Mrs. Emma Stolt, of Appleton, Wisconsin. “4 neighbor advised me to use Peruna., 1 began to tmprove at once.” MRS. EMMA STOLT. Mrs. Emma Stolt, 1069 Oneida St., Ap- pleton, Wis., writes: “Peruna has done me a great deal of good since 1 began taking it, and I am al- ways glad to speak a good word for it. “Three years ago I was in a wretched con- dition with backaches, bearing down pains, and at times was so sore and lame that 1 could not move about.. 1 had in- flammation and irritation, and although 1 used different remedies they did me no good. “A neighbor who had been using Pe- runa advised me to try it, and 1 am glad that T did. I began to improve as soon as I took it and I felt much better. “J thank you for your fine remedy. It is certainly a godsend to sick women.’’ Catarrh of the Internal Organs. : Miss Theresa Bertles, White Church, Mo., writes: : “I suffered with catarrh of the stomach bowels and internal organs.

It was the famous Dutch philoso- pher Leeuwenhock, discoverer of bac- teria, who first traced out the history uf the flea, and found that it was subject fo a parasite. This was a species of mite, which preyed on it in the chrysalis stage, and the dis- covery led to Swift's well-known lines: Great fleas have lesser fleas upon their backs to bite 'em. In a recent number of the Jour- nal of Hygiene Andrew Balfour gives an account of the various phases in the development of a protozoan para- site found by him in the-guts of a species of flea. The parasites were found in fleas of both sexes, and in those which had not been fed with infected blood as well as in those that had.

There is not the customary com- plaint of midsummer dullness in gen- eral trade channels. The demand for seasonable fabrics is rapidly de- pleting stocks that threatened to be carried over, Brisk retail trade is by more prompt collections Many cities that were slow to respond to the better feeling now send satisfac- tory reports. Jobbers and wholesalers are receiv- ing liberal orders for fall and winter merchandise, and interior buyers are active in the primary markets. Manu- facturing returns tell of large orders on hand, and heavy production dur- ing the first half of the year. Lower prices for pig iron were due to the larger - output and more prompt deliveries that reduced the premiums paid for early shipments. Consumption has not appreciably di- minished, although a few of the steel mills are closed for repairs. Despite some furnaces rendered idle for the same reascn, the -total num- ber in blast increased six during June. Quiet accompanied prevail in the primary markets for cotton goods, but the mills are fully occupied. There is nop rospect of easier terms, There is no prospect of easier terms, ness under contract unless extensive cancellations are received. The strength of the market is due to the statistical position, as buyers are compelled to wait longer for de- liveries than ever before in the his- tory of the industry. It is also noted that requests are urgent for earlier forwarding than the date under contract. showing the light stocks in other than first hands. There is no prospect vf relief during the balance of this year at least. Woolens are not active. New lines of men’s wear are being opened daily without attracting uch attention. Little development is anticipaed be- fore he end of the month. A little increase is noted in the demand for hides. Further improve: ment is anlicipated. It is now the season of desirable shorthaired do- mestic hides, upon which full quota- tions are demanded. conditions PITTSBURG.

TO BURN COAL ASHES. A solution made by dissolving one pound of common salt and two ounces of oxalic acid in one gallon of water will prove very effective in burning up coal ashes without pro- ducing clinkers, in stove or furnace. Make a mixture of three parts ashes and - one part coal, then thoroughly moisten the mass with the solution and throw into the fire pot. A fine white residue results. Commercial oxalic acid can be procured from chemical houses in bulk at twelve cents per pound, and at the drug store at about twenty-five cents per pound.—Indiana Farmer. WATERMELONS FOR THE NORTH, It is useless to plant melons be- fore the soil is settled and warm, and danger from frost is past. Late in May or early in June is the time in the North. The New Hampshire Experiment Station recommends these varieties for the Northern gar- dens: Cole's Early.—Fruit medium sized, round, slightly oval, marked with ir- regular stripes of dark and light green. Flesh red, solid, and very sweet. Early and reliable. Rind brittle; seeds dark brown. One of the best varieties for New England culture. Boss.—A long, dark melon, very heavy for its size. Flesh solid, and of the best quality. Seeds black. A good all-around melon for the North. Black-Eyed Susan.—A new South- ern melon that promises well for Northern culture. Shape oblong to long, light strippings, thin, tough rind; quite early, solid scarlet flesh of extra quality. Seeds white, with two dark spots at the sprout end. AN EASY POST PULLER. Just take a log chain and fasten it to the post near the ground. Then take a board about three feet long ! and saw a little notch on the top so that the chain don’t slip off. Then hitch your horse to the end of the chain.—Geo. Hammel, in The Epito- mist, WHY POTATOES RUN OUT. It is comparatively only a few years that potatoes have been largely grown for market. It is possible that under any conditions, the plants grown, as they are, from buds or eyes, would perpetuate the weak- nesses of the parent stems, and thus tend to degeneration. But the evil has been greatly increased by the blight and rot diseases, and by the ravages of the potato bug. Whatever injures the leaves of a potato plant lessens it vitality and destroys its value for seed. It is hardly possible to entirely escape some injury to potato foliage. Every plant affected produces seed that is less vigorous, and as the beetle selects the less thrifty plants to deposit its eggs, the injury rapidly increases until a large part of the crop is made worthless for seed purposes. It is impossible to select the best seed potatoes from the bin. It can only be done by going through the field and marking the most productive plants as the crop is harvested.—Grace Eby. THE MOST PROFITABLE COW. The cow that gives the largest mess of milk is not always the*most profitable one in the herd. The herd man who accomplishes an extraor- dinary amount of work in a brief period and then fails to enjoy an- other such period for a long time never is of as much value to himself or anyone else as the steady, persist- ent worker who accomplishes a reasonable amount of work in a given period and then keeps right at: jt" all the time. This - is ture with the cow. She is hired to work for her owner and she should be expected to do a reasonable amount of work. It is not what she can perform in a week or a month that determines her value. His what she is able to do in a year or lifetime. The cow has the advantage over the ‘hired man on the average farm. She can fail to do her work for her owner and he is quite likely to know nothing about it. She may even give a very large mess of very poor milk for a short period and he will be convinced that she is one of the best cows on the farm. She will Jater cut down the quantity and he forgets to keep account of that period when she gave the large amount. Keeping steadily at a thing usually produces the best results, and many of our best dairy cows are those which do not give the large amount for a brief period but give a fair quantity and keep it. up for a long time.—Southwestern Agriculturist.

Fitzgerald. ** The Secret of Good Fish-Lines. In the proper care of lines one is apt to balk. It is ‘too much trouble to unwind and dry. every time one returns from a hard day’s fishing, and the most we do is to rewind parts to test if any kinks are there. A silk unvarnished line is the worst to kink, so that it i's always advisable after the season is over to take the lines from the reels and wind them on a large wheel. A careful and pru- dent brother angler has devised a unique plan of winding his lines around a bicycle wheel, after the tire has been removed. Placing the bi- cycle upside down he works the pedals and winds it through an oiled rag. This softens the lines and keeps them moist and pliable, as well as prevents cracking. I refer to the oiled trout and salmon lines—plain silk or linen need only to be well dried before winding. Even the best and most expensive lines become weak and worthless through want of proper care and attention—it is impossible to prevent mildew or rot, unless a line is put away for the winter in ship-shape order. The sloven who throws his flies, leaders and lines all in a heap, with the idea of arranging them on arrfval at the river, finds himself very miserable and ill-tempered—especially when in the company of friends who are kept waiting till his tackle is fit for work. —From ‘On the Care of Tackle,” by J.ouis Rhead, in The Outing Maga- zine. A Remarkable Fish Find. Curious articles have frequently heen found in the stomachs of the various fish caught in Florida waters, but it remained for Ephraim W. Jones, a negro fisherman, who lives in the Styx district, to discover one of the most remarkable “finds.” Recently, while fishing off the pier, Jones caught a good sized kingfish. Upon cleaning the fish he found a pair of ladies’ rimless eyeglasses at- tached to a delicate gold chain. The glasses were in a fine state of pres- ervation. Mr. Emerson D. Prescott, superintendent of the Archeological Department at Washington, who has been a guest at the Royal Poinciana, heard of Mr. Jones’ find and bought the glasses from him. Mr. Prescott left for Washington recently.—Palm Beach News. The Great African Railroad. The Cape to Cairo Railroad now extends northward from Capetown a distance of 2100 miles, a regular tram service being operated over the road. While it has not yet begun to show any profits, traffic is increasing, some 3000 tons of zinc ore alone being handled monthly. It is stated that during the current year large amounts of rolling stock and equip- ment will be ordered, as also will a great deal of building material for the extension of the line northward.
