George flushed as he thanked the old

not in need Of money. Kenner came In

Tiers conviction was a blessing to
George Buckley. Indeed, the first Sun
day ufterward was q sort Of critical
period, for every citizen Of the place
who had any claim to responsibility
put on his best clothes and attended
one Of the six white churches; and our
hero knew that If he was to continue
to hold the position he had made for
himself in the social life Of the village,
he must not appear to falter or 10 stink
into retirement on account Of what had
happened.
1t was a bright, balmy day, and
when he went down to the postofice
after breakfast at the Hillyers' he
found the usual group Of idlers waiting
for the mail. There was barber shop
next door, and it was thronged with
churchgoers being shaved and having
their boots polished. George bowed to
several of his friends and acquaint-
ances, but there was something within
him that made him shrink from q
closer contact with any Of them, par
ticularly as he fancled he noted on
their faces expressions Of sympathy
that was CALLING to his sensitive spirit,
so when he had taken his mail from
the little, glass faced lock box, instead
of pausing to speak to them he busted
himself with looking over the letters
and turned down toward the ware
house. One communication was from
a confidential broker, informing Hill
yer that wheat had risen to $1.OS q
bushel and advising him to hold on.

Japanese Imperial MINI.

One of the earliest Western insti-
tutlons established in Japan was the
Imperial Mint at Osaka, and it has
been one Of the most successful and
useful. In the convention which was
signed at Yeddo. IN 1866. between the
representatives of the Japanese Gov
ernment and those Of the foreign
Powers, the establishment of a mint
was stipulated. The japanese Gov
ernment purchased from the British
Government 4 nint. which mad been
established at Hong long. but which
the latter had resolved to disecn-
tinue
The mint is now managed entirely
by japanese. and, judging from the
report Of the director fer the year
ended March 81, 1904, it maintains its
reputation not only for the amount Of
its production, but also for the efie-
iency and exactness of the work done.
The report, which is printed in Eng
lish. is a model of its kind It states
that the coinage for the financial year
under review consisted of gold, silver
and nickel coins in six denominations,
amounting to 13,916,571 pieces, Of the
value of 25,SQ10SG yen, against $751;
126 pieces Of the preceding pear,
valued at 3S,S00,563 yen in 10 yen
gold and 80 yen silver coins. In addi-
ton to these, 5.131,0 96 pieces of silver
yen were struck during the year.-En-

a farmers dog was lying asleep, when
a large eagle swooped upon it. Reused
by the pain Of the BIRDS talons in his
flesh, the dog seized one Of the eagles
legs fast between his teeth, biting the
limb through and through, and holding
on until the bird was completely beat

places, but at st. Moritz it is carried
to a ane art, aud only an expart can
expect to compete successfully on the
renowned "Cresta1 t0hoegaa run, with
its wonderful curves AMI banks. The
name Cresea is derived from q small
village of that name near the finish
Of the course.
The course is a little over three
quarters of mile in length, with a
difference of elevation, from the start
TO finish, of about COO feet; the grad
lent varies at different points, being
most steep at the church leap.
As only one toboggan can occupy
the track at a time, the races are all
decided by the time taken to complete
the course The record time from tie
start to the finish is at present Gl 6-10
seconds, this entaillng a speed Of sixty
miles an ilour or more en- the fastest
parts. The curves Of frozen snow are
built up with high banks accurately
shaped to allow the tobogganer to so
round them at the greatest speed, the
highest bank being about twenty-five
feet in height These different banks
| have well known names, such as the
Battledore and Shuttleoock, Scylla and
Charybdis and Bulpett Corner. The
whole track is practically OF ice, and
after passing the finish it has for a
short distance a steep upward grad
lent, the great momentum obtained
carrying the tobogganer uphill.
The tohoggans used are of Inc
skeleton" pattern, with steel run
ners, the tobogganer lying in prone
position and steering with his feet
by means of spikes attached to the
toes Of his boots. The principal race
run on the Cresta is the Grand Ma
tional, which takes place at the end
of February or beginning of March,

Why Old People Are Especially Liable
to Systemic Catarrh.
When old age comes n, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic eatarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Per1na
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that entirely meets
these cases. Nothing but an effective
systemic remedy can cure them.

ton in Chicago Puts Team.
sters Out of Business.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-The Illinois
Telephone and Telegraph company has
sold all its property to the Illinois
Tunnel company, with an authorized
capital of $30,000,000. The sale gives
the latter company the control of the
tunnels, tracks, telephone cables, etc.,
forty feet underneath Chicago. At
present the whole downtown district
is honeycombed with tunnels, the total
mileage being twenty. 1t is the inten-
ton of the new company to extend the
tunnels in all directions, an addition
of 100 miles being contemplated. The
motor used is electric, and the trains
are to run twenty miles an hour. 1t is
the purpose to make the tunnels termf-
nal transfers-what the North and
East rivers are to New York.
The railroads will deliver freight at
depot tunnels and trains will carry it
to the business houses. Not only coal,
but goods of every description are to
be carried from the railroad yards to
the business houses. The money for
the work Is understood to have come
mainly from the anthracite coal re-
gions of Pennsylvania, being furnish
ed through ]. B. Russell & Co., of
Wilkesbarre, Pa. 1t is said that as
result heavy teaming in the down.
town districts will be almost entirely
eliminated.
