The great popularity Of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found in
many drug stores. These remedies can
be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at uniform price. and no
druggist can get it cent cheaper.
Thus 1t is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of

day without doubt.

The californ,a woodpeoker.

The California woodpecker does not
differ much in appearance from wood
peckers found in other parts of the
United States. Like them all, it feeds
on beetles and worms; but Judging
/ from the quantity of acorns it con-,
sumes it likes them better than any
other food.
It believes in laying up for the.
proverbial s'rainy day." and as soon
as the acorns begin to ripen it begins
to gather and store them away for
winter use. However, before it gath
ers the acorns. it provides storage
places for them by digging holes in
the soft bark of trees. Each hole is
made just large enough to hold one;
acorn, but it seems to know that
acorns vary in size, and accordingly
it varies the size Of the holes. When,
it finds a fat, ripe acorn it takes it at
once to tree in which it has dug
holes, selects hole of the proper
size, inserts the acorn, point first, and
with ia few steady, well-aimed blows,
drives 1t In to stay until some future
lunch-time. Thus it provides an am
pie supply. Frequently, during the
winter the acorns thus stored in the
trees become so dry that they shriyel
up somewhat, and get loose in their
holes. But the woqdpecker keeps an
eye on them, and when it discovers
loose one, pulls 1t out; digs "a new
hole and again stores It away. When
in need Of food, it draws one out and
.hulls and eats 1t. This bird works
hard for what 1t gets, and has No: mo-
ton Of allowing squirrels OF other
animals to feast at its expense. Should
a squirrel start to climb tree in,
which acorns are stored the birds isT
sure to see It and sound a warning
note, In twinkling scores OF. wood
peckers come flying at the ssqinirEel,
and they worry It until it is glad to-:
run away.-Exchange. - 4.

At Ellis Isl.nd.

Among the immigrants awaiting ex-
animation at Ellis Island recently was
tall young fellow with little black
bag under his arm. He was q Pole.
about twenty years old, and his ad-
mission was a pleasing and dramatic
incident, witnessed by Mr.. Arthur
Henry, and described in Scribner's
. Magazine.
When the young mans turn came to
answer the inevitable Question, '.How.
much money have your" he smiled and
answered frankly, None
But don't you know you can't come
: IN here if you have no money ana no
friend to speak for you? Where are
you going?"
To Fall River first. I have a friend
there. Then l shall see the whole cuun-

of me-
How will you get to Fall River?
Where will you eat and sleep to-

young fellow, confidently. with this"
tapping the black bag-'I can 20

What is it?''
The Pole laughed, and; opening the
bag, took out cornet. 1t was a fine
instrument, and gave evidence OF Inv;
ing care.
Can you play it well?'' asked the
officer. more kindly.
In answer, the young Pole stepped
out into an open space, and lifting the
horn to his lips, began the beautiful
tntermezzo from "Cavalleria RuBti-
cana" At the first note every one in
the great building stood still and lis
tened. The long lines of immigrants
became mctionless. The forlorn wait
ers in the pit looked up, and their
faces became tender. Even the mean

here u q great trick in having tha;
string exactly the right Length ;sc6n-.
tstinned the boy. You have to gauge;
the length Of the string by placing
your toe on one end OF It., and then
reaching up as kigh as you can. The,
highest you can reach with the string
In your hand Is the longest you can
have the string. II you have the
string longer, when you throw the top,
after winding 1t, the string viii not
unwind, and So Of course, the top can't
spin even If you throw it. properly.
Then, II the string Is too short, 1t, nm.
winds too soon, and then also. the top.
cannot spin. Yes, girls can spin tops
after fashion," admitted the boy
with half-concealed contempt for
feminine limitations. & THAT is, IL a.
girl has a brother she may in time
spin a top. My sister sometimes spins
my top, but she is never sure when she
winds and throws It that it will spin;
A boy always knows that III the top,
doesn't spin properly, it Is the fault Of
the top, and not his own fault ! s. : -
1t was. only after an expert cross
examination that the. boy was induced
to confess that the first time he ever
succeeded in making a top spin he was
surprised. He had tried all one day.
and although he had repeatedly failed,
still he perseyered. He knew that It
was q mere question of time, that soon
er or later that top would have to give
IN, and do what was expected Of it.
But It was very stubborn top. Every
time he threw it all 1t did was to go
wabbling off on It's side and try to
hide somewhere. Finally, after an
endless amount of attempts, 1t at last
behaved handsomely, and rewarded
MS perseverance by humming jolly
little tune, and at last it sang so softly
that 1t seemed to be asleep. That night
he dreamed of tops, and the next
morning he, was up bright and early at
his new accomplishment. He has new
" AAesu Usxy elOuUlc Will IudL LOp, Ut
with any other since that time. BY
the end OF the next day he was able to
take 1t up in his hand while it was
spinning without any manifest objec-
tons on the part of the top. "a
Then there is the game of peg
top" said the boy, s'and it is very
popular this year. Every boy places
top fn a ring marked on the ground.
Then they take turns .pegging' at the
onnch of tops. Whenever you hit a
top AND knock it out of the ring, then
the top is yours. Sometimes, when you
hft'a top hard, it splits it right in two.
You are always glad to do this, even
though it ruins the top for your own
use. That is the advantage OF hav-
ing "a rubber peg top; if the point of
top strikes it. instead of splitting:it
only bounds. New York Tribune. 81
