Il Do Not Believe Pe-ru-na Has

Pe.ru-na Is a Catarrhal Tonic
Especially Adapted to the
Declining Powers of
Old Age.

In old age the mucous membranes become
thickened and partly lose their function.
This leads to partial loss Of hearing, smell
and taste. as well as digestive disturbances
Peruua corrects all this by its specific
operation on all the mucous membranes
OF the body.
One bottle will convince any one. Once
used and Peruna becomes a lifelong stand

What The TszaHhens View Is.

i, . t-z q
S Twenty years sago in many parts Of
the United States the telephone was
regarded as joke. Farmers laughed
at the idea that e,psrson standing at
the end Of wirs twenty, thirty or
forty miles removed from another per-
see, could say what hewis6ed and
have the latter hear him. The tele-
phone was regarded as.a costly aud
almost useless toy.
A preliminary repert Of ihe United
States Census BuSesu dust issued
shows how, in two decades, popular
opinion on this important invention
has changed. This report states that
in 1902 more than 5.se9! 100000 tele-
phone messages were exchanged in
this country. There are now 4, ,151
telephone systems in the United
States, with 1850, ,4so Railes of wire
and 2,315, ,297 telephones.
The total number Of subscribers at
that tin,s was 2,137, ,256, and the tele-
phone companies earned from rentals
and tolls in q single year over seS, 900,
600. All this from the little instru-
ment once regarded as only &c for
children to play with.

Richest Child In The Wogqd.

To be worth fifteen aillion dollars
when one is but four years Of age may
not insure great happiness for the
future, but it does offer great posi-
bilities TO the possessoT Of this wealth
in future years to perform much good

John Nicholas Brown Of Providence,
Rhode Island, and but four years of
age, is considered 60 be the richest
child in the world. Gis father and
uncle died about four years ago, and
they left to him property now valued
at fifteen million dollars. When the
father and uncle died, the boy was
only two months old. He is now

preventative Of the company and line

"a certain mathematician," said

instead of on the sidewalk. He
would have kept on in the gutter in

"The mathematician stopped
within a foot Of the brough-

and it suggested to his mind q
blackboard. Accordingly, he drew
piece Of chalk from his pocket and
began to work out an abstruse prob
lem.
con and on he worked, covering
the carriage with figures, until final
ly it started off. Still working, the
mathematician followed it. He held
on to the body with his left hand,
and not until the pace became too
quick for him did he realize that
something was wrong. Then he
sighed, looked about him in q dazed
way, pocketed his chalk and started

IRRATIONAL MANKIND.
The Reasons Why So Few People Die
Of Old Aae.

OF Sio age.
1t has been said that few men die
of old age and that almost all per
sons die of disappointment, person
81, mental or bodily toll or accident.
sass The passions kill men sometimes,
even suddenly. The common ex-
preston, "choked with rage" has
little exaggeration in it, for, even
though not suddenly fatal, strong
passions shorten life. Strong bodied
men often die young, weak men live
longer than the strong, for the
strong use their strength, and the
weak have none to use-the latter
take care of themselves, the former
do not. As it is with the body, SO it
is with the mind and the temper.
The strorg are apt to break, or, like
the candle, run; the weak burn out.
The inferior animals, which live
temperate lives, have generally their
prescribed terms of years. Thus the
horse lives twenty-five years, the OK
fifteen or twenty, the lion about
twenty, the hog ten or twelve, the
rabbit eight and the guinea pig six
or seven.
The numbers all bear proportion
to the time the animal takes to
grow its full size. But man, of all
animals, is one that seldom comes
up to the average. lie ought to
live 100 years, according to the
physiological law, for five times
twenty are 100. But instead of that
he scarcely reaches an average age
of four times the growing period.
The reason is obvious. Man is not
only the most Irregular and most
Incorporate, but the most laborious
and hard working of all animals.
He is always the most irritable,
and there is reason to believe,
thpHgh we cannot tell what an ami
nal secretly feels, that more than
any other animal man c}lerishea
wrath to keep it warm and con-
sumes himself with the fire Of his
own reaections.--Health Culture.
