In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman Con- gressman Botkin says: “My Dear Doctor—It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative quali- ties of your medicines—Peruna and Mana- lin. I have been afflicted more or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence in Washington has increased these troubles. A few bottles of your medicine have given me almost complete relief, and I am sure that a continuation of them will effect a permanent cure.”—J. D. Botkin. r. L. F. Verdery, a prominent real es- tate agent, of Augusta, Ga., writes: “Ihave been a great sufferer from catarrhral dyspepsia. I tried many physicians, visited a good many springs, but I believe FPeruna has done more for me than all of the above put together. Ifeel like a new verson.’”’—L. F. Verdery. The most common form of summer ca- tarrh is catarrh of the stomach. This is generally known as dyspepsia. Peruna cures these cases like magic. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O. A HISTORIC FLAG. . The Cne Made and Carried by Gil- more’s Little Party. A unique relic of Lieutenant Gil- more’s captivity and rescue in the Philippines was shown by General Eu- gene Griffin at the recent dinner of the officers of the First regiment of volunteer engineers, Spanish War vet. eramns. This was the American flag which was made by the sailor's in Lieutenant Gilmore's party out of patches and strips of their clothing. The rescue party, commanded by Colonel Hare, made a brillinat march, lasting over five weeks and surmount. ed the most difficult obstacles in their progress. They found Lieutenant Gilmore and his men abandoned, with- out food or arms by the insurgents | in the wildest part of Luzon among the headhunters. where their fate would have veen only a matter of a few hours if the rescue party had not arrived so opportunely. In spite of the fact that all of them were half naked, they had sacrified enough clothing to make up a fair substitute for the regular Stars and Stripes. I Feel So Tired. How often do we hear this and similar expressions from tired, overworked women and weary men, who do not know where to find relief. For that intense weariness, so common and so discouraging, we earnestly recommend Vogeler's Curative Compound. It is not a stimulant but a true blood purifier and strength restoring tonic, safe and sure, which will gradually build up all the weak crgans in such a way as to be a lasting benefit. A fair trial of a free sample bottle which St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd., of Baltimore, Md, will send you for the asking, will con. vince anyone of its wonderful medicinal value. It will drive all impurities from the blood, give nerve, mental and bodily strength and vigour and make the sufferer wholly a new being. It creates an appetite, makes one sleep and makes the weak strong. Do not forget that Vogeler's Curative Compound is made from the formula of a London physician, who has given years of study to same.

FABNER BRIGHTON, Fairfield, Iowa, oz a Ro = French scientific journals report that a small room renews its air through the walls in an hour, with twenty-five de- grees difference between the outdoor and inner temperature. An automobile truck is now em- ployed for moving iron safes. It has two propelling motors and a third ele- vates the safe to its place in the build- ing. It requires three men and six and a half minutes to place a safe on a seventh floor. Formerly it required eight men two and a half hours. It is reported from Vienna that a resident of that place, named August Matitsch, has devised a lacemaking machine, which is said to produce lace which is indistinguishable from the hand-made article. Many attempts have, we believe, been made to con- struct such a machine, but heretofore without success. It is now believed, however, that a machine has been de- vised which will be practically suc- cessful, and will supersede hand labor in this work. One of the German electrical papers recently described an electrical plant in Norway for the manufacture of turf coal. It is stated that about fifty tons of turf are treated daily. The plant consists of twelve retorts, or furnaces, in which the heat is produced electri- cally. Turf which has previously been vressed to free it from the greater parts of its moisture is distilled in these furnaces, producing a number of by-products, as well as a very pure turf charcoal, which may be used as a sub- stitute for charcoal of wood, or for pit coal. The by-products are a gas suit- able for heater purposes, a tar residue from which ammonium sulphate and methylacohol are obtained, a gas oil and some paraffine. An ingenious device is now success- fully used in France by which the speed of a train may be seen at any moment by the engineer. It consists of a centrifugal pump driven by one of the locomotive axles, which sends wafer from the tender into a small cy- linder. There the water raises a pis- ton ggainst the pressure of a spring, and moves up or down in proportion to the speed of the train. An auto- matic registering device records the varying speed, so that its rate may be read at any moment hy the engine- driver, or engineer, as we call him in this country. This device is also a safety appliance, for when the speed rises-above a fixed limit the piston acts upon a lever, which throws on the air brakes. The fire-resisting qualities of con- crete, when enforced with steel, as used in modern factory construction, were recentlys tested in a fire occurring in a large New Jersey manufacturing plant. The walls, which were four stories high and 150 feet long, were built entirely of concrete, strength- ened by embedded steel, the floors and columns being of similar construction. The fire started in a wooden elevator shaft and burned this and a few wooden stairways and the roof, but owing to the absence of inflammable material it never became a very “hot fire.” With the exception of the de- struction of a panel or two in the floors, where particularly heavy loads Were concentrated, and the burning of the roof, which was entirely of wood, no damage was done to the building. How Convicts Kill Time. It is at once interesting and ‘pathetic to go through the cells of the Eastern Penitentiary and to note the object which, with tedious pains, the prison- ers have made to while the time away. Here a mantel will be hung with a lambrequin, elaborately fringed, the fine knots and delicate patterns of the threads comparing witli the work of the French lacemakers. The lambre- quin is of an odd blue hue, and the visitor is told that it is made of an old pair of prison trousers. On a little gilt bracket is a small stuffed animal. The bracket, so delicately turned, is of newspapers pasted together and gilded, and the animal is a rat, caught in a home made trap, stuffed with rags, and with pieces of chewing gum, col- ored with shoe blacking, for its eyes. A wall is completely covered with a really artistic decoration of reeds, on which are perched at least 200 birds, each accurately colored and drawn. There are also numberless checker boards and sets of chessmen that, in the delicacy of their inlay work and in the intricacy of their carving, would do honor to the craftsmen of the Orient.— Philadelphia Record. The Disadvantages of Heroism. It would be a good thing if in our public schools courses in heroism to teach our boys and girls that, after all, while heroism is a fine thing and a great thing, it is a most uncomforta- ble thing, and that possibly, on the whole, the best and most lasting work that is accomplished in life comes from a steady application of one’s best en- ergies to a noble purpose, meeting with honest and patient effort the emergen- cies and vexations of daily life, and holding true to the middle course which assures success without bring- ing notoriety A fixed purpose to do well that which one has to do will in the end bring laurels of more per- manent value to the world at large) and to the unheralded hand that achieves its purpose, than those which are even worthily bestowed upon -the brow of him who avails himself of an unusual chance in an abnormal fash- fon.—Harper’'s Weekly. .

Weather and Wages Are the Only Dis- turbing Element in 'the Bus- iness Situation, R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says: Weather and wages continue the only seriously disturbing factors in the business situation. FEx- cessive moisture and low temperature’ made the crop outlook more uncer- tain and much depends on a continu- ance of prosperity in the agricultural section. On the other hand, record- bréaking distribution of pay in the Pittsburg region accelerated retail trade, while resumption of woolen and other mills added largely to the ac- tive force. Transporting lines con- tinue to make splendid exhibits, rail- way earnings for the first week of May exceeding those of a year ago by 6.2 per cent. and surpassing the same week’s earnings in 1900 by 19.9 per cent. Pig iron production attained a new record for the month of April at 1,503,326 tons, and the weekly capacity of furnaces in blast on May 1, was 325,064 tons, far surpassing all previous high water marks, but con- sumption easily keeps pace, furnace stocks showing a decrease of about 10,000 tons during April to March. Quotations continue to vary widely, according to date of delivery, and there is less spot business owing to scanty supplies and to the growing tendency of consumers to place orders for future delivery. Rails and struc. tural supplies are ordered freely for delivery next year. Footwear man- ufacturers at the east report an in- creased volume of orders from west- ern jobbers, but wholesalers in the principal eastern centers are placing fall contracts. Retailers are only sending moderate duplicate orders for summer goods. Sole leather is quiet. Hides again secured a moderate ad- vance in prices, both for domestic and foreign. In the dry goods market there is evidence of increased buying for fall and next spring, but only small supplementary orders for the present season. Cold weather has retarded jobbing trade at many points. Do- mestic trade in cotton goods is steady, with supplies in strong hands, but export business is dull. More liberal deliveries of woolen goods are report- ed. The best demand is for staple lines of men’s wear, and medium grades of fancy woolens. ‘While it is generally agreed that there has been much improvement in the win- ter wheat States since the opening of the month, prices became somewhat firmer upon the publication of the official report of condition on May 1, Exports for 10 months of the crop year assure the heaviest outgo ever recorded, even if the last two months make poor exhibits. For ‘the past week exports were 3,499,764 bushels, flour included, against 4,023,248 bush- els a year ago. Corn advanced on higher receipts and reports of slow progress in planting. ' Failures for the week number 228 in the United States, against 177 last year, and 17 in Canada, against 19 a year ago. An old statute has been revived in Vienna prohibiting householders tak- ing in lodgers’or boarders without po: lice permission. 0 the armies. How Buenos Ayres Gets War News. It is not quite clear why the city of Buenos Ayres should take a keener interest in the Boer war than any other places not immediately con- cerned. This is evidently the case, since the leading journal, the Prensa, has seen fit to make special arrange- ments by means of which the public is informed at a moment's notice of any notable event in the fortunes of A high tower is part of the edifice in which the Prensa is printed and published, and the top of the tower is used as a lighthouse, { whence events are flashed upon the world by means of colored fires. Thus a British victory is at once pro- claimed by the appearance of a yel- low light, and a Boer ‘success may be read in a brilliant green flame.
