Pe.ru-na Reaches the Source Of ca
tarrEal DiseaseS-Unhealth
Mucous Membranes.

It reaches the source Of all diseases Of the
mucous membranes by its action on the
vasa-motor system of nerves.
Every person who has had la grippe dur
ing the last year should take q course OF
Peruna. No one need expect perfect recov-
cry unless they do SO. The grip has pro-
duced catarrhal Inflammation Of the whole
mucous membrane, and good health Is i'm
possible until these are restored to nor
NAL condition.
This Peruna will do. A great many rem
edies have been suggested for this condi-
ton from time to time. but Peruna appears
to be the only remedy that has any sub
stantial value In these cases.
1t has stood the test of forty years ex-
perfence and still occupies tho unique posi-
ton Of being the leading az not the only}
specific remedy for the after-effects of IL
grippe.
At the appearance of the first symptoms
of grip people should stay indoors and take
Peruna in small doses Oesspoonful every
hour until the symptoms disappear. This
will prevent a long. disastrous sickness and
perhaps fatal results.

Lord Masham's Inventions

Lord Masham has been the architect
or two fortunes. The first was made
by his wool combing machine, the sec
end by the utilization of waste silk.
The story is told that one day he
walked into large warehouse In Lon
don when he saw what appeared to be
pile of rubbish. He inquired what II
was and was told that 1t was waste
silk, which they were in the habit of
selling as rubbish. He bought guam
tity at halfpenny per pound and
turned 1t into gold. The heap of waste
SILK suggested an idea, but he had to
spend ten years. time and no less than
fS6O,OOO before the idea was complete
iy worked out But at the end of this
period he had invented a machine for
turning this waste silk into beautiful
plush. Lord Masham is the patentee OF
many other inventions. including the
compressed airbrake for railways.

A Bible Centenary.


Lord Bowen amused the house OF
lords few years ago by witty con-
domination of ''uncritical and unneces-
sary centenaries." A centenary is near
at hand which is not unnecessary, at
all events. In December, 1902, one
Mary Jones walked barefooted twen-
ty-five miles to the home OF a Welsh
pastor, carrying her savings of six
years to exchange for a Bible. The
pastor had but one copy left, and that
had been promised to another person,
but he procured a copy fer her. The
thought of that long tramp haunted
the good MIR. Charles. He rallied Will
berforce, Zachary Macaulay and 9TH
ers to organize the British and Foreign
Bible society, which has since then is
sued over 175.O0oO00 Bibles and parts
of the book in almost 300 different lam
guages

The sacred Gamer. Journey.

In former years the sacred cameps
journey, with the gifts Of the sultan to
the shrine of the prophet, which takes
place annually. was made entirely Oh
foot from Constantinople to Mecca.
Modern ingenuity. with Its ever ready
desire to deprive the world OF the pic.
turesque and add the machine under
the plea OF greater saving OF brute
strength, now conveys the camel halt
the way by transport, from Scutari to
Beirut.
1t still, however, makes the solemn
and time honored start from the palace
at Scutari, crossing the Bosporus in
great state amid salvos OF cannon and
accompanied by all high officials and
religious dignitaries mounted upon and
guarding numerous mules loaded with
boxes. costly gifts and specie required
on the journey. Embroidered saddle
cloths and ostrich plumes adorn the
animals, and their riders are swathed
In gorgeous robes OF yellow, green, blue
and red. When the camel again begins
the land journey at Beirut, it is Joined
by hundreds OF pilgrims, and by the
time 1t eventually arrives at Mecca this
number has swelled to thousands of
the faithful anxious to show their re-
ligious zeal in guarding the treasure
laden animal on its journey among the
hostile Arab tribes.

A MiIIIonaire,s SOUND Adv,c,

1t was pretty rs we'll as an appro.
pirate compliment which a wealthy
philanthropist In central New York
paid the other day to Mr.. George w.
Perkins, the well known financier
when he caused to have printed upon
thousand rulers given away to school
children the following quotation from
Mr.. Perkins: TOO many young men in
this country don't want to work hard.
they prefer TO take things easy, stay
up late at night and lie abed too long
In the morning. They never can get
ahead that way. Time and conditions
may change. but the old rule remains
the same - that there is no success
without keeping everlastingly at It."
Wiser words TO keep before the eyes of
American boys and girls could hardly
be found than these. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Perkins has come up to
his present high and commanding posi-
ton In the commercial world from one
or the humblest and lowest positions In
the ranks. He was once an Office bow
to member OF the firm OF ]. Pierpont
Morgan.-Leslie's Weekly.
