PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. 2. i a' IKE PULPIT. Dr. Hartman ha claimed for many years that Pernna is on EXCELLENT CATAREH REMEDY. Borne o f the doctor s critics have disputed the doctor's claim 4i to the efficacy of Parana. Mate the ingredients ef Parana axe no longer a secret, what do the medi cs! authorities say concerning the remedies of which Pernna is composed? Take, for instance, the Ingredient HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS, OR GOLDEN SEAL. The United State Dispensatory say of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved muooos membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), ehronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and in iar1 mucous membrane of the pelvic organ. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Pernna, CORTDALIS FORMOSA, is classed in the United State Dispensatory a a tonic. CEDRON SEEDS is another ingredient of Pernna, an excellent drug that ha been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty year. THE SEEDS ARE TO BE POUND IN VERY FEW DRUG STORES. The UnitedtStates Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a SUBSTITUTE FOR QUININE. OIL OF COPAIBA, another ingredient of Pernna, is classed by the United Stato Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary membranes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys entery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys. These opinions as to the ingredients of Pernna are held by all writers on the subject, including Bartholow and Scudder. OF HYDRASTIS, BARTHOLOW SAYS it is applicable to stomatitis (catarrh of the mucous surfaces of the mouth), follicular pharyngitis (catarrh of the pharynx), chronic coryxa 'catarrh of the head). This writer classes hydrastis as a stomachic tonic, useful in atonic dyspepsia (chronic gastric catarrh), catarrh of the duodenum, catarrh of the gall duct, catarrh of the intestines, catarrh of the kidneys (chronic Blight's disease), catarrh of the bladder, and catarrh of othor pelvic organs. BARTHOLOW REGARDS COPAIBA as an excellent remedy for chronic catarrh of the bladder, chronic bronchitis (catarrh of the bronchial tubes). BARTHOLOW STATES THAT CUBEB, an ingredient of Pernna, pro motes the appetite and digestion, increases the circulation of the blood. Use ful in chronic nasal catarrh, follicular pharyngitis (catarrh of the pharynx), increasing the tonicity of the mucous membranes of the throat It also re lieves hoarseness. Useful in atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), and in chronic catarrh of the colon and rectum, catarrh of the bladder, prostatorrhea, and chronic bronchial affections. 1IILLSPAUQH, MEDICINAL PLANTS, one of the most authoritative works on medicinal herbs in the English language, in commenting upon COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, says that it acts on the pneumogastric and vaso motor nerves. It increases the secretions of the mucous membranes in general In the mountains of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Carolina, collinsonia canadensis is considered a panacea for many disorders, including headache, colic, cramp, dropsy and indigestion. DR. SCUDDER regards it highly as a remedy in chronic diseases of the lungs, heart disease and asthma. These citations ought to be sufficient to show to any candid mind that Pe rnna is a catarrh remedy. Surely, such herbal remedies, that command the enthusiastic confidence o f the hi jhost authorities obtainable, brought together in proper combination, ought to make a catarrh remedy of the highest efficacy. This is our claim, and we are able to substantiate this claim by ample fluotations from the HIGHEST MEDICAL AUTHORITIES IN THE WORLD. A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. ROBERT COLLYER.

The venorsWc but still vigorous Dr. Robert Colyer , preached in the First Unitarian Church Sunday morning to a largo congregation. His subject was "Looking Toward Sunset," and for ! his text he took the two passages of Scripture: I. Timothy 4:8: "The I promise of the life that now is and of that which Is to come," and II. Cor inthians l:lt: "This mortal must! put on Immortality." Dr. Collyer I laid : I think It In uo wonder, as the yenrs come nrfU go, and we fare on Inward the sunset of the life tnat now is, the heart In up should feel a touch of dismay now and then when i wo try to Imagine ourselves out of the body, but the snme man or wom an, away from the world we live In, yet still In a home which will be i homelike and welcome, nnd of a day when the seasons will be no more 1 what they have been or the sun and I stars, the streets on which we walk i ' or the homes In whleh we dwell. A time when we can clasp hands no I : more with friends; sit no more at the I table nnd join In the cheery talk, go ' to our work In the nio-ning and when , the dny's stint Is done go home, take ; 1 some book we love best to read and , then go to sleep through tmV silent, i shadowy hours to wake again In the ; morning and find Uut Ood has made ' J all things new. And I think this , touch of dismay may well be of all ; i things natural nnd therefore right, : because we nre in this body and find that in the measure of our life la our , , loyalty to the things we can touch , and see. To the feeble aged this loy- I nlty to the world ho lives In is no more than an Instinct to hold on, but ! I in those who nre still hale and strong J ! It Is n loyalty for which they can give ! : good reason. They love the fra- I : prance of the opening spring that fills I them with the old delight, nnd the I I summer with her fruits and flowcs, I and the golden treasures of the au- , tutnn, and the white glory of the win ter. All this is so dear nnd human ' that it comes a little hard to think of I I a time when all this can be no more ! I what it is her" and now. And so it ' I might to be. If the option were glv- ; en to many of us while the tides of i . life run deep and full to exchange j this life for the splendors of the ce- ) lestlal city, to give up the fight for j j the necessaries of life, for the white rob, the harps and crowns, most of us would hesltnte to say, we love this 1 best, after all, and do not want to I give it up, no matter wUat may be j Waiting In tho blessed life to come. The gravitation of our being binds us I to our planet, and we cannot cry, : "Oh, that 1 had wings like a dove; then would I flee away and be at rest." Nor do 1 think (hat Cod's gift of I life should be thought of as If It 1 were In quarantine nnd this world a place to have done with, the sooner the better. Some such conclusion, I I know, may come from brooding over I the ills of life, or to those who have j drained their life of all its pleasant ness. The men who have tnlked in ! this strain nre men who were either out of sorts or else they did not prac tice what they preached. The men who have done the most and best were of au abounding human life, nnd while they were on the way to loin the saints they could go hunting with St. Augustine or play or sing with Luther. So of the men who haveV no special claim to a place amoJB the saints. They loved their own land Ilk good Sir Walter Scott, the waters and to go aflslilng like Isaac Waiton and Paley, who once told a friend that he finnld not think Of writing another word in his once famous book on the evidences until (ly-fishlng was over. No one thing In this universe can bo of deeper moment to a whole and sound man than his own proper per- sonal life. You may talk to him for. ever about being lost in the infinite, he will still cling to himself as the true factor and say, with a very no- I hie man I knew who has cone out of the bed to Cod s house: "I prefer hell to annihilation." The angels are well enough, but he would not be an an gel. Angela; have had no mothers to croon over them, by what we can make out, or fathers to romp with them. They never fell In love when the time came, wondering over their rare fortune, or made homes where the children clung about their knees, or i'ought strong battles for the truth and the right, or wept over graves. Angels, then, must bo poor where such a man Is rich, or rich in some way he cannot as yet understand. He has Bolved the problem so far of his own personal Identity and would not have it resolved Into the grandest I presence that ever trod the earth. I These years, with their clustering memories, are his own years. They stand out clear and reveal to the man his own life. A poor thing, he may ! say, but mine own; full of mistakes, 1 but min.3 own. I want to keep I track of myself. Send me where you I will, but l3t me be sure that I nm stilt the man who Is now living this hu- man life, us those are who have lived ! human lives with me. "The kind, i the true, the brave, the sweet who walk with us no more," they will be ' there in the life to come, not un i clothed but clothed upon and then I j shall rest in hope for: It is the dear belief That on some solemn shore. Beyond the reach of grief, Y tind our own once more; Beyond the sphere oi time. And sense and fate's control, Serene in changeless prime, Dwells the iin nortal soul. This faith I fain would keep, This hope would not forego: Eternal be the sleep, If not to Waken ao. ! There must be another life to round ; this out and clothe it with perfec- tlon. The tree loses nine blossoms I for one globe or trait ; the wild things let their young go forth and forget; the flocks are kith and kin, but one Is taken and another left and to-morrow it Is all the same. They do not' re'.ret their mistakes or Borrow for' their sins as I must, but old friend I nro taken and I am left, those dear! to me as my life or dearer, and I, cannot prevent this longing after them bpcnitso they are part of my as! and 1 urn only as shards and shreds ot the whole tali circle. My eoul demunds, if, being mine here, they are not mine hereafter. And In looking Into my own life I can see where I' havo missed my way and want to try again. I am only a learn er. I want still to learn and turn my lesson to some noble usto. Bo what can thl Incompleteness mean which haunts but the intimation ot com pletene? Thl claim as it Mms to me Is fotinded In fair reason, and we hold the right to see th account come out fair aodtruoon this ground, if on no other. May l not say once more that the ( years as they come and go should bring, the heart to understand that ! thl we call death should not be , thought of and especially by those who like myself bave'had a long lease . of life as a bane but a blessing, and not to die while so surely would thl j world be tho loser by our staying; i that those- who love us most dearly would pray that we might be set free from the burden of the over many years. For It would make no mat ter to the creatures of the lnwer cre ation we'have glanced at, it their life could run on forever In the old kindly grooves, because they must measure their life by their Instincts, and the present moment Is tho perfect sphere. They want no better, as they fear no worse, and take no thought for the morrow. The squirrel has his nuts and the bee his boney.and so through all the spheres of their life. But hern lies the distinction be tween our life and theirs: Where they have Instincts we have mentnries, ' where they have habits we have out- looks and Inlooks, anticipations and reflections, and our manhbod on the I line to which we have risen holds In its heart our cross and our crown. The glnmor of youth is mine no i more; yet. I mny remember with ten- I der regret and I may In some dim I fashion be aware why the eternal ' love should give me the blessed boon of death, when I have drank my fill j at the fountain of life down here and j It Is time to croes the bar. And then I I must take this truth home to my I heart: that by the time I have had enough of life the world I live in now j mny have hnd enough of me. So I i must not only get out of the world, j but out of the way, so that tho new , man may have room for the work he i must do. To most of us the time I comes when we begin to trace the I truth of the new time oy tho lines of j longitude nnd forget the lines of latl- tude; we do not believe In the new man from the Lord, but want the old man and manhood that will be true to our line of measurement. Again, j when we grow old the knowledge of the evil In the world begins to lie like lead on us, while the knowledge of the good can hardly hold Its own. One man in ten may take me in and I lose more grace by that one man than I gain by the nine who did not; I think more of the bitter than the sweet, brood over the cruelty and for got thp mercy. While I must say, with the great apostle. "It doth not yet appear what we shall be," I would hold on well to the faith that I shall be myself when I pass from the shadows of the seen and temporal Into the light of the ! unseen and eternal. 1 shall pass out I of one room In the "many mansions" Into another, and what treasure In ! the heaven was mine here will be i mine there, while that which is to come will not seem so much another I life as the ripeness and perfecting of this life that now Is. We may say we know nothing nbout the mystery Of the life beyond, but this Is not true if we believe in Him who "brought life and Immortality to light." We know enough to keep the heart from trouble, and this Is , what w'e need to know, for It was too heart's love which brought us hrf that nursed us forth, bore with M, believed In us and hoped for us, and never failed and that death j cannot slay. And so I love to believe in what i shall I call the solidarity of life here , and hereafter, and that I am to be myself whatever befalls the myself I long to be released from "the I body ot this death," and to bear with j mo all that I best worth God's sav ing in my life down here; and not a ' flower has bloomed, or a well sprung Bp for my blessing, or a bird sung. 1 or a dear friend clasped hands .with j mine, or tears fallen, or laughter rip- i pled out of a pure Joy, to be forgot ten. I would be myself, and myself this soul, which has stored up esseiice I or all that shall be or an Immortal worth since I lay a babe In tho cradle so far away in time and space.

No words can describe the bless- I ingness ol a soul which lives in com- : munlon with God; asking and receiv ing, seeking and finding, knocking and huvlng the door opened, wrote Thomas Adam, over a century ago. For what Is happiness but this? Or how can we describe It better than by saying that a man wishes for the very thing he sought asad Is sure to havo it? And Buch Is the man of prayer, the Christian. He chooses the fountain of all happiness for his portion, and can not be disappointed of his desire. He Is happy in the very act of orayer, knowing It to be tho right frame ot his mind, the proof of his renewed state aud his capacity for receiving blessing from Ood. Rerlew of the First Quarter Golden Text, John 1:4 What the Kiev- en Previous Lessons Prove Commentary. Oolden Text "In Him was Mfe; 1 and the life was tho light of men." ! John 1:4. The .purpose of John's Gospel I given In John 20:31: "But theie are written, that ye might bellevo that : Jesus. Is the Christ, the Son of God; I and that belleTlng ye might have life through His name." It was to prove that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of ! God, and to prove It In such a way that men might believe It In their hearts and thus obtain life through 1 His name. Therefore the best review of tho lessons of the quarter will be to go through the lessons one by one and find out how this great truth thut brings life Is Illustrated In each les son. In Lesson I . th Is central truth of this Gospel Is brought out In many ways. We see the pre-exlstence of Jesus Christ as the etprnal Word, "In the beginning with God," and thus plain ly declared that He was God. We see Him as the Creator or all things, the 1 One In Whom was life and Who was the Light of men. In Jesus of Nazar- ' eth this eternal Word became flesh I and the apostles beheld His glory, I glory as of the only Begotten ot the Father. Wo see Him as the only be- gotten Son of God. who fully de- i clared God In His own person as well ' as In His words. In Lesson II. we have John's testi mony received from Ood and certified by the visible descent of the Holy Spirit that Jesus was the Lamb of Ood, eternally pre-exlstent, the One who baptized with the Holy Ohost, the Son of God. In Lesson III. we have Andrew and Philip's discovery of Jesus as the Messiah, Him of whom Moses In the law and prophets did write; and Na thaniel's discovery that Jesus was the Son of Ood, the King of Israel. In Lesson IV. we have Jesus mani festing Himself as Son ot Ood and Ruler of God's house by driving out from It those who were defiling It by making the Father's house a house of merchandise. And also Jesus testify ing to His own deity by claiming that if they destroyed the temple of His body He would raise it up again. In Lesson V. we see Jesus as the only begotten Son of God giving eter nal life to thos who believe on Him. In Lesson VI. we see Jesus declar ing Himself to tho woman as the I Christ, "I that speak unto thee am He," and the woman of Samaria rec- j ognized Him as the Christ because "He told mo all things that ever I did." In Lesson VII. we see Jesus mani festing His divine glory In Cana ot Galilee by healing sickness at a dis tance by His bare word. In Lesson VIII. we Bee Jesus mani festing His divine power by healing simply by His word a man who had been In his Infirmity thirty and eight years and who was utterly helpless and hopeless. In Lesson IX. we Bee Jesus mani festing His divine power and glory by i feeding 5000 men with five small loaves and two small fishes, twelve basketfuls or rragments being left over after all were filled. This was a creative act aud a decisive proof of Jesus' deity. In Lesson X. we hear Jesus de claring Himself to be the One who glveth everlasting life, the One whom God the Father hath sealed, the One through belief in Whom eternal life Is ootalned, as the Bread at Life which cometh down from heaven, the One to whom coming we shall never hunger and upon Whom believing we shall never thirst. In Lesson XI. we see Jesus mani festing His deity in healing a man born blind and declaring Himself the Light of the world. In each lesson Jesus shines out as the Christ, the Son ot God. True faith is built upon facts. Here are facts upon which faith can build and believing obtain life through His name. , Th Church for Worship and Service. (Mark 1: 21 28; Pa. 40.) This theme reveals the Church of Jesus Christ as sorTlng two great and necessary purposes: the purpose of worship and the purpose of service. .'. wik wa paid special attention to the church as a place of worship and a place for the proclamation of Dod'a truth; this week pecll hasls mnv well be nlacsd upon the sther hemisphere of the church's life; th"t is to sav. It offer of heeling and help tor all the needy who come. Many believe the theory that the church must be for worship and preaching only; that It must not un dertake anv runctlon or social service; but the theory Is hopelessly out of touch with reality. The church can not help Itself. It doe not always need ro perform the same kind of ser rice, but It Is and always must be in Institution for service. Th church I of necessity a saving fore In the rommunlty. Jesus Christ came to make possible the perfection of hu man life. His church Is established to carry forward that purpose. Other wise it wini id be a curious puzzle; nobody rould tell why the church ex isted. And this work of the church 1 to secure the perfection in char acter of those already sharing Its life and to bring others within tho reach of the love of tire Lord, that they also may attain the perfect life. Every thing that ministers to this work la part of the church's business. This Is not an argument for the church merely as a place of kitchens and nnrlors nd good music and gym nasiums; It is more. The great ser vice of the church Is to minister to the souls of men. It must seek to win men and women away from Bin to loyalty and love toward Jesus Christ. The greatest noed of men Is that they shall be made conscious of God; If the church does not supply that need, what Institution an 9 There Is no hope In any other. Rut when men become conscious of Ood, then they become conscious of their sin and of their soul's need, and then they must find Jesus Christ. So the greatest business of the church Is the bring ing of Christ and men together. MARCH TWENTY-SECONB. Preparing Prayer. All personal work must be perme ated with love. A perfunctory Invi tation or a word spoken without sym pathy and love will not prove effec tive. The spirit In which we approach an unsaved person may render use less all our labors. Preparation by prayer is necessary before we under take personal work. If you are In communion with God, It is much eas ier to get into touch aud communion with your fellow men. In Thine Inner Chamber. Having entered into thine Inner chamber, shut thy door against the care and fret of life, against earthly loves and passions, against thought, against bad self, but more closely against good self. Turn thine ear and hearken to the living God, who dwells In His yielded temple, Edga K Bellow. THE KING GETS THE MOST. If this game Is played out ot doors a large bowl or basket full ot small pebbles will do; Indoors a bowl ot small white beans or peanuts would do. This bowl Is placed at an equal distance from the equally divided party. There is a captain on each side: He or she says: "The king 1 he who gets the most. One, two, three! " At this the opposite captain run to tbo bowl, grasp as many peb bles or beans as he can in one hand, and dashes back to his place. Then the next two in line become captain and do the same, say the Washing ton Star. After all have tried a count Is taken and those who have th most all go upon one side. There may be fewer upon that aide, but they ought to be th best equipped, though they may not be at the second try. At thl bout th strength of th two partlM 1 decided. Philadelphia Record.

Religion gives a man courage. 1 do not mean the courage that hate, I that smites, that kills, but the calm 1 courage that loves and heals and blesBes such a smite and hate and kill; the courage that dares resist evil, popular, powerful, anointed evil, yet does It with good, and knows ' shall thereby overcome. That la not u common quality. I think It never comes without religion. Theodore I Parker. New Idea in Watches. A mau stopped at tho checking room of a department storo and checked bis watch.

Among thoir treasures tbe late Ambassador and Lady Durand have a large quantity ot Persian silk stuffs and a magnificent Sultanabad carpet of quaint desigu. Horns of Ibex and the rest are evidence that Sir Mortl tnor is nn excellent shot. While at Teheran the late ambassador had lining in the billiard room a painting of Fath All Shah, who Is repi'ted to have had over &00 children. This painting was cteeuted by order of tho new shah's grandfather for pres entation to Queen Victoria. It never reached England, however, for very obvious reasons. Sir Mortimer Du rarrd has spent practically the whole of his life among Asiatics, and is as well acquainted with their peculiari ty us any man living. It was in 1873 that he joined the Indian Civil 8ervlce, and during the Afghan War he accompanied Lord Roberts as po litical secretary. His principal dip lomatic service was a mission to the Atueer of Afghanistan some years ago, whose vigorous personality greatly impressed our representative.

Book! every day advise blm what to eal and drink, whether to take exercli or not, If wnrk will help him or idle nes contribute better to long life, while newspaper advertisement teom literally with searching questions of his health, and how he may "feel good" again. Vacation-time, sap posed to build up tissues against wear and tear another year, Is, curiously enough, the season when the worker and the leisured ma alike -have forced on them the con sideration of their health. Holidays, It may be, give the former just a "snr.ck" of life without sufficient time for his recuperation. A few weeks' change, Indeed, although en joyable, many leave him worae ofj than before when warmed to harness. The wealthy, on the other hand,, at this time Buffer from the too-elaborate life. At any rate, thelrWoctora recommend a sojourn at some watering-place, where outside topics be come smothered In tbe usual sani tarium talk. Houses need spring cleaning. So do men, who think' It right occasion ally to raise an outcry against graft or Immorality, and also to Investigate their state of health. One modern feature of this intermittent hyglenU scare has been the readiness of doc tors to respond in print to rartouf suggestions for the conduct and pro longing of existence. John Bull has bitterly bewailed his lost roast beef, the lack of which la telling on his flguro. Indeed, with all respect to vegetarians, they fall to give one the Impression of well nourished people. A writer famous on political economy, who left off meat, when he returned to It com mitted to the flames all work done In the interval. As to exercise, It Is as difficult to know. Several living politicians still In their prime refuse of their accord to stir a yard. Other men of equal prominence are never happy unless actively engaged in llmb-stretchlng. 8et hours, again, may suit those used to them. But that regularity Itself gives health Is a pleasing modern fiction. Weary William is robust enough. In health dlBcusslons stress Is laid upon longevity, whereas, to the ma jority of men, the dally sense of being well is what they want, not ex tra years. As somo one asked tho other day, "Who cares to live beyond the Bible limit?" None, certainly, save those perhaps who have already reached It. Meanwhile, health-finders mob exceptional cases of extreme old age as If to wring from the de crepit creatures some subtly-guarded secret of long life. Not bad advice was that bestowed on such an one by an old dame, herself for seventy years an Inveterate pipe-smoker, to the effect "she never worried, but took things as they corned." Har per's Weekly. Auberon Herbert's Conversion. I remember hearing from my dear friend, North Plnder, now, alas! gone over to the majority, a curious anec dote of Mr. Auberon Herbert. He was staying at PInder'a house. Roth-c-rfield Greys Vicarage, near Henley-on-Thames, and there were other gue3ts In the house. High debate wa held on various questions, social and political; and Auberon Herbert took, as was his habit in those days, a strong Tory line. One night, on re tiring to bed, he asked for a book, to read when ho should wake In the morning, 'and Plnder supplied him with a volume of Carlyle 1 wish that I could give the title. He came down to breakfact next day converted to Radicalism, if Radicalism is the right word for the political opinlonswhich he held thenceforward. Possibly An archism would be better. It was a caBe of Instantaneous conversion, and it had this characteristic of conver sion, that tho "old man" was put r.way utterly and at once. This was Auberon Herberts way. Alfred J. Church, in the Spectator. Economical But Unsuggcstlve. An amusing story recently went tho rounds at Princeton concern ing a last year's graduate, an indus trious student of an extremely literal tendency. At the beginning of his concluding year, it appears, his father, about to set off for Europe, had promised the boy that If he got his degree he would be sent for by his parent, who would take him for a Continental trip last ing the entire Bummer. HIb ambition thus stimulated, the lad studied faithfully all the college year, and in June came through with flying colors. Then he cabled hla father: "Yes." The old gentleman, however, would aeem to have forgotten his Impulsive offer, for after mualng a bit over the message, he cabled back: "Yea, what?" Whereupon the son, In turn a trifle perplexed, thought it over. Finally he cabled hla father: "Yea, air." Harper's Weekly. Legislation to Stop the Bind Weed. With the introduction of a bill yesterday in the House by Represen tative Oshant, of Bills County, many legialatora learned of tbe oxlatence of a new pest weed In Kansas.
