MULE ON sNowsHoEs.
The Plan by Which Mail Was Carried
Through Big snowdrIfts.

through BlE BnOWdrlttas
1t is said that the late Jock Darling,
the most noted hunter and trapper
ever known in Maine, once brought a
young deer out OF the deep SHOWS Of
the woods by fitting snowshoes to its
feet, and there have been instances of
dogs wearing the moosehide, but not
until recent day, so far as the rec
ords show, did any one in this New
England state ever see a mule on
snowshoes. The snow that came last
week was only an ordinary fall, but
the gale that succeeded 1t piled up big
drifts, shutting out many towns from
all communication with the outside
world. Bingham, in Somerset county,
had been without mail for a week
when one evening, the mail carrier,
Henry Caswell, arrived from The
Forks with four sacks slung over a
mules back. The mule, Pete, is a
diminutlve animal, tough and strong,
but, going as mules generally CO. ut
terly unable to wade through the high
ridges of snow between The Forks
and Bingham. So Caswell, after study
ing the situation a bit, decided to fit
snowshoes to Pete. The plan worked
all right and the little mule, seeming
to appreciate the situation, allowed
the shoes to be fitted without objec-
ton. The shoes were made of oak
frames, woven with stout moosehide,
about half the width worn by men and
without the usual long shank behind.
Pete came along on his shoes as well
as Caswell on his, and the two were
welcomed with shouts Of approval by
the people of Bingham. The return
journey, twenty-four miles, was made
in the same way.

rasthenia, or nervous prostration
Peruna will be found to effect an
immediate and lasting cure in all cases
of systemic catarrh. 1t acts quickly
and benehcially on the diseased mu-
cous membranes, and with healthy
mucous membranes the catarrh can no
longer exist.
Peruna a True Friend to Women.
Mrs. F. j. Lynch, writes the follow
ing from 324 S. Division street, Grand
Rapids, Mich:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.
Gentlemen-"I earnestly recommend
Peruna to any suffering woman, as it
cures quickly. Last year / had most
persistent cough which nothing seemed
to cure. Two bottles of Peruna did
more for me than all the doctors
seemed to do. In a couple OF weeks
found myself In excellent health, and
have been enjoying it ever since.
Hence 1 look on Peruna as a true
friend to women. Mrs. F. j. Lynch.
Peruna is equally efilcacious in cur
ing catarrh of the throat as in curing
systemic catarrh or catarrh of the
stomach. Catarrh Is essentially the
same wherever located. Peruna cures
catarrh.
Peruna Makes You Feel Like a New
Person.
Miss Mary Goats, a popular young
woman Of Appleton, Wis, and presi-
dent of the Appleton Young Ladies'
Club, also speaks In glowing terms of
Peruna. A letter recently received from
her by The Peruna Medicine Co., Of
Columbus, Ohio, reads as follows:
II am glad to call the attention of my
friends to Peruna. When that lam

What the sultan Spends.

The yearly expenses Of the sultan of
Turkey have been estimated at no less
sum than $30,O00,O00, OF this ST.
100000 alone is spent on the clothing
of the women and 100000 on the sui
tans own wardrobe. Nearly $500, 900
is swallowed up by presents, $4,000, 900
goes Spr pocket money, and still an
other $5,OO0,O00 for the table. 1t seems
Incredible that so much money can
possibly be spent in year by one man
but when it is remembered that some
fifteen hundred people live within the
palace walls, live luxuriously and
dress extensively at the cost of the
civil list, it appears little more COM
prehensible.

The court of Lausanne recently rem
dered very important decision, which
is thought to strike at personal liber-
ty. An Italian woman rented a room
in that city. A few months later she
departed, leaving behind her a box
containing wearing apparel. Intending
to return for her property she took
the key of the room with her A short
time afterward she removed her trunk
but forgot to return the key of the
room to the landlady. For this of
Tense she was sentenced to seven
days Imprisonment The newspapers
are up in arms against this judgment

The servant question does not exist
for the women of Japan. A well-to-do
family has generally fifteen servants.
Wages are low. A nurse commands 81
a month; the pay of cook averages
from $1.50 to so per month with board
and clothing. In households where
the European mode OF living has not
been adopted, the hours of meals are
generally breakfast, consisting of rice,
dried fish and vegetables, at or s in
the morning, a meat luncheon (beef
or poultry at IL and supper in the
evening from to 8. The national bev-
erage is wine. Dinner is served on
small lacquer trays.

TESTING OF DIAMONDS.
How to Show whether Supposed Pre-
clous Stones Are Genuine.

01aANN-H-N
Although you may not be an expert
at precious stones, there are three
ways in which you can tell whether
a diamond is real or not.
First boil the stone in boracic acid
to preserve the polish upon the surface
of the stone Then heat the jewel in
a gas flame and drop it into some cold
water while it is hot. If it is a real
diamond it will stand the test without
cracking to pieces. If an imitation, the
stone will crack and crumble to pieces
The second method is as follows: Take
a cup Of water-a black cup, gutta
percha, or any dark stone cup is best
and drop two stones into the water,
the one q diamond and the other,
which is known to be ordinary crys-
tai. The diamond, If true one, will
shine clear white through the water
and will be clearly visible, while the
other stone will blend with the water
in such way as to be almost imper-
ceptible in the water. Another plan
is to procure surface of striped pa
per-red and white stripes are the most
suitable-and pass the suspected stone
slowly over its surface. If the colors
show through the stone it is some va
riety of crystal and not diamond. A
real diamond will not show the vari-
ETY. of colors, but will look the same
over the red as well as the white
Stripes.-London Express.

your food no longer tastes good. and

efficaious. Miss Marie Coats.
Diseased nerves are traceable direct
ly to poor digestion, and poor diges-
ton is directly traceable to catarrh.
With the slightest catarrh of the stom-
ach no one can have good digestion
Very few Of the many women who
have catarrh of the stomach suspect
what their real trouble is. They know
they belch after meals, have sour stom-
ach, a sensation Of weight or heavi-
ness, a fullness, irregular appetite,
drowsiness, gnawing, empty sensations,
occasional pain-they all know this;
but they do not know that their trouble
is catarrh Of the stomach. II they did
they would take Peruna.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. AS soon as Peruna removes
catarrh from the stomach the diges-
ton becomes good, appetite regular,
nerves strong, and trouble vanishes.
Peruna strengthens weak nerves, not
by temporarily stimulating them, but
by removing the cause of weak nerves
poor digestion. This is the only
cure that lasts. Remove the cause:
Nature will do the rest. Peruna re-
moves the cause.
II you do not derive prompt and sat
lsfactory results from the use OF Pc
runa, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis

DREYFUs UNAPPRECIATIvE

London, June 1O.-Thc visit to En-
gland of Matre Labor, the distin-
guished French advocate, has develop
ed the fact that the relations between
himself and Dreyfus have greatly
changed since the Rennese drama.
Matre Labori's friends say that Drey-
fus has treated his savior shamefully.
They declare that the last time prey-
fus stayed in Paris he never went near
M. Labori and has shown an utter lack
of gratitude.
NJ. Labori does not conceal his APP
probation Of the circumstances, but
is as ardent as ever, declaring in pri-
vate that Dreyfus was wrongfully con-
victed and the slightest suggestion to
the contrary is sufficient to send the
advocate into passionate tit OF de.
nunciation of Dreyfas' detractors, and
whatever may be the personal rela-
tions between himself and the pris'
oner of DEVILS Island, he certainly
has not lost any ardor in behalf of his
famous client.

IMPRISONED HER DAUGH-
TER,

Paris, June 10.-Tne sensation OF
the week has been the arrest OF Ma.

owner of the neighborhood Of Poitiers
and her son a former sub.perfect Of
the department Of Vienne and lead
er OF Poitiers society, on the charge OF
incarcerating Mile. Blanche Monnier
daughter of Madame Monnier, for 20
years in a room in Madame Monnier's
honSe.
The police were anonymously mott.
fed of the womanS detention, enter
ed the house and found Nine. Mon
nier shut up in room, in darkness
lying on a mattress, unclothed, and SO
emaciated that she appeared to be a
living skeleton. The room was Gov
cred with filth, bones, refuse, food,
worms, rats and all kinds OF vermin
The unfortunate woman who mac
partly lost her reason, was taken to a
hospital. 1t was thought she woulc
die but she is now improving.
Twenty-Five years ago she was
beautiful brunette and fell in love
with lawyer without means. Hel
mother disapproved of their love ant
confined her in the room in which sh'
has only recently left. The son, az
ter his arrest, pleaded that be actet
as he did on account of tilial piety ant
that the mother was responsible. TN
lawyer died in 1885.
There was another dramatic devel
opment in the case today. Madam
Monnier died in prison OF heart dis
ease. The gravity of her crime wa
brought home to her at the Judge
examination Thursday. She becam
i'll and died suddenly in the inhrmar
of the prison this morning.

The following interesting article on
the "Undevelopcd Resources OF Hawaii
appears in the first issue OF the Current
Encyclopedia, published last July In Chi
cage:
1t may be said that with the exccp-
ton OF the production OF sugar. rice fire.
wood fertilizers and live stock. and the
promotion OF irrigation, the development
OF the natural resources of the Hawaiian
Islands has scarcely begun In irriga-
ton a good beginning has been made
but great extension OF IT Is very prac-
ticable. The same may be said about
the production of fertilizers. Several OF
the small uninhabited islands In the
northwestern part of the group have con-
siderable quantities or phosphate guano
One of these, Laysan Island, has been
worked for several years b. Il local COM
pany under a lease from the Hawaiian
government. IA
The production of fruit vegetables and
farm products is capable or large in
crease. This will be promoted both by n
growing local demand. due to an in
creasing population, and by an improved
market for some of these products on the
mainland, under the influence of free
trade. ...- .,,,....
The canning industry and the produc-
ton of jellies and jams will be stimulated
by the same new conditions.
The climate and soil of the Territory
are most favorable for the growing of
fiber plants. in which enterprise some ex-
periments have already been made There
is reason 10 believe that factories for the
manufacture of cordage and dress fabrics
supplied with raw material from local
production, may be profitable
There seems TO be no good reason WHY
WOODEN factories for manufacturing the
local product might not be probably
carried ON. A shoe manufacturing enter
prise. to consume the local production
of hides, Is now being organized in Hon
olulu. ..'."..

CHARLESTON, S, c., oct, 2S.-About
eight hundred women, many of whom
were members OF well known families,

ing while in a rush toward the door OF
a bargain house on King street Allur-
ing offers had been made and before
the establishment was opened the wo-
men had blocked the street to such an
extent that cars could not be run.
When the doors swung back the wo-
men swarmed in and dozens were
trampled upon and hurt. Several WOO
men tainted. Mary Coleman, colored,
was thrown to the sidewalk and the
mad bargain hunters rushed over her.
She is seriously injured. AS the mob
surged through the entrance glasses
We're smashed and the heavy barbados
previously erected We're twisted from
their places. A riot call was sent to
police headquarters and a patrol wagon
filled with policemen was rushed to the
scene. The mob was driven back and
the police closed the store. ...
The proprietor was allowed to open
