Dear Sir At the suggestion of a friend
I was advised to use Peruna for catarrh,
and after using one bottle I began to feel
better in every way. It helped me in
any respects. I was troubled with
colds, coughs, sore throat, etc. but as
soon as I had taken your medicine I
began to improve and soon got welL I
take pleasure in recommending your
great remedy to all who are afflicted
with catarrh. M. II. McCord.

In "Penelope's Irish Experienceo,"
by Kate Douglas Wiggin, the readers
of the Atlantic Monthly will have the
third and alas! the final group of the
delightful Penelope papers. This
charming heroine has always insisted
upon viewing the scenery and customs
and people of Great Britain through
her own honest and sparkling Amer
ican eyes, and her adventures on Irish
turf are as revelatory of the American
temperament as they are true to the
"soil of Ireland. Mrs. Wiggin knows her
Ireland too well to forget a touch ot
Celtic romance, and a pretty love
story develops in connection with our
old friend Salemina. The five divis
Iobs of the book are represented by
'Lcinster. Munster, Ulster, Connaught,
and Royal Meath.

A Tragedy of the Civil War.
Recalling the historic inciacnt clus
tering about South Carolina's execu
tive mansion, .Irs. Thaddeua Horton
writes, in the October Ladies' Home
Journal, of the shocking tragedy that
occurred there to-ard the close of the
war. This was the death of the
daughter of Governor Pickens imme
diately after her marriage to Lieuten
ant Lc Rochelle. "On the afternoon
preceding the evening of the marriage
the northern army began shelling Co
lumbia, but preparations for the wed
ding continued. Finally tha guests
were all assembled and the clergyman
was proceeding with the solemn cere
mony, and had just Joined the right
hanas of the happy pair, when, sudden
ly there was an awful crash, and a ball
from the enemy's cannon penetrated
the mansion and burst in the middle
of the marriage chamber, scattering
its death-dealing missiles in every
direction. There were screams and a
heartrending groan; mirrors crashed;
the house shook; women fainted; and
walls rocked to and fro. When the
first confusion was over it was dis
covered that In all the crowd only one
person was injured, and that was the
bGe herself. She lay partly on the
floor and partly in her lover's arms,
crushed and bleeding, pale but Very
beautiful, her bridal gown drenched
with warm blood and a great cut in
her breast Laying Her on a lounge,
the frant'c bridegroom besought her
by every term of tenderness and en
dearment to allow the ceremony to
proceed, to which she wecitfy gave con
sent, and lying like a crushed flower,
no less white than the camellias of her
bridal bouquet, her breath coming in
short gasps, and the blood flowing
from this great, angry wound, she
murmured 'yes to the clergyman, and
received her husband's first kiss. A
moment more and all was over. She
was laid to rest under the magnolias,
and the heartbroken bridegroom, reck
less with despair, returned to his regi
ment." Women a CoIoaeTa.
A woman, as a general rule, has to
be a very exalted personage indeed to
be given command of a regiment, and
even then the appointment Is usually
a purely honorary one, says the Lon
don Mail. But not always. Some wo
men "colonels" there are who have
actually "seen service."
One of these latter Is the ex-Queen
Marie of Naples, the heroine of the
siege of Gata, the last stronghold in
Italy of the ill-fated Bourbons. Night
and day she was on the ramparts, and
once, at all events, she personally
headed a sortie against the besiegers.
For this she was decorated by the czar
with the Russian Order or St George,
a much-prized emblem of valor,
equivalent to our Victoria Cross. An
other famous woman warrior is Prin
cess Maria, daughter of the late King
Miguel of Portugal, the wife of Don
Alphonse. Donna Maria took an ac
tive part in the last two Carlist ris
ings, accompanied her husband into
action and being placed In command
of large bodies of troops. But these
are exceptions. Our own beloved
queen has never seen a shot fired in
anger, yet she is honorary colonel of
some half a dozen regiments, Includ
ing that corps d'elite of the German
imperial service, the First Prussian
Dragoon Guards. Among the queen's
daughters, one only, the Empress
Frederick, is entitled 4o wear uniform.
She is colonel-in-chief of the Second
Prussian Hussars, and actually rode
at the head of her corps, attired in
full regimentals, on the occasion of its
triumphal entry into Berlin after the
Franco-German war. The empress
is also commander of a regiment of
German Fusileera. The princess of
Wales is chief of a Danish cavalry
crops. The duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
is head of a regiment of Rus
sian dragoons and colonel of a German
"grenadier regiment, while the duch
ess of Connaught is the nominal com
mander of the regiment of infantry
which was formerly captained by her
illustrious father. Prince Frederick
Charles of Prussia. The empress of
Russia Is colonel-ln-chlef of no fewer
than four regiments of Muscovite cav
alry, while her slster-ia-Iaw, the
Grand Duchess Vladimir, is in com
mand of a regiment of infantry of the
line. The Grand Duchess Comstantine.
aunt of the czar, .Is colonel of the Six
teenth regiment of dragoons, and her
daughter, the Grand Duchess Vera,
holds sway over the First regiment
of Russian foot guards. Queen Mar
gherita of Italy, again. Is chief of a
battalion of German mounted troops,,
and two sisters of the kaiser also lead
regiments occasionally on peaceful pa
rades of state. One of these, Char
lotte, the hereditary princess of Saxe
Meiniagen. is chief of the King Fred
erick IIL regiment of grenadiers, and
Princess Adolph of Llpae-Schaumhnrg
If ehjal of the Fifth Wettaaaliaa foot
'rand Duchess Victoria of Hesse ta
chief of the Third Hessian Infantry,
and the Crown Princess Maria of Ron
mania wears a striking uniform as
honorary colonel-ln-chlef of the
Fourth Roumanian Hussars. The
Spanish queen-mother is honorary
chief of no fewer than three cavalry
and five infantry regiments, on be
half of her little son, Alfonso XIII..
and Queen Wilheimina of Holland
rules over a cavalry corps on her own
account.
Finally, although It is not strictly
within the scope of this article, men
tion ought to be made of Queen Olga
of Greece, who is an admiral In the
Russian fleet. Queen QIga was ap
pointed to this high honor by her cou
sin, the czar. Nor is the appointment
so altogether unfitting as it might at
first appear to be, seeing that, like the
late Lady Brassey, her majesty has
passed the examinations and gained
the certificate of a master mariner.
The French Soldier.
The French soldier rises at 5 a. m.,
and. after his first meal, begins his
drill at 5:45. This is followed by gym
nastics or fencing drill. Then comes
theoretical instruction. At 10 a. m. he
gets his second meal, composed of the
national pot-au-feu. At 10:30 a. m.
the companies are paraded and in
spected. -t 5 p. m. comes dinner
time. The men get a savory stew ot
meat and potatoes, and when the cook
belonging to the company is a good
one, the fare often varies. On some
days the soldiers get American tinned
meat (which they call monkey flesh).
This is done, of course, in order to re
new by degrees the provisions which
are always kept in store against a pos
sible war. After dinner, and' after
having cleaned their arms and accou
trements, the men are free to do what
tuey like. They may leave the bar
racks, but must be indoors before 9
p. m., when the roll-call is read. The
canteen is closed at 9:39, and at 10
o'clock all lights must be extinguished.
The French soldier receives a half
penny a day from the state; but in an
army where all classes are found the
rich largely go shares with their poorer
comrades. Mr. Bettelheim says that
the stories told as to the crimes com
mitted in the name of discipline are
quite without foundation. He in
cludes as follows:
"The numerous reforms which have
taken place in the system of promo
tion, and the excellent training of the
military schools, have created in
France a body of officers deeply in
terested in their work, who have
learned to love their profession for its
own sake and not for the advantages
and honors they may obtain from it
As regards the common soldier, he has
not degenerated, and is still, as ever,
alert, quick and debrouillard, to say
nothing of his well-known fighting
qualities. Altogether, I do not see the
slightest reason to believe that the
following appreciation has ceased to
be now as true as it was when written
nine years ago by an eminent English
critic: 'The French army ... is by
universal admission possibly the first
in the world. No competent judge as
serts that it is certainly inferior to any
other.' "Nineteenth Century.
A Gentle Leader.
During the closing weeks of the siege
of Petersburg, Gen. Robert E. Lee'F
headquarters were in a private house
One morning he was standing, with
several members of his staff, under a
large tree, when a heavy shell landed
not far distant "Lieutenant." he said,
"the enemy have evidently got our
range and we had better retire." Of
course nobody would retire until the
chief set the example. The next mo
ment another shell crashed through
the top of the tree above their heads,
and all followed his advice except
himself.
"He stopped and for what do you
suppose?" asked the old confederate
officer who told this story in the At
lanta Constitution. The shells had
knocked down a nest full of young
birds, and when the retreating offi
cers looked back they saw Gen. Lee
pick up the nest and place it carefully
on one of the lower branches of the
tree. Youths Companion.
Few Civil War Geaerala.
Every year the men of the Grand
Army as they gather for their annual
reunions have the fact brought home
to them more clearly that, though
thousands of their comrades survive,
most of the great generals who led
them to victory have already been
mustered out for the last time. The
great soldiers who led the confederacy
are also fast passing away. Only a
handful of them are now left. Death
has demonstrated on both sides of the
great struggles that it still "loves a
shining mark."

TMMa.
At the IlliaoU State Fair taJs year
prises were offered for the largest per
acre yields of corn. The tret prem
ium was Sf and a set of 4-tem hay
scales. The second premium was tiff.
The flrst premium was won by J. H.
Powers of Whiteside county, who pro
duced 205 bushels and 51 pounds of
corn on one acre. The second prem
ium was taken by L. D. Young, whose
prize acre produced 189 bushels and
45 pounds. Below are the statements
by the growers as to the methods used
In producing these crops.
John M. Powers: The variety of corn
used In producing this crop Is thai
known as the Iowa Silver Mine. The
ground had 35 wagon loads ot ma
nure on it In 'the fall of 1899. The
ground was plowed seven inches deep
on the flrst day of May, 1900, and the
corn was planted In drills on the 14th
of the same month. The ground was
narrowed twice before planting and
twice after planting, and it was culti
vated three times with corn plows.
It was also hoed four times, thinned
out and all unproductive stalks re
moved. The dates of gathering were
September' 21 and 22.
e e
L. D. Young: This corn was crown
en the same ground that was used in
raising prize corn in 1899. It was at
the beginning very light blue grass
sod. but was well tiled and had been
in grass about ten years, and was
plowed -out of sod In the spring of
1899. I then put about S5 loads ot
well rotted manure on the land. In
the fall of 1899 I began to prepare for
Ibe second acre to be shown In the
fall of 1900. I put about 28 loads more
of fertility on the land and let It lie
till April, 1900. I then plowed very
deep to kill all bugs and worms, put
ting the soil down about six Inches,
and also turning to the top the fer
tilizer that had been put on in 1899.
I then, after plowing well, used a roll
er to settle the ground and protect
the crop from drouth, which we always
expect in the fall. About the 8th ot
May I worked the acre over with a
disc harrow lightly. Then I planted
the corn, using Salzer's White Cap
corn. I planted the said corn 3 feet
apart in rows one way and about 2
grains every 4 inches In the row. I
kept out ail cut worms. I soon found
the corn was too thick and then thin
ned to one stalk every 4 inches on the
average. I cultivated the corn as
shallow as possible, so as to leave the
surface mellow and hold the moisture
in the ground. I plowed the corn 4
times in all, each time plowing very
lightly and going each time further
from the rows. The stalks were very
strong, but the ears were not so heavy
as I would like. I made many mis
takes in regard to thicknesrV etc

The cutting of pork should be done
with reference to the use for which It
is intended. In the great pork pack
ing establishments, the manner In
which it Is cut and cured has special
reference to the particular markets to
which it is to be sent Sometimes In
hams the hip bone Is removed at the
socket, and sometimes left entire,
while the shank is left long to the
hock joint, or cut close up to the ham.
The shoulder may be cut square back
of the shoulder blade and neck or
trimmed oft rounding at the upper por
tion. The bacon pieces may comprise
the entire side from the ham to the
shoulder, or the flank piece may be
separated from the back piece. The
whole of the ribs are generally taken
out, but sometimes the tips are left in.
Mess pork is the side pork containing
the bone; clear pork is the side meat
containing no bone.
The carcass of a pig is flrst dividea
down the backbone into halves. The
shoulder, numbered 1 in the diagram,
is cut as shown by the lines; number
2 is the ham cut in a circular direc
tion, the bone being sawed through a
short distance from the hip joint or
whirlbone. If this piece of bone Is
removed from the ham, there will be
a vacancy produced in which flies will
be apt to enter and cause trouble; it
is therefore better to let it remain.
The rump piece, 3, to which the tall
Is attached, also 9, and the loin piece 7,
may be salted or used fresh; 4, 5 and
6 make good roasting pieces, or may
be cut up for chops and cutlets; or the
ribs may be taken out, and the whole
side, including 8, may be cured for
bacon or be salted. The lower por
tion, 8, however, makes the best bacon,
being made up of thin, alternate lay
ers of fat and lean; 4, 5 and 6, are
what the packers call "mess" pork,
but when exclusively fat or without
lean meat, is called "clean mess"
pork. When used for bacon, this part
of the carcass is cut in long strips;
such being very convenient for smok
ing; when only salted, to be used am
salt pork, it is cut in pieces most con
venient for packing. The head Should
be split down the face, and the jowls,
or chops, 11, separated. These are
-generally salted and smoked. The re
mainder of the head, with the ears
'and feet together with the trimmings
bf tbe hams, may be boiled and made
Into head cheese; or the feet, legs, ears,
!and snout, may be used as pickled
souse.
Tha Jonathan Apple.
Two weeks ago we published a large
number of communications from cor
respondents of the Farmers' Review
on .the value of the Jonathan apple.
We add three more:
U F. Dintleman, Illinois: This is
still the very foremost apple for lata
fall and early winter. The -tree Is
rather a slow grower. The color Is red
snd the quality of the fruit Is the best
Daniel Shank, Illinois: The quality
of this fruit Is among the best The
tree is long-lived and will bear all the
crowding you want to give it The
tree does not hear soon enough la pay
ing quantities to be profitable.
Benjamin Buckman, - Illinois: I
nave several trees planted in -ISM.
The tree Is rather irregular in growth,
hut Is productive. of very fine, red,
showy apples, above the medium la
size and of the best quality. It does
not keep long enough and drops badly.
The habit among orchardlsts of late
years of picking before maturity aaf
placing in cold storage, will, I taiak.
bring the quality into bad repute and
finally destroy the demand.
In all cases where eggs are to be
used for hatching purposes the hen
that produce the eggs mast not be too
fat. This is a caution to be taken to
heart at this time of year when the
incubators are to be put in operation.
Scientists have made careful Investi
gations of the hatching qualities of
eggs from fat hens and find thesa very
low in vitality. Often they are sterile
and when they do produce chicks the
latter arc often weaklings and soon
die.

- The publication of Mr. Edmund
Clarence Stedman's "American Anthol
ogy' is, perhaps, the mo6t important
purely literary event of the present
publishing season. It is a work upon
which he has been long engaged, and
from the completion of which he has
been for some time held back by ill
health. The publication of the volume
completes the series to which the "Na
ture and Elements of Poetry," "Vic
torian Poets." the "Victorian Anthol
ogy," and the 'Poets of America" be
long. The "American Anthology" con
tains sketches of all American poets,
with representative poems by them,
and Mr. Stedman has written for it a
very careful introduction which is a
bird's-eye view of the wide feld of
American poetical literature. The
publishers, Messrs. Houghton. Mifflin
ft Co.. announce a limited large-paper
edition for September 29. and a regular
trade edition one week later.
