Bacillus of Grip.

Peruna not only cures the grip but prevents it.
Taken in time thousands of lives viii be saved in this present epldemlc.
Every family should take the precaution to secure a supply If Peruna
at once. for the retail and wholesale stock of the remedy may be exhausted
by the enormous demand for it.
Tt is wisdom to have Peruna in the house ven before the grip attacks
the household.
It has been ascertained by a reporter that the following people OF
national reputation have given public endorsement u testimonials TO
Peruna as a remedy for la grippe:
Congressman Howard, of Alabama, says: g have taken Peruna for the
grip and recommend it as n excellent remedy to all fenowsuferers."
Congressman White, of North Carolina, says: II find Peruna to be an
excellent remedy for the grip Ihave used it in my family and they all
join me III recommending it."
Miss Frances M, Anderson, of Washington. Z, c., daughter of Judge
Anderson, of Virginia, says:s"I was taken very Ill with The grip. 1 took
Peruna and a able to leave my bed in a week"
Mrs. Harriette A. s. Marsh, President of the Woman's Benevolent
Association, of Chicago, writes: 81 suffered with grip seven weeks.
Nothing helped me. Tried Peruna and within three weeks L was fully
restored. Shall never be without it again"
At the appearance of the first symptoms of grip people should stay
indoors and take Peruna in small doses (teaspoonful every hour) until the
symptoms disappear. This will prevent a long, disastrous sickness and
perhaps fatal results

A scheme Tint Failed.

James A. Hamilton OF Chambers
burg, Pa, told this story at a recent
meeting in Philadelphia of the officials
of 65 Pennsylvania towns to discuss
the tramp question:
"Three years ago we thought we had
the tramp question in Franklin county
settled for all time. We started out
to make them work. We bought sew
eral hundred carloads of stone and
had it hauled to the yard of the coun-
ty Jail. We invested in a good many
suits of blue jeans and laid in a stock
OF hammers and ran up quite a bill for
provisions. Then we sem out after
the tramps. We didn't have to send
far. The woods We're full of 'em, sent
down, 1 suppose, from Scranton and
Allentown.
"The whole country was interested in
the project, and the first day of the ex-
pertinent we had 600 to 800 people turn
out to see the tramps work. We had
a band of music, too, and altogether it
was a great day. We had corralled 30
worked first rate, but after the midday
meal they complained of the food. In
the afternoon they gathered in little
groups Of three and four and, did 4
good deal Of talking. NeXf morning
after breakfast there was q strike.
They wouldn'tt work., and we've never
been able to make them work since"

The Panama Canal.

In the opinion of all engineers a sea
level canal across the isthmus Of Pana-
ma is the most desirable, although it
would be the most expensive. The
greatest objection to it is the length of
time required for it's construction,
which is estimated at 20 years. 1t is
believed that with the work already
done a canal with locks across Panama
could be completed in six or seven
years. Ten years is the time fixed for
the Nicaragua route. The reason that
the sea level canal at Panama would
take so long a time is that the space is
limited and it would be possible to
work. only a small number Of men and
excavators. The heavy digging is all
at the watersheds, within the limits of
a few miles.

NEW SHORT STORES
Grateful For Nonattendance.

At a regent dinner party in Washing
ton a good story was told at the eX-
pense of Representative Norton Of
Ohio, commonly known to his col
leagues as Doctor" relates the Chi
cago Chronicle. 1t seems that early in
lis career Norton graduated in medi-
cine and took up the practice, later
giving it up for the more enticing
practice of politics." The story in
question was told by one Of DIR. Nor
toms colleagues from Ohio and was as
follows:
"Back in the seventies 1 lived near
DR.. Norton, then a practicing physi-
clan. While in that neighborhood I
was taken seriously i'll and required
the services Of two physicians for days
and days. L knew I was a pretty sick
man, and consequently when the doc
tors failed to put in an appearance on
a certain day l asked my wife what
had become of them. She held back
for a minute, but finally confessed,
with tears in her eyes,, hat they had
given me up hat they were convinced
they could do nothing more for me.
Well, I was determined not to die and
happened to think Of DR.. Norton. And
I want to say to you now hat DR..
Norton saved my life. I have always
been grateful to him for this great
service, although l have never been
able to repay him.
"'Send for DR.. Norton said I. He
will be able to save me-
"Ny wife acted on my suggestion
and, calling a messenger sent for the
doctor. Pretty soon the messenger re-
turned with a reply to my wife's mes
sage, and this is what she read:

He Lacked CALAMITY.

If Sophie Croizette is spoken. of now
adays, no M seems to understand, and
yet a few years ago h was an actress
of such prominence that it was sug-
gested that Bernhardt had in her a
possible rival. Her death in Paris re-
Gently has brought up her name, and
those who are ambling through the
reminiscent period of middle life are
discussing her as she was in the height
of her achievement, when she had just
established her fame in lie Sphinx"
That was in 1874, and Bernhardt was
new enough in those days to feel the
power of Croizette as a rival. But
Croizette married in 1882, and with her
marriage meant retirement from the
stage, and so we ceased to hear from
her, and the present generation knows
her not, while the divine Sarah is still
triumphant.
One little incident comes to mind in
connection with Croizette. It was at
the moment of her greatest fame. 4

HUN1OR OF THE HOUR
ON the Picket Lime.

A Louisville boy, an officer In the
Philippines, tells a story on one Of his
brother officers which will bear repeat
ing. The officer in question, a captain,
shutters badly. He had been on re-
cruiting duty in the United States and
while at his work had enlisted for his
regiment a man who suffered as badly
as If not worse than the captain him
self.
Some time later he was ordered back
to his company and a few days after
ward was on duty as officer of the day.
AS 1t happened, the sufferer that he
a enlisted was without his knoWl-
edge put on guard duty that night.
When the captain went around to in
spect the guard, he came to the new
sentry and was challenged, "Huh-huh-
h-halt, w~ho-who-who c-c-comes there2 p
The captain answered, "O-o-o-of-of-f-
officer of the did-dad-day."
Then the sentry said, "A-a-a-advance,
of-f-of-officer Of the d-d-day, to b-bib-
bab-be recognized"
BY this time the captain was mad all
over, for he thought the man was
hooking him. He did not know the re-
cruit, although the recruit knew him.
The captain wen bounding up to the
sentry and yelled at him:

It has been often said that every nan
is an inventor if he had only the oppor-
tunity Of exercising his talents. In any
case, it seems clear that the faculty of
invention is not so much of a born gift
as is generally supposed. Why should
not the technical pupils be encouraged
to attempt at least to invent by the ex-
ercise of some very simple means of ed
ucation? Surely it would not be diff
cult to prepare a series of mechanical
models more or less imperfect in opera
ton and call upon the pupils to employ
their wits in devising improvements in
them.
The intellectual training entailed by
such a course Of instruction would in
itself be most valuable and the results
peculiarly interesting. It would teach
pupils to "think" and induce a habit of
mind in the examination and criticism
of mechanisms that should prove of
the greatest use to hen in their subse-
quent careers.-London Express.

travelled around the world, starting
from New York in opposite directions
to meet again in Moscow for the x
press purpose of calling upon him.
When they had finished, Tolstoi didn't
know anything more gallant to say
than:
"Well ladies, I think you might have
employed your time to better purpose"
AS he spoke he felt the rudeness of
the remark and was about to add some
excuses when one of the young ladies
cried: /.
"Ah, how much like Leo To1stoi! I
was ready to bet that you would say
something of this sort"

Uncle Sans Freak Batteries.

Only a few years. ago a. battery of
pneumatic dynamite guns was erected
at Sandy Hook at the expense of the
United States government and a SINH
lar battery at San Francisco. Some Of
them are of 10 inch caIibars throwing a
alell carrying a maximum charge of
nitrogelatin of 500 pounds about a mile
AID a half. These are the same type of
Pneumatic guns which were mounted
on the .V%esuvius and which popped
away at the bluffs of Santiago without
doing any harm. These guns must be
placed in the category of freaks in
view Of the fact that long before their
construction it was well known that
there were a number Of high explo-
sives as powerful as dynamite which
could be safely thrown with gunpow-
der and at much higher velocities and
to much greater ranges by means Of
guns and projectiles of far greater SIM
plicity.-Home Magazine.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
eueer News ana Figures.

While the emigration from Ireland
increases from year to year a curious
phenomenon Is observed in the United
Kingdom. The number Of marriages
is increasing, and the number of births
Is decreasing. There never were SO
many marriages in England as there
were in the year 1899. But the records
Of the birth rate rup down to the low
est figure. England that was SO proud
of her increase in population from 12,-
100000 to 100000 since the COM
mencement of the French revolution,
while during the same period the pop
ulation of France increased only from
25,OOO,OOO to $4,000, 900, now finds her
population diminishing. But the
strange thing about it is hat the same
phenomenon is observed in Australia,
in New Zealand and in all the coun-
tries inhabited exclusively by Anglo
Saxons. The London Daily Telegraph
gives a cause for the phenomenon
which may perhaps be the true one,
and this cause is none other thar the
rebellion, often noticed by close OBJ
servers, of the Anglo-SaXon women
against maternity, a rebellion which is
the consequence of their passion for
independence and their constantly in
creasing desire to become equal If not
superior to men in intellectual occupa-
tons and in physical exercises. In
saying this we refer particularly to
American women. For the ladies of

CHOICE MISCELLANY,
Fun on a Bristol street.

A very singular state of things now
exists in the town of Bristol, Tenn,
by reason of an act passed at the last
session of ngr fixing the boundary
line between Tennessee and Virginia.
The line runs along the middle of the
main street of Bristol, and as there is
a railway in the street the passengers
on the south side of the car are riding
in Tennessee and those on the north
side in Virginia.
If en- offender against the laws OF
Virginia be sitting on the south side of
a car, an officer from Virginia may sit
opposite to him, within arms reach,
and yet dare not touch him unless he
has duly issued requisition papers.
But there is a more serious phase of
the matter han that. If a headstrOng
youth and an equally headstrong maid
en-, both under the legal age and living
In Virginia, take a notion to be mar
ried, they can have the ceremony per-
formed on the south side Of a car,
while on the north side there is a law
prohibiting it. So they have only to
move from one side of a car to the
other. Tennessee permits the marriage
of minors, but Virginia does not.
However, the same state of things
would exist if the boundary line "a
outside the town limits in a field, for
Virginia law would rule on one side of
the line and Tennessee law on the
other. The oddly about the present
arrangement is that the line runs along
the middle of a street on which there is
a railway.

The Cloth of Fail River.

Fall River easily leads all other cot

It has about one-fifth Of all the cotton
spindles in the United%States and more
than twice as many as any other indus
trial center in America. 1t makes S43,-
100000 yards of cloth annually. Every
working day it's mills weave more than
1900 miles of cloth. If all the mills
could be run on one piece, the fastest
express train could not travel fast
enough to carry off the piece as it is
woven, since the product is more than
two miles a minute.
