A sCOURGE OF La GRIPPE
Is Raging Everywhere, Devastating
City, Town and Country Alike.

Nothing equal to it has ever been
known. We have had la grippe before
in this country in several well defined
epidemics, but not as we are having it
now. Everybody, everywhere, has it,
has had it or is expecting to have it.
In every paper we read of it. Every one
we meet speaks of it. Perhaps the
worst feature about la grippe is that it
is almost sure to leave consequences
behind it which are far worse than the
original disease. But it could not have
been otherwise than that some things
have been learned, during these seiges
with la grippe. Untold thousands have
learned these things but a still greater
multitude perhaps have these things yet
to learn.
First, that Pe-ru-na taken before each
meal and at bedtime will protect any
one from having la grippe. Second,
that Perru-na taken every hour during
the acute stage of la grippe will shorten
its duration and prevent the long train
of disagreeable consequences which fol-
low the acute attack. Third, that in
cases where Pe-ru-na has not been used
during the acute stage and the victim
finds himself dragging out a miserable
equistance from the damage to his sys-
tenn accomplished by la grippe, he has
only to take Pe-ru-na according to the
directions on the bottle to realize a
speedy and complete cure. The expla-
nation If this is hat Ia grippe Is
epidemic cattarrh. Pe-ru-na will cure
catarrh wherever located. 1t will cure
catarrh of every variety and stage.
Therefore it will cure la grippe, which
is simply The epidemic variety of acute
catarrh. During such a winter as this
no one should he without a copy of Dr..
Hartman's latest book which treats
fully of la grippe, acute catarrh, chronic
catarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis, con-
sumption and all other climatic diseases
of winter. Sent free to any address by

Company, Columbus, Ohio.

HOME SUNSHINE.
The Natural Product of Harmonious
Living.

The Natural Product of Harmonious
Living.
The world at best has many vexatious
things which crowd themselves into
our lives. 1t Is true that life is made up
of sunshine and shadow, and we can
only be truly happy by knowing howto
infuse the sunshine into our social and
domestic circles. The clouds come un-
hidden. but the sunshine can as well be
diffused " we live in the true possession
OF It. There is no place where God
means TO have US diffuse this light as in
the home, says the Christian World.
Parents are under certain moral OBJ
legations to make home radiant with
all that God has given us. He wants'th
shutters opened TO let the sunshine
of love and peace and harmony in. The
household where gloom and solemnity
alone reign is devoid of any attraction
for those whose lives are tied up in the
home. No soul can thrive and grow into
spiritual beauty which is shut up in the
gloom and darkness Of sinful and I'M
godly home. II is the sun of righteous
ness that brings warmth TO the soul. 1t
is this that makes home radiant. This
Is sunshine itself.
1t is worth all 1t costs 10 have n sunny
disposition, but those who have It not
can cultivate IL. 1t is something which
men can attain. 1t is something into
W hich all can grow. and our domestic
felicity and happiness largely depend
on the possession of a sunny soul. IT
is through the soul that men are made
10 reflect the divine likeness, and from
this must go out that principle that
elevates, purifies and blesses. Indeed,
this world would be gloomy were It not
for the light of truth in Christ. Some
one says:
"Home sunshine is the natural prod
uct of systematically hidden or dis
PEELED shadows of care, gloom and other
ayoidable Affections. There are also So
many little bitches in the harmonious
domestic management of nearly every
household that il requires continuous
tact to keep the way smooth and sustain
peace and comfort.
"Yet IL requires more than the con-
slant endeavor and earnest purpose of
one member Of a family To produce this
ever desirable domestic sunshine. II
must be cooperative-that is, every
member Of the household must take
special part in being ready TO nip in the
bud any disorder, dissension and dis
quietude, and thereby ward off all con-
stantly impending clouds that threat
en- TO obscure the cheering rays OF the
home sunshine.
Parents by mutual efforts of loving
patience and kindness toward each
other and their offspring, and children
by their respect and reasonable cbedi-
cnce TO their natural progenitors, can
perpetuate and increase that essential
home sunshine which sheds joy and
comfort throughout the whole world"

A scarecrow for Mosquitoes.

John Habberton states with the sol
emnity Of firm conviction that mos
quitoes are extremely frightened by
dragon flies and will not come within
yards OF them. lie says that one or
two dried dragon flies suspended from
fine silk under the roof OF ON open
porch infested by mosquitoes will scare
all Of the little pests away, and they viii
not come back while the dragon flies are
there. This, he says, he has tried with
surprising results. IL is n well-tnown
fact that dragon flies are predatory and
voracious insects, and that they sub
sist largely upon gnats, midgcs and
mosquitoes, and 10 is but natural that
the mosquito. who Is n wise insect
should regard the Spindle" "darning
needle" or dragon fly as the small bird
regards the hawk.--Newark Call.

The queen lately conferred the deco

master of the steamer Aidar, of Liver

the services In respect of which the dec
Grafton has been offered: At two n. IN.
on January 10. while the steamer Stat
fordshire of Liverpool was on voyage
from Marseilles to Port Said, signals Of
distress were observed TO be proceeding
from the steamer Aidar, also Of Liver
pool, and the Staffordshire immedi-
ateiy proceeded to her assistance. AS
the Aidar was found TO be sinking fast,
three OF the Staffordshire's lifeboats
were at once launched, and, with great
difficulty, owing TO the darkness and
the heavy sea, succeeded in rescuing
her passengers and crew, % in number.
At 6: 30 a. m. the only persons left on the
Aidar were Mr.. Norman (the mastery
and an injured and helpless fireman
whom he was endeavoring TO save, and
whom he absolutely refused TO ADAM

to remain near her the officer In
charge OF the rescuing boat asked Mr..
huffman for a final answer. He still
persisted in remaining with the injured
man. choosing rather to face almost
certain death than to leave him 10 his
fate. The men in the boat were obliged
to pull away, and Immediately after
ward, at 6:17 n m, the Aidar gave one
or two lurches and foundered. After
she disappeared Mr.. huffman was seen
on the bottom Of an upturned boat, still
holding the fireman. Half an hour
elapsed before the rescuing party could
approach, but eventually Mr.. huffman
and the fireman were picked up and

After the business of transferring

pleted, John Kenyon went to the tel

turned his steps TO the hotel, an utter

mine as soon as possible. There he
would get things in as good order as
possible and keep things going until
he heard from the owner. When he
got TO his hotel he wrote 20 Went
