The soldier and the sailor are es-
pecially subject to catarrh. In the bar
racks and on the field, Peruna is found
equally efficacious to overcome this
physical enemy. If taken in time, IL
will prevent colds from developing into
catarrh. Even after a cold has settled
in some organ of the body, Peruna can.
be relied upon as an efiicacious remedy
to promptly overcome it.
Peruna will relieve catarrh. whether
acute or chronic. but few doses Of Il
taken in the first stages of the disease
will be more effective than when the
disease has become established.

Tell me. Popsie, just once more,
What did you do when you went to
warp
And then I tell of the autumn day
When the Forty-seventh marched away;
How Cromwell died at Jackson town,
And Miles on Corinth field went down.
"But how many rebels. tell me true.
Did you kill then, and the whole war
through"
And l tell him then, with eager zest.
How 10 Reed blew up a Timber chest.
But the Major sticks to his question
still,
How many rebels did you kill?"
So tell me how, near the set of sun.
The charge was made and the battle
won.
And how, the day Mcclure was shot
When Vicksburg's fight was fierce and
hot,
Brave Sam Law took c company in
Through fame and smoke and the bat
teries din;
How over our heads the battle broke,
With screaming Shell and saber stroke.
And he wanted TO know, the little elf,
But how many men did you kill your
self?"
Say, tell me. Popsie, say you will
How many rebels did you kill?
So 1 told him the truth. as near az
might be
As many of them as they did of me-

JAvA's ISLAND OF FIRE.
1t IL Really Lake of Boiling, Bub-
bling Mud and Slime.

The greatest natural wonder in Java.
II not in the entire world, is the justly
celebrated "Gheko Kamdla Gumko,"
or 'Home of the Hot DEVILS" known
to the world as the Island of Fire
This geological singu!arity Is really
lake Of boiling mud situated Mt about
the center Of the plains Of Grobogana
and Is called an island because the
great emerald sea of vegetation which
surrounds it gives it that appearance.
The "island" is about two miles in cir
conference, and is situated at dis
lance Of almost exactly fifty miles
from Solo. Near the center Of this
geological freak immense columns of
soft, hot mud may be seen continually
rising and falling like great timbcrs
thrust through the boiling substratum
by giant hands and the again quickly
withdrawn. Besides the phenomenon
of the boiling mud columns there are
scores of gigantic bubbles of hot slime
that fill up like huge balloons and keep
up series of constant explosions, the
intensity of the detonations varying
with the size of the bubble. In time
past, so the Javanese authorities say,
there was tall sprelike column OF
baked mud on the west edge of the
lake which constantly belched pure
stream of cold water, but this has long
been obliterated, and everything is
now seething mass of bubbling mud
and slime.

EYEGLASSES.
How to Put Them ON and Take Them
on Properly.

on Properly.
There Is nothing which more com
pletely changes the effect of pair of
eyeglasses than the habit of crowding
them on the nose With one hand The
best efforts at fitting and adjusting are
all brought to naught by Il person who
has acquired that habit.
The proper way to take OF glasses
is to take hold Of the bridge and lift
off gently without dragging or pulling
out of shape. 10 take Off spectacles
take hold of the right temple with the
right hand and lift it off the ear. Then
turn the head to the right and the left
temple will full off easily.
The average wearcr of glasses when
he Is cleaning them takes hold of the
bridge. The consequence Is that he
gradually works the bridge out OF
shape, and every rub he gives the lens
gives a twist to the bridge, and in
course of time the bridge or the lens
breaks when he least expects it. There
are probably more glasses broken in
this way than any other.
The correct way to clean them Is to
take hold of one of the eye pieces
where the glass is screwed on the outer
edge and clean the lens, and then re
verse the glasses, take it by the other
end piece and repeat the process on
that lens.

BLACK GOVERNORS.
a Curious Piece of Old Time Con aect-
lieut. History.

1
] y book little known even to collect
ors of Americana is II volume entitled
Hartford In the Ollen Time; Its First
Thirty Years. by scacva. which was
edited by w. NJ. u. Hartley and pub
lisheil at Hartford in 1888. There is n
chapter in this book entitled 1.-The
Blaci, Governors of Connecticut" the
very title OF which will excite the sur
prise of most intelligent people even in
Gonncctcut who have never heard Of
I amy black governors in the Nutmeg
State except the governors OF an oppo-
site political faith who were. of course,
politically black. The title. however. Is
explained and justified by IL little ex-
Iplanation. Before the Revolution and
down to II period as late as 1890 II was
the custom for the negroes living in
the state to hold an election on the Sat
ur,lay succeeding the regular election
day. choosing one of their number as
governor. Sometimes, however, no
election was held, the retiring governor
Iussignin, his Office to another. The
man chosen in either ease was usually
"of imposing presence. strength. firm
ness and volublity, quick to decide.
ready to command and quick to fog"
He appointed II stat of military and
judicial officers, who executed his or
|dcrs IN all matters pcrt;tini.l, to col
ured people. especially questions per-
taiaiu. to morals. manners and cere-
monies
The fact that lie had no legal status
in the province OF state Gid not ut all
trouble him Or his subjects. and lie up
pears to have exercised Il very real
power. nearly always on the side of
morality and justice. The justices of
the peace appointed by these black
governors were, us rule, extremely
severe IN punislin. people of their
own color who transsrcsscd the law.
SO generally was this recognized by
the whites in colonial times that when
u slave committed some otfcnse 1t was
the custom to turn him over to the
bl"ck Justice for punishment. Such IL
culprit always Jared much worse ti:an
ii lie had been tried by the regular
courts.
Among the more notable colored men
who held the Office of governor were:
Q"aw, Il negro belonging to Colonel
George Wyilys; Peles Mott, who be-
lon.ed to Colonel jeremiah Wads-
worth; Boston, belonging to Mr.. Mich
olas; Holm Anderson and Cuff. who
held the Office for ten years. After the
abolition Of slavery in Connecticut the
custom fell into disuse
