Tribute to the Teacher.

The worst dressed people," said DIR.
S. Weir Mitchell, ARE the people who
are overvaluers of learning. In the
effort to dress the mind, pray you not
to forget the bofy." Teaching is a
great science, which requires the
noblest, broadest effort. The richer
forms of personality. the creative
lives that can inspire and infame
others with thoughts of nobleness are
the outcome of deep thinking and con-
scious striving after well balanced
normal modes OF living.-New York

Red Hot Shof

The method of throwing red-hot
balls was first practiced with certainty
at the siege of Stralsund in 1715 and
proved a highly effective weapon
against ships till a comparatively re-
cent date. Probably the last occasion
on which red-hot shot was used was
at the bombardment of Sebastopol by
the allied feet on Oct. II, 1854. The
Russians replied with it, and consider.
able loss was sustained by the British
vessels.

BIRD ON FISHING HOOK.
scotchman's Catch More Than He Was
Looking For.

Looking For.
Birds are often caught with fishing
lines. Swallows and martins seize tie
anglers fly. Albatross are fished for
in the southern ocean from the stern
of an Australian clipper. But it does
not often happen that a bird takes a
hook and is hauled up from far below
the surface of the sea. This was the
catch made by Scotch fisherman us
ing a long line baited with whiting.
He was surprised at the weight of his
capture before he brought 1t to the
surface, but still more astonished
when he saw that he had hooked a
great northern diver. which had seized
the whiting many fathoms bellows the
surface. He managed to get the bird,
which weighed as much as eight
pounds, into the boat, and tried 10 get
it off the hook. 1t retaliated by dart
ing at his face with its bayonet-like
beak. and split the skin of his fore
head from the eyebrows to the hall
after which it badly pierced his hands
before he killed it with stretcher.
These divers have been caught in nets
set thirty fathoms deep.

Cultural Wealth.
The swine industry of the United

OF our country. To the hog, more than
any other influence, are we indebted
for the finely improved farms and
beautiful cities that have, as by magic.
spread out over the vast area of agri-
cultural lands from Ohio in the east
TO the Missouri valley in the west. The
civilizing influence of the corn crop
mas changed the millions of acres of
wild prairie lands to the fertile. culti-
vated fields, rich with the cloyers,
grasses and improved crops of modern
agriculture. Without the hog this
great district of agricultural lands, ly-
ing in the center of what is known as
the corn belt, could never have at
tanned It's present distinction of wealth
and business reputation. AS a factor
in wealth production the hog Is Justly
entitled to the distinction of "the pio-
neer' among our meat-producing ami
mails. The American hog has fastened
his hold SO firmly. not only upon our
own people. but upon those of almost
every country on the globe, that tho
industry OF swine raising is of neces
sity made as progressive in its in
crease of production as the increase
OF population demanding pork produc.

DERUNA is known from the Atlantic
L to the Pacific. Letters of congrat-
ulation and commendation testify
Ing to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
of the Union.
DIR Hartman is receiving hundreds
of such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, from the highest to the
lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise and
testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh of its victims.
Peruna NOT only cures cafarrh, but
prevents IT, Every household should
be supplied with this great remedy for
coughs, colds and SO forth.
The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an
ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps 1t
continually in the house.

STATE OF OREGON,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
The Peruna Medicine Co, Columbus, o.
Dear Sirs:-I have had occasion to
use your Peruna medicine In my fam.
lily for colds, and IL proved to be an ex-
ceHenf remedy. have NOT had oc-
casion to use II for other ailments.
Yours very truly,
W. M. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Ex-Gov-
ernor says he has not had occasion to
use Peruna for other ailments. Tho
reason for this is, most other ailments
begin with cold.
Using Peruna to promptly cure colds,
he protects his family against other
ailments.
This is exactly what every other
family in the United States should do
keep Peruna in the house. Use it for
coughs, colds, la grippe and other
climatic affections of winter, and there
will be no other ailments in the house.
Such families should provide them
selves with copy of DIR. Hartman's
free book, entitled, "Chronic Catarrh."
