Save Your Ewes

Every fifth person we meet now
wears glasses.
Nervous diseases never we're go
prevalent. Why?
Because 'eye strain" the curse
of this age of printing, is the great
and growing cause of nerve-tire,
brain-strain, nervous headaches,
nervous dyspepsia and mental de-
preston. "Eye strain" is almost
entirely due to excessive reading
Let me fit you with the right kind
of glasses.

Katarno a We'll Tried
 Catarrh Remedy

katarno is known to Rearly every per son in the United States as Peruna. The revised formula of Peruna Is still sold under the name Peruna. The old form ula, or original Peruna, is sold under the name of Katarno, and Is manufactured at S9 Vesey street, New York city, by The Katarno company, who purchased this right from Dr. Hartman.
 Katarno, in years past, won for itself a reputation in the treatment of catarrh that cannot be lightly set aside. A null titude of people insist upon having 1t to combat catarrhal ailments
 One person has what he calls dyspen- sia; another bronchitis; another Rrighf,s disease; another liver complaint; another consumption. These people would be very much surprised to hear that they are all suffering with chronic catarrh. But it may be so, nevertheless.
 Each one of these troubles, and great many more, may be catarrh-that Is. chronic inflammation of the mucous lining of whichever organ is affected
 These diseases are all alike in still an other way; they are almost impossible to relieve. Any internal remedy that will mitigate catarrh in one location will SA any other location. This is why Katarno has become so justly famous in the re- lief of catarrhal diseases. It relieves catarrh wherever located. Katarno does more than palliate catArrh, 1t often re- heves permanently.

GIANT INVADES
 TIE MERCY HOME
Children Spent Day Out on
 Picnic
STRANGE SIGHT ON RETURN
LlIliputians Were Climbing All Over the Great GullIver and Makinq Merry at the Visitors
 Expense.

The Mercy Home was to this man what its name literally means, for he enjoyed it's privileges for five long hours. Never did little baby, cast off by the world, seek and appreciate this haven of rest so much as did this six foot giant.
 The Mercy Home does not often open its doors to such persons, as it's purpose Is to provide for certain class of home less children, but special permission was given him, and even when they removed him 1t was so gently that for long hours afterward he was not conscious of 1t.
 It happened that yesterday the matron of the home carried all its inmates on picnic and they were gone all day. When the little ones went romping Into their sleeping room on return, what did they find but real live man sleeping between the sheets of a little baby bed with his legs hanging far out over the footboard and his chin leaning on the head.
 At first they were all aghast, and tipped around whispering fearfully as If some terrible demon was in their midst Mother Goose with all her horrors had told them of just such a fellow as thls, and they could picture him throwing them over the moon while the dish ran away with the spoon.
 The matron was not in that part of the house, so Jack, the giant killer, the bravest of them all, decided to make an investigation. He cautiously orept on all fours until he was under the bed, and then looked up at those ponderous shoes bod ,ol, I~t Ial + sanctity of the Mercy Home.
 While Gulliver lay silent snoring, and the little Lilliputians strained their necks, Jack touched the shoe and drew back frightened. Emboldened he gave it little shake but still the musical nose continued its monotone. Finally Jack crawled for ward and cautiously pulled out a strand of hair with no effect He was not to be outdone, so he caught a full handful of the sandy locks and gave them a yank which bent the head down as over an execution block.
 To the amazement of the Lilliputans the mouth merely opened wider, the tongue stuck out and the sleeping giant still dreamed. In a few moments they were all piled over his body, prodding him in the ribs and bouncing the springs with his weight, and he slept on. Attracted by the noise the matron soon came in Horror of horrorsi There was whisky on his breathl
 The children must not learn that odor. so their now favorite toy had to be re- moved. The city's carriage, or the Black Maria called at the door and the sleep Ipey af1fx 1ld fA l1A city jail. He had evidently found every body away, and decided to use the quart CTS for his sobering sleep. An open window showed the manner of his entrance.

In Robeson county North Carolina. lives the remnant of the once powerful Croatan Indian tribe that welcomed Amadas and Barlowe when they came to Roanoke Island on an exploring ex- petition in 15Si, and of whom Hakluyt wrote in his voyages" The explorers claim to have found several auburn haired children among them the Indians explaining that they were descendants of some shipwrecked white men picked up on the coast of Secotan twenty-six years before. These modern Croatans are even more pronounced in the proof of an Al glo-Saxon strain, and vet they have not intermarried with their white neighhors. There are several hundred of these Indians some of whom have light hair, others have blue eyes, and the names Dorr and Dare are said to be common among them. Because of this historians have deduced the theory that the remnants of Whites colony. which disappeared from Roanoke Isla,n be- tween 16S7 and 1o90. were taken aTay in- to the camps of the Croatan or Hatteras Indians and that Ananias Dare. his wife and little Virginia gave their name and their coloring to the tribe as we find 1t today.

In the wild country back of Salisbury. N. C., there has lived for many years, a group of thin, hollow-eyed, poor whites" known locally as "clay-eaters." They take the clay from the fields and ravines where the rain has washed it down in pellet form, and eat 1t voracious- ly. Men. women and children indulge in the habit. A Philadelphia physician who was there on hunting trip some years ago, decided to investigate the matter. since he found that children would leave their meals untasted in order to eat the clay. Ar analysis of the soil proved that 1t contained large percentage of arsenic that had sedative and stimulating eff feet or the eaters It is a habit that Is prevalent in the Tryol and fin Styria.

County is likely to build its new court house, are some landmarks dear to the lover of history, and the Square itself has been the scene of more than one historic incident. It was there a great mass meeting was held on April 20, 1881, to take steps to support the Fed eral government in it's present crisia"
 Fort Sumter was attacked on April it, and that evening some influential citizens met and arranged for the mass meeting in order to correct the general impression that New York was will ing to sacrifice everything for sake of peace. At the Union Square meeting was formed the famous copmittee of safety that disbursed s1,0oo.0e0 appro. priated by the city and equipped 5o,0oe men.
 The most interesting of the land marks that will be removed if the new court house Is built on the site recom- n1ended. is the Washington Irving House. which Is now occuuied by a vo- man dramatic agent, Miss Elizabeth Marbury. and a former popular actress Miss Elsie de Wolfe.
