"Dr. Hartman:
"Dear Sir-Pe-ru-na has been my
salvation. 1t has given me back a
beautiful voice, a gift of God; it has
brought me once more to my old pro-
fession. I can talk now, and sing.
where before, 1 could scarcely whis-
per. Can you wonder at my delight?
1 wish every person who is suffering
as 1 suffered might know Pe-ru-na.
Only those who have been afflicted
can ever know the intense satisfac-
ton and gratitude that comes with a
complete cure. My voice was COM
pletely gone. April Is I felt SO elatcd
over the restoration of my voice that
1 inserted an advertisement in The
Star for vocal pupils. The advertise
ment, which cost me 65 cents. brought
me five pupils, and that was the be-
ginning of my present large class.
Yours gratefully.

when Housekeepers Are Frightening
the Interiors Of Their Homes.

Now that the backbone of this remarkable
winter is broken, housekeepers are remark
ing the dingy look of the home interior. The
question of new wall coverings is up. Paper
is dear and short lived; kalsomines are dirty
and scaly; paint is costly. The use of such
a cement as Alabastine. for instance, will
solve the problem. This admirable wall
coating is clean, pure and wholesome. 1t
can be put on with no trouble by anyone;
there is choice of many beautiful tints; and

Fame recalls an old story that illus

A bright teacher, fresh from the

went up into a farming village in New
Hampshire to do her first teaching.
She asked the little ones, Suppose
there are six sheep on this side of q

the wall, how many sheep will be left?"
There was silence for a moment,

According to statistics furnished by
the London Engineering, Germany has
reached the decision nearly to double
its navy within the next sixteen years.
The German navy Will then have forty
~battleships and twenty first class
cruisers. Her annual naval expendi-
ture will be raised from $17, OOO, 900
to $48, 900, 600. France proposes to
spend in v years in new ships
$40, 600. 600. Her annual expendi-
ture will be So, 600, 900. England's
annual naval expenditure is $135, OO0..
600, and she has q great advantage
over her rivals in the cost of her
ships. She aow builds battleships
complete, with guns and all, for $500
per ton of displacement. France PAYS
$3.50 per ton, and Russians new sh,bs
cost about $500 per ton.

Waste Ground In Fields.

Fences cost heavily, and so econ
omy of fencing is a ~desideratum. Now,
when a field is once fenced it should
be all clear land and every inch of II
cultivated. If there are open bitches,
wet ponds, deep ravines, brush cor
ners, stumps, logs, etc., that take up
any part of the area of the field, it is
just SO much taken from cultivation,
and more fencing has been used to
enclose the area actually titled than
is necessary, or should have been
used, provided there were no waste
land enclosed.
To say nothing about the looks OF o
field, or the time taken in turning the
plows and going around the obstacles
nothing of the inconvenience every
way in having such distractions on
ground enclosed for the pillow, it were
infinitely better to remove all such
impediments as speedily as possible.
Taxation and interest are the same
for a miry bog as for the best arabic
piece on the farm OF the same area.
And to save the cost of fencing
ground that is not utilized, steps
travelled around the distractions and
other considerations, the farmer
should strive to make arabic and pro-
ductive every foot Of land enclosed
by fence. Mend and reclaim all bad
spots, remove stumps and stones, and
every other obstruction to the pillow,
that it might go right on from side to
side of the field, without having to
turn or go around something. 1t is
such economics as this that tells for
something in the long run.

Joubert fought in the native wars when
Paul Kruger was Commander, and these
two became bosom friends. Joubert several
times came within a few votes of beating
Dom Paul for the Presidency. He held
different Views from Kruger. He believed
that II the franchise were given to the
Ultlanders / IN a reasonable time they would
become good citizens. and that this was the
way to solve the problem. AT the same
time he did not saction any sort of a re-
volt, and when the jameson raiders were
landed safely In Pretoria jail he was one
who favored shooting them. Kruger
argued with him on this point and finally
won him over. Joubert. In turn, made a
speech to the burghers which persuaded
them to turn the prisoners over to the
British.
Joubert was a prudent and far-sighted
general. The beginning Of the present
war found the South African republics
fortified with immense stores of provisions
and munitions. The army was organized
on Joubert's plan In a manner that re-
quired the sending of only seventeen dis
patches to put The whole nation under
arms in forty-eight hours. He divided the
country into seventeen military depart
ments, and each OF these into smaller
divisions with c~ommandants. field comets
and lleutenants In charge. Every farmer
had his equipment always ready and be-
came a trained soldier without leaving his
home.
Although Joubert was not Kruger's equal
In diplomacy or In political strength, his
right to command the Boer army was never
disputed, and he was credited with the sue
cesses Of the Beers In the present war. OF
late there had been some rumors of dissat-
isfaction with his plans, but they were
probably due to his retirement from the
field which, 1t Is now plain, was due to sick
ness. He was wounded once in the recent
fighting In Natal, and had several times
been reported dead.
