Copy OF Rare Bible,

In Wolfenbuttel, Hesse. Germany,
is an old bible which is greatly treas.
ured. In that passage In Gene.
sis where God told Eve that
Adam shall be her master and shall
rule over her, the German translation
is "Und er soil diem herr sein." Herr.
which means master, does not occur
In this bible, but instead there APP
pears the word "narr." which means
fool. The error was caused by quar-.
rel between the printer and his wife
in the year 1880. The wife was venge.
full and in the silent watches OF the
night she entered the room where her
husband had been setting type and
maliciously changed herr" into
MARI" The printer was arrested az.
ter the book had been printed and
the mistake discovered; but his APP
prentice testified that he saw the wife
steal into the composing room and al.
ter the word The woman was i'm.
prsoned for blasphemy and died in
prison. Orders were given that all
the copies of the edition should be
destroyed. THIS was done, with the
exception of the one copy in the Wolf.

Occasional reflection upon this great

NO STAIN ON HIS RECORD.
That's Where the Driver Had the Best
Of the Preacher.

A New York clergyman, who often
spends his vacation in fishing the
streams of the. Adlrondacks. was on
one trip adopted by a handsome set
ter dog, which insisted on following
him from camp to camp, as he moved
along the stream.
One day he met a party of men
working upstream with native guide
The guide Immediately recognized the
dog as his own property.
Trying to steal my setter, are
you?" he shouted at the clergyman.
I'll have you TO jail for thisl There's
law in the woods just as big as you
have in the city,
The clergyman endeavored 20 ex-
plain that he was an unwilling COM
panion of the dog, which had refused
to be driven away. but to little effect
until he added two-dollar bill to his
arguments.
IT'S queer what strange things hap
pen to man up here" he said to the
stage-driver who later carried him
away from the Yods. THAT is the
first time was oyer accused of steal
ing a dog"
"Yes, sir" renked the driver. sym
pathetically, and added. after a mo-
ment's pause, n pr myself, sir, have
never been acYsed OF stealing any
thing. "-Youths Companion.

No class OF men in the world have

WHAT IS PE-RU-NA?
Is It a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruua a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which Of these people are right
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca.
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic7
Our reply is, that Peruna is both a
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarTh rem.
edy that is not flso tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have q 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 forces
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 tones as
C0LLINS0NIA 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 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 well-grounded the.
ory the result is truth that cannot be
shaken.
