THE GAS COMPANY
Has Something of Interest to offer..

One of the greatest inventions of the age Is the gas stove-no heat, no dust, no ashes, no soot; in truth. gas is a perfect fuel; will cook in half the time of a coal stove. With gas you can do peter cook ing, do it more rapidly and with less la- fuel. The gas company, in orler to get a day consumption for gas has reduced the price for fuel purposes to $1 per 1000 cu- bic feet. They carry ffrst-class line of gas ranges in stock, which they will take pleasure in showing to their customers at all times.

It is being constantly urged by the Tree silver men that all the money in the country is locked up in the banks. The Age-Herald, to show that even if this should be the case, it would not De such calamity after all, for this iocked-up money would be the basis of credit referred to the summer of 1s93. The Birmingham banks at that time re- 1used to pay out the money on deposits: but that did not stop business, nor cur tail to any serious extent the circuIat- Ing medium, for the banks issued clear ing house certificates, which answered local demands for a circulating medium. NOW comes the Daily State and saws the Age-Herald favors clearing house certificates. This assertion is a woefuI perversion of the Age -Herald's meaning. We simply stated in another way inc oft-repeated fact that 95 per cent of com merclal transactions is conducted with evidences of credit and not with cash We suppose from the Daily States per- turpatlon that it is opposed not only to clearing house certificates, but to checks. exchange, and all other means of con ducting business without the ready money.

DRAMATIC NOTES.

Bernhardt, Duse and Olga Nethersole are the three great Camilles-Bernhardt is artistic, Duse realistic and Nethersole natural. Some one will ask the differ ence between the two last named There is the subtle one of quality so says Lillian Whiting, the Boston critic she also adds: "Bernhardt makes the death scene exquisitely beautiful; Duse makes it grim and unutterably sad Nethersole makes 1t dainty and pathetic.
 They say that home for unfortunate actresses is needed in New York.
 MT. Goodall's new play, entitled "The Two Colonels" has been pronounced a failure by several critics.
 New York managers are trying to stop the sale of scalpers tickets. Mark Twains "Pudd'nheaded Wilson," a story in which the villain is caught and convicted of murder by the evidence of a bloody thumb point, has been dram atized
 Hypudtic influence is now being used Tor the reformation of drunkards and smokers.
 Living pictures have invaded the circus ring, and New York boasts a woman clown, who turns cart wheels, performs hand-springs etc. One more of mans

The town was small one, the theater little betta,t than an old barni tallow candles were used for the footlights The cowboys were to provide their own costumes: so. in addition to their usual clothing, they arrayed themselves in pride, and A Iot or "h1des," newly dried.

But during the performance Mr MoC,,I tough was noticed to occasionally dis play uneasiness-suspicion.

 Well, boys," dolefully answered John. you did not look much like savages, but, by gad, you smelled like 'em."

Randolph Churchill as a Model Son

A pleasant trait in the character of Lord Randolph Churchill is recorded in the character sketch of him in the Re view of Reviews" "The best thing about him." said MT.

Night after night he would go from the, house to his mothers side. nor would he sleep until he had told her all the fortunes or mfsfortunes of the day."-Philadelphia Times.

The electric lights have brought out a multitude of electric light bugs. The lights did not produce them, but only brought them in out of the woods. They could not resist the attraction of the sil- very gleam of the lights. These silver bugs cover the sidewalks and get in the way of those who are intent on pushing their business. Instead of obstructing the progress of commerce they are tram pied on and crushed under foot.

LIVER AND KIDNEYS.
EVERY SPRING THESE ORGANS NEED
 STIMTTT ATTNn

EVERY SPRING THESE ORGANS NEED
 STIMULATING.
 The liver is the great secreting laboratory of the body. The kidneys the great excret- ing gateways of the system. In the spring these organs generally become sluggish, and the blood is soon contaminated with impurities. When the liver is sluggish the result Is biliousness, jsundice, dyspepsia, sour stomach and constipation. If the kid- neys get sluggish in their action, the symp- toms are skin eruptions, nervousness, scant, high -colored and pale or abundant are caused by failure of either the liver or tho kidneys to perform their proper func- tfons.
 Sarsaparillas will palliate these symp- toms for tims, and nervines keep them back temporarily, but Peru na cures per- manently by removing the cause. Pe- ru-na ihvigorates the liver, stimulates the kidneys, quickens and strengthens the circulation of the blood, vitalizes and builds mp the nerves. Pe-ru-na is the greatest spring medicine, the surest of blood purifiers, the most lasting of nerve tonics. It is indorsed alike by the profess sional man and the workman, the rich and the poor. Those whose systems are run down from the effects of chronic catarrh, winter coughs, colds, la grippe, whooping cough, ind in Pe-ru-na an ideal tonic and restorative.
 MEDICAL BOOKS FREE.
 The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing com pany of Columbus, O., are offering free, postpaid, two medical books, one on ca- tarrh and catarrhal diseases, the other on spring medicines and spring diseases. These books contain the very latest and most reliable information on these import ant subjects.

 Why has the Metropolitan the largest patronage for regular meals of any res- taurant in town? It is because they aim to give value received, and the thousands who take their meals there are living testimonials of our assertion. The Sun day dinners of the Metropolitan are a thing to be appreciated, but the menu for the easter dinner today will eclipse them. Call and be convinced. We don't call 1t a banquet, but that is what the menu for our Easter dinner today really amounts to. You may think we are boasting. but trial will convince you, and you will wonder how it can be done for only 26 cents.

We beg to submit the following obser- vations to the thoughtful contempla- tion of a correspondent in the Daily State who undertakes to answer an argument put forth by this paper.
 Standard silver dollars are unlimited legal tender, except where the contract calls specifically for gold.
 Jefferson discontinued the coinage of silver dollf rs. according to the argument of the Daily State, because they were intrinsically worth more than their face value and were exported; they could not be kept in circulation in this country, the over-valued gold crowding them out. That is in line with the arguments of the sound money men today. At the coinage ratio silver is now the over-valued metal, and if there was no limit to It's coinage at the ratio of 16 to the under-valued metal today (gold) would just as surely leave our shores as the under-valued silver did in the time of Jefferson.
 The observance of Easter is becoming more general every year. Some of the churches that formerly paid no attention to the day now honor it with decorations special music and appropriate services. This marks the growth, not only of re- ligious sentiment, but of aesthetic taste. The love of the beautiful is growing every year. We are getting farther and farther from the old puritanical idea that would crush out all that is lovely. We are clinging closer and closer to what soever is lovely, whatsoever is pure, whatsoever is of good repute. No more do the Jonathan Edwards of the pulpit hold a sinner over the lake that burns with fire and birthstone and describe his torture in language that made his hear CTS shriek with horror. Light is break ing in the East-the sun has risen-the darkness fiees-Heaven lies all about us.

TREATMENT OF SUNSTROKE.
New Electrical Device by Which Patients
Are Easily Handled

New Electrical Device by Which Patients
Are Easily Handled.
OF late treatment IN sunstroke cases
has altered materially. The old treat
ment included warm drinks and hot
applications to the body, with view of
drawing the heat from the head, as well
as iced applications TO the head. Now,
says the New York Sun, the patient is
immersed in very cold water and kept
SO until the abnormal temperature de-
creasss. Some remarkable cures have
been effected by this method of treat
ment. The new apparatus is designed
for the transfer of the patient to the
bath. 1t is worked entirely by cleo
tricity. 4 sort of hammock suspended,
not from the ends, but from the sides
between iron bars, Is the receptacle for
the sufferer. The end of this hammock
at which the head lies is higher than
the other end. The bars are suspended
by chains from wheeltrucks overhead,
running on tracks, and both the motion
backward and forward of the trucks
and the raising or depressing of the
hammock BY means of the chain are
controlled by the electric apparatus.
On the entrance of the patient the
hammock is lowered and he is gently
slid from the stretcher into It A turn
of the motor wheel lifts him, and
another turn sends him moving along
until he is directly over a tub contain
ing water iced to the desired tempera-
ture. Then the machinery lowers him
slowly into the tub until only his face
remains above the water. Ice Is packed
around his head, and he is left there
until his temperature Is lowered to
point where it is deemed safe to take
him out. Then the machinery gently
lifts him again and transfers him TO .
pallet at the side of the room. II sec
ond iced bath is no: necessary the pa
tent Is then removed TO one of the adj
Joining wards. This method of hand
ling is not only attended with less TAR
ring to the patient than any other, bat
it also saves the doctors and nurses
much exhaustive work, particularly in
the case OF heavy patients. The sppa-
ratus was designed by Or. Lewis A
stimson, attending surgeon TO the
House of Relief.
