There is a man who fancies he is at
the head of the house. This particu
lar man has several small children
and it pleases him to discourse @
great deal on the training of the
young.
A few days ago he had friends Wis
iting him. His two little sons began
to play about noisily. 1t is one of his
theories that children should obey i'm
plicity, and he wanted his friends to
see how he carried it out in the train
ing of his own family.

Johnny looked up in surprise, ant

Natural Formation which Attract Attsn-
tion by Their B-auty. -T
Among natural formations which
have attracted general attention be-
cause OF their beauty. snow crystals
will well repay a close examination
and nowhere are they to be seen In
more perfect form than in the En-
known as ice flowers. They bud, II
l may so express 1t, with the first
sharp breath of frost. casting their
fragile tendrils into a hundred deli
cate forms wherever suspicion OF
humidity can be transformed into a
glittering jewel. The first effect OF
frost everywhere Is in the form OF an
ice flower, so that these delicate
structures are to be met with at home
under many conditions, and notably
in the beautiful tracings of frost on
the window panes, where, however,
the flower Is not able to achieve indi'
vidual perfection. On tree and bush
the effects are much more satisfactory,
and Ice flowers, beautiful and varied
In form, can be examined at leisure.
But, after all, these give us but a
faint idea OF the beauty and delicacy
of the ice flowers of Engadine, where
the air is clearer and purer, and where
conditions conspire to favor their
growth. Indeed, what strikes the OBJ
server at once is that nature has been
to them a kind and skillful horticul'
turist, displaying their beauties to
the best advantage by charming set
ting of mountain girt lake under calm
and cloudless blue skies. Probably
few persons realize how much OF the
beauty of the surface Of the snow in
the Engadine Is due to the enrichment
of the network Of crystals which
covers 1t.
But a mist for few hours is abso-
lutely necessary to their formation,
and | know few sights more lovely
than this gray curtain first covering
everything, and then gradually dissolv-
ing, leaving landscape glittering
with hoar frost. One of the delights
of the Engadine is to take walk in
the morning, and watch the growth OF
the ice flower. This is always quite
possible when there is suspicion OF
moistness in the air, for then you can
see the icy Notwithstanding, rides

The idea that education Is simply the
amount of knowledge, no matter of
what sort, is evidently not extinct. If
we may judge from the following sin

The latest novelty is the automobile

been done away with and the vehicle

Lost His
Rheumatism
BY the use of a bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil.

SERGEANT JEREMIAH MAHER, of Ard
cath, Royal Irish Constabulary, says: "My
friend, Mr.. Thomas Hand, has been great
sufferer from rheumatism in the back and
joints for the last four years, during which
time he has employed many different
methods of treatment, but obtained no relief
whatever, and for the last two years has
been unable to walk without a stick, and
sometimes two sticks, and was in great pain
constantly. l induced him to procure a
bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, which he applied
with the most astonishing and marvellous
effects. Before he had finished using the
contents of the first bottle he could walk
readily without the aid OF a stick, and after
few applications from the second bottle he
was free from pain, and has been ever since !;
and although fifty years of age and a farmer,
he can walk and work without experiencing
any pain or difficulty whatever"

ID ERUNA is a great family medicine
4 The women praise it as well as the
men; it is just the thing for the many
little catarrhal ailments of childhood.
The following testimonials from thank
full men and women tell in direct. sincere
language what their success has been IN
the use of Peruna in their families:
Louis J. Scherrinsky, l03 Locust street,
Atlantic, Iowa, writes:

dcne for me. | took a severe cold which
gave me hard cough. All doctors medl'
cines failed to cure it. took one bottle
OF Peruna and was we'll
"Then my two children had bad coughs
accompanied by gagging. My wife had
stomach trouble for years. She took Pc
runa and now she ls well.
81 cannot express my thanks in words,
but / recommend your remedy at every
opportunity, for can conscientiously say
that there is no medicine like Peruna.
Nearly every one IN this town knew about
the sickness of myself and family, and
they have seen with astonishment what
Peruna has done for us. Many followed
our example, and the result was health.
Thanking you heartily, l am" - l.. j.
Scherrinsky.
Mrs. Mamie Wallace, Tulere, Cal,
President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:
81 consider Peruna an indispensable ar
ticle 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. l consider it Of special
value to weakly women, as it builds up
the general health, drives out disease and
keeps you in the best of health. Mrs.
Mamie Wallace
Peruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, catarrh
of the stomach, liver and kidneys. 1t is
just as sure to cure a case of catarrh of
the bowels as it is a case of catarrh of the
head.
