In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges com
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care Of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudential Sisters have
found Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows
DIR. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir: a." The young girl who used
the Pernna was suffering from Iaryngi-
it's, and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she is entirely cured. I"

Indian Love Powders.

One Of the iowa Indians is making a
good living by selling so-called love pow
ders. Little peculiar shells found in the
creeks, and the root of certain kind of
morning glory, furnish the sole ingredi-
ents of the love-compelling powder. The
shells and roots are dried and ground to
powder; then, after making sort OF
paste of the mixture, the lovesick swain
or squaw smears it over his or her face;
then the love-powder painted person
goes close to the one whose affection IS
to be captured. 1t is claimed that the
besmeared person is always Victorious

Lieutenant Fooled Them.

Few soldiers like to drill, and, be-
lieve, all dislike to work." remarked a
veteran from the Wooden Nutmeg
State. During the siege of Corinth
it became necessary to go some 10
miles over the worst of roads to Pitts
burg Landing to draw forage and pro-
visions, and many were the expedients
resorted to by the boys to escape the
hard task One morning at roll call
our Lieutenant said: Any Of the bows
who would like a drill will step to the
'front.' Not many came forward Now
you rear rank men, each take a horse,
&c to the landing and bring back a
sack of OATS The boys were sold, but
ever afterward volunteers for drill
were more numerous. "-Cincinnati En-

Sent that day. l was on the regiment
al staff and was also stationed at the
place.
Captain Pratt, Lieut.. Weed and my
self held a brief council of war. I
don't suppose we three young fellows
realized at the time that, acting in
such q matter on our own responsible
lty and without orders, we might get
ourselves into a serious scrape with
our superiors. We all felt the same
way about the matter. 1t was the first
chance that had been presented to us
to see any real service, and we were
not the chaps to miss it. The captain
issued his orders, and when the men
round out what was in the wind, they
were as eager to go as we We're to lead
them.
The captain and I mounted our
horses and the lieutenant marched
with the men. The muskets had been
loaded and capped and the cartridge
boxes were full Sure enough, when
we came round the Point, there was
tall masted vessel without sails, an
chored hundred rods from the shore
We could see a number Of men on
the deck. The place was near where
the British landed in 1914.
The negro had informed us where
two boats were secreted. We dragged
the boats out got in and rowed out to
the vessel.
Now, the reader will readily see
what might and probably would have
happened had the situati been what
we had every reason to suppose it to
be. One dozen determined men with
no better arms than we had, might
have held the deck in defiance of u.s.
They could have killed and wounded
half Of us before our boats could have
reached the vessel; they could have
| easily beaten us altogether.

Of something Of this sort, and the men
were all ready to use their muskets on
the slightest hostile demonstration.
But never a shot was fired. We
boarded the vessel and took possession.
Our prisoners were about thirty we'll

A Walking Locomotive.

B. J. Diplock, an Englishman, has de-
vised a walking locomotive, which is ex-
pected to revolutionize all present forms
of road traction. The spokes of the
wheel extend beyond the rim, and on the
end of these are fastened what look like
club. or elephant, feet. They are made
of rubber and rest on spiral springs. 1t
is said that the ''pedrail,'' as it is called,
can climb the steepest hills, walk over
large stones and large pieces of timber.
and can pass over ruts and soft ground
with the greatest ease.

There is one fault into which most peo-
pie fall who have managed to scramble
little higher in the world than they are
to whom is owed the consideration, at
tention, and love of kindred-that is, to
be ashamed of those less fortunate rela-
tives, to despise and slight even father

them off, no matter how much they love

the penetration into sand and loan at so

OF the Re,ieemer next Wednesday.

Rev. Frederic X. Howard Rector of
the church of the Redeemer has re-
signed his passionate and will sever
his connection with the church on the
18th of the present month.
1t is understood that the reason for
the move on the part of Rev. Howard
was a question of salary. When he
came here three years ago he took
the church when it was in most
prosperous condition. &. s. Stark
weather had just resigned a successful
pastorate and the church has large
number of active members. Rev.
Howard came at a salary which was
not up to what he expected, but ii
was hoped that the steady growth of
the church would soon enable the yes.
has turned out, however, that many
who We're then members of the church
have since moved away, and it has
been difficult to pay the pastor the
salary he was already receiving with.

ever, met all of its obligations, but
Rev. Howard realized that it was with
difficulty that this was done and at

he offered to relieve the congregation

ever, to remain for another year at
the same salary if the church wished
it. The church officers realized that
Rev. Howard should receive larger
salary and not wishing to keep him
from being called to n better position,

men did not feel that the financial

any hope of increasing the salary.
Bishop Nicholson of Milwaukee will
