Sawdust, which used to be a waste
product of the mills, is now being util-

making gas, the bricks being carbon
lied in fire-clay retorts. About so per
cent. of their weight is converted into
gas. From $4,000 to 10000 cubic feet
of gas are obtained from each ton

UMBRELLA FOR CUE.
Clever Performance of Peall. the
English BiIliardist. AstOunded
Amateur Experts.

Peall, the English billiard champion,
had few tricks that were peculiarly
his own. Some time ago a couple of
men with whom none of the others
was acquainted were sitting in the bill
liardroom of hotel at Lancas shire
watering place and commenting good
humoredly, the one to the other, upon
the play of the men who were enga c,ed
at the table, says the Chicago Chron-
icle. One player, who had more style
than execution, and more self-assur-
ance than either. challenged the room.
and. seeing smile upon the face of
the smaller of the two strangers, made
it difficult for him to refuse accept
ance of the challenge. "Your cues are
rather too long for me-" said the little
man. as he battered up to the table,
but this will do"
The this indicated was a very ele-
CANT tightly folded umbrella. The
local champion, thinking that his op-
ponent was joking, broke, leaving his
ball in balk. To the astonishment of
all. the stranger followed, playing
with his umbrella. At first the COM
pany held their breath in amazement.
deeming the man the rawest tyro or
the finest sample of mailman.
But there was infinite method in the
supposititious madness of the un-
known, for, plying his wandlike cue
with exquisite skill, he got the balls at
the top of the table, and in one inning
ran out. There was a yell of laughter
and enthusiasm over the feat. and the
unhappy challenger was mercilessly
''chipped." He did not take kindly to
the turn of events, but feebly protest
ed that it was very damaging to the
balls that an ordinary umbrella tip
should be used as cue. He proposed

Mine host appeared. and instantly
recognized the miniature wizard PeaIl,
the redoubtable champion of the all-in
game. His identity revealed, the
victor then explained that his inno-
cent-looking CAMP was fitted with a
proper cue point, carried inside de-
tachable ferrule. Another man is now
laureled as the champion of that town,
and the voice of Peall's victim is heard
no more in the room

called and he generally advises an op-
GRAFTON. Perhaps he will subject the
patient to long series of experiments
with nervines and tonics. The reason
he does not often make a cure is be-
cause he does not recognize the trou-
Bile.
In large majority of the cases ca
tarrh of the female organs is the
cause. Peruna relieves these cases
promptly because it cures the catarrh
Peruna is not II palliative or sedative
or nervine or stimulant. 1t is a
specific for catarrh and cures catarrh
wherever it may lurk in the system.
This girl was lucky enough to find
Peruna at last. AS she says, the doc
tors did not seem to understand what
the trouble was and the medicine he
prescribed from time to time did not
help her. Peruna hit the mark at
once and she is now recommending
this wonderful remedy to all the other
girls in the United States.
Thousands of the girls who look at
her beautiful face and read her sim
cere testimonial, will be led to try
Peruna in their times of trouble and
critical periods. Peruna will not fail
them. Every one of them will be glad
and it is to be hoped that their en-
thusiasm will lead them to do as this
girl did-proclaim the fact to the
world so that others may read it and
do likewise.
Mrs. Christopher Fliehmann, Ann
sterdam, n. Y, writes:
Il have been sick with catarrh of the
stomach and pelvic organs for about
five years, and had many doctor, but
none could help me. Some said would
never get over it. One day when I
read your almanac 1 saw those who
had been cured by Peruna; then I
thought I would try it. 1 did, and
found relief with the first bottle took.
and after two more bottles I was as
we'll and strong as l was before."-
