Somcthlng About tho Old-Tlmo Pro cesi nnd tho Modern. Before the Invention of the gummed envelope, various methods were used for sealing letters. The first seals con sisted of a ring that was affixed to clay or bole, and later to chalk or creta nstatlca, a mixture of pitch, wax and plaster. Tho use of wax did not become gen eral until the Middle Ages. Beeswax, made yellow by time, was the first ma terial used. Then came sealing wax mixed with a white substance. Red wax began with Louis VI., In 1113, and green wax made Its appearance about 1103. In tho thirteenth century, yel low, brown, and blue were added to the other colors; nnd black wa.x Is a rnrlty met with In the seals of the military and religious orders. Among the ancients, ring seals were used not only for scaling letters, but also as small locks were not common for sealing caskets and chests that contnlnod vnluable objects; and they were even used for sealing the doors of houses and apartments. Under the first empire, people began to use wafers, which were brought from Italy by the soldiers nnd officers of the French army. These wafers were cut with a punch out of a thin leaf made of flour. Flnnally gummed envelopes gradu ally began to replace sealing wax and wafers nearly everywhere. The first envelopes, which were manufactured In England, date back to 1810. The ma chine for folding them was Invented In 1843, by Edwin Hill and Warren de la Hue, and In 1849 was so Improved by the latter that It was capable of fold ing and gumming 3,600 envelopes an hour. Since IS.IO the annual production of envelopes has been greatly Increas ing, and there are now being manu factured In Paris alone 1,600,000 dally. a number of twelve contestants at the Allcntown eisteddfod mi the competi tion, "The Watcher," will enter a con test at the Hazloton elsteddfocl In March' on a composition, "Where the Lindens Bloom."

Wapakoncta, O., Fcbanary ii, iSgS. To whom it may concern : The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company of Columbus, is one of Ohio's enterprising industries, employing a large number of workmen under the management of a faculty of skilled practitioners. Dr. S. B. Hartman, its president, a broad-minded man as '.veil as a skilled physician, is one of the leading citizens of the Capital. Pe-rn-na, one of the products of this company, is highly recommended, and has an excellent reputation as a tonic and cure for catarrhal affections. '". C. LAYTON. Catarrh is a mystery. Millions of money and millions of lives have been sacrificed to ignorant treatment of it. That local treat ment of catarrh can still exist is astounding. No local treatment of any kind has ever cured a case of chronic catarrh. If any person alleged to have beeil so treated and cured still lives, his catarrh is presentvith him, though perhaps now called Bright's disease, con sumption, or some vital ill not generally associated with catarrh. Dr. Hartman has removed the mystery surrounding catarrhal dis eases. He cures them. His cures of catarrh arc permanent. Get his latest book: it is mailed free. Catarrh grows in the mucous membrane lining every organ of the body, and can be reached only through the nerves. Pe-ru-na is Dr. Hartman's remedy. It cures catarrh. It cures every phase of catarrh. The action of Pc-ru-na is based on scientific exactness. It has been curing catarrh for forty years and leaving people healthy. ArS I y8L 9 mm Jf would take a enouirh for me Robert Robertson. say almost as well as I ever was. I would not account. Everybody Is astonished to see me people take me for forty years old although May. Robert Robertso.v, Detroit, Mich. ' vV Mr. John F. Schmidt of Carthage, Ohio, was afflicted with a common phase of catarrh, known as nervous dyspepsia. Read his strong letter: pr.Ru.sA druo mfo. Co. DtarSirs. Pe-ru-na has saved my llf. For five years the best doctors had pronounced me Incurable. I suffered with a complication of diseases palpitation of the heart, nervousness, weakness and dyspepsia. A few bottles of Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lln cured me. Pe-ru-na cannot be beaten. I give your medicine to my children for the various little ailments which annoy little ones, and the result is that they are never sick, but aro always strong and healthy. I have Mrs. 1). Martens. Mrs. N. K. Brown of Alexander, N. writing of her troubles and cure, says: Pe.ru-na druo Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs; "Vot several years I was troubled with Indl. gestion, an Increase of acid In the stomach, headache, lost of appetite, dlirinesi, and almost complete paralysis of the left arm. My friends advised me to try Po-ru-na and, after taking one bottle, I could see great improvement in my condition. Four bottles cured me sound and well, and I have not felt a symptom of my troublo since taking Pe-ru-na. I can never praise Pe-ru-na enough. I will ever praise and recommend It," Dr. Hartman eives personal corrcsoondence.
