PE-Ru-NA AVERTS DANGER
In That Critical Time When Girl Becomes
. Woman.

called and he generally advises an op-
Grafton. Perhaps he will subject the pa
tient to a 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 trouble.
In a-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 a palliative or a sedative or ner-
vine or a stimulant. 1t is 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 sincere
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 enthusiasm
will lead them to do as this girl did
proclaim the fact to the world so that
others may read 1t and do likewise
Mrs. Christopher F'liehmann, Amster-
dam, N. Y, writes:

CURVED SPINE IN COLLEGE.
Surprising Number of Students Found to
Be Poorly Developed.


DR.. Jay W. seaver. director and
physical examiner of the gymnasium
at Yale university, declares that more
students in American institutions of
learning are imperfectly developed
than is generally imagined. A sur
prisingly large number of cases of
scoliosis, or curvature of the spine, has
been found in investigation pursued at
eighteen American colleges, one of
them being Yale, DR.. Seaver, being
the collator of the data, has made the
results public Nearly $1,000 students
were examined during the last five
years. That number includes about
1000 men of the successive freshman
classes at Yale. DR.. Seaver found that
Sc per cent or III students, in the
Yale incoming classes were scoliotic.
Similar data from other unive-s ties
show approximately like results, which
has led DR.. Seaver to the conclusion
that scoliosis is the commonest physi-
cal deformity to be met with among
educated American young men, DR..
Seaver's observations of the men gave
the additional data that men noted
as bookish and ambitious for scholar
ship honors are in the ratio of one out
of eighteen scoliotic, due possibly to
sedentary habits and long addiction to
constrained positions at reading desks.
The average student, not too much
addicted to work. suffers in the ratio OF
5-5 per cent. Among athletes scarcely
one in sixty has been found with
spinal curvature. In case of scoliosis
being found the victim is given a pres
cribed course of careful exercise
which, in many cases, has cured OF
modified the trouble.

californla,s Great rrune Crop.

In California the prune industry has
made phenomenal strides within the
past few years Twenty years ago it is
questionable if there existed a single
prune tree in the whole of that state,
whereas now California is recognized
as the largest producer of prunes in the
world At present about $4,000 acres
are given over to the cultivation OF
prunes. and last years prune crop
amounted to 15O, 900 900 pounds Dur

BIRD-WALKs FOR PLEASURE.
Birds Among the Eastern Hills Studied
by Parties.

Birds Among the Eastern Hills Studied
by Parties.
One of the latest summer diversions
among those who spend their outings
in the hills and country places o. New
England is bird-walks. Parties of two,
three, or perhaps a dozen, start out at
or O'Clock in the morning equipped
with all the essentials for intelli gent
bird-study. Our woods are full of
feathered songsters, whose everyday
life, from dawn to sunset, is as full of
interesting events to many as are the
lives of members of the more conspicu-
Gus human family. Often these walks
are really classes, conducted by able
instructors in the branch of natural
history taken up in this way. What is
learned of bird-lore, and the exhilarat-
ing effect of such early morning out
ings, are ample return for the small
preparation made. A good pair of
field glasses is, of course, necessary
for the bird-walker. Often breakfast
in the form of lunch is taken along by
a party, and eaten, picnic-faShiOn, at
6 or z in some pretty, dewy place, with
the birds chirping and duttering all
around. Many of us are quite familiar
dences of birds, but, only the bird
walkers can pretend to know much
about the good-mornings of our happy
little brothers of the alr.-Philadelphia

That the United States great farm

may be rid of pest which annually
threatens the crops with destruction
and causes an enormous financial loss,
the government has adopted a new and
extraordinary means. GrasshOppers
exist in untold numbers in New Next
co, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska,
but the situation in Southern Texas
seems to be worse than anywhere else
10 relieve the distress occasioned by
the grasshoppers, government cntomol-
ogists are putting up in bottles disease
germs of a fungous kind, deadly to
grasshoppers, and is sending them to
parts Of the country where the damage
threatens to be particularly severe.
The fungus is obtained from South
Africa, where it has been used with
great success recently, vast armies of
grasshoppers being literally wiped out
by 1t. 1t is propagated artificially by
applying bit of it to a sterillzcd prep
aration Of gelatine and blood serum,

OF AN AMBASSADOR.
Sixty Thousand Year Required at the
European Capitals.


European Capitals.
Unlike other governments, ours
makes no extra allowance for the liv-
ing expenses Of it's representative. Thus
it IS that many times an important for
eign mission has been declined-for
financial reasons-hV the able states
man to whom it was proffered. If one
accepts such post he naturally feels
in duty bound to live up to the stand
ard set by his predecessors, and this
usually means that he must have a
large private fortune to draw upon.
There have been few instances where
such positions have been held by men
unable to maintain great establish
ments, but who have unwisely at
tempted it by mourning obligations
which they could not meet, thus bring
ing themselves and their government
to humiliation. Diplomatic agents are
without the pale Of the common law of
the countries where they are stationed
and if bills are left unpaid creditors
have absolutely no recourse.
There is a large financial advantage
to a diplomat if he Is bachelor, for
it is then understood that lie has no
special obligations in a social way. II
he be personally popular he will be
overwhelmed with invitations, but
need never use any in return except to
such small parties of friends as he may
care to entertain in his chambers or at
a restaurant. The most of the diplo-
matte corps, however, are married
men, for their governments know that
upon the social administration by the
mistress Of the household depends in
no small part the success Of the official
side of the residency.
A diplomatic residence in any of the
larger European capitals may easily
mean an annual expenditure Of from
forty thousand to fifty thousand dol
lars. Only rich men are therefore eli
gible for these posts, and thus false
standard of wealth is being raised as a
test for diplomatic Ireferment. 1t is
likely that before lons our government
will lease and fut nish permanent
houses for it's ambassadors and minis
tiers in the principal foreign. countries.
and this will go a l, ing way toward
correcting a grave fault in the present
system. Our ambassador to st. Pc
tersburg had to do htuse hunting for

UNIQUE RAILWAY IN SAXONY,

Suspended from Iron Piers, 1t Runs to
the Top of Mountain.
Consul-General Charles L. Cole, Of
Dresden, writes that the suspension
railway at Loschwitz, Saxony, was
opened to traffic this year and is the
first mountain railway of its kind for
the convenience of passengers In the
world. 1t runs from Loschwitz, a vii
laSe on the banks of the River Elbe,
about five miles from Dresden, to the
etop of the RochwitZ heights, which
command most beautiful view of the
Saxon capital. The railway is $50 feet
long, with a gradient of % per cent and
is constructed according to the Ian
gen" system. Thtrty-three iron piers
of different hight, weighing about 300
tons, the highest being 1872 feet, carry
the rails on which the cars are hung.
Each car holds so passengers and
weighs, when occupied. 1913 tons. Their
shape and construction differs entirely
from all other railway cars, and even
from those used by the Barmen- Elber-
field suspension railway. A steel ca
BILE IL inches in diameter connects
the two trains and locks them firmly
together. It Is operated by two power
full machines of 80 horsepower each,
stationed at the top terminus Of the
road The cable has strength of fex-.
ure of 2O9,4 pounds. Particular at
tention and care has been given to de-
vices to insure the safety of the pas
sengers and to regulate the running of
the cars. ..~.*
Each car is provided with three
brakes-system Butcher Durer-two of
which work automatically at the least
slackening of the tension of the cable
and stop the car. The third brake can
be operated by hand from the platform
OF the car. From hand attached to

It is in this way that the great migra-

as mile wide. They cover the ground
densely, devouring as they go all grass,

two such armies cross each other, but
each keeps right along in it's own
course.
