when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh9 Have we

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 her bal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes lining various
organs of the human body.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna. The United States Dispensa-
tory says of the action Of cedron that

ENGLAND CHILLY FOR BEATS
Plan for failing Those who Refuse
to Pay Debts stiu I'm Vogue.

England is not a healthy place for
men who will act pay their bills,' said
W. f. Mahon, lawyer of Chicago, who
has just returned from a two months
trip abroad. says the Washington Post.
Imprisonment for debt was nominally
abolished in England many years ago,
but, nevertheless, the actual number of
cases of imprisonment has since annu-
ally increased, proportionally faster
than the population. Technically, the
Imprisonment is Tor contempt OF court.
The judge orders the debtor to pay
before given day, falling which he
may be Jailed for contempt, not exceed
Ing forty days, and in case he pays the
debt he is released at once.
THE power of committal resides In
The Judge of the court. Some judges
exercise it more freely than others. In
Nottingham county Imprisonment for
debt Is rare, | am told. In other pop
ulous court districts with much more
court business the cases of imprison-
ment do not exceed fifty year, while
in some less populous districts with
less court business the number reaches
500 a year. 1t seems, however, that
the indulgence shown to delinquent
debtors Is steadily decreasing, for the
cases Of Imprisonment In the country
have increased from about 5000, in
1876, to more than 10000 last year.
Credit is not abused In England as
IT is in the United States, however.
Many men have credit, of course, hut
the word means more in England than
1t does In America. A man whose
credit Is good must have earned a repu-
tation for upright business honesty be-
fore he Is trusted. Shopkeepers will not
credit a man who is not known person
ally to them as a man Of good business
standing, and If recommended by an
other, they will by some subterfuge put
off the intending purchaser until they
can find out whether the recommenda-
ton Is genuine. When credit is once
given, the person 10 whom 1t is extend
ed Is not continually annoyed by the
receipt Of bills"

The right of physician called into
case as an expert to additional CON-
pensation is often insisted upon, and
sometimes questioned. In Burnett v.
Freeman, 103 Southwestern Reporter,
121, the Kansas City Court Of Appeals
collates numerous authorities on this
proposition, and comes to the conclu-
sion that such an expert is not entitled
to additional compensation for his ser.
vices in a case.
The decision Of Judge Dill of the
New Jersey Court Of Errors and Ap-
peals in Vanderbilt v. Mitchell, 81 At
lantic Reporter, 81. serves admirably to
illustrate that the powers of court Of
equity are adequate to meet the de-
mands made thereon by constantly
changing social conditions. In this
case 1t appears that birth certificate
was made by the physician present at
the birth of a child This certificate
set forth among other things, the time,
the date and place of the birth of the
child, the name of each of the parents,
the maiden name Of the mother, and
the name of the child. 1t appears that
In making the certificate the physician
was imposed upon by false statements
of the mother as to the paternity of
the child, and certified, contrary to the
fact, that complainant in this suit was
the father of the child. Judge Dill
holds that the court has power to cor
rect the record.
The extensive development of inter
urban railroads Is gradually narrowing
the distinction between the rights Of
commercial railroads, or so-called steam
railroads, and street railroads proper,
as interurban roads In many instances
partake of the nature of both. In Kin
sey v. Union Traction Company, 81
Northeastern Reporter, 922, decided by
the Indiana Supreme Court, one Of the
main contentious was whether or not
interurban cars, operated on the streets
of a city with its permission, for the
carriage Of passengers, express and
light freight, by corporation morgan
ized under the street railway laws, con
stituted an additional servitude on the
streets SO as to entitle abutting owners
to additional compensation for the use
of the streets. Three Of the judges,
Chief Justice Hadley, Justices Gillett
and Monks, were of the opinion that
the operation of the cars did not con-
stitute an additional servitude, while
two judges, Justices Jordan and Mont
gomery, held the contrary.

Tallest Tree i'm the world.

The tallest tree in the world so far
as has been ascertained is an Austria
liam gum tree of the species eucalyptus
regnans, which stands in the Cape OF
way range. 1t is no less than AIS feet
high. Gum trees grow very fast. There
is one in Florida which shet up forty
feet in four years and another In Guat-
emala which grew 120 feet in twelve
years. This corresponds to a rise of
ten feet in year, or nearly one foot
per month.
