Miss Gertrude Stebbing, Room 202,
SO LaSalle ST, Chicago, H., writes:
About half a year ago / contrac-
ted a severe cold, which settled in my
systm and finally developed into ca
tarrh of the head, which was very
troublesome.
Il had frequent headaches, my eyes
smarted and head was stopped up so
that l felt dull and stupid all the time.
II had known of so many people
who had used Peruna and been bene-
flied that l was sure that it would do
me good and so l bought a couple of
bottles and used them. l became bet
ter right along and before l had fin
ished the fourth bottle / was cured.
Il am pleased to recommend your
medicine, for consider it very good"
Gertrude Stebbing.
There is no fact of medical science
better esta blished than that a tea
spoonful of Peruna before each meal
during the winter season will abso-
lutely protect a person from catching
cold. Now if this is true (and there
is no doubt of IT'D, thousands of lives
would be saved and tens of thousands
of cases of chronic catarrh prevented
by this simple precaution within
reach of everyone.
After a cold has been contracted a
teaspoonful of Peruna every hour will
SnOTJlN cure IL, leaving no trace OF IL
behind. After chronic catarrh has
become established, or the first stages
of chronic bronchitis or consumption
have been reached, it will take much
longer to effect a cure.
It seems strange that as well known
and well established as these facts are
that anyone should neglect to profit
by them. and yet no doubt there are
many who pay little or no attention
to them, and go on catching cold, ac-
quiring chronic catarrh, bronchitis
and consumption.

rove over the steppes in bands, always

On the steppes the Kalmucks re-

The tents Of these queer citizens
of Russia are made of heavy black
felt with a round roof. In the very
top is hole to permit the escape of
smoke. The felt tents are supported
by light framework of willow, which
can be taken apart quickly.
The entrance is so low that a grown
person can enter only by bending al
most TO the ground.
The furniture of the interior Of a
Kalmuck tent consists of dirty felt
mats, and a big black kettle suspended
over rude timber tripod in the mid
die of the place.

Fornker's Fastidiousness.

FOraI<er's FastidiOusness.
Speaking of Senator Foraker, it is
well known that he is a man of very
fastidious taste in attire, even to his
hat and overcoat. He appeared the
very pink of perfection in clothes when
he entered the Capitol restaurant the
other day with Senator Kean, who is
another connoisseur in raiment. The
two enjoyed lunch together, in chum-
my fashion; but when the score was
settled, the Ohioan discovered that his
top garments had entirely disappeared.
Some one had made an exchange and
left behind a rusty old SLOUGH hat and
a frayed and shiny overcoat. There
was nothing for Mr.. Foraker to do but
don them. and the transformation was
ludicrous laughter at the discomfort
ture of his friend, making his debut in
the apparel of rustic.

raises an interesting question as to
just how far a hostess is liable for
accidents which befan the belongings
of her guests. At a dinner party few
nights ago a man-servant was so I'M
fortunate, or so awkward as to spill
a glass of wine on the front breadth
of a certain we'll known Society's wom-
an new gown. The hostess of the
occasion is the wife of a millionaire
from the West, and very well-bred
person. The guest, as is we'll known,
though cutting a much larger figure
formers income and is Obliged to strain
points considerably to make ends meet.
The hostess was therefore the more
distressed at the accident, and though
she said no more at the time than
civility required she felt in duty bound
to replace the gown which her SER
want had ruined. She hardly knew how
to approach the matter, for to her
natural refinement the situation APP
peared delicate. After consideration,
she made up her mind to ask the other
woman to order a new gown from their
common dressmaker and to charge it
to her account. She fancied that she
was about to arrange everything in
the most delicate and tactful manner
possible. But to her establishment she
was relieved of all trouble in the mat
ter. The very day after dinner the
guest sent her big bill for the ruined
gown, without the enclosure of any
personal note whatever The hostess
returned her check for the amount and
formally asked for a receipt

One of the new members of the
House, Mr.. Mick" Longworth of Gin
cinnati, is considered a distinct acaui-
sition. He is not only a favorite in
society, a Harvard graduate, and a
man who can hold his own in debate
en- the floor Of the House, but he is a
finished piano player and a sweet
singer" from away back. Not long
ago Representative Longworth was inl-
tlated as a member of the Tantalus
Club, and he overcame objections
raised against him by Representative
Gardner of Massachusetts, by reading
the maiden speech of Mr.. Gardner in
the House. The effect of Gardeners
speech at that time was to call an inn
mediate adjournment of the House 1t
was all about Goldfish and doracie acid.
TT was all the House could stand"
said Mr.. Loneworth: and he was
thereupon admitted as a Tantalus mem
Der. After the dinner a few choice
spirits found that Longworth could
play and sing. Finding piano that
was mot working" he gave the death
and burial of an Austrian general with
profound effect. Then he was re-
quested to tell in song the story of an
''Old Clos Collector" This was pro-
nounced a masterpiece, especially as
the collector of the song devoted him
self to procuring garments of royalty
and met with many difficulties-all of
which Representative mick" depicted
with pathos and humor. After that
there was no getting away from the
enthusiastic audience until morning.

labor. The snobbish idea that good work,
of whatever kind, can possibly be dis
grace, has never gained much foothold in
this country. What more noble and use
full work could there be than making a

work that demands the highest degree
