PELVIC CATARRH WAS
DESTROYING HER LIFE.
PE.RV-NA SAVED HER.

Miss Maria Ducharme, 1872 st. Eliza
beth street, Montreal, Can, writes:

women suffer because they do not real
ize how bad they really need treat
ment and feel a natural delicacy in
consulting a physician.
Il felt badly for years, had terrible
pains, and at times was unable to at
tend to my daily duties. tried to cure
myself, but finally my attention was
called to an advertisement of Peruna in
a similar case to mine, and l decided to
give it trial.
'My Improvement began as soon as
I started to use Peruna and soon 1 was

rings" Sing Hpoo, turning somer-
saul, stretched out his tiny body
rigidly in the manner adopted by
every gymnast when showing his
PAGES.
Sing Hpoo's accomplishments are
not, however, confined to acrobatio
tricks. He is a good linguist, for he
speaks English well, German fluently
and French slightly, not to mention
his native Burmese.
Perhaps the most amazing thing
about Sing Hpoo is the fact that his
appetite is not at all in proportion to
his size. He is accustomed to sit
down with ordinary mortals and eat
just as much as any one at the table.
For breakfast he likes three or four
eggs, and as a pick-me-up he is accus-
toned to swallow a couple Of dozen
oysters at sitting. He eats large
quantity OF meat, but is not fond Of
potatoes or other vegetables.
Among his treasured possessions Is
a gold bracelet slightly larger than a
wedding ring, which he wears round
his little brown wrist. 1t was given
to him by Miss Loie Fuller. an Amer
lean dancer.

Smaun Sing Hpoo, the smallest ath-
lete in the world, is the latest wonder
India has sent to London, says a spe-
cial to the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
He is % years of age. His height is
81 inches. his chest measurement 22h
inches, his hip measurement also 2212
inches, and his fighting weight twenty
pounds.
Sing Hpoo, unlike the ordinary
dwarf, is exceedingly well developed
and symmetrically built. He wears
an immaculate frock coat some fifteen
inches in length, a pair of daintily cut
trousers. fancy vest, perfectly cor

to fit over the fist of az ordinary

All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rail
way when he says: There Is no d.
vision of opinion as to the desirability
of stopping all secret or unjustly dis
criminatory devices and practises OF
whatsoever character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking OF "un-
Justly discriminatory" rates and de-
vices, makes a distinction which Is at
once apparent to common sense. There
may be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex COM
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal. To abolish such open and
honest discrimination might paralyze
the industries Of cities, states and
whole sections of our national terri
tory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions of the Inter
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based on CONNER
cial principles, taking into account the
special conditions which bear upon the
commercial value of the services rem
dered. With the reservation that rates
shall be charged without arbitrary dis
elimination to all shippers alike under
like conditions, the making OF rates
should as far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit the devel-
opment of the traffic and to produce the
greatest results to the public and to the
railroads themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr..
Walker d. Hines of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention Of
some government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase 'the tempta-
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent COM
mercial condition. New York Sun.

According to dispatches from San
Francisco Capt Ronald Amundsen
has discovered the northwest passage.
If so, he has finished the labors of
hardy sailors and other explorers for
centuries past. 1t was the commercial
instinct that led to the first great voy-
ages of discovery. This instinct had
two phases. One was to extend the
limits Of the northern fisheries. The
is estimated to have added over $780,
1000 to the wealth of the world in
the 200 years before the middle of
the nineteenth century. The other
phase Of the commercial instinct was
the desire to shorten the water route
and the rich orient. The era of sci
entific research in polar exploration
did not begin until the last half of the
nineteenth century. The humanitari-
an spirit that led many expeditions
to engage in the search for Sir John
Franklin resulted in enormous addi-
tons to the worlds knowledge of
those regions.
John Davis in 1888 succeeded in
reaching what is now Godthaab,
Greenland, and his three voyages
gave the first great impulse toward the
northwest passage. There followed
succession of brave men, each of
whom added something to what was
already known, and then in the last

THE BIG COCOA PALM.
Grow In Salty Soil, Defying HurrI-
canes of the Tropics.


The cocoanut means a great deal
to the West Indian negro, says
Country Life. A dark-skinned man
ran lightly up the tall stem, with
suspiciously prehensile feet, stopping
at the fruit cluster to select and pull
off a great nut, which he tossed to
the ground. l examined it with Gu
riosity. for it was little enough like
the cocoanut of the stores in the
north. A smooth green covering,
hard, impervious to anything but a
heavy knife-no wonder the cocoa
palm spreads among these islands!
Boat-shaped, in a sense; light enough
to float easily, the big seed is always
ready for a sea voyage. Cast ashore
on sandy beach, it quickly germin-
ates and holds fast in the salty soil,
soon growing to its estate OF beauty
and fruitfulness and able to defy the
hurricanes of the tropics.
Restful as were the isolated cocoa
palms, it was not until / came upon
real grove of them that l could
fully appreciate the tropical latitude.
A visit to "Crusoe beach," fringed by
the great palms, hanging full Of heavy
nuts, with liberty to wander where
the sandy ground-it was winter.
mind you!-was covered, not with
fallen leaves of oak and beech, but
with great fronds eight or ten feet
long dropped from the clean-stemmed

this took away the last memory Of
the ice-bound and coal-smoked north.

Long Sought Passage Found

century, in the '40s, came the i'll.
fated expedition of Sir John Franklin.
Franklin had two ships and 129 men.
Years after his departure a member
of McClintock's party found, in 1859,
records which showed that the Frank
lin ships had been abandoned April %,
1S48, Franklin and twenty-three 9TH
ers having previously died. And los
men had persisted in an attempt to
reach Fish river. Their route Is
marked by graves and skeletons and
the whole party practically van
ished from human knowledge. The
last search for news of Franklin was
made in 1888 by F. Schwatka and
w. II. Glider, who in King William 8
Land found many skeletons and relics.
The northwest passage successfully
resisted all attempts at discovery.
Much easier was the northeast pas
sage. AS in the case of the northwest
passage, men began looking for it
soon after the discovery Of America.
Two of the earliest English explor-
ers were Willoughby and Chancellor
who in 1853 opened Archangel bay.
Later the Russians took up the mat
ter 1t was Adolf Erik Nordenskjold,
