Comment. on Rhubarb.

Rhubarb is one of the first plants OF
the garden to come into use in the
spring, and the stalks make an excel
lent sauce at a time when apples of
the year have become scarce and out
of season. It is very easily propa-
gated, and only q few plants are re-
ouired to furnish a supply for FAM
lily. A piece Of root separated from an
existing plant is quite sure to grow
where planted. either in the fall or
spring, and this is the best plan for
multiplying the number Of plants.
Early growth may be forced in q
greenhouse or cellar. but a less trou-
.blesome way is TO surround each plant
with fermenting stable manure, q part
Of which may be yaked off when the
ground grows warm and a part remain
as q fertilizer.

U. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
catarrh Of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia. Something to
Produce Artificial Digestion
is Generally Taken.
Hence. pepsin. pancreatin and a Host
OF Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat
Of the Difficulty, Which is
Really Catarrh.

Tx. U. S. Senator M. G. Butler from
IL South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In a re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, d. c., says:
"Ican recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. Ihave
been using your medicine for q short
period and I feel very much relieved.
1t IS indeed q wonderful medicine be-
sides a good tonic. "---M. G. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna.
cures catarrl. Peruna does O tproduce
artificial digestion. Itcures catarrh and
leavesthe stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastlyebetter
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. Ifcatarrhislocated
in the head, Peruna curesit. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchialtubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settledin the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as we'll in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

soda solution. Next I sprinkled the
ground around the plants quite liber-
ally with sulphur and then gave them
plenty OF tobacco dust. The growth
mas been astonishing. I find that The
tobacco dust goes into the ground
quite rapidly, which is all right, but
the sulphur for the most part at least
stays on the surface. Both seem dis
tasteful to the beetles, and the two
seem to work nicely together, with re-
suit that the beetles disappear. and
are giving me very little trouble. AS
long as this works SO well I shall stick

ment worked we'll with the early GU
cumbers. At first the beetles disputed
my right to any portion of the pro-
ceeds, but of late they seem to view
things in another light, and have
vacated the premises. I consider rapid
and vigorous growth one of the surest
~preventives against their ravages. The
nitrate Of soda gives this, and as I
think, is a valuable aid in keeping
them in check. It's use on beans has
always brought the best of results
with me. but wherever practicable I
always prefer the solution to the
crystal form. OF course broadcasting
is the only practical method of ap-
plication upon large areas, but it can
be very successfully applied with tbn
sprayer even in field use. With pres
ent experience, and I have used it
considerably here and there, I vote

way to give them some protecting
support than by driving a little stake
in each hill and tying the canes to it.
My red raspberries are supported by a
line of Stats on each side, the two lines
being about q foot apart and three
feet high. The raspberry and black
berry bushes on the New York ex-
pertinent station grounds r nicely
supported by a still simpler and cheap
er device. A stout stake is driver
firmly into the ground at the end of
each of the rather short rows, and
provided with a strong cross-arm, say
about two feet from the ground. A
stout wire is then stretched from arm
to arm on each side, and it Seems to
hold the bushes up very well.-Farm

JAPANESE sOLD1ERY.
Are sober, orderly and Devote Their
whole Time and Attention
to Training.

Japanese soldiers of all ranks appear
v to be unmindful for an instant of
the service in which they are engaged.
They do not dissipate, the little recrea-
ton that they give themselves is quiet
and innocent, and they keep their eyes,
and doubtless their minds, on the bust
ness. says the Pittsburg Post.
When the military scheme now in
process of development is completed,
there will be 100000 men under the age
Of 40 a trained for military service,
divided equally among troops with the
colors and men enrolled respectively in
the first and second reserves. This takes
no account of the masses with military
training who may have passed the age
Of 40, nor Of IN element quite as eager
and promising under the age OF 20years.
Company drill has been imposed in the
government schools, and many Of the
private schools have adopted It. All

ACCORDING TO cABBY
The Trips of Woman Philanthropist
Must BE Arranged with

a Brooklyn woman whose philanthropic
efforts are mainly. directed toward making
life happier and better for the little folks
Of the crowded sections Of the borough tells
2 good story on herself; says the Eagle, of
that city. As her field Of endeavor is
not confined to one section of that bor-
ough, she generally travels around from
settlement to mission or recreation ground
in a cab. One day she was on her way to a
gathering of her proteges when she espied
q masculine acquaintance who had, on a pre-
vious occasion, manifested some interest in
her work, and invited him to accompany
her. He accepted, and they travelled down
lanes and through byways heretofore un-
known to him. In one of the narrowest and
most crowded streets in a downtown guar.
ter the fair philanthropist stopped to pay
a visit. When she entered the cab again the
>man said:
you have an arrangement with the Deity
as we'll as the cabman when you come on
one Of these expeditions, haven't you?"
What do You mean?' was the ~astonished
reply.
We'll, our cab driver says that only the
Lord knows where you good ladies are going
when you start on trips Of this sort"

Bride Presents a Shirt.

The Scandinavian bridegroom pre-
sents to his betrothed prayer book
and many other gifts, which usually
include a goose. She, in turn, gives
him, especially in Sweden, a shirt, and
this he invariably wears on his we'd
ding day. Afterward he puts it away,
and in no circumstances will he wear
it again while alive. But he wears it
in his grave, and there are Swedes
who earnestly believe not only in the
resurrection of the body, but in the
veritable resurrection of the betrothal
shirts of such hus bands as have never
broken any. of their marriage vows.
The Swedish widower Gust destroy on
the eve of his secone marriage the
bridal shirt which his drst wife gave
