Thousands Of cases might be quoted in
which Peruna has been used to rescue
people from :he perdtion of deranged
nerves, and put them on the good. solid
foundation of health. The County Audi

Brhalo, New York, stated IL was per-
suaded bV a friend 10 try a bottle of your
great nerve tonic, Peruna, and the results
were so gratifying that | am more than
pleased to recommend it."
A Spring Tonic.
Almost everybody needs a tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain and cleanse the blood.
That Peruna win do this is beyond all
question. Everyone who has tried it has
had the same experience as Mrs. =. ~.
Timberlake, of Lynchburg Va, who in
recent letter, made use of the following
words: Il always take dose of Peruna
after business hours, as ii is great thing
for the nerves. There is no better spring
tonic ard have used about all of them. "

The spring is the best time to treat ca

effective. A short course of Peruna, assist

EMERsoN's TRUE PLACE

"Sharea with Hawthorne and Poe
Primacy of American Letters"
Emerson shares with Hawthorne and
Poe the pr1macy Of American letters.
Whitman must be counted with them
as an original force in poetry. His I'M
agination had more volume and flow;
he had command. at his best, Of tell
Ing freshness and effectiveness ef
phrase; but in power Of organization,
In dEscernment Of spiritual qualities,
he falls far below the Concord poet.
For it is as poet that Emerson must
be reckoned with; the limitations Of
his prose, the lack Of order in his
thought, and Of thorough and large
structure in his style, are due to the
poets method in dealing with his SUBJ
jects. He has enriched our literature
with a few poems Of such directness
OF vision, such captivating simplicity
Of imagery, such ultimate felicity Of
phrase, that they will lay hold of the
Imagination Of remote generations.
He was not great in volume Of emo
ton, in tidal force and sweep of i'm
agination, in that fullness of life which
comes to the poet whose genius Is
charged with elemental power as was
Dante's and Shakspeare's. He did not
look at Christianity with the fresh and
original insight which he brought to
other subjects. He saw the disorder
Of society, but he did not seem to real
ize the tremendous Significance of sin
as moral evil. And although he said
striking and profound things about
Christ, he failed to take the measure
of the divinest personally In history
failure due in part to the force of
the religious reaction in which he
lived, and ia part to his fundamental
view Of life
In spite of these limitations, he re-
mains in many respects the finest
product Of the old race In the new
world; tie loftiest snterpreter of it's
fundamental idea and mission; one of
the deepest and noblest of it's tea achers
of life so simple, so blameless, so
nebly poised between vision and task
that to recall it is to catch a glimpse
of the spiritual order of life, and to
believe in the dreams of the pure and
the great.-Hamilton Wright Mabie in
the Outlook.

by the Mayor and two prominent citi.
zens Of Batavia, N. Y, also by the
County Clerk and the Sheriff of Gene
see County, stating that In less than
10 minutes after the call of President
Lincoln. April Is, 1851, for $4,000 vol
unteers was taken from the wires the
name Of Charles F. Rand was enrolled
as soldier. Among all the war rec
ords at Washington there is none of an
earlier enlistment than that Of DR..
Rand, and the honor has therefore
been given him by common consent.
Not only was DR.. Rand the first vol
unteer for the Civil War, but he was
also the first soldier to win the Con-
gressional medal Of honor for distin-
guished galantry in action. This event
occurred at Blackburn's Ford, Va, in
ment. His command was ordered to
retreat, and every man obeyed save
young Rand, at the time but 1S years
Of age. The rest of his battalion, num-
bering 500 men, was swept in disorder
from the field, but Rand held his
ground, notwithsta nding the fact that
the field was plowed by shot and shell
all about him. The enemy finally abb
solutely refused to FIRE at the boy,
standing bravely alone and shooting at
them as coolly as If he had thousand
men at his back. Rand then crept
across deep rayine and joined the
command of Gen. A. 81. Barnum.
DR.. Rand's patriotism and gallantry
have been recognized by two Govern
ors Of the State Of New York and by
three Presidents. He was twice per-
sonaliy honored by President Lincoln.
New York remembered him with a
gold medal appropriately inscribed, and
the United States government has pre-
sented him with a plot in the most
beautiful part Of Arlington cemetery,
where, at the proper time, the State Of
New York will erect a monument
worthy Of the first man to offer his
services as a volunteer during the
great rebellion.

STRAWBERRIES IN LESS FAVOR.

Doctors Looking Askance at Them
Cooked Food Recommended.
In spite of the stEawberry's centu-
ries Of popularity, it is by no means
a wholesome fruit for everybody. 1t
is not easily digested raw, and doc
tors usually forbid it to children un-
der 6.
Its acid is peculiarly unwholesome
for persons of rheumatic tendency,
and the fruit Is little less than a poi
son to some constitutions. The doc
tor books do not set down the straw
berry among the vegetable poisons,
but what is popularity known as straw
berry poison is very common at the
spring season of the year, says the
New York Sun.
Marked cases of stra wberry poison
ing are attended with fever. lassitude
and other disa greeable symptoms. Ia
some cases the face and body are
marked with large areas Of strong
red, suggesting at first scarlet fever.
These areas run inte odd-looking
patches, and in senae instances become
almost purple.
The usual remedy Is to quit eating
stra wberries, but sometimes the pa
tients require corrective medicines.
Many who have had the disease, If
such it should be called, are able after
a cure to eat the berries in modera-
ton. Some, however, can never again
eat SO many as half dozen stra wber-
ries with safety. A lucky few con-
tract a strong distaste for the berries
after such an attack, and have no
difficulty ia leaving them off their bill
of fare.
Some, who cannot eat the straw
berry in its natural condition, can eat
it cooked, and the doctors recommend
the cooking Of this and other berries
for children. In fact, the doctors are
by no means so warm in their rec
condition as they were a few years
ago, and some have taken the attitude
that most fruits, especially when not
grown practically under the eye of the
consumer, are more wholesome cooked
than raw.
Even the apple has been attacked,
and many persons are advised to eat
baked apples rather than raw apples,
no matter how fresh and mellow. An
additional reason why cooked fruits
are recommended lies in the fact that
so large part of the fruit in the New
York market is sold after being from
a few days to many months in cold

DANGEROUS SHOWER BATH.
Volume Of Water Almost Drowned an
Adventurous Youth.

Volume Of Water Almost Drowned an
Adventurous Youth.
A story is told in the Worlds Work
OF a youth who, partly from ignorance,
partly from a spirit of foolhardy ad-
venture, put his life in jeopardy. He
and his companion were spending a
vacation in the Yosemite Valley, and
had been fishing for mountain trout
ON the Illilouette.
Tomorrow" he said, "I shall take
a shower bath under the 1,700-foot
fall"
"You are foolr' said his compan-
ion.
''Not at ALL" came the reply. "The
river is very low. What there is of it
turns to spray in the first hundred
feet; it will simply come down like
rain. Why, you'd go under the Bridal
Veil yourselfl Only that's prosaic
This is something big. Come on"
Not To-
But 1 was there to see. The water,
as he had said, came down, a consid-
cradle part of it, in rain and spray that
tances. But to crawl down, dressed in
a bathing suit, closer to the main
stream that falls to the pool and upon
the rocks, with a murderous swish in
the air and a roar in the ears like a
railway train, was daring to foolhardi-
ness. At any moment a veering wind
might swing the whole mass upon the
tall, slim figure backing tentatively on
all fours down the jagged talus slope,
his eyeglasses glinting cheerfully. A
steady breeze kept the fall swung out
a little the other way, and the spray
burgeoned out far up the other slope
The roar was deafening.
All at once the wind shifted. The
water swung back, and in a fash the
human figure was blotted out In a
deluge that turned me sick. For a
second, that seemed an hour, it play
ed on the spot iendishly, it seemed to
me, standing horrified there, and then
slowly it swept away.
And then there was a movement, a
painful, crawling movement down
there on the slope, and I scrambled
down the slippery rocks to help blink
ing, creeping, much-surprised youth,
bleeding from a hundred cuts, ND to
where his clothes lay. He was still
too dazed to speak. When his breath
returned and his extra glasses were
perched again on his nose, he said:
''The oceans fell upon me. Come
