Lieut. Hobsou's sister , Miss Annie , proved herself a heroine by the way in which she stuck to the back of a run away horse at Jackson , Miss. Miss Hobson , who was visiting kinsfolk in the vicinity mentioned , had mounted a fl e r y Kentucky thoroughbred for a dash across the country , when the ani mal bolted with the bit between his teeth. The plucky girl stuck to her MISS HOBSON. seat and sawed the reins , while the ani mal turned corners that would have unseated an ordinary horsewoman. The horse , after running several blocks , was finally brought to a stop , with Miss Hobson none the worse for her experience. Street Car Magnate's Wife. Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes , the wife ol the Chicago street car magnate , who has gone to New York to spend his great fortune , Is mistress of one of the finest houses in that city. When be ing built it attract ed much attention because of the $30- 000 bath-room which Mr. Yerkes placed in it for his wife. Mrs. Yerkes' home cost $700,000 , MRS. TEKKES. the ground $300- 000 , furnishings $000,000 , and an art gallery with a collection valued any where from $500,000 to $1,500,000. Are You Jealous ? After marriage jealousy should be striven against just as one battles with fever or any other kind of disease. It creates misunderstandings by the hun dreds ; it chills love , though it is a sign of love , and it makes the unity of thought and feeling that should exist between husband and wife a hollow mockery. It is the wife's part to cure this canker. Women re so delicately sensitive and so wonderfully wise and diplomatic , that without throwing their cards on the table , and thus re- cealing their hand , they can force the came to go any way they will. Jeal ous husbands are very quick to see when their wives really adore them , and them alone , and the woman who is the victimized wife of a jealous man , instead of scorning his weakness , does well to be lenient toward it , and ten der , remembering that her conduct alone is its cure , or , on the other hand , its aggravation. There are wives who argue falsely that wben their husbands cease to be jealous they also cease to love them Avith the passionate fervor of the first few years of married life. Never was there a more absurd mistake. Of a truth , only the woman who has not known the pangs of jealousy would so argue. Jealousy has been known to kill people. It saps the strength and weakens the vitality of the heart So. though it does invariably imply love , it should be quenched by the sufferer and the object of his or her devotion. Love remains ; betcertain of it , and more truly it is love where the green- eyed monster has been killed. May and Her Kijr Boy. The woman in the picture is May Irwin , tlu actress , whose special forte is "coon" songs. The strapping young man next to her is her son. Harry MAY IKWIN. HAr. Y Irwin. Harry has just passed his sev enteenth year , and as a birthday pres ent received an appointment to .the United States naval academy in An napolis. Miss Irwin worked hard to secure the appointment for her son. Clcanine Jewelry. Gold jewelry may be cleaned by washing it in a lather of warm soap suds , to which a few drops of sal volatile tile have been added. This imparts brilliance , and the articles should then be dried with a soft cloth and rubbed with a chamois leather. Silver jewelry should also be washed in a little warm soapy water. It may then be polished with a very little of the best whiting or hartshorn powder and finished off with a soft leather. Maltese silver ornaments of filigre work do not require a powder to be used ; they should be brushed with a small brush and soapy water , dried carefuly and rubbed with a soft leather. After gold jewelry has been cleaned , it should be placed in a bag of boxwood sawdust , to be procured from a jewel er's ; shake and rub the ornaments thor oughly in the dust , and they will look beautifully bright and clean when taken out. Chains and necklets may be treated in this way. Advice for Worryinc Women. It is trite advice to tell women to take every day as It comes , to avoid remorse over what is done , ami fore bodings over what is to come , but it is no less valuable advice. Nervous pros tration is seldom tiie result -of present trouble or work , but of Avork and trou ble anticipated. Mental exhaustion comes to those Avho look ahead and climb mountains before they arrive at them , says the New York Magazine of Sanitation and Hygiene. Resolutely build a Avail about to-day , and live Avithin the enclosure ; the past may have been hard , sad or Avrong it is over. The future may be like the past , but the woman Avho Avorries about it may not live to meet it if she does she Avill bear it. The only thing with Avhich she should concern herself is to-day , its sunshine , its air , its friends , its frolics , its wholesome work , and , perhaps , its necessary ser row. Remotlelins : Hints. A waist of black or dark satin , silk or wool which has grown too small may be made over into a pretty peas ant's bodice by cutting it low , square both frpnt and back , Avith just a strap over the shoulders and no sleeves. It should not meet in front by three inch es at the top , running to a point at the waist line , and it should fasten with a black silver lacer. Wear a white waist and sleeves of thin stuff under the bodice ice , and the Avhole , when worn with the black skirt to match it , makes a piquant , pretty effect. A princess may be made fresher look ing by adding a panel in the back from the hem to the collar. The panel slopes a trifle narrower at the Avaist , and is crossed its entire length by a lacing of cord to match the dress. In remodeling a sleeve too long , al ways shorten at the waist after the top is fitted , else you may get the el bow out of place. The skirt must never be shortened from the top , lest you throw "the gored seams and darts out of place , but first finish about the hips and .belt and then trim what is no + needed from the bottom. For Old I ace. Tery fine old lace can be beautifully cleaned by being sewed in a clean piece of linen and laid all night'in salad oil. Next day boil it in a large pan of soapy water for a quarter of an hour and rinse in several waters. Dip into su gared water nnd pin on to a strained cloth to dry. Commercial Advertiser. Cnrions Christian Nnme. In the Canterbury Diocesan Gazette there is nn interesting and authentic record of the use of the Acts of the Apostles as a Christian name. The en tries are in the registers of Boughton- under-BIean. Actsapostle , son of Thomas and Elizabeth Pegden , from Dunkirk , was baptized Aug. 2 , 1795 , and the burial of this Actsapostle Peg- den , aged 70. j'ears , took place Nov. 14 , 1SG3. The name seems to have been abbreviated to Actsy , for the vicar of Boughton has heard a parishioner speak of her uncle Actsy Pegden. Again , Acts of the Apostles , son of Richard and Phoebe Kennett , was bap tized at Boughton church April , 1S33. A Few Timely Pointers. The up-to-date farmer has learned the wisdom of doing his own thinking , nnd in selecting a binder or mower to weigh carefully the actual points of superiority and to aroid mere "talking" or "selling" points. The "life" of a machine depends largely on its main frame , which should be solid enough to outwear the Avorking parts and yet not heaTy enough to tear itself to pieces through its own inertia. The Deering Ideal Binder has a high- carbon steel frame , hot-riveted at the joints. This machine has stood the most severe tests ever put on a hinder. It has a cutting apparatus that will cut any crop that grows ; elevators that Avill elevate anything it cuts : a simple reel with great er range of adjustment than any othei. operated with a single lever ; the famous Deering Knotter and Binder which nerer misses ; the only bundle carrier worthy of the name : and finally Deering Roller and Bail Bearings , making it the lightest draft binder tnat ever cut a swath.
