nnd Strool Cur Trnllic Iitlorrupted.
A tcrrinc linll, rnn nnd wind storm
vlblted thlu city yesterday nfternonn
between 3 nnd 4 o'clock. It wan brief
and violent. All the principal streets
were converted Into liver. Hnllroad
ties, tree branches, a ti unit and Hugs
were nmnns the things that llonted
down .'atom nnd Main street. Yes,
huge bowlders and even Hags Ameri
can flags were swept along by the tor
.rent. A good-slzed "Saratoga" packed with
jsundry articles pertaining to a sunt
mer outing floated down Wall street
and was taken In the Wall sheet hotel.
At last accounts tho owner had not
called for It.
Jhen the tall of the shower was
passing millstones about the size of
marbles fell thick nnd fant. Then
Jupiter Pluvlus thiow the reverse
lever, all the weathercocks headed
from northwest to southeast nnd the
storm In nil its fury leturned upon us.
Finally the western wind prevailed and
tho destructive elements passed over
into the happy land of Canaan.
The huge elm In fiont of II. E. May's
meat shop on Lincoln avenue was split
from Crotch 'to roots unci may have to
coma, down, as It seems to be In n con
' dltlon dangerous to the public. A largo
maple was blown down on J. B. Van

stomach felt bloated and I wns constantly weak nnd trembling. I consulted
hevcrnl physicians who treated mc without doing me nny good. I had almost
given up in despair when I heard of Pcru-na. It was about six years ago that
I first took l'e-ru-na. 1 found it nn immediate relief to all my disngrceablo

Fncts Concerning a Large and

From tho Philadelphia Times.
Copra, whlth Is one of the chief pro
ducts of the Philippine Islands, Is the
dried meat of the cocoanut. The In
dustry, whllo comparatively young,
presents some unique features and tho
production of It Is the outgrowth of at
tempts made a few years ago to find
some convenient method of exporting
the sin plus quantity of cocoanut oil
produced In the Islands', Tho earthen
Jars In which the oil arrived at Manila
were too easily broken to be transport
ed with any degree of safety. The
only available nlternatlve was a crudo
form of barrel made In China for the
purpose, but these leaked to profusely
that they gave very poor results. Theso
dllllculttes led to a search for a more
convenient foim In which to export the
product. It was for the mimosa of
supplying thlr need thnt M. Eduard
Vldnl taucht tho nntlves h-w to pre
pare the coconnut In a dry form puch
as Is known on tho market an copra,
basing his process upon somo experl
mfnts which he, together with some
planters In tho province of Mlsamls,
had carried on with considerable suc
cess in the year 1882.

Nervous women arc seldom grace

fcoon lose their case of movement.
Jinny nervous women nre astonished
to find they have catnrrh. Catarrh
penetrates everywhere; Pc-ru-no,
cures It wherever located. It mnlccs
calm nerves and drives out catarrh,
for the nerves control catarrh.
Mrs. C. C. Filler, 135Jf S. Fourth
St., Columbus, 0 writes :
Dr. S. ?. Hartman, Columbus, O.
Dkak Sin: "For ten or fifteen
have grown to a very large volume. In
18S3, 41S plcuts of copra (1 plcul equals
140 pounds) were sent to Europe: In
1881, the exports of this product
amounted to 1,324 plculs: In 185, to
4,783 plculs, and thus by rapid Ftridos It
reached 14,000 tons In 1801 and 34.S10.146
kilos in 18D4, having a value of 2,340,080
piastres (1 piastre equnls 19.3 rents).
Of this amount 15,500,000 gllos went to
France, 8,500,000 kilos to England, 7,
000000 kilos to Spain and the remainder
to Egypt, China and to Singapore In
tratibit. The method of preparing the.
copra Is a comparatively simple one.
When the nut is perfectly ripe It Is cut
Into halves and placed In the sun with
out further preparation. In a few
hours the meat of the nut Is contracted
by the effect of the heat and becomes
detached from tho shell. The mcrsels
of nut kernel nre then collected and ex
posed to tho sun for several day.?, so
that all the water which they contain
may be evaporated, care being exer
cised to guard against moisture and
dew, which would soften the material.
When tho substance becomes brittle It
Is considered ready for the market.
In ordinary times It Is claimed that a
thousand cocoanuts will slve, In tho
province of Vlsayas, about 600 to 700
pounds of copra, but actual experience
hardly bears out these claims, the aver
age being from 420 to 490 nounds per
thousand cocoanuts. The copra Indus
try during Its comparatively short his
tory of fourteen years In the Philip
pines has attained considerable dimen
sions The exports of copra In 1S96 amount
ed to 607,529 plculs and In 1597 to Sll.439

It Is a gratifying sign of the advance
of civilization that In the expected en
gagement with Spain the services of a
very strong and humane society will
be enlisted.
The necessity of taking some steps
to lessen the horrors of war was seen
by the powers so long ago as the Civil
war, and In 1SG3 a conference In. which
a number of celebrated Jurists partici
pated was held at Geneva. The gov
ernment of Switzerland, which, on ac
count of Its absolute freedom from en
tangling alliances, has always been
looked upon as a safe arbiter of In
ternational questions, approved of the
project for an International compact.
On August 22, 1864, what are now known
as "the articles of the Geneva conven
tion" were signed by the representa
tives of France, Prussia, Italy, Spain,
Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden,
Switzerland, Portugal, Wurtemberg,
Baden and Hesse-Darmstadt.
These articles were designed express
ly for "the amelioration of the condi
tion of the wounded of the armies In
the field." They required that the army
which wins the victory must take care
of the wounded among tho enemy. So
patent was the Justlco of the theory
that a soldier who Is disabled from
further combat should be protected
thut In but a short time the other civil
ized powers accepted the conditions of
tho convention. Great Britain, Tur
key, Greece and Mecklenburg-Schwerln
Joined the convention In 1S63. One year
later Austria, Bavaria and Saxony
adopted the merciful policy outlined
at Geneva, and in 1867 Russia Joined
in with the other powers. The confer
ence at Geneva was attended by a
minister of the United States govern
ment, but owing to the presence of
Civil war In his own country ho was
unwlllfng to Join the agreement, al
though the rules laid down by the con
vention were practically followed by
the federal forces until the .close of
the war. In 1881 the International As
sociation of the Red Cross, which
takes its name and Its emblem from
the Swiss flag, made an appeal to
President Arthur to Join the conven
tion, and, with the sanction of the
senate, a treaty was drafted and
signed in the spring of 1882. Already
Red Cross societies had been organ
ized In nearly every European nation,
and the United States society was
formed and Incorporated In 1882, with
Miss Clara Barton as president. Tie
people acting as leaders In the Red
Cross movement comprise some of the
highest sovereigns of the world, Queen
Victoria being at the head of the move
ment In the government of Great Brit
ain. In case of actual hostilities every
hospital corps wearing the red cross
will be exempt from tire, and every
battleship acting In hospital service
and bearing the hame Hag will be Im
mune from attack. By the terms of
the Geneva convention any power
whose officers should direct their fire
upon a red cross will be subject tp the
Immediate and severe condemnation of
all civilized nations.
