MISS LIZZIE SNEATHING
Or. Hartman, the Famous GynaecoIo-
gist and Inventor of Pe-Tu-na o.
fers to Treat Women Free During
the Summer Months.

America is the land of nervous
women. The great majority of nervous
women are so because they are suffer-
ing from some form of female disease.
BY far the greatest number of female
troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble is
so common, SO prevalent, that they ac-
cept it as almost inevitable. The great
est obstacle in the way of recovery is
that they do not understand that it is
catarrh which is the source OF their
illness In female complaint, ninety
nine cases out of one hundred are moth
ing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.
The following letter was recently re-
ceived:
1s6 W. 3sth St, New York City.
Tho Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.
Gentlemen:-"Whet bread and meat
means to the hungry Peruna means to
the sick. 1t is an especially valuable
medicine for sick women. / have found
that no medicine SO quickly restores
health and places the body in normal
condition. / but voice the sentiments
of women who were once sick, but are
now in perfect health"
MISS LIZZIE SNEATBING.
All women who are in doubt as to
what their trouble is should write Dr.
Hartman. Columbus, Ohio. Give him
full description of your trouble, previ-
GUS treatment, symptoms and age. He
will promptly reply, with full directions
for tire atment free of charge. This is an
opportunity which no ailing woman
should miss DIR. Hartman has become
renowned through his success in treat
ing women's diseases. His experience
in these matters is vast. Correspondence

LONDON is BEING REBUILT.
Yankee Sky-Scrapers Will Revolution
ize the Great Metropolitan.

Someone has said that London is
the most backward white mans city
in the world. This is true to-day. To-
morrow it will be all different For a
new city is coming into being, not
quickly-it would not be itself il 1t
hurried-but surely. Within twenty
years one will see it not only almost
wholly rebuilt. but a city with all the
modern conveniences. Great govern
ment buildings in the course of con-
struction. as well as YanKee-built sky
scrapers, will give the old town its
new dress. And tube railways bur-
rowing in every direction far under
ground will actually made it possible
to cross London in reasonable time
Everywhere that it is possible, streets
are being widened, and great avenues
cut at untold expense through popu-
lous sections. This rebuilding and
renovating is not received wholly with
satisfaction. The English love the
leisurely way of their capital as much
as they love its dinginess and dirt. AS
one old Tory put it, to his mind the
reformers were trying to convert
the place into a "shrieking American
pandemonium." | am sure that man

1t Is Dogwood Winter.

A man from North Carolina, who
was visiting in Philadelphia the
other day during the cold snap, ex-
pressed surprise that nothing was
said about the dogwood winter.
What do you mean by dogwood
winter?" asked his host. Don't you
really know what dogwood winter
is?" demanded the man from Hick-
ory, N. G. why, we've been having
it for the last three or four days.
There is always a spell of it in May,
when the dogwood tree is in bloom.
For several days there is cold, dis
agreeable, cloudy weather, and often
touch of frost. Down our way it
never fails, and we call it dogwood
winter. l thought the phrase was
general"

The University of Cairo.

A queer university this at Cairo
with its 10000 students, It's central
square is open to the sun; about it are
separate ''riwaks," or porches, for
each of the twenty-four recognized ma
tions of Islam; in each riwak, youth
from all the Moslem world study to
chant the Koran, to write beautiful
Arabic script, and in the end to be
doctors. lawyers, kadis. rulers. Each
nation has its own ceremonial way of
doing so simple thing as drinking
water. Nor are sect differences a
trivial matter. The schism between
the Sunni and the Stuff Il so bitter that
each deems it duty to pollute the holy
wells and sacred places of the other,
though if detected the penalty is
death. Minor variations in belief and
customs are numborless. There are
Moslems who wear the fez, the tur-
ban, the tarboosh, or no head cover
ing at all; those who do not; those
who reek of garlic and those who hold
onions accursed, because, as they
claim, Mohammed never ate them.

colored Mans Remarkable Memo,.

At little dinner the other night the
statement was made that the colored
race had longer memories than white
folk. Mark Twain, who was present,
agreed with the remark, and to prove
it told the following:
Some years ago, when South, l met
an old colored man who claimed to
have known George Washington. |
asked him if he was in the boat when
Gen. Washington crossed the Della
ware. and he instantly replied, Lor' !,

when George took the hack at the
cherry tree?'
He looked worried for a minute.
and then, with beaming smile, said:

Evictions in Ireland.

A return has been issued showing
the number of evictions that have
taken place in Ireland since the 1st
of May. 1879, and how the farms have
since been occupied. The estates
dealt with are seventeen in number,
and include the Clanricarde, Ponson-
by, Lansdowne, Masserene and Olp-
hert properties. The important fact
disclosed is that out of a total num-
Der of 144S evicted farms referred to In
the return. only IS were lying derelict
on the LIST of February last. On the
Clanricarde estate, where the total
number of evicted farms was 252. l6
are still lying derelict. One-half of
the evicted farms on Lord Clanri-
carde's property have been let to new
tenants, and 90 have been re-let to old
tenants. Out of the total 144S farms
enumerated in the returns, 675 have
been re-let to old tenants, while 800

LAW WAS A DEAD LETTER.
City Marshal Had Good Reasons for
Not Enforcino IT.

Not Enforcing 1t.
Il happened to be laid over at
town In the southwest" said the trav-
eler, land as walked about the
streets l noticed dozens of hogs wal
lowing in the mud or sleeping on the
sidewalks. When finally came across
the city marshal, l mentioned this
fact and asked him why the animals
were not restrained.
"'Waal, believe tar is law to do
it, he slowly replied.
"'And why isn't the law enforced?
Its left to me, and l can't skassly
see my way clear

Is the law
"'Yes, but thar's something else.'
II was about to ask him what 1t
was when a dog came along, and
pitched into a hog fresh from roll in
the mud. and the porker uttered a
loud squeal as the sharp teeth nipped
his leg. The squeal had not yet died
away when fifty men, each with gun
houses, saloons and stores and looked
for somebody to shoot.
"'You see,' said the marshal, as the
crowd broke up and scattered, thar S

BACK TO NATURES BREAST.
Reasons for Exodus From Cities in
Summer Time.

Every summer the exodus of the
well-to-do American from the city is
larger and begins earlier. Every year
his return from the country is later
in the season. At the present rate it
is only question of time before he
and his family will come to town for
only a month or two in winter. His
home will be in the country; he will
visit and do business in the city. The
cause of this return to the soil is com
plex and presents number of inter
esting features. One cause is that
every man with red blood in him feels
at intervals the impulse to get back
to natures breast far from the mad
ding crowd" He may never have
heard of the fable of Antaeus, but he
has an instructive feeling that he
gains fresh strength every time he
touches old mother earth. That is his
heritage from primeval man. But
we do not have to go far back; only
a few generations away at most is an
ancestor who helped conquer the
wilderness. So this longing in our
blood.

of the truest graces of life: simplicity
the domestic affections, and the love Of

Professor Brunor makes a startling

He sees in the future man being in
whom strange transformations shall
have taken place; being in whom
brain is master, ruling body much
larger than that of the present man;
a body which has lost its floating ribs,
its vermiform appendix and its little
toes, and in which many other changes
have taken place He believes the

be much larger and that the future
man will be much taller than his proto-
