position and has won its way to the hearts of
the people. The natural timidity which so
many people have felt about giving endorse
ment to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude
and desire to help others has inspired thous-
ands Of people to give public testimonials for
Peruna who heretofore would not have con-
sented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that so many men Of national and
international reputation have been willing to
give unqualified and public endorsements to
proprietary remedy. No amount Of advertis-
ing could have accomplished such result.
Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna
cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in
the human body. That is why it receives so
many notable and unique endorsements.

ENJOYS OUTDOOR LIFE.
Stage, Spends Much of Her Time
in the Open Air.

Miss Julia Marlowe's outdoor diver
sions are golf, driving and automobile
ing. She does a prodigious amount of
walking all the year round. Her love
of nature is almost primitive in its in
tensity. Asked once what was her
greatest ambition, she said it was to
lead such q normal life that can get
up every morning in time to see the
sun rise Often she will dismiss her
carriage and revel in facing wind and
weather on foot. An acquaintance ac-
companied her from her hotel to the
theater one March night in the teeth
of a driving storm. The sidewalk was

and the winds made umbrellas sar-
casm. She enjoyed every step of the
walk and reached the theater in gale
of laughter and high spirits. Ii is this
abundant vitality, this capacity for
getting fun out of things which annoy
or bore most people that give com
pelling charm to her art, and rare,
sweet vivacity to her personality.
For time Miss Marlowe had Il house
of her own in New York city, but this
she has now given up. Her only hone
is her country place in the western part
of the Catskill mountains. This she
called "Highmount," and from the
windows of the house there is glor-
GUS view Of Il dozen mountain peaks
The house is large one of colonial
architecture, a part of which, the brick
terrace, the theater-soing public saw

est. In this respect they show an
example worthy of being followed by
the mother country. The English
board of agriculture is composed to
a very large extent of very able sta
tisticians, who at short notice will
produce figures upon any point capa-
Bile of being illustrated or dealt with
by them. But the New Zealand de-
partment is much more practical in
character. Its leading features are a
special veterinary staff, under chief
veterinary officer and bacteriologist
with large staff of veterinary sur
geons, and special dairy staff and
produce commissioner in London
This department exists for the pur-
pose of helping farmers, which it ac-
complishes in several ways. Instruc-
tors are sent out to all the various
classes who work on the land wheth-
er they go in for arabic cultivation
or dairy work, OF whether they are
fruit growers, horse beeders or sheep
owners. Then if anything new turns
up, it is printed and distributed
among them. More important still,
the officers of the department in
spect the meat to be exported and
the r fblic abattoirs, and they are
re ,nsible for that grading of dairy
4oduce which is the envy of other
countries. This is what is done at

Britain, and this ought to result in a
great improvement of the breed.
The government has tried very
hard to improve the breeding and
rearing of poultry, and this should
form very important auxiliary to
the New Zealand farm. The poultry
are received in large numbers at
government works in Christchurch,
where they are sold packed and
frozen for shipment.
The climate is a very excellent one
for the production of fruit, and. gen
orally, speaking, pears. plums,
ounces, apricots, fg~, walnuts. cher
ries, gooseberries, currants, straw
berries and raspberries do splendid
ly. Oranges and lemons flourish in
the Auckland district The olive
bears heavy crops in North Island,
and the manufacture of oil promises
to be an important one in time. Vine
growing is also developing. and
though the grapes in the past have
been largely sold for use at the
table. an Italian wine expert has
given it as his opinion that there are
numerous localities suitable for
growing vines for the manufacture
of wine. Cider making. too, is car
ried on to a considerable extent, and
the drying of fruit has been greatly
encouraged by tie government.
| The soil is fertile and the climate
humid, and what New Zealand aims
at is not competition with the very
cheap products of other lands, but to
be able to send out goods of bet
ter quality. This, of course, must
be done by the small holder who is
assisted in the work of his firm by
the various members of his family.
For such, very good facilities are Of
fered for settling on the land. At
CheNiot, for instance, the fine estate
has been cut up into moderate-sized
farms, and let 10 farmers on perpet-
ual lease at rental representing
four per cent. of the purchase
money. Mr.. Murphy, to whom we are
indebted for much of our Informal
ton on the agriculture of New Yea
land, says in regard to this: Pros
porous homes have sprung up all
over the settlement. and tree-plant-
ing is being carried on by some Of
the settlers. which is a proof of the
stability of the settlement Indeed
the planting of trees and shrubs is
one of the greatest necessities of the
colony, and if their Arbor day is not
successful we trust that the govern
ment will take this matter in hand
and do it thoroughly. For the rest,
1T is enough to say that probably in
