Upon the limbs and between the
toes my skin was rough and sore, and
also sore under the arms, and l had to
stay at home several times because of
this affection. Up to a week or so ago
l had tried many other remedies and
several doctors, and spent about three

death the pulse beats steadily de-
crease. 1t has been said by great
authorities that the age and sex of
a person could be ascertained by the
rate of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have a pulse beat Of 100 times
a minute in case of a girl and $50 in
the case of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats will have fall
en- respectively to ITO and 100. Maid
ems and youths pulses average 95

women have an average of 60 and 50.
An old woman's pulse rarely, If ever,

consistent with health. Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only A

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies,

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and t%onics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary OF the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
Of whiskeys hops and bitter banks. A
score or more Of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE.
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one Of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is Of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed 1t
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale Of 1t increased, and at last ne
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna Is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES EAvE 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 judgment, and to RELY
on his remedy, Peruna.

other horticultural tools, and can be
obtained of most of the large hardware
stores. The blade of the knife above
Is made of one continuous piece of
steel. Mr.. w. H. Laws, of Beeville,
Tex, used a knife similar to this
while I visited him several years ago.
His knife was not as heavy, and the
blade was made pocket-knife style,
and could be closed. This made 1t
handy to carry in the pocket; but
the objection was that prying hives
and frames caused the blade to work
loose in it's Joints" This weak point,
in addition to being more expensive
also, makes the knife without the
joint, and the consequent lower price,
a more satisfactory hive tool. 1t can
be carried in the hip pocket with ease,
having the handle downward; in fact,
the ~hip-pocket is the most handy "hive
tool bag I know of-the most con.
venient in reach at all times.
This knife is excellent for prying
hives, frames and anything else apart;
also for opening boxes or taking off
covers or bottoms that have been
nailed on. 1t is sharp, and can be
used for cutting at any time, the
same edge being used for scrapirg
frames, etc. 1t is also the handiest
small tool for cutting away weeds in
front of the entrances of the hives.
A few slashes at the same time the
few puffs of smoke preparatory to
opening the hive are given, leave a
clean dooryard-something more es-
sential during a ~honey-f1ow than most
of the craft might suppose. For cut
ting or hacking off limbs of trees
that are in the way this pruning-knife
works finely-just what it was orig
inally intended for. Mailing can be
done with the blade, it's weight per-
hitting of driving even large nails.
The back end of the handle is rath.
er fiat, round, and smooth, and is
used in emergencies for fastening
foundation in frames, especially when
such has accidentally torn loose in
handling, or when pulled off by the
weight Of the bees.
Another correspondent writes:
have seen a description of a great

estimation that is suitable for the
Danzenbaker hive. I have tried sew.
eral of them, but they seem to be
wanting in some particular or other.
l am sending you a cut of the tool
that | use, and it is all that can be
desired. 1t is simply a butcler-knife
of the best quality, with a notch cut
in the back of 1t so it can be used as
a hook to pull the spring out of the
hive. 1t is so thin that it can be
forced between a super and the hive,
and 1t is strong enough so that, by

matter how tight 1t is stuck. BY
taking hold of the handle and using
the left hand on the back of the
knife near the point you can easily

pry them apart. 1t is also an excel.
lent thing for %scraping propolis from
frames. Then another excellent fea.

Harte:

paper waiting for press. l was drum

Out of His Line,

A man living in the country far
from any physician was taken sud-
denly Ill. His family, in great alarm,
not knowing what to do, sent for a
neighbor, who had a reputation for
d~octoring COWS.
Cant you give father something
TO help him?" asked n Of the sons.
"Wa,al, I don't know nothin' about
doctorin' people,"
"You know more than we do. for
you can doctor cows. Now what do
you give them when they are sick"
WAL" l alters give EPSON salts.
You might try it on him."
How much shall we give him?"
inquired the son.
"Wa-al, I give cows Just a pound.
Your father is a quarter as big as a
cow-give him a quarter of a pound"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
Bary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Not at All Necessary to Operate In
Many Cases.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare
some people before they are hit.
Appendicitis is often caused by too
much starch in the bowels. Starch is
hard to digest and clogs up the diges-
tive machinery-also tends to form
cakes in the cecum CHATS the blind
pouch at entrance to the appendix.)
A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but
lived on milk for awhile--then Grape
Nuts and got well without an opera
ton.
She says: Five years ago while at
school, I suffered terribly with consti-
patton and Indigestion" (Too much
starch, white bread, potatoes, ETC.,
which she did not digest.)
"joon after l left school l had an at
tack Of appendicitis and for thirteen
weeks lived on milk and water. When
! recovered enough to eat solid food
there was nothing that would agree
with me, until a friend recommended
Grape-Nuts.
when ! began to eat Grape-Nuts |
weighed SO lbs, but I SOC grew to lie
lbs. The distress after eating left me
entirely and now ! am like a new per
son."
GA little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot
water or milk would have been much
better for this case than milk alone,
for the starchy part of the wheat and
barley is changed into a form of di-
gestable sugar In making GrapesNuts.)

French Sailors Use pruas.

The extent to which the narcotic
habit prevails in the French navy was
illustrated a few days ago by the pro-
ceedings of a court-martial at Brest.
The defendants were half a dozen
seamen of ordinary rating, who were
charged with a considerable number
Of robberies. All the men were vic
tins Of opium or the the ether habit,
or both combined, and were in the
habit of bemuddling themselves daily
with these drugs and the robberies
had been committed to crafty their
passion. Severe sentences were
passed.

TWO HANDY HIVE TOOLS.
Knives That viii Serve a Variety Of
Purposes.

For several seasons 1 have used a
stout pruning-knife with a "hawk-bilr'
blade as a hive tool in my apiaries,
and have found it to be the most sat

greatest variety of purposes of all the
tools tried. writes a correspondent Of
Bee Culture.
The entire length of the pruning
knife is about eight inches, and it is
very stout in its makeup. The blade
is made of good steel, and retains a
sharp edge, while the back Of the
blade is about o~ne-eighth inch thick.
These knives are advertised with

Geese as LAYERS.

Age has no effect whatever upon the
laying or paying quality Of geese.
The rule is that geese increase in pro-
Efficacy with years. They lay as many
eggs 20 years old as they did when
only two or three years old and the
fertility of the same is better. or
course, a proper keeping and feeding
must have been practiced at all times.
Fat geese are non-producers. A solid
grain ration is detrimental to good re-
suits. A grass-run and liberty and a
little oats at night during the winter
are best.

Good Theory, Poor Practice.

To encourage temperance the Brit
ish admiralty allows SO cents a month
to sailors who forego their daily ra-
ton of rum. But, as a sailor who does
not wish to drink rum can draw his
rations and sell them to other sail
ors at 80 cents or even more a month.
the temperance plan is not SO sue
cessful as was hoped.
