An Oriental Missionary Makes a Distin-
guished Convert In New York.
1t may be shock to orthodox Chris
tians to learn that, while the mission
aries which they have sent among the
believers of oriental faiths are making
a few converts, the orientals have re-
taliated and are quietly doing little
proselyting in this country. 1t is fact
though. For more than year deter
mined effort has been made here to in
troduce to the notice of Americans the
religion Of Buddha, and with more sue
cess than most people are aware of.

publicly admitted to the faith in New

MICHAEL EDEN
Writes a Letter TO DR.. Hartman,
Columbus, Ohio.

Michael Eden, Keokuk, Iowa, in a re.
cent letter to DR.. Hartman, says: "Your
medicine is not gold or silver, but the
health of my wife; and health is worth
more than gold. We have had your AL
manacs for years. My wife was ailing,
and told her to try Pe-ru-na. She re-
piled that one almanac said one thing
and the others another thing. That she
did not know whether Pe-ru-na was any
better than other medicines. But / told
her to go to town and get some Pe-ru.na,
which she did. My wife began to take
it Immediately, and in two or three days
she began to tslk differently, and say
that the medicine did her good. In a
week she was able to do the work. After
that she had a SICK spell and was cured
again. The doctors charged from 81 to
IS visit to ride out in the country; they
get their money but the sick one is not
we'll. But bottle of Pe-ru.na, which
costs 81, restores the health. My wife
was thin, feeble, no appetite, everything
hurt her, cramps, headaches and stitch
ing. But Pe-ru-na put everything in or
der. We keep Pe-ru-na always in the
house.

of his wounds. The duel took place at
Stuttgart, where DR.. Won Holleben was
stationed. Both principals were titled
young men, and the other second was
general in the Prussian army. DR.. Won
Holleben was severly criticised by the
press and public, but his imperial mas
ter evidently sanctioned his course, for
he soon after gave him a decoration
and now has made him an ambassador.
But in spite of his sanguinary repu-
tation DR.. Won Holleben will be warm
ly welcomed at Washington, where be
is we'll known, for he is ordinarily
jolly good fellow, q bon vivant and q
gentleman of refined and literary tastes
just what conditions are necessary to
develop his fire eating characteristics
are not known, for, although he was in
Washington as German minister from
1899 to 1898, he never exhibited other
than a peaceful disposition. He was
called when the post was raised to an
embassy.
DIR. Won Holleben has had an extend
ed diplomatic experience, having been
stationed. at Santiago, Chile; Tokyo,
Japan, and various European capitals.
He speaks English almost as fiuently
as his own language. He is bachelor,
but this need not cause any futtering

capital, for the kaiser strongly disap-
proves of his ambassadors making for
eign alliances of matrimonial nature

A DRESSMAKER'S
TROUBLES.
Eyes Strained, Nervous System Shattered and
Brain Affected, the Patient then

"A dressmalser, you know, is by the very
nature of her work compelled to overtax
herself in many ways. This is especially
true Of the eyes and nerves, and therefore the
brain and almost every other organ Of the
body Very often dressmaker must work
by lamp or gaslight, and thus an undue
strain is imposed on her optic nerves. The
result Of this over-tenson with me was
constant and severe headache, lassitude, loss
of appetite, and loss of sleep. Being in that
condition, my work was naturally performed
in perfunctory manner, and for q while /
was compelled TO rest entirely. While bend
ing over my machine or putting the finish

and that tired feeling--so well.known that
1t needs no description-but restored my.
appetite. The medicine did even more than
that. II made me strong and began to
increase In weight after buying the second
box. My appetite was more vigorous than
1t ever was before in my life, and / was
stronger and feshier. Before the second
box Of pills was exhausted had to stop
taking them because 1 was increasing so
rapidly in size and weight.
"It is scarcely necessary for me to say that
the pills cured me of my headache and all
the accompanying ailments. They did that
and built up my system wonderfully. I
now keep box Of the pills in my house all
the time, and whenever am troubled with
q headache or am feeling indisposed in any
other way, / simply take pill and drive
the ache, pain or weariness away. i have
recommended the pills to others who follow
the same occupation that / do, and they
have profited by the suggestion, and are as
sincere in their praise Of the medicine as 1
am"

densed form, all the elements necessary to give
new life and richness to the blood and restore

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
A SclENTlFr3 EXPEDITION TO INDIA
TO WITNESS IT.

Eight Months Of Preparation and Jour

of Two Minutes squint at the Eclipse.
On Jan. 22 next the moon will come be-

will be the result. In two sections of the
earth the coincidence will be exact, and
there the eclipse will be total One of
these sections is the eastern coast Of NADIA

prise will cost thousands of dollars, all for
the sake Of a two minute squint at the
midday yelling of the sun.
The expedition will be under the lead
ership of W. W. Campbell of the Lick OBJ
servatory, who is probably the youngest
astronomer to be intrusted with such an
important undertaking. He is 35 years
old. Professor Campbell is graduate of
