CAUGHT ON To THE JOKE.
Was Not Much PerpIexed by
American Wftticism.

s1Have you ever been naturalized ?"
Eyes; but it didn't take
Now, that Is what we Americans call
joke" explained the Westinghouse to the
brand new secretary of the Chinese legation,
who has indicated his desire to become con-
versan& with the customs of this country.
In spite of the alleged humor, however, he
failed to laugh, and his informant consid-
cred full explanation proper, relates the
Washington Times.
You see" he continued, "the word natu-
rallied has been confused with yaccinate."
The meaning of the two words was then
defined, together with the phrase didn't
take
when we say the vaccination didn't
take, We mean that the virus didn' t have the
desired effect"
With this the Chinamar expressed his ad-
miration for American wit, and a broad
smile overspread his face.
The conversation was continued in a gen.
eral way until the wise resident of Wash
ington suddenly fancied it would be humor-
GUS to relieve himself of a joke at the ex-
pense of the Celestial. With patronizing
air he put q query to the attache in jaw
breaking words, and then laughed at his
own briAiancy.
The secretary stared blandly at him for .
moment, utterly bewildered by the question.
His face was expressionless, but he gave Q
faint smile when the American explained he
had been joking.
"a ioke-yes; but it didn't take" he re-
Piled, with naive smile.

Of mucus is the same as the loss OF
blood. It produces weakness.
Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents
the discharge of mucus. This is why
Peruna is called tonic. Peruna does
not give strength by stimulating the,
nervous system a little.
1t gives strength by preserving the.
mucous membranes against leakage
1t gives strength by converting the
blood fluids and preventing their drain
ing away in mucous discharges.
Constant splitting, and blowing the
nose will finally produce extreme weak
ness from the loss of mucus.

THE SIZE OF AMERICA.
Som ct hing of q Nation, According to
Travelled Irishman's
Description.

Col. Abraham Gruber is the master of
more Irish jokes, it is said, than any other
man in town. In making speech at re-
cent public dinner he told this one, says the
New York Mail and Express:
f3Micky Finnigan, who had been an
Americans citizen for about year and had
Travelled about this continent considerably,
returned home to Hibernia for visit. This
is the way he described his new country to
one of his relatives:
'Phwy, Amer-r-rica is 80 big, begorrs
thot if you wor to drag England Through
the shtates you wouldn't lave a mark in

A Congressman's Letter.

DR.. j. T. Ensor, Postmaster of Colum-

stefan in charge of State Insane Asylum
at Co1umbia, s. c., writes:
t.After using your Peruna myself
for q short period, and my family hsv-

Hon. C. w. Butts, ex-Member of Con-
gress from North Dakota, in 8 letter
from Washington. d. c., says:
ssThat Peruna is not only vigorous,
as well as an effective tonic, but also a
cure of catarrh is beyond controversy.
It is already esta blished by its use by
the thousands who have been benefited
by it. Icannot too highly express my
appreciation of its excellence.-G. w.
Butts.
DIR. B. Robbins. Muslzogee, I. r.,
writes
"Peruna is the best medicine know
of for coughs and to strengthen a weak
stomach and to give appetite. Beside
prescribing it for catarrh, have ordered
it for weak and debilitated people, and
have not had patient but said it helped
him. 1t is an excellent medicine and
it fits so many cases.
"I have a large practice, and have 9
chance to prescribe your Peruna.
hope you may live long to do good te
the sick and suffering"
Only the weak need tonic. People
are never weak except from some good
cause. One of the obscure causes OF
weakness and the one oftenest over
looked is catarrh.
Catarrh inhames the mucous mem
brane and causes the blood plasma tc
escape through the mucous membrane
in the form Of mucous. This discharge

Stripped and Beaten

One of the most sensational wit
nesses before the state asylum in
vestigating committee was Miss leila
Knox, an attendant at the Topeka
asylum. She stated that one of the
ways in which the female patients
were controlled was by a system of
"sprinkling," as she termed it. This
is a species of ''water cure,'' such as
was in vogue in the Philippines. She
also testified that one of the patients,
named Emma Nelson, was stripped
of her. clothing and whipped with a
restraint strap, about the size and
weight of a harness tug.
