Mr.. Henderson, of the tailoring compa-
ny. had a peculiar dream last night, and
the strange part of it was that the dream
was verified, probably while he was
dreaming. He dreamed that a certain pair
of pants in his shop had been stolen. He
was so much impressed by the dream that
he went to look for them as soon as he
reached his shop. To his establishment.
he could not find them anywhere. He
asked some of his employees about them
and it finally developed that the pants
had been cleaned the evening before and
hung out TO dry. The young man who
hung them out forgot to take them in,
and they were stolen during the night

The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co.:
Gentlemen-I have been afflicted with
a disease, commonly known as la grippe,
every winter since that disease was dis
covered. 1 have tried many remedies
without success. This spring I was in
duced to try a bottle of Pe-ru-na. have
now taken two bottles and have received
much benefit therefrom. In fact, all
symptoms of the disease seem to have left
me- Therefore 1 cheerfully recommend the
virtues of Pe-ru-na.
Yours truly,

the circulation, clogs up the excretory
ducts, and depresses the whole vital sys-

of people in this condition as the result of

As to the after-effects of la grippe, so
with the acute stages, Pe-ru-na is a spe-
cific. 1t seems to be thoroughly adapted
to this disease in all its phases. A great

FINGER NAIL FANC1Es.

Ancient suPerstitiORs-Char
= tics of Various Kinds of Nails.
Womans Life.
In early times it was considered that
bad luck would certainly attend any per-
son who neglected to either burn or bury
the pairing of his finger nails Among. the
Hebrews it was the custom to pare the
+ nails on a Friday and the operation had
to be conducted in certain manner
The little finger on the left hand had
first to be operated on, then the middle
finger; followed by the fourth finger,
thumb and forefinger The nail of the
middle finger of the right hand had next
to be cut; then came the thumb, then the
forefinger and afterward the fourth and
little finger.
When fortune telling was more In
vogue than at present the shape and ap-
pearance of the finger nails was looked
on as having reference to ones destiny.
The nails were first rubbed over with q
mixture of wax and SCOT, and, after be-
ing thus prepared, were held so that the
sunlight fell upon them. On the horny.
transparent substance were supposed to
appear signs and characters from which
the future could be interpreted
Persons, too, with certain descriptions
of nails were supposed to possess certain
characteristics. For instance, man
with red and spotted nails was Of fiery,
hot tempered disposition, while pale.
lead-colored nails denoted a melancholy
temperament.
Ambitious and quarrelsome people
were distinguished by narrow nails,
while levers of knowledge and liberal
sentiment had round-shaped nails
Conceited, obstinate and narrow-mind-
ed persons were possessed of small nails
lazy, indolent individuals of fieshy nails,
and those of a gentle, tirnid nature of
broad nails.
Those persons whose nails grow into
the flesh at the side are generally lux
uriously inclined, while those with very
pale nails are subject to both bodily
and mental suffering
