lam glad to write my endorse
menf of the great remedy, Peruna,
as q nerve tonic. | do SO most
heartily. "--Jujia MarIOWe.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodIess for want of
proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring a host of invalids
are produced as the direct result Of weak
nerves. ': -.
This can be easily obyiated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the
difficulty by correcting the digestion.

Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
| nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of Life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves, and thus nourishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among
women, especially those who have voca.
tons that are trying to the nerves.
Peruna furnishes the lasting vigog
for the nerves that such people need.
Thousands Of testimonials from
women in all parts of the United States
are being received every year. Such
unsolicited evidence surely proves that
Peruna is without an equal as . nerve
tonic and vital invigorator.

WATCHING THE BUILDERS,
Fire Insurance Folks Keep an Eye
 on Construction Methods.

A builder speaking of the watchful- ness of fire insurance companies in New York city in the erection of build ings in that city says:
 "Insurance companies ill placing poli- cies upon so called fireprOOf buildings do not accept the word of the builders and contractors, nor rest content with the evidence submitted by the city building department. Their own ex- perts make an examination. Such an examination is made not at the behest of politicians or in the interest of a group of men, but by technical experts whose reports must be exact, detailed and exhaustive in the interests of Shrewd business men. The insurance underwriters have their own corps of expert engineers and fireproof agents in the field all of the time. When a large building is in course of con- struction in New York these experts of the underwriters watch every stage of the development. They have no power to stop work on the building as city building inspectors have when the building laws are not complied with but they possess another sort of check which is fully as effectual. The build CTS, contractors or owners, or all three are notified that further insurance poli- cies will not be made on the building until certain remedies are made"- Pittsburg Press.

EnrrfnEs.

Earrings have always been among the most favorite ornaments of nearly all the nations of the world, certainly with those which are called civilized Indeed among the Persians, Babyloni- ans and Carthaginians they were worn by men as well as women. They were always worn by Greek women from Hera in the "Iliad" down to the Venus de Medici, whose ears were pierced for the reception of earrings. Pliny tells us that there was no part of dress upon which greater expense was lavished among the Romans. Many Egyptian earrings of very beautiful design have been preserved, and these antique de signs have been initiated in modern times

AN EcHo.
How to Measure the Distance From
 Which It Is Reflected.


 There is scarcely anything in nature that exerts the fascination over every one alike than does an echo. and com mon as it may become there is always a feeling of mystery about it that holds us as with a charm. Of course we all know that 1t is merely the reflection of a sound from some object, as the side of a house or rock or hill. but often we cannot tell how far away the object is that causes it. Here is way to tell every time:
 Holding a watch in your hand, shout a single syllable, as "Hop' or "Hay and count the number of seconds from the time you shout till the sound comes back to you. Now. sound travels at the rate of 1,125 feet d second, so the number of seconds that clapse multi piled by 1,l25 will give the distance in feet travelled by the voice in going to the object and back to you again, and One-half Of that number will be the number of feet away that object is. Of course the object may be only few hundred feet away, in which case the sound will come back in less than second. but you may determine the distance, nevertheless, by calling a single syllable -"HaP'-and calling it again as you hear the echo, not before or after it, but just with it.
 With little practice you can do this Repeat the call ten or twelve times counting the seconds between the first call and the last echo. Suppose, for example, that the time is seven sec Onds and that you called the syllable ten times. Then each echo took seven tenths of a second, and the distance found in the same way as before, is about 304 et.-EXchange.
