THE day was when men OF prominence
L hesitated to give their testimonials
to proprietary medicines for publication.
This remains true to-day of most proprie-
tary medicines. But Peruna has become
so Justly famous, its merits are known to
so many people Of high and low stations,
that no one hesitates to see his name IN
print recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong Endorsement. Men
representing all classes and stations are
equally represented.
A dignitied representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev. i.
G.. Smith does not hesitate to state pub.
licly that he has used Peruna in his family
and found it cured when other remedies
failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith
is supported by an elder in his church.
Rev. f. G. Smith, pastor OF the Presby-
terian church of Greensboro, Ca, writes:
Having used Peruna in my family! for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify to
its true worth.
"Aly little boy, seven years of age, had
been suffering for some time with catarrh
of the lower bowels. Other remedies had
failed, but after taking two bottles of Pc
runa the trouble almost entirely disap-
peared. For this special malady con-
slider it well nigh specific.

THE SECRET OF SOARING.
A Naturalist Claims to Have Discov.

a Naturalist claims TO have DlSCcV'
cred It at Last.
The power of the condor, the hawk,
the vulture and some other birds, to
soar without single motion of the
wings for hours at a time has never
been satisfactorily explained An
English naturalist, Mr.. ]. Lancaster,

ing the subject for Is years without
arriving at d conclusion; when the
killing Of a yellow tailed hawk on
the Flat Top Mountains of Colorado
gave him the solution. A furious for
est fire had been raging in that region
---and had filled the air with smoke and
ashes. While he was examining the
hawks feathers he noticed a Pc
culiar stain on the sides Of the quill
between the spicules.
Examination with a powerful Micro
scope showed that the stain extended
along each spicule between the plates.
The downy filaments filling the
double wall-structure of the wings had
the same discoloration. He scraped
off the stain, and found that it re-
sembled SCOT from a stove-pipe, which
showed that the smoke-flled air had
been going through the wings in an in.
eessant stream; carrying the carbon

Here was the secret Of soaring re-

engine consisting of a quill and two
yanes. made OF spicules, between
which are the plates The spicules
make a channel about one-fortieth OF
an inch in width, and the plates cross
1t. There are about one thousand
of them to the inch, and they are To-
Gated at the outer surface, filling
about one.fifth part of the depth OF
the channel. About nineteen-tWen-
tieths of the space of the channels IS
open to the passage of air.
The mechanical service Of the
plates, he says, is obvious. The
curve impinges against the air-cur-
rent through the feathers and drives
the bird to the front. Pressure pro-
duced by the normal factor OF weight
Is thus made to serve as the motive

THE UNDERGROUND MOISTURE.
The Water Table Has Been Brought
Nearer the Surface.

One of the interesting developments
which of late years have been at
tracting considerable attention in con-
nection with irrigation is the charge
in the underground water level of
irrigated districts Within the last
few months the United States Geologi.
cal Survey has issued in It's series of
Water Supply and Irrigation Papers
a report of J. B. Lippincott, resident
photographer by the Survey for Cali
fornia, on the water storage possi-
bilities on Kings River, which con-
tains interesting information regard
ing the underground water conditions
found in the irrigated portion OF the
Kings River Valley near Fresno.
The height of the ground water or
the water table," is the distance be-
meath the surface at which the soil
is found to be saturated with mois-
ture. In the Fresno district the strik-
ing fact has developed that, while
previous to the practice of irrigation
there in 1870 the water table stood
at 60 feet below the surface, at the
present time it is found at from 10
to Is feet, and in places even from
4 to 6 feet So high has the water
risen in certain sections that some OF
the cellars near Fresno were flooded
and had to be abandoned, and tie
ground water at present stands SO
near the surface that roots of alfa-
ia, vines and trees readily penetrate
it and soils are kept continually
moist. Surface wetting has become
unnecessary in many sections.
This condition of saturation repre-
sents the use of an immense amount
of water in irrigation. The total
quantity of water brought to the vi
cinity Of Fresno, as indicated by the
report, during the seventeen years
between 1879 and 1896 would, at
very low estimate, have covered the
$4,000 acres, to whose surface water
is applied in irrigation, to an aver
age depth of AZ feet per annum, or
to a total depth of rs feet. Some
of this water has, OF course, been
consumed In sustaining plant life;
more has been evaporated; but the
most of it still permeates the subsoils
of the irrigated region and Of the ad;
joining lands.
The abundance OF underground
water has been widely taken advant-
age Of by the inhabitants Of the
region, and over $50 wells have been
sunk, whose individual capacity
varies from small discharge to over
a million gallons. These wells are
used largely for domestic purposes
and for stock, but they are also en-
ployed for irrigation, street sprinkling
and city supply. One Of the largest
pumping plants draws water from
well 600 feet deep, driven in city
lot so by 15O feet, for the supply of
city of 10000 inhabitants.

Gar1ands for the Hair.


The hair is still raised in front la
Pompadour, slightly waved, and if the
forehead be very high, it may be re-
leiysd by a few curls on the brow;
while on the back of the head the re-
mainder of the hair is massed loosely
in light chignon or turned up in a
catogan, in that careless manner that
is, after all, the most dihcult to
achieve without untidiness.
Wreaths Of real flowers were much
worn in the hair in Paris during the
last days Of the season. Of course,
the idea Of wreath of natural bios
SONS is old enough, but it is long since
it has been used. However, the fluffy
lcoseness of the hair dressed at the
back of the head, not too low down,
with the high pompadour in front,
seems exactly made for the floral
wreath to come between.
Natural leaves have been chosen in
many cases; they are carefully wired
in order that they may take the prop
er garland shape, surrounding the
loose coils at the back and rising we'll
on the top of the head. Lilies-of-the-
valley, with their long leaves, make
a most successful wreath arranged
round the loose chignon in this man
ner; the foliage is the.most important
portion of the adornment, few white
bells just giving suggestion of color.
Real violets and leaves can also be
favorably used, and pink or scarlet
geraniums with variegated foliage
come out pleasingly.

"Hatless Girl" in Town.

1.-THE dean of Chicago university
has pronounced against the 'hatiess
girl, said q woman at the seashore.
SIT is exceedingly difficult to see just
where the summer. maiden yexes pro-
priety by her pleasant habit of going
hatless on a warm evening, or why,
when she carries parasol, or travels
along country lanes or village streets
in covered phaeton on summers
day, it is also necessary to burden her
head with a hat, Custom is a curious
thing. A woman Is urgently besought
to remove her hat in the theatre, and
reyiled for not doing so; and she may
go to balls with a wisp of lace over
her coiffure, or sit hatless in her own
yard. But the air of the street sud-
denly renders the hatless girl improp-
er. No women in the world have
been so chained to the hat as those Of
America. Women of the southern
races have always been independent
of a head covering when they chose,
and summer heat throughout the
United States, though not as long con-
tinued, is as torrid as in countries
nearer the equator. Furthermore, no
hat is prettier- than a pretty head Of
hair, and nothing improves the latter
more than sun and air.-New York
Tribune.

Tho Care or the Nails.

: A young woman who has been liv-
ing in Paris for a year says that no
French manicure who treated her
hands used a cuticle knife about her
nails or steel nail-cleaner. The little
orange-wood sticks sharpened to a
broad point were used to push back
the encroaching cuticle, and to clean
the nails after each washing of the
hands In this way the delicate en-
amel of the nail Is not injured, and
the under surface Of the rail point Is
kept smooth. The French manicures,
too, polish more often with a bit OF
chamois rather than a regular pol
Usher, and cut the nails with a clipper
instead of curved scissors. These clip
pers come in pairs, one for cutting
the nails of each hand. Emery boards
or velvet file is recommended for the
little filing needed to shape the nails.
Never cut the cuticle around the nail,
but press back lightly with the orange
wood stick. Daily brief care when the
nail is soft from the use of soap and
water is all that is needed to keep
the hands in good condition with a
weekly manicuring. Use lemon juice
instead of any other acid to remove
,stains-Harper's Bazar.

Hot Weather Cleaning.

For the bot weather cleaning, when
all unnecessary eXertion should be
avoided, quick and easy methods OF
keeping the summer cottage in order
are in demand by The practical house:
wife.
Use whiting or ammonia in the
water for washing windows instead
Of using soap.
If the preserving kettle is stained af-.
ter putting up the berries, and wash
ing does not remove the brown streaks
use the kettle for boiling potatoes in
their jackets.
Lemon and salt will remove stains
from the fingers after peeling potatoes
or working in the garden.
To keep tinware bright and shining
polish with newspapers occasionally.
When frequently used, the tin will re-
quire no polish beyond that given by
the daily washing and drying.
1t is we'll to remember that hot
water will set grease stains in cloth
ing. If grease is spilled upon aprons
or the white goods of the summer sew.
ing become spotted with sewing ma
chine oil in the making wash out the
spots with cold water before putting
into the hot suds.
Blood stains are also quickly re;
moved by soaking and washing in cold
water before using not water or soap;
Summer heat and dampness will
quickly cause mildew at this season,
and it is difficult TO remove it from
clothing. The best plan is to use a
weak solution of chloride Of lime
about a teaspoonful of lime to a quart
Of water.
To clean brass bird cages, wash in
cold suds and sprinkle with whiting,
then dry and polish with dry flannel
and chamois.
To remove white stains and spots
from furniture rub them with spirits
OF camphor, then with flannel wet
with linseeG oil, and finally with dry
flannel.

BIRDS ARE BEE.EATERS.
They Only Consume stinsIess Drones
-Worklno Bees Are Safe,

A gardener complains to me about
the loss he sustains owing to the fond
ness of the pretty little bluetit for
bees. YOU'D never believe the lot
that little chap snaps up, right OH
the board in front of the hive" Tne
spotted flycatcher, a charming sum-
ner migrant, whose pretty nesting
and feeding habits 1 have watched
with great interest, and whom l have
found to be very confiding bird
and one true to his old nesting places,
has also been most unjustly libeled
and prosecuted for the same reason.
The fact is both these birds do
take bees, but if the complainants
followed up the matter they would
find that the birds dare not take
worker bee, because OF its sting, and
they only devour the stingless drones
which are being turned out of the
hive, or are destroyed by the work
ing bees as no longer necessary TO
the economy Of the hive, just at the
time when fycatchers are wanting
these fat drones to feed, their young
with. The swarming season is then
over. Instead. Of destroying the use
full insects the birds are actually
helping the workers. And SO they are
the best friends of the beekeeper.
The error Of attributing the destruc.
ton Of working bees to the action of
birds is very old one. In the fourth
George, Virgil writes to the fol.
lowing effect: "The bloody-breasted
swallow bears away in her beak the
bees while Oh the wing, sweet morsels
for her merciless young" A writer
in an old number of the Beekeeper's
Journal says: 81 saw a swallow fy

Tho Electric Lamp.

The electric lamp has kept pace
with the development along artistic
lines that is apparent in all branches
OF household fitments. The incandes-
cent lamp is now admitted to the din
ing table, although until recently the
incandescent burner was thought to
shed too pitiless glare to be desir-
able for dining table illumination. The
glare has been ingeniously softened,
and at a recent dinner the electric
lamp, which occupied the centre OF
the table was the most effective decor
alton that could be imagined. The
pedestal and supporting column were
of silver gilt, around which were
grouped charming female figures in
Flench bisque. The incandescent
burners were shaded by glass globes

Of pearls in rose-white tint, and the
light shone through with softened
glow that was delightful.-Brooklyn

G,osses for the Table.

Nowadays the fashion is ID serve a
different type of glass with each
course at dinner, and thereby display
the varying beauties of shape, coloring
and engraving of ones lavish store.
Some hostesses, who do not go quite
to these lengths, have adopted differ
ent sets of glass to match their various
sets of china, and new and fashion,
able painted glass tor dinner parties
has come recently into use.
The crystal is very bright and thin,
and adorned with a green. red or blue
band at the edge CT the bowl and on
the edge of the foot, and the owners
initial and some heraldic device are
tainted on the side Of every piece.
This is highly ornamented, but care
must be taken not to use red-banded
glass with blue china service, else
there will be anarchy in the carefully
elaborated decoration of the table.
Furthermore, 1t is not considered
tasteful, to say the least, to use one
set Of glass straight through a meal
