ReDister ON the Wrist.

A Vicnnese physician named Dr..
Gaertner has patented an instrument
which tells exactly the rate Of the
pulse while q patient is under the in
fuence of anaesthetics, says the Lon
don Express.
The instrument is fastened OH the
forearm Of the patient, and shows on
a graduated dial the varying strength
OF weakness of the action of the heart
as affected by the narcotic. 1t has
been experimental with at several Of
the leading hospitals in Vienna, and
excites universal admiration.
With the aid oc this instrument it is
hoped that many of the deaths which
take place while the patients are un-
der the influence of araesthetics may
be avoided.

To Build a Ioc Fire.

To build q successful log fac Is nvr
the easiest undertaking and requires
more patience and skill than Is usually
expended upon it. The following sug-
gestions may tighten the task for the
inexperienced: Crush up loosely in the
hands a double sheet Of newspaper.
Let the back log be the largest in the
fireplace and possibly of green WOOD
as this kind takes longer to burn out,
and the draughts and fires are strong
est at the back. Let the log lie lightly
against the wall; if q split log, turn
the inside toward the front.
Three logs are sufficient to start a
fire, two below and one on top. The
ashes from the first two or thMe fires
should be left on the hearth, for this
serves as q good bed for keeping the
embers hot. The wood that is used
should be mixed, green and dry, and

J.. s. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe.ru.na
FOR Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble
Catarrh Of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something
to Produce Artificial 0iges-
ton is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Have Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

EX. U. S. Senator M. G. Butler, from
T. South Carolina, was Senator from that
State for two terms. In recent letter to
The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washing.
ton, D. c., says: .. -..
"I can recommend Perun1 for
dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I
haze been using your medicine for
a short period and L teeL very nsuc's
relieved. 1t ts indeed a ,1onderfut
medicine besides a good tonic. .'---.
II. C. B1itLe:
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures ca.
tarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial
digestion. 1t cures catarrh and leaves the
stomach to perform digestion in a natural
way. This is vastly better and safer than
resorting to artificial methods.
Peruna has cured more cases OF dyspep-
sia than all other remedies combined, sim
DIV because it cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. If catarrh is located in the head.
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened
itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Pc
runa cures it. When catarrh becomes set
tied in the stomach, Peruna cures it, az
we'll in this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for dys-
pepsia. Peruna is q catarrh remedy. Pe-
runa cures dyspepsia because it Is gener.
ally dependent upon catarrh.

Baby's Short Clothes.

In putting the baby into his first
short clothes, it is important to bear
in mind that hitherto his skirts have
not only served the purpose Of pro-
tecting his limbs and abdomen from
cold, but have prevented free move
ment Of his little limbs. With shorter
skirts comes the natural impulse to
use his limbs. and baby becomes quite
a "kicker." Long woolen stockings
now become a necessity. and with
them should be worn comfortable little
shoes of soft, flexible leather. DO not
take the flannels off the baby too soon,
and, when put off, replace them on the
least sign Of chill. Many mothers do
not lay aside thin little shirts and
petticoats of flannel at all during the
SUMMERTIME Commoner.

Volnan's Box Pleated Waist.

WO1nan'B o BOX fiedteu :" aihe'
Box pleated waists are much IN
vogue and bid fair to extend their pop
ularity for many months to come. This
one, designed by May Manton, is made
of embroidered pongee stitched with
corticelli silk, but the design Is suited
to the many washable fabrics as well
as to silks and woods. When greater
elaboration is desired, the collar and
cuffs can be made of embroidery, lace
or plain contrasting material.
The waist consists Of the lining,
which can be used or omitted as pre-
ferred; the fronts and back are closed
at the centre front. Fronts, back and
sleeves are laid in box pleats that are
stitched just a quarter Of an inch
from each edge. Those Of the waist
extend for full length, but those of the
sleeves are left free at the elbows to
form soft and graceful puffs below.
The quantity Of material required for
the medium size is four and quarter

You VIII Never Regret It.

Says the Omaha Church and
Home" there are ten things for which
no one has ever yet been sorry: They
are:
For doing good to all: (.
For speaking evil Of none: ?.
For hearing before judging:
For thinking before speaking;
For holding an angry tongue;
For being kind to the distressed;
For asking pardon for all wrongs'
For being patient toward everybody;
For stopping the ears to tale-bearer;
Bor disbelieving most ill-reports.

A HoIlyhoclS jar.

a new and pleasing bit Of lockwood
pottery has its decoration overlaid with
a "changeable" glaze, which blurs the
outlines of the flowers until you ap-
pear to view them through Scotch
mist. But the beauty Of the design is
only enhanced thereby, as it is in the
blurred sprigs Of flowers you see on
chine pompadour silks. In this case
the red and white hollyhock has been
chosen for decorating 4 dark brown

the flowers is more beautiful than it
would be if they stood out in hard

Boston Has Washing Bees.

The latest fad in Boston is the wash
ing bee. The residents Of neighbor-
hood gather their washing in one big
laundry and wash, dry and iron the
clothes themselves, instead Of depend
ing upon servants or laundries. Several
such parties have been organized for
charitable purposes, and have proved
financial successes. At these affairs
the wash" consists of church or club
linens, draperies and curtains. These
washing bees are taking the place OF
the sewing circle and the supper OF
Boston baked beans.

The influence Of Climate.

Many instances might be cited in
which climate has had a material in
fluence on manufactures. A case in
point is that of anhydrous paper,
which is said to be the best dielectric
for underground cables. This paper
was formerly made almost exclusively
in England, but it has been found that
to get the best results drier climate
is needed, and the paper is now made
in this country ON an extensive scale,
while its making has been discontin-
ued in England.

Practical Te,ppcrance Work.

Some OF the railroad branches OF the y.
M. c. A. are doing some excellent work in
the furthrrance of temperance, viz, in the
cashing of checks for worllmcn on Day day.
In all large cities and other manufacturing
districts workmen are paid in checks in
stead of cash. These checks kave to be
cashed. and for this business saloons cater.
The result is that nearly every workman
feels as il he must take drink as thanks
to the saloonkeeper. The ole drink too cf-
ten leads to a second and third and not
infrequentlv the bulk of the worl! mans
wages is left in the saloon instead Of being
carried home.

FOSTER FOR CONGRESS.

Litchfield Review: The esteemed
Daseel Anchor takes Us to task and
virtually calls us democrat for
espousing the candidacy of COL A. F.
Foster Of this city for congress against
G., B. .Buckmsn whose Indian votes
nominated and elected him year ago.
This gives us the opportunity to re-
mark that five years ago Mr.. Buckman
asked the nomination to the senate
from the republicans of his district.
He was turned down. He then as an
independent secured the endorsement
Of the democratic convention and with
the assistance Of democratic voters was
elected over the republican nominee.
In the face of the above the Anchor,
which is supporting Mr.. Buckman, is
also off color in it's political complex
ion. If our support of Mr.. Foster
against whom no such political crime
can be charged makes us a democr t,
then make the most Of it.
