Senator - ator from South Carolina for two terms , in a letter from Washington , IX C. , writes to the Peruna Medicine Co. , as follows : " / can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and 1 feel very much relieved. If is indeed a wonderful medicine , besides a good tonic. " ATA RRII of the stomach is the cor I rect name for most case ? of dyspep v sia.

It was made from pure oaL bark tanned leather ; is 84 inches Ir width , three-ply in thickness , anc weighs just 2,300 pounds. The belt is 114 feet long ; it took the centers ol the hides of 225 steers to make It , anci each piece of this leather was separate ly stretched before being placed in the belt. A belt of about the same size has 'been running for many years at a spin. ning mill in Ghent. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. a Veteran AVn Saved the Am- patntion of a Limb. B.

The recent Glidden automobile toui from Cleveland to Xew York by waj "of Chicago was planned primarily tx test the qualities of various makes 01 machines so far as touring purpose ; are concerned. In general the result ; were satisfactory , few changes in con struction being deemed necessary. Som < improvements were suggested j v th < experiences of the drivers dirring th < 1,000 mile Journey. But , on the whole it was shown that" there need be no es sentlal. changes in construction of Amer icau automobiles to make them entirety satisfactory for touring purposes. There was another conviction forcec upon the participants. The averag < American country road is poorly con structed. For long stretches the goinj was so wretched that all the pleasun connected with the trip was soon gone An English enthusiast who was in on ( of the cars , and who has covered manj miles touring here and there , deelarec that from Cleveland to Chicago , anc then back to Columbus , there was hard ly any good road found , except foi short distances in Indiana. Where there was a good roadbed the joy Ir riding upon It was modified by the unhappiness - happiness of the experiences before and .after. A notable difference in the method of construction of western roads was observed by those who are familial with the highways in the neighbor hood of New York. The usual custom in the western country in making roads is to scrape the available material into the center of the right of way , the path for the horse being higher than the track for the wheels. In many places It is difficult to pass without a. risk ol overturning. In the case of the auto mobile there is the ever present dan ger of slipping into the ditch. Another kind of road provides for no drainage at all , the track being low er than the adjoining fields. In dry weather such a level road may have advantages. But when a severe rain was experienced the motor tourists found It necessary to make their way through water. The general testimony was against the average highway , and the increas ing company of tourists by automobile are planning to add their Influence to that of other advocates of good roads In trying to Improve conditions. The knowledge that the country roads in America are poor of course is nothing new. People have been considering the problem for years. The roads are far better now than they were a few years ago. There has been steady Improve ment. But there is a long way yet to be traversed before conditions are any where near Ideal. Chicago Tribune. THE WORLD'S LITTLE MEN. Unusual to Find Remarkable Prodigies Among : Them. Don't be ashamed of being small of stature. The finest of brains are often found in the heads of little men. Alex ander , Napoleon , Uladislaug jCubltalis , the pygmy King of Poland ; Characus ( the wisest counselor that was about Saladin , the great conqueror of the East ) ; Marius Maximus , Marcus Tul- Hus , and , to drop down to this day and generation , Alexander H. Stephens , Ste phen A. Douglas , Jay Gould , Samuel Spencer , Senator Knox , Abe Gruber , Phil Sheridan and a host of others all were small men ; yet , as they say in the Bowery , they got there. Alypius of Alexandria , a most excel lent logician and philosopher , was only 1 foot and 5 inches in height. Aaigus- tus Caesar exhibited In his plays one Lucius , who was only twenty-three inches high and weighed seventeen p.ounds ; yet he had a strong tenor voice and could sing like a. nightingale. In the time of Theodosius there was a pygmy In Egypt so small of body that he resembled a partridge ; yet he exer cised all the functions of a man and could sing merrily. He lived to be 22. Julia , niece of Emperor Augustus , had a dwarfish fellow of the name of Cano- pas , to whom she was much devoted. He was twenty-eight inches high. An dromeda , a freed maid of Julia , was of the same -height Just about a hundred years ago , in Wurtemberg , at the nuptials of the Duke of Bavaria , a great pie was set upon the table. On being opened , out stepped a dwarf , armed cap-a-pie , girt with a sword and having a spear in his hand. He walked around the table in a swash-buckler style , sword drawn , and caused the greatest amusement and Interest. There was a little fellow In Italy who was carried around in a parrot's cage and exhibited for money. He was only thirteen Inches high. A Frenchman of , Llmosin , with a formal beard , was also shown In a cage for money. He was about fifteen inches high. At the end of the cage was a little hutch into which he retired. When the house was full -he stepped forth and played a tune on an tnstrument. Going away back without sitting down : Jeffrey Hudson was the wonder of his age. His father was a butcher , stout and. of good height , asd his moth er was a large woman. At the age of 8 he was sixteen inches in height. The Duchess of Buckingham adopted him. She clothed him always in satin. At a royal feast he was served In a cold pie , walking forth in complete armor. Being presented to Queen Henrietta Maria , He afforded her mnch amuse ment The King had a gigantic porter , William Evans. In a mask ball at court Evans hauled out of one pocket a lent ; loaf of bread , and out of the other llt- ble Jeffrey. This dwarf was employed upon a delicate mission to France as ambassador. On his way home he waa captured by a Flemish pirate. His cap tivity is the subject of a poem by Sir William Davenant , entitled "Jeffredos. " He lived to be GO years of age. New York Press. COSMETICS OF OLDEN TIMES. Artificial AitlH in Preserving tbt Complexion Ronses and Dyes. The beauties of the past evidently did not 'believe that the best cosmetics lie in "the merry heart thai inaketh a cheerful countenance , " for they depend ed very largely upon artificial aid in the preservation of the complexion. The Empress Poppeta kept 100 asses to supply her bath of milk , says the Spatula , and always retired with her mask or poultice of bread and milk ' upon her at night. Over this a bladder was drawn to exclude the air. The eye brows of the Roman beauty were tip ped with black to resemble the "ox- eyed Juno ; " they were decorated with paints and sprinkled with perfumes and wore a quantity offalse hair or dyed of their own according to the prevalent style of the time. The Greek lady had a retinue of re tiring maids , who rubbed out the wrin kles and shaded the face with red and white paints , tinted her eyelids and an ointed the face with white of egg and goose grease to protect it against the air and sun. They also had a recipe to turn blue eyes into black. All through the history of famous women we find ideas of the bath as an Improver of the complexion. Isabella of Bavaria had enormous decoctions of chicweed poured into hers ; Queen Eliz abeth bathed in wine ; Mary Queen of Scots in milk ; Italian ladies in warm blood ; Mme. Tallien in crushed straw- bgcries and raspberries poured Into water ; the empress Josephine in milk perfumed with violets , and the beau ties of the eighteenth century used such infusions as bouillon in which veal had been cooked , rosewater and honey , and juice of barley mixed with the yolk of an egg. In the time of Catherine de Medici and her famous daughter , Marguerite of Valois , the face was covered at night with a fine linen cloth dipped in milk , into which slices of lemon and orange , with sugar and alum , had been laid , or into a distillation of snails and lemons ; but the beauties of the court of Charles II. of England went further and ap plied crude quicksilver to t'heir skin so that a new one might come in its place. The Duchess of Newcastle especially recommended this. Nearly all these fashions were derived from Italy , where most extravagant toilet arts ) were practiced. Nothing frightened the beauty. Lucretia Borgia is supposed to have been a brunette , but she dyed her hair any color she pleased. When she went to Ferrara she made her escort halt for days while she applied her cosmetics , and she dyed her hair five times during the journey. In the eighteenth century Lady Co ventry died from the effects of rouge , as did many other women less famous for their beauty. Her Hint. "Has she ever shown any sign as to whether she cares for you or not ? " "She's making It now , I think. " Beware of Red Hair. At Fairmount park yesterday a red- haired girl who stood alone watching the bathers attracted the notice of a rather stout youth who seemed to con sider himself the official "jollier. " After watching 'her ' a few moments he approached preached her. "I ibeg pardon , " he began , "but are you the lighthouse ? " The red-haired girl turned and calm ly surveyed the over plump young man. "No , " she replied. "Are you the roundhouse ? " Then the red-haired girl passed on , but the plump man stood there .with his mouth open until a s'mall 'but ' ob servant boy , who had been near by , shouted : "Stung. " Kansas City Times.

After many years of experimentins the people of the earth had succeeded in es tablishing communication with Mars. But the signals received were utterly unintelligible. Many years more were spent in vain in trying to decipher them. They did not bear the slightest resem blance to any language known on this earth. Efforts tnen were made to communicate with some planet whose learned men could interpret the signals. The only .responses received appeared to be couched in even worse gibberish than the written dialects Of Mars. Finding it Impossible to secure the ser vices of any planet as an interpreter , the effort was abandoned. "Go to Jupiter ! " recklessly signaled the earth and tore down its signal stations.
