 Peruna is such perfect specific for each case that when patients have once used it they can never be induced toquit it until they are permanently cured. It begins to relieve the disagreeable symptoms at once. The baekache ceases, the trembling knees are strengthened, the appetite restored, the digestion made perfect, the dull headache is stopped and the weaken ing drains are gradually cured. These results certainly follow course of treatment with Peruna.
 Barbara Alberty, corner Seventh ana Walnut streets, Appleton, Wis, writes as follows in regard to Peruna:
 For years have suffered with back ache and severe pains in the side. I doctored so much that l became dis couraged.e A school friend told me how very much Peruna had benefited her and I sent out for a bottle, which did more to relieve me than all the other

THE WHITE HILLS.

The proposal to make n national forest re-
serve of the chief part of the White Mountains
is that must arouse widespread interest.
There may be some difference of opinion con-
cerning the national part of it. Some will say
it is as incumbent upon the federal government
to undertake the work in New-Hampshre as in
Wyoming North Carolina. while others will
insist that New-Hampshire should do it herself.
as NewYork is doing it in the Adirondacks.
But upon the desrability of having the work
done, and well and promptly done, there can
scarcely be any difference of opinion among
thoughtful men. There is no more precious
tract of mountain woodland in the whole coun-
try than that. There is none the preservation
of which is more strongly demanded by both
thrift and sentiment, or the destruction of which
is more directly threatened.
The forests of the White Mountains are now
rapidly being devastated. They are a favOrite
mark for the spoiler because of their proximity
to market the facility of transportation and the
varied and valuable character of their woods
At the same time that very proximity to manu-
featuring towns and cities dependent upon them
for water supply makes their preservation a
matter of the highest Importance. The same
circumstance indicates the unique value of the
region as a place of summer resort. TO which
use it has long been put by uncounted thou
permanent value 10 the State than it can pos
sibly be in any other way. On this latter
ground alone it would doubtless well pay New
Hampshire herself to take in hand the task of
preserving the forests from destruction
Upon the ground of sentiment, of beauty and
grandeur, of poetry and art, the matter makes
an all but irresistible appeal to every lover OF
nature and of beauty. Few spots in the world
display the varied charms of nature in greater
affiuence and perfection. Few have been more
admiringly and lovingly dwelt upon by gifted
and appreciative tongues and pens Nor has
there been exaggeration in the tributes paid to
the White Hills by Starr King, by Bayard Tay-
lor and their compeers who have celebrated
their glories in prose and verse It is difficult TO
conceive of any ones standing at the head of the
Crawford Notch and looking down that stupen-
dous defle of birch and pine and storm swept
granite, or peering from the crest Of Washing
ton into the Great Cuffs unfathomable gloom
and not thrilling to the heart with passionate
demand that these and all the surrounding
glories and wonders shall be preserved as a per
petual inheritance of the human race

DEEP TUNNELS.

The cut and cover method of tunnel construc-
1on necessarily causes great losses to shop
keepers and immense inconvenience to the gen
eral public. 1t ought TO be avoided, if possible,
In building other underground roads such as
the Rapid Transit Commission is considering
already and the requirements of this city will
isooner or later demand. The subject is worthy
OF earnest attention, and we are glad to observe
that The NewYork Sun" has taken it up.
When the passage of the Rapid Transit act Of
1884 and the popular vote taken that year had
Drought the project of an underground railroad
within the range OF vision. and the commission
was looking for capitalists TO undertake the
work, The Tribune earnestly invited official
consideration of the deep tunnel system en-
ployed in London, pointing out its enormous
advantages in respect TO public comfort. When
81 became evident that the method OF excavat-
ing from the surface was favored by the com
mission. we asked for a statement OF the rea-
sons. They were frankly given, but they did
not seem 10 us 10 be convincing at the time nor
has any subsequent explanation been entirely
satisfactory. There may be objections from the
engineering point Of view TO the deep tunnel
system; in fact, there must be, inasmuch as it
was rejected, but il involves no impossibilities
or extraordinary difficulties When the plans
for the work now nearing completion were
made, II was said that if the diggers went far
below the surface they would get under water
AT various points. But the contractors for the
Battery and Brooklyn extensions not only ex-
pect 10 find water at the lower end Of Broad
way. but are going under the East River.
II has been officially urged that the people Of
this city do not want TO descend far TO take a
train or ride far underground, and that it is
necessary 10 consider their feelings. The as
sumption may be false. and undue Importance
may be attached 10 il IL it is true. Moreover,
though one OF the newer underground roads in
London reaches. we lciieve depth Of nearly
a hundred feet. it IS not apparent that any such
depth would be necessary here. A convenient
distance beneath existing sub-surface structures
would seemingly be sufficient in most places
As for I'll and trouble of going up and
~>~gD stat---- stairs IL is 10 be presumed that

where conditions required a long fight elevators
would be installed. The Rapid Transit Com
mission should have learned from the expert
ence of the last three years that the construc-
ton of tunnel by the cut and cover system Is
a dreadful affliction. The people have endured
it with marvellous patience. and even where
their patience has been wantOnly abused. as it
long was in Park Row, complaints have been
astOnshingly. perhaps discreditably few. In
addition 10 the general Inconvenience and the
danger immense losses have been suffered by
merchants many of whom never be reim-
buTsed by an increase of trade due to the opera
tion of the road. Others ought, if possible. to
be relieved from paying so heavy contribution
TO the cost of an enterprise which is sure TO
bring great profits to the contractors.
1t is supposed that the deep tunnel system
would be more expensive notwithstanding the
direct and indirect cost of shifting and keeping
in use a network of pipes, wires and surface
tracks But that is not a controlling considera-
ton. The public has paid too much for what it
is going TO get for It's burdens might have been
made lighter. In future operations of a similar
character more regard must be shown for the
rights Of the people, whether the present sys-
tenn be continued or a different one adopted.

to save them wholly from miseries which Lon
don and Paris would never submit 10 for a

tbe accident on Murray Hill two or three years
aro was less serious than that of yesterday near
Lowell though the buildings damaged were
more valuable in the former case than the

Such accidents are usually the result OF some
ones carelessness and ii is pitiIul feature OF
them that the majority of sufferers are in no
way responsible for the fate which overtakes
them The Tewksbury affair seems to differ in
one particular from most precedents. The
workmen who are believed to have caused the
explosion were employed neither in the manu-
facture nor the use of the fatal agent They
were masons or carpenters. hired TO lay new
floor in the magazine where it happened Dis
regard of warnings. not to say orders, undoubt-
edly led to the awful result, though; and this
negligence appears to be more remarkable in
outsiders than in men who from long famil-
iarity with danger might have grown reckless.
The time when it will be almost impossible
for a powder or dynamite magazine to blow up
ought not to be far distant. Already the pro-
duction of compounds for blasting has advanced
so far that materials much less sensitive to jar
than nitro-glycerine are now available The re-
form may not have made as great progress as
is desirable, perhaps but recent achievement Is
certainly assuring. Sporting and military
powders present different problem. and their
improvement is not so clearly indicated. AS
they cannot be ignited by shock, they are re-
garded with less apprehension than dynamite
and other "high explosives" 1t is not unlikely
that chemistry may yet find a way to diminish
the facility with which they will ignite without
impairing their utility.

MORE DTANONDS.

For the people whom the recent slump in Wall
Street values has depressed and who see ma
tional poverty in the situation, the special re-
port of the Geological Survey on precious stones
will be interesting and refreshing reading The
document shows that the importations Of pre-
ciOus stones in 1902 amounted to $25, ,412 776. In
the same year the product of this country in
precious stones amounted TO $31S.30O, making a
total of nearly $26OO0OOO in gems available for
American purchaser
This great amount was none too large for the
demand, which, despite strikes, sIumps and
shrinkage in values continues to be good.
Prices are higher than they have been, and the
people who are interested in the industry he
ueve that the importadons this year will exceed
IN value the record mark OF last year This
may, as some persons say It does, indicate n
growing tendency in this country for ostenta-

LOGIC.

The citizens of New-York will receive with
great interest the Hon. w Bourke Cockran's
assurance that Mr.. Low is the logical candidate
of the fusionists 'if fusionist can be logical -
Mr.. COckran's remarkable powers of logic are
well known to them, and any criticism which he
may have to offer concerning the logic Of fusion
or the logic of anything else will be listened to
with even more respect and awe than the logic
OF Lewis Carroll. Since Mr.. Cochran showed
them the possibilities Of logic by supporting
General Tracy for Mayor in 1897, and in 1901
bitterly opposing Mr. Low on the ground that
he was the tool of Senator PIatt, nobody has
attempted to rival him in syllogistic feats.

truth in the tales that he is TO yield to the temp

The extremely successful results of The Asso-
ciated Press work from the Vatican are attract
ing attention IN the press of both this country
and Europe, which is not surprising in view OF
the fact that the final bulletin announcing the
death Of Pope Leo XIII was delivered by II in
New-York in time to be transmitted to London
and delivered to newspapers there in advance
of the receipt of a like bulletin direct from
Rome. Through the able generalship of Mr.
Melville E Stone, the manager of The Asso-
ciated Press, arrangements were made with the
French and Italian governments for expediting
transmission. and expert correspondents were
put the work, that messages were deltV-
cred in less than an hour which formerly took
five or six hours and bulletins were received in
twelve and sixteen minutes. and in one instance
in nine minutes. This feat involved telephonlng
from the Vatican to The Associated Press office,
telegraphing to Paris. relay to Brest, cabling
TO New-York and retransmission by short wire
from the French Cable office to The Associated
Press office.
