The cold wind uiul rain, slush and mud of winter are es pecially conducive, to catarrhal de rangements. Few women escape. Upon the first symptoms of catching cold Peruna should be taken. It forti fies the system against colds and ca tarrh. The following letter gives one young woman's experience with Peruna: Miss Hose Gerbing is a popular soci ety woman of Crown Point, Ind„ and she writes the following: "Recently 1 took a long drive In the country, and being too thinly clad 1 caught a bad cold which settled on my lungs, and which I could not seem to shake off.

Nothing of the kind exists either in London or New York. Foreigners, who only know the luxurious quarters, imagine that the boulevards and avenues of the western part of the city are the only ones that have trees, says the Archi tectural Record. They would be sur prised to see that in tho east and south—working-class district —thero are similar broad roadways, the same roomy sidewalks, the same lines of trees —and that the Place de la Nation, the Place d'ltalie, the Place do la Re publique and the Place de la Bastille have no need to be jealous in this re spect of tiieir more aristocratic sisters, the Place du Trocadero and the Place de l'Etoile. For the most part, tho tree employed—especially in the cen ter of Paris —is the allanthus. There are, however, also many plane-trees, and, in the wider avenues, chestnut trees. In 1890, the trees lining the public thoroughfares numbered 84,936, besides those growing in the public squares, gardens and parks. But the art of making a city beautiful must be practiced down to its minutest detail, and therefore do not let us be afraid to go down on the street and see how it is ornamented, lighted and rendered pleasant and commodious; in a word, how it is furnished. A promenade through Paris will teach us much, and in this respect American citios, New York first of all, can profit by the ob ject lesson which this is going to give them.

Letters Written In Wrath. Because everybody does no know or remember the story of Abraham Lin coln and Secretary Stanton, we tell It once more. It is good for use. Stan ton had been exasperated by the con duct of one of the generals in the field. He complained of him to President Lin coln, and said he was going to give it to him hot. "That's right," said Lin coln. "Write him a letter and tell him just what you think of him. Make a clean breast of it." With heat, Sec retary Stanton wrote his letter, and showed it to the President. Then he folded it to be inclosed and directed. President Lincoln said. "What are you going to do with that letter, Stan ton-" "Why, lam going to send it to him, of course." "Oh, no," said Lin coln. "Put it in the waste basket. You never ought to send a letter of that kind. You've got the thing off your mind now. Let it drop." In ninety nine times in a hundred the place for a letter written in wrath is the wasto basket. On the Vrgo of Brlffht'i Disease.— A Quick Curo That Lasted. CASE NO. 30, Gil.—C. E.

Although I consulted physi cians, some of whom told me I was verging on Bright's disease, and I was continually "using standard remedies, the excruciating aching just across the kidneys, which radiated to the shoul der blades, still existed. As might be j expected when my kidneys were in a disturbed condition, there was a dis tressing and inconvenient difficulty with the action of the kidney secre tions. A box of Doau's Kidney Pills, procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug store, brought such a decided change within a week that I continued the treatment. The last attack, and it was particularly aggravated, disappeared." Three Yours After. Mr. Boies says in 1899: "In the spring of 1890 I made a public state ment of tny experience with Doau's Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me of a terrible aching In the kidneys, in tho small of my back, In the muscles of the shoulder blades, and in the limbs. During the years that have gone by I can conscientiously say there have been no recurrences of my old trouble.

Cuticura Brings Blessed Cure to £Kin Tortured Baby and Peace and Rest to Its Worn Out Mother. It is no wonder that Mrs. Helena Rath was taken sick. Single-handed, she did all the housework and washed, cooked and mended for her husband, Hans, and their six children. After a plucky fight to keep on her feet, Mrs. Rath had to yield, and early in 1902 she took to her bed. What followed she told to a visitor, who called at her tidy home, No. 821 Tenth A ve., New York City. "l hired a girl to mind the chil dren and to do whatever else she could. I couldn't stay in bed long. Sick as I was, it was easier for me to crawl around than to lie and worry about my little ones. So I got up after a few days, and let the girl go. I had noticed that she had sores on her face, hands and arms, but I paid no attention to that until Charlie, my youngest, began to pick and scratch himself. He was then ten months old, and the girl had paid more attention to him than to any of the others. Charlie was fret ful and cross, but as he was cutting teeth, I didn't think much of that: Even when a rash broke out on his face I wasn't frightened, because everybody knows that that is quite common with teething babies. Sev eral of my others had it when little, and I thought nothing about it. " But the rash on Charlie's poor little face spread to his neck, chest, and back. I had never seen any thing quite like it before. The skin rose in little lumps, and matter came out. My baby's skin was hot, and how he did suffer ! He wouldn't eat, .and night after night I walked the floor with him, weak as I was. Often I had to stop because I felt faint and my back throbbed with pain. But the worst pain of all was to see my poor little boy burning with those nasty sores. 44 1 believed he had caught some disease from the girl, but some of the neighbors said he had eczema, that is not catching, they told mo. Yes, I'gave him medicine, and put salvos and things on him. I don't think they were all useless. Once in a while the itching seemed to let up a bit, but there was not much change for the better until a lady across the street asked me why I didn't try the Cuticura Remedies. I told her I had no faith in those things you read about in the papers. She said she didn't- want me to go on faith nor even to spend any money at flrst. She gave me some Cuticura Ointment—l think the box was about half full and a piece of Cuticura Soap. I followed f ' The agonizing, itching, and burning of the skin as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis ; the loss of hair, and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled head ; the facial disfigurements, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suffering of infants, and anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter and salt rheum,—all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy have made them the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humour remedies of the civilized world.

Charlie and I both got more peace by day, and more sleep by night. The sores sort of dried up and went away. I shall never forget one blessed night when I went to bed with Charlie beside me, as soon as I got the supper dishes out of the way and the older children undressed ; when I woke up the sun was streaming in. For the first time in six months I had slept through the night without a break. 41 Yes, that fat little boy by the window is Charlie, and his skin is as white as a snow flake, thanks to the Cuticura Remedies.
