They often keep secret for
long time the fact that
they are suffering from

But they can't keep the se

hollow eyes, cheeks that
have lost their freshness, and
the irritability which comes
from sorely tried nerves, all
conspire to publish the sto

AMERICAN COAL ABROAD.
Sixty Thousand Tons of It in the
Mediterranean.
Washington, Feb. 23. Sixty thousand
tons of Pocahontas coal are now enter
ing the Mediterranean, In spite of pre
dictions from eminent authorities In
tho United States that It wns Impos
sible for our coal'to compete with Car
diff coal In that market. This ship
ment Is reported by United States Con
sul Skinner at Marseilles. He says
that on account of the excess of freight
charges against American coal he has
never detected that It could compete
evenly for the Mediterranean trudo with
England except under temporary condi
tions such as now exist. However, he
says, we have In our favor a 'steady
decrease In the European coal supply
and a steady Increase in our own pro
duction, and with lower freights, which
might be secured If tho Mediterranean
goods were shipped direct to the Unit
ed States, Instead of through England,
we might hold our share of the trade.
A report from Consul Brunot, at St.
Etlenne, Is to the effect that the strike
of the coal miners there has termin
ated, the miners obtaining recognition
of their federation, nine per cent. In
crease In wages and certain conces
sions regatdlng tho hours of labor.

MATERIALS ARE YIELDING
Will Be Well for the Industries of
the Country Boom Will Result in
Leather Business.
New York, Feb. 23. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to
morrow will say: Prices of materials
are yielding. If not tho best news pos
sible for some speculatots, It Is the
best that could come for the whole
country, since industries could not
long pio3pcr without reaction fiom tho
extteme pi Ices cuused by actual or
supposed scarcity of materials last
ear. Some help comes from new Iron
furnaces that have opened or approach
completion; some from tho famine In
India, which sends hither ship toads of
hides; some fiom tho much Increased
Mocks of sheep, which have weathered
the winter, and some fiom the opening
of new lion works or copper mines.
The causes are many, but the revision
of quotations gives promise of greater
activity in all the chief Industries.'
The great Iron Industry has been em
barrassed for prices were high and
billets were no longer sustained, grad
ually yielding prices of products.
Plates are still weak, as most con
sumers are provided far ahead, but n
Pacific order covers 2,000 tons, and the
Chicago and Northwestern has placed
orders in the east for 5,600 tons for
bridge work. Steel works are full, but
have taken a small contract for ex
port and better business enables th
tin plate works to lesume.
Cheaper hides arfd leather enable
boot and shoe makers to take contracts
for split goods at 2"i tents less than
ptices recently aske'd, and some large
sales have resulted.
At last it is admitted that wool quo
tations, so long held at fully 3 cents
per hundred pounds, are higher than
prices In large actual sales last week.
Failures for the week wore in the
United States 201, against 191 last
year, and 33 in Canada, against 40 last

For tho Babies.
There is no better medicine for the
babies than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt
and effectual cures make It a favorlti
with mothers and small chlldien. It
quickly cures their coughs and colds,
preventing pneumonia or other serious
consequences. It also cures cioup and
has been used In tens of thousands of
cases without a single failure so far as
wo have been able to leain. It not
only cures cioup, but when given as
soon as the croupy cough appears, will
pi event the attack. In cases of whoop
ing cough It Uquelles the tough mucus,
making It easier to expectorate, and
lessens the severity and fiequency of
the paroxysms of coughing, thus de
priving that disease of all dangerous
consequences. For bale by all drug

"It has been my piivllege to ad
vise a number of my friends con
cerning' the best medicine in cases
of a worn out system and a broken
down constitution. Knowing of the
very satisfactory results from the
use of Peruna, I have often advised
it, and am glad 'to speak of the well
deserved praise those who have
tried it have given it. I know of
nothing -better in cases of catarrh of
the stomach and for liver trouble.
It is of superior merit. I gladly en
dorse it."
Many of the charitable and benevo

use Peruna. They do so because they
have learned by experience that it la
a valuable medicine.

gnn to use it and experienced such
