THERE is warm inquiry as to what
became of that $500,000 which Congress
voted for the relief of the West Indian
volcano sufferers. There has been nothing
heard of it since it left the United States
Treasury, and there is suspicion that
some gentry in Paris may have thought it
intended for a balm for their sensitive
souls. suffering from the shock of the aw-
full news.

ARBITRATION is pretty good in theory.
and all right for minor questions, but
when the people of this couitry think
they have proper reason for going to war,
they will have as little patience with ar
bitration as they did in 1S6l~with the Con-
stitutional pragmatics.

IT SEEMS impossible to carry out any
reform or improvement without incurring
opposition from some unexpected source.
For nearly two centuries the Dismal
Swamp" of Virginia has been fruitful
theme for poets, painters and writers. II
is now in the way of being abolished
through the drainage OF the canals leading
into the Elizabeth River. The surface OF
Lake Drummond, which covers 15,00e
acres. has been lowered some five feet
within short time, and quite an area OF
Land has become dry enough for cultiya
ton. But this brings damage to lumber
owners and others, and suit has been en-
tered in the United States Courts to- re
strain the canal managers from taking
away any more water. The complaint in
cludes the State of Virginia itself, fo
having granted a charter to the Cana
Company, with unlimited rights as t,
water.

 Miss Mary Meehan, 54 Concord street, Lawrence, Mass, writes:
 "It gives me great pleasure to tell you that to-day am new woman. was troubled with catarrh for twenty years, and tried many kinds of medicine but found no relief. Finally tried Peruna, and after taking one bottle I felt better, and six bottles cured me entirely. Hence forth | shall never be without bottle of Peruna." MISS MARY MEEHAN.
 Mrs. E. T. Gaddis, Marion, N. O., writes:
 GRefore I commenced to take Peruna I could not do any hard work without suffering great pain. took Peruna and Manalin, and can say with pleasure that it has done more for me than any other medicine have ever taken. Now I am as well as ever; I do all my own work and it never hurts me at all. I think Peruna is great medicine for woman kind." MRS. k. T. GADDIS.
 Disguised Catarrh.
 There are great many people who are actually invalids from chronic ca tarrh of some internal organ who have not the slightest suspicion that they are victims of this universal disease.
 This is especially true in cases of chronic catarrh of the organs in the lower part of the abdomen or pelvic organs. These organs are especially liable to catarrh, which gives rise to weakening discharges, painful irregu- larities, backache, bearing-down pains, smarting and throbbing, with host of other symptoms peculiar to weak per sons of both sexes, but occurring much more frequently in women, when it Is called female weakness.
 There are multitude of women, especially housewives, and all other women obliged to be on their feet con tinually, who are wretched beyond de- scription, simply because their strength and vitality is sapped away by catarrhal discharges.
 Peruna is such specific for such cases that when patients have once used it they can never be induced to quit it until they are permanently cured. It begins to relieve the disagreeable symp- toms at once. The backache ceases, the trembling knees are streng thened, the appetite restored, digestion made per feet, the dull headache is stopped and the weakening drains are gradually cured. These results certainly follow a course of treatment with Pernna.
