electrical '.installment, the greater

batteries, which have been compared
to galvanic troughs, consist of a num-

head to tail, and are supplied by an
immense number of nerves, derived
from the inferior or motor roots of the
spinal nerves. The result is q capa-

What a 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 :he 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.
ual 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 a
part of themselves, and bless generations
vet 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 a strong and healthy
body? The preparation of DIR. S. b.
Hartman, and known as PERUNA, is just
the thing for persons suffering from ma
jority of the complaints incident to this
climate. It is invaluable to women, and
Mrs. 7. 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, catarrh in the head,
and was troubled with bad cough. She
had tried number of physicians, but
they all failed to cure her. She was in
duced to try PERuNA, and Immediately
marked change took place. After using
sne 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 a 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
saws he now feels like new man.
Mr.. Bernhardt Scubs, St. Clair, St.
Clair county, Mich, says: 3" have thor
oughly tried your PERUNA in the various
diseases to which parents and large fam
lily of children are ever liable, and find
it in every caseto be just the thing needed.
No family can honestly be without it."
Nancy Feterinan, Cookport, Indiana
County, Pa, saws: Gentlemen: Your
PERUNA is the best medicine I
ever used"

The Haytian People.

They hate their fathers and despise
their mothers" is a saying which is
the key to the character OF the mulatto.
OF the mulatto women it is rather
more difficult to speak. They are
rarely good-looking, never beautiful
As they approach the white type they
have long, rather coarse hair, beautiful
teeth, small, fleshless hands and feet,
delicate forms and sometimes graceful
movements, due apparently to the
length of the lower limbs. Their
principal defects are their voices, their
noses and sometimes the inOrdinate
size of their lower jaw. Their voices
are harsh, their skins blotehy or of q
dirty brown, their noses flat or too feshy
and the jaw, as l have said, heavy.
Occasionally you see a girl decidedly
pretty, who would pass in any society,
but these are rare. In general they
are very plain, particularly when you
approach the black type, when the
frizzled hair begins to appear.-Gath

that the selection was not intended for any

this change of officials by our alleged "Re-

ing rumor from New York that Constantine,

Postmaster General that he might work the

Mec,,nr. of the "Church MilitaU" In
the Market Space and In Lotnscnae'I
Hall, on East Main.
A detachment OF what ID known as the
Salvation Army appeared in the Market Space
in this city, as advertised, at precisely halt
past two Sunday afternoon. About two
thousand people, Hebrews, Christians. Gentiles
and other people, gathered about the soldiers
promptly, who talked, sang and prayed for
few minutes, and then moved on to 10th
schuetz's Hall, East Main street, east Of
Spring, and the room was filled in about two
minutes after the door was reached by the
advance guard.
Capt. West, with five or six ''soldiers'-
men and women-occupied the platform,
over which were the words, on an arch !:
"Welcome to ALL" The women had tam
bourines, on which they made musical &C.
compartment to the songs that were sung;
which were mostly Gospel songs, to minstrel
music, and they were rendered with spirit and
feeling.
Capt. West made a. once good impression
by his earnest talk, in opening the meeting.
He gave little history OF the Salvation Army,
in which he stated that its operations were
carried on in all the great cities of the world,
and that the army was about 1000, 900
strong.
A young man from Dayton gave . very
touching account Of his conversion, young
lady captain" now in charge of the work in
Dayton, announcing that he was one of her
children. The young man said be had made
up his mind to "clean out the Salvation
Army" but that its members cleaned him
on: and broke him all up!
The meeting was thrown open to volun-
teers, and Mr.. J. J Brown, Rev. Mr.. Wous.
Mrs. Pimlott, Mr.. Pinlott "a molder at the
Engine and Thresher wsrks), Mrs. Keyser,
Mr.. James Neely and others, spoke.
Persons who wished to become Christians
were then urged to come forward, and two
young men appeared at the front.
Another meeting was held at the same
place Sunday evening, and they will be held
there every evening during the week.
The meetings greatly resemble, in style and
tone, the FIRST Murphy meetings
that were held here. The audience was quite
in composition, many being
present who never attend church or receive
religious instruction Of any sort. Captain
West has good deal of nerve, with consid-
,rable prudence. and with the assistance OF
