Like most apes he delights in chill

BEAT THE DUMB.RELL RECORD.
American Puts It Up $4,000 Times In
Less Than Three Hours.

An American, Anthony Mckinley,
has made remarkable showing with
dumb-bells in Belfast, Ireland. He
gave the exhibition in the billiard
room of the Boyd Lrms Hotel with a
twelve-pound one and one-fourth
ounce dumb-bell, shoulder to arms
length above shoulder, one hand, and
succeeded in putting it up 10000
times in two hours tifty-seven min
utes and fifty seconds, at the rate of
ninety times per minute, regular
throughout, with one or two over ev-
cry time the counter called out, and
often more. The dumb-bell was
weighed at starting and finishing in
the presence of all, and the total
weight amounts to 1854 pounds.
The previous best with this weight, a
twelve-pound dumb-bell, was by A.
Corcoran Of Chicago, which was also
the greatest total weight ever put up,
when, on October 4, 1873, he put it up
$4,000 times, time not stated, or a to.
tai of 10000 pounds.

burn" nausea and "water brash,"
tlatulency, and acrid quotations; the
bowels become irregular, usually con-

The foregoing symptoms are not all
present IN any one case, nor are any

The only way to help a disordered

Groesbeeck Journal: Four railroad
damage suits were disposed of at
the present term Of court, in two OF
which, the only cases contested, the
railroad won before the jury. The
other two were not tried, but com
promised. 1t is beginning to look as
though the old-time prejudice against
the railroads and other corporations
is disappearing. Much of this is due
to the work Of the newspapers that
have been diligent in their efforts to.
ward directing public sentiment to the
great injustice that has been meted
out to the railroads through the me-
dunn of the damage suit industry.
Justice will triumph in the end. The
old theory that whatever could be
gOuged off railroad company was
legitimate spoil had its foundation in
immortality and prejudice. Good jul
rors will not knowingly assist in the
spoliation of a great corporation any
more than they will help in any other
kind of robbery.-Dallas News.

Pe.ru.na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can
be used any length of time without &C.
quiring drug habit. Peruna does not
produce temporary results 1t is perma-
nent in it's effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such thing could not be possible if
Peruna contained any drugs of a mar
cotic nature.

Like all other shops in japan, a
shoe shop opens a broad side to the
street.
1t seems a misnomer to call it shoe
shop, place where you can only buy
sandals or clogs, things we are not
accustomed to call shoes.
There is low platform in front
upon which the customer sits and
drinks tea while making his or her
purchases, the shopkeeper meanwhile
squatting on his heels and discussing
the news Of the day.
The sandals worn by the rickshaw
coolies are called waraf; they are
woven of rice straw, and are sold for
a halfpenny pair. They are made in
the country villages, and the foreigner
watches the weaving with amused in
terest.
The prehensible big toe of a Japa'
nese is of great assistance, as it is
used for catching and holding the
straws, leaving the hands free to
weave.
The pack horse wears straw shoes

New pairs are strung around the high

THE liver is the great filtering ap-
paratus of the authoritative, or
digestive, system. 1t filters the
poison-loaded bile out of the blood.
When the liver lacks active capacity
to do this work, then the bile passes
through into the general circulation
and begins its poisonous work.
Through the circulation of the blood
it is disseminated throughout the body,
gradually sapping the strength, cloud
ing the brain, weighing down the ener-
gies, weakening the hearts action, in
fecting and undermining the system.
Eventually the poison begins to accu-
mulate at the skin, the kidneys, the
bronchial tubes, or the lungs, until at
last it settles and fastens itself at some
point, which location may be far away
from the liver; yet it is stagnation or
congestion of the liver which is the inn
mediate cause of the whole trouble.
