THE FOUR SEASONS.
AS Viewed by the Doctor, Rather Than
the Artist.

the Artist.
We often see in the magazines reproduce
tions of famous paintings representing the
Four Seasons. They are generally person
ated by beautiful women, and the typical
spring is generally young girl. She is
buoyant and elastic, her eyes are full of
fire, her form lithesome and graceful. Her
cheeks flush with health and there breathes
from the canvas the impression of radiant
health.
1t Is true, we sometimes see our young
women in such state of health in the
spring-time; but it Is the exception. De-
preston and languor are generally In evil
dence and the dropping, listless figure of
the school girl, the dragging step of the
housewife, are seen in nearly every home.
Perfect health is rare in any season, but
this is especially so in the spring. The
great majority of the people need tonic in
the spring. There are great many tOnics
and they are all taken by the people to a
greater or less extent. But the one that
seems most popular at this time of the year
is Pe-ru-na. 1t strengthens tbe weary body,
invigorates the nerves and clears the mind.
1t leaves no bad effect upon the system
when it is discontinued. The fact of the
efficacy of Peru ma as a spring tonic is be-
coming more widely known every spring.
More Pe-ru-na is being taken this spring
than ever before. The people have learned
that it is unfailing, and so do not expert
ment, but Immediately buy Pe-ru-na when
the old listlessness of "spring fever" over
takes them.
Any one who desires Dr. Hartman's latest
book on this and kindred subjects may OBJ
tain one free by addressing The Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus,
Ohio.

Good Thing for Young Men Who Have
to De Economical.
The greatest genius so far is the in
ventor Of the rotary shirt front. This
is stiff circle about Is inches in diam
eter, with buttonhole in the center
for the shirt stud to faSten it to the or
binary white shirt. This circle of linen
is divided into four equal parts, each
quarter on both sides being of differ
ent pattern of percale.
This shirt bosom can be worn for eight
days, or, in other words, it is an eight
day shirt. If the green quarter of the
shirt front is worn on Monday a quar-
ter turn of the disk will bring it around
to black and white check for Tuesday.
For Wednesday a red seaweed on u
white ground would make a pleasant
change, while a beautiful delft pat
tern in blue apd white rose leaves might
prove a rest for the eyes on Thursday.
On Friday, the day of i'll luck, might
be cheered by a pink horseshoe on a
white ground, with jockey cap and
whip, while the programme could be
varied on Saturday with Persian pat
tern in gaslight blues and heliotropes,

ALAsKA'S PETROLEUM LAKE.


SAN FRANCISCO, Asg, 2.-While the
whole world is excited over the gold
discoveries in the north sight has been
lost of another discovery that promises
to be of great value in the develop
ment of that section. Some months
ago lake of almost pure pc
troleum was discovered, and sam
pies twere sent to Seattle for
analysis. The assayer's report on
these has just been made public, and
the find is reported to be of iucalcula-
BILE richness.
A company has been formed in Seat
tie to handle the product and travel
ers from there say that the company
intends to put it on the Alaskan mar
llet at once, The lake is of unknown
depth, several miles wide, and five to
six miles in length, and the quality
of the petroleum is said to be of the
finest 1t is fed by springs, and the
hills surrounding it are said to be
rich in coal and asphalt The lake is
only two miles from the ocean, SO that
the difficulties Of transportation are re-
duced to a minimum. 1t lis the eXpeC-
tation of the owners of the lake to take
its product into the mining camps of
northern Alaska wherever the water
ways viii permit.
