Is Pe-ru-na Useful for Catarrh? Should a list of tho ingredients of Pe- runa be submitted to any medical ex- ps of whatever school or nationality, e would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them was of une doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis- eases, and had stood the test of many years’ experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT- EVER. Peruna is composed of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputation of ifs own in the cure of some phase of catarrh. Peruna brings to the home the COM- BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat- ment of catarrhal diseases; brings te the home the scientific skill and knowl- edge of the modern pharmacist; and last but notleast, brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, inthe useofcatarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis- ease which is very provalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been fold that their case is one of Goran catarrh, It may be ofthe n stomach or some other There is no doubt as to lenny iT ture of the dissase. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to ofiye them, That doctor has tried to prescribe for them, BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF. Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is | that this remedy can be supplied direct- ly to the people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it. No other household remedy so uni- versally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full Inspection of the critics. Electric Polisher. The increasing demand for high- grade fioor polishing has resulted in the introduction of an electric ma- chine which is very efficient for use on large surfaces of tile, mosaic and other flcors of similar construction.

One said he once dropped his, but took it up again at the request of his father. Another said he never told anybody what his middle name was, and three admitted that they regarded theirs as a nuisance. Then they wondered when middle names originated and what good they were anyhow. Every person must have remarked the current fad of writing out the middle name in full. This fashion sprang up only a few years ago, and has been much affected by some peo- ple. Until it became the vogue, a person with a middle name would have been laughed at for writing it out in full, but fashion justifies everything. Some people, desirous to be differentiated from the common herd even divide their names in the middle—as G. Washington Sykes, W. Shakespeare Boggs or T. Jefferson Jones. This shows that the owner knows how to wear a middle name without being tripped up by it, as a militia officer sometimes is by his sword. ; Middle Names More Common Now. But the question recurs when did middle names become so popular and #hat good are they? There is reason to believe they are far more common now than they were a few generations ago. In a list published in The News a few days ago of pensioners of the Revolutionary War who died in In- diana, out of 810, there were only twelve with a middle name or initial. Any one company that served in the War of the Rebellion would show more double names than this, and any page in the city directory would show two or three times as many. Benjamin Harrison had no middle name, but the company which he raised and commanded as captain be- fore he became colonel contained fifty-five officers and privates with middle names—mnearly five times as many as there were among the 810 Revolutionary pensioners who once lived in Indiana. History seems to show that middle names were not common during the Revolutionary period nor for some time after. Few of the prominent soldiers or statesmen of that period had double names. Of generals there were George Washington, Anthony Vayne, Henry ' Knox, Arthur St. Clair, Francis Marion, John Sullivan, Nathaniel Greene, Artemus Ward, Is- racl Putnam, Rufus Putnam-—each having but one name. The same was true of nearly all the commissioned officers in the Revolutionary army. Presidents Without Middie Names. Of the thirteen presidents of the Continental Congress, between 1775 and 1788, not one had a middle name. Of the fifty-five signers of the Dec- laration of Independence only three had middle names. The bold signa- ture of John Hancock would not be as effective if he had had a middle -initial, and that of Benjamin Frank- lin appears more dignified without one. Among the 350 delegates to the Continental Congress, from 1774 to 1788, only twenty-five had middle names. In the first Congress under the con- stitution, held in 1789, out of fifty- nine Representatives only five had middle names. One of these, a mem- ber from South Carolina, bore the singular, name of John Baptist Ashe. Another, elected first Speaker of the House, was Frederick Augustus Con- rad Muhlenberg, of Pennsylvania. A third was John Peter Gabriel Muh- lenberg, also from Pennsylvania. Both of these men, by the way, were preachers, both quit the pulpit to enter the Revolutionary army, and both achieved distinction as soldiers and statesmen. Their father, also a clergyman, was of German birth, and they got their middle names from the prevailing custom in Germany. Few Among Karly Statesmen. Of our eight Presidents from 1789 to 1840, only one had a middie name, and of the fifty-three persons who served as Cabinet officers under the five administrations of Washington, | Money in Frogs’ Legs. Thanks to the perseverance of a number of prospecting youngsters, residents of Haddington and .Over- brook may now have daily suppers of choie frogs’ legs. A veritable mine oO. frogs was discovered a week ago by members of a juvenile baseball team who were playing near Sixty- third and Market streets. A fly ball was knocked into a ditch, and the fielders who chased it found fully two dozen frogs holding a convention on the shore of the little stream. The game was stopped and the boys got busy. in the ditch with their Dbats. More than half a hundred frogs were captured in the first raid. They were made ready for the market by the voungsters, who had little trouble in selling them at fifty cents a dozen. Since the discovery the boys have been prospecting daily, and hundreds of frogs have been gathered in dur- ing the last few days. Unfortunately for the discoverers, the news hag spread, and now the frog fields have been‘invaded by so many youngsters that the price has been cut down.— Philadelphia Record. The fewest deaths occur in the} hour following meridian and mid- aight. ° J Few Men in Country's Early History Had Them--- A Sort of Hero Worship. - 22 -r La - Adams and Jefferson, only two had middle names. John Quincy Adams, elected in 1824, was the first Presi- dent with a middle name, and Wil- liam Henry Harrison, elected in 1840, was the second. The names of early statesmen like Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Edmund Ran- dolph, Albert Gallatin and others of that period, sound better without a middle name. Andrew Jackson, Ab- raham Lincoln, William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt belong to a later period, but they, too, were for- ‘tunate in not having been loaded down with a middle name that might have proved an incumbrance. So it seems quite clear that mid- dle names were far less common in this country during the Revolutionary period and for many years afterward than they are now. So they were in England. Up to comparatively re- cent times few of the great names in English literature or history were double, and it is fair to assume that they were no more common abong common people than they were among the celebrated. Such names as William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell, John Milton, Isaac New- ton, Francis Bacon, William Wads- worth, Charles Dickens, Robert Browning, John Bunyan, Thomas Carlyle, Daniel Defoe, William Pitt and many others of renown, would be handicapped in history by a mid- dle name or initial. What Does the Change Signify? Abraham Lincoln has been dead a little over forty years, and some of his namesakes are in evidence, as witness Abraham Lincoln Brick, of this State. We have alse George Washington Cromer, and the present Congress contains George Washing- ton Taylor, of Alabama; George Washington Prince and George Washington Smith, of Illinois; James Monroe Miller, of Kansas; Benjamin Franklin Howell, of New Jersey, and Andrew Jackson Barchfield, of Penn- sylvania. There has not been a Congress in the last fifty years that did not con- tain one or more members, some- times several, named after soldiers or statesmen of the Revolutionary period. Both armies during the Civil War contained hundreds of soldiers bearing names of the Revolutionary period. There is nothing discreditable in the kind of hero worship that leads parents to name a child after a great man whom they greatly admire, though it sometimes happens that the son, when he grows up, would prefer a different name. Napoleon Bona- parte Taylor, formerly an honored lawyer and judge of this city, and a very modest man, used to regret the name his parents had given him, and Andrew Jackson Barchfield, a mem- ber of the present Congress from Pennsylvania, is a red-hot Republi- can. But a large majority of middle names are given as a sort of annex or make-weight to the first name to preserve family names and tradi- tions. This also is a commendable motive, but why have middle names at all? From a practical point ot view they are superfluous, and that makes it all the stranger why they should have come into such general use in this practical, utilitarian and commercial age when the tendency is to shorten words and eliminate su- perfluities. Many a man who has had to write his name several hundred times a day has regretted the necessity of lifting his pen to write and dot the initial letter of a middle name. Prob- ably one reason why middle names have become so much more commor in modern times than they once were, is that for centuries the common law assumed that the full legal name of a person consisted of one Christiar name and surname. No legal impor- tance attached to a middle name. and if a person had one it was not a mis nomer, in legal parlance, to omit it in an indictment or pleading. This is no longer the rule of the law, but it was for a long time, and during that period middle names were almost unknown. Their gen- eral use in this eountry is of cem- paratively modern growth.—Indian- apolis News. Slang. In a paper contributed to Putnam's Monthly recently Herbert Paul, an Englishman, deplores the decadence of the English language. He thinks he may be forgiven a passing qualm when he finds such a phrase as ‘“‘queering the pitch’ in the leading columns of a great newspaper which “used to be a fountain of classical English.”” He is not so ‘futile and pedantic as to wage war against slang. But its proper place is surely private conversation.” Is it? We ourselves are moved to record a passing qualm. Only the other day in a household where the Lares and Penates were shipped di- rect from the Athens of America, we overheard a conversation between a nice old lady and the ten-year-old daughter of a Radcliffe graduate. It bore somewhat remotely upen the virtues of thrift, and so we cannot be quite sure whether the old lady's manifest bewilderment arose from the irrelevance or the phraseology of the child's impulsive avowal, “I'm going to plait all my dough Mm a bike.” —Life.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: It is still noteworthy that there is practically none of the customary complaint of midsummer dullness in commercial or industrial channels. On the contrary, reports from many cities announce that all the Dback- wardness of the early season in light- weight fabrics has been made up and the liberal distribution of merchan- dise is accompanied by steady im- provement in mercantile collections. Preparations for f.11 and winter pro- ceed with evident confidence, and lines that usually report frequent cancellations at this season are hold- ing their business nearly intact. The only menace to more new records of pig iron production is the interrup- tion to ore movement by the strike that has reduced shipments about 2,000,000 tons in three weeks. Specifications at the steel mills are large. producers being still unable | to make deliveries as promptly as desired, but there is a seasonable de crease in the volume of new business which relieves the pressure some- what. Production is now very heavy, but many furnaces that need repairs will shut down unless ore comes for- ward move promptly. An undercurrent of terest is felt in the primary for colton goods, and there evidence that prices will be tained, while further advances contemplated in some lines.’ Footwear factories have received fairly liberal orders for case goods, but the volume of new business thus far has not equalled anticipations. Little improvement is noted in the demand for leather, but prices are sustained © the curtailment of pro- duction, which has prevented accumu- lation, and tanners are confident that shoe shops cannot defer action much longer. increased in- markets is more main- are MARKETS.
