America Ahead Peculiar characteristics
of Americans-The Evils and How Re-
stored.
In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead in
the furtherauce of noble works, and in the
advancement Of the sciences and arts. In
these they deserve to take high rank, and
through the united works Of millions, the
American continent is fast being trans
formed from its untamed state and being
placed on an equality with the older con-
tluents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people are fast under these influences,
developing into nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business qualih-
cations: vet there is danger that IN the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the ruinatiOn Of the physical
character Of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly and seems to
be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively ad-
vertised for this widespread complaint, but
none of these have been so successful or
met with such general favor as the remedy
manufactured BY DIR. s. B. Hartman and
named BY him PERUSA.
Mr.. S. S. Cloudy, of Massitlon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep
STA for several years; that he was induced
TO try PERUSA for his complaints, and that
after using three bottles of the medicine he
was greatly relieved. 1t braced him up
and gave him energy, and restored him to
his youthful vigor He sscribes his cure to
PERUNA, and says it is q wonderful remedy

HOW AXES ARE- MADE.
Pittsburgh the Great Center of the Manu-
faoture in America.

Pittsburgh the Great Center of the Manu-
faoture i'm America.
The manufacture of axes in Pitts
burgh is in amount about double that Of
any other city in the United States, and
about equal to the combined produc-
tons of all other places. The greater
part of the, trade is reached through
Baltimore, st. Louis, Chicago and New
Orleans, as distributing points. Com
petlng manufactures are located in
Boston, Collinsville, n. H., Lewistown,
Pa, and in Michigan. The handles are
made chiefly in Ohio and Indiana. Only
a comparatively small number are sold
with the axes, as purchasers at retail
most frequently prefer to select han
die to suit their tastes. The demand
for axes with handles already adjusted
is said to be constantly increasing.
In the manufacture of axes the ma
terial passes through twelve difleren,
operations before it is ready for label,
ing and boxing. At first it is a rect.
angular piece of iron, about three.
/ fourths of an inch thick, three and ono
! half inches wide and about six inches
long. The bit is of steel, and in some
instances is inserted in a slit made in
the iron, and in others it is drawn over
the edge of the iron. There is grow.
ing demand for axes made entirely OF
steel. The most important part OF the
process of manufacture is the temper
ing. This is really where the axe is
made" said a manufactures The
grinding and polishing is the most Ia
borious part OF the process. 1t is here
that the rough, irregularly shaped sem,
blance of an axe is ground and polished
until it is bright as mirror tls sne

How Rural LetterCarriers in England and
France Overcome Typographical Dim
culties.
Bicycles and tricycles now help many
of our rural postmen to "make good
time" as they say in America, provid-
ed their beats lie in fairly level country,
with tolerable roads. But l am not
aware that, the letter carriers of the Fen
districts have profted by the wisdom of
their French brethren in the depart
ment of Landes, that desert region of
reedy marshes, and evershifting sands,
only traversed by muddy, uncertain
roads. Year by year, owing to the
prevalence of westerly winds, the dunes
Gas these sand-hills are called) en-
croach more and more on the fertile
tracts, actually overwhelming houses
and vineyards, or in the forests of cork
trees, are scattered the wretched
hutS of these people, who are mostly
shepherds, cork-cutters and charcoal
burners. One of their chief industries
is the manufacture of sabots, or wooden
shoes, clumsy indeed, but warranted to
stand any amount of wear-and-tear.
But even these active peasants find it
exhaustive work alternately to trudge
ankle-deep in light, dry sand, or through
oozy peat-moss, so they have borrowed
a hint from the long-legged water-birds
that stalk among the marshes, and have
adopted the plan of walking on very
lengthy stills. Thus they get over tho
ground at double pace, and being well
raised above the world they can Keep a
better lookout for their stray sheep or
swine, or the position of such game as
may be worth stalking at leisure. 80 Cas-
