Cases of as long standing as this opt
often have to take much more thar
three bottles of PERU ma before cure
is effecsed, although it is by no means
rare that three bottles are sufficient.
Notwithstanding that day after day
we are in receipt of letters from CRATE
full patients who like the above, have
been cured of catarrh, yet thousand
of people 60 on asking the oft-repeat- :
ed question, Can catarrh be curedE
Certainly catarrh can be cured. Thou
sands are cured of whom we never
hear by taking Peru ma. Thousands
are cured who write of the fact, ask
ing us to publish their. letters for tn
benefit of others. But an unnum
bered multitude of people whose live,
are made miserable by chronic catarrh
Abave yet to hear or become convinced
that Pe-ru-na is precisely the remedy
for which they have been vanly
searching all these years, Pe-ru-n'

be in every household, as it contains t
great deal of reliable information a.
to the cure and prevention OF all ca
tarrhal and kin lred diseases.

Making AIlOYs Is an Art.

Great art is requisite in making alloys
1t is true that they are readily formed
by melting metals together in crucibie
or in properly constructed furnaces, but
it is necessary to insure perfect fusion
and to prevent loss. Zinc is a volatile,
infammable metal and easily catches
fire. Indeed, it is not at all uncommon
to find that two alloys of exactly the
same component parts differ very ma
terially in properties, in consequence of
difference in the mode of preparation
or in the care bestowed upon it.-Cham-
bers' Journal.

All Modern warships Are Rams.

All turreted ships are called monitors
after Erfcsson's celebrated ship, Mon.
itor. All modern warships are meant
to ram, and to that end are built with a
projecting PROV under water extending
to considerable distance from the reg
ular bow line. There are no vessels
known as rams nowadays. Ericsson's
Monitor was not built with projecting
prov or beak. As a matter of fact, all
modern ships Of war are rams in every.
thing but name Brooklyn Eagle.

A Teacher with Presence of Mind

Teacher with Presence of Mind.
The Fourteenth district school build
ing at the corner of Freeman and Poplar
streets was the scene of what might
have been terrible panic recently.
Only a plucky little teachers prompt &C.
ton and true heroism prevented mad
rush of more than 100 little children
down two flights of stairs and the almost
unavoidable crushing and mangling of
dozens of little forms. The children had
just assembled in the third grade room,
and the teacher, Miss Bessie Williams,
had given several permission to dry
their clothes before the stove. One of
these, little Mamie Sites, aged eight
years, it seems, got too near the open
door, and her dress was drawn in.
The clothing blazed up Immediately,
and with scream the little one made o
wild rush for the door leading down
stairs. A second later every pupil in the
room was out of its seat and running to-
ward the stairway. Miss Williams, how
ever, reached the door first, and bracing
herself against it, caught the burning
figure and beat out the fire with her
hands. By this time nearly all the chill
dren and teachers in the building were
on the scene, but quiet was soon restored.
The unfortunate child was not badly
burned, but was allowed to go home.
Miss Williams hands were severely
blistered and badly burned in several
places, but she kept nobly at her desk
and taught the class through the day

Southern Women

The women of the south are yet in
that transition stage which must come
between earnestinquiry and interest and
the full acceptance of the new methods
and opportunities for women. They
are naturally anxious to know of their
increased privileges, and to see the open
doors, but there is no aggressiveness
On the contrary, the typical southern
woman, though active and capable, al
ways prefers to feel and to have the
world believe that the men of the family
are the leaders, fully able to take care

Actresses in Newspaper Offices.


Mrs. A. M. Palmer, Miss Georgia
Cayvan, Mrs. Agnes Booth-Scheffel and
Mrs. Edward E. Kidder, the executive
officers Of the women's committee for
the Actors fund fair, are working very
hard. On Wednesday these four ladies
started out after breakfast, under escort
of Mr.. Daniel Frohman, to secure the
aid of the newspapers in giving publicity
to their amiable plans. They courage
ously climbed long flights of dusty stairs
and ventured into dingy elevators in
order to reach the editorial dens. Dur
ing their peregrinations these ladies
learned good deal about newspaper
life, and were astonished to see rooms
and desks Uttered with torn paper and
exchanges. Mrs. Schoffel now knows
that a "stickful" is twenty-four lines of
type, and she understands how news is
collected and edited. Miss Cayvan
proved her capability as a secretary by
clearly presenting the scope of work laid
down by her committee. Mrs. Palmer,
as president, knew what the committee
wanted published, and suggested an out
line in very delightful way, while Mrs.
Kidder added her charming influence.
These ladies did not conclude theil
tour until 6 p. m, when Agnes Booth
and Georgia Cayvan had to hasten home
for hurried dinner, as they had to be
in costume at Palmer's theater and the
Lyceum before the curtains rose at s
o'clock. That the Actors fund fair
will be a success is assured when four
delicately bred women undertake such a
task as these ladies performed on
Wednesday.-New York Advertiser.

WOMAN'S WORLD.
KATE FIELDS POSITIVE IDEAS CON-
CERNING WOMAN'S DUTIES.

The Cooperative Home Association-Ac-
tresses in Newspaper Offices-southern
Women-A Teachers Presence of Mind.
Items of Interest for Housekeepers.
Miss Kate Field, the author, lecturer
and traveller, is very positive woman.
If you ask her question she replies to
it very frankly, yes or no. But If she
doesn't understand the matter she
promptly asks why. Talking to her the
other day about what women are doing
in the various fields of labor, l asked
her if she noticed that women were
really making progress. Frankly she
answered: 81 know nothing about it,
But do know this, that mothers and
wives are singularly remiss in one i'm
portant department of life The per-
centage of women who know how to
cook, how to dress properly and how to
educate their children is very small
They begin wrong. They have never
studied the chemistry of foods, for ex-
ample. Some of them cannot tell to
save their lives when food is properly
prepared. They use no judgmentin the
foods they select for themselves and
their families, and they know little
about cooking. It is the same with
dress. They follow the fashion, regard
less of all hygienic laws, simply because
it is the fashion, and they are ignorant
Of the laws of health.
One of the greatest necessities of our
day, I think, is that more attention
shall be paid to physical culture. Moth
ers should learn to understand the i'm
portance of this most important of all
things in life. They should begin by
instructing their children properly, SO
they may become healthy and strong.
Then they should see that they are
properly dressed and have sufficient
amount of nutritious food to sustain the
body. 1t is easy enough for the women
of America to make the next generation
the most splendid one in our history if
they will only pay some attention to
themselves. When they have done this
it will be time enough to begin to talk
about women's progress. Foster Coates

The Cooperative Home Association.


There is no greater public need at the
present time than for plan for coop
erative housekeeping, which shall pro-
vide in large cities refined homes within
the reach of people of moderate means,
and at the same time do away with the
burdens of individual housekeeping.
An association which aims to answer
all of these requirements is about to be
formed in this city. Its main object is
to band together people who wish to
share in cooperative housekeeping.
The general plan is to hire large
houses in different locations to suit the
various tastes and means, and to rent the
rooms in these houses to members at a
little above actual cost of rent and run
ming expenses, the percentage above
cost to be used as a sinking fund. The
cost of the public parlors, reception and
other public rooms, and of general at
tendance, will be shared equally by resi-
dents.
1t is expected to supply each house
with telephones, district messenger call
and every convenience, and as the asso-
citation grows it is hoped that reading
rooms and gymnasiums may be opened
in large houses. 1t is proposed also to
form reading circles and to have lee
lures and musical entertainments given
occasionally in the parlors.
If the residents of any house so de-
eide, the large parlors may be rented
once or twice week to societies and
the proceeds applied to the payment of
general expenses. Vacant rooms may
be rented in the same way to parties
who are not members.
1t is hoped the membership will be
large enough to warrant opening one
house on April New York Business

4 Republican Ally.

The people have to choose between Har-
rison and Cleveland. The Peoples party
is an ally of the Republican organization.
Every vote cast for Weaver in Democratic
State is a vote for Harrison.
The peoples party serves merely to delude
the distressed and to hold out false promises
of the success OF a score of ill-considered
and impossible measures.
The sub-treasury scheme would give the
spectators control of the money market,
and enable them to fix the prices of all
farm products.
The land loan scheme would be no help,
for to-day men with land can get loans that
in the end would be less costly than govern
ment loans. The government has nothing (;
all that it can get comes from the people
The whole plan is the dream Of fanatic or
the device of a scOundrel
Government ownership of railroads would
end free institutions government telegraph
would be boon to the sporting fraternity
and to the spectators aud merchants, il
rates were lowered, but the inevitable loss
would have to be made good by taxes on
the farmers, laborers and others who seldom
use the telegraph.
The free coinage of silver is at present
unattainoble, and is not the only measure
of currency reform.
But currency reform must wait for tariff
reform. With wider markets we could get
some relief from our currency difficulties.
The farmer wants more for his cotton
crop, for hi wheat crop, and he is entitled
to more.
The Peoples party offer nothing which
will really increase The returns for farm
products.
The more buyers the better prices, and
freer trade means wider markets and more
buyers Courier JommaL

Unlcorthy Criticism.

The Parkcrsburg State Journal has always
been esteemed by Us as fair minded jour
nal. but an editorial in It's last issue con
cerning Senator Faukner's connection
with the railroad strike of 1877 is GER
tainly unworthy of It's reputation Senator
Faulkner was in command of militia
company at MartinSburg, and obeyed the
orders of his commander in-chief, the gov
ernor OF the Sla'e. His conduct implied
no sympathy with the strikers nor any ap-
prOval of the reduction proposed by the
railroad company in their employees wages.
He was not responsible in any way for the
strike. His position was precisely that oc-
cupied II. present by Capt. Anderson and
General Carnes in Tennessee, General
Snowden in Pennsylvania, and the com
manding officers of the New York regiments
at Buffalo. Nobody accuses General Snow
den of responsibility for the strike at Home
stead nor for Carnegie's brutal treatment of
his men. And so with Senator Faulkner !;
he did his whole duty as man, no more,
no less. No criticism was ever attached to
lis conduct upon that occasion until an ed
itor. who was then not resident of the
State, and presumably ignorant of our local
history, has misrepresented facts and de-
scended to puerile arguments solely for par
tisan and malignant purposes 4Hartias5urg

Di.tribution of tho Protected Bonus.


Hon. Roswell G.. Horn said some time
ago in the New York Tribune that "the
tariff is levied in the first place simply
to enable the people Of the United States
TO pay the high wages everywhere pre-
vailing in this country" Yes, it may
enable some Of our manufacturers to
pay higher wages, but they seldom do
so. They have other uses for the bonus
which protection puts into their pockets
some Of it goes for castles in Europe
and some to hire Pinkertons to compel
worklnen to accept lower wages, but
the largest portion of all is invested in
lands, stocks and first mortgage bonds
TO enrich the tariff benefciaries and an
mex them to our army Of millionaires,
which has increased 10000 per cent.
since high protection began thirty years
ago. The portion that reaches the wage
earners, even in a second handed way,
could be carried with safety in tissue
paper purse. Perhaps Mckinley was
right when he said at Providence last
April that mo one ever claimed that
protective tariffs were intended TO in
crease wages" IL was only intended.
as Mr.. Horr explained, TO enable higher
wages to be paid. There is a sharp dis
tinction here which has caused consid-
cradle misunderstanding. 1t will be
well for wage earners to make a note Of
il for future use.

prnleolinr American Labor.

Scarcely an immigrant ship comes
from Europe that does not contain her
quota Of imported laborers, and it is
this system Of importation that causes
so much decentralization Of labor and
distress at times in the mining regions
of Pennsylvania. As soon as the i'm
ported laborers understand their rights
and threaten to strike in defense Of
them, southern Europe is drawn upon
for fresh importation, and thus the
supply is kept constantly in excess of
the demand.-Philadelphia Record.
