The Evolution of Household Remedies. The modern patent medicine bold ness i the natural ontgrnwth of the old-time household remedies. In tho early history of this conn try, EVKRY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit ters, laxatives and tonics, were to be fonnd In almost, every honse, com pounded by the housewife, sometimes aaslsted by the njtothecary or the fam ily doctor. Much remedies us plcrn, which waa aloes and quassia, tils solved In apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of pop ular, home-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed nlcig from house to house, sometimes written, somet lines verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is a natural outicrowth from this whole some, old-time custom. In the begin ning some enterprising doctor. Im prest ed by the usefulness of one of these home - made remedies, would take It up, improve it in many ways, manufacture It on a large scale, ad vertise It mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus It would be come used over a large nren. LAT TERLY THE HOl'HKHOLIUtEMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND 8CJENVIEIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonltes, of Pennsylvania, lie fore it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, Is of Mennonlte origin. First, he pre scribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of It increased, and at last he established a manufac tory and furnished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis and ca tarrhal diseases generally. THOU SANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. Tliey have learned to trust uid believe in Dr. Hnrtman's Judg ment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna.

The man who, occupying the room next to one of these, was asked to make as little nolle as pos sible when he came home at night, really did try to carry ont these In structions. When he took off his boots he placed them both at once on the floor. Instead of flinging them separately In opposite directions, as was his wont; he crept, noiselessly about the mom; he said nothing when he got into bed and found he had forgotten o put out the gas; he might have been the traditional mouse that no one has ever met. As he closed hi eyes a growl came from the next room: "When on earth are you going to put down the other boot?"-London Chronicle. Morning Street Refuse. At Rtienos Ayres, the capital of the Argentine Republic, they are us ing the system of burning house and street refuse Instead of dumping It Into the estuary of La Plata River. The department of public works has Just ordered that the construction of the building for the refuse burn ing of the Flores parish, or district, shall be hastened as much as possi ble. The method used Is based upon what. Is known as the Backer system, with slight modifications, recommended by a special commis sion, which had made some prelimi nary experiments. It is calculated that about 80 tons of refuse can be burned dally In the single establish ment of the Flores parish. Submarine Propulsion. The four large submarines recent ly laid down for the French fleet raise an Interesting question as to propelling power, In respect of which these vessels appear to have reached a turning point In their his tory. All four are neither of the same type nor of the same tonnage. Two are of 800 tons, one of 660, and another of 450 tons. This last Is the most Interesting of the four. It has been designed by M. Maurice, n naval engineer, entirely from his own Ideas, and It Is propelled by heat accumulating boilers, which for equal conditions of speed and radius of action are stated to offer many advantages over electrical accumulators. Mouse Tried To Rob Jewelry. "Are you aware that an attempt Is being made to rob this store?' was the startling question put by customed In a jewelry store on Boyls ton Street. The attendant gave a quick glance along the line of cus tomery, but saw nothing suspicious, and then asked the young lady questioner what she meant. Calling his attention to a hand some turquoise pendant In the cor ner of a large show window, she asked him to watch it. He did so, and saw It being pulled toward a hole by a small mouse. Boston Herald. NEW YORK DAY BY DAT Some of the Things Dono Daily in the Metropolis. 'Free Demonstration. Tempted by the presence ef a throng of handsomely gowned wom en among whom he was being led by his sisters to an Insane asylum, Dan iel Knott, suffering from tho delu sion that be is famous opera singer, could not resist making his debut In the heart of Brooklyn's shopping district. The sidewalk at Fulton Street and Flatbush Avenue was his stage. He selected the most stately of tho women shoppers as soloists and oth ers as chorus girls and supernumer aries. He ran from his three sla tes to a tall, handsome woman, and throwing an arm about her waist, seized her gloved hand and sang "I love thee, I love thee. I love" With a respoundlng smack the woman's hand fell on the man's open mouth. Knott seemed to con sider the slap a part of the perform ance. He found compensation for the blow by pressing his bruised Hps against the cheek of a pretty little woman with blue eyes and fair hair. She screamed and ran. The scream attracted a great crowd of women. Knott ran among them, kissing, hugging and tinging. The performance lasted Just two min utes, but In that brief space the man hugged eighth women, kissed five and terrified Beveral scores. Police man John 3. O'Connor appeared. Knott was only a play actor, but the policeman was a stern reaUty. Knott was thrown to the ground. The two struggled desperately and the police man was the victor, despite the maniacal strength of Knott. Ready For A Good Time. "Are you making any planB for next summer?"

This la the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the caro of her health at this time invites disease and pain. When her system Is in a deranged condition or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active and with sv hostof nervous irritations make life a burden.
