In every country of the civilized world Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they minister to the spiritual and intellectual needs of the charges com mitted to their care, but they also minister to their bodily needs.
 With so many children to take care of and to protect from climate and disease, these wise and prudent Sisters have found Peruna never failing safeguard.
 Dr. Hartmann receives many letters from Catholic Sisters from all over the United States. A recommend recently received from Catholic institution in Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
 Dr. s. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
 Dear Sir:5- "The young girl who used the Peruna was suffering from IaryHgi- fis, and loss of voice. The result Of fhe treatment was most satisfactory. She found great relief, and after further use of fhe medicine we hope 10 be able to say she Is entirely cured. " Sisters of Charity.
 The young girl was under the care of the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for catarrh of the throat with good re- suits as the above letter testifes.

"The Proof of the Pudding Lies In the
 EnfinR.V

The doctors are dumbfounded, the drug eists astonished, and the people excited and joyful over the wonderful cures and tremen- dous sales of the great Remedy, St. Jacobs Oil. Every case of Rheumatism-some of many years standing-has given way to this powerful remedy. Thousands of certificates like the following can be furnished as to its value:-
 George Scleyer, Publisher of the Chiffon, Wis, "Volksbote," used St. Jacobs Oil for almost unbearable pains in the back, which had completely prostrated him." A few ap- plications cured him entirely
 Mrs. Fred Eberle, Bellaire, O., was for a long time severely troubled with Rheuma- tism. St. Jacobs Oil instantly relieved and entirely cure her.
 Rev. Dr. B. Pick, of Rochester, N. Y, suf- fered so intensely from Rheumatic pains that he was unable to preach Several applica- tions from bottle of St. Jacobs Oil "re- lieved him."
 F. Radder, Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Two applications of St. Jacobs Oil cured me of great and long-continued pain in my foot"
 Messrs c. L. Brundage and Son, Drug gists, Muskegon, Mich, write:-"St. Ja- cobs Oil has a wonderful sale. We sold eight bottles at retail yesterday. This will give, you some idea of how well it is liked in this section"
 MT. Louis Hinkel, of East Poesten, Kill, N. Y, says:-"I cali St. Jacobs Oil the best liniment I ever used. It cured me of Rheu- matism and pain in the back"
 Herman Rittner, Manchester, N. H. "I have tried St. Jacobs Oil, and found it ex- cellent. All those who have purchased it speak of it as simply incomparable.'
 Geo. c. Erffle, Palestine, Ill.:--I was in bed suffering from a swollen leg, used St.. Jacobs Oil, its effect was wonderful. The following day I attended to my business again"
 Dr. Otto Fuls, Reading, o.. writes:-"The sale of St. Jacobs Oil is constantly increas- ing; it is praised by everybody, and never fails to give entire satisfaction"

PREHISTORIC MAN.
Relics of the Handicraft of Past Age
 Found in Burmah

To the Zoologist R. c. J. Swinhoe contributes some important notes on prehistoric man in Burmah, says Ma ture. It will be remembered that in 1894 Dr. F. Noetling announced in the records of the geological survey of India the discovery in bed of fer ruglnous conglomerate at the oil fields of ' 4enangyoung of worked fints in association with the remains of Hipparion antilopinus and Rhinoce- ros perimensis, thus carrying back the existence of man in that country to the older Pliocene or upper Mic cene, A year later R. D. Oldham ex- pressed the opinion that, in the first place, the fiints are not confined to the ferruginous conglomerate; and, secondly, that they are not, clipped by man. AS the result of a recent wis it to the locality Mr. Swinhoe con- firms Dr. Noetling's view that the clipped flints, and likewise certain facetted bones, are the works of mems hands; but, on the other hand, he regards them as of palaeolithic age, the place where they were found being apparently workshop of that period.

CONVINCING PROOF.

Case No. 41,206.-Capt. Alfred q Rigler of Hose Company No. Con ton, Ohio, says: q had weak boo1. ever since I was boy, and about si~ years ago the cause dev@9ped into rather bad case of kidney complaint It was not little backache now and then but backache which caused actnol suffering day and night, and the harder I tried to get rid of it the worse # became.
 "When the attacks were in the acuta stage it was difficult to sit down. and when down it was just as hard to re- gain an erect position, on account O., the twinges of pain in the kidneys. I can only describe some of the panga as similar to that received from a knife thrust.
 ''In time, distressing and terribly in- convenient urinary weakness resulted. causing annoying embarrassment dur ing the day and loss of sleep during the night.
 "I took everything which came tony notice from reading, from observa- tion, and which my friends and ac- quaintances advised. consulted physicians, but none of them were able to relieve the trouble, let alone stop it.
 "It became so well known that had a pronounced case of kidney com plaint that I often received circulars from medical companies offering to cure me, and one day eighteen letters were handed to me by the mail car- rier.
 'When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted my attention I wanted to try them, just as I had tried everything else, and Mrs. Rigler went to Durban & Wright Co.'s drug store for box. Relief fol lowed. I knew after a dose or two that the medicine was acting directly on the kidneys from the altered con- dition of the kidney secretions, and, encouraged, continued the treat ment. Finally, the backache and other complications stopped.
 "Let me sum up my opinion about Doan's Kidney Pills by saying, would willingly pay one months wages for box of them if I could not buy them for less. You can refer anyone to me about Doan's Kidney Pills and I will convince them that they act just as represented"

Four Years After.

"Lapse of time has strengthened my appreciation of Doan's Kidney Pills. l gave this remedy my unquali- fled endorsement in the summer of 1896, because of the results I obtained from a course of the treatment. I can now add to my original endorse ment the experience of a number of others who are just as enthusiastic, when they express their opinion of Deans Kidney Pills, as l."

THE HORSE IN THE ARMY.
Why Bicycles and Automobiles Will
 Never Supsrseds Him.


 Military experts seem disposed to
 run new things into the ground.
 When the bicycle came out it was proposed to organize bicycle regi- ments. Of course, it would be a good thing to have wheels at hand in cer- tain emergencies, but tEe wheel would be practically of no use to an army conducting operations Ill any ordinary country. It c.uld not be made use of on a march nor in action With roads filled with nov ing columns of men and teams it would be impossible for wheelmen to get along. If all were mounted on wheels they would simply pile up. In an emergency it would be possible to send small force quickly from one point to another if there were good road, but even then the horse would be much better. In action nothing could be done with the wheel, be- cause the machine could not be taken over any ground where a battle would be fought.
 Now the experts, says the Boise (1daho) Statesman, are experiment. ing with the automobile. Some of the Europeans have an idea that something wonderful can be done with the new machine in a military way. It is even proposed to utilize it for making charges. It would in- deed be formidable front that would be presented if line of the machines could be sent against an enemy, but where could a piece of ground be found over which they could charge? They would be more dangerous to their occupants than to the foe. Be- fore they had gone half mile they would be heaped up in ditches or tan- gled up with fences, and in the wrecks the occupants would be put out of action.
 The auto might be useful in send ing flying column to given point, for it has greater speed than the horse A thousand machines could take large force a long distance in a very short time, but in practice the speed of such a column could not be much greater than that of a cavalry troop. There would be enough breakdowns to block the road, and probably they would pile up in fine style. The horse does not pile up. He seldom falls, and if he does the others get around or over him and the column goes on. Ten thousand men mounted could probably be moved 20 miles as quickly as in auto mobiles.
 Indeed, it will be difficult to get any machine to supplant the horse in of large bodies of men over all kinds of country. Such movements require something in the nature of instinct on the part of the motive power. It must be able to jump fences, avoid mudholes and dodge trees. It needs the horse sense of the horse to meet the requirements of movements of that kind, and the horse will remain master of the field, though the occupation is one from which he would no doubt prefer to be relieved in favor of his horseless rival that has no nerves to resnond to bull
