De,louins and Water.

It is not unusual to near Bedouin upon reaching callp where water is offered him refuse 1t with the re- mark. "I drank only yesterday" On the Bedouins' long marches across dry countries the size of the water skins ia nicely calculated to just outlast the journey. and they rarely allow them selves to break the habit of abstemi- ousness. as this would be sure to make their next water fast all the harder. They are accustomed from infancy to regard water as most precious com modity and use it with religious econ omy. They know every hollow and nook in the mountains where water may be found. Their camels and goats, which they take with them on their marches to supply them with milk and meat. live principally on tile scanty herbage and foliage of the thorny mimosa. Neither men nor ami mals drink more than once in forty eight hours. No wonder they can suD sist where invaders quickly perish.

Rats and Their Food.

The capacity of rats for discovering fresh stores of food is astounding and often leads to those united migratory movements that periodically create alarm and are described as "plagues of rats" These great movements are undoubtedly initiated and personally conducted" by old and experienced rats, the aldermen of the colony, at once proof of highly developed in- telligence and unselfshness. Rats in large centers of industry if not pres ent in commercial plague form, do a great deal of good as consumers of garbage that would otherwise become a perilous nuisance. It is also popular delusion that rat bite is unusually dangerous from this fact of sewer garbage eating. Or the contrary. rats cut as clean as a new lancet.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A Clever Escape.

Prince Louis Napoleon, afterward Na, poleon III., effected his escape from Ham in 1S46 in singular manner. He was imprisoned for his attempts against the French government, made at Boulogne in 1S40. At o'clock one morning the prince, having shaved his mustache and thrown a blouse and workingman's trousers over his own clothes and wearing wooden shoes, quietly walked out of the prison, carry mg q bookshelf over his shoulder to complete his disguise. He was taken to be one of the painters then at work In the prison and was passed by sev- pral persons. A carriage was waiting In the neighborhood, and by o'clock In the afternoon he was at Valenciennes, where he took a train to Brussels. and he arrived in London two days later. Meanwhile in the prison Dr. Conneau, the princes physician, haf placed dummy in the princes bed and told the governor that the prince was confined to his room by illness. This satisfied the governor until o'clock in the evening, when he insisted on seeing the prince and discovered the fraud. By this time, of course, the prince was over the frontier. Dr. Conneau got off with three months of prison. Within thirty-one months Prince Napoleon was the first president of q French republic, sIlDplanting King Louis Philippe, who had abdicated.

work without the greatest exhaustion This is very common sight and is almost always due to pelvic catarrh.
 It is worse than foolish for so many women to suffer year after year with a disease that can be permanently cured.
 Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It cures old chronic cases as well as a slight attack, the only difference being in the length of time that it should be taken to effect a cure.
 If you do not derive prompt and sat isfactory results from the use of Pe>- runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

GRATEFUL, HAPPY WOMEN
Thank Pe-ru-na for Their Recovery After Years of Suffering.

Miss Muriel Armltage, 36 Green wood Ave, Detroit, Mich, District. Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, in recent letter says.
 "I think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles public, but restored health has meant so much for me that 1 feel for the sake of other suffering women 1t is my duty to tell what Peruna has done for me.
 ''I suffered for five years with uterine Irregularities. which brought on hysteria and made me a physical wreck. l tried doctors from the diff ferent schools of medicine, but with out any perceptible change in my condition. In my despair I called on an old nurse, who advised me to try Peruna. and promised good results if l would persist and take 1t regularly. l thought this was the least could do and procured a bottle. I knew as soon as l began taking it that it was affecting me differently from any, thing I had used before, and so kept on taking it. I kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and when I had used fifteen bottles l considered my self entirely cured. l am a grateful. happy woman today. Miss MurleI Armitage.
 Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic organs with the same surety as it cures catarrh of the head Peruna has become renowned as a positive cure for female ailments simply be- cause the ailments are mostly due to catarrh. Catarrh is the cause of the trouble. Peruna cures the ca tarrh. The symptoms disappear

Foolish Fear of the opal.

Many people to this day have a su- perstitious dread of wearing opals, be- cause they really believe i'll luck is at tached to this beautiful stone. Three centuries ago the opal was an exceed lngly fashionable gem, and the Italian goldsmiths particularly favored its use for their most exquisite settings.
 The opal was at the height of its pop ularity when the plague broke out in Venice. Some especially observant in- dividual discovered that when plague stricken sufferer was at the point of death the opal. if he wore one, would grow brighter. and after his death it would grow dull. The reason for this appears to have been that the burning fever warmed the stone and that after death the damp and chill of the body dulled it. But many deduced from this a belief that 1t was the opal that had brought death and misfortune, and with the spread of this superstition the opal declined in popular favor.
 Many persons would on no account whatever even accept one as gift, much less wear what they foolishly deem the unlucky opal.-New York Press.
