HALF SICK.
The Condition of Hundreds of
Women.

There are so many women, especially
married women, who drag themselves
around from year to year, without any
particular disease, and yet miserable
beyond description. They ache and
tremble and throb, growing more ner-
vous, tired and debilitated every day.
For all this class of sufferers Pe-ru-na
is the most perfect remedy in exist
ence.
Mrs. c. C. Filler, 1872 South Fourth
street, Columbus, Ohio. writes: Il had
almost given up in despair, when I
heard of Pe-ru-na. 1t was about six
years ago that l first took Pe-ru-na. l
found it an immediate relief to all my
disagreeable symptoms. 1t is the only
medicine that has ever been of any use
to me. Before 1 began taking Peru
ma l was in such state of health that

Chester, Pa, Sept. 17-Constable
Thad Shinkle and officer Taylor today
arrested Edward Dredden ct his home
near Brookfleld, Chester County, on
the charge of causing the death of
John Rudolph. Dredden was brought
to this city tonight and held for a
further hearing tomorrow.
In a skylarking bout on August 1
Dredden attempted to kick Rudolph's

ear and proved fatal, and now Ru-

act, as the two had been enemies.

that is nothing but a bunch of sable tails set in a frill of organdie tied up in several yards of narrow ribbon and finished off just to be saucy with bunch of violets or three or four long, stemmed roses. The belle of the mo- ment is certainly bundle of the com bined allurements of all the seasons. Look at her huff if you don't believe it.
 The newest outdoor muffs are of the flat shape shown in this picture, and on them fur and laces are frequently combined. Matching the fur to the bodice is a common trick, but rarely is it accomplished in such novel way as in the costume shown here. The huff was made of black cheviot, the dress material it's satin bow matched that of the stock. collar, and it's diag- onal band of fur and head were repeat ed on the bodice in the manner indicat- ed. Aside from the fur trimming, the bodice was drawn across the front in surplice fashion and fastened at the side with huge steel buckle, Double epaulets of black satin capped the tight sleeves, and a band of the fur edged the skirt hem.
 For a woman whose complexion is seriously marred it is a wise plan to shroud the face in very fine tulle or gauge, over which comes a coarse mesh, large-dot veil. At little distance the tulle does not show, and yet the com plexion is much softened by it. A few wells are shown with black mesh sprin- kIed thickly with colored dots. When the dots-are becoming and harmonize with the coloring of the hat the effect is good. FLORETTE.

ONE CHEERFUL RECORD.

At the beginning of each year there are published saddening records of deaths, losses by fire, famine and pes tilence, murders. lynchings, etc, etc. It is a relief to turn from contempla- tion of these unpleasant lists to a cheerful record which has been made up and published by the Chicago Trib- une. From this record it appears that the total amount of money given by private individuals in sums of $1,OOO or more to educational and religious insti- tutions, charities, libraries, hospitals, museums, etc, in the United States in 1896 was no less than $33,670,120. This is an enormous aggregate, and the showing, as compared with the preced- ing two years, is gratifying. In 1895 the total was $4,OOo,O0o less and in 1891 s1S,oo0,ooO less. What the aggregate of the gifts under $1 900 was cannot be es- timated, but doubtless it reached a very small percentage of the whole. Of the s33,oOo,OOO thus given away by benevolent persons in this country in the year, nearly one half went to col leges, and about s100oO,0OO to charities.
 This shows that all the rich do not make a poor and selfish use of all their riches If many of those who rail against them had done as well in proportion to their means as those who contributed the vast sum above-men- tioned that vast sum would have been vaster. As it is, it is encouragingly large

cYLINDRiCaL COTTON BALES.

As long ago as 1881 MT. Edward At kinson called the attention of cotton planters merchants and manufacturers to the slovenly way in which most cot ton was sent to market; to the great loss this entailed upon all engaged in the business; to the trouble, annoyance and extra expense to which cotton spin ners were subjected by it, and to the great profit that the South would as- suredly realize from the general adop- tion of some method that would save waste, reduce the cost of handling and transportation and deliver it at the place of final consumption in as fine a condition as when 1t left the gin. He urged practical men to study this ques- tion and call on ingenious mechanics to devise perfect baling machine.
 Practical men and ingenious mechan- ics did study this question and as a result the cylindrical baling system is now in some use and will soon be in mbre It is announced that a cylindri- cal baling machine has been brought to perfection. What 1t will do Is illus trated by the fact that the other day an Illinois Central box car arrived at St. Louis with thirty-three tons of cot ton in cylindrical bales. Had this cot ton been In the old fashioned bales, no two cars could have transported it. The burlap covers cost but eighteen cents pale, while the covering of the old fashioned bale would have cost a dollar, and the "tare" on the cover is but four pounds. as against $1 per bale by the old process.
 This invention has done all and more , than Mir. Atkinson called for when he adnlonished the South to abandon "the barbarous way of handling cotton. " | The cost of the baling process is less than by the ancient system; the cost ol OoVci aHG idloiiiie ItdS peei greatly reduced; the cotton is not exposed to the weather, and all dirt and mud are excluded. Competed in cylindrical form, it will not take fire though the covering should burn, and consequent ly comes a reduction of insurance | rates The new baling system is a very important matter

ENTERTAINING.

It is interesting to notice how some of the politicians who, for personal and other reasons, started out to obstruct the good roads movement have hauled in their horns. It has been discovered that there are about 5OO0o voters in this State thoroughly interested in and in favor of that movement and that op- position to it is not going to be a source of strength in ambitious politics Hence the transformation scene. It is good thing that the discovery has been made. Those who are advocating good roads are acting for the best interests of the State. Good roads are convenient, comfortable and truly economical No short-sightedness or mistaken notions of economy should be allowed to check or hamper the road Improvement which has been 50 well begun here and which has been carried on so competently and faithfully by the present highway com mission.

 On the 9th of May, 1705, the soldiers of the Hotel des Invalides were ranged in line in the great Court of Honor. It was touching to see two thousand brave fellows, all more or less mutt lated in war, pressing roun, the ban ners which they had won in many a bloody fight. Among these victims ol war might be seen soldiers of all ages Some had fought at Fribourg or Ro- croy; others at the passage of the Rhine, or the taking of Maestricht; a few of the oldest had assisted in the capture of La Rochelle under Cardinal Richelieu, while one or two could even remember the battle of Mariendal un- der Turenne.
