Ex-Congressman A. t. Goodwin, from

Gentlemen-.'I have now used two bottles

before | had used it week, after suffering
with catarrh for over a year." Respect
July, A. T. Goodwin.
Catarrh in it's various forms is rapidly be-
coming national curse An undoubted
remedy has been discovered by DR.. Hartman.
This remedy has been thoroughly tested dur
ing the past forty years. Prominent men
have come to know of its virtues and are
making public utterances on the subject.
To save the country we must save the peo-
pie. To save the people we must protect
them from disease. The disease that is at
once the most prevalent and stubborn of
cure is catarrh. Public men Of all parties
recognize in Peruna a national catarrh rem
edy of unequaled merit. Send to Dr. Hart
man, Columbus, Ohio, for free book on
catarrh.

England is Impressed.

A few figures showing The immensity
of the wheat crop in the United States
and the cost of producing it may be of
interest. The harvesting machines
made and sold in one year would form !
solid procession from Chicago to New
York city. or would almost construct Il
fence around England and Scotland. The
twine used in tying the bundles would
reach around the earth 500 times. and
the freight cars necessary to haul it
would make train fifty miles long. The
saving by the use of machinery in each
year on American farms would more than
pay the national debt of Great Britan.-

School ChiIGren-Their Endurance.

1t has been shown by the geographic
records that the young childs endurance
is greater in proportion to its age than
the endurance Of the older child. 1t has
been found also, that the endurance Of
girls does not increase in the same pro
portion with the age as the endurance Of
boys, from which it is suggested that.
after a certain age, boys and girls should
not be educated together, nor should girls
bear the same school burden as boys
after that age.-Pearson's Magazine.

Minnie had a little lamb,
tender little elf,
She ed it and DaSted it,
And laid it on the shelf.
She set it on the table,
And heartily did eat
and thought that pretty little lamb
A glorious Kind of meat
i;ut morning, noon and evening
She Wearied of the roast,
SO minced and buttered some of it,
And spread it on some toast.
And then she broiled a little piece
And then she made a stew:
Till everywhere that Minnie went
That lamb lie went there, too.

1t seemed he'd ever stay;
iii finally. in his Old age
That lamb was led astray.
Some Snucy ''caperS'' he did cut.
Twas shocking for to see,
Md next that frisky lamb appeared
AS Monsieur FricaSSee.
Eut to assume a gidGy guise
IN that old lamb was rash,
lie humbly ended his career
AS plain plebeian hash.
Eut Minnie couldn't shed Il tear,
And wouldn't if she could,
But warb,ed. glory hal Ia III,

DESTITUTE CHILDREN.
THE CONDITION OF TWO COLOR
ED WAITS


Poor children can not be taken care
OF at the almshouse. unless q special
nurse Is provided for them. That is
what the almshouse committee told
Prentice Tomlin yesterday In speaking
or the two colored children, who were
ordered to the almshouse by him some
time back. The children are Hortense
and ode Barnltt, 2 andS years of age,
respectively. They were found by the
police roaming the streets In a half
starved condition, searching the gar
bage barrels and back alleys for food.
Their mother, Annie Barnett, was ar
rested for failing to provide for them,
and upon the testimony of several
neighbors she was sentenced to sixty
days in Jail.
The almshouse committee asked that
the woman be released so she could
provide for the little ones. but this was
refused. and 1T was finally arranged to
take the two children to the almshouse.
where they will be cared for until their
mother Is released from JAIL
One of the children Is very sick and
is thought to have consumption, brought
on by hardshins and exposure to the
cold Keeper Farrell came after them
yesterday, but. owing to the bad wealth
err. postponed taking them until tc
morrow. They are now being cared
for at the jail.
