a victim TO consumption who was
crowned in full view of sympathetic
crowds by angels with wreaths of cy-
press, and other mortuary subjects
which had wrought ev~erybody's nerves
up 10 concert pitch. Then came 1.-The
Tomb Of Washington" and in the semi
darkness all eyes were strained TO
catch the first glimpse OF that mystical
effect which grows on canvas in such
s~tartlingly realistic proportions, and
all ears depressed by the sound Of a
tolling bell, which signified the passing
of steamboats, at Mount Vernon. And
then came the climax. Washington in
full r~egimentals appeared alive and up
right at the door of his own tomb, be-
ing projected on the canvas by q spe-
cies of art which was as startling as
Ii was nonartistic. 1t was too much
for the nerves of that audience. With
N accord everybody made a rush for
the door, and the lecturer WAS obliged
TO content himself with the fiction that
they believed the show was over. Pa
triotlsm could not stand such a shock.

XeutfIate Well.

An old writer says, when men lived
In houses Of reed they had constltu-
lions of pal when they lived in houses
Of oak they had constitutions Of reeds"
This is a picturesque description Of the
injury which may come to us from
fine houses too closely confined to keep
out the fresh air and too heavily cur
tanned, preventing the entrance OF sun
shine. which is almost If not quite as
important as air. But 1t is not at all
necessary TO have our fine houses un-
healthy, and it requires only intelli-
gence and thoughtfulness to render a
brick house as good a promoter OF
health as a cabin. Fresh air will come
into well ventilated modern houses as
well as through the open cracks of a
house OF reeds and sunlight through a
window in a palace as well as a howell.

WHAT the Countrx Ne-d.

The New YORK Herald usually ex.
hibits pronounced Free!Trade leanings,
but just now it squarely advises its
readers that this Is no time to mixer
with the tariff" 1t adds: What the
country needs Is absolute freedom from
disturbing legislation and an ultram-
meled opportunity to recover from the
shock it has sustained" This strikes
most sensible persons as a statement
that cannot be galnsaid, and indeed
there is no attenpt to dispute 1T. But
while the Free-Traders are silent the
reciprocity mongers are at work and
are doing a good deal Of mlschievous
tiDkering which deserves the attention
of Congress.-San Francisco Chronicle

Increase In manufactures.

The exports of manufactures by the
Omitted States in the calendar year
1907 amounted TO about $7TO.OCO.COO.
This was S120.O0O.0OO in excess of Il
Importation of manufactures in that
yeas. And the growth in exports of
fabrics is larger than in that of i'm
ports. 1t is only in the past ten years
that we have been selling more manu-
features TO the outside world than we
have bought from it. Until 1891 our
imports of fabrics of different sorts al
ways exceeded our exports.
As everybody will understand, our
ability to sell manufactures abroad is
Il decisive test of the strength of our
industrial system. We are able TO
make large sales of wheat, cotton, cop
per II other raw materials abroad
because we have n monopoly in some
of these things. The world is COM
PEELED TO come to us for them. 1t can
lot get them elsewhere. But with the
products OF our factories tie situation
is different. In selling our iron, steel.
copper and other manufactures in the
outside world we come into competition
with the foreign manufactures. and in
the eases where we peat them we do
So because of manifest superiority in
workmanship or price.
The increase in our sales of manu-
features abroad in recent years has
been II OF tie marvels of our indus
trial expansion. While our exports of
manufactures were less than $1,000
GEO a day in 1897, they were more than
100000 a dag in 1907. This growth
is several times as great as that which
took place in Il population in those
ten years. There are several reasons
for this great increase in manufa ctured
exports. Tie riches in volume and va
riety Of Il raw materials, the ingenu-
ity of our inventors n the capability
and versatility of our people are among
the causes. The tariff, however. started
us ON the road toward Industrial SUI
premacy. Through TIE protection which
it has given the home producer 1t has
enabled him to build up an Industrial
scheme which far surpasses that OF any
other two countries in extent and va
riet-. Tie growth in our exports of
manufactures represents the outlet
which we are winning for our surplus.
Although our people increase in number
and in their purchasing power, the out
put Of the home manufacturer expands
faster han the consumptive capacity
of tie home market. We must continue

busy in bad as well as in good times

PERUNA NO. l..

d.. Hartman is now offering Peruna to the public asa regular pharmaceu-
teal product 1t is just as ethical as any compound put up for the medical
profession. No sraning of medical ethics can find any fault with it. THE
PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated In the
label o the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna
have a true justification.
The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of
Perma affairs IN the future, is the fact that We shall continue to advertise and
sell our product TO TEE PEOPLE.
If We would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only,
then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being
entirely within their approval
BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS.
We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to
convey to the people our claims for Peruna a a household remedy. We shall
continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to US

Notwithstanding that some imiatcrs and subshtutors will be attempting to

there was Il very piOus old lady who
was slightly deaf. She thought the

he came to a period she would say

nation. The people in the audience,
which was composed mostly Of the vii
iage church members knew she was
being reverent and did not even smile
when she exclaimed until finally the
lecturer mentisned some farOff city in
China, saying. II live there" At this
point clearly and distinctly could be
