A W0MAN'S LETTER.
Concerning Dr. Hartman's Free Treatment
 for Women,

I received your book on Gynaecology and commenced the use of your medi- cine at once. I took five bottles of Pc ru-na and one of Man-a-lin. I feel like a new woman. When commenced taking Pe-ru-na I could hardly walk, across my room; now I am doing my own work, can walk a mile and half to church. I shah never cease to thank you for prescribing for me. I had been under the treatment of two doctors, but never received any benefit until com- menced taking your medicine. I am now well and able to do my own work. I wish every woman who was suffering as I was would send for one of your books on Gynaecology. It is God-send to suffering women. May God bless you and spare you many years to relieve women who are suffering as I was. am anxious for every woman who is suffering as I was to know what your medicine did for me.
 MRS. H. D. AMOSS,
 Greensboro, Ga.
 A free book, written expressly for women by Dr. Hartman, will be sent to any address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Man. ufacturing Co.,. Columbus, Ohio.

fatal embrace. Once I saw a tree dy-

the back of the first, which it was
slowly deyouring. A common sight
is the Llama, a vegetable rope, some no
thicker than whip.cord, others inches
in diameter. They hang straight

Newest Polar Balloon Scheme.

The Paris Figaro gives details of a

grammes. The balloon itself will be
able to remain in the air for forty
days, and to increase this time by
twenty days more. Twelve gasometel
balloons, each containing $50 cubic
meters, will be arranged around the
car to supply the lost gas. Despite
preparation, it is thought the journey
from Spitzbergen to Boring Straits
will, under normal conditions, not last
more than twelve to fifteen days. The
expedition will not in any case start
before 1898, and meantime an appeal
is being made to patriotic Frenchmen
for funds, 225, 600 francs being needed
to meet the total cost.

FEED MORE VEGETABLE FOOD.

Vegetables and green food of all
kinds will ussist greatly in keeping
the fowls in good condition during the
winter says Thrice-a-W Week World.
All the small potatoes should be boiled
and given to the hens, who will greed
lily pick them to pieces. The same is
true of turnips. Parings of all kinds
of vegetables will be readily eaten.
Poor worm-eaten apples will give a
zest to their nppetites, and n cabbage
hung where they can peck at it will
serve the anne purpose. Pumpkins
are also appreciated. Glover hay or
corn fodder cut to half inch lengths,
sealded and spriniiled slightly with
corn meal supplies Il very good and
economical ration.
Peas and beans cooked and thick
ened with bran are excellent for lay
ing hens, so is sweet ensilage. Beets
and carrots form a splendid winter
relish, while onions are popular and
exceedingly healthfnl. If fed in mod
Grafton there is not the slightest fear
that the last named will affect the flavor
of the eggs.
The great value OF these vegetable
foods lies not merely in their power
to tempt the appetite, but in their sup
plying the bulk necessary to thrift and
egg production; in mere nutritivo
qualities most OF them are inferior to
the grain which they should supple
ment, not displace.
Variety, too, is an important feat
ure which should also be considered in
supplying the grain, for mixture of
corn, oats, wheat, buckwheat, barley,
etc., will be found to give better re-
suits than where one grain alone is
used.

A fair criterion of a condition Of the people

STRAW FOR FATTENISG STOCK.

When cattle, horses or sheep arc
fed very concentratedan heterogeneous
foods they will often show q decided
liking for grain straw, which if fed on
alone conld not be eaten in sufficient
quantities to sustain life. What this
fattening stock seeks in the straw IS
first more of the carbonaceous ele-
ment of food, aud secondly, ome
thing that will distend their stomachs
while furnishing little nutrition. In
this respect the domestic animals are
wiser than man, who, when he can get
it, overloads his stomach with indi-
gestiblo food, aud then resorts to
drugs instead of to more bulky food
