TLAXTIXG LOBSTER.
Means by Which the Government is
Trying to Increase the Supply.
The downward trend of the lobster
fishery had up to a year or two ago
been apparently uninfluenced by the
annual planting of large numbers of
lobster fry, but there is now consid
erable evidence that the increasing
output of the hatcheries is bearing
fruit.
Fishermen are reporting more un
dersized lobsters than they have seen
in many years, says the National Geo
graphic Magazine, and in various
places where fishing had been aban
doned because it did not pay the fish
ermen are now making good catches.
It is difficult to understand how
the annual planting of the progeny
of 20,000 to 30,000 lobsters can fail
to Influence the available supply for
the market, even if only one lobster
fry In each 100 planted reaches ma
turity, and the bureau has occasion
to feel gratified that the decline has
now been positively arrested in local
ities where large numbers of fry have
been deposited for a series of years,
and where there was absolutely no
reason to look for any betterment If
nature had remained unaided.
Hammrr-Handlc Money.
One week's wages at $3 a week
thirty-two axe handles.
Change to the amount of $3. 50 af
ter purchasing tools twenty-three
hammer handles.
This was the solution of a problem
like unto ye olden-time high finance
which confronted John Mitchell when
the currency stringency was at its
height.
Mitchell was employed in a small
wood-working factory in East Spring
field, a small village east of here, but
quit his job to come here to work as
a machinist. When be asked for his
week's wages he was confronted with
the proposition of taking $8 worth of
axe handles or nothing. Naturally he
took the axe handles.
At the general store he purchased
the necessary machinist's tools and,
having no money, tendered the bun
dle of thirty-two axe handles, valued
at twenty-five cents apiece. In pay
ment of the bill of $4.50. The coun
try merchant, also being out of cash,
accepted the exchange, and for change
to the amount of $3.45 tendered
twenty-three hammer handles, valued
at fifteen cents apiece.
With his tools and twenty-three
hammer bandies Mitchell came to
town. Conneaut (O.) Tispatch in

TAIL3 AND THSIR USES
Help Animals to Express Emotions
and Keep Their Balance.
A cat never actually wags Its tall.
Why should it when It can purr? But,
nevertheless. It seems to serve the
same purpose In permitting a tempo
rary expenditure of excess nervous
energy when the animal Is under
great strain.
For Instance, when carefully stalk
ing a bird or a man, as In tho case
of a kitten or a lion, the tip of the
tall is never still for a moment ever
curling and uncurling. We may com
pare this to the nervous tapping of
the foct or fingers In a man.
When an angry lion is roaring his
loudest, his tall will frequently lash
frtm side to side, giving rise among
the ancients to the belief that he
scourged his body with a hook or
thorn which grew from the end of
the tall.
Whi'n a Jaguar walks along a slen
der bough, or a house cat perambu
lates the top of a board fence, we
perceive another important function
of the tall that an aid in balancing.
As a tight-rope performer sways bis
polo, so the feline shifts its tall to
preserve the center of gravity.
The tall of a sheep seems to be of
little use to its owner, although In
the breed which Is found in Asia
Minor and on the tablelands of Tnr
tary, this organ functions as a store
house of fat, and sometimes reaches
a weight of BO pounds. When this
appendage reaches Its full size it is
either fastened between two sticks
which drag on the ground, or It in
suspended on two small wheels.

Good Soldering Fluid.
A soldering fluid, which has proved
very useful in certain railway shops,
Is made by killing two quarts of hy
drochloric acid with all the zinc it
will take up. Then to tne acid a
quart of water Is adnen, or it may
have to be added before the zinc will
fully dissolve. A quart of glycerine,
which has previously been mixed
with a quart of alcohol, Is then added
to the solution. This fluid is used
for all kinds of soldering, and has
been found especially desirable with
greasy or dirty connections, as well
as for soldering Iron. It is claimed
that the glycerine prevents all rust,
which plays havoc when many solder
ing fluids containing hydrochloric
acid are used. Street Railway Journal.

Dr. Eartman is now offering Peruna to the public as a regular pharmacea
tical product It is just as ethical as any compound put up for the medical
profession. No straining of medical ethics can find any fault with it. THE
PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the
label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna
have a true justification.
The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of
Peruna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and
sell our product TO THE PEOPLE.
If we would agree to sell to doctors only,' to advertise for doctors only,
then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being
entirely within their approval
RUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS.
We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to
eonvey to the people our claims for Peruna as a household remedy. We shall
continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use
our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things
of benefit to the homo. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical
profession like it or not.
We are proposing from this time on to take the public into our confidence.
Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutors will be attempting to
put up something which thoy consider just as good as Peruna, we are going to
draw aside the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly
OF WHAT PERUNA 13 COMPOSED.
This ought to disarm all honest criticism. We expect, however, that crit
icism will continue. On some pretext or other those who are envious of the
success of Peruna will continue to find
fault But we are determined to give
such people no just complaint
PERUNA IS A GREAT MEDICINE.
It has become a household word in
millions of homes. Our faith in the
remedy is stronger than ever. Every
year we expect to establish new plants
in foreign lands until tho people of all the world are supplied with this valu
able household remedy.
WE CLAIM PERUNA TO EE A CATARRH REMEDY. Buy a bottle and
try it. If it helps you, bo honest and acknowlcdgo that it has helped you. '
If you want us to we will publish your statement exactly as you furnish it
to us. We will add no words, take away no words. If you wish us to we will
publish your portrait in connection with it Wo will not do this without your
written request without your entire consent.
Peruna has cured thousands of pooplo of chronio catarrh, in many phases
and locations. At least that is what the people say to ns, through unsolicited
testimonials. Peruna will cure many thousand more, in spite of fabricated
slanders to the contrary.
WE GUARANTEE EVERT BOTTLE OF PERUNA TO CONTAIN THE
INGREDIENTS PRINTED ON THE LABEL.
We guarantee that every testimonial we use is absolutely true-in the
exact language of the testifier.
We guarantee that every photograph published ia tho photograph of the
person whose name it boars, that evory word of every testimonial was author
ized by tho hand that signed it
We are determined to beat our opponents by being fairer than thoy are,
by dealing squarer than they dare to. We are determined to meet falsehood
with truth, duplicity with candor, insincerity with sincerity.
Wo know that the ucers of Peruna will appreciate our stand. We believe
that the dealers in Peruna will applaud our course. We expect even our op
ponents will be obliged to acknowledge finally that Peruna is not only an
honest and useful remedy, but one of the GREATEST HOUSEHOLD MEDI
CINES ON THE CONTINENT.

Cleveland in the Lead.
Interesting statistics showing the
importance of Cleveland as an Indus
trial center are those which summar
ize the shipbuilding business of the
year 1907. One Cleveland concern,
the American Shipbuilding Company,
constructed last year more vessels
than any other' shipbuilding company
in the world. Thirty-four ships, rep
resenting a tonnage of 191,602 tons,
were built by the Cleveland company.
Second on the list stands W. Dox
ford & Sons, an English concern,
with twenty-two ships and 91,254
tons. It will be seen that the out
put of the American Shipbuilding
Company was more than twice ns
great as that of its nearest rival In
the world's shipbuilding business.

The title lieutenant comes from
