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.
Bummer catarrh may deraugo the whole
nervous system , when It Is known to the
medical profession as sytcmlc catarrh.
Pe-ru-na Is a specific for all th se forms of
A catarrh. I'e ru-na never disappoints. Ad

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.

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.

duties to many women seem more important than

This is heroic but a penalty has to be

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

of female trouble

hani ct LTnn , Mass. ,

The present Mrs. Pinkham's experience in treating female
ills is unparalleled ; for years she worked side by side with

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.

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
