NiQht SWeatS & Cough.

E. W. Walton, Condr. s. P. r., III
Van Ness St., San Antonio, Tex,
writes: "During the summer and fall
of 1902, my annoyance from catarrh
reached that stage where it was actual
misery and developed alarming symp-
toms, such as very deep-seated cough,
night sweats, and pains in the head and
chest. Iexperimented with several So
called remedies before finally decided
to take a thorough course of Peruna.
1.-TWO of my friends had gone SO far rs
to inform me that the thing for me to do
was to resign my position and seek a
higher, more congenial climate. Every
one thought I had consumption and
was not expected to live very long.
"Having procured some Peruna, de-
cided to give it thorough test and ap-
piled myself assiduously to the task eff
taking it, as per instructions, in the
meantime.
"The effects were soon apparent, ali
alarming symptoms disappeared and
my general health became fully as good
as it had ever been in my life.
"S have resorted to the use of Peruna
on two or three occasions since that
time to euro myself of bad colds"

PLANT TRAMP BY INSTINCT.
California Cactus Blows Around the
Desert for Months.

Curious among vegetable growths
and one which is seldom seen of men
is the rootless cactus OF the California
desert, says the Technical World.
This plant, a round, compact growth,
rolls about the level floor of the des-
ert for some eight or nine months of
the year, tossed hithef and yon by
the winds which blow with fierceness
over all of CALIFORNIA; sand plat dur
ing those months.
At the coming of the rains, or
rather the cloudbursts, which sweep
the desert in it's springtime, this cac-
tus takes root wherever 1t happens to
have been dropped by the last wind
of whicn it was the plaything and Inn
mediately begins to put out all around
it small shoots, which in turn become
cacti, exactly like the parent plant.
These young growths increase in
size rapidly, sucking the moisture
both from the parent plant and from
the surrounding earth. The roots do
not penetrate the soil deeply, but
spread often over a circle whose
radius is not less than ten feet. These
roots, too, are small, but practically
innumerable, and they get every bit
of moisture and plant food to be had
In the territory they cover.

An Artists Generosity.

The famous painter Corot and his
sister were joint owners of some
house property in the Faubourg Pois.

"a tailor-came to Corot and said he
could not pay his rent
What can 1 do for you?" asked
Corot 81 cannot intercede for you
with my sister, because l am not on
good terms with my family" CAS- a
matter of fact, Corot was regarded as
a failure" by his family.) How
ever" he added, here is the money
to pay the rent, only don't let anyone
know l have given it to YOU"
The tailor after this used to return
periodically when his rent was due and
obtain the money from Corot, who re-
marked on one occasion, 81 appear to
be very generous, but 1 am not, be-

for nothing!"
How many days have you been
out?'
"Six from Liverpool" came the an
swer from the liner.
"Then you'll perhaps be surprised
to hear that war was declared by
France against England three days
ago." answered our captain, grimly.
Therefore you'll just haul your flag
down, and I'll send prize crew
aboard"
The captain of the liner seemed
dumfounded by this startling an
nouncement, and no further resistance
was offered, although w could see
what panic we had created among the
passengers. Our boats were lowered,
and after a long and excited parley
the men we sent to the steamer rowed
back with nine large iron-bound bull
lion-cases locked and sealed.
"Bravo!" cried our captain, excited
ly, when he saw them. 'Then there
was no mistaKe!" The boats were at
once swung up, and next moment the
electric signal rang out ting-ting-ting,
and We moved off, leaving the dis
abled steamer lying helpless as log.
I stood by while the men broke open
the cases on deck, and was amazed
to see that they were filled full of
English sovereigns.
''This is piracy!" I remarked, ex-
citedly, to the captain.

with precision that would have done
credit to any vessel in the service.
There was pause for moment, then
the liner ran up her red ensign, while
We at the same time showed the
French tricolor. Again the gun
doomed forth, and again and again.
But the steamer did not slacken speed
or seek to parley. She kept on her
way as if contemptuous of our attack
In quarter of an hour, however, we
had drawn up at close range, and our
strong-lunged skipper, in an entirely
new uniform, using a long string OF
foreign oaths, shouted to his crew to
open fire.
Next instant the vessel shook from
stem to stern as time after time our
guns spat forth their fire and deadly
hail upon the inoffensive steamer,
while our Maxim on the port bow rat
tied out it's whitening rain of bullets,
sweeping the deck of the liner and
tearing the canvas awnings to rib
bons. Suddenly one of our well-direct-
ed shells carried away part of the
fore-funnel of the liner, and moment
later another, entering amidships, ex-
ploded, and must have wrecked part of
the machinery, for the steamer at once
slowed down and stopped.
What do you mean by this?" cried
the angry captain of the liner. gestic-

later, on passing through the saloon
with the funereal hangings, came to
the door of the strong room and found
it ajar.
Upon the floor were the tin boxes
which had contained the Monte Carlo

had been removed!
Through the long, anxious day I
paced the deck, taking my meals alone
in the saloon, waited upon by the gil

1 had spoken, and whose name

compass and saw that we were head

tain swept the horizon anxiously with
his glass, and although not a speck
could now be seen, our engines were
still working at the highest pressure
the boilers could withstand. The YES
sci had been built for speed, and we
flew through the waters in the golden
track of the dying day.
My position was very strange one,
and l passed a restless night tossing

water bare and sun-blanched. Swiftly
dressed and ran up on deck eager to
land, but on looking round saw that
we were lying up a small creek, and
that the aspect of the land was tropi-
cal, with palms, aloes and Towering
plants. 1t was the coast of North At
RIGA. The shore was but short dis

For two whole days we lay at an

About noon on the following day, as
