"Had you seen me at the time Of my

All colds, coughs, bronchitis, 1aryngi-
It's and tonsilitis should be treated 40

The success of Peruns In relieving
these cases entirely depends upon tho
fact that Peruna is q catarrh remedy.

pROBABLY every case OF consump-
! ton begins with cold.
Consumption is generally classed as
hereditary disease. but consumption
is not hereditary.
A constitutional weakness is inherited
which renders one liable to consump-

Even people who have strong lungs
may acquire consumption from o cold.

FAvoRs SUNDAY LAWS.
DR.. Nicholson Addresses Preachers
Association on the Topic.

=
Rev. DR.. Nicholson of Trinity M. e.
Church addressed meeting OF the Preas-
ers. Association at the Y. NJ. C. A. yester-
dav During the course of his remarks he
said. s.The right of the government to
enact Sunday laws for the preservation of
Sunday as a rest day Is an established prin-
c,ple in our history as a people. In all Of
the states and territories of the Union, with
the exception Of Alaska, Arizona, Cali
fornia and the District OF Columbia, Sunday
laws are upon the statute bocks-an ex-
preston of the deliberate judgment of the
sovereign people upon this subject The
laws have been declared constitutional by
the supreme courts of twenty-five states in
which the principle was put to test.
cit is sometimes urged as an objection
to the enactment OF the sunday laws that
they contravene the provisions OF the Con-
stitution In which 1t is stated, Congress
shall make no laws respecting an establish
ment of religion prohibiting the free ex-
ercise thereof This clause had a definite
prohibition against the establishment of
state religion. The men OF that time were
familiar with the embarrassments and I'M
pediments of state religion. The provision
an alliance of government and church, but
1t does not follow that the state Is indif-
ferent to religion and its institutions.
1.-THE Constitution recognizes Sunday as a
rest day in that the President Is granted
his Sunday for rest, for If any bill shall
not be returned by the President within ten
days, Sunday excepted, after it shall have
been presented to him the same shall be a
law
After further discussion of the subject out
| lining decisions OF chancelors of the various
courts of the country on the question, with
several opinions delivered by members OF
| the Supreme Court of the United States
DIR. Nicholson said: "rhe welfare of tht
| public demands that careful provision shall
be made for securing such day to the
meat

WOMEN WHO LIVED AS MEN.
Instances in Which the Deception Was
Kept Up for Years.

From Tit-Bits
DIR. James Barry, who lies buried in Ken
sal Green cemetery, was a wonderful In
stance of successful concealment of sex.
At an early stage she fell IN love with an
army surgeon, to follow whose fortunes
she assumed the dress of the opposite sex
and entered the army as hospital assistant.
She displayed such ability that she rose
until she was given the post of inspector
general of the army medical department.
Slight of form and of dark complexion,
her general bearing and conversation dis
played an almost feminine refinement. A
favorite with the men on account of her
humanity, her quarrelsome temper by no
means endeared her to the officers, and
served her in such bad stead that once
she was obliged to fight duel, from which
adventure she fortunately emerged scath-
less. She died in 1865, at the age OF sew
enty.
A female soldier who In 1889 was buried
at Chelsea Hospital with military honors,
was Christian Davies, better known as
Mother Ross She served for twelve years
in the Earl of Orkneys regiment being
present at the battle of Donawert, where
she received a musket ball in her hip, and
at the engagement of Families. where she
