Floor cushions where the floors are
waxed and rugs are used are as popular
as they are useful and pretty. To make
them take two large squares OF burlaps
and in the centre of one of these squares
sew securely an upholsterer's spring
with Irvine and an upholstering needle.
In addition to this sew four springs that
are little smaller than the one already
used, one near each corner, about twelve
inches from the one in the centre. Then
pack curled hair around these springs
until they are covered and lay on the
extra piece of burlap and sew the edges
together. Over the upper side place a
thin layer of wool and cover the whole
with strong unbleached muslin. The
cushion is then ready for the fancy out
err covering 1t should be finished at
the edge with a cord.

Professor Schouler opened his remark
by saying that he disliked to be obliged
to differ somewhat from Mr.. Wilson, an(
that one in public life was more apt tt
agree than criticize. He believed there
were faults in the federal system of cleo
lions that should be corrected for feal
that much evil came from them He
did not believe that campaigns as con,
Quoted at present were of the highest
educational value to the people. 1t was
only an unwritten law, Professor Schoul
err declared, that stood in the way of a
President holding the office in perpetui-
ty. Rapid rotation in Office brought
mediocrity in candidates. Few Presi-
dents had accomplished anything endur-
ing except the Presidents who were re-
chosen. The presidential term had be-
come wanting in stability. The remedy
would be to give President second
or eight years.
Professor Schouler deplored the ex-
element caused by a presidential cleo
ton occurring every four years, and
contended that 1t was an evil that Pres
ident and Legislature should be in power
so long after the people had chosen their
successors. He would have the newly
elected President take Office the first of
the year and reorganize the government,
no time being left for the old President
and the old Congress to plot together.
Congressman Wilson was allowed
twenty-five minutes to answer Professor
Schouler. He called attention to the
fact that Hamilton had suggested to
Governor Jay a scheme for thwarting
the will of the people of the State of
New York when they chose electors ia
vorable to Jefferson, which Governor
Jay had scorned. He declared that he
could-not wholly agree that presidential
campaigns were evils because of the ex-
element they caused, and a hearty round
of applause followed his statement that
while four years might be too short for
a good President, it was altogether too
long for weak or bad one.

ASTRONOMY AND AsTR0L0GY.
The Science of Medicine and the Supers;i-
tions of Alchemy.

The astrologer of bygone ages taught
the people that their diseases were due to
some influence emanating from the stars
or other heavenly bodies. The courses of
the stars were supposed to govern the
physical and historical destinies of man
kind. Not only were they mistaken as to
the cause of disease, but their ideas Of
cure were equally absurd. The poor, be-
beguiled patient, whose disease was sup
posed to be under the malignant sway Of
some celestial body, was either turned
over to the saving power of the grOtesque
mixtures of the alchemist, or given up at
once to die. Aud yet these superstitions,
as strange as they sound to this enlight-
ened generation, like most other supersti-
tions, had their origin in partial truth.
There is most intimate connection be-
tween the condition of health of the in
habitants of our planet and the astrono-
mical cycle through which it passes every
year. During the winter season the north
pole of the earth has been tilted from the
sun, which allows only the slanting rays
of the sun to fall upon that portion Of the
earth's surface in which the United States
are included. This affects the health of
the people by exciting that class of dis
orders peculiar to winter. As spring APP
proaches the north pole gradually becomes
more and more tilted towards the sun,
which brings the sun more directly over
head. The rays becoming more perpen-
Gicular, are highly charged with electri ca
power. This new relation between the
earth and the sun produces another class
Of physical disorders peculiar to spring.
The symptoms are quite unlike in differ
ent cases, but the most common ones are
general lassitude, played-out, tired-out.
used-up. rundown feelings. combined
with more or less heavy, stupid, listless,
mental condition. Relish for food and the
ability to digest food seems to be lost Skin
eruptions, sallow complexion, biliousness,
coated tongue, fitful, irregular sleep, help
to complete the picture which is so COM
mon at this season. Life is a burden, busi-
ness a dread, pleasure mockery, friends
a bore and social privileges a tedious
round of disagreeable tasks.
Peru ma so exactly meets all these con-
ditions that the demand is so great for this
remedy at this season of the year that it is
nearly impossible to supply it, Carloads
of Pe-ru-na are shipped north, south, east
and west TO meet the ever increasing de-
msnd of the people for it.. 1t never fails
to bring immediate relief, and thorough
course of it leads with certainty to per-
manent cure.
Those desiring to become thoroughly
posted on diseases of spring and the proper
selection of a remedy should send at once
TO the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Co.,
of Columbus, Ohio for free copy of "The
Family Physician. No. g." a book entirely
devoted to this subject.

TIE Kelley Institute of Wichita has
found it necessary to expand their Office
and institute greater at 215 South Main
street. They have engaged the large store
room at PIT South Main and have fitted it
up as private offices, laboratory and recep-
ton rooms. The business of the Kelley
Institute at Wichita is increasing rapidly
as the people of the south and southwest
become better acquainted with the excel
lent results OF the treatment as eXemplified
by the cured men who have left the insti-
tute. The people are also becoming aware
of the fact that the genuine Kelley treat
ment is the only reliable treatment for the
liquor and opium habits, aud that while
there are many imitators of DIR. keeley's
treatment they are not at all effectual aud
very often dangerous. The list of good
men in the state who have taken the
Kelley cure Is increasing largely and the
Wichita institute i doing its share OF the
good work. DR.. W. A. Noble, we'll

gush in Jail, in default of bail in sums of
5000 add $4,000, respectively. The pre-
liminary hearing is set for next Saturday
at o'clock a. m.
The amount of money obtained by Sut-
ton on his fraudulent receipts is, it seems,
much larger than was at first estimated.
Attorney kohn declares that the pecuia-
tions of the accused will aggregate $780,
900. Cincinnati banks and bankers, it is
stated OH COED authority, will lose far
more than Louisville people. The frauds,
it was learned this morning, extend to
Kansas City, ST. Louis and other western
cities, and may be distributed through
many other places. A rumor has gained
currency that others besides Sutton and
Beecher are involved in the forgery and
distribution of bogus receipts. 1t is even
estimated that two we'll known citizens
who have been close 10 Sutton, may be
proceeded against in the courts.
