RUSSIAN AN AWFUL LANGUAGE.
Full Of Jaw-ercaking Words and Diff
ficuit Pronunciatione.

The Russian language to one who
is not familiar with 1t, is worse than
a Chinese puzzle. A young Russian
at present living in Philadelphia went
to the Commercial Museum the other
day to see If any of the newspapers
of his native land were kept on file.
according to the Record of that city.
He stated his wants to an attendant,
who replied, I'VE used to have the
Hobo. but 1t doesn't come any more"
In speaking of the circumstance yes
terday. the young Russian said: II
was rather puzzled to know what the
man meant, for the word hobo is de-
cidedly of American origin, and
knew of no paper the name OF which
was anything like it. Finally 1t
dawned upon me that what he meant
was paper published in st. Peters
burg, called, as near as | can give the
English pronunciation, Novoje Vrem-
va. which means the New Time. In
Russian the first of the two words is
spelled Hoboe. although pronounced
Novoje. And that's why he referred
to the paper as the Hobo"

Arctic Coal,

The Norwegians are turning their
attention to the large and promising
coal fields on the southwest coast of
Spitzbergen. For several years past
their fishermen, while in these coastal
waters. have observed the outcrops of
coal. Their stories aroused interest
at home and the coal fields were ex-
amined as a possible source of profit.
Several companies have been formed
to carry on coal mining in these new
fields and there is much confidence in
Norway that the new Arctic enterprise
will be profitable.

sALLooNING AS A CURE.
French Doctor Says Tonic Effects
Are Astonishing.

DR.. Naugier of Paris, in paper
read at recent meeting of the Aca-
demie de Medicine, made astonishing
claims as to the tonic and blood form
ing effects of balloon ascensions. A
two hours voyage in the air, he de-
clared. causes a marked increase in
the number of the red corpuscles, and
the condition persists for ten days
after an ascension. Five such ascen-
sions in the course of six or seven
weeks, he said. are more beneficial to
an anaemic than sojourn of three
months in the mountains. The good
effect begins to be felt almost i'm
mediately, and heightened stay in
the air is of no value. and in the case
of many is actually detrimental in
causing nervous irritation.
DIR. Naugier urged that the munich
pal council be asked to provide
large balloon. capable of taking to the
upper air daily fifty patients who are
too poor to afford change of eli

NERUNA is q great family medicine.
- The women praise it as well as the
men; it is just the thing for the
many little catarrhal ailments of child
hood.
The following testimonials from
thankful men and women tell in direct,
sincere language what their success has
been in the use of Peruna in their fam
lilies:
Louis j. scherrinsky, 1o3 Locust
street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
81 will tell you briefly what Peruna
has done for me. l took a severe cold
which gave me a hard cough. All doc
tors medicines failed to cure it. l took
one bottle of Peruna and was well.
''Then my two children had bad
coughs accompanied by gagging. My
wife had stomach trouble for years.
She took Peruna and now she is we'll.
~ cannot express my thanks in words,
but l recommend your remedy at every
opportunity, for L can conscientiouhly
say that there is no medicine like Peru
ma. Nearly everyone in this town knew
about tho sickness of myself and fam
lily, and they have seen with astonish
ment what Peruna has done for us.
Many followed our example, and the
result was health. Thanking you
heartily, AMI. J. Sherrinsky.
Mrs. Mamie Wallace, Tulare, Cal,
President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:
81 consider Peruna an indispensable
article in my medicine chest. 1t is
twenty medicines in one, and has SO far
cured every sickness that has been in
my home for five years. consider itof
special value to weakly women, as it
huil1a Nm the peneral health drives ont
disease and keeps you in the best of
health. Mrs. Mamie Wallace.
Peruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, ca
tarrh of the stomach, liver and kidneys.
1t is just as sure to cure n case of catarrh
of the bowels as it is a case of catarrh
Of the head.

Rock Island in Arizons.

A special from Chicago says:
 Gossip is to the effect that the Rock Island is in the market for Sl00,- 100000 with which to build the Fl Paso- Pacific Coast line, and that the present trip will have an important bearing upon the subject. IL comes from well informed men in the south. west, that the Rock Island is back of the Phelps-Dodge syndicate in much of the railroad building the latter is doing in that section.
 "The Phelps Dodge syndicate owns large mining properties in Sonora district and in southwestern Arizona, and is building line from Fl Paso northwest to Phoenix. It is asserted that upon it's scompletio this property will bc turned over to the Rock Island which will then extend west to San Diego or meet line which is now being projected east from San Diego.
 'The new road will tap some of the richest mining territory in the south west and will take the heart out of a great deal of the Southern Pacific ter ritory. In addition te this, it will run through portions of the Gila and Salt River valleys.
 '"The messenger department of the Rock Island is figuring on through train service from Chicago, and there is little doubt that 1t will soon be possible to go to the Pacific coast by way of the Rock Island and Southern Pacific without change of cars"

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
Circular letter to County Boards, Mayors of Cities, Boards Of Trade, Railroad
 and Mining Companies

PHOENIX, ARIz., March ,, 1902 SIRs-The undersigned commission, appointed under the act of the legisla. ture of Arizona, for the collection, ar engagement and display of the products of this territory at the International Exposition to be held in St. Louis in 1903, beg leave to call your attention to this subject, with view to secure your cooperation.
 The amount appropriated $50, ,OO0) is small, and will be inadequate unless earnest effort be put forth by the com. munity in aid thereof. We believe that with such aid much can be done for the benefit Of the territory.
 We suggest that each of you take such action as you may deem best with a view of representing your interests at the exposition.
 The boards of supervisors of each county may see fit to appoint com mittee and afford facilities for the col lection of material as shall best exhib. it the resources of their counties. Cities and boards of trade can do the same, and railway and mining compa- nies can begin the getting together of material to be credited to them.
 In this way we may be prepared to make splendid showing for the terri tory for the benefit of all interests. This preliminary work we commend to you as the commission cannot do it. We shall be kept informed of your work and shall know how tO prepare for the showing you may get ready. We address you this early, and be- fore our board has been organized, in order that you may not delay.
 As soon as congress has ratified and approved the appropriation we will organize and be ready to cooperate with you to the fullest extent possible.
