MAKING $100 A MXwTJTE.
An Incident in the Career of Nor-
dlca the Singer,
l'rom the Saturday livening Post.
The largest sum for the briefest ser
vice recently received by the most lib
erally paid of all professionals, the
prima donna, was given Madame Nor
dlca on the occasion of her appearance
In a concert at the Metropolitan Opera
house, New York, several weeks ago.
For two songs which required five
minutes each to sing she received
?1,000, or nt the rate of $100 a minute.
The songs were Grieg's Swan und a
Serenade by Richard Strauss. The oc
casion was the tlrst American appear
ance of Herr von Schurch. conductor
of the Royal Opera, Dresden.
Madame Nordlca, among the soloists
originally announced, was taken sud
denly ill during a performance of
Tristan and Isolde at the Metropolitan
the Saturday previous to the concert.
With her customary pluck she finished
the performance, hut was obliged to
take to her bed as soon as 'it was end
ed. There sho was forced to remain
until Thursday, when it was time to
dress for the concert. She uppearcd
nt the Metropolitan on time, sang her
two songs and was persistently recalled
for an encore. Her strength not being
equal to a response she bowed her ap
preciation and finally took Madame
Paul's method of positive refusal by
returning to the stage with her car
riage cloak about her shoulders. Once
home she found she had no alternative
but to return to the bed .she had left
to sing. But In the shortMlme of her
absence, in addition to keening faith
with tlie publlc-and adding to the bril
liance of- the concert, she had received
51,000 for ten minutes' actual work.
For her- first concert engagement,
Madame Nordlca, then a girl of six
teen, received ten dollars. Now In the
zenith of her powers the largest sum
received by Madame Nordlca for a sin
gle concert was $1,700. This latest
achievement ot $1,000 for ten minutes
eclipses even that.
A PLAGUE OF RATS.
Paris Cats Unable to Keep the Ro
dents Within Pounds.
In Paris there are low streets near
tho river, where tho inhabitants are
nfraid to allow their children to cros3
the garden or the courtyard after
dark, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Central markets are infested to
such an extent that rat hunting has
been abandoned in despair. As soon
as dark sets In armies of rats attack
the reserve provisions, to which they
have burrowed their way beneath tho
masonry.
A singular detail is that the cats,
which are very numerous at the Cen
tral markets, live on the best terms
with tho rats. They can be seen trot
ting about together. The city cat has
lost its: reputation In Paris. He or she
still enjoys killing a mouse, but with
other food to hand a rat has become
rathe;- large game from the feline
point of view. For this reason tho
budget commission suppressed this
year the credits for tho cats kept in
tho storehouses ot the ministry of war.
Tlie cat as an ofllcial Is now only
to be found at the ministry ot finance
and the council of state. No decision
has yet been como to by the authori
ties as to how tlie rat plague 1b to be
got rid of, though poisons with Instan
tuneous effects, which have the ad
ditional advnntugi of mummifying thu
body, ure favorably tegarded. Tho
system, however, has the disadvantage
of making poison too readily obtain
able. Dr. Tlilery mentions four terriers be
longing tu M. Girard, chief of the mu
nicipal lnbratory, which are excellent
rnt catchers. They have cleared tho
cellars of tho prefecture of police from
tho vermin and have strayed along the
sowers na far as Herey, two miles
from homo, killing large numbers of
rats r,n tho way. M. Glrard's favor
Ito terrier can break Instantaneously
the back of a rat weighing 1V4 pounds.
On Acheres Plain rats estimated to bo
10,000 In number havo' been seen nt
once on two acres of cround planted
with beetroot.
BOOKER WASHINGTON PRAISES PERUNA
educator, founder of Tuskcgoo Institute, AJV Jlftl&iiJ -i&rji.W 'v?ijiV
TlkKKUKU, ALABAMA, A MONUMKNr TO B00KEU WASHINGTON'S ENERGY.
The Peruna Medicine Company, Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen "Your remarkable remedy, Peruna, is certainly unexcelled as a
tonic. I have used one bottle and I can truthfully say that I have never taken
any medicine that has improved me as much as Peruna. Peruna has my hearty
commendation as a catarrhal tonic and a certain cure for catarrh."
Booker Washington.
What this noted man says must inspire faith. President McKinloy said of him in an address at Tuskogeo: "Ho
(Booker Washington) has won a worthy reputation as ono of the great leaders of hisrace, widely known and much
respected at home and abroad as an accomplished educator, a great orator and a true philanthropist."
What in n Tonic?
A tonic is any remedy that Invigor
ates the nervous spstem, A weakened
nerve either needs more rest or more
nutrition. A true tonic accomplishes
both these ends. It procures more rest
by removing all irritation, and It In
creases nutrition by regulating the di
gestive organs. This is why Peruna is
to be classed as a tonic.
Spring Lassitude.
Why is nervousness more frequent
in tho spring? Why do the people feel
languid, tired and depressed as hot
weather approaches? Because the ln
vigoration of winter weather has acted
as a stimulus to the nervous system.
In soring this Is gradually removed.
It puts a severe strain on the human
system to adjust Itself to the climatic
chnngo from winter to summer. Many
diseases are acquired at this season ot
the year. Peruna Is indispensable to
tide the nervous system over this un
usual strain. No one should neglect to
take a short course of Peruna during
the spring. It will fortify the system
against the depressing influences of
hot weather. Buy a bottle today and
commence.

out ycxteiday's rccovcrie and carried prices
down in many Instances to the lowest of the

con?ideialle reduction of tlie surplus rcsenes.
It was very etiilent eaily in tlie day that the
demand from the outstanding short interest who
had sold principally in the break of Wednesday,
had tieen about satisfied. No outside demand
had been attracted and the bull pools which
had resumed opetations. ct(rday found the
task of holdlwr up their fmorites a hard one.
Steel jielded to the selling pressure and were
wiped out, the thst two stocks taklns their
place amongst the weakest of the railroad list.
Southern preferred was another sufterer. The
principal examples of veaknes were found
unionc the speculative and industrials. Su;ar
ami Steel and Wire were weak from the open
ins. American Tobacco was under pressuie all
day on rumors ot a projected competitor and
its last price shows a net loss of nearly 7
points following yesterday's loss of 314 points.
Many of the metal stocks and the local traction
stocks show losses of from 3 to a points. Net
losses of a point or upwards are frequent In the

years ago last
spring I was
c o n II n ed to

the energy to move.
"Through a friend I was advised to
try Peruna. Although I am not In the
habit of tuklng patent medicines I
bought a bottle and before I had used
It a week 1 began to feel ever so much
better. After I had used two bottles
1 was up and helping with my house
work for the first time In months.
"Ever since that time I have kent
Peruna on hand and use It as regular
as the spring-time conies, and find that
It gets my system into exactly the
right shape to stand the warm summer
weather. I surely recommend it as a
spring tonic of the highest type. I

Winter Leaves Its Effecls.
Tho climate of winter has produced
more or less catarrhal irritation of the
various mucous membranes of the
body. This unfits a person for busi
ness or pleasure. Peruna strikes at
the root of this condition by producing
a clean strong, healthy mucous mem
brane. Peruna cures nervousness and
lassitude by cleansing the mucous
membranes of tho whole body. Clean
mucous membranes make good sleep
possible, normal digestion and regu
lar functions.
What a Dollar Will Do.
A dollar will buy a bottle of Peruna.
A bottle of Peruna will cleanse tho
system of the impurities accumulated
during the winter. A clean system is
able to resist the untoward Influences
of spring. This averts the probability
of sickness or inefficiency. Thousands
of dollars in doctors' bills and lost
time may be saved by one dollar spent
In this way. "A stitch In time saves
nine." Do not wnit to get sick. Be
gin In time to prevent a spell of sick
ness. Address The Peruna Medicine Co.,
Columbus, O., for a free book on the
catarrhal derangements of spring.
