Mr.. r. Schuster, Of Fairfield, H.,
writes: 81 can not refrain from letting
you know what Pe-ru-na has done for
my wife. She had to cough and expec-
torate great deal, and was so short Of
breath that at times we thought she
would choke Finally she became so
weak that she could hardly walk, and
everybody that saw her said she had
consumption in the worst stage. She
had taken much medicine without any
results, and I thought my wife would
surely die. I saw DR.. Hartman's arti-
Gle in the paper, but must say that
did not have much faith that it would
help her. Nevertheless, I got bottle;
and, after my wife had taken but half
bottle, she said: I am feeling better
already; the medicine is helping me-.
We saw that she was improving; and,
after she had taken eight bottles, she
felt as well as she ever did in her life.
We esteem Pe-ru-na very highly"

A girl in bright maroon sweater.

And the neat way her covering fit her.
l Dedalied along at the scorchers mad

Which I felt was picture of maidenly
Perfection right up to the letter
How gracefully she sat on her beautiful
And onward she flew like fairy.
Her every motion from head down to

She seemed as bright-feathered bird on
Her boomers had such an affectionate
cling,
And her head had a proud and imperious
No queen could a prouder one carry.

The maid I was speedily nearing.
As onward we sped | endeavored TO guess
What sort of face she was wearing.

And slowed out of shape with that BIZ

And her lower lip hung on her ebony

Like a pound roll of creamery butter.

A NEW SCHEME FOR PLUMBER

The government has been very gen.
erous to those who fought to save the
Union. more generous than ever was
government before. The soldiers were
worthy of this generosity and the peo-
pie have not begrudged it; and the
soldiers have appreciated it all. But
there are some of those who fought in
the war who are making too many
pretensions. acting as though the gov
eminent belonged to them Some of
these are those who have held Office
under the government. and who are
showing far more of a grasDing than
a patriotic spirit.
The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record writes his paper
that some Of the old soldiers who are
being restored to their former positions
in the government are not satisfied
with an assurance of future employ
ment but are endeavoring to obtain
evidence upon which they can bring
suits for damages against the govern
ment for the wear and tear of mind.

THE PRESIDENTS CUBAN POL
ICy


The. president must have a distinct
Cuban policy of his own because the
country hears so much about 1t, but
what it is the country is not informed.
It appears to be only less mysterious
than the force that runs the Kelley
motor. Many hints of one thing and
another are given, all evincing great
wisdom on the part of the president.
wisdom so profound that when it is
made known the world will be aston
ished at it. But still the policy that
is the result of this wisdom remains
locked in the bosoms of the president
and his cabinet.
1t is not probable that the president
has any definite Cuban policy any more
than to see that the rights of all Amer
lean citizens are respected and TO
watch the development of events that
he may know when a change of policy
would be warranted. Of course he will
take heed of the action of the senate
on the question of belligerency. and
no doubt he would be glad to recognize
the independence of Cuba did he feel
that the facts in the case and inter
national law justified such recognition.
In dealing with another nation the
president is as much bound by inter-
national law as he is by the statutes
of the United States when dealing with
matters pertaining to this government.
So far as the public is aware. Major
Mckinley is pursuing the same policy
towards Cuba that Mr.. Cleveland did;
and for the same reasons. Whether he
has a different policy remains to be
seen.

ARE CHILDREN CRUEL OR Curl
Gus?

The proceedings of the convention of
wcmen's clubs have made quite inter
esting reading. Those engaged in this
club work are very much interested
in it, and they are stirring up eaca
others minds. Any intellectual pur-
suit that does net do this is not worthy
the name.
As would be expected, much consid-
Grafton was given to the subject OF
training children. One lady made the
assumption that the dominant feature
Of the ohild's character is dea.ruction,
rather than creation: while another
lady apparently inclined to the idea
that cruelty is the Distinguishing char
acteristic Of childhood. These are but
different phases of the same idea. We
should say that the dominant charac-
teristic of childhood is curiosity, and
if this be so, it readily explains beth
the ideas above referred to. A Child
may pull a toy or something else to
pieces, but the purpose usually is to
find out what is inside and how it is
made. This is well illustrated in the
old story of the boy who took violin
to pieces. and when asked why he did
so, replied that he wanted to see where
the music came from. Children, or.
most Of them, want facts, and hence it
is that when told anything their first
question is, usually: rs it true?"
If curiosity explains the destructive
faculty in children, it explains equally
well their seeming cruelty. 1t would
hardly be commended that a child can
be cruel if it has no intention TO be,
though what it does may be the cause
of such suffering that it would be
termed cruelty. A child that is uncon-
scious Of the effect OF its acts can no
more be cruel than locomotive engine
that mangles a man can be cruel. Take
the illustration of a child sticking
pin through a fly. The chief reason for
the child's action is its desire TO see
the fly make a struggle that interests
it. Take the case where a child places
a stick on a worm to see it writhe. The
motions of the worm interest it, but
it does not realize that the motions
are the result of pain experienced. The
number of children who will inflict
pain ucon any living creature when
once they understand that the doing
Of certain things to animals gives them
pain, and that to give pain causelessly
is cruelty, is very few indeed. There
are innately cruel children, but they
always realize that their acts Of cruelty
inflict pain.
The curiosity of children explains far
more than any theory of the tendency
of children to destroy or to be cruel
does. Their destrucsiveness and cruelty
are most frequently but the manifesto
ton of their curiosity.

A WOMAN'S IDEA OF EDUCA
TON.

If Mrs. Platt, the president Of the
Denver Women's club, lived in Salt
Lake City, we think we should advo-
school board. We should do this be-
cause of her good old-fashioned ideas
about education and her despisement
of fads and fol-de-rols.
We believe it is a just criticism of
the common school system of the coun-
try that the teaching of too many
things in the public schools is under
taken with a consequent sacrifice of
thoroughness. The teaching of so
many things may be thorough enough
but of necessity it cannot go so far
as it should. Better by far the three
RS well taught than all the alphabet
badly or only half taught. 1t sounds
very grand and very fiattering to the
vanity of parents to have it said their
the other. Do they really study them
or are they getting but a surface smat-
tering of them? If they get but a sur
face smattering of different things and
then pass on to the acquisition of a
smattering of more things, children in
evitably get the idea that their knowl-
edge of these things is sufficient, else
why would they be permitted to go on?
The teaching of too many subjects to
children has tendency to destroy their
power of concentration, the very thing
that should be cultivated.
1t is to be feared that there is every
where disposition to regard catalogue
displays of subjects taught and the
hours devoted to each of almost as
much Importance as the teaching it
self. 1t is very much easier to get out
a handsome catalogue than to live W
to its pretensions. A catalogue is to a
school a good deal like what a map
and plans of residence are to an addi-
ton.
Mrs Platt's sentiments received
hearty applause from the ladies; and
they deserved it all.

The Kansas City Star cannot under
stand the position of the Democratic
senatorial caucus on the Dingley bill.
Speaking of what may be termed the
reputation of the internal revenue
system of taxation, the Star says:
Senator Vest of Missouri, it is said,
viii offer an amendment to strike out
the clause which increases the internal
tax on beer from 81 to S1.40 a barrel
and he will be supported by all, or
nearly all, of his Democratic colleagues.
Upon what basis of reasoning these
pretended statesmen are proceeding is
not clear. One of the cardinal doc
trines of the party which they mis-
represent is that taxation must be for
revenue only, and one of its policies
is that the burdens should be placed
where they can be most easily borne.
The proposed increase in the tax on
beer would not be greater than that
on other articles of consumption. and
would scarcely be felt at all. Indeed,
if the increase had been to 50 a barrel
the total would then have amounted to
only about 20 per cent, while the aver
age duties Of the Wilson bill are 40
per cent. This being true, 1t is difficult
to understand why the Democratic sem

FINANCIAL WEATHER ALMA
MAC MAKERS.

There are people in the world who
believe the almanac makers regulate
the weather, and when they desire to
know what the weather for tomorrow
or next week is going to be. thew con-
suit their almanacs. 1t is quite impos-
sible for these almanac makers not to
hit it right occasionally during the S65
days Of the year, and whenever they do
strike it that is sufficient for those who
believe in them to continue their faith.
Mr.. Henry Clews, of New York,
banker, may be termed a financial
weather almanac maker His almanac
is issued in weekly instailments. and
forecasts the financial outlook with
much the same certainty and cock
sureness that the patent medicine al
manac man does. In his installment
of his almanac issued last Saturday
there appeared this financial weather
forecast:
Here, lin the United Statesl bust
ness is kept more or less unsettled by
the persistent agitation in the senate
of the recognition of the independence
of the Cubans. 1t is to the last degree
unfortunate that the very branch of
congress designed to hold in check wild
popular vagaries and dangerous out
burst of popular passion should itself
become the chief source of such dis
! turbances of public confidence; and
yet today we witness in that body little
else than such perversions of its pacific
functions. The attempt made by the
senate to force. the government to in
tervene in Cuba is little short of wicked.
Its effect can only be to still further
unsettle confidence by raising an issue
involving the very delicate question
of the respective rights of the president
and the senate, and for no better pur-
pose than to revel in a wild revolt
against safe and conservative methods
Of government The bad effect of this
legislation is not so much in any ex-
pectation that the president will per-
cation of his executive rights, as that
the highest house OF legislation should
have become so utterly untrustworthy
and dangerous.
What q country of resources this is
when an absolutely new and distinct
cause for the continued unsettled con-
dition of business can be found and
made to apply each week. 1t proves
that we are still a country of unknown
and unlimited resources. Up to No
vember 3, 1896, the one great cause of
the unsettled condition of business was
the free silver PROPAGANDA But that
cause ceased TO operate on that date.
while the unsettled. unsatisfactory and
improbable condition of business has
persisted all the while.
How strange that Financial Weather
Almanac Maker Clews should have
made the great blunder of saying that
the senate was designed ito hold in
check wild vagaries and dangerous out
burst of popular passion" 1t was de-
signed to represent the states as sep
arate and sovereign political bodies.
The theory of checks is incident to the
bicameral system of legislative bodies,
and applies TO one chamber no more
than to the other.
1t is altogether probable that when to-
morrow's installment of Clew's Finan-
cial Weather Almanac is issued the
discussion of the tariff hill in the sem
ate will be assigned as the true cause
Of the unsettled condition of business.

Down in Florida, at Ybor City, one
form of entertainment is fights between
wild cats and bull dogs. but this was
varied the other day when a big negro
and a wild eat fought. The negro came
off victorious, but he was nearly killed.
And when it was over he fell in a dead
faint from loss of blood. The account
of the fight says it closed amid a scene
Of great excitement, and that scores of
Cuban women ran and dipped their
handkerchiefs in the wild cats blood
as they say it is a specific against evil
spirits. 1t can hardly be that all these
Cuban women can be so lovely and re-
fined as they are always pictured in
the dispatches.

Speaking of the most recent toll gate
raid in Kentucky, the Courier-Journal
says: IF the people of these Blue
grass counties could be made to see
how odious their actions have been it
would not need armed men and special
legislation to put down these acts of
violence. 1t is fortunate for the good
name of Kentucky that there remain
some officers Who respect the consti-
tuition and the statutes. Now, if the
remaining raiders are captured and
the whole gang sent to the peniten
tiary, Bath county and the Bath coun-
ty authorities viii he entitled to the
praise of every lover of law and order
in the state. The raids have cost Ken
lucky millions of dollars in depreciation
of properties. and far more in self
respect, but a quick, sharp admins
tration of justice here will undo much
of the evil
