The rocks at the west coast of the
island OF st. Helena abound with sea
turtles, some Of them as heavy as a
man, and an English steamer once took
aboard several dozen of those sea mon
sters, intending to deliver them alive
to provision dealer in Liverpool.
But before they reached English wa
tiers one of the turtles was taken sick
and was flung overheard after having
been branded with the name of the
ship. Next year the same steamer

JURORS FINED
BY MIMIC COURT

The official reporter of the county
Jail kangaroo court sends The Argus
the following concerning a visit yes
terday from the grand jury:
The grand jurors, after entering
the Jail yesterday, with Sheriff Heider
as escort. on their annual duty of in
speeding the Jail, found themselves in
a rather peculiar predicament by be-
ing confronted by the sheriff of the
kangaroo court and placed under ar
ret On the charge of breaking into
Jail without permission of the in

judge of the court and all entered Il
plea of guilty. After paying the inn

did, they were allowed to pass out
one by one and the treasurer of the
court thereby received 1894, which
goes to the regular tobacco fund.
The inmates of the Jail were very hap

THREE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

Thousands of women suffer from sys-
temic catarrh. This is sure to produce
such symptoms as cold feet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation of the heart
and heavy feelings in the stomach.
Then begins a series of experiments.
They take medicine for sick headache.
They take medicine for nervous prostra-
ton, for palpitation of the heart, for
dyspepsia. None of these medicines do
any good because they do not reach the
cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-
tenn, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
is removed.
This is exactly what Pe-una will do.

This is easier said than done, yet it
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something
over which you have no control it is
obvious that worrying will not help
the matter in the least. On the other

only to act. When you have cold
