ADACTND WHO WAS BEFRIENDED
RAQIULL BY AW EMPEROR
SAVED BY PE-RU-NA.
Rev. H. Stubenvoll, of Elkhorn. Wis., is pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Bt.
John's Church of that place. Rev. Stubenvoll is the possessor of two Riblcs presented
to him by Emperor William of Germany. Upon the lly leaf of one of the Ribles the
Emperor has written in his own handwriting a text.
This honored pastor, in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus,
Ohio, says concerning their famous catarrh remedy, Peruna;
The Peruna Medicine CoColumbus, Ohio.
Gentlemen: "I had hemorrhages ot the lungs for a long time, and all
of me. I took Peruna and was cured. It gave me strength and
Wcourage, and made healthy, pure blood. It Increased, my weight, gave me
a healthy color, and I feel well. It is the best medicine in the world. If
everyone kept Peruna In the house it would save many f rom death every
year."—U. STVUENVOLL.
Thousands of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know it, because it
has been called some other name than ca
tarrh. The fact is catarrh is catarrh wher
ever located; and another fact which is of
equally great importance, is that i'eruua
cures catarrh wherever located.

Mrs. Grant's Favorite Flower.
The red rose was the favorite flow
er of General Grant's widow. When
the body o£ the general was laid In
Riverside tomb Mrs. Grant gave
standing order to a well-known city
florist to put a large bouquet of flow
ers every Sunday upon his casket.
Site stipulated roses. The color.
vdH'Ti rod was not available, she left
florist's taste. Faithfully the
order has been fulfilled. In ail prob
ability the Grant family will now see
that the siame floral tribute 13 kept
up. The custodians of the tomb have
learned to watch for the florist's
wagon every Sunday morning. Every
day in the week they change the
water and care for the roses. The
bouquet generally includes four or
five dozen roses. The last time Mre.
Grant visited the tomb was a year
ago last September, while In the city
on the way to Canada. Until her
health failed ehe was a weekly
visitor.
Circumstantial Evidence.
In a recess of the Mollneux trial
1n New York Ihstrict Attorney Os
borne discussed one afternoon the
value of circumstantial evidence with
a group of reporters. "Suppose," he
eaid, "that I am talking to a milk
mn,n. This milkman claims there is
water in his can of milk. He tells
mi that he milked the cow himself;
that he washed out the can; that ho
strained the milk—and ttjen, while
he is speaking, out leaps a frog from
the can. That frog's evidence is cir
cumstantial, hut, nevertheless, it is
much stronger than the man's which
Is direct."

THE VULGAR VOICE.
Tones Bespeaking Refinement and
Others Denoting Coarseness.
What constitutes the vulgar voice?
In an article, the reading of which
may be recommended to the legion
of teachers of voice production and
• their pupils, a writer iu the London
Spectator concludes that this evidence
of vulgarity "springs, like almost all
vulgarity, however displayed, chiefly
from two causes—an- undue love of
eonßpicuousness and an undue fear of
the same. The person whose chief aim
Is to keep him or herself in the eye
of the world rarely makes a remark
, without desiring others besides tho
one directly addressed, and here the
peculiarity false sound of the voice
is attributed to the absence of single
ness of motive. On the other hand,
the wavering tone and affected accent
of the timid vulgar aTe ascribed to an
other form of insincerity, namely, the
wish to Imitate others with whom one
happens to he, when they are of a sup
posedly higher social standing. The
attempt is sure to fail and result only
In the suppression of all evidence of
the speaker's own personality —in the
voice as- well as In the manner. Thus,
sincerity, parnpiount in all art, Is
basic in breeding as well, which Is the
art of life. So far, so good, if the
world is to be considered and charac
terized as divided into two classes—
the vulgar and the not vulgar.
But for our part we feel tempt
ed to ask further whether most
of us do not at times fall into the
use of the vulgar voice? Listen to
sweet woman, in one of her shrewish
moments, happy few, or to the great
actor scolding his valet! In the rare
case of these persons, to hear whom
speak is always to listen to music,
the reason Is probably to seek In the
fact that they have learned the su
preme self-restraint. The anger or
petulance which unrcpressod would
have Issued in shrillness, when re
strained Imparts a certain depth and
fullness of the tonesr—"the throbbing
voice," and so forth, of the novel writ
ers. It reminds us of the old definition
of a lady —a woman who speaks In a
low tone and thinks in a high one.
Plenty of Name.
The ];ing of Portugal and his family
are well dowered with Christian
names. Carlos I. possesses no fewer
than 13. the additional 12 being Fer
dinand Louis Marie Victor Michel Ra
phael Gabriel Gonzague Xavier Fran
cois d'Assise, Joseph Simon. His eld
est son, Manual, also has 13. Tho
longest string of names, however, Is
borne by the younger brother of the
king; he has no fewer than 22. The
king and queen of Portugal both cele
brate their birthdays on the same
day.
Shock Restores Hearing.
Almost totally deaf for seven years,
and after large expenditure with fruit
less results upon the part of his par
ents, Chas. McCormick, aged 11 years,
suddenly regained his hearing In Pitts
burg on Sunday in a peculiar manner.
While at play he stepped on a fallen
telephone wire. He was thrown violent
ly to the ground and badly shocked.
When taken home by his companions
his parents were amazed to find that
the boy had completely regained his
bearing.
| Farm Topics?
DESTROYING LICE ON HOGS.
"Where there Is n large herd the eas
iest plan is to spray with kerosene
emulsion. This will not only destroy
parasites, but will also clean the hogs
as well. If only a few are kept a thor
ough washing with warm water and
soap ar 1 the free use of the scrubbing
brush Is exceedingly effective.
GOOD SLEEPING QUARTERS.
Most farmers provide a sleep!;:;:
place for every animal on the plae".
except the chickens, and give gocL
bedding. Every fowl, except turkeys
should be housed, and when the weath
er is too. cold or stormy to let them out
in the daytime, they should be given
plenty of straw or leaves to scratch in.
PIGS FOR BREEDING PURPOSES,
Pigs intended for breeders should be
kept vigorous, strong and healthy. To
do this give them the run of n good
pasture, all the milk you can spare,
plenty of nitrogenous foods, such as
peas, cracked wheat, shorts and the
like. If they have plenty of exercise
and grass they will seldom get too fat,
but If fattening becomes apparent de
crease the amount of feed slightly.
THE VALUE OF FOOD.
The value of the food Is not In the
available material contained therein for
the production of meat or milk only,
but also In the amount and quality of
the manure derived therefrom. It lias
been estimated that one-third of the
food eaten goes into the manure. As
the manure, then, is simply the food
Rtored away for future use, It Is Im
portant that In order to derive the
greatest hcnellt from the food con
sumed the manure should be carefully
managed to prevent loss. The manure
heap Is tile saving bank of the farm.
TO STOP FEATHER EATING.
When the fowls get to picking the
feathers off each other's nocks, I take
a piece of raw, fat salt pork (a piece
with a good rind, so it will not oome
down In the dirt) anil driving a nail
through tho rind nail it to some part of
the building In easy reach of the hens
and let them work at It all they please.
When this is gone If they still contlnuo
to pick off the feathers I give them
another piece. There is something
lacking In their food when they pick
off and eat cneh other's feathers and
the raw, fat salt pork supplies the de
ficiency and stops feather eating.—
.Tosephlne 11. Davis, In Orange Judd
Farmer.
THE ROAETTO - SUCCESS.
Farm success depends on knowledge,
on Industry, enterprise and thrift, on
saving and making the Income exceed
tho outgo, on good financiering and
management, on ready adjustment to
new conditions, on love of the business
and on a good wife, who takes an Inter
est In her husbnnd's work. There Is
110 dividing Hue between tho home and
tho farm. The presiding genius of the
farm and tho household are the two
factors which make a complete whole;
one pulls and the other pushes. To ho
a successful fnrmer, one must be n
good citizen, and his life radiate the
:omipunlty.—Q. U. Gleasou, In The Cul
tivator.
A HOME-MADE PULLEY.
Tho cut shows a simple way of mak
ing pulleys for raising hen house win
dows by a cord operated from a hall
wav. or from any other nositlon about
g|s,
fnrm hnlldlngs where light pulleys are
desired. An empty spool, from which
the thread has been used, hns a round
plug driven through it, the ends pro
jecting as shown. Two serew-eyes of
tho proper size slip over tho ends, af
ter being screwed into the wall ot
celling. Use small spools and long
screw eyes.—New England Homestead.
THE AGE OF FOWLS.
Query: Kindly let mo know how one
can tell the ago of fowls.
Assuming that live fowls are meant
In this Inquiry it may be said that no
Infallible test Is known. Sprlghtllness,
beauty of legs and gloss of plumage
are the three strong Indicators of
youth. Spurs, roughness of legs, fad
ing of the skin of the legs are good in
dications of coming ago, more nearly
infallible than those of youth. A
farmer who put this same question to
me personally last week suggested his
belief that tho claws Increased In
length with age. My own observation
has not touched this point, so that I
can neither affirm nor deny. Between
one and three years Judgment as to the
ago of a bird Is often mistaken. Sunk
en eyes often accompany greater age,
and carcasses show deeply honey
combed sldn, nnd muscle hard and re
sistant to the touch. Yet I have not
seen the person who could tell the age
of birds accurately, and In every ques
tionable case. For accuracy wo band
all birds, using a different band for
different years. A glnnee then shows
the exact age of any blrdv—New York
Tribune Farmer.
An Athletic King.
Notwithstanding his years, the King
of Sweden and Norway Is an athlete of
a very high order. No holiday has any
charm for him unless he can Indulge

Ratttssnake Cave.
On the top of a mountain about two
miles northwest from Vinn, Mo., is a
small level spot or glade. In the cen
ter of which is a cave of considera
ble size, the opening being large
enough to admit four or five men walk
ing abreast. The cave extends about
300 yards and has eight small compart
ments or rooms besides one large
room. It is said to be inhabited by
the largest rattlesnakes ever known or
seen in these parts, being about 15
feet in length and about six inches in
diameter, besides numerous other
c nakes of various sizes. Tho
cave is said to have been the rendez
vous of a band of bandits who roamed
through the territory several years
ago and when hard pressed took
refuge in this cave.

Phew! Salts and Castor 031
Why take sickening- salts or repulsive castor oil? "Goes through you
like a dose of salts" means violence, grips, gripes, gases, soreness,
irritation, and leaves your stomach and bowels weak and burnt out.
Might just as well take concentrated lye. Then there's castor oil,
disgusting, nauseating truck that your stomach refuses unless you
disguise the taste. Fool your own stomach, eh? Don't ever believe that anything
offensive to your taste or smell is going to do you real good. Nature
makes certain things repulsive, so you will not take them. Force
yourself to nauseous doses, and you ruin your digestion, weaken your JM"
bowels, destroy your health. On the other hand see what a delight

A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor,
which baffled the skill of Boston doctors.
Mrs. - Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in
the following letter tells how she was
cured, after everything else failed, by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. Hayes' First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Pinkham for Help/
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I have been under Boston doctors' treat
ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid
tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and tho soreness extends
up my spino. I have bearing-down pains both back and front, fty ab
domen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My ap
petite is not good. I cannot walk or bo on iny feet for any length of time.
"The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac
curately describe my case, so I write to you for advice."—(Signed) Mrs.
E. F. IIAYES, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham's advice—al
though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take
her medicine which she knew would help her
her letter contained a mass of additional instruc
tions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring
about the happy result.
"DEAR MRS. PINKITAM: Sometime ago I 'wrote to you describ
ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed
all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman.
" The use of Eydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound entirely
cspelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk
miles now.
" Eydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth five dol
lars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or
femalo trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial."—(Signed) MRS.
E. F. HAYES, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony or take
tho placo of the health and happiness which JLydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. llayes.
Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing
evidence that Eydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands
"without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all
ovarian troubles; tumora; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dis
placements of tho womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful
menstruation. Surely the volumo and character of tlio testimonial let
ters wo arc daily printing in tho newspapers can leave no room for doubt.
Mrs. Hayes at licr abovo address will gladly answer any letters
which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness.
Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkliam and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too
great for her to take in return for her health and happiness.
Truly is it said that it is Eydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound that is curing so many women, and no other medicine; don't for
get this when some druggist wants to sell you something else.
