DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters all over the United
States. A recommend recently received
from a Catholic institution in the South
west reads as follows:
4 Prominent Mother Superior saysi
II can testify from experience to the
efficiency of Peruna as one of the very
best medicines, and it gives me pleasure
to add my praise to that of thousands
who have used it. For years l suffered
with catarrh OF the stomach, all rene
dies proving valueless for relief. Last
spring l went to Colorado, hoping to be
benefited by a change OF climate and
while there a friend advised mo to try
Peruna. After using two bottles | found
myself very much improved. The re-
mains of my old disease being now 80
slight, l consider myself cured, yet for a
while intend to continue the use of
Peruna. l am now treating another
patient with your medicine. She has
been sick with malaria and troubled
with leucorrhoea. ! have not Il doubt
that cure will be speedily effected"

Almost Universally Used.

The tomato has curious history
After the revolution Of San Domingo,
many French families came from there
to Philadelphia, where they introduced
their favorite pomme d amour AL.
though introduced as early as 1891
from South America into England, it
was looked upon with suspicion, and
its specific name, "LycOpersicum, de
rivel from lykos, wolf" and persikon,
''peachy." referring to the beautiful
but deceptive appearance of lis fruit,
intimates pretty clearly the kind OF es.
tlmation In which it was held. 1t Is
now, however, all but universally used.

HOW TO SUSTAIN A POSE.
Models Lessen the Strain by Swayins
Slightly but Constantly.

Models Lessen the Strain by Swaying
Slightly but Constantly.
Professional models, in posing for
artists, appear at first glance to remain
perfectly still. but a closer inspection
of them always shows that they sway
continuously and regularly from side
to side, says the Philadelphia Record.
In discussing this swaying movement
and its advantages model said the
other day:
I'VE sway because, somehow, it rests
US. and because through it we can hold
a pose quite ten times longer than we
could If we kept ourselves rigid and
still. A model, as soon as he strikes
an attitude, begins unconsciously TO
sway. moving in the tempo, as investi-
CATION has shown me, of his heart
beats. Why this swaying helps him
don't know. unless it be that it keeps
his limbs from getting cramped and
from falling asleep. 1t does help him,
though. immensely, and without it he
could not possibly hold n pose for an
hour. a test of endurance to which any
good model is equal.
Posing is very hard work at the best.
You, or any ameteur. would find diff
Guilty in posing for ten minutes in even
the easiest attitude. II you should
make a trial of ii some time you would
conclude that the professional model
is rather underpaid at the rate of 90
cents an hour which prevails"

WATERFALLS AND ELECTRICITY.
Industrial Revolutions Are Caused in
Many States by the Com bination.

Industrial Revolutions Are Caused in
Many States by the Com bination.
The Electrical Review returns to the
topic of utilizing the water powers of
the Piedmont section of the South,
where powers remote from the rail
ways and towns might be converted
into electricity and taken where they
would do the most good. Something
has been done recently to multiply In
dustrial plants, but not enough.
I'm the last ten years." says the Re-
view, 1.-THE entire industrial status OF
Georgia and South Carolina has been
changed by the rapid extension of man
ufacturing industries in those States,
due almost wholly to the utilization OF
water powers and largely to electrical
transmission. The most interesting and
elaborate engineering works for power
transmission have been undertaken in
California and in the other States or
the Pacific slope. where the coast cities
are situated at considerable distance
from the mountains wherein the water
falls are situated. This power has al
ready wrought an industrial miracle in
the regions in which it has been intro
duced. Coal is expensive and scarce
on the Pacific coast, and ready mar
ket was found for all the electrical
power that could be developed, with
the effect that countless industries have
sprung up where none existed before,
and have vitality affected for the better
the productive capacity and general
wealth of the Pacific States"
Such utilization of water powers Is
the great feature of industrial progress
in many countries at the present time,
says the Baltimore Sun. Switzerland,
Scotland, Wales and even India obtain
electricity largely from remote
streams for lighting and manufacture
ing purposes in the cities. Virginia,
West Virginia, and North Carolina
have yet much to do in the utilization
of their water powers.

AS an offset to large loss by fire.
James Ross, colored farmer living
near Blackwood. New Jersey, Is in
clined to rate his dog. Ross house anu
barn were burned. but. says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer, his dog escaped.
The dog was chained to the barn. but
when the heat got unbearable the sa-
gacious animal dug deep hole and
hid himself in it. The post to which
the dog was chained fell over the hole
and protected him. After the ire the
dog was found not even singed.
1t is interesting TO note that other
holes had profed less friendly to hu-
man members of the family. In fact,
the fire was caused by Mr. Ross son
falling through hatchway with a
lighted lantern.
