Mrs, Lulu Larmer, Stoughton, Wis.,
says:
“For two years I suffered with ner-
vous trouble and stomach disorders un-
til it seeried that there was nothing to
me but a bundle of nerves.
“I was very irritable, could not sleep,
rest or compose myself, and was cer-
tainly unfit to take care of a household.
“I took nerve tonics and pills without
benefit. When I began taking Peruna
I grew steadily better, my nerves grew
stronger, my rest was no longer fitful,
and to-day I consider myself in perfect
health and strength.
“My recovery was slow but sure, but
I persevered and was rewarded by per-
fect health.”—Mrs. Lulu Larmer.

Origin of a ‘‘Baker’s Dozen.”
The expression “baker's dozen,”
which is in point of fact thirteen, has a
history. For a baker in the olden times
to give short weight in bread exposed
him to considerable penalties, and thus
ithe custom arose of adding an extra
loaf to the dozen as compensation for
any possible deficiencies in the rest of
the batch. The extra article was orig-
inally a safeguard to avert the chance
of a heavy fine.

SEES THE WORLD FIRST AT 30.
ManWBlind From Birth Until Now an
Interesting Study.
n Carruth, of Edinburgh, Scot:
and, { whose sight has been restored
after life of thirty years spent in
vaguef imaginings, says blindness is
blackéy than black. He is a most
Interesjting study. Recently he trav:
elled td Greenock to see the sea. He
passed through a long and short tun
nel. In one of these his companion
who is blessed with full sight, ex
perienced the most intense darkness
resembling, as he expressed it, that
of the most impenetrable night. He
spoke of this to Mr. Carruth, who re
plied: “It is aye dark, but there’s a
feeling of light to me yet.”
His friend replied: “But it is pitch
dark.”
“Oh, nothing of the sort,” said Car
ruth. “It is na sae dark as it used
to be when I could not see.”
Some other curious facts about Car-
ruth are that he has been moving
about with his eyes open for practical
ly only two days, and for the first
time he has experienced what it is to
be able to see and yet be afraid.
When he was blind he rode horseback
and delivered messages and parcels.
He was never afraid of making a
wrong turn or of being thrown from
his horse. He now declares that he
would be afraid to do so. He walked
on a rude plank lying only on one
rail over the water with perfect con-
fidence when he was blind. He is
very timid now. He also feels, as he
never did before, that he may get
run over or miss his footing and
that he must be careful to look where
he is going.
As the train approached Greenock
he observed that they were approach:
ing that town. When asked how he
knew, he said he could tell by the
sound, although nothing of the kind
was appreciated by his companion.
When he smoked cigarettes during
his blindness he did not obtain half
the enjoyment that he does now. His
expression of wonder and admiration
of the beauty of everything as the
train passed by the fields and farms
and trees showed intense delight and
the deepest interest.
“I am taking stock; I canna make it
all out yet; it will come doun.”

definite idea of what the women were

“Real” Antiques.
While most of the curiosity shops
in New York are stocked with skill-
fully faked “amtigues” there are a few
reputable dealers wlio. have things to
show that are really “worth. while.
Among the most interesting antiques
exhibited in shops that cater to the
tastes of millionaire collectors are a
set of “spotted luster” china in old
rose speckled with white, the only
complete set in existence; a two-
handled depas, the cup used in Hom-
eric libations; a black and gold sleigh
of solid oak, said to have been the
property of tha royal family in Hol-
land 300 years ago; a cardinal’s chest,
marvelously carved, and bearing the
insignia of the owner's rank and of-
fice; a cupboard of scubbed oak which
once delightei the heart of som» Dutch
housewife, an old soft hat belonging to
Washington's grandfather; rich vest-
ments, ambroideries and Oriental gods
plundered from churches and ancient
temples, and a beautiful marble foun-
tain from the garden of a Venetian
doge.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Home of “Sparrow Jack.”
There is a little old house in Ger-
mantown, at the northwest corner of
Main and Upsal streets, that is in a
certain sense historical. In this
house, some thirty-fivg years ago,
lived “Sparrow Jack,” and the build-
ing, therefore, has the name of “Spar-
row Jack’s home.” Jack was an Eng-
lishman, John Bardsley, and through
the influence of William F. Smith, a
Germantown councilman, he was sent
to England to bring over a lot of Eng-
lish sparrows, the idea being that the
sparrows would destroy the caterpil-
lars that infested the trees. Tha
few sparrows Bardsley imported are
the ancestors of the millions that now
thrive in Philadelphia. The im-
porter was highly praised for his
work during the first year or two, and
his nickname of “Sparrow Jack” was
a title of honor in which he took great
pride, Later on, however, as the
sparrows began to become a nuisance,
the nickname came to have a re-
proachful significance and in the end
it became a term of opprobium.—
Successful Submarine Tests.
Some important naval manoeuvres
took place recently between the isles
of Re and Oleron, near La Rochelle,
where the submarine boat Korigan at-
tacked the battleships of the French
northern squadron, which wera defend-
ed by four torpedo boat destroyers.
The Korigan succeeded in torpedoing
several of the battleships, and having
attacked a vessel on one side passed
underneath the vessel attacked and
discharged a torpado against the other
side. The torpedo boat destroyers
were unable to prevent the attacks.
The battleship Admiral Trehourat,
representing the enemy's division,
tried to pass the southern entry to
the roadstead of I.a Pallice, which was
defended by the submarines Korigan
and Farfadet. The attack failed, the
Admiral Trehouart being torpedoed
four times, equivalent to once for every
one of the ‘our ships forming the di-
vision which she represented.—New
York American.

{ Declaration is

Before and After the Accident.
A member of the Baltimore bar tells
of an instance where ready wit won a
case which seemed hopeless from a
legal point of view.
A gray-haired colored man was the
plaintiff in a suit against a corporation
for ten thousand dollars damages for
injuries by the negligence of the cor-
poration’s employes. The testimony of
many witnesses was strongly in his
favor and he had hobbled feebly, bent
and pain-racked, to the stand and told
a story which had manifestly elicited
the sympathy of the jury.
“Uncle,” asked the attorney for the
corporation, on cross-examination,
“since the accident, how high have you
been able to lift your right arm?”
“Jes’ about so high, sah,” answere
the plaintiff, as, groaning with pain, he
gradually lifted his hand on a level with
his head.
“Very well,” answered the attorney,
sympathetically, “now tell the gentle-
men of the jury how high you were able
to lift the same arm before the acci-
dent.”
In a twinkling uncle's face lighted up
as he answered, “About dis high.”
shooting his arm in the air almost par-
allel with his body.
A snicker was heard in the court
room and several of the jurymen were
seen to smile. The plaintiff's attorney
moved, uneasily and finally rose to in-
terfere, when he was ordered by the
court to resume his seat.
“Now, uncle,” went on the defend-
ant’s attorney, ‘‘the court and jury sec
that you have become decidedly bent in
form since you met with the painful ac-
cident.
erect you stood belore you met with
that terrible experience.”
“Befo' de accident,” promptly an-
swered uncle, “I was able to stand
straight like dis,” as he stood erect and
threw out his chest.
“That will do,” answered the attor-
ney, as uncle, as feeble as ever, limped
from the witness stand and took his
seat beside his attorney.
The jury found for the defendant
without leaving their seats.
He Thought It.
A guardian of the law was relating
to a small audience how, after arresting
a miscdemeanant, he was obstructed by
another persen, whereupon he also ar-
rested the obstructionist.
“ha. would you have done,” queried
a bystander, “if, instead of actually in-
terfering, he had simply spoken his
mind and called you an impertinent, of-
fieious, loafing scoundrel, who only
itered around and laid violent hands
oun his betters—adding that he consid-
od you a vegabond and a blackguard?”
Oh,” replied the policeman, "I
world have arrested him all the same
for inciting others to commit a breach
of the peace.
“But,” continued the querist, “sup-
pose he said nothing, but just thought
sod’
“Well,” was the reply, “I can't ar-
rest a man for thinking. He can think
what he likes.”
“Then,” said the querist, “I think so.”
The policeman hasn't yet decided what
his duty was in this case.
Declaration of Independence Fading.
The Declaration of Independence is
to be seen no more by the public, ac-
cording to a writer in Argonaut, an
order having been issued that hence-
forth the historic manuscript shall be
kept under lock and key in a great fire
and light-proof safe. This decision has
been reached as the result of an exam-
ination of the document by a commit-
tee of the American Academy of
Sciences, recently in session in New
York, who acted at the instance of Sec-
retary Hay, whose attention had been
called to the sad state of the famous
document. . Most of the text of the
still legible, but only
one or two of the signatures can be
made out. There is only a trace of the
autograph of John Hancock, the first
to sign. The document from time to
time will be photographed in order to
meastire as nearly as possible the re-
sult of the protective steps.
