habit of life.
The more he observed, though, the
less he understood, for the cetacean
displayed no anxiety about the harpoon
that seemed to issue directly from his
sacral vertebrae. There was no ,plung-

one Of the great mammals was going to
execution. Then the schSoners let draw
their jibs and filled away slowly up
the beach, broadside to- broadside, with
the unusual beast still between them,

six or seven knots.
Now our observer didn't care mucl}

sun sank into the Jersey meadows, he
pulled over toward the amphibian. He
had no exalted hopes of gaining jngress
to the wonderful craft, but as he
ranged alongside a cheerful voice
hailed him and he stepped aboard.

Almost every body needs tonic in the

invigorate the brain, and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this is be-

We have on file thousands of letters
which testify to the curative and pre-
ventive value of Peruna in cases of
nervous depression and run down con-
ditions of the system. We quote a
typical case:

The best time to cut flowers to keep
well is in the early morning before the
suns rays have reached them. A knife
or a pair of scissors should always be
used to clip them off. as they should

and never broken off. Flowers that are
