LECTURE ON DICKENS.
J,nrgo Audience I,ltcn to Dr. Pcnnl
limn nt the High School IIiiIIiMiik.
Dr. James 1'ei.ulninn, of the I'nlvrr
sltv of Pennsylvania, lectured mi "Dic
kens and Ills Works." In th" Wish
Fchool building last evening. Tho lec
ture! was free and n largo numlier of
persons tool; advantage of the oupor
tunltv to bain somothltu- about Hie
j. .pular English novelist. .Much of the
standing room of ilu- auditorium was
(.coupled.
Dr. Pcnftnan ls a young mull of
plcaolng i;Aonallty with . dark lmlr
my cyts and musical voice of rather
deep pitch- -Shortly before he was In
troduced by Professor Hockenberry, the
electric lights disappeared and all the
Illumination the building had, save a
gas light In the corridor, was from
tbe arc lamp in the street. The small
boys grasped the chance of entertain
ing themselves and for n few minutes
lamentable is the fact may be their
"Young Americanism" cropped out In
this form "I think 'Neddy' Connnllv
could a liked that feller It he tried."
"But say.'Kid' McCoy Is the boy what's
train' to do 'cm all. Jest keep your
eye on him."
Some Ingenious youngsters In the
"back row at r. window amused them
selves and a good portion of the audi
ence by throwing ludlcious silhouettes
on the wall until the Incandescent light
was turned on again.
Dr. Pennlman's jpenlng remaiks
dealt with the drama and Its devel
opment and the novel, which, since the
seventeenth century has-with the
drama been a mirror of nature. It
brings us In contact with phase? of
life and character to which we should
be strangers without It. He said the
power of the novel lies In Its faclnatlng
concrete presentation of matters which
arc coldly and abstractly Heated by
the essayist. Few read essays, whllo
many devour novels.
The speaker carried his audience
through .Dickens' career and referred to
his special training for the work he
accomplished and to his woik ns be
ing In a class by itself for the obvious
reason that no other like It has over
been produced. On the whole the lec
tute was entertaining and Instructive.

Everyone cntet tains some supersti
tion, however emphatically he may as
sert to tho contrary. The man who
tells you with line scorn that he hasn't
a grain If It In his composition will
probably refuse to occupy room 13,
choosing almost any other In prefer
ence. In fnct, however much the world
may laugh at women for throwing
spilled snlt over their shoulder, hesi
tating to begin a task or set forth on
a Journey on Friday, or to gaze at the
moon from a left obliquity, men will
bo found to be fully ns superstitious,
although they may tnke more trouble
to conceal their small weaknesses In
this direction. I know n man, a bril
liant lawyer, who carries around a
grimy horsechestnut which looks ns If
It might have been In the pocket of n
small boy during the entire period of
his school days, and yet he turns up
his) Intellectual nose nt the girl who
treasures the left hind foot of a rabbit,
killed at midnight in n southern grave
yard, or the other ono who wears a
four-leaved clover dangling fiom a
long chain nbout her neck.
A prominent Scranton man has been
worried nnd filled with forebodings for
the past month because he vm) so un
lortunnto uh to lose a certain coin,
vnlue three cents, which he lias car
ried for many years. Just what dire
calamity ho fears Is not understood,
but he secretly laments the absence ot
that three-cent piece from his pocket
more than he would the elopement of
a daughter.
The average man does not appear to
regard- the awful possibilities resulting
from seating thirteen people nt table
with as much alarm as does the aver
age woman. Few women will consent
to such an arrangement If by any
means It can be avoided, and all kinds
of subterfuges are adopted to prevent
the fatal omen. Yet n well-known
family In this city dined every day for
some time during the entertainment of
guests wth thirteen around the board..
This was one year ago last summer,
and up to date all are living, oh spe
cial Inquiry is frequently made to as
certain. There Is a charm of which If
known will protect you from the omin
ous thirteen spell, and that Is you must
see to It that no one nt the table sits
with crossed feet during the meal.
Probably the Scranton family men
tioned made regulations to this effect,
which precluded the usual fate 'and
occupied very correct attitudes at the
same time.
...
It may be noticed that men are more
superstitious about hoodoos in Jewels
than are women. Few men wenr opals,
while on the contrary they abound in
that lucky stone, the c.al's eye, al
though, generally speaking, they will
declare that the gem Is worn becn"use
of the solicitude of wife, sweetheart or
sister. A Scranton man of brains nnd
refinement, not to mention good looks,
was heard to declare the other day
that he wouldn't wear nn opal for a
hundred thousand dollars, while the
average representative of femininity
these days will assert that the only ill
luck she considers attached to opals
I" the bad fortune of not being able to
have any.
However, I know one fair and gentle
lady of Intellectual attainments am!
little disposition .to be the victim of
the most trifling superstition, who, in
the shadows of a deepening trouble
fast closing nbout her. hastily gathered
up a rich set of opals and diamonds,
given her not long since by tlip hus
band whose steps seemed now Inevit
ably directed toward the distant coun
try from which he could not ever re
turn to the love and warmth of Home,
and Hew with them to the Jeweler's,
saying; "Here, take them all. I don't
care what you do with them, only never
let me see them again!" Whether the
impending curse wns thus turned aside,
certain it is that for a little longer the
dreaded blow fell not, nnd nt any rate
the opals did not threaten the half
frantic wife from their velvet casket
on her dressing table.
To those who yet hold a degree of
suspicion of the beautiful utono. a ray
of comfort may exlsf In the assurance
that If the opal Is set with emeralds,
olivines, or an odd number of diamonds
In Juxtaposition, the curse Is averted.
"I've been having a struggle with the
?as man," remarked n tired woman
on? day this week. "Vou see, I've had
tin notion for some time that we were
being; swindled, and I learned to lead
the meter. Although as I always for
get what I did with the paper that con
tained the figures last time I clam
bered up to read it, my education in
that line hasn't seemed to be much
advantage as far ns our gas hills go.
Well, I've watched these men who come
to take the meter, and to the best ot
my ability and belief they don't look
at the figures nt ull but strike an siver
fge In some wav known only to' them
selves. When our house was closed up
lest fall for a month our bill was rather
more for that length of time than dur
ing December, when we burned a lot
of gas, so. If that Isn't guss work I
don't know what Is."
"What could you do about If"
queried her friend.
"Do? Why, I was sure I could do
something. Joe said the uns people
were not buncoers and llim.ffammors
and I made up my mind to take mat
ters In my own hands and to down and
talk to them myself. You know men
are such chumps. Now. Joe will !t
anybody chent him foollsh'y. He- sel
dom buys anything for the house that
somebody doesn't put hint oft with an
inferior article. (You ought to see tho
queer waist limn? he b: ought home
the other day.) Well, I can Just tell
you Joo Is mistaken. Tall, about lllm
llammers! A nice-looking youns mun
down In the office of the Scranton Gns
and Water company is a post -graduate
In that art. He was too polite for
anything. Went to tho trouble of get
ting out a lot of big account books
which contained so many figure they
made me dizzy. Then he glibly rattled
off a collection of numbers. Sometimes
they were feet, sometimes they were
dollars and sometimes they were per
cents. By the time he got through my
head was In such a whirl they might
as well have been potatoes. Then ho
got out a lot more books talking all
the whllo as fast as possible, nnd read
off some more figures pluming the
name, ago and previous condition of
servltudo of that meter and Its tally
sheet, and telling how much gas we
have consumed, I believe, for every
month of the pat five or ten years.
Indeed tho company had evidently been
keeping such a close tab on us that I
got scared finally, ns I didn't know
but that the ubiquitous meter man had
incidentally Jotted down the "times he
had caught me scolding tho cook, and
other domestic affairs which I preferred
to liavo unknown to the world. Of
course I thought all'thls meant that
ho waa trying to pxcusq tho company
for carelessness, uo as to be able to
make It seem reasonable to reduce my
bill, but I was su, mixed up that I
didn't bother to count my change, nnd
when I got homo wo found thrtt they
never came down n bit, and 1 contend
that they didn't even take off tho live

company would raise that young man's
salury. He earns 1L"

Abom twelve years ago I was allllct
cd with female trouble. 1 lo-torel
with several sklllttil doctor!, but k-rt
getting worse, until I became b-.taat.
I remained in thl.. condition almost two
years, having had four iihyslclans
tending im-, but got no better. In Dr.
Ilartman'H female book I found a c-as-e
just like mine, nnd cot.cludecl to write
ti. Ilr. llnrtmun for advice. I am
never scary I did so, for I owe my lite
to Dr. Ilurtman and I'e-ru-nn. My
friends ami neighbors never expected
to see me well again, but thank Clod
and Dr. llartman for my locovcry. I
am able to be up and assist In my
household duties. I think my recovery
Is a surprise to every one that knew
me. Jly appetltite was so poor I could
not cat anything scarcely; but now I
can eat anything without pain. My
bowels art- regular; I have no trouble
with them. 1 cannot praise your medl-
rlnHS t-nnuirh.

Chronic Xnsnl Catarrh.
Mr. Oscar Thompson. Toronto, S. D.
I was alllloted for scleral years with'
that dreadful disease knon as chronic
catarrh of the head and nose. After
trying various catarrh cures' without
getting any .ellcf. I began to take I'e-ru-na
with immediate good results. I
had severe pains In the head nnd nose;
I could not be free of a constant desire
to clear the throat of mucus, and my
nose was entirely stopped up. I wns
getting very weak and low-spirited.
After taking a course of l'c.ru-na 1 feel
better than I have for live years nnd
have no symptoms of my former trou
bles remaining. I nm quite able lo do
my usual woik without fatigue. 1 liavo
every reason to believe that my excel
lent health at present Is the direct re
sult ot taking Pe-ru-nn, without which
I should have been ib-ad by this time,
without a doubt.

since then t could not rest day or night.
The best physicians in tho country
could do me no I vIs'Hed the
Mullanpby Hospltt. St. "I.ouls and
received no bcnellt. Tho nttendlt.sr
physician told me I had narrowing of
the outlet of the slomnch, and tho onlv
remedy was to have It cut out, which
I refused to have done. I then visited
a great many mineral, springs, to llnd'
relief, among which wore West Baden,
Ind.; Las Vegas Hot Springs, Ne-v
Mexico; Sweet Springs, Mo., and Moni
tou. Col. I also took a great many dif
ferent kinds of modlclno recommended
for dyspepsia, but found no relief.
Last February I read a testimonial
for IV-ru-na In the Central Baptist
that suited my case, nr-' r '-determined,
nt once to try it. I ha. (akmi two
bottles of I'e-ru-na and four of .Min-a-lln.
and I feel like a new man. None
of my friends believed I would get
well. I would not take any money for
tho good your remedies have done me.
