Little Sins,

The little faults, the little sins, So
called, which may seem so inconse-
quential, may, nevertheless. hide
from us the vision Of the Eternal.
You need not break the glasses OF
telescope, or coat them over with
paint, in order to prevent you from
seeing through them. Just breathe
upon them, and the dew Of your
breath will shut out all the stars. So
1t does not require great crimes to
hide the light of Gods countenance.
Little faults can do 1t just as we'll.
Take shield and cast a spear
upon it, and 1t will leave on 1t one
great dent. Prick it all over with a
million little needle shafts and they
will take the polish from 1t more than
the piercing Of the spear. SO 1t Is
not so much the great sins which take
the freshness from our conscience, as
the numberless petty faults which we
are all the time committing.

Waited For The Other Boot.

The nervous patient is hard to

the room next to one of these, was
asked to make as little noise as pos
sible when he came home at night,
really did try to carry out these in
structions. When he took off his
boots he placed them both at once
on the floor, instead of flinging them
separately in opposite directions. as
was his wont; he crept noiselessly
about the room; he said nothing
when he got into bed and found he

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust.
ness is the natural outgrowth Of the
old-timc household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD IT'S HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit.
ters, 1aXatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the fam.
lily doctor. Such remedies as picra,
which was aloes and quassia, dis.
solved in apple brandy. Sometimes
hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and
bitter barks. A score or more of pop
ular, homemade remedies were thus
compounded, the formulae for which
were passed along from house to
house, sometimes written, sometimes
verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business IS
natural outgrowth from this whole-
some, old-timc custom. In the begin.
ming some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one OF
these home made remedies, would
take it up, improve it in many ways,
manufacture it on largo scale, ad-
vertise 1t mainly through almanacs
for the home, and thus 1t would be-
come used over a large area. LAT.
TERLY THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY
BUSINESS TOOK A MORE ENACT
AND SCIENTIFIC FORM.
Peruna was originally one Of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by
the Mennonites, Of Pennsylvania, be.
fore it was offered to the public for
sale. DR.. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, Is of
Mennonite origin. First, he pre-
scribed it for his neighbors and his
patients. The sale of it increased,
and Mt last he established manufac-
tory and furnished 1t to the general
drug trade.
Pcruna is useful in great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs,
colds, sore throat, bronchitis and ca.
tarrhal diseases generally. THOU.
SANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE
LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA
and its value in the treatment of these
ailments. They have learned to trust
and believe in DR.. Hartman's judg-
ment, and to rely on his remedy, Pc

Senator And Page,

Senator Tillman sees more with
one eye than many men see with
two, but nevertheless those who see
the fiery Southerner cannot avoid
noticing his misfortune. The other
day he clapped his hands for a page,
from the cloakroom door. A new
page, who had not mastered the
senatorial names, responded.
Tell Senator Clay" he said, that
I want to see him in the cloakroom."
The page ran on the errand, on
his way stopping to ask the head
usher where Senator Clay sat. Then
he asked Who's that that has
only one eye?"
The usher, thinking it a question
in mythology, replied: why Cy-
clops, of course"
The page delivered his errand in
this astounding way:

in the cloakroom." - Lippincott's

New YOrk's Eytrayagaht Tax.

1t costs New Workers $31 a head
to be governed. In Philadelphia and

and citizens are provided with police,
fire, sanitary and other protection
common to large cities. In Buffalo
the figure is $12; in Washington,

that sort, $11 per capita pays the

the bottom of the list of progressive

The average city tax throughout

SUIT TO DISSOLVE
POWDER TRUST
Government Starts Action Against
dupont Company.
THEY CONTROL WHOLE OUTPUT

Washington, July 81.-The govern
ment filed in the United States cir
cuit court for the district Of Della
ware. at Wilmington, petition against
r / dupont deNemours & Company
the E. /. dupont deNemours Powder
company. of New Jersey, and "a other
corporations and II individuals con-
nected with the &c corporations which
are made defendants in the petition.
The petition relates that all OF the
defendants are engaged in interstate
trade and commerce in gun powder and
other high explosives and are violat-
ing the act of July 2, 1890, common
" known as the Sherman antitrust
act 1t seeks to prevent and restrain
the unlawful existing agreements, con-
tracts. combination and conspiracles
in restraint of such trade and COM
merce, to prevent and restrain the at
tempts on the part of the defendants
to monopolize such trade and com
merce. and to dissolve the existing
monopolies therein.
The court is asked to determine
whether public interests will be bet
ter subserved by the appointment OF
receivers to take possession Of the
property Of the alleged trust with
view to bringing about conditions In
trade and commerce that Will be IN
harmony with the law.
It is stated in the petition that in
1872 all except three of the concerns
selling high explosives in the United
States organized with the object OF
regulating prices at which such com
modities should be sold, and of drlv-
ing the other corporations out OF busi-
ness bv unfair competitive methods
This association enjoyed an uninter-
rupted operation, It is said, until 1881,
when a new agreement was entered
into with the object of preventing
new manufacturers from engaging in
the powder business. It IS shown that
there were succeeding associations IN
1886 in 1891 and in 1896. each with
the same general object and composed
OF the same members and their sue
cessors. The 1895 association contin-
ued until 1902 and during the whole
period of time from 1872 until 1902
the members of these associations, 1t
is asserted. by various unfair busi-
ness methods, forced substantially
all competitors out of the powder
business. until at the latter date they
controlled % per cent thereof
The petition recites many of the
operations of the so-called powder
trust leading up to the organization
in May. 1905. under the laws in the
state of New Jersey of the E. I. dupont
deNemours Powder company with
capital of 100000 900 as a.holding com
pany for the purpose Of acquiring the

the business is now being carried On
