A Peculiar Plant.

The pitcher plant, found on the Island
OF Borneo. bas long, narrow leaves, each

The upper part Of the pitcher is shaped
like funnel. which runs down to bowl

the edge and begin slipping the honey

E 10 Chattanooga, the negro death
rate is more than double that Of the
whites, and the same is trne OF Men,
phis, and yet the census shows that the,
are increasing more rapidly than the
whites The explanation of this is in
the difference Of the birth rates of The
two races. A given number OF whites
have six children born to them in year,
iof whom two die before reaching the
age Of SEN support. The same number
of negroes Il is said, will have ten chill
dren born in q. year, and lose Eve before
they reach the age OF self support. TIE
negroes thus lose two and half times
as manv children as the whites and ye,
gain upon them in the censns figures.

THE DUTIES OF THE GENTLER SEX
IInNu nEcr, ELI Ely

THE DUTIES OF THE GENTLER SEX
HOW BEST FULFILLED.
What great task is assigned to wo-
man. Its dignity can not be elevated. 1t is
not her province to make laws, to lead
ARMIES, nor to be at the head of great en-
terprises, but to her is given the power to
form those by whom the laws are made,
to teach the leaders Of mighty armies and
the governors Of vast empires. She is
required to guard against having the
slightest taint of bodily infirmity touch
the frail creature whose moral, intellect
uel and physical being is derived from
her. She must instil correct principles,
inculcate right doctrines, and breathe into
the soul Of her offspring those pure senti.
ments which in time to come will be
part Of themselves, and bless generations
yet unborn. Yes, TO woman is given the
blessed privilege of aiding the sufferer in
all the various stages of his existence. She
smiles serenely at the christening, and
weeps at the burial, while she soothes the
bereaved heart. This is her province and
duty. Yet how can she fulfill her mission
unless possessed Of strong and healthy
body? The preparation of DR.. S. B.
Hartman, and known as PERUNA, is lust
the thing for persons suffering from ma
jority of the complaints incident to this
climate. 1t is invaluable to women, and
Mrs. j. w. Reynolds, Of New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio, is a noted ex-
ample of what the medicine can do. She
says she has suffered for years with con-
gestion of the lungs catarrll in the head,
and was troubled with bad cough. She
had tried a number Of physicians, but
they all failed to cure her She was in
duced to try PERUNA, and Immediately a
marked change took place. After using
one bottle her cough ceased and in short
time her other ailments were cured. She
is now completely restored to health, and
gives all the credit to PERUNA. Mr.. !.
w. REYNOLDS, her husband, was con-
firmed invalid. He could not sleep well,
neither could he work. He used PERUNA,
and as result, was completely restored
to his former vigor and strength. He
says he now feels like new man.
Mr.. Bernhardt Seubs, St. Clair, St.
Clair county, Mich, says: " have thor
oughly tried your PERUNA in the various
diseases to which parents and large fam
lily of children are ever liable, and / find
itin every case to be just the thing needed.
No family can honestly be without it."
Nancy Feterman, Cookport, Indiana
County, Pa, says: Gentlemen: Your
valuable PERUNA is the best medicine I
ever used"
