QUEER FISH OF THE NORTH
NarSi,ai One Of the stransest Of Sea
Animals.

One of the strangest of sea animals
Is the naEwhal, conjectured by some
to be the original OF the tabled uni
corn. The great popularity of this
graceful cetacean lies in its long tusk.
a polished ivory shaft. straight as an
arrow and sharp as a lance, which
protrudes from its head to great
distance. This formidable and gilt
tering appendage gives to the animal
striking and spectacular appear
ance. The narwhals appear of the
coast Of Greenland in schools, making
excursions into the various bays and
firds in search OF food. A band of
hundred OF more form picturesque
sight when blowing through the wat
er in miiitary-like procession, the
long. glittering horns all rising in
unison as they come up to the sur
face to blow. Their advent Is hailed
with delight by the Eskimos, as they
are said to be the forerunners OF the
early approach of the right whale.
which uses the same kind of food as
the narwhal.
Greenlanders hunt the narwhal ac-
lively. as they are very fond Of its
flesh. and the ivory of its horn is use
full for many purposes. The nutritious
skin forms the most delicious sort
of chewing gum for both men and
women and is regarded as choice
luxury. The body is covered to a
depth of three or four inches with a
layer of fine blubber. weighing half a
ton and yielding large amount Of
the best grade Of oil.
One of the most highly priced tro-
piles which Lieut.. Peary brought
back from his last journey to Green
land was the ivory tusk of narwhal.
This is the record-breaking specimen
OF the world. measuring eight feet in
length and eight inches in circumfer-
ence at It's thickest part. A realiza-
ton of its height is gained when it is
placed alongside man, the extreme
point of the tusk overlapping his head
two feet.

When we stand with the woods around
And the great boughs overhead:
When the wind blows cool on our fore
head;
And the breath of the pines Is shed:
When the song OF the thrush is ring
ing
Wonderful rich. apart
Between the sound and the silence
Comes a sudden lft of the heart.
When W. seek with the clearer vision
That grief tho rCSealer brings
For the threads that are shot together
In the closewrought web of things,
And find that pain is woven
Int love and JOY and art
Between the search and tho solace
Comes a sudden lift OF the heart
And when life's farthinE candle
Cutters and flares and sinks:
When the eye no longer wanders
And the brain no longer thinks.
When only the hand plucks idly

THE storekeeper would remember
that the man had been in before. but
nine times out of ten he couldn't be
positive about the change he had given
hin. and the bluff would work. fof.
OF course, the counterfeit had not
been received there. That was Just
the foxy showers scheme for work
ing on his bogus coin. In nearly every
place where he made a purchase a
good half dollar would be given for
the counterfeit.
The scheme worked well in num-

counterfeit coin on him. He gave us
lots OF trouble at first. for you see We

In the early railroad days. and that

paratively recent date. roadbeds were

came the era OF speed, when the saw

OF Improvement in the roadbed, and
grades were cut down and filled up
to as near a dead level as possible,

Swedish Invention That viii Prove a
Great Convenience.
A portable telephone is the latest
a Swedish. not an American, inventor.
The specimens of the device that have
been sent to other countries have
elected unstinted praise from Aus
trian, Russian, Greek and Turkish ex.
perts, who have tested them, and,
while large demands and inquiries for
the new phone have come from
Frence, Germany. Italy, Spain, Por-
tugal and the United States, those
from Great Britain have been even
more noticeable.
Within the cylinder of the telephone
is small dry cell, the whole appar-
atus (including both receiver and
in the pocket. With each instrument
is a coil of thin copper wire, and it
Is reckoned that soldier could easily
carry 1900 feet of this wire with
him.
The uses suggested for the portable
telephone are innumerabe, military
considerations being kept specially to
the front. Outposts, 1t is declared
could by its aid keep in constant com
munication with the main force, and
it Is pointed out that It would furnish
a valuable means of keeping in touch
with headquarters for police and fire
brigades. For use between railway
coaches on a moving trains, for en-
gineers at work underground or or
great public works, for steamers for
cyclist and in many other fields II
would be most desirable.

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh OF the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia-SOmething to
Produce Artificial Digestion
is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, PanCreatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

EX. u. s. Senator M. G. Butler from
II South Carolina, was Senator from
that State for two terms. In a
recent letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., from Washington, d. c., says:
al can recommend Peruna for dys-
peosia and stomach trouble. 7 have
been using your medicine for a short
period and feel very much relieved.
II Is indeed n wonderful medicine be-
sides a good tonic. IN. c. Butler
The only rational way to cure dys-
pepsia is to remove the catarrh. Pcruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
ton in natural way This is vastly
better and safer than resorting to arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies com
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply q remedy fol
dyspepsia. Peruna is catarrh remedy
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it il
generally dependent upon catarrh.
