What then, is Peruna? Is it a cure
all? No such claims are made for it,
Peruna cures catarrh and that is all it
does cure But many ailments called by
countless different names are dependent
upon catarrh that is catarrhal infiam-
nation of the mucous membrane lining
some organ of the body. Hence Peruna
cures catarrh of the pelvic organs (fe-

as it cures catarrh of the nose or

The Brazilian oow.Tree.

Mr. Paul Fountain, a recent traveller
in South America, describes a remark
able tree which he found growing in
the valley OF the Amazon, and which
he thinks may be found in Central
America as we'll AS in the case Of
the rubber tree. it is the sap of the
tree that makes in interesting.
It's sap is a milk, singularly like the
finest cows milk. 1t is highly nutri-
tious, and will mix with water, hot Or
cold, and never curdles in coffee, cocoa
or tea. 1t keeps good for a week, even
in this climate, and has much the taste
of cows milk in which cinnamon has
been STEPPED. 1t is rather thicker
than ordinary milk, having the feel
ing in the mouth of liquid gum. If
left standing for a time, a thick, unc-
tuCus cream arises, which, when dry,
has the consistency Of wax. l have
drunk large quantities of 1t, both as it
came from the tree and also mixed
with tea or cocoa, with which it COM
bines better than cows milk; and |
can say that it is not only exceedingly
sustaining, but has not the slightest
deleterious quality. When l could
get this sap l always chose it in pref
erence to cows milk.
The sap is obtained either by wound
ing the bark Of the trunk or by break
ing the smaller branches. 1t runs free
Iy, and several quarts can be obtained
from a single tree in the course of a
few hours Unless the tree is much
broken or cut, it does not seem to
suffer much from the loss Of sap

The intelligence and usefulness of

"Farthest North with Greedy Major
D. L. Brainard gives a story of two
king dogs" Each pack of Greenland
dogs has an acknowledged leader an
absolute, autocratic king, who has won
his way to supremacy by fighting every
other dog that dared to enter the lists
against him. Likewise each team has
its king, who exercises undisputed sway
over the others, enforces discipline and
administers punishment whenever in
his judgment 1t is necessary.
"Riter;benk," the king dog Of our
team, writes Major Brainard, was
conspicuous example Large, with a
mixed white, black and mouse-coloTed
coat, tail which curled tightly over
his back, broad. intelligent head and
a bright, twinkling eye, he was the
embodiment of strength, courage and
sagacity. By reason Of his great
strength and superior intelligence he
had gained the supremacy of the team.
He was, therefore, the leader in all the
schemes for stealing our provisions.
One day, when he had stolen ptar-
migan, which had been placed for
safety on the ridge pole of the tent,
he lay down and apparently with no
qualms of conscience, began in the
most complacent manner to eat it.
rushed at him with a spade, expect
ing to drive him from our anticipated
dinner, but he was far from being the
coward l had pictured him. He gave
vent to a growl of defiance and STOOD
immovable, his sturdy legs wide apart
and his great bold eyes looking square
ly into mine. OF course l might have
crushed his skull with a blow, but my
admiration for his courage deferred
me. l threw away the spade and
called him by his familiar name, "Rit,"
wheTeupon he tTOtted up and rubbed
his head in the most confding manner
against my knee.

He cited the fact that for several
months the defendant had been under
a bond of $1,000, that She was an old
woman, 55 years of age, that her chill
dren. grandchildren and all other inter-
ests were here and that there was not
the least particle of danger of her
seeking to get away, SO that she would
be here for trial. 1t was also shown
that she was a very active woman,
always accustomed to hard work that
she had small vegetable farm to look
after, etc.
County Attorney Cragan objected to
the defendant being permitted to give
bonds on the ground that the evidence
against her was quite positive and the
presumption OF guilt great.
In passing on the matter Judge Pres
ton said that after having heard the
trial he could not say that the evidence
was positive nor the presumption great
