This explains why Peruna has be-
come so popular. 1t cures catarrh.
This is an amply sufficient reason why
it should become popular.
Catarrh is almost universal. Catarrh
is difficult to cure. The doctors do not
care to treat cases of catarrh at all.
1t therefore follows that when q rem
edy is devised that can be used in the
home at moderate cost, such remedy
should inevitably become popular.

One reason why Pernna has
found permanent use in so many
homes is that 1t contains no mar

Peruna Is perfectly harmless. 1t

Our Greatest Arsenal.

During the Civil War Rock Island
was called into unexpected service At
the very outbreak of hostllities the
island suggested itself as suitable
place to care for the prisoners Of war,
and extensive barracks were construct
ed, with a hospital, officers quarters
and other necessary buildings. Over
10000 confederate prisoners were con-
fined there.
Horace was indeed wise when be
counseled to prepare for war in times
OF peace, but that advice was dlsre-
garded, and when, In 1898, war was
declared with Spain, 1t found us IN
prepared, but the Rock Island Arsenal
promptly responded to the call Tne
force of workmen was increased from
500 to nearly 5000, and the necessary
articles were poured out in like pro
portion. Even then 1t was ia days
before the soldiers could be mads
ready for action.
Had Spain been In position to take
advantage of the delay, our victory
might have been less decisive.
1t is not the object Of the arsenal
to encourage war, but to prepare Tor
it when 1t becomes inevitable; In me

pared for war Is the most effectual

ARAB PASHA.

In a little house up a by street
of the Mohammedan quarter, old,
fricndless, broken, lives the man
who might have ruled Egypt. If
you ask twenty people in Cairo to-
day, "Where is Arab Pasha?" fif-
teen will tell you that he is dead,
while the other five do not know.
In fact, after the bombardment of
Alexandria he was sent to exile for
life in Ceylon, but was allowed some
four years ago to return to his ma
tive city. 1t was only after weeks
hard ferreting that I discovered,
through a native journalist, the
whereabouts Of the great man. Even
now, in his SEVENTEEN year, he is
big man; in his prime he must have
been immense-white hair and
beard; a broad, thoughtful forehead,
surmounted by the Turkish tar
boosh; kindly eyes, dulled little by
age, but lighting up wonderfully
when he talks about things which
interest him; a straight, powerful
nose; a large mouth, which must
once have been hard and cruel, now
softened by adversely. Though the
day is warm, he wears an overcoat,
and he walks heavily on massive
ebony stick. Pail Mall Gazette.

Time on the Wilma.

Justice Brewer of the United
States supreme court in lecturing
to his law class at the George Wash
ington university told the follow
ing story:
81 knew of a case once where
two darkies snapped mules. One of
them was an old hand at the bust
ness, and in making the trade he
represented his mule to be seven
years old and told Of many good
traits the animal had not. This was
in February. About two months
later the other darby began to real
ize that he had been victimized in
the bargain and that the beast was
fully twelve years old. So he de-
cided to go back and tell the swim
dler he had lied to him about the
animal. However, owing to it being
the busy season Of farming he was
not able to go until about the mid
die of June. He finally did go and
told his man what he thought of
his rascally misrepresentation about
the mule.
"You say" said the other fellow,
"dat when you got de mule in Feb
ruary he was seven years old, and
now it's June and he's twelve years
old2"

Parks For the Future.

One of the many signs of an
awakened civic intelligence is the
way American communities are elab-
Grating the park idea and diversity
ing their public spaces. Within about
dozen years they have learned that
there may be places where a vacant
public square can be put to better
use even than sodding it down in
greensward. They are FESTIVE I'M
der the slavery of the "Keep OFF the
Grass" sign. They are not so keen
as they were to erect statuary, es-
planades, terraces and ornamental
fountains in their park areas. When
nature has arrived at a good effect
in a rocky ledge, grove Of noble
trees or a rolling meadow, they are
often content to let it alone.-New

Secondhand Mail Boxes.

The man who was spending his
summer vacation in the country was
looking quizzically at the mail
boxes in the rural postoffice.
81 did not know this was such a
large place." he said. 81 thought it
had a population of only about
1000, but the mail box numbers
run much higher than that, and l
don't suppose every one in town
rents box either"
The postmaster peered out of his
little barred window.
81 can explain that" he said.
"'You see, the country postofices
never get new boxes, but we have
those left over when the city estab-
ishments make over their Offices
and get new boxes. So you see lots
of country places are bound to have
high numbered boxes.
although our numbers run over
1000, you won't find any less than
1000. Some other country post
office drew the lower ones. my
self had rather get the big numbers,
for it makes us seem like bustling

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Mater and Soap Treatment For Limo
leum Covered Floors.

louH SoNoEod ElOoIhs
Clean linoleum floors with luke
warm water and soap. Don't sweep
them, says the New York Telegram.
Lukewarm water should always be
hsed for this washing, and the soap
should be selected with care, for
none but the purest kinds can be
used without injuring the material
and fading the colors.
Scrubbing is necessary once a
week, and if the apartment is much
used and the floor gets dirty wash
ing twice a week is none too often,
for gritty dirt if not removed cuts
into the linoleum and in time wears
it, so that cleaning is essential in
preserving this covering as well as
in keeping it sanitary,
To clean thoroughly a stiff bris-
tied brush should be used to work
the tepid water and soap into the
pores and scrub out the dirt. Cleans
ing in this way the floor is done in
sections that are mopped up with
cotton cloth and then Immediately
rubbed dry with wooden rag. Limo
leum should be dried as soon as pos
sible after being scrubbed, for wa
ter left standing on it has tenden-
cy to dull the colors and to make
the material sort of soggy.

of the roads; whereas, if they were
improved to considerable extent
the influx of summer visitors would
soon grow to enormous proportions,
1t takes so little to make good roads.
The material is at hand, and it does
not require very heavy outlay. The
people Of Vermont are asleep to their
opportunities.
"This statement is undoubtedly
true, but it is also true that, under
the leadership of State Highway Com
missioner Gates, Vermont is making
marked progress in the direction of
good roads, and the effect of the cru
SADIE inaugurated under him by the
road commissioners in different parts
of the state is already making itself
felt. Meetings are being held through

Care of Bath Sponges.

When the regulation salt water
sponges need cleaning the best plan
to cut the dirt is to soak them in
vinegar for several hours and then
run clean warm water through
them until the acid is all out. They
should then be hung in the sun
shine where they will air and dry.
After each bath sponge should be
washed out with clean hot water
and soap and rinsed with cold water,
then put in a place where the air
and sunshine surround it, for unless
sponges are well aired they become
sour and disagreeable to use.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Little Girls Delightful Anticipation

More Than Realized.
This is the story they tell of a
cunning little five-year-old girl
whose nurse had been promising her
oil summer a little coon doll when
the family reached the city if she
would be very good and obedient.
This was a delightful promise, and
the little girl was as good as a little
five-year-old could be. Then the
family came back to the city a lit
tie earlier than usual, and some-
thing interesting happened "a
brand new baby came to the house.
1t was a funny, red faced little
creature, which only loving moth
err and experienced nurse could pos
sibly consider beautiful, but it was
a great thing for the little girl, who
had never before in her short life
seen a real live baby.
"There is a great surprise for
you," said the nurse, taking the
fve-year-old upstairs, where the lit
tie new sister was lying snuggled up
under a canopy Of muslin and rib
bons. "What-do you think of that2"
she continued, lifting the little girl
so that she could see the funny little
face on the white pillow. And the
little girl was as much pleased as
every one had expected she would
be. She gave the nurse a big hug
as she cried:

King Edward,s Fast Clocks.

During the season the platform
of the station for Sandringham is
now and again occupied by bands
of people who complain angrily that
they are half an hour too soon for
their train. They have not discov-
cred in time that all the clocks at
Sandringham are kept half an hour
fast. This is a curious fancy which
the king shares with several of his
friends-Lord Pembroke, for in
stance, whose clocks at Wilton
House are all half an hour fast. At
no place, however, is the scheme
carried out more thoroughly than at
Sandringham, where all the clocks
in the house, stables and kennels,
and even the church clock, are kept
exactly half an hour fast.-London
