RECORDS SHOW MAN DEAD
AND HE CAN'T MARRY


Paris-French red tape has been
trying to prove to living man that
he has been dead 16 years. Leon
Madet, employed as a janitor at a
Paris school, was anxious to get mar
ried, and to that end applied for the
necessary birth certificate. Instead
Of that, the authorities gave him a
certificate showing that he died in
1892. You cannot get away from Of
fetal records in France, so Madet
had to postpone his marriage until he
had Strengthened matters out. The
authorities told him that IL he wants
to prove that he is still alive he must
produce two reputable witnesses and
certain documents. And until he does
this he cannot be married.

THE PRINTING HABIT.
BY w. s. Rossiter.

The use of products of human in
genuity is largely the result of edu-
cation and habit. Even in the most
civilized nations the process of in
PRODUCING new devices and inventions
seem to conform to a kind of natural
law which provides a continuous but
exceedingly deliberate progress.
Were 1t possible to step back into
the reign of Queen Elizabeth and
offer for sale, after full explanation
of their purpose and value, those
conspicuous inventions of our time
which add luxury to the home and
facilitate business, the experiment
would prove merely case of times
out of Joint. II Is probable that the
queen and her court would be inter-
ested and diverted, but doubtless they
would insist upon the presence of the
supernatural, purchase little, and
continue to live as their age pre-
scribed.
Even in our own period-foremost
In enlightened progressive require
time to educate ourselves to the gem
eral use of new devices, however es-
sential they ultimately prove to be.
Before the invention of the telegraph,
communication with others at a dis
tance was accomplish by either
writing letter or journeying in per-
son; it required years to educate the
public to the use of a third alterna-
tive for communication and to think
first of telegram. When at length
men were educated to regard tele-
graphy as the first essential in quick
communication, the telephone ap-
peared. Another period of education
was then necessary, and two decades
passed before the public placed this
fourth alternative at the head of the
list and learned always and every
where to think first of the telephone.
Even the art of printing has con-
formed to the law of deliberate ad-
vance. The progress of printing,
though continuous, was exceedingly
slow for three hundred and fifty
years, and, although the volume on
printed matter has increased much
more rapidly during the last half
century, responsive to the conditions
of our age, the use of printing is still
largely a matter of habit and educa-
tion, varying widely in different ma
tions, and even among the various
States of our own republic. This fact
is illustrated by the expenditures of
State governments for official print
ing, which show differences so great
as to be explainable only by the habit
of the sparing or of the liberal use
of printed matter. The State of New
York, for example, has long been
foremost among all the States in the
production of printing; in 1900 the
State government expended 1854.
330.53 for official printing, while the
State officials of Tennessee, a State
in which printing is minor industry
and much less a factor in daily life,
expended in the same year but sS,-
1868. The proportion, therefore,
of official printing to population was
twenty times as great in New York az
in Tennessee.
On the whole, however, the ad-
vance of the printing in the United
States during the last fifty years,
which may be set as the period of
greatest industrial activity, has been
so great and far-reaching as to place
the industry among the leaders,

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busi-
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 tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. 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
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, inn
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it mp, 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
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t 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 Mem
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of It increased, and at last he
established a manufactory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful In great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment Of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
Or. Hartman's Judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

Seeing Nearby Things.

Professor w. ID. Scott sounds a
note of warning about the increasing
use of the eyes for reading and the
Inspection of small nearby objects.
This especially affects school chill
dren. Professor Scott says that the
human eye was evolved for distant
vision, and in its structure is rela-
lively poorly suited for nearby vision.
The increase of all sorts OF printing
augments the trouble every day. and
"all things seem to be conspiring to
make us use our eyes more and more
for the very thing for which they
are the most poorly adapted" There
is no doubt much reason in this, but
could the world Danish its printing
presses and retain its civilization?-

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports,

II. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
OF Trade says:
Trade reports indicate little
more activity and the percentage of
idle machinery decreases, but more
reductions In wages and dividends
show that the process of readjust-
ment will take some time. Inactiy-
ity continues in the New England
footwear industry, factories running
on short time as a rule. Many cities
report an output of 40 per cent. of
full capacity, and shipments through
Boston are about rs per cent. below
year ago. Best news is received
from Chicago and st. Louis, where
liberal orders are received for fu-
ture delivery. Some increase is re.
ported in the local jobbing trade in
spring lines. Leather is more active
although some lines are dull, and
many tanneries are practically shut
down. A frmer feeling in the hide
market is not accompanied by mani
actual changes in prices, but larger
sales have reduced packers stocks
Bradstreet's says
Improvement in sentiment and ih
actual demand continues, but it pro
ceeds under the check rein of con
servatism, which limits buying tc
small lots of staple goods. Spring
1obbing trade has apparently passed
its zenith, with a total trade larger
perhaps than was expected some
months ago, but smaller by far thar.
a year ago. Fall trade Is four to si1
weeks late in opening up. AS hither-
to, the chief activity has been in dry
