DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED -
Pe-ru-na Creating a National Sensation in the Cure
of Chronic Ailments of the Kidneys.
Major T. H. Mars, of the First Wis-
consin Cavalry Regiment, writes from
1425 Dunning street, Chicago, Ill., the
following letter: .
“For years I suffered with catarrh
of the kidneys contracted in the
army. Medicine did not help me any
until a comrade who had beenhelped
by Peruna advised me to tryit. I
bought some at once, and soon found
blessed relief. Ikept taking il four
months, and am now well and strong
and feel better than Ihave done for
the past twenty years, thanks to
Peruna.”’—T, H. Mars.
Mr. John Vance, of Hartford City,
Ind. says: ‘My kidney trouble is much
better. I have improved so much that
everybody wants to know what medi-
cine I am using. I recommend Peruna
to everybody, and some have com-
menced to use it. The folks all say
that if Dr. Hartman’s medicine cures
me it must be great.”—John Vance.
Mr. J. Brake, of Petrolea, Ontario,
Canada, writes: “Four years ago I
had a severe attack of Bright’s dis-
ease. which brought me so low the
doctor said nothing more could be
done for me. 1 began to take Peruna
and Manalin, and in three months
I was a well man, and have con-
tinued so ever since.’’—J. Brake.

Peruna stimulates the kidneys to ex-
crete from the blood the accumulating
poison, and thus prevents the convul-
sions which are sure to follow if the
poisons are allowed to remain. It
gives great vigor to the heart's action
and digestive system, both of which
are apt to fail rapidly in this disease.
Peruna cures catarrh of the kidneys
simply because it cures catarrh wher-
ever located.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
istactory results from the use of Pe-
runa, 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.

Color Photography Invented Again.
A Swiss amateur photographer, M.
Adolphe Gartner, residing at Berne,
has, it is said, discovered the. secret
of color photography after a number
of vears of experiments. The inven-
tor takes his photographs on glass,
porcelain and paper, and in any color;
the best results, however, being ob-
tained from blue, red and yellow. His
productions on glass are veritable
pictures, being true to nature in every
detail. Even the shades of coloring
in a rose are easily distinguished in
the photograph. The photograph of a
landscape, viewed from a distance, re-
sembles a painting. Some of the bol-
der colors give better results than
the quieter ones, and Mr. Gartner is
at present occupied in remedying this
partial defect. The secret lies in the
“bath,” and in the developing pro-
cess, for the photos, it is stated, are
taken with an ordinary camera. Many
continental firms are taking a great
interest in the discovery.
Much Marked Note.
Mrs. Sarah Knowles recently receciv-
ed in change an interesting five-dollar
note, No. 513,624, series of 1899, says
the New York Press. It is covered
on both sides with the names of per-
sons who have handled it. On the face
is stamped “Moon Kader Sultan, Sing-
apore,” in blue ink, the design includ-
ing a number of Indian characters.
Underneath is the trademark of “Gor-
don & Co., Sydney, N. S. W.” Then
follows a signature, “Manuel Prieto,
San ‘Salvador, Salvador, C. A.” and
the date, “June 7, 1900.” “Solon Leon,
Graband, Prag-Praha,” is the fourth
mark. The fifth is written in so large
a hand that it covers the others:
“Louise Moreau, Avenue du Troca-
dero, 7. Paris.” On the back of the
note is this: “Paid by Fred Neimeyer
to Ella Larkin, Washington, October,
28, 1901.”
A gentleman said to a waiter when
eating some hare; “Waiter, is this
hare ‘three weeks old?” “1 don’t
know, sir; I have only been here a
fortnight,” returned the waiter.
Dark Hair
““ I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor
for a great many years, and al-
though I am past eighty years of
age, yet I have not a gray hair in
my head.”
Geo. Yellott, Towson, Md.
We mean al! that rich,
dark color your hair used
to have. If it’s gray now,
no matter; for Ayers
Hair Vigor always re-
stores color to gray hair.
Sometimes it makes the
hair grow very heavy and
long; and it stops falling
of the hair, too.

UoMicted with Thompsow’s Eye Water
Woman and Plow.
An Iowa traveler back from the new
northwest frontier relates some of the
hardships of life there. He says: “I
saw a colony of Galicians in Sas-
katchewan, and they gave me the most
extraordinary exhibition of human pa-
tience and fortitude I ever beheld. I
saw from a dozen to fifteen women
hitched two and two on, an 18-inch
breaking- plow, and they marched
straight ahead through the tough
ground with that plow, tearing up five
acres a day on an average. There was
a man holding the plow. The work
these people did was as effective as
codld have been done by horses or
oxen. The women seemed to take to
their hard labor as a matter of course.
They are very cheerful over it. I am
told. that scores of these women who
draw plows all day have vitality
enough left to dance through the
greater part of the night.”
_ The District’s Flag.
In response to a suggestion that a
flag should be adopted for the Dis-
trict of Columbia, corresponding to
the various State flags, District Com-
missioner MacFarland said the other
day: “The American flag is the flag
of the District of Colombia. It has
never had any other. The States
have State flags, some of which are
very much older than the United
States flag. But the national flag
seems to be all sufficient for the na-
tional capital, which is its special
home. People in the district have
never been tempted to divide al-
Jegiance between two flags, and no
such temptation should ever be of-
fered.
“Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Breast
Tea,” writes Mr. F. Batsch, of Horicon,
Wis., “enabled me to get rid of an obsti-
nate cough; we feel very grateful to the
discoverer of this medicine.”
Used Wrong Stamp.
In the Prussian town of Rappin, in
the province of Brandenburg, there is
an official, the overlapping of whose
duties has recently produced a re-
markable complication. In one ca-
pacity he is inspector of butchers’
meat, and in another he has occas-
ionally to place the official seal on
marriage certificates. On one oc-
casion he used the wrong stamp, and
instead of sealing the nuptial con-
tract he certified that the spouses
were—free from trichinosis. The
high court of Berlin has had to be set
in motion to rectify the error.
May Be Made a British Colonel.
A movement is on foot in London to
make President Roosevelt a colonel in
a British line regiment. A precedent
for such action is being inquired into.
It is a custom among European powers
to confer honorary commissions on
monarchs of other nations. Thus King
Edward is colonel of a German regi-
ment and Emperor William is the nom-
inal commander of a British regiment.
A Serious Joke.
Mark Twain protests that his letter
to the Secretary of the Treasury was
entirely scrious, and that he con-
giders the coal strike in no sense a
laughing matter. . “Some of us” he
added, “may find consolation in the
thought that afier we die we may be
sufficiently warm, but 1 don't see
much prospect of our being over
heated in this world.”

Trim the Hogs’ Hoof.
Hoofs of old hogs frequently need
trimming. If they become too long
filth is liable to accumulate and the
animal is not able to stand up straight
on its feet. It is very easy to trim the
hogs’ hoofs and the herd should be in-
spected every six months or so with
this in view.
{Ferm Topics}
Use of Fodder Shredders.
Fodder shredders have been found
equal to cutters in preparing ensilage
for the silo. According to the experi-
ence of those who use shredders for
the purpose mentioned the ensilage is
finer and a larger quantity can be
packed in the silo. It also keeps well
and is more highly relished by stock.
Animal Physiology.
«It is quite essential to Dear in mind
the fact that a horse differs very much
from a cow or steer in its digestive
capacity when planning the feed. A
horse needs a condensed ration; a
cow or ox can handle one considerably
more bulky. This is due to the fact
that the horse has one stomach to
handle all its feed while the ox has
three stomachs that assist in prepar-
ing the food before it reaches the
fourth, or true, stomach. A horse at
heavy work is adapted to a good.
heavy, grain ration, with hay.
Stable Sanitation,
Whitewash will kill and hold all
germs with which it comes in con-
tact. It has the effect of making the
barn or inclosure lighter and much
more wholesome for the animals con-
tained in it. Whitewash can be put
on with a good spray pump made for
that purpose, or with a brush. On
rough walls, the material should be
very thick, especially for the first coat.
The interior of any building sprayed
several times during the season will
be much less liable to spread germs
in the milk and other substances.

splendid sunny dusting place in win-
ter, and increases the size of the house,
as the space above this dusting apart-
ment can be covered with sand and
litter and be used for scratching pur-
poses.—New England Homestead.
Fattening Pigs Profitably.
In order to get the best and quickest
returns from hogs, begin fattening
the pigs as soon as they are born. I
raised pure-blooded Poland-Chinas of
medium size, and never attempted to
keep more than I could handle well.
My brood sows were kept in a thrifty
condition. They were not fat, but are
far from being poor. I fed a little
whole corn and a slop made of rye
meal and milk.
When the pigs begin to try to eat
(and they will do this when only a few
days old), I fix a place where they
could go and eat by themselves. I
first gave them skimmilk and then
gradually added rye meal, increasing
the amount as the pig grows. As soon
as they are large enough to eat it, I’
add a little corn, but I find that I can
make the most rapid growth with rye
meal if I have plenty of milk to go
with it. If the meal is fed alone, it is
in my opinion too concentrated. I
raise two litters of pigs each year.
They generally average from 275 to
800 pounds at seven months old.—G. W.
Hurd, in Orange Judd Farmer.
Low Vitality in Sheep.
It is surprising to see how easily
sheep will die. Not that we have met
with many losses, but with a few that
are unaccountable. I never knew until
taught by experience that a sheep
(mutton bred and broad backed) could
lie down, roll over on its back and be
utterly unable to get up, seemingly
through lack of “gumption,” and aec-
tually die within three hours. We
have lost a few that way, some before
shearing. I could understand why
this might occur, because the wool
would naturally prevent getting up,
but when a shorn ewe did it I was a
surprised shepherd.
The probable cause for its getting on
its back was ticks, at least that is
what I surmise, though there was no
flock in Minnesota more thoroughly
dipped than ours was last fall; still,
when shearing we found a few of the
pests. We shall dip twice this year.
At the first opportunity the flock will
be dipped, ewes and lambs, and that,
too, most thoroughly, and they will
get a second cleansing in the fall. We
hope in this way to avoid the losses.
But the fact remains that the sheep
dies easily. They make me think of
the low vitality described by the late
Dr. Dickson, who said that the native
India man when taken ill lest all reso-
lution and courage, took to his mud
couch in his rude hut, turned his face
to the wall, clasped his hands, said it
was “Kismet,” and “let her go Gal-
lagher.”—IFarm, Stock and Home.

When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, ‘ .
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, !
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is—
Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of "the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded.

them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle—Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of

ers sometimes offer to increase their profits.

WHITE PASS RAILROAD.
Its Construction a Wonderful Feat of
Engineering.
The building of this remarkable rail-
way over the White Pass was one of
the most wonderful feats of engineer-
ing in the history of the world. The
first 20 miles is a continuous upgrade
of nearly 200 feet to the mile. It cost
$60,000 to the mile, a total of $1,200,
000. The construction from the sum-
mit to Bennett, B. C., has an average
downgrade of 2 per cent, or 105 feet
to the mile. This part of the road
is 22 miles in length, and cost $45,000
to the mile, making a total of $990,
000. From Bennett to White Horse,
the 70-mile stretch cost over $19,000
to the mile or a total of $1,378,000,
bringing the total cost of the 112 miles,
with equipment, ready for business, to
$5,405,000. Rt was started in April,
1898, and completed in June, 1900.
This is the northernmost railway on
the American continent. It laps one of
the richest mineral districts upon the
glohe—the upper Yukon basin, which,
in less than five years, has produced
enough gold to give more than a dol-
lar to every man, woman and child in
the United States, if distributed per
capita. Up to the present time the
principal revenue of the road has been
derived from hauling freight, but the
wonderful scenic advantages of the
route are beginning to attract the at-
tention of tourists.
Prof. Latham, in his ethnological
dietetic indifference. Effete nations
lose their alimentary conscience, and
at last become omnivorous like pigs
and Chinamen. According to that
theory, regeneration ought to begin
with the revival of dietetic scruples,
and in Chile, where the Spanish race
has almost recovered the physical
prestige of its ancestors, fastidious-
ness in food matters has actually
made progress enough to astonish Cas-
tilian immigrants.
the Valparaiso provision market treats
adulteration mongers as a bank com-
troller would treat a forger, and a
pickle vender, trying to improve the
color, of his cucumbers with verdigris,
runs a risk of expiating his sin in a
chain gang. Honey peddlers often ex-
hibit hive combs as black as pitch,
but can be relied upon to shun glu-
cose, if they value their license. Per-
haps nowhere else in America is
slaughterhouse stock so carefully
selected.
g And that sanitary rigorism
1s something more than science en-
forced upon a semi-barbarous race:
hygienic instincts assert themselves
among the working classes of the pop-
ulation, and the discovery of cattle
fed on brewery swill would be apt te
prcvoke a mob riot.
Buried on Hecrseback.
Lord Dacre, who died for the Lan-
castarians at Towton, England, in
1461, directed that if he were Killed
in battle his favorite var horse
should be buried in the same grave
with him. According to his wishes,
when ‘his interment took place in
Saxon churchyard af.er the battle a
tremendous grave was dug and in it
the warrior was buried. seated up-
right on his horse. For centuries re-
flecticns were cast upon the accuracy
of this tradition, but a few years ago,
while excavations for new graves
were being n e, the report was
verified by the discovery of the skele-
tens of a horse and rider.
