"I hope that all who arc alHicted with

The above ia only one of hundreds who
have written aimilar letters to Dr. rlart

Peruna to the candid consideration of every
one similarly afflicted. If this be true of
the testimony of one person what ought to
be the testimony of hundreds yes thou

Why does the lnlted States Gov
ernment, which enforces with great
rigidity the laws against lotteries,
even to excluding foreign newspapers
which contain advertisements of
them, conduct lotteries Itself In the

the rectnt distribution of the Kose
bud farms? It would be ensy to de
vise a different and Indeed a more
equitable system of allotment. Per
haps some form of auction would be
fairest and best of all. Anyway, Is
the appeal to chance In any respect
more moral when administered by

Painting The Toun Red.
"That expression, 'Painting the
town red,' Is not," writes a corre
spondent, "the creation of some un
known genius. Its birth has been
traced to 'The Divine Comedy.'
Dante, led by Virgil, comes to the
cavernous depths of the place swept
by a mighty wind whore those are
confined who have been the prey of
their passions. Two faces arise from
the mist the faces of Francesca and
Paola.
" 'Who are ye?' cries Dante In
alarm, and Francesca replies sadly,
'We are those who have painted the
world red with our gins.' "

How To Kill Surplus Cats.
Haw to destroy surplus kittens or
puppies In a painless way, without
calling into use the old-fashioned
method of a bag and a pail of water,
is told In the annual report of the
London Institute for Lost and Starv
ing Cats. The directions are as fol
lown: "Take a dish cover, place it where
It can be pressed Into the mold of
the garden, or In default of this, on
an old cushion, so that the latter
bulges out all around and makes the
cover airtight. Place the animals
beneath and pour four ounces of
pure chloroform on wadding. Push
the wadding under the cover, hold
the cover down for three or four
minutes and then leave undisturbed
for an hour. The body must be stiff
lioforo burial."
A recent exhibition In Vienna, In
stituted by a Berlin chemist. Dr.
Paul Jeserlch, who devotes most of
His time to legal nnd criminal mat
ters, has fairly astounded the press
3f that city by Its demonstration of
;he value of photography la the de
tection of crime. Every large city
oow has Its rogue's gallery, and
spreads broadcast photogrnohs of
tuspects. The photographing of the
tceneg of crime for the enlighten
ment of jurleo is still another devel
jpment with which the "general pub
lic Is familiar. But few people real
ize that In many other ways photog
raphy has become of enormous value
In the nctual detection o? crimlnnls.
To Illustrate this remarkable devel
spment was the prime object of Dr.
leserlch's display of the eighty en
larged prints which constitute his
nfttMHott.
The sun sees everything, however
fallible the human eye. Even when
reinforced by, the microscope or the
magnifying glass, th,e ordinary ob
ierver is apt to overlook little things
in themselves of great Importance.
Moreover, a detective, or nn expert
employed by the oollce. might behold
through a magnifier something which
he would regard as evidence, but
about which a Jury might fall to take
his word. By means of the enlarge
ment of a negative, proof of a crime
may often be shown to a Jury which
would otherwlso be practically un
available. This is Dr. Jeserich's con
tention, and his demonstration of It
impressed observers ns convincing.
For instance, he exhibited two let
ters which had originally contained
money, and had been received with
out their enclosures. To the eye,
they had not been tampered with in
any way, and there was nothing to
show whether they had been sent
without the money or whether they
had been opened en route. An en
larged photograph solved the mys
tery. It showed plainly that one of
the envelopes had two lines of mucil
age, while an unevenness in the post
office stamp on the flap showed that
there had been a slight variation in
the reseating, ft was obvious that
this letter had bean tampered with;
the other proved not to have been,
for the paper sheets enclosed In place
of the money showed, when photo
graphed, the imprint of the post
offfce stamp which It had received
through the envelope.
The tell-tale blotting paper has
figured In many a novel and play.
Hitherto It has been read by means
5f a looklng-glnss. Dr. Jeserlch ..'JU
a divorce case by first photographing
the blotter and then enlarging the
print; the resulting evidence that the
defendant was guilty by Itself suf
ficed to convince the court. A mur
derer was convicted by means of the
cord with which he strangled his
victim; a piece of It was found in
his pockets, but not until photog
raphy was called In was the fact be
yond dispute that both pieces of cord
had originally been one. Another
victim of a murderer clutched In his
hrnd a mere scrap of a ttnen mask;
a search of the rooms of the sus
pected criminal revealed another
piece of linen. When both were
photographed, It was found that the
weaving was Identical; In each piece
four dark threads were alwnys fol
lowed by fourteen light ones. A
stolen wedding ring, when found on
the thief, bore the number 12, 12,
93 C. S. A magnifying glass re
vealed nothing, but the camera
brought out th original mark, 8. 6.
2. 88. Faint traces of blood stains
dot otherwlso discernible are also re
vealed by the photographic plate.
Not even the most careful expert
has as yet been able to re-photograph
that picture of the murderer on tho
retina of the victim's eyes, which
has betrayed the crlmlnnl In more
than one novel. But Dr. Jeserlch
was able to capture ono criminal who
used part of an envelope bearing his
address as an extrtt chnrgo In loading
his old-fashioned revolver. The pa
per was apparently charred beyond
hope, but tho camera ended specu
lation as to the identity of the crim
inal by furnishing his name and
I street number. In the same way, a
photograph of a bullet that had end
ed a life showed very faint mark
ings, which could only como from a
slight unevenness In the barrel of the
revolver from which It was fired.
The wenpon of one suspect was used
again and again, and each bullet
fired showed the same faint lines.
In the discovery of forgeries, hand
writing experts have long resorted
to tho camera, and Dr. Jeserlch ex
hibited some startling examples of
tho ease with which tho work of the
cleverest forgers was revealed.
All of this shows clearly that If
now inventions and tho advances of
science furnish new weapons to the
criminal, they in turn make it harder
fOT him to escape punishment. Some
day we may yet see men like Dr.
Jeserlch Included In the detective
staffs of our great cities; and not
only photography, but all the other
sciences, v111 contribute to the de
tection of wrongdoers. Not even in
Scotland Yard have the police gone
into partnership with scientists to
the extent possible. In this city our
detectives, when not corrupt, are
often Incompetent or wholly behind
the times. When they have scored
successes. It has generally been by
good luck, by breaking down the
prisoner's nerve through methods
often Indistinguishable from torture,
or because of the stupidity pf the
crlmlnnl. Gen. Bingham has
dreaniod of the time when he could
appoint civilians to his detective
corps; but ho has not yet asked for
that alliance between science and de
tection which modern developments
n.ako feasible. New York Post.

Health Regained by Right Food.
The average healthy man or wom

But let dyspepsia or Indigestion
get hold of one, and all endeavor be

"A year ago, after recovering from

"luy stomach and nerves began to
give me much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora

not nourish me and I grew weaker

"I lost Interest In everything anil

Passing of n Once Familiar Figure in
Newspaper Offices.
What has become of the old time
printer, once so familiar before the
Invasion of the linotype mnchine?
He used to show up with the first
frost. You found him in the office
early some October morning, toasting
his back before the stove. His first
request was, "Boss, may I look over
the exchanges?" and he was soon
pawing around among the papers on
the editorial table. By 0 o'clock he
had levied sufficient tribute upon the
boys to get a shave and a drink, and
after dinner he was picking up bre
vier In a way to make an expert en
nous. All winter he worked as stead
ily as a clock. Many were the stories
Ue told around the back room fire on
Sunday afternoon. Though with
out much education, his very wander
ings had made htu. au entertaining
personage.
lu the spring, however, when the
tiny bees buzzed lazily against the
i.: r.ny window pane and the lilac
hushes in the courthouse yard were
putting forth their fragrant lavender
plumes and the night air was pungent
with the odor of burning brush piles
and sweet with earthy exhaltlons of
upturned sod and everywhere could
he heard the laughter of children
... tying In the twilight, a change
came over the spirit of the tramp
printer. He felt the call of the road,
with Its luxurious days of animal de
ilt'jt under the clear skies of spring,
with Its privilege of work when you
wish and Idle when y.u will. He
wished to see the Doys again, to visit
tho fifty offices where he had friends,
so one Monday morning in mid-April
when you entered the office you
missed his form at the case, the
months' familiar figure with one gal
Ins down and a short oil stained cob
pipe protruding from under n slightly
1 .millions nose. Yet with all of his
vagrant Impulses you felt kindly to
ward your nomadic brother in the
ut preservative and were ever ready
for him to come again.
Before it is too late some gifted
I'M should tell tho story of the tramp
printer. It Is one teeming with ro
mance and the very best possibilities
of good literary effort. True, to-day
almost every office has the remorse
less, speedy and ever ailing machine,
but no one can wax either enthusias
tic or reminiscent over a mere ma
chine. Shawnee (Okla.) Herald.
Some Eurly Efforts Toward Thell
Suppression.
"It Is so quiet uptown now that
the patient listener may now and
then catch somo of the softer noises
of the world," said a semi-invalid
lawyer who spends most of the day
sitting by the open window of his
Harlem Hat.
"I have naturally taken a groat
deal of Interest in the present crusade
against unnecessary noises, and have
been reading up on sporadic attempts
to suppress them," he continued.
"The earliest case that I have found
was In the reign of George III, when
a circus band was silenced by injunc
tion on the ground that its noise was
a nuisance. In another old English
law report it telU of a plaintiff recov
ering damages because a flock of
wild ducks was frightened by tho
persistent firing of a gun. Th
learned Judge held that this consti
tuted a public nuisance and waB a
prejudice to private rights. In
Ueorgia 'gathering in a noisy way at
a pigeon shooting' has been Judi
cially decided to be a nuisance. A
North Carolina court held that the
stamping horses In a livery sta'oKi
near the plaintiff's dwelling was suf
ficient annoyance to entitle him to
damages.
"Even the noise Incident to an or
dinary business may be a nuisance.
A gold-beater pelting a thin sheet of
told Into shape, the hammering, of
the anvil In the blacksmith shop, the
noise of a skating rink, and so on,
have all been held to be abatable
nuisances.
"The test 'aid down In the bnckt
is that any 'noise which constitutes
an annoyance to a person of ordinary
sensibility to sound so as materially
to interfere with the ordlna-y com
fort of life and impair the reason
able enjoyment of his habitation, li
a nuisance to him.'
"It Is within the bounds of possi
bility that in great centres of popu
lation a new class of experts will
arise to draw salaries from the muni
cipality as noise specialists. Un
usual noises long continued undoubt
edly Induce deafness, aside from Irri
tating nerves and murdering sleep.
At any rate, they destroy a discrim
inating nicety in hearing, especially
In those who have what Is call'd a
musical ear." From the New oik
Times.
R. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
"Decided Improvement Is noted 'n

resumed after months of Idleness,
sufficient orders hav'ng accumulated
to assure active capacity during the
bnlance of the yetr, and there Is a
general belief thnt contracts will be
placed freely during the next two
months.

Tarring and feathering, it seems,
is a Kuropenn invention. One of
Richard Coeur-de-I.lon's ordinance
for seamen was "thnt If any me:
were taken with theft or pickery
and thereof convicted, he should
have his head polled, and hot p'tch
poured upon his pate, and upon thai
life feathers of some pillow or cush
ion Shaken aloft, that he might th-
by be known for a thief, and n" U
next arrival of the ships to any 1
be put forth of the company t- - nfe
his adventures without all hi ye cf
return unto his fellows."
