a DMIRAL SCHLEY, one Of the foremost
~ notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century.
A name that starts terror in the heart Of every
Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clearhead,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the.
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. It appeared on later converse
ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. It is out Of
the question that so great and famous man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

seem to have discovered in building
their baths. Up to the present time,
however, thing has been somewhat Of a
rich mans luxury, as it is not cheap

scoting is made to take its place very
largely. With the introduction of a
new material, however, the wainscoting
will be replaced by something which can
hardly be told from the high priced
thing now in use in fine residences.
This imitation thing consists Of an
enameled pulp board, made up of COM

any desired color and can be stamped and
rolled into slabs of any desired size, with
the grooves depressed at frequent in
tervals to initiate tiles OF various sizes
and shapes. In these grooves filing

MERCER1ZED COTTON.
Mystery Of How 1t Obtains Its Luster
Solved BY Noted European
Specialist.

At the last meeting Of the British As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Sci
ence paper was presented by Prof. w.
j. Pope, who fills the chair of chemistry
In the new municipal technical school
in Manchester. 1t represented some re-
searches made by himself and J. Hub
ner, director Of the splendidly equipped
department for bleaching, dying, print
ing and finishing textile goods, and for
PAPER manufacture, connected with the
school.
i 1t has generally been supposed that
the production of luster on treating
stretched cotton yarn with strong caus-
tic soda-in other words, mercerizing
the cotton-was conditioned only by the
simultaneous swelling and shrinking of
the fibers; but the men just named have
found that the uncoiling of the natural
ly twisted ribbon constituting the cot
ton fiber was an essential third factor.
Loose cotton fiber, immersed in strong
caustic on the stage of the microscope
was seen to uEtwist rapidly, to swell,
and also to shorten. II the fiber was
fixed at one end, it twisted to the right
or left, and as the fiber was, as a rule,
partly coiled to the right and partly to
the left, the untwisting took place first
toward the one and then to the other
side. ..-....... -.
If the fiber could not contract because
it was stretched, the untwisting of one
portion would cause another portion to
twist. The treated stretched fiber thus
again acquired corkscrew appearance;
but while the raw fiber formed twisted
ribbon, creased or folded at the turns,
the mercerizing transformed it into a
rod of circular cross section, twisted
while in q gelatinous state and covered
with rounded spiral ridges, which re-.
flected the light at all angles and ap-
peared, therefore, lustrous.

phorescent light which rises from the

the sea with ribbons of fire that lure the
cattle, browsing in the marshes, to their

The phenomenon appeared first on
the night of q recent windstorm. A
stiff gale had set the tide billowing in

practically restored. Two months pre-

amined by an expert oculist, who, after
putting her to various tests, designated
the case as .hysterical amblyopia, and

at the same time provide a rail which
shall serve the double purpose of as
sisting the traveller into his bunk and
preventing his falling out after going
to sleep, that this berth attachment has
been designed. AS a glance at the
drawing will show, there is pivoted
bar, which has stirrup at the end, in
which the foot can be inserted for
climbing to the upper berth. The low
ering Of this stirrup into vertical po-
sition throws up horizontal bar along
the outer edge of the berth, thus az
fording assistance to the climber.
When not in use both these devices can
be folded into the side bar of the

THE TWO STRANGERS STARED AT EACH OTHER

while the whole Harmon family were
staring with ali their might, the
younger man rushed forward and cried:
Father, won't you forgive me?"
Mrs. Harmon sat down upon the door
step and cried, the boys shrank back to
the very corner of the porch, the other
father leaned against pillar and waited.
for this proud father was taking long
time to open his heart. But at last he
did it; he sighed, and host of the hard,
fine wrinkles vanished from his face as
hesaid: my SOM" and held out his arms.
The Harmons crowded forward; even
the driver pressed nearer The very air
forgetful of the great dinner, everybody
waited while the old gentleman ex-
planned. 1t was the old story. His son
and he had quarreled, and the young
man had gone west to make his fortune.
That was two years ago, and there was
a white-haired old lady far away in New
York who cried every day for boy that
never came, but who was coming at last,
| for after dinner they would drive over to
the station, and in couple of days there
would be another Thanksgiving, and this
old lady would be at the feast.
Then Mr.. Harmon blew the horn, not
withstanding everybody was on the
spot, and Mrs. Harmon announced din
ner. 1t was the most thankful feast
that she had ever served, though, for the
first time in her career as housekeeper,
she had to share the credit for it, for

lane, following the guidance of the MIN

fully to the highway. If only another

willing to be Toasted, the day would be

not seem to be journeying, and the min
utes Jagged dreadfully From the posi-
ton of the sun and the state of his ap-
petite John knew that 1t was almost II,
and instead of watching the highway he
kept his wistful gaze fastened upon his
elder brother, who was employed in
whiting unknown species of animals
from a piece of soft pine. So surrey,
drawn by handsome pair of bays, was
upon them before they were aware OF
it's approach The boys sprang to their
feet and shouted just as it was dashing
past. The driver drew up with difficulty,
and the only occupant, an old gentleman,
with white hair and very wrinkled
face, looked out to see what was
wanted Rather incoherently, and in
some confusion, Dick told his story and
gave his invitation, emitting to state the
presence of the other stranger. The
driver of the surrey, which was from a
livery stable in small town ten miles
away, looked displeased and prepared
to drive on, but the old gentleman said:
Il shall miss the New York train any
way, as it lacks but ten minutes to H.
and 1 consider it privilege to eat

into the carriage and indicate the way
we will accept their kindness and that
of their good mother with many thanks.

WHO is MORE GULLiBLE?
The City Man Is Not Bit Behind His
Country Cousin in This
Respect.

lis the man of the country more guilt
BILE than the man of the clty?" asked
an observant man, in the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. There is suspicion
that an answer in the affirmative would
fit the case. Yet, it may not be SO.
An interesting experiment has recently
been made, according to story that
comes out of New York, and the result
seems TO have been little disastrous.
According to the story this attempt to
prove that the residents of the country
districts are more gullible than those
of the city has nearly resulted in jail
sentence for college student employed
as street car conductor in Brooklyn.
He is said to be a member OF a we'll
known family in Maine, and was a
student at Brown university in the class
of '06.
Financial reverses sustained by the
the city, and he became a conductor not
long ago. In July friend of the con-
ductor residing in Maine received a
letter offering to sell him, at low rates,
counterfeit money made in Mexico.
The Maine man turned the letter over
to the secret service officials and the
conductor soon after was arrested. He
was indicted and has been in jail since
July. The prisoner explained that the
letter was only joke and an expert
ment in sociology, finally giving the
district attorney his true name, which
he formerly had concealed. Investiga-
ton proved the story to be true, and
when the case came before Federal
Judge Holt the district attorney ex-
planned. The judge ordered the joker's
plea of not guilty to be withdrawn,
entered one of guilty and then suspend
ed sentence. He warned the student of
sociology, however, to be more careful
in his future experiments.
But this does not by any means set
tie the important question, and despite
the common belief in the gullibility OF
the man from the country now and then
we run across happening which shows
he has an element of shrewdness which
will often put the city man to hard
test of his wits"
