Pe-ru-na works harmoniously with
nature to eject the tubercles from the
lungs, and works so successfully that
if there is a cure for ccE5umption
Pe-ru-na is the remedy.
Read this letter from Mrs. 81. A.
Tyner, of Four Oaks, N. c., about her
daughter, Mrs. L. Keene. She says:
Pe-ru-na Medietne Co., Columbus. o.
DEAR S1Rs:-"My daughter had every
symptom of consumption-supp
of menses, night sweats and great ema-
citation. She was so low that none of
our neighbors thought she could live.
In May Mr.. C. R. Adams, of this place,
who had taken Pe-ru-na, told me if
anything would help her Pe-ru-na
would. 1 got bottle of it and some
rock candy and began giving it to her.
During the first few days she was so
weak she could only take half tea
spoonful at time, but 1 gave it to
her as often as she could bear it. In
less than week she could walk two
hundred yards and back without rest
ing; she kept getting stronger, and in
twelve months she seemed to be as well
as she ever was in her life. feel, and so
does every one that knew about her
sickness, that Pe-ru-na saved her life.
My daughters name is Mrs. L. Keene."

Curious Light of Firefies.

The light of firefies contains photo
graphic rays, which will pass through
aluminium, cardboard or copper plate;
the rays are capable of reflection and
probably refraction and polarization;
this indicates the presence of rays be-
longing to the ultraviolet class, and if
this is so they are probably the same
as the rays emitted by uranium, known
as Becquerel rays; besides these invisi-
lie Photographic rays it contains or
binary light rays. The organ producing
them consists of a transparent, super
fetal layer which gives off the light, and
Of deep opaque layer whose function
is not obvious; the ultimate branches
of the trachae or air tubes are distrib-
uted through this apparatus, as are
also nerve fibers.-Scientific American.

WANTS TO HIDE HIS MISERY.
Observation-Disclosures Weather Man
Asks to BE Trans
ferred.

An assistant government weather
forecaster in western city has written
to Prof. Willis Moore, chief of the
weather bureau, asking to be trans
ferred from his present station to the
most remote and isolated weather sta
ton of the United States.
His reasons for this request are inter
esting. He says he is devotedly at
tached to a young woman of wealth and
social position in the city where he is
now stationed, but that on account of
his small salary and poor prospects her
parents absolutely refuse to consider
his offer of marriage with their daugh-
ter, and forbid him to see her.
He says life has become intolerable
for him in his present residence, and

THE NEWEST NAPOLEON.
If He Succeeds He VIII Be Entitled
the Fifth of That IlIustri-
Gus Name.

France has the best army in the
world-on paper. Insulted by England,
afraid of Germany, uncertain OF Rus
STA, and worse than all, uncertain of
herself, she lacks number of things,
but most, perhaps, man. 1t is ru-
mored that there is a coup d'etat in
preparation, and that presently the
man will appear. The latter is Napoleon
V. We must not believe everything
we see in the papers, yet, should the
rumor be correct, he would not be I'M
welcome. In the present circumstances
a word or two concerning him may be
of interest.
At present colonel of the guards at
st. Petersburg, he has three character
istics. He is a great chap with the
girls. That is promising. He wears no
decorations. That is tie mark of
really distinguished soldier. He in
sists on being addressed as imperial
highness." That is the prelude to "sire."
Still young, good looking without be-
ing alarmingly SO, at his hours what
the French call charmeur, he has sue
ceeded in charming the car. In view
of Frances spaniel crouch at that door
this means good deal. His name, too,
is potent. Napoleon may rhyme with
Sedan, but it rhymes even better with
AusterlitZ.
''But why, it has been asked should
the grandson of Jerome Bonaparte be
Napoleon "? For two reasons. First.
because the prince imperial would have
been Napoleon IV.-would have been,
that is, provided other things were fav-
orable; second, because there is luck in
odd numbers particularly in his fam
lily. 1t is worth noting that the third
emperor, in spite of the king of Rome,
intended to call himself Napoleon H.;
but after the coup d'etat, when his
name was billposted, that which the
printer had intended for three excla-
nation points after it was mistaken for
the numeral III. Being of good augury,
it was accepted. 1t is in this way that
history is made.-Collier's Weekly.

is we don't always know what it is, and so
