A Paradise for Women.

The treatment accorded women in
the island of Sumatra ought to be a
great satisfaction to the advocates of
women's rights. At marriage the
worldly possessions of the husband
are made over to the wife, and he
thenceforth devotes his energies to
increasing this fortune. Divorce is
practically unknown, perhaps because
husband and wife do not live together
but live in separate houses.
The lot of married woman is such
happy one in this favored land that
widowhood is rendered proportionate-
ly hard to bear. Consequently the
Orifiamme, or widows veil, is special
1y manufactured of the lightest posi-
BILE material, its texture being as fine
as muslin, with the result that the
most gentle of breezes soon tear it to
pieces. Thus within a very short
space does the widow find herself
free to marry, and but few months
elapse before she has found someone
to console her and has again bound
herself with the golden bonds of mat
rimony.-New York Herald.

Plants That Shoot Arrows.

The arrows are crystal needles OF
oxalate of lime, of microscopic d;men-
sions, and are shot from minute cap
sule-shaped bodies, found in the tbs.
sues of such plants as the Indian tur-
nip and the POlynesian taro. DIR. H.
w. Wiley, chief of the Bureau OF
Chemistry at Washington, describes
the extraordinary spectacle he beheld
in the field of his microscope when
the bombs" contained in a drop of
taro pulp began to discharge their
arrows. Sometimes only one or two
needles, and sometimes groups OF
four to ten, were discharged at once,
the bomb recoiling as the projectiles
left it. DR.. Wiley suggests that the
intense burning and pricking expert
ence in chewing such plants as those
described are due to the release and
discharge of these crystal arrows
when the plant tissues are crushed in
the mouth,

in any form or la grippe. A course of Pc
runa is sure to correct all these conditions.
1t is an ideal spring medicine. Peruna
does not irritate-it invigorates. 1t does
not temporarily stimulate-it strengthens.
It equalizes the circulation of the blood,
tranquilizes the nervous system and regu-
lates the bodily functions. Peruna, unlike
so many spring medicines is not simply a
physic or stimulant or nervipe. It is q
natural tonic and invigorator.
If you do not receive prompt and satisfac-
tory results from the use of Peruna, write
at once to DIR. Hartman, giving a full
statement of your case, and he will be
pleased to give you his valuable advice
gratis.

Accident Did Little pamaoe.

When a train composed of about
fifteen cars of fast perishable freight
was approaching the yard limit near
Georgia, Vt, the train came suddenly
to a stop. The conductor went for
ward to ascertain what was wrong,
and found that one car had left the
train and went dawn a 40-foot en-
bankment. The car did no damage
to the rest of the train, and the
front and rear portions of the train
came together and coupled itself, and
he train proceeded to Georgia.

Tbs School Principal Talks About

The Principal of a High School in

For % years l worked in the school
with only short summer vacations.
/ formed the habit Of eating rapidly,
masticated poorly which coupled with
my sedentary work led to indigestion,
liver trouble, lame back and rheuma
tism.
Upon consulting physicians some
doped me with drugs, while others
prescribed dieting and sometimes
got temporary relief, other times not.
For IL years l struggled along with
this handicap to my work, seldom laid
up but often a burden to myself with
lameness and rheumatic pains.
1.-TWO years ago l met an old friend,
q physician who noticed at once my
out-of-health condition and who pre-
scribed for me an exclusive diet Of
Grape-Nuts, milk and fruit.
ct followed his instructions and in
two months felt like a new man with
no more headaches, rheumatism OF
liver trouble and from that time to
this Grape-Nuts has been my main
food for morning and evening meals.

old troubles.

physical and mental state tell my
people Methuselah may yet have to

Ways of Cairo MiIkmen.

One of the most curious customs
you notice in Cairo is observed by the
dairymen who deliver milk ION the
hoof," as it were. That is, they drive
their cows from house to house each
morning and serve their patrons
directly, so that an intermediary visit
to a pump is impossible A servant
comes out with a jar when he hears
the milkman's call and stands by
while his order is being filled direct

Sensational Occurrence at Trial.

Sensational incidents are not un.
common in the closing stages of fam
GUS criminal trials. One of the most
remarkable occurred recently in Mel
bourne, Australia, on the last day of
the trial of Ned Kelly, known to
thousands of Juvenile readers of pen
ny fiction, as the "ironclad bushrang-
er of Australia" A knife dropped
from a gallery overhead and fell at
the feet of the desperate in the dock.
He had every temptation to grab it
and put an end to his existence, for
there was not the slightest chance OF
his escaping the gallows. But it was
promptly picked up by a warder and
it's owner was arrested and brought
before the judge. He pleaded that
the occurrence was purely accidental
and this explanation was accepted BY
the court.

boot heels, glass alley, a pair of

to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 10c package con-
