Electric Treatment.

One of the dreams of medical men is
likely to be realized in the near fu-
ture. Few drugs will be swallowed or
taken into the stomach unless needed
for the direct treatment of that organ
itself. By the medium of electric cur.
rents drugs will be applied to various
organs through the skin and flesh, and
the treatment will be painless.

FOR THE BIG FOLKS
WHO LIKE LITTLE FOLKS.
Tn. Value Of a Mother.

A Chicago man told me about a little
event in his boyhood which seems to
me to be great event in his life.
One day he was playing around the
bench of a carpenter and accidentally
broke the workmans rule.
Not being discovered he quietly
showed the rule to an unnoticed posi-
tion and left the place.
But later he made a copfidant OF his
mother and told her about 1t. She was
able to show him his error and to get
him to purchase a new rule for the
man.
The boy had mother and she had
his confidence and the man had a new
ruie-nothing unusual in this.
Yet the man nearly a half century
later thought 1t worth while to tell
about it and think it worthy of even
more space than | am giving 1t.

Are Small But Strong.

Everyone in, general way knows
of the astonishing muscular power
employed by insects and of the real
tours de force which they execute
either in the pursuit of prey or in de-
Tending themselves against their enc
mics. At the same time one rarely
has a precise idea of the strength of
these insects because there are few
standards of comparison, although
nothing is simpler than to make a cor
rect valuation of their strength.
The wing strength of insects is
known because of the work of Felix
Plateau and De Lucy, who showed
that these little creatures could not
raise a weight much heavier than
themselves, no matter what the sur
face of their wings. During the course
Of these experiments very interest
lag fact was overwhelmingly,
that the size of the wing decreases as
the weight and size of the animal in
creases, a fact which explains the
slow, heavy flight of the beetle and
the swift, light movement of the gnat.
The case is entirely different, how
ever, where the creature moves on a
solid surface where six feet may OBJ

A Farm Paper Twenty Weeks for IL
Cents.

The best general farm and home
weekly published in the Northwest IS
the Farmers Sentinel of Milwaukee,
Wis. It is large twelve-page paper
and handsomely illustrated. che first
half of the paper is devoted entirely to
agricultural matters with departments
on general farm topics, live stock,
dairy, poultry, orchard and garden,
bees and honey, veterinary, farm news,
etc. Two pages are given up to the
women folk with articles on household
topics and illustrated fashions. The
boys and girls have department OF
their own. It also contains each week
number of specially illustrated mag
azine features, besides short and con-
tinued stories. It is the most COM
plete farm and home weekly in the
Northwest. It's regular subscription
price is rs cents year, but to intro
duce the paper into new farm homes
the publishers make special offer
and will send the Farmers Sentinel
every week from now until Jan. l.,
1904, on trial, for only 10 cents. This
is practically twenty weeks for only
10 cents, and every farmer ought to
take advantage of this great trial
offer.

tain points of support. In this case
We can approximately calculate the
force exercised. Take, for example,
A by the wings, leaving the legs
free so that they may seize and raise
match. If man wished to perform
relatively equal labor he would have
to raise beam 24k feet long by 14h
inches square. The earwig harnessed

self. The man who leaps the 300 me-
tiers OF the Eiffel tower is merely re-
peating the action of the flea, which
can leap 200 times it's own height.
Finally the Hercules is obliged to
raise eighty large locomotives to
equal the relative strength of an oys-
ter, which in closing it's valves exer-
cises a force of fifteen Kilograms.
Thus it is a much more simple thing
to calculate the strength of insects
than to equal it and our modern ath-
letes have yet long road to travel
before they can compete with ami
mails occupying very humble positions
in the living world.-Public Opinion.

Ruins to Be Preserved.

The United States has lately taken
steps to preserve the extensive ruins
discovered on the Navajo Indian res.
ervation in the northeastern part of
Arizona.
In these canyons are cliff dwellers'
ruins. varying in size from a single
room perched on some ledge to an
extensive communal building, number
ing as many as seventy-five rooms and
several stories in height. On the can
yon bottoms are most interesting
pueblo ruins. There are more than
200 of both classes and at one time
they must have housed a population
of $4,000 souls. Students of Americas
prehistoric civilization hold that the
Cliff and pueblo jewellers belonged to
the same race and possessed the same
characteristics, dwelling in harmony.
1t is of interest to note that the Indians
who now dwell in the canyon show
a less advanced civilization than it's
prehistoric occupants.
Rev. Henry Mason Baum has made
several visits to the canyons and dis
covered many valuable specimens. In

FISHING FOR CABLES.

The Wonderful Mechanism Used for
Graphing and Hosting.
A truly wonderful piece Of mechan-
ism is the "picking-up" machine used
in all graphing and cable-hoist1ng op-
erations in cable laying.
1t is powerful variety of the steam
winch family. but a most aristocratic
and elaborate member, fitted with gear
changing clutches, patent brakes and
other ingenious appliances.
To give some idea of its capabilities,
1t can at slow speed lift twenty-five
tons at rate of one mile an hour, or,
at a fast speed, ten tons at the rate Of
four miles per hour.
All being made ready, the big grap-
mel, attached to 700 or 800 fathoms of
chain and rope, is passed over a pulley,
and as soon as it reaches the bottom
the ship is sent slowly ahead.
Backward and forward across the
path of the cable, as pointed out by the
friendly marking buoys, the vessel
steams. Several times the grapnel
catches something, only to lose its
hold again-probably an inequality
upon the bottom-but at last comes a
steady strain.
Every soul on board hangs over the
bow, watching the grimy grapnel rope
come steadily up and over the well
oiled pulley. At last the grapnel itself
appears, holding tight onto the truant
cable.-Cassell's Saturday Magazine.

These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

TX. U. S. Senator M. c. Butler from
South Carolina, was Senator from

cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co..
from Washington, D. c., says:
sICan recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for q short
period and 1 feel very much relieved.
1t is indeed wonderful medicine be-
sides q good tonic. IN. C.. Butler:
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial
digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves tho
stomach to perform digestion in natural
way. This is vastly better and safer than
resorting to artificial methods.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies combined,
simply because it cures catarrh wherever
located. If catarrh is located in the head,
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened
itself in the throat or bronchial tubes,
Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes
settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it. q
we'll in this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for dys-
pepsia. Peruna is catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is gen-
orally dependent upon catarrh.
