Spee date of January 10, 1897, Dr.
Hartman received the following letter:
“My wife had been suffering from a com-
plication of diseases for the past twenty-
five years. ’
“Her case had baffled the skill of some
of the most noted physicians. One of her
worst troubles was chronic constipation of
several years’ standing.
“She also was passing through that most
critical period in the life of a woman—
change of life. In June, 1895, I wrote to
you about her case. You advised a course
of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once
commenced, and have to say it completely
cured her. She firmly believes that she
would have been dead only for these won-
derful remedies.
“About the same time I wrote you about
my own case of catarrh, which had been
of twenty-five years’ standing. At times I
twas almost past going. I commenced to
fuse Peruna according to your instructions
jand continued its use for about a year,
and it bas completely cured me.
| ““ Your remedies do 'all that you
claim for them, and even more. Ca-
Carrh cannot exist where Peruna is
taken according to directions. Suc-
cess to you and your remedies. ?’

ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION.
The Greatest Distance to Which It
May Be Sent at Present.
The statement is made by Alton D.
Adams, on “The Physical Limits of
Electric Power Transmission,” that
“electrical energy may he transmitted
around the world if the live voltage is
unlimited. This follows from the law
that a given power may be transmitted
to any distance with constant effici-
ency and a fixed weight of ccnductors,
provided the voltage is increased di-
Unfortu-
nately, the physical conditions of pres-
ent known insulating devices do not
permit of such Utopian transmission.
Distances of 150 miles are now prac-
tically spanned by power transmissicn
circuits at from 40,000 to 60,000 volts.
This, however, represents the limit of
present construction. One of the next
steps will be the employment of an
individual pole line for each wire of a
transmitting circuit, as at voltage ex-
ceeding the present, which may easily
be attained by known methods, the
sparking between wires located on the
same pole, even though spaced seven
. or eight feet apart, would be prohibi-
tive. 3
The area of the peat bogs in Ire-
land has been estimated at nearly
3,00,000 acres, with an average thick-
ness of 15 feet. At half the heating
value of ccal these deposits are equiv-
alent to 2,500,000,000 tons of coal.

MR. AND MRS. J. 0. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO,
Atkinson says, after five years’ experience
with Peruna: .
¢* I will ever continue to speak a
good word for Peruna., Inmy rounds
as a travelling man I am a walking
advertisement for Peruna, and have
induced many people during the
past year to use Peruna with the
most satisfactory results. Iam still
cured of catarrh.’?
John O. Atkinson.
Box 272. Independence, Mo.
When old agé comes on catarrhal dis-
cases «come also. Systemic catarrh is al-
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become so
indispensable to old people. Peruna is
their safeguard. Peruna is the only rem-
ady yet devised that meets these cases ex-
actly.
Such cases canubt be treated locally;
nothing but an effective, systemic remedy
could cure them. "his is exactly what Pe-
runa is. :
If you do not derive prompt and satisfac-
tory results from the use of Peruna, write
At once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full stato-
ment of your case, and he will be pleased
to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Great Britain's Income Tax.
For the year 1901 only 15 persons
in all Great Britain paid tax on in-
comes exceeding $250,000, and the
grand total of these 15 incomes was
$7,500,000. As the income tax asses-
sors make their inquest for large in-
comes very searching the fact is es-
tablished that the 15 richest Britons
are worth $187,500,000. This assumes
that their aggregate wealth® yields
them 4 per cent per apnum. There are
at least two American citizens-—John
D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie
—each of whom is worthh more than
the richest British subjects combined.
And there are scores of American cit-
izens whose incomes exceed the $500,-
000 a year which is the average in-
come of Britain’s first fifteen.
Mushrooms generally consist of 90
per cent. water, but the remaining 10
per cent. is more nutritious than
bread.
Each year about $50,000 is expended
in sprinkling the streets of London
with sand, to preveat horses from slip-
ping. :

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Holiday Business Main Feature—in-
dustrial Trade Interrupted by
Annual Stock Taking.
R. G. Dur & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says: Trade and specula-
tion experienced the customary holi-
day quiet, except in Christmas goods,
which sold freely, many packing and
shipping departments being still en:
gaged on this class of work, which
could not be completed at the speci-
fied time. Industrial undertakings
are interrupted in many cases by the
taking of inventories while other
plants are closed because fuel cannot
be obtained. Orders still come for-
ward freely, and the new year will
open with more business on the books
than ever before. Prices of commodi-
ties are firmly held by the steady
domestic demand, and there is. a good
export movement of the leading
staples. Railway earnings thus far
reported for the month of December
surpass last year’s by 5 per cent, and
those of 1900 by 11.6 per cent. Quiet
condition in the iron and steel in-
dustry, unaccompanied by any sign of
weakness, testify to the healthy tone
and suggest a bright outlook for the
coming year. Furnaces and mills will
extend the season of idleness beyond
the usnal time, not because orders are
lacking, but in order to accumulate a
moderate supply of coke. The situa-
tion in regard to shipments fron
Connellsville has not improved. A
very large amount of business will be
carried over into next year, probably
mere than in any previous season.
New contracts have come forward
more slowly of late, mainly because
of uncertainty as to date of delivery,
although there are prospective pur-
chasers who still anticipate better
terms in 1203. Foreign pig iron is of-
fered slightly below domestic guota-
tions, but neither imported nor home-
made iron is available for immediate
use in large quantities. Independent
steel mills claim that they are un-
able to pay present prices for billets,
which cose $31, or more, for early
shipment. Reports from the South
show a large increase in production,
as compared with any precedidg
year. The strongest department pf
thig industry appears to be steel
bars. New England shoe factories
are in full operation and have liberal
orders on hand. Quotations are firm.
Leather dealings have been restricted
less than usual by the holidays, shoe
manufacturers coming into the mar-
ket for large quantities of hemlock
sole. An unexpectedly favorable fea-
ture has appeared in the market for
cotton goods. After a long season of
stagnation in the export division, the
demand for China suddenly became
considerable. Domestic trade is lim-
ited to immediate requirements. In
woolen gcods there is a good de-
mand. Woolen and wovsted dress
goods are quiet but steady. Failures

United States, against 250 last year,
and 21 in Canada, compared with 23

OUR COTTON THE WORLD'S BEST.
Over $200,000,000 Worth of Cotton Ex-
ported Annually.
A Berlin dispatch tells of a pro|os-
ed “international cotton conference”
to be held in that capital for the pur-
pese of “encouraging cotton produc-
tion in Africa by England,
Germany and France” and other Euro-
pean manufacturing nations. The Lon-
don Times reports the Lancashire cot-
ton manufacturers as eager to find a
now source of supply for their raw ma-
terial. British agents have been re-
cently reported in Egypt studying the
cotton-growing possibilities of that
country. In India cotton is grown,
with success—such as it is. Its staple
is too short for it to become a seri-
ous competitor with our Southern
products. England’s earliest attempt
to find a substitute for our cotton was
during the Lancashire famine caused
by our Civil War, when Southern ports
were blockaded. It was then that In-
dia became an experimental cotton
country. John Bright, ridiculing the
Tory idea of that time that Lancashire
looms could be fed with Surat (India)
cotton told of a Manchester minister
who prayed the Lord to send cotton for
its factories and was interrupted by
an earnest voice from the pews: “But
not Surat cotton, O Lord!” Indian
cotton still remains an inferior article.
Probably England will continue for in-
definite years to come to look to these
United States as she does now, for the
bulk of the over $200,000,000 worth of
raw cotton which she annually buys
from abroad—and the rest of Europe
likewise.
Coal at a Cent a Pound Feared.
With the advent of the twentieth
week of the Pennsylvania strike do-
mestic consumers of hard coal find
themselves paying $12 for the ton.
In some of the outlying towns dealers
are demanding $14, and have very lit-
tle to sell even at that price. Such
places as - Yonkers, New Rochelle,
Newark and Montclair are entirely
without anthracite coal, and bitumin-
ous prices are geing up every day. In
New York Some dealers say that coal
at a cent a pound is one of the winter
possibilities.
A fine ostrich is calculated to yield

41902-1903 is 1,552,826,000 pounds and
Russian Beet Sugar Surplus.
According to the report of the com-
mittee of ministers, the quantity of
beet sugar to be placed on the Rus-
sian home market for the season of
the intangible reserve 180,560,000
pounds. On the basis of particulars
given out by the managers of the
excise revenues for the term recently
ended, and taking into consideration
the area of plantations, the harvest
and quality of the beet-sugar roots
during the last three pericds and the
existing surplus of sugar at the differ-
ent factories, the total output of sugar
for the above-mentioned period is es-
timated at 1,155,584,000 pounds or
nearly 650,000 tons.
