"Gentlemen-Ih have used Pe-ru-na for
q short time and can cheerfully recon-
mend it as being all you represent and
wish every man who is suffering with
catarrh could know of it's great value.
Should I at any future time have occa-

kind, rest assured that yours will be the
one. Gratefully yours,

Wherever the catarrh is, there is sure
to be a waste of mucus. The mucus is
as precious as blood. It is blood, in fact.
1t is blood plasma-blood with the cor
puscles removed. To stop this waste,
you must stop this catarrh. A course of
treatment with Pe-ru-na never fails to
do this.

Hungry Pike.

The rapacity Of the pike Is well
known. Fish, flesh and fowl seem alike
acceptable to its palate and 1t does not
disdain mineral products; rings, Spoons,
plummets and other articles have been
frequently taken from its nav. The
best authenticated instance of attempted
manslaughter by the pike is that re-
corded in Fishing.
One of my sons, aged 10, went with
three other boys to battle in Inglemere
pond near the Ascot race.courSe. He
walked into the water to about the
depth of four feet, when he spread but
his hands to attempt to swim.
AT that instant a large fish came up
and took his whole hand into its mouth
but finding itself unable TO swallow ID
relinquished its hold and the boy, turn
ing round, prepared for a hasly retreat.
His companions, who saw the fish,
scrambled out of the pond az fast as
possible.
My son had scarcely turned around
before the fish came up behind him and,
Selling his other hand crosswise, in
tlicted some very deep wounds on the
back of 1t. The boy raised his free
hand, which was still bleeding, and
struck the great fish a hard blow on the
head, when it disappeared. The other
boys assisted my son to dress, bound up
his hand with their handkerchiefs and
brought him home.
We took him to the surgeon, who
dressed sever wounds in one hand aud
so great was The pain the next day thai
the lad tainted twice. The little finger
was bitten through the nail and it Was
more than six weeks before it was well.
The nail came off and the scar remaina
to this day.

The Power Of Magnetic Guns.

Col. w. r. King of the engineers says
that the abilities Of his big-gun magnets
at Willett's Point have been overesti-
mated. A recent paragraph stated
that the big magnets had been found to
derange the compass of ships six miles
away. "Of course" writes Col. King,
"a pebble thrown in the ocean at Coney
island will, theoretically speaking, pro-
duce an overwhelming circle Of waves
that will finally reach the shores of Eu-
rope. So the magnetic waves will ex-
tend indefinitely but at a distance
much less than six miles they will be-
come homeopathic forces of at least
the tenth attenuation" According to
tests recently made of the effect Of the
big magnet OH the compass it is found
that at q distance of fifty feet in q line
nearly east and west through the mag
net the detection was IS degrees; at
100 feet, 16 degrees; at $50 feet, de-
gress, and at 200 feet, 2 1-2 degrees.
Hence we may perceive that a compass
six miles off would not be very serious
ly affected. -Harper's Weekly.

for the gateway Is quite handsome, the

So many times: they'd do

We may well bend, not break.
They are such fond, frail lips
That speak to us. Pray, If love strips

or If they speak too slow or Quick, such

We may pass by, for we may see
Days not far off when those small words
Held not as slow. or quick, or out of place,

Because the lips that spoke are no more

They are such dear, familiar feet that go

And trying to. keep pace-if they mistake
Or tread upon some flower that we would
take
Or crush poor hope until 1t bleed,
We may be mute.
Not turning quickly to impute

Have such a little way TO go-can be
Together such a little while along the
We will be patient while we may.
So man. little faults we find.
We see them: for not blind
Is Love. We see them; but IL you and I
Perhaps remember them some by and by
They will not be
Faults ~then-grave fau1ts-to you and me.
But Just odd ways-mistakes, or even

Days change so many things-yes, hours,
We see so differently in sun n showers,
Mistaken words tonight
May be so cherished by tomorrow's light,
We will be patient, for we know
There's such a little way to go.
