PASTOR'S WIFE "i
fcta Suffered for Years and Felt
Her Case Was Hopeless
Cured by Peruna.
. ANNA B. FLEHAUTY , recent
Superintendent of the W. C. T. U.
headquiirtcrs. at Galesburg , 111. , was
' < * ten years one of the leading women
flfcere. Her husband , wheu living , was
fen * president of th'e Nebraska Wenleyan
University , at Lincoln , Neb.
In a letter written from 401 Sixtjr-
ereath street , W. , Chicago , 111. , Mrs.
JTiekarty says the following iu regard to
Peruuu :
"Having lived a very active life as wife
mad working partner of a busy minister ,
mf health failed me a few years ago. I
teftt nay husband about the same time ,
and gradually I seemed to lose health
ftd spirit. My daughter is a confirmed
Invalid , and we both felt great need of
* Invigorator.
. "One of my neighbors advised me to
try Peruna. A bottle was Immediately
ttcuredanda great change took place
ta my daughter's as well as In my own
health. Our appetites Improved very
grcatfy , the digestion seemed much
Mclpcd , and restful sleep soon Improved
as , so that we seemed like new women.
' / would not be without Peruna for
itn times Its cost" Mrs. Anna B.
Fleharty.
What used to be called female diseases
fey the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. It has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
V f > elvic organs are the cause of most cases
f female diseate.
Dr. Hartnian was among the first of
America's great physicians to make this
Discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women , and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
a woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
ecome the most famous remedy for
ftinale diseases ever known. I u > rj-
where the women are using it and piis
ing it. Peruna is not a palliative sim
ply ; it cures by removing the cause of i
fgmale disease. j
Dr. Hartman has probably cured more
TToraen of female ailments than any
ther living physician. lie makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna.
Mrs. E. L. Brown , 329 Elliott street ,
Memphis. Tenn. , writes :
Mrs. Jacob Spooner , of Kerr's Cor
ners , N. Y. , during the absence of
her son and husband , went into a
arn crib. The door closed with a
ipring lock , making nor a prisoner.
When the son and husband returned ,
late in the evening , they found her
froeen to death.
Most of the jewelers in the Philip
pines are women , and they arje very
expert in their art.

It is proposed to stimulate promo-
tiou in the German army by reduc
ing the period of service required to
authorize the retirement of an officer
from forty years to thirty-seven
years , and a bill for this purpose has
been presented to the secretary of
the military authorities. The retir
ing allowance is to be increased so as
to make the small pension granted
three fifths of the full pay.

DEADLY SUBMARINE BOATS.
To Play Important Part in Naval Op-
erationM in Future.
There Is not the slightest doubt that.
In future warfare on the seas , subma
rine boats will play a very prominent
part. In the system of naval tactics
which has been evolved by humlrala
of years of sea fighting , these small ,
inconspicuous boats will bring about
changes which will be almost revolu
tionary. The blockading of ports , as
practiced under our present system ,
will be well-nigh impossible. The im
mensely wealthy sea coast cities ,
which bare trembled at rumors of war
because of the likelihood that an en
emy would ateal up to their doors and
destroy them , may put aside their
fears. A few submarine boats will be
able to clear any harbor of attacking
ships of war. Against the stealthy and
underhand , but terrifically destructlvo
assault of such a craft , n battleship
can have no defense but flight.
At Santiago , for exnmpl * , our men-
of-war would never have dared tolose
in around the mouth of the harbor ; f
the Spaniard * had ha'd three or roui
vessels like the Holland scurrying
about ami delivering quick and unfore
seen blows from th depths of tho
ocean. A battleship cannot attack one
of these naval sharks , for the very sim
ple reason that it presents no targpt.
Be the lookout ever so vigilant , they
cannot , of course , detect an enemy ap
proaching beneath the surface to : IL
tack from a water ambuscade. No ar
mor plate that has ever been devisod
is as efficient aa a score or more feetj
of w.iter. ;
Ordinary torpedo nets will i vc no
protection against submarine attack ;
'
the assailants will be able to dive un-
der these nets , or send through tht-m
a torpedo which will tear a hole large
enough to enable the boat itself to pass.
I think It Is not putting it too strong ,
says Lewis Nixon in Success , to say
that. In a harbor protected by subma
rine boats , blockading , as practiced un
der the present system , will be a thin- ;
of the past. I believe that It will be
necessary to devise some type of wai
vessel to withstand these boats. What
type this will be no man can yet say.
ASSASSINATION INSURANCE.
Prince Henry of Prussia the Only Man
Who Carries It.
Prince Henry of Prussia , our recent
royal guest , is probably the only per
son in the.world who is insured against
assassination solely. He has an insur
ance of $900,000 on his life which ie
payable in case he is assassinated aud
not otherwise. He took out this singu
lar policy when he sailed for the East
to take over the command of the Ger
man fleet in Chinese waters some years
ago. It was at Prince Henry's depart
ure for this command , it will be re
membered , that his brother , the Kaiser ,
made his celebrated "mailed fist"
speech. This assassination risk upon
Prince Henry's life is held by German
companies and there does not seem tc
be any especial danger of their evei
being called upon to pay it , for Prince
Henry Is a popular person and there
are several lives between him and the
throne.
It would seern as If the Czar of Rus
sia would be the monarch most in need
of a special insurance against assas
sination , but that potentate , while
heavily insured , has no special clause
in his policy regarding assassination.
He is a great believer in life Insurance ,
is the Czar , and , considering the man
ner In which anarchists and nihilists
seek his life , it is no wonder. Within
n week of the birth of his daughter ,
the little Grand Duchess Olga , th
Czar had her life iusurod for ? 2.r 00-
DOO , and his wife , the Czarina , Is Insur
ed for $1,250,000. HP himself carries
an insurance of $4,000.000.
Prince Henry's brother , the Kaiser
carries an insurance of § 3,000,000 , ant
his uncle. King Edward , is insured foi
? 3GOO,000. George Vandervilt is'said
to be insured for $1,000.000 , and "Oui
Chauncey , " the bridegroom , for $ GOO-
)00 , while John Corbury of Philadel
phia is said to carry an Insurance of
51.500.000.
Oriain of "Stateroom. "
.Most people who have slept on occur
jteauiers in the tiny boxes that are
jailed "staterooms * ' have wondered
jvhence the magnificent name was de-
ived. A British colonial paper gives
in explanation of what we have uevei
jefore seen explained. On the early
Mississippi steamboats the cabins were
livided by curtains only. But an enter
rising owner built wooden partitions
n his boats , and named the cabins af-
er the various States of the Union.
fhe Innovation proved popular , and
Kissengers coming on board would ask :
'What State nre you putting me in this
rip ? " The derivation of the term is
dausible. But wore there not "state-
ooms" ou passenger vessels before the
lays of steam ?

No Toi tion is so full of drudgery

ral culture a girl may bave bad , if
liorough , it will serve ber as well else-

Health will eome iTith all its olessings to tliose who know the way. and it is mainly a ques
tion of right-living , with all the term implies , but the efforts which strengthen the system ,
the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important , each in a way , while it is
also advantageous to have knowledge of the Lest methods of promoting freedom from unsani
tary conditions. To assist nature , when nature needs assistance , it is all important that the
medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value , and the oue remedy

stipated condition of the system , take Syrup of Figs aud enjoy freedom from the aches and

remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with
ike feeueftcial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty
