BALTIMORE, May 8, 1907.
Baltimore has several old-fashioned fea-
lures and customs which the big fire did
much to modify and abolish. Many Of the
principal street crossings have stepping
stones set above the pavement to keep the
feet Of passengers out Of the mud. The old
English medieval system by which ground
is leased for 90 and 99o years to avoid
the tax on transfers Of title and make
the land personal property instead Of real
estate is still in vogue. Leases are free
from taxes, hence only the Improvements
on a piece of property can be taxed. This
simple evasion Of the law was invented
by our British ancestors centuries ago and
was brought over to maryland by them. l
am told that q great part Of the land in
the city is leased for 900 years, and there
are several cases where the ground rent is
only 1 cent year. Several years ago the
Maryland legislature passed a law for
bidding leases for more than ten years and
giving holders Of long leases the right to
buy the property at a 6 per cent valuation.
If they do not wish to buy, the owner or

DEATH IN A NEW eUlsE.
Scheme That Landed a Hungarian
Judge in Town Jail.

In a little village on the Hungarian
frontier, not far from Presburg, a
peasant woman recently received 400
kronen ($85) from her husband in
America.
She promptly deposited it in the
local branch of the postoffiee savings
bank, and then the next day went to
withdraw the whole amount
The bank official was somewhat sur
prised, and asked for an explanation,
when she said that Death had ap-
peared to her during the night and
threatened to take her away with him
unless she had the 400 crowns ready
for him the next night.
The gendarmes were communicated
with, and when Death made his
promised appearance he was found to
be very much alive, in the person of
the local judge.
The woman's money is still in the
bank, and the judge is in jail.-Pan

seen fish jump over dams eight to ten

remarkable statement was a laugh by

Is Pe-ru-na Useful

Should a list Of the ingredients Of Pc

he would be Obliged to admit without
reservethat each one Of them was ofun-
doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test Of many

such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna is composed ofthe most
efieacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient
of Peruna has reputation Of its own

Peruna brings to the home the COM
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE In the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and mowl-
edge of the modern pharmacist; and last
but notleast, brings to the home thevast
and varied experience Of Or. Hartman,
intheuseofcatarrh remedies, and In the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one Of chronic
catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea Is
that this remedy can be supplied direct
lyto the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling of it.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.
