Thousands of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know it, because
it has been called some other name than
catarrh. The fact is catarrh is catarrh
wherever located; and another fact
which is of equally great Importance, is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.

Cicero and His Daupnter.

History abounds with examples Of
the love that has existed between faith
er and daughter which proved superior
to the changes Of time and fortune,
defying even death itself, and entering
into the records Of humanity, imper-
iShable and immortal
One Of the most beautiful lnstan ces
was the love Of Cicero for Tullia. She
was woman Of high attachments and
exalted character, with qualities Of
teart and mind that peculiarly fitted
her to be her fathers intimate COM
panion.
After her death he could find Meth
er consolation for her loss nor dis
traction for his grief. Affairs Of state,
weighty matters Of political and per-
Sonal interest, even the sympathy Of
Brutus and Caesar, could not dispel
the melancholy that settled down upon
his soul and forced him for time into
retirement. He wrote Of her in these
touching words: "a daughter had
In whose sweet conversation 1 could
drop all my cares and troubles. But
now everything Is changed. It is all
over with me, Atticus. I feel it more
than ever now that have lost the only
being who still bound me to life"

GREAT BLACkFlSH CATCH.
Immense School Left Stranded o.
Shore by the Ebbinc Tide.

ShOre Dy the EDDIng Tide.
One day in November several years
ago the good people living on the Mass
achusetts bay shore at the north end
Of Cape Cod were wrought to the high
est pitch of excitement by the arrival
Of an immense school Of blackfish,
which were ON the flats chasing bait
as the small fish they feed ON are called,
and gradually working inshore. The
news spread like wildfire, says writer
in Outing; village stores were hastily
closed, -schoolboys deserted schoolrooms
and even women focked to the shore
The flats along the coast make OUT
from half to a mile and a half pract
cally level and almost dry at low tidl<
where at high tide is four to eight feez
Of water. No school of blackfish SO
large as this had ever been heard Of.
And by good luck the tide was ebbing.
Hastily the boats were launched,
each taking a half-dozen men and boys,
those now rowing being armed with
sticks and pieces of board. In quar-
ter Of an hour they were in position,
in half-circle and to leeWard of the
fish.
'Close in now," came from the ''com-
modore," "and make all the noise you
camp And they did, fairly churning
the water with boards and sticks. The
thousands of squid and herring on
which the blackfish were feeding as
sisted in this movement by getting into
shoal water as far as possible so that
the blackfish could not follow them.
The result was inevitable; the fast
ebbing tide soon began to leave the big
fish in such shoal water that it was
difficult for the larger ones to swim.
Gradually the circle Of boats grew
nearer and nearer and in two hours
80 per cent. Of the entire school was
stranded on the fats. For weeks after
the villagers were engaged in cutting
up and trying out the oil. The total
catch netted some $25, 1000, many Of
the fish weighing two tons apiece.

Thank Pc-rY-na for Their
Recovery After Years of
Suffering.

Miss Muriel Armitage, SO Green
wood Ave-, Detroit, Mich, District
Organizer Of the Royal Templars OF
Temperance, in a recent letter, says;
II think that a woman naturally
shrinks from making her troubles
public, but restored health has meant
so much to me that l feel for the
Ike OF other suffering women 1t Is
az duty to tell what Peruna has done
or me.
II suffered for five years with
uterine irregularities, which brought
on hysteria and made me a physical
wreck. I tried doctors from the diff
ferent schools of medicine, but with
out any perceptible change in my
condition. In my despair / called on
an old nurse, who advised me to try
Peruna, and promised good results II
I would persist and take it regularly.
I thought this was the least / could
do and procured a bottle. / knew as
soon as l began taking it that 1t was
affecting me differently from any
thing l 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 myself
entirely cured. I am grateful,
happy woman to-day. Miss Muriel
Arlnitage.
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.

ANCIENT QUARRY IN NEBRASKA.
| Was Worked by a Race of People UNI
l lxnoxxr, 20 the GciAra fiafa

Was Worked by a Race of People UNI
known to the Scientists.
IN the great flint quarries near Ne
hawka, Neb., covering more than a
township, party Of weil-known scien-
lists has found what they think is evil
dence If the existence of a lost race,
hitherto unknown. 1t is thought that
this prehistoric people belonged to
neither the red men nor the mound
builders. But who they were and at
what remote age they inhabited the
Missouri valley cannot now be ascer-
tanned.
They were race of patient plodders
whose knowledge and handiwOrk had
not been developed beyond the print
tive ideas Of the stone age. By their
industry it is shown that they were
not Of the nomadic, indolent Indian
race; by their ignorance and crude
handiwork that they were not OF the
refined, almost civilized mound build
ers, the first American aborigines,
whose existence is definitely known.
Then who were they, whence did
they come and by whom were they OBJ
liberated? Aside from the mound build
ers and the latter-day Indians no
American aborigines are known to
scientists, and in these quarries is evil
dence Of strange race.
There are no doubt the quarries are
Of great age. The entire series Of
mines has been buried beneath an av-
erage Of ten feet Of soil. The aecumu-
lation Of this must have taken cen.
turtles. 1t is known positively the con-
dition has not changed at all in 100
years. Then how many centuries did
1t take for this ten feet ofssoil to cover
the whole Of the mines?
To settle the mooted question wheth-
er these quarries, situated on the Ne
hawl1a fruit farm owned by Isaac M.
Pollard, were the work of some artifi-
cial agency OF of nature, an unusually
large party of prominent scientists was
induced by State Archeologist e. e.
Blackman to visit the Quarries. Of the
findings Of the scientists State Archie
Ologist Blackman gave out the follow
ing statement
Mr.. Pollard, when he arranged the
visit to this spot year ago, caused a
cross section to be cut in the brow Of
the hill and laid bare the face Of the
quarry. This excavation Is eighty feet
in length, six feet wide and averages
ten feet in depth. 1t shows that the
artisans removed two layers Of solid
limestone and one of decayed rock be-
fore they came to the strata which
they sought and which contained the
nodules Of flint from which nipple
mentS were made. Tons of flint are
scattered on the surface and in the de-
bris Of the quarry and there are many
rocks showing where the flint nodules
were taken out. On the large pieces
Of limestone in the. quarry pit one may
see fractures, as if they had been
struck with a heavy sledge. The face
Of the quarry as shown by the eXcaya-
ton is perpendicular wall twelve
feet high. The surface indication be-
fore digging was circular or oblong
depression. There is O burr oak tree
standing nearly in the center of the pit
measuring six feet two inches in cir
conference.

work without the greatest exhaustion.
This is very common sight and Ia
almost always due to pelvic catarrh.
1t is worse than foolish for SO many
women to suffer year after year with q
disease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. II
cures old chronic cases as we'll as slight
attack, the only difference being in the
length of time that it should be taken to
effect a cure.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Pretty Christening.

Frequently when vessel is Go be
christened. there is discussion as to
whether wine or water should be used.
1t is an old, old custom, the using of
wine, and there is n strange supersti-
ton that water will bring i'll luck. A
far prettier christening took place the
other day than the breaking of a bottle
of champagne or water. A ball of flow
ers was substituted. and as it touched
the vessel it opened and out few two
pure white doves that circled about the
tiny launch. They finally disappeared
over the bay.
Such a christening seemed especially
appropriate in this instance, for the
boat had been built te7carry little sick
babies from New York across to Staten
Island, where there is home for them.
1t is kept up by st. Johns guild, and
this vessel was given as a present by
gentleman interested in the work. 1t
was christened by his wife, and her
idea was SO prettily conceived that it
would do well as n permanent substi-
tute for the wine or water.-Pittsburg
Dispatch.

A Breath Image.

Take a piece of cardboard and with
a sharp penknife cut some kind of
figure. When it is cut out, lay the
cardboard from which you cut the fig
ure upon a we'll cleaned piece of glass
and breathe on it. Leave the cardboard
resting on the glass until the breath
first blown ON it has evaporated. Then
carefully lift the cardboard and
breathe again over the place where
the figure lay and you will see the i'm
age appear on the glass.
When the breath is blown on the
second time, it covers, besides the fig
ure, a portion of the glass not touched
before, and, since the spot where the
picture stands was twice breathed
upon, it has greater density than the
surrounding portion. Thus the figure
stands out clearly by contrast.

A Great Memory.

Little Samuel Arthur Moser of Chi
cago, who is only eight years old,
shows q wonderful power of memory.
The faculty seems to be natural one,
as his memory has never been cultivat-
ed. The boy has been in the public
schools for two years and prior to that
time spent two years in a kindergarten.
When he was but five years of age, his
playmates noticed his wonderful apti-
tude for figures and dates. He knows
the names of all the presidents, the
dates of their births and deaths and
can add imposing sums by mental
arithmetic. He has at his tongues end
mass of geographical and historical
information and seldom stumbles in an
answer. He is great reader of the
Bible. historical works and the daily
newspapers and often has to be liter
ally driven from reading to his bed.
The boy is in perfect health and spends
much of his time on his bicycle.

Graceful md Incoming.

The new short skirt is so stylish be-
cause of its faring cut and graceful,
generally becoming length that it is
sure to find universal favor for all the
purposes it is intended TO serve. fAll
previous efforts to bring short skirts
into the ultra fashionable fold have
fallen very far short of their mark, but
this season seems to promise greater
success.
Short skirts are box plated and side
plated, the plaits stitched down to the
knee. The lining is fitted closely from
the waist line to this point, from which
it falls in Il shaped flounce below. This
finished with n little plisse frill helps
to accentuate the flare of the skirt.
One important point in the short
skirts is that they should be perfectly
round. clearing the floor at precisely
the same distance all around. Any
dipping down here and there spoils the
style entirely.
1t is this detail of finish, style of cut
and trimming and perfect adjustment
which makes the new short skirt so
superior to the old one and paves the
way for its popularity.

Button. md Trimmings.

The button in its relation to dress is
now more for ornament than use, and
many of the newest buttons are ar
tistic enough to rightly be regarded as
ornaments. As for the laces, they
are used lavishly as trimmings. There
is a revival of the antique altar lace,
and deep bands of it decorate the pale
tinted cloth gowns which are SO much
in fashionable favor just now. Italian
filet lace, both in separate motifs and
bands, is also the mode, and very many
of the laces have their designs traced
in colored silk threads.
A trimming much the vogue used in
combination with n dark cloth gown
consists of a band of velvet with lace
designs appliqued upon it at short
spaces apart and each one of the lace
designs embroidered in silk threads.
Stitched silk bands in graduated
widths trim n number of the imported
black lace gowns, and the effect is I'M
usually smart.

are wholly unknown in fashionable life.
But the chairman of Important commit
tees and their wives are sought and
welcomed as guests by the most exclu-
sive people at the capital, if only on ac-
count of the power of their positions.
They are also invited to state dinners at
the White House, where the small fry
representatives never get chance to
break bread.
In a social way the wife of con-
gresham who has become chairman OF
an important committee occupies
most flattering position The attention
she receives is not usually disinterest-
ed, but is nevertheless pleasing. The
fashionables who entertain may not
have axes to grind, but others in whom
they are interested may have ends to
gain.
Guests flock to her receptions, ana
ultra fashionable danes murmur their
approval of her entertainment. But 1t
is noticeable that these people have
favor to ask from time to time. Iney
suggest that n hint to the influential
husband ON such and such point re-
lating to certain legislation might not
be inappropriate-at all events, would
be very kind if she would consent to
convey it. Adroit flattery is an effective
weapon, and many a bill has been put
through congress by influence thus in
directly used. No longer is the lobby
wide open institution in Washington,
but it continues to exist just the same.
and much that is accomplished is said
to be done through the petticoat me-
dunn.
On the other hand, there are many
congressmen's wives who have ideas oe
their own on legislative subjects and
who as their husbands closest init
mates are able to influence votes in the
house The women were dead set"
against any army canteen, and, 10, that
Institution. against the unanimous wish
of the military authorities, was abol-
ished. The war department is anxious
to have it restored, but in all probabil.
ity the women will prevent it.
Indeed it is mistake to suppose that
women because they do not sit in con-
gress have nothing to do with the legis-
lation It makes.

AFaithfuI Friend.

At Albany, n. Y, there lives black
smith whose particular pet is an. Eng
fish mastiff. One day the blacksmith
was working at his forge putting new
steel in the point of a pick The steel
was slightly burned in the heating, and
instead of welding it flew into half a
dozen pieces. One piece struck the
blacksmith with such force as to fas-
ten itself firmly in above the right eye.
The blacksmith staggered and fell
backward. How long he was uncon-
scious he does not know. but when he
came to he saw the mastiff I'm the mid
die of the shop. The dog was crying al
most like a human being and was rub
bling his jaws in the dust on the floor.
The piece of steel that had struck the
blacksmith was on the floor n few inch
es from the dog. The faithful animal
had seized the hot steel with his teeth
and had drawn it from his masters
forehead. The dogs mouth was badly
burned. AS for the blacksmith, strange
as it may seem, he is in fair way to
recover.

Earning an Education.

One hundred and one of the students
of Columbia university worked at va
rious employments last summer to earn
money with which to continue their
schooling. The total sum earned by
the 1O1 was SIS, 531.95.
There is a committee at Columbia
which aids needy students by helping
them to get employment. Almost moth
ing was refused by these young men,
who had determined some way to get
along. One boy earned $2T9 as a COM
panion to boys. Another made $104
as farm hand. One made $40 and
expenses as an attendant at Il summer
resort, and another earned $175 as an
insurance agent. Almost every kind
of work was represented by these
boys.
