"At this" wrote the author, the
great strong man broke down and wept.

ALL OF GLASS.
Frenchman Has a Home Built of and
 Furnished with It.

How would you like to live in glass house?
 Jules Henrivaux, one of the great est French chemists, considers glass the most serviceable, available and sanitary material for building houses, says the New York World.
 He has executed, says the New York World, a model building made of glass held together by angle iron There are pipes for hot and cold wa ter, electric wires, sewerage, every thing needed for the comfort of a householder.
 Staircases, ceilings, wall decora- tions, fireplaces-all are of glass.
 The decorations are remarkable both for beauty of design and color. They are made of opaque glass, ar ranged in prisms and crystals, with facets like diamonds.
 Chairs and tables are of vitrified glass, and the residence and its fur niture are indestructible.
 The entire surface of everything, from top story to basement, can be washed clean with soap and water and dried in ten minutes. There is no dust and no cObWebS,
 The walls of the house are colored and entirely impenetrable to light ex- cept through window and door open ings.
 M. Henrivaux is an enthusiast on glass. He points out that there is an ineXhaustible supply of material for making glass.
 It can be manufactured out of sand 1t never wears out.
 It can be molded into any shape.
 It is easily made nonbreakable
 Paris has already begun to pave her streets with glass.
 Glass is made into dresses, pipes baskets, and is now being substituted for many pieces of iron machinery.

PE-RU-NA AVERTS DANCER In That Critical Time When a Girl
 Becomes a Woman.

called and he generally advises an op- eratiOn. Perhaps he will subject the patient to long series of experiments with nervines and tonics. The reason he does not often make cure is be- cause he does not recognize the trou- ble.
 In large ma jority 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 nervine or a stimulant. It is a specific for catarrh and cures catarrh wherever it may turk 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 sin cere 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 en- thusiasm will lead them to do as this girl did-proclaim the fact to the world so that others may read it and do likewise.
 Mrs. Christopher Fliehmann, Am sterdam, \. r., writes:
 q have been sick with catarrh of the stomach and pelvic organs for about five years, and had many a doctor, but none could help me. Some said I would never get over it. One day when I read your almanac I saw those who had been cured by Peruna; then l thought I would try it. I did, and found relief with the first bottle l took, and after two more bottles l was as well and strong as l was before."- Mrs. Christopher Fliehmann.
 If you do not derive prompt and sat isfactory results from the use of Pe- runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

When London Will Be Crowded.

London authorities predict that there will be 3O,000 well-to-do home less visitors in London on coronation eve, says the Graphic. Should the prediction be fulfilled, the prices charged for lodgings and houses that week will be phenomenal. Itmust be borne in mind that many of the great hotels in the West End will be hired by the government to accommodate royal personages, their representa- tives, and their suites. It is believed that small bedroom in the West end will fetch $50 for the seven days the festivities are to last.
