CATARRH OF LUNGS. A Prominent Chicago Lady Cured by Pe-ru-na. Miss Maggie Welch, Secretary of the Betsey Ro* Educational and Benevolent Society, writes from 328 North State street, Chicago, 111., the following glowing words concerning Peruna: "Last fall I caught the most severe cold I ever had in my life. I coughed night and r . day, and my lungs and throat became so ■ore that I was in great distress. All cough *! Miss Maggie Welch. remedies nauseated me, and nothing af /">v forded me relief until my doctor said rather in a joke, 'I guess Peruna is the only medicine that will cure you/ "I told him that I would certainly try it, and immediately sent for a bottle. I found that relief came the first day, and as I kept taking it faithfully the cough grad ually diminished and the soreness left me. It is tine."- Maggie Welch.

The remarkable pendulum experi ment In the Pantheon at Paris to prove the rotation of tho earth, strik ingly Illustrates the majestic uses of the familiar clock-maker's device It seems almost impossible of belief, in an age of well-regulated watches, that the clocks of Galileo's timo could not be kept going at a uniform speed. Clocks went by means of a i dnagging weight, but the pendulum J had not been thought of as a regu- lator. It occurred to Galileo to make a clock with the pendulum only, but of course, the work of turning the wheels stopped it. It was left to Huygens, in 1656, 14 years after the great astronomer's death, to com bine the -pendulum with the dragging weight and thus solve the problem of reckoning astronomical time with exactitude. It is proposed to cut a railway tun nel through the mountain known aa the Faucille, in the Jura Alps, ami so shorten the journey between Paris and Switzerland by two and a half hours.

There Is more Catarrh In this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until tho last few years was supposed to bo incurable. For a groat many years dootors pronounced It a local disease and presoribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to euro with local treatment, pronounced it In curable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

Oregon's Vigorous Old Man. A well-known citizen of 77 years, who had been out in the country, and had a large paper sack of mushrooms In his hand, which he had gathered himself, was standing at the corner of Fifth and Morrison Btreets, Satur day afternoon, waiting for a car. An other old-time citizen, who will be 80 in a few months, came to the same cor ner to wait for the same car. The man with the mushrooms exhibited them proudly, and said that they were to be put up in glass, adding that he had bought about 100 pounds in the market, which was al ready put up, but it was diffl cut to find really fresh ones. He then asked his friend of 79%: "Where have you been lately? I haven't seen you for a week or so." "I have been busy for a week," was the answer. "I had 12 cords of wood to put in, and it was so hard to find anyone to do it, I concluded to put it in myself." "Did you wheel it in in a wheelbarrow?" asked 77. "No, indeed; I had to carry it up a flight of 11 steps, two or three sticks at a time. I got in six cords in three days and finished the other Bix this afternoon, and so had the after noon to come down town." As they boarded the car which came up a stranger, who had* ouerheard their conversation, remarked: "By Jingo! they raise pretty husky old men hero In Oregon." Japanese Ingenuity.

Haule, of Edgcrton, Wis., tells how she was cured of irregulari ties and uterine trouble, terrible pains and backache by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. 44 A while ago my health began to fail because of female troubles. The doctor did not help me. I remembered that my mother had used Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound on many occasions for irregularities and uterine troubles, and I felt sure that it could not harm mo at any rate to give it a trial. 44 1 was certainly glad to find that within a week I felt much better, the terrible pains in my back and side were beginning to ceafic, and at the timo of menstruation I did not have nearly as serious a time as hereto fore, so I continued its use for two months, and at the end of that time I was like a new woman. I really have never felt better in my life, have not had a sick headache since, and weigh 20 pounds more than I ever did, so I unhesitatingly recommend Vegetable Compound." MRS.

Very mysterious is tho origin of the fierce savage, now almost extinct, wbo were In possession of the Caribs, the smaller West Indian Islands, when the white man discovered them. They showed a distinct Mongolian character and It would be hard to distinguish a Carib infant from a Chinese child. Twenty years ago a Chinaman who had drifted to Dominica declared the Caribs to be his own people and married a pure-bred Carib woman. The resultant child showed no deviation from the native type. The Caribs have dropped their man-eating ways; but In the sixteenth century they scoured the Spanish main In search of human food and from Porto Rico alone are said to have taken more than 5,000 men to be eaten. Though Spaniards, French men, Dutchmen, negroes or Arrowalts were all meat to them, the Caribs seem to have shown an interesting preference for certain nationalities. Davis says In his "History of the Ca ribby Isands," that "tho Carlbbeans have tasted of ail the nations that fre quented them, and affirm that the French are the most delicate and the Spaniards are hardest of digestion." Laborde in one of his jaunts in St. Vin cent overtook on the road a communi cative Carib who was beguiling the tedium of his journey by gnawing at the remains of a boiled human foot. This man ate Arrowaks only. "Chris tians," he said, "gave him indiges tion." Traveling Libraries In Ohio. Ohio clubwomen, already famous for traveling libraries, are congratulating themselves that SIO,OOO has been ap propriated for the furtherance of work tho coming year. This encouraging re port will bo made at the state conven tion at Cleveland this month, in addi tion to the announcement that no less than 900 traveling libraries are now in circulation. This splendid record is largely due to the first chairman of the library extension committee of the Ohio Federation, Mrs. Edward D. Buchwalter. of Springfield. Through the activities of this committee the state library commission was organ ized, the two co-operating at every step. Two-thirds of the resulting 900 traveling libraries are used in the women's clubs throughout Ohio. Those books a club may keep for one year, if it wishes, and in several instances the commission has consulted individ ual clubs as to the new books which will best serve their purposes. Now that clubwomen's interests are so care fully consulted; and the appropriation has been increased, through their de mands to tho present magnificent sum, the Ohio clubwomen have another as piration. It is to push the traveling library Into the country districts, and to this end they would have opened on Sunday every schooihouse, with its rows of books. In ths way the lttle traveling library might develop into a large and permanent library at the crossroads. In the Stone Age. Near Mariow, England, has been discovered a quarry whence men of the stone age got flints to make their knives and weapons. In it was found, among other relics of the old workers, a pick of stag's antlers, used by the prehistoric miner In making his gal lery. Tho site was called locally "Grimes's graves," and consisted cf a number of holes or pits sunk in the ground. It was found that these Norfolk pits were made by miners in search of clear and large flints, the ready-made material for cutlery chip ped from stone. These ancient workers had quite as keen an instinct for find ing the best bed of flint as a modern prospector has for a bed of gold-bear iug quartz. and somehow found out. that about thirty feet below the surface there was a bed cf the largest slllcious pebbles in Ensland. They therefore sunk tho "graves" and ran galleries from them. In these galler ies were found not only the flints they had dug but rough lamps, cut in chaik, for them to see by and the picks which they had U3ed to work with. The imple ments were all made of deer's horn, and it was noted that these old antler tools are exactly the same shape as the picks of wood and iron used in tho flint quarries of England to-day. Tho expenses of the city of New York for the first thiee months of this year amounted t<? $14,990,253. POLICE DOGS IN GHENT. Trained Collies Supplant Officers and Chase Burglars. The distinction of the bloodhound of the Southern and Western states as being the ony dog policemen in the world is gone. The city of Ghent has recently supplemented its regular po lice force in the suburbs by a corps of trained collies, whose duty it is to run down burglars and other evil-doers who might prove too swift for capture by the human custodians of the peace. The step has been taken by the Ghent commissioners of police as the result of an alarming increase in burglary, robbery, with violence, and other crimes committed by night in the su burbs. The vigilance of tho police proved unequal to cope with the evil, although their numbers were consider ably augmented. The police dogs are of the breed of Swiss-Belgian sheep dogs, and are trained most carefully. They accompany the policemen on their nightly rounds, and not only pro tect them from being attacked by sur prise, but by the quickness of their instinct in scenting the presence of men they make it impossible for any evil-doer to lurk in the darkest corner undetected. Great precaution, how ever, is taken that the dogs may do as little harm as possible, and to this end their management and diet is carefully regulated. They are kept in kennels which are cleaned daily and disinfected weekly, and they are frequently ex amined by a veterinary surgeon. That the pangs of hunger may not tempt them to take a slice out of any of their victims, they are given two good meals a day, one at 12:30 and the other at 7 o'clock, each consisting of bread, rice and meat, and at midnight they are given a biscuit for supper. When on duty each dog is armed with a spiked collar, and bears a medal with a number to show its identity. The sheets of steel for pen-making are, in their originnl condition, eight foot long and three feet wide. From these strips are cut wide enough to permit of the cutting of three or four pens. r^i— ST* -iff —tiß a—a—— BSSMM s Asthma I p—c— agwcaoa Bang MM "One of my daughters had a K terrible case of asthma.
