The only safe course to take is to keep
the blood pure, digestion good, and sleep
regular. No remedy equals, in all re-
spects, Peruna for these purposes. If
the system is run down and weakened
by catarrh, Peruna renovates and re.
juvenates the nerves and brain.

summer will be mailed to any address,
upon request, by the Peruna Medicine

Odd Cure for Deafness.

One of the most singular cures for
deafness over recorded is quoted by
the Independence Beige from the
Dutch papers. An old man of seventy,
living at Krommeme, who had been
deaf for twenty years, got involved in
dispute with some neighbors, and be-
came literally transported with rage.
In this semi-demented state he sud
denly recovered his hearing, which
no has retained ever since.

Bitter Rot Of the Apples.

A word now should be said upon
the common name. Very commonly
the infected flesh of an apple is dis
tinctly bitter to the taste, but there Is
much variation in this. Sometimes
the bitterness is very slight, in other
cases almost equal to quinine. But
such bitterness sometimes results
also from other causes. Other fungi
produce similar taste in the affected
fruit, though those usually attacking
stored apples have no such effect. The
musty flavor due to common molds Is
altogether different. If the word bit
ter is not always characteristic, the
word rot is not especially appropriate.
The affected tissues are never slushy'
soft. There is indeed no extra 40
emulation or incorporation of water.
The spot is hard and firm and at
length becomes sunken somewhat
from the shrinkage of the drying pulp
of the fruit. There is no odor. The
apple seems to be converted into q
semi-woody substance which Is re-
sistent of decay. 1t is in this conHi
ten that the shriveled fruit remains
for a year or more attached by its
dead stem to the twig, or endures for
a similar length of time upon the
ground. If, however, the affected
fruit is neither constantly bitter nor
really rotten, still the name is as ap'
propriate as any that can probably be
found and is. certainly better than
that of ripe rot" which has been pro-
posed.-Prof. T. ]. Burrill.

Bitter rot of the apple is directly
due to a vegetable parasite which,
starting from spore lodged upon the
surface of the apple or in a puncture
made by other instrumentalities
grows in the pulpy tissues Of the
fruit and in a few days bears another
crop of spores, by means of which
the process may be indefinitely re-
peated.

Newspaper Comment.

London, March 24.-Few of the pa pers here comment on the news from Pretoria. These take it for granted that Mr. Schalk-Burger and his com panions are on a mission of peace and again engage in a discussion of possible peace terms, expressing the hope that the overtures will have . successful outcome. The presence oi Lucas Meyer is regarded as signifi- cant, as he is an intimate friend o1 Louis Botha.
 The Daily Chronicle, commenting on the absence of Botha from the delegation, suggests he is standing aside owing to the failure of his over. lures of a year ago, and considers that, although the conditions Lore Kitchener then offered to Botha had been annulled it is highly probable that peace may still be arranged OF similar lines, but that the Boers car not expect more lenient terms.
 The Daily News remarks that 6 settlement would be possible if the Boers were treated like civilized com batants, but men do not surrender unconditionally just after taking one of the enemys generals and four oi his guns"

Washington, March 23.-An inter esting statement concerning the inn proyement in health conditions in Havana since the American occupa tion of Cuba, with special vital statistics for the calendar year 1901, has been made public by the insular division of the war department. Particular attention is paid to the purging of the city of yellow fever. during the past year. by the destruction of in- fected mosquitoes. 1t is of vast inn poftanee, the statement says, that these facts be made known to the world extensively and as rapidly as possible. During the past 4j years, with scarcely an exception, some deaths have occurred from yellow fever in every month of the year, the maximum, 2,05s deaths, taking place in 1857; the minimum. 51 deaths, in 1866, with the average 751. The num- Der of other infectious and conta- gious diseases has been small during the calendar year 1901. There has been very little diphtheria and ty- phoid fever. and the tuberculosis rate is about that of most cities of civil ized countries. A rapid decrease has taken place since American oecupa- ton. A marked decrease in malaria also has occurred since the moquito work began. The statement con- cludes as follows:
 "The army took charge of the health department of Havana when deaths were occurring at the rate of 21.252 per year. It gives it up with deaths occurring at the rate of D. 720 per year. It took charge with smallpox epidemic for years. It gives it up with not single case having occurred in the city for over IS months. It took charge with yellow fever epidemic for two centuries. 1t found Havana feared as thing unelean by all her neighhors of the United States, and quarantined as a danger ous section to touch or even to come near anything that she had touched, to the untold financial loss of both Havana and the United States. It has established the fact that yellow fever is only transmitted by eer- tain species of mosquito, discovery that in it's power for saving human life,is only excelled by Jenner's great discovery, and as time goes on it will stand in the same class as that great boon to mankind,
 "The army has stamped out this disease in its greatest stronghold- there having been only five deaths in the last nine months of the past year and no deaths and no cases during the last three months of the same year; and it has demonstrated sys- tenn by which yellow fever can cer- tainly be controlled without the in- terference to commerce"

THE GOVERNMENT OF CUBA
Goy.-Gen. Wood in Washington Con- suIting With the President
 Over the Transfer.

Washington, March 23.-Gen Wood, military governor of Cuba, has. ar rived here, and is the guest of Presi- dent Roosevelt. The main object of his visit to Washington at this time is to arrange with the president and the secretary of war for the transfer of the active control of affairs in Cuba to the Cuban republic. Soon af- ter his arrival, Gen. Wood went to the war department and had a long talk with Secretary Root regarding the condition of affairs in Cuba. Sub sequently the two officials went to the White House and had confer ence with the president. The prinei- pal arrangements for military evaeu- ation of the island will be made quickly. Gen. Woods plans require that he shall leave here not later than next Tuesday night, on his way back to Havana, to carry into exeeu- ton the programme fixed by the ad- ministration for the formal transfer of government affairs. He will re- turn to Cuba by way eff New York. in order that he may meet and consult fully with President-elect Palma upon the joint programme of action.
 President Palma will be inaugu- rated May 1, and American control in the island will terminate on that date. Owing to the short time inter- yening, and the extent and impor- tanee of the work involved, it will be necessary to act promptly.
