Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per-
manant use In so many homes is that 1t
contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can be used
any length Of time without acquiring
drug habit. Peruna does not produce tenn
porary results. 1t is permanent in its eff
feet.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
ard gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such a thing could not be possible If Pc
runa contained any drugs of a narcotic
nature.

UncrackabIe Glass.

Glass that can be heated white hot
and then plunged into cold water with
out breaking seems an imposSibility,
but it has been recently made an ac-
complished fact. 1t is made from Bra
lillian quartz pebbles heated red hot
and then thrown into distilled water.
Then the purest pieces are selected
and welded with the. oxyhydrogen
blowpipe into long stems like straws.
from which glass vessels of any shape
can be made. Thus far this quartz
glass has been employed chiefly for
making laboratory apparatus. A test
tube made in this way will not break
when a white-hot coal is dropped
into it.

lects is enormous. There are more

Brazil and in Mexico the Nahua Ian
guage has been broken up into 700
dialects. There are hundreds in

Miniature Dinner Train.

An English firm has built a small
train, specially for a millionaire, to
carry about decanters and cigars after
dinner. The little engine, over which
two dolls in blue overalls preside, is
constructed of silver-plated copper in
miniature reproduction of locomotive.
The tender is stacked with Goals from
the millionaire's own coal mine. When
the millionaire touches a button the
train starts. 1t runs quite slowly
round the track, and when a guest
picks up a decanter the current is
broken and the train stops till he re-
places it. The total length of the
train, which is driven by electricity,
is over five feet and the track is con-
structed for a 20-foot table

ND what does IT all amount to
Il When the battle of life has fed
Only ashes Of hope remaining
Ger the graves Of our buried dead.
And what does 1t all amount to-
With our wealth and our transient name,
But gauze. and glitter and seeming
In the search for fantastic fame.
And what will it all amount to
A thousand years from to-day
With millions who laugh or battle
And like US shall all pass away?
And yet 1T amounts to something
If you're happy in age and youth,
Stand by the right in every fight
And believe in eternal truth.

CHRISTMAS BILLS.

Oh the bills, Christmas bills,
What world of misery
Their memory instills!
AS the merchants with their quilts
Stuck behind their ears polite
So caressingly invite
Your kind and prompt attention
To their bills.
How they dun, dun, dun,
AS they kindly urge upon
Your earnest attention their blessed lit
tie bills,
With power of perforation,
And man that never fills,
What a sad discrimination
To call them little bills,
While all the tin that tinkIcs
In your pocket, only sprinkles
A little liquidation on the bills
o. the destiny that fills
All our holidays with bills,
When the Christmas dinner
OF the poor indebted sinner,
Might be cooked with the fuel OF his
bills.
Oh! the bills, bills bills,
Nothing else but bills!

Poor LoUIsE.-Former Crown Prin.
cess Louisc, divorced wife of the King
OF Saxony, has been expelled from the
kingdom while making desperate at.
tempt to see her children. She was
sent to the frontier under police sur
veillance. While the exile, whose
elopement with NJ. Giron, the in
structor Of the children, about two
years ago, affords a lamentable ill.,
stance of human frailty, it seems to
US that her punishment, according to
the Christlike judgment is altogether
out OF proportion to the moral de-
linquency. That she should not see
her children, under any circumstances
seems to be a crime against nature,
and ill fares the day when the limits
of virtue shall be prescribed by the
vindictive hatred OF poor, frail human
ity. Besides there are two sides to
this question, as of all others, and
the record OF King Francis Augustus
is not model of the tolerance and
virtue one would expect from a hus.
band who sits in judgment on his
wife, to say nothing of a king who
fills the exacting duties as q ruler over
an intelligent people.

BENJAMIN Franklin, the philosopher
and patriot of the Revolutionary
times, left 5000 in his will to the
city Of Boston to be invested for 100
years, at the end OF which time it was
to be used for benefit of apprentices.
1t had increased, at the limit of time,
which expired several years ago. to
$4,000, and the trustees were in
doubt what to do with the money, as
the amount was too small to be used
in any practical general fund. In
this emergency, Andrew Carnegie came
to the relief OF the project, and do.
mated $4,000. bringing the total up
to $4,000. and it is now proposed to
found an enterprise similar to the
Cooper Institute OF New York, for the
educational development OF a class OF
young men who correspond with the
apprentices of Franklin's day.
