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 prudent 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 Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
Or. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
z5eaT Sir:--"The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from Laryngi-
us, ard 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. "
~--Sisfers of Charity.
The young girl was under the care OF
the Sisters OF Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re-
suits as the above letter testifies.

GOetheIS Terror.

1t was only after years and years OF
effort that Goethe could overcome an
ill-defined, superstitious dread Like
many children with a poetical tempera-
ment, he was sensitive and suffered
from childish terrors. To overcome
this his somewhat stern and opinion
ated father used to compel him to sleep
alone, and when the lad stole away
from his own bed to that of his broth
ers, would chase him back disguised
as a fantastic hobgoblin.

Ghost was a shrewd One.

A resident Of Philadelphia who was
not in the least superstitious recently
exercised a "ghost" in very effective
fashion. He is Mr.. Edmunds, presi-
dent Of the board Of education. The
property in question consisted or a
good-sized lot with substantial house
upon it in a good state of repair. Al
though the residence seemed a des1r-
able one, it's owner could not keep a
tenant in it. The only man who could
be persuaded to remain on the prem
Uses was a caretaker, who did not fear
ghosts. For the house was haunted. -
Mr. Edmunds does not believe in
ghosts any more than the caretaker
did. He bought the house, paying
$4,000 for it, and then laid his plans
for laying the ghost. After weeks OF
patient watching the ghost was cap
tured It was the caretaker, who, by
giving the house bad name, had Sc.
cured a habitation free for a couple
Of years. The house has tenant
now.

Few railroads have been so fortunate in
having such a subject as the latter to
treat. Niagara Falls, the most magnif-
cent Of all cataracts, has been e-empted
by the Michigan Central road, and the
railway and the waterfall have become
so closely linked that they are considered
parts of one another The Michigan Cen
trail not only runs via Niagara Falls, but
it runs in sight of them, by them, almost
over them. In view Of its advantag es
over other lines in It's Niagara Falls
route, it is not strange that the manage
ment Of this road years ago placed the
Falls upon it's banner and adopted it as
it's mark to the world. The Michigan
Centraps trademark is Indicative of the
general artistic atmosphere that pervades
everything in and about this road. Its
line between Chicago and Detroit is a
continuous garden of flowers. If the
goddess Flora were ever to assume the
material one Of her first moves should be
q trip over the Michigan Central.

 An unique affair is to bs enacted in Richmond, Virginia, to-day. The United States navy is going to take forcible pos session of the cruiser Galveston, disre- garding an injunction of the Virginia courts. The attorney general has decided that the Virginia court had no right to issue such an injunction, as the Calves ton, although only partially completed, is the property of the federal government, and as such cannot be made amendable to the laws of state. The firm which has been engaged in building the Calves ton, on contract, has gone into the hands of receiver, and the courts have issued an injunction against the launching of the vessel at the behest of creditors of the contractors. Consequently a gunboat, 8 squad of marines and several naval off cers will go to Richmond and take pos session of the vessel, and will be prepared to shoot if necessary, although the very knowledge of that fact Is regarded as sui ficient to prevent forcible resistance.

Curious Mathematical Fact.

There is a certain popular young lawyer in Atlanta who when in college was known as the best mathematician in his class. He is still much interest ed in knotty questions of figures, and he propounded a query on the street yesterday that none of a dozen men could answer.
 "Take any two consecutive num- bers," he said, "say four and five; square them and subtract the lesser result from the greater, and the num- Der you have is the same as the sum of the numbers you started within this case four and five, their sum being nine.
 '"This will work out every time, no matter what two consecutive numbers you take. The rule is well known, but I have never been able to find an ex- planation of it. Why is this always true, and can any one explain it to meY'

His UnSnOken OniniOn.

Richard NJ. Hunt, the artist, hOnes in his opinion and blunt in it's expres sion, was appreciated by budding stu dents. What he said in criticism some times necessitated the destruction of q picture, but the advice eventually was profitable.
 A lady called on MT. Hunt one day requesting him to select a frame suit able for q sketch which a dear nephew had painted. "A frame in harmony with the thought suggested by the pic. ture," was desired.
 Artist Hunt betook himself to the woods. A few days after he called on a picture dealer. saying that he wished the sketch framed in the material he had collected.
 "Impossiblew exclaimed the picture dealer. Cant frame the picture with this stuff. It's rotten wood"
 "You must" said MT. Hunt gruf1y "This frame is to be in harmony with the picture"
