DO NOT WANT TO BE MEN.
Reasons Given by Some Young Wom- en for Prefcrring Their
 Own Sex.

A writer in the National Review sets forth some curious and amusing re suits secured by asking several hun dred schoolgirls the following ques- tions: (Which would you rather be, a man or woman, and why?" There is a striking difference between the an swers of the children in Germany, in England and in the United States; also between the answers of the little girls of New England and of Indiana. Apparently the farther west one comes the higher is the estimation in which womanhood is held, says the Chicago Tribune.
 In Indiana only If per cent wished they were men, and in New England Is per cent. In England 34 per cent. wished to be men, urging that me? had better time, more glory, and more money. In Germany most of | the girls were not allowed to answer, but those who did so took the sober view that Git is wicked to wish to be nlan." In Germany there were none who expressed belief in the superi- orlty of women. In England there were four per cent; in New England, fl per cent, and in Indiana 34 per cent. Evidently the women of Indiana are of superfne material. The reasons of the S5 or S6 per cent. who were true to their sex are inter esting if not alarming to the mascu- hne mind. large percentage, espe- clally ln New England, said they would rather be women because women are better than men. Twenty per cent. of the Indiana maidens were glad they were not men because mems lives were so dull and commonplace. In general, the American girl seems to be con- vinced that 'it is more important to be woman than man," and is deter mined to get her ''share of the world" In spite of the men who own it. One | says she would rather be woman be- cause she cannot be anything else, and she means to be "as good as a man, anyway" One is reminded frequently of Mrs. Poyser by the replies of the Indiana girls, of which these are de- lghtful examples:
 "Women are more industrious than men are.'
 "Nomeh have good chances in life; they can be in any profession; or, if they do not want to be, they can marry and do nothing.'
 "I would rather be a woman, be- cause they suffer more than men, and it is blessed to suffer-"
 Il was born a girl, and I shall have to be woman, so there is no use in crying over split milk.'
 "A man can work harder, and woman has more sense. If l wanted to be a man it would be no use, and men swear and spit on the floor, so l have not lost much''
 Il would rather be a woman, as they have better chances in life as teachers ln public schools"
 "l would rather be a woman any day; men get drunk and steal. and they cant work or make children's clothes or do anything useful''
 Evidently there is a hard time com Ing for American men when these frank-Spollen Hoosier maidens grow to maturity. Their almost unanimous verdict on the comparative merits of men and women ought to cause the lords of creation to take humber es- tImate of themselves

 Prominent members of the clergy are giving Peruna their unqualified en- dorsement. These men find Peruna especially adapted to preserve them from ca'tarrh of the vocal organs which has always been the bane of public speakers, and general catarrhal debil- ity incident to the sedentary life of the clergyman. Among the recent ut terances of noted clergymen on the curative virtues of Peruna is the above one from Bishop Grant.

4 METHODIST BISHOP
 GIVES PE-RU-NA GREAT CREDIT.
Writes His Recommendation for the Famous Catarrh
 Remedy, Pe-ru-na.

The day was when men of prOmi- hence hesitated to give their testimoni- aIs to proprietary medicines for pulp licatIon. This remains true to-day of | most proprietary medicines. But Peru na has become so justly famous, it's merits are known to so many people of high and low station that none hesi- tates to see his name in print recom- mending Peruna.
 The following letters from pastors who use Peruna speak for themselves:
 Rev. E. c. Smith, pastor of the Pres- byterian Church, of Greensboro, Ga, writes:
 My little boy had been suffering for some time with catarrh of the lower bowels. Other remedies had failed, but after taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble almost entirely disappeared. For this special malady 1 consider it we'll nigh a specific. ."-Rev. E. G. Smith.
 Rev. A. s. Vaughn, Eureka Springs, Ark, says: "I had been prostrated by congestive chills and was almost dead; as soon as able to be about, 1 com menced the use of Peruna. I took five bottles; my strength returned rapidly and I am now enjoying my usual health. ."-Rev. A. $, Vaughn.
 If you do not derive prompt and sat- isfactory results from the use of Peru na, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giv- ing a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his val uable advice gratis.
