strong nerves, good nerves. Does your

Does your heart futter at times You had

They crowd too much into a single day.

Thousands of cases might be quoted in

foundation of health. The County Audi

w. Nef. in a recent letter written at
Buffalo, New York, stated: II was per-
suaded by a friend to try bottle of your
great nerve tonic, Peruna, and the results

pleased to recommend it"
A Spring Tonic.
Almost everybody needs tonic in the
spring Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain and cleanse the blood.
That Peruna will do this is beyond all
question. Everyone who has tried it has
had the same experience as Mrs. D. w.
Undertake. of Lynchburg, Va, who in
recent letter, made use of the following
words: Il always take dose of Peruna
after business hours, as it is a great thing
for the nerves. There is no better spring
tonic, and have used about all of them. "

REMAINS OF A WONDERFUL DEER

This wonderful little deer, whose
height at the shoulder was five and a
half inches, it has recently been discov-
cred, lived in New York State long be-
fore the recollection of living man, and
probably played in the same woods
that the giant mastodon strode through.
Whether he was the representative of
pigmy race long extinct, or was a
single dwarf, it is impossible to deter
mine, but as he grew to maturity the
former is more likely. The foot and
leg shown In the Illustration were
found in newly plowed field near
Troy, Rensselaer, County.
The epiphyses, or ends of the bones,
are firmly united by osseous tissue to
the shaft, showing that the leg be-
longed to an adult deer and not to an
immature product.
This little fellow could have been
placed without discomfort In a capa-
cious pocket and would have found a
determined chipmunk a formidable foe.

CLEAN CHIMNEYS.
Cheap Means Which Any One Can

USes
The tendency of pipes and furnace
dues to fill with SCOT is so marked that
any suggestion Of a convenient remedy
for that condition is worthy of serious
consideration. A correspondent of the
st. Paul Pioneer Press says that zinc
burned in the furnace Is very effective.
Just throw upon the fire a handful Of
zinc filings, or piece of sheet zinc as
large as your hand, and it clears away
the SCOT as If by magic. Once week
will suffice. Shut the door quickly after
throwing in the zinc. Our informant
says his family has used this method
for forty years, and never had occasion
to employ chimney sweep.
AS the Pioneer Press suggests, this
remedy is not expensive. A worn-out
zinc washboard will furnish enough
Of the metal for six or eight occasions.
And If you have to buy sheet zinc, 25
cents worth may suffice for single
fire all winter. Even when soft coal is
used in hard coal stoves and furnaces
the zinc will keep them open, SO that
those who have been unable to secure
anthracite will not be seriously incon-
venienced by the change.
If this recipe from st. Paul is all that
Is claimed for 1t, the Inconvenience of
using soft coal are reduced to mini
mum, and its cheapness more than COM
pensates for being deprived Of hard
coal. If it will keep the chimneys clean
the cost of chimney sweeps, as well as
the dangers from FIRE by burning out,
are both avoided.-Des Moines Register

Zola's memory of that bitter time
made him very soft-hearted toward
others, and especially to young writer's
who were iii trouble.
Beggars swarmed about him. Every
mail was laden with appeals for mon
ey, which his secretary would weed
out. The applicants who were left
after the process were usually sur
prised at the generosity with which
they were treated. Zola was a quick
reader of character, as shown either
in faces or letters, and it was not easy
to deceive him. But once satisfied that
he ought to give, he gave with liber-
ality and promptness.
He spent time and thought, as well
as money, in his charities. Often he
would take great trouble to unearth
some starving young writer in the
Latin Quarter, and place him on a
journal, the high road to success
Many of the most promising younger
men in France owe their start entirely

THE COUNTRY IN wAsHlNGTON's DAY.

Think, ye fashionable danes of to-day,
of national capital in 1900 in which the
audience room was used by Mrs. Presi-
dent Adams as place for drying clothes.
Congressman lodged wherever a board
could be found. Yellow fever drove the
population of New York and Philadelphia
into the country. Grass grew in the
streets while they were away. The pop
ulation of Ohio was 45, 900. of Tennessee
106, 900, of Kentucky 221, 900. The num-
Der of postof11ces was 903, miles of post
routes q 900 and annual revenues $751;
900.
The acquisition of the Louisiana prlr-
chase and the opening of the immense
domain of the West to the settlers was
about the last act which assured the per-
manency of the republic and left free
the way for the marvellous prosperity fol-
lowing. The sewing machine did not ex-
list, nor the steam road, nor mile of
railroad track, nor grain elevators, ncr
packing establishments, nor electric
lights, nor pneumatic tubes, but the spirit
Of the people was sincere, their courage
unquestioned, their faith in the God of
the republic stern and unrelenting. How
could they fail, led by Washington, by
jefferson, by Madison, by Randolph?
The farm lands under cultivation in
the entire country were less than 10,-
OOO, 900 acres, although that in corn now
exceeds 100000 acres, in oats more
than % 100000 acres, in wheat more
than 100000 acres. The annual wheat
yield at the opening of the century was
less than 100000 bushels; it is now
over 55O,000,000- bushels. The cotton
acreage was about 100000 acres; it is
now 24,OOO.OOO and the annual value of
the product about $3Oo,OOO,OO0.
Schools were few and books scarce. In
fact, such books of value to be had were
those carried away from foreign lands
when emigrants fed to the colonies to es-
cape persecution. Such poetry, prose or
paintings as came forth were poor imi-
tations of foreign standards. Only in
theological documents and state papers
did the thinkers of the United States
take precedence at that time of all 9TH
er nations. It is not a matter of national
boasting, but of world wide credit, freely
given, that the state papers of Washing
ton, Franklin, the Adamses, Hamilton,
Jefferson, Madison, Jay and others con-
tanned pure and vigorous English,
clearness of thought, a mastery of lucid
ity such as no documents of similar char
acter in the old world bore.

Jonathan Edwards commanded for the
same reason profound admiration, as did
as well the oratory of Randolph, Henry
and Fisher Ames. But school facilities
were few and far between, the acconmo
dations most rude. The total value of all
school property in the country in 1900 fell
below $1,5O0,O00; the total school attend
ance was less than 100000, and the
teachers engaged in the work not over
10000. At the present time the enroll
ment in the common schools exceeds 49,.
100000. the average daily attendance
II 100000 and the number of teachers
100000.
