WHEN MILEsroNEs CHEER.
They Always GLADDEN. the Heart Of
the Pedestrian.

In a walking trip milestone along
the way is the most companionable
fellow in the world; your spirits rise
as you near him as though you were
about to greet human friend, and
they keep almost consistently on his
high level till his brother mile dis
tant advances to meet you.
And when you overlook one of this
friendly company because of an en-
croaching bank or screening boughs,
says the Travel Magazine, his neigh
Dor further on comes to you doubly
welcome. At the latter end of this
passage in the journey your spirits
flag tribe as though oppressed by
sense OF desertion. You may even
scowl at the overhanging bank which
is more than a party to this conceal
ment.
Those worthy persons who attend to
the roads should see to it that every
milestone within their province stands
out frankly from it's leafy background.
Observance of this, however would
rob the wayfarer of that leap of the
heart which is his when the stone
tells the story of two miles done rather
than one. For however much the land
scape and the minute world at his feet
may claim the footfarers admiration
he is still keenly alive to the virtue
of decent distances covered in his
days journey.

Experiences, Joys and Sorrows Of the
Human Existence.

The loves and friendships OF indi-
viduals partake of the frail character
of human life, and are brief and un-
certain. The experience of human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and a good deal OF sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence, bending over us in bless
ings, glads the heart almost to mad
ness; many dismal Fridays, when the
smoke of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like a charnel house filled with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the individual life-a cloud.
a vapor, passes away.-Matthew Hale
Carpenter.

Cave Which the Indians DECORATED.

Two gold prospectors recently dis
covered in the Santa Susanna noun
tains, about so miles from Los An
geles, Cal, the largest and most re-
markable cave in western America.
While looking for indications of gold
they found an opening which they en-
tered. The opening led to a great
cavern, consisting of many passages,
some of them wide but most of them
narrow and lofty. The passages lead
into great halls, some containing an
acre, studded with stalagmites and
stalactites, in some cases so thickly
that it is difficult to get through.
The walls of one of these halls are
covered with rude drawings, some al
most obliterated but others still clear.
The drawings represent incidents Of
the chase, showing Indians on foot
pursuing bear, deer and other animals
One wall painting shows the bear pur-
suing the hunter. The work is done
with a soft, red stone much used by
the Indians for that purpose.-Scien-
tific American.

superstltlon and Fear.

Men would never be superstitious If
they could govern all their circum-
stances by set rules, or if they were
always favored by fortune; but being
frequently driven into straits where
rules are useless, and being often kept
fiuctuating pitiably between hope and
fear by the uncertainty of fortunes
greedily coveted favors. they are con-
sequently, for the most part, very
prone to credulity. The human mind
is readily swerved this way or that in
times of doubt, especially when hope
and fear are struggling for the mas
terry; though usually 1t is boastful,
overconfident and vain.-Benedict Spi-

The two children were happy as the
DAY was long. In the late afternoon
they watched the COWS come home,
heard with delight the tinkling cow
bells, and the little boy even went to
the barns to see the milking done.

WHAT is PE-RU-NA?
Is 1t a Catarrll Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruna o great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are rightl
Is it more proper to call Peruna ca
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic9
Our reply Is, that Peruna is both a
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh rem
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case of catarrh, q remedy must not
only have specific action on the mu-
cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but it must have general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is a weakened con-
dition of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital foroea
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff
cacy of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
Joined with CUBEBS and C0PAIBA a
trio Of medical agents is formed in Pc
runa which constitutes a specific rem
edy for catarrh that in the present
state of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, REIN
forced by such renowned tonics as
C0LLINSONIA CANADENSIS, COR
YDALIS F0RM0SA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, there.
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use Of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this Judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms a well-grounded the.
ory the result is a truth that cannot be
shaken.

If woman's work is as good as
that of man she will receive equal
recognition-even more prompt recog-
milton, for men are surprised when
we have the courage to compete with
them and more quickly recognize our
ability. They are not the tyrants some
would make them, but kind and good
and generous to us if they are made
to feel that we are not simply posing
but are really seriously in earnest.
There are, no doubt, some few men
who are narrow-minded and unjust

tions of woman, but If her work bear
the stamp of genius, like truth, it will
not be downed.

Every one can marry, but not all
can model. Not that l discourage
matrimony-an institution so noble
in itself-but it is distinctly not con-
ducive to development in art. Hus-
bands naturally are jealous of any
other love, and a mothers heart
yearns more tenderly over her real
than her clay children. Little ones de-
mand constant attention, and there is
work enough in house, be the serv-
ants never so plentiful, to absorb the
constant attention of a woman and

her put her whole soul into her work.
If she can afford it, let her engage
experienced teachers that she may
profit by their experience, and let her
follow every advantage that means
will procure But If she cannot afford
these helps, let her take the clay in
her own untutored hands and work
out her own salvation.
There is certainly nothing unwom-

The field of sculpture for women is
unlimited, but the workers are few,

talent-a genius for ito enter the

There must be no mistake about
this. Mediocrity will not do. Indus
try and application will not do. Per-
severance will not do. The only rea-
son for men or women trying to fol
low sculpture as profession is that
they are so irresistibly impelled
toward it and impressed with their
own ability that they cannot possibly
resist the impulse to model in clay.
Many girls have sought advice on
this subject, asked how they could
know if they had marked ability or
talent, and also, desiring to be sculp-
tors, what method l would suggest,
what teachers recommend? At these
questions l have sometimes lost my
temper and told them that they could
soon find out by shutting themselves
up with. some clay and seeing what
they could evolve from the crude ma
terial. l have told them that, like
love, this knowledge comes not by
appointment, but at some unexpected
corner it springs forth" A good way
the only way to test the matter
would be to take some common pot
ter's clay Qt seems almost sacred to
me)-and if, alone and unaided, they
cannot instantly bring forth some
thing beautiful or artistic from its
weird depths, where statutes lie i'm
prisoned, then let them come forth
from that room, leaving hope be-
hind" and let them then and there
forever abandon all idea of being
sculptors and following in the foot

The field for art is broadening every
year. Our forefathers had no time or
means for these luXuries, for luxuries
they certainly are, not necessities.
Wealth is accumuiating and the rich
like to surround themselves with
beautiful and costly things. People
of refinement and culture try to sat
isfy for themselves this thirst for ele-
CANT and artistic surroundings. Even
the very poor yearn for them and in
their squalid homes of poverty gaudy
prints and cheap plaster casts of i'm
possible figures adorn their walls,
attesting to their desire-their reach
ing out-for something beyond, bet
ter than the toll and monotony of
their daily lives. Their tastes are
slowly becoming educated, and the
public schools, great factor in this
cause, on a broader and more gener-
GUS plan than of old, are gradually
advancing art in the minds of the
working people. The once barren
walls of the public schools are now
illuminated with the finest engravings
and photographs of celebrated paint
ings and their halls are adorned with
casts of treasured statutes of ancient
art.

recognize their worth.
Every surrounding of art is refined
and its atmosphere pure. A woman's
touch is as delicate, her eye as true
and her hand as firm as that of
man. Yet it is not the delicate touch,
the true eye, that speaks the artist.
The workmen who reproduce beauti-
full statutes in marble have that. 1t
is not these things that bespeak the
grand result. 1t Is the seeing of these
things in the minds eye before they
have taken shape in the clay. 1t is
being able to feel these things in ad-
vance, as the poet feels In his soul
his verses, as the orator feels his
theme, waxing him eloquent to move
the hearts of others. We must feel
deeply ourselves to reach others, and
to bring forth work of art it must
be in our minds to conceive it first
before emancipating it from the silent
clay. Themes of beauty and of grace
must chase each other through the
brain
The mind must be filled with noble
purposes and beautiful shadows, ideal
forms, majestic. noble groups waiting
to be set free. All of these must
hover around and inspire the artist,
even though he or she may never
have the means to carry any of them
out to perfection in the marble or
the bronze The artists greatest work
is often being done when his model
ing tools lie idle-when he sits ap-
parently idle, "brooding over his
theme" sometimes for weeks, for
months. Beside this work which is
being done by the brain, the mind,
the soul, the working out in the clay
seems to be almost mechanical.
