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 arc made,
to teach the leaders OF mighty armies and
the governors of vast empires. She Is
required to guard against having the
slightest faint of bodily infrmity 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
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 a strong and healthy
bodyS The preparation of DIR. S. b.
Hartman, and known as PERuNA, is Just
the thing for persons suffering from a ma
jority of the complaints incident to this
climate. 1t Is invaluable to women, and
Mrs. ]. w. Reynolds, Of New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio, is a noted cx-
ample of what the medicine can do. She
says she has suffered for years with con-
gcstion of the lungs, catarrh 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 PERuxA, and Immediately
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.. J.
w. Reynolds, her husband, was a con-
firmed invalid. He could not sleep well,
neither could he work. Housed PERUNA,
and as a result, was completely restored
to his former vigor and strength. He
says he now feels like new man.
Mr.. Bernhardt Seubs, st. Clair, St.

The next day another real estate man

and he pointed down toward the lot be-

Il don't know who discovered the

about sixty fe deep. This must have

at the first neighbor he sees stretched
out in the sand, and the two jump into
a boat and row out short distance
The man who is after the

his hand. Then he takes in his other
hand heavy stone. This stone is tied
securely to the end of long and strong

climate keep the divers at work in the
submarine springs for all they are

900 and now lives in and owns a house
opposite Washington formerly owned
by man who so hated the blacks that
he refused to sell anything to one OF
them. John F. Cooke, tax collector of
the District of Columbia, himself pays
taxes on S250,000. John NJ. Langston,
United States minister to Hayti, has

John Lynch, of Mississippi, who pre-

Din ner-Party Novelties.

Among curious inventions for such
occasions is the dish of marrow bones,
which has become highly fashionable
They are brought to the table folded in
a napkin, and if the reader inquire the
process it may be added that Tiffany
has invented cunning little spoon,
bucket'shaped and adapted to the pur-
pose of extracting the marrow. The
bones are served hot and the marrow is
eaten with thin crumpet. Such is one
of the ridiculous features in society
which is always demanding something
new.
Another thing that may be noticed in
this connection is the latest style in ice
cream, which is single form of some
'fancitul character. The favorite de-
sign is a flesh -colored Cupid, which is
made so natural and life-lik that at
first one is almost choked at the idea of
eating it. 1t seems too much like can
nibalism. After the first taste, how
ever, all such prejudice disappears, and
the lovely Cupid is devoured without
conjunction.

favorite dance was La Danza Guiana,

The novel investigations made by N.
Delaunay upon the subject of poStures
in sitting, as regards the extremities,
have led him to the interesting con lu-
SION that the left brain develops before
tho right, but finally the right pre-
dominates. The Chinese, he finds, cross
the left arm over the right, while the
Europeans cross the right over the left.
Robust children cross the right over the
left. Those who cannot work or are
idiotic do the contrary. A great many
women cross the left leg over the right;
while among opera dancers some always
cross the right leg over the left, but not
one crosses the left over the right
habitually. Infants under three years
cross the left arm over the right, and
when older reverse the position. Men
generally cross the right leg over the
left.

In The bulletin General de Therapeu-
tique DR.. ROux, wl.o has been making a
chemical study of abSinthc, finds that
its important elements are IL bitter prin-
e-absinthine-and volatile essen
tial oil. He attributes to the former the
favorable results sometime obtained y
the medicinal use of absinthe-results
which his own researches have confirmed.
But he finds that the oil of abSinthe is
distinguished from other essences by its
dangerous property of producing a form
of drunkenness characterized by epilep-

Ancient Customs In France.

Anciently, in many parts of France,
when sale of land took place, it was
the custom to have twelve adult witt
nesses, accompanied by twelve little
boys; and when the price of the land
was paid, and it's surrender took place,
the ears of the Toys were pulled and
they were severely beaten, so that the
pain thus inflicted should make an i'm.
preston upon their memory, and, If re-
CURED afterward, they might bear wit
ness to the sale. Later, when crimi-
nal was being executed, parents whipped
their children, so that they might take
warning by the example, and keep In
the path of virtue.
