CONGRESSMAN BoTKIN is one of
l the most influential and best
known men in the State of Kansas.
Whatever he may say on any subject
will be accepted by the people as the
truth. So famous remedy as Peruna
could not have we'll escaped the atten-
tion of so famous man. He not only
has heard of the remedy, but he has
used it and was relieved of an affiiction
of twenty-five years standing. Peruna
is the one internal remedy that cures
chronic catarrh. 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. This is fact that
the people are rapidly finding out, but
there are still large multitude who
need to know it.
Mr.. Frank Richter, of Winona, Mimi,
says in letter to The Peruna Medi-
cine Company:
''As remedy for catarrh take
pleasure in recommending Peruna for
catarrh of the stomach. know what
it is to be afflicted with this awful dis
ease and consider it my duty to say
word in behalf of the remedy which
gave me such relief. Peruna cured me,
and know it will cure anyone else who
suffers from this disease. 1t gives me
great pleasure to testify to the cura-
tive effects of this medicine. Peruna is
a well tested and frequently used rem
edy, and for catarrh of the stomach is
unsurpassed.
"My catarrh was principally located
in my head and stomach. tried many
remedies without success. tried sew
eral doctors, but they were unable to
cure me. l read of Peruna in the pa
pers and five bottles cured me."-
Frank Richter.
The gastric juice is secreted by the
mucous follicles of the stomach
When this juice is normal it digests
(dissolves) the food without produc-
ing any disturbance whatever. If,
however, the gastric juice is not nor
NAL, digestion causes many disagree
able symptoms. This condition is
known as Indigestion. Peruna will
cure this.

The Sensitive Plants.

Plants for the pleasure and instruc-
ton of children are often sought for.
The sensitive plant, Mimosa pudica,
is an excellent one for this purpose.
1t is easily raised from seeds sown
in spring. The habit is rather sprawl
ing for. a pot plant, but by a little
pinching in management compact
specimens may be obtained. Few
plants give more interest to children
in watching the leaves close or fall
on being touched. Even grown peo-
pie have their attention attracted by
the remarkable motion.-Meehan' S

ILINCOLN MEMORIAL.
HOME WHERE DRUG VICTIMS MAY
BE CURED.
To Be Erected the Farm on which
the Martyred President Was Born
Patients to BE Treated Free of Charge,
1t Is Said.
Especial Letter.

The farm in Kentucky on which
Abraham Lincoln was born and where
his earliest years were spent is to be
turned into a resort for the cure of
victims of the alcohol and drug hab-
its. st. Luke's Society, of Chicago, has
acquired possession of the property,
and is going to erect upon it num-
ber of buildings, where The victims of
liquor and drugs may be treated and
cured. Work on the buildings will be-
gin in the spring, and the society ex
poets to raise and expend s250,000 be-
fore its plans are fully carried out.
The institution will be entirely free,
and will be supported by an endow
ment fund. Dr. Struble, of Chicago
one of the directors of the society, has
secured an option on $50 acres of land
Aiacent to the Lincoln farm. and the
Yer, consisting of 11O acres, has been
turned over to the society by the for
mer owner, A. w. bennett, of New
York. After the first building is erect
ed some of the patients who are cured
will work on the other buildings.
"The home" says Dr. Struble, will
be n memorial to Lincoln, and will be
the greatest temperance project ever
undertaken in this country The num-
ber of patients it will be able to treat
in n few years will be unlimited. We
propose to put up several buildings of
a substantial character, and the num-
Der will be increased as the number
Of patients increase.
1.-THE cabin in which Abraham Lin
coin was born, which was originally
on the farm and is now at the Buffalo
Exposition, will be returned to its old
site. The cabin in which jeff Davis
was born, 100 miles from Hodgens-
vile. will be placed by its side"
The st. Luke Society has a home in
Chicago where victims are treated. The
police send human wrecks to the So
ciety and the jails also furnish pa
tients. Quarters are maintained where
the rich can be luxuriously treated, but
in such cases payment is expected. One
eastern banker when presented with a
bill for 500 gave his check for $1,000
instead, and when, after reaching
home, he found that he had no desire
for drugs or liquors. he sent the So
ciety an additional s1,500.
The mode of treatment is a secret
and most peculiar in its working. On
entering the institution the patient is
given a strong purgative. Then three

Turuuoise Mining,

An English firm, it is announced, has
been granted by the Egyptian govern
ment a concession for mining tur-
quolses in the Sinai Peninsula. Ac-
cording to the account, the company
does not intend opening any new
mines, but simply to rework the aban-
doned mines of Maghara and Sarakan
Hieroglyphics upon the rocks in the
vicinity of these mines show that they
were originally opened by the ancient
Egyptians and until recently they have
been worked in a desultory sort of
way by Bedouin Arabs The English
company proposes to employ Bedouin
labor and to install modern machinery
1t is said that this is now the only
known place in the world where tur-
quoises of the finest water can be OBJ
tanned, as the Persian mines, which
have hitherto supplied the worlds mar
ket are rapidly giving out.-Philadel-

VICTORIA'S COURTESY.
She Defied Race Prejudice and Received a
Colored Woman.

Queen Victoria, when she received at
Windsor the bishops and delegates to
the great convention of the Episcopal
church held in London year or two
before her death, accorded just the
same amount of distinguished consid-
Grafton to the negro race as to their
white English and American fellow
prelates. When some five years ago
the queen heard of the arrival in Lon
don of an old colored nanny from the
free state of Liberia, who had saved
up her money shilling by shilling for
the purpose of going to England to
see her majesty, she not only asked
her to visit her at Windsor castle, but
even invited her to take a seat on the
sofa beside her during the interview.
The late queen was accustomed to
keep even the greatest statesmen and
grandest ladies in the land standing
in her presence.

SOME COSTLY KITCHENS.
Royalty Spends Much for Cooking
Utensils.


Utensils.
Royal kitchens invariably are expen-
sive. The present Car OF Russia soon
after his accession spent eSO000 in
remodeling and refurnishing the royal
kitchens at the winter palace, St
Petersburg. All the cooking utensils
are of solid silver, and include 40 stew
ing pans, none of which could be pur-
chased under as many pounds. The
spice boxes are of solid gold, engraved
with the royal arms, and the ranges
and ovens are edged with silver. The
actual cost of rebuilding the kitchens
was e30. 900. the purest black marble
being used throughout, and the decor
ations were responsible for an outlay
of $4,000 Among the cooking utensils
should be mentioned 5000 silver spoons
and gold gridiron that belonged to
the great Catherine. The chief cook
draws n salary of $4,000 a year, and
he has six subordinates in receipt of
salaries ranging between 1000 and
C 500, to say nothing of hundreds of
supernumeraries. Altogether the Cars
kitchen expenses amount to G120,000
per annum.
The next most costly royal kitchen
belongs to the Spanish court, the cook
ing utensils alone having face value
of nearly G15OOO. They are of a great
age. The Shah OF Persia's kitchen in
Teheran. is, however, the most valu-
able kitchen in the world. Even the
cooking pots are lined with gold, and
the plates and dishes used at the royal
table are of solid gold. incrusted with
precious stones. If it were possible
for the contents of the Shah's kitchen
to be put up for auction they would

of nurse, with other unfortunates to
keep him company. The black fluid
is injected into his arm four times a
day. He is given tea and toast twice
a day and soup once day. That is
the whole treatment
But the patient does not know that
he is being treated. He does not even
know where he is. The back fluid
which has been injected into his arm
produces hallucination. He may be
fighting Tagalogs in the Philippines;
he may be playing football. His ex-
perience may be singing in a church
choir; he may be pleasant or the re-
verse. 1t is generally pleasant
The delusions are caused by the
medicine. When the patient ceases

PREPARING FOR WAR.
Fighting Strength of Russia Is Being
Constantly Increased.

The Russian navy is now second to
that of England and is being strength
ened every month by the additions of
new ships. writes William E. Curtis in
the Chicago Record Herald. 1t claims
the fastest torpedo boat in the world,
which was designed by Sakoveno, a
Russian engineer, and was built with
great secrecy in a French shipyard. 1t
is cigar-shaped, tapering to sharp
points at both ends, and filled with
powerful machinery, which drives its
triple screws with speed of 40 miles
an hour. 1t can carry fuel for cruise
of 5000 miles, and it is claimed that it
can cross the Atlantic IN three days
and half.
The Russians are getting ready for
an emergency, which means war with
Japan, and are increasing their navy
and putting their army in fighting con-
dition with great energy and at great
expense. The army has recently been
completely reorganized and provided
with new equipments. The Russians
unloaded 100000 rifles of obsolete pat
tern upon the Chinese government and
substituted new ones of long range,
high power and small caliber. Those
were Russian guns which the Boxers
fired at the British embassy in Pekin
during the recent siege.
Russia has % first-class battleships,
10 armored cruisers, IL first-class cruis-
ers, and 1876 torpedo boats. The lowest
estimate of the peace strength of the
Russian army under the present re-
organization since January l, 1901, is
AZ, 900 officers and 100000 men. and
the war footing of $4,000 officers and
$500 900 men, which is a million more
than the present numerical strength.
When the vessels now under construc-
tion are completed the Russian navy
will be increased by 113 ships of all
classes, including "a battleships, %
cruisers. Al gunboats, 80 torpedo boat
destroyers and 40 torpedo boats. Fifty
submarine boats are also under con-
struction.
