Hon. Thomas G. Fletcher, the noted
war Governor Of the State Of Missouri,
is a great friend Of Pe-ru-na. He
writes:

Gentlemen-For years I have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system.
and no one knows the torture ana
misery I have passed through. MY
doctor has prescribed various RENE
dies, and I have never found any rellel
until I was persuaded by q friend TO
use DR.. Hartman's Pe-ru-na. After the
use Of one bottle I feel like q new
man. It also cured me Of a dropping

tenn up generally. To those who are
suffering with catarrh I take pleasure
in recommending your great medicine.
Very respectfully.

Everything that affects the welfare
Of the people Is q legitimate subject
Of comment to the real statesman.
The statesman is not q narrow man.
It. is the politician who Is narrow. The
true statesman looks out on the world
as it Is, and seeks, as far as Is In: his
power, to remedy evils and encourage
the good.
Catarrh in its various forms is rap
idly becoming . national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discov-
cred by DR.. Hartman. This remedy
has been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know of its virtues, and are
making public u%tterances on the sub
ject. To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.

Mayor Jones Of Toledo has Just re-
turned home from a tour of the east,
during which he made some speeches
in the interests of the plain people,
which aroused a great deal of discus
sion and which will result in good. In
an address delivered to the people of
Toledo on the occasion of his return,
Mayor Jones told of the hundreds of
poor people who have for five years
assembled at midnight, in all sorts of
weather, to each get a half loaf of
bread at a New York bakery. He
contrasted this with the fortunes made
on the Stock Exchange, and said that
the system that tolerates such ex-
tremes of wealth and poverty should
be denounced, and he would denounce
it az long as he had breath. It was
unworthy a free people, should be
swept away, and would be swept away

It Is announced that carbolite can
be manufactured from blast furnace
Stag. Carbolite is necessary to the pro-
duction of ethylene gas, which, it is
said. is better than %acetylene gas,
though possessing the excellencies OF
the latter. To make this new sub
stance, Stag. while molten, is poured
into c%onverters such .as are used for
the manufacture Of Bessemer steel. and
pulverized coke is blown through the
liquid mass by means of the air blast.
Next the melted Stag, thoroughly per.
meated by the. pulverized coke, is sub
jected to electric treatment. by means
Of which the Stag fused with the
coke. Then the mass is poured Oh
into molds and allowed to cool. after
which it is boxed with tin and wood

The most beautiful handkerchief in

Queen Margherita, Of Italy, and it is
at the same time the most costly,
being valued at $4,000. In making
this marvel three artists worked con-

1t is so fine that were the eyes closed
and the handkerchief passed across
the hand person of the most acute
sensibilities would find it impossible
to feel anything. The queen keeps it
religiously in a tiny jewel case Of gold
in the form and just the size of an

equals this. 1t was a wedding gift
from India, and is so fine and light
that the whole dress can be placed in
a small fan box. On this nine persons
worked during ten years.

Crater lake is the deepest American
lake, and, indeed, one of the deepest
lakes in the world. 1t is one of the won
ders of America. Crater lake is on the
crest of the Cascade noun tains, about
100 miles east of Ashland, Oregon. 1t
is circular in shape and about five
miles across. 1t lies on the very top
of Maunt Mazama, and is completely
surrounded by rocks rising straight
from the water. Its greatest ascer-
tanned depth is 1000 feet, and this
depth seems TO be almost the same
over the greater part Of the lake.
There is no beach, the surrounding
rocky shores extending vertically be-
meath the water to the depth of sew
eral hundred feet. There are few
large fish in the lake, but much small
life in the shape Of crustacea.

An ordinary two cent stamp is ex-

by a close calculation it is easy to dis
cover that the number Of stamps of
this denomination issued in 1898,
placed end to end, would extend dis
tance considerably exceeding $4,000
miles, in other words, they would
make a continuous strip of stamps
each adorned with the head of the
father of his country, stretching in a
belt more than once and half around

The most costly book in the Royal
Library at Stockholm is Bible. 1t is
no wonder that it is considered pre-
cious for there is not another just
like'it in the world. It is said that 100
asses skins were used for its parch-
ment leaves. There are 800 pages of
writing, and each page falls but one
inch short Of being yard in length.
The width of the leaves is twenty
inches. A Bible, the leaves of which
are considerably longer than the larg-
est newspaper at present issued,
would be a big thing to handle, and
when to this is added the fact that
the covers are solid planks four inches
thick, it will be understood that this
costly Stockholm treasure is not ex-
actly a pocket edition.
