AN EYE FOR REALISM.

The new reporter in his story of the
wedding wrote: ''The floral display
stretched from the chancel rail to the
doors Of the church."
The city editor, in mild manner,
as is the custom of city editors with
new reporters, suggested:
Couldn't you have used better
word than 'stretched?' Say the floral
display nodded or 'twined' or some
thing like that-some word more sug-
gestive of flowers
Stretched is all right, replied the
new reporter, with the stubborn cour-
age of a realist. ''The decorations
consisted of six rubber plants, and
they had to stretch to go the dis
lance. Baltimore American.

throne of Russia. A burly, robust,
half-civilized, uneducated boy-prince,
handicapped by bigotry and strong
animal passions, and in his early reign
menaced by intrigues of the most dam
gerous character, he had, nevertheless,
a strong intellect, a stronger will and
full measure of that practical COM
mon sense, which now and then in the
worlds history has been known to
characterize ruler of great provinces.
Peter had neither fleet nor army
worthy of the name. No nation in
all Europe, except the English nation
priced his friendship or greatly feared
his enmity; his troops were undisc1-
plined and FESTIVE under control, and
his resources were uncertain and the
prey of hereditary off1cialism and
deep-rooted corruption.
How he himself wrought in English
ard Dutch shipyards, to secure a prac-
teal knowledge of naval and CONNER
cial shipbuilding, has been often told;
as we'll aus the story of the perils, IN
trigues, prejudices and ancient abuses
which he averted or overthrow. Suffice
it to say that at the date of his de-
cease, February To-, 1925, he had de-
stroyed the military prestige of Swe-
den, secured much of her territory on
the eastern shore of the Baltic sea, es-
tablished ports upon the sea of Azov
and the Caspian, and created large and
well appointed armies and fleets. He
had been solemnly crowned at Mos
cow emperor of all the Russias,' .
and been hailed by his mobiles and
people as "The father of his country,
Peter the great"
Dying, he left to his descendants and
successors a paper embodying the i'm
mense purposes which during his
checkered career had sustained and
impelled him. This ancient testament,
pregnant with wars unending, and in
trigues and disloyalties without scru-
pie, must be read and remembered by
everyone who would understand Alright
the past history, and comprehend IN
some degree the trend of Russian pol
icy, and it's probable results in the
orient.

SPIRITUALISM IN GERMANY.

Spiritualism finds little liberation in
Germany. A movement against it has
been started by the court preacher,
Stoecker, the great Christian social re-
former. It is said there are no less
than 900 mediums in Berlin, the most
of whom are bodily defective. They
are accused Of carrying frauds and
humbugs in the name OF ghosts. They
are reported to have $4,000 followers in
that city, who show great variety of
character. Some are serious: some
seek spirits for sport: some let weak
nerves lead them to seances and Wis
ions, while most regard Spiritualism as
new way of callig up the dead to
teach the living.

BIRDS IN THE ICE BUSINESS.

In the hotel corridor group Of
travelling men were sitting. They had
been telling each other fairy tales, and
several of them had recounted ex-
periences which, if true, would GER
tainly have left the story teller in his
grave.
At last the fat drummer secured the
floor, and he offered to recount the
funniest thing he ever witnessed.
Several years ago I happened to be
in New York" he began. 1T was late
in the fall, at the time when standing
water freezes over night. I had been
indisposed, and early one morning took
walk through Central Park to work
up an appetite for breakfast.
cit was well-known that numerous
sea gulls make their way to the ponds
in the park during the fall There
they are protected from the rough
storms on the sea and also from the
attacks of ruthless hunters.
Gust as passed one Of these ponds
| noticed that several hundred gulls
were complacently sitting on the sur
face. Going closer saw that the birds
were frozen in the ice which had
formed over night, and when the gulls
awoke they found themselves ina fix
''It was a peculiar sight, and I
stopped to see what would be the out
come. At last along came a small
boy who threw a stone at one of the
feathered prisoners This frightened
the leader of the flock, and he gave a
shrill call. Immediately every one in
the flock tapped his wings and after
mighty effort the entire collection Of
birds assembled into the air carrying
the ice with them. Their feet and
bodies were still prisoners but W.
their wings they carried themselves
and the ice. How they became
separated I never found out, but sup
pose that they waited until the sun
thawed them OUT
There were no calls for the next
story after this one had been told. for
each man in the crowd recognized tnat
the climax had been reached.

THE ONE MEDICINE

In the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which af1ict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of a mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail. If there is a catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-ra will cure YOU.

Medium Through Which Manufac-
turers and Producers May Reach
Consumers.
Among the objects which attracted
the attention Of a well-known Wiscon-
sin manufacturer at the Centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia In 1876 was
steam hammer Of particular make.
In 1s96-twenty years later--he found
occasion to use q steam hammer, and,
remembering the name Of the eastern
manufacturer Of the one that he had
seen, sent for the machine and set it
up, finding, as he had expected. that it
was a great convenience. His business
has since increased, and he has pur-
chased two more steam hammers from
the firm that sold him the first. The
cost of the hammers was $500 apiece.
Here, then, We're three sales, amount
ing to $2,1O0, effected as a result of an
exhibit, twenty years and more after
the close of the exposition at which the
exhibit was made-and no doubt the
exhibit brought Il great many earlier
profitable returns. It certainly pays
every manufacturer to exert himself
to secure wide publicity for the merits
of his products. Newspaper advertise
ing is one avenue to publicity. Exhib-
iting at expositiOns is another, Both
are good, and neither will be habitual-
ly neglected by enterprising men.
The Wisconsin manufacturer of
whom the above incident Is related Is
one of the business men Of that state
who thoroughly appreciate the adver-
tising opportunities offered by the
forthcoming Pan-American exposition
at Buffalo, N. Y. The state of Wiscon-
sin has shown it's appreciation of this
opportunity in a practical way, by ap-
pointing board of commissioners and
appropriating $4,000 for defraying the
expense of the representation Of Wis
consin manufacturing interests at the
Pan-American.
Another state which Is wide awake
to the opportunities offered by the
great exposition next summer at Buff
falo is California. The fruit exhibit of
the state of California and especially
from the southern end of the state,
will be very notable feature of the
horticultural display at the Pam
