notwithstanding that n great number OF
people have been cured Of chronic catarrh
by taking pe.ru-na during the past cold
season. yet IL cannot he denied that the
cold, wet, stormy winter has retarded many
cures, and IN some cases actually prevented
a cure. But, after unusual delay, spring
time has come at last, and now is the time
for all catarrh sufferers to begin system
attic course of treatment for this disease.
The greatest difficulty In the way Of treating
chronic catarrh is that the patient is so
liable to catch cold during the treatment,
and thus delay a cure. This liability at this
season of the year is in a great measure,
removed, and no one should neglect the
free catarrh book.
As a spring medicine Pe-runa is a never
failing remedy. II cleanses the blood
through digestion. and gives tone to the
whole system by increasing the nutrtive
value of the food Spring fever" as II is
sometimes called, which produces n tired
out, sleepy feeling, and inability to do much
mental or physical work. is the result of n
sluggish digestion, and no blood medicine
will be of any Use whatever unless II is able
TO rec,ify the impaired digestion. The great
popularity that pe-ru.na has Is due to the
fact that in all such cases II at once corrects
digestive arrangements and enriches the
blood by purifying this very important
source Of that vital fluid. Send for free

Out Of the great excitement Of the war
grew fantastic gayety, wild sort Of
Carmagnole frenzy. Society did strange
things. Women would dance the german
at a fashionable New York party with
their hair hanging in long streamers down
their backs, while the young men would
seize those beautiful tresses for reins
and drive the fair women with imitation
whips. Everybody was half mad. And
after the war was over these women, TO
whom philanthropy had become O busi-
ness, found it hard to return to the COM
mon everyday work Of life. So Mrs. 8.
M. X. Barlow, one Of the best and no
blest Of human beings, suggested that
we should help the south. We went TO
work again at the dramatic committee
and invoked Mr.. Wallack. Mr.. jerome
lent us the theater, and we really did
some very good works, producing plays
which were not stumbled through, but
had some resemblance to the real thing.
The money we made we sent to the cler-
gymen Of the south, who wrote Of indi-
vidual cases Of distress. II was our
pleasure to save the lives Of sick chill
dren who needed more delicate food than
their poor mothers could otherwise have
procured. Weused to receive most touch
ing letters. Thus was the first effort at
reconstruction attempted and carried
through successfully. We tried to fol-
low Grant at Appomattox and to be

MIR. Roosevelt rells a story or Two.

Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt is a practical
politician and has some good stories to
tell of his experiences while in the legis-
lature. In his address before the Liberal
club on Thursday evening he told some
of them.
One was Of a legislator who used to
ask him to support unconstitutional bills
"But, my dear FRIEND" Mr.. Roosevelt
would say, "it's unconstitutional 4
never allow the constitution to come te-
tween friends" was the reply, and thon
becoming very indignant the man would
add. "Mr. Roosevelt, the constitution
doesn't treat little things like that

The Original Four Hundred.

1t is generally thought that the saying
that the only people in New York worth
knowing can be numbered by 400 was
originated by Ward McAllister, but it
can be found in the Bible. Acts v, SO,
which speaks of Theudas boasting him
self to be somebody, to whom a number
Of men, about 400, joined themselves,
who were scattered and brought to
naught. The verse referred to reads as
follows, "For before these days rose up
Theudas, boasting himself to be some
body, to whom a number Of men, about
400, joined themselves, who were slain,
and all, as many as obeyed him, were
scattered and brought to nought."
Another verse worth mentioning in
this connection is from Samuel XIII 2,
"And every one that was in distress, and
every one that was in debt, and every
one that was discontented, gathered
themselves unto him. and he became a
a captain over them, and there were
with him about 400 men. n."--Keystone.

buying a Rare Book.

A good story was told on Sam Nc
Conaha at a certain book store the other
day. During the holiday rush he went
out to buy book for his little girl. He
went from one book store to another and
said, Il want a nice holiday edition Of
The Prodigal Son." No one seemed to
have the book. When Sam went home,
he did not say anything TO his wife, as
the book was intended as a surprise
Christmas present. The next day he de-
termined to 60 in further quest of the
book. But 1t was not TO be found. The
fun Of it is Sam wanted The Pilgrims
Progress" and somehow he got names
mixed. He said the thing flashed across
his mind in a dream two nights before
Christmas, and he then got the book that
he wanted. Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Abbreviatlon Of geological.

The tendency among English people to
clip long words into short ones, or even
into monosyllables, is notorious. Thus
"cabriolet" has become cab, Omnibus"
bus and so on. But the change Of 900
logical" into ZOO is. to any one who knows
the origin Of the word, the most exas-
rerating of all, and yet we now meet
with ZOO" in well written journals, and
see the word is being advertised as the
title Of a book.
There sanother variation, which comes
simply from bad pronunciation, as when
a coclney holiday maker tells you he
has been to the ''slogical." If "zoolog-
ical" is to undergo a shortening, like that
which has befallen omnibus and ''cab-
riolet," =" let it at least become 20. This
would be correct as far as it went and
would not be so excruciating as the de-
testable zoo.-Cor. Notes and Queries.
