WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The navy de.
partment today received two letters from
admiral Schley relating to the coming
court Of inquiry One of these was in
reply to acting Secretary Hackett's note
ol yesterday, which stated that if Ad-
m1ral Schiey would furnish a list of the
important witnesses he desired to have
brought to Washington at once. his re-
quest would be acceded to as rapidly as
the interests of the service would per
mat by bringing several of the witnesses
at time Although the reply of Ad-
m1ral Schley was not made public. if IS
understood that it is in the nature of a
respectful remonstrance against the
course suggested, coupled with a sug
geStlon that all the witne sses easily avail
able be summoned for the purpose of
conference. The other letter s understood
to refer to matter of detail.
Later in the day it was stated at the
navy department that Admiral Schley's
latest request as to the summon;ng of
witnesses would be granted This VIII
nave the effect of br.n ging here all of the
ochley witnesses at an early date in or

CAPT. FORSYTH FORGIVEN.
A reply has been received at the navy
department from Capt Forsyth to -
letter calling his attention to an alleged
Interview on the Schley court of inquiry.
The following statement of the char
acter of the reply was made at the de-
partment:
Capt. Forsyth while coming east was
detained over Sunday at Kansas City,
Mo. He declined to talk with a reporter.
1t seems, however, he fell into private
conversation with some people at the no.
tel, with no idea that what he said
would be repeated to the press. His re-
marks We're distorted. and in this shape
formed the alleged interview Capt.
Forsyth has frankly avowed his deep re-
gret at any indiscretion in the premises
and the department is satisfied that
vas no intention on his part TO violate
the order of the department to refrain
from public utterances
mo other steps will be taken than to
inform Capt. Forsyth that his explana-
e igfa and 10 will
not be treated as affecting his excellent
record

A Health Barometer.

"My mustache tells me when I am not quite well, or when 1 am q little run down, before feel the altered con dition in the ordinary way" said an expert on the hair, 'and many other people can say the same, either with their hair or beard, or they could do so if they took the trouble to watch.
 "My mustache gets thick and un- ruly. I know what that means, yet am not conscious of any deterioration in health or mental strength. But I always heed the warning, for I have learnt by experience that 1t is a warn ing. A lady patient of mine has wavy hair.
 "When she has been subjected to mental or physical strain, her hair loses its waviness and becomes straight. Overriding it on her cycle, or worry, will bring about this change, and, though she feels no particular weak ness she comprehends that her vitality has been decreased, and acts accord ingly.
 "Anger and the other emotions and sensations have their effect on the hair, more so in some persons than in oth- CTS. I admit, but I believe that we might all make health barometers' of our head-covering if we chose"

Miss Hattie L. Guild, President Illi- nois Young Peoples Christian Tenn perance Union, in a recent letter from Chicago, H., says:
 "I doubt if Peruna has a rival in all the remedies recommended to-day for catarrh of the system. A remedy that will cure catarrh of the stomach will cure the same condition of the mucous membrane anywhere. have found 1t the best remedy I have ever tried for catarrh, and believing it worthy my endorsement l gladly accord it.'
 Catarrh of the abdominal organs is very much more common in summer than in winter time. This form of ca tarrh might be appropriately classed as summer catarrh.
 Peruna will cure catarrh wherever located In pelvic catarrh it has won we'll deserved renown. Peruna will cure any case of diarrhoea, acute or chronic. Peruna is an absolute spec:- fic for dysentery. Peruna cures ca tarrh of the liver. Peruna cures ca tarrh of the stomach.

cro,y;no Trse of Private Cars.

Private railway cars have always been associated in the popular mind with great wealth, but plan has been developed which makes it possible for even a vaudeville actor or a business man in ordinary circumstances, or any body else reasonably well to do, who wishes to make display or to enjoy the luxury of travel, to own a private car built according to his own specifi- cations, according to the Worlds Work.
 A car-refitting company in New York city buys old Pullman coaches, tears the inside furnishings out and refits them according to the wishes of its GUS toners. Whatever kind of private car a man may wish he may order-parlors, handsomely carpeted, sitting rooms, sleeping compartments, smoking rooms all with equipment more or less per feet according as the price. And ears are reftted in this way and sold for prices varying from $1,50O to $l5,000.
 Very handsome and serviceeable cars have been built from the old east aways," and the man of moderate means can travel privately and com fortably in a home of his own. It is an interesting evidence of American manufacturing thrift and of the growth of wealth.

Sewing Done by Ants.

Ants are credited with so many mar -velous accomplishments that new one must be remarkable to the noteworthy. MT. E.. c. Green of Ceylon, an authorl- ty upon insect habits. has, however, made an observation which is well worth putting on record. He has watch ed red ants holding grubs in their mouths and using the web they spin to repair rent in their nest.
 Some leaves which had been fastened together by the ants were separated by NIT. Green, and in short time after he saw small white grubs being passed backward and forward across the gap. Closer observation showed that each grub was held i'll the jaws of one of the worker ants, and its movements were directed as required. A continuous thread of siik issued from the mouth of each grub and was used by the ants to sew up the rent in their shelter.
 There were no grubs in the neighbor- hood, and those used were obtained from a nest at some distance. This de- liberate use of naturally formed web as sewing thread is as astonishing as any instance of the intelligence of ants yet observed.

Peculiar Trees.

The visitor to the. Falkland islands sees a number of what appear to be weather beaten, moss covered powders of various sizes scattered here and there. On attempting to turn one over he is surprised to find that it Is anchor ad to the ground by roots of great strength. These are not powders They are trees. No other place in the world can show such a peculiarity of forest growth. The Falkland islands are ex- posed to a strong polar wind which ren- lers it impossible for trees to grow m the proper form. Nature has eOnSe- auently adapted herself to the prevail Ing conditions and pro 'uced this strange form of plant life. These ~liv- ing stones." as they are called. are quite devoid of grain" and it is next to impossible to cut them up and utilize 'hem for fuel.
