times be found by the searcher.
In olden times the rules of the guild of
stoneworkers were very strict No one was
allowed to marry outside their order, and
no quarryman from other parts of the coun-
try was permitted to work among them.
But nowadays many of the customs of the
Company of Marblers and Stonecutters of
the Isle of Purbeck have lapsed. However,
the industry is still carried on under by
laws and regulations issued by the two war
dens and stewards elected by the men every
year. These officers see that the rules are
carried out and infict penalties for any in
fringement of them, but the accused may
appeal to an open meeting of all the quar-
rymen.

trucks which are hauled up the slide by

as may sometimes be seen working chaff-

the little quarries possess a donkey, whose
duty 1t is to haul up the stone. or one

Courtesy is quality of the heart

as impulse.
The gentle spirit Of courtesy be-
trays itself in the manner of address
ing servant or a weary assistant be-

often results from a mistaken idea as

soME POINTS ABOUT NEEDLES.
The Evolved Product Of Centuries Of
Invention.

3 The point Of needle Is a very i'm
portant part OF that useful little in
strument, and there are many points
about needles calculated to interest
the general public. The daily con-
sumption of needles all over the world
is something like 100000, while
every year the women of the United
States break, lose and use some 300-
100000 of those tiny tools. Few peo-
lie while threading needle have
ever given a thought to the various
processes through which the wire
must pass before it comes out a
needle. Yet the manufacture Of
needles includes some 81 different
processes from cutting the wire and
threading the double needles by the
eyes TO separating the two needles on
the one length Of wire, heading, hard
ening in oil. cleaning out the sides Of
the eye, point-setting, and final pol
ishing. For wrapping purple paper is
used, since it prevents rusting. There
are many sorts of needles, for sur
geons', cooks, glovemakers', weavers',
sailmakers broommakers', milliners'
and dressmakers' use. The needle is
the evolved product of centuries Of
invention. In its primitive form It
was made of bone, ivory, or wood

u. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe.ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca-
tarrh of the liver and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic organs.
1t is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms of diseases Pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispen satory as a tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as stomachic and as
tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it is used as bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dy sentery,
and in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispen satory as mild stimulant and
diuretic. 1t acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. 1t acts as a stimu-
liant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
EMERY and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Send to us for free book of testimo-
malls of what the people think of Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it.
