BURGLARS ROB SAFE.
Davis Bros. of West Berlin Suffer Loss of
About 300 Thursday Night.

Davis Bros. of West Berlin Suffer Loss of
About 900 Thursday Night.
States Attorney Gates was called to
West Berlin Friday afternoon to investi-
gate safe robbery at that place, the
office of Davis Bros. granite manufacturers,
having been entered during the night and
the safe, containing cash and valuable
papers, rihed. The robbery was dis
covered when the boo lkeeper entered the
office Friday morning, and the authorities
notified Immediately, but up to the
present no arrests have been made.
The safe, which was old fashioned, had
been opened with key, the outer door
lacking a combination, and the interior
compartment containing the cash and
other valuabes, entered by knocking off
the small steel door coveringit. Chisels
had been procured from the stone shed
adjoining the office, and the whole job has
the appearance of amateur workmanship.
The total loss is about $500, of which
$500 was in cash and the remainder
checks and money orders. 1t is thought
that the latter will be of use in apprehend
ing the robbers if an attempt is made to
get the money on them, and so disclose the
identity of the burglars.
The only clue to the robbery is the fact
that number of tramps spent the night
in small hut short distance from the
office and it is not improbable that this
gang was concerned in the affair to a
greater or less extent. The only resi-
dence near the Office is quite distance
down the street, and the occupants of this
house would not be liable to hear any
disturbance at the stone shed, so that
the first intmation of the burglary was
was the finding of the safe by the en-
ployees.

CATARRHAL DISEASES or
SUMMER TIME.

Most people think that catarrh does
not prevail in the summer time. Ca
tarrh is generally regarded as a winter
disease.
1t certainly is true that catarrh of the
throat, bronchial tubes and lungs Ia
more prevalent during the winter time.
But it is also true that catarrh of the
stomach, bowels and kidneys is more
prevalent during the summer time
Thus we have catarrhal diseases OF SUM
mer, and catarrhal diseases of winter.
1t is probably true that the mortality
from catarrhal diseases is greater in the
winter time than in the summer. But
yet there is an alarming number of peo-
pie who die annually from those Ca
tarrhal affections that are peculiar to
summer.
Catarrh is chronic congested inflam-
nation of mucous membrane. The
mucous membrane of the stomach is
just as liable to catarrh as the mucous
mer brane of the throat, the lungs, the
bronchial tubes. Catarrh of the stom-
ach is the same kind of disease as
catarrh of the throat and lungs. So, also,
is catarrh of the bowels. Catarrh of the
kidneys. Catarrh of all the other in
ternal organs.
Catarrhal diseases peculiar to summer
are, catarrh of the stomach, sometimes
called gastritis; catarrh of the small
intestines, sometimes called enteritis !;
catarrh of the colon, sometimes called
colitis. These diseases are very prev
alent during the summer, especially IL
the air be hot and humid.
We regard Peruna as an excellent
remedy for these forms OF internal ca
tarrh. DR.. Hartman's practice, which
covered a period of many years, in
which he used chiefly Peruna for all
bowel diseases, is confirmatory of this
fact, from the standpoint of a profess
sional test.
The multitude of letters that we re-.
ceive from all parts of the United States,
in which the effect of Peruna is de-
scribed upon catarrhal affections of the
internal organs, would make it appear
that Peruna is certainly one of the
greatest remedies for this class of dis
eases, if not indeed the very greatest.
In collie and cramps, attacks of in
digestion, distentlon of the bowels by
gas, diarrhea, constipation, Peruna is
relied upon by thousands of people and
It's use as a household remedy gains a
stronger hold upon the people as time
goes on,

Inc Penalty OF Kindness.

The man who had abeut three times
as much as he could carry felt in his
pocket for a nickel. The conductor
waited patiently while he extracted a
package Of cigarette papers, four
matches, little wad of string and a
corkscrew.
"Noshing doin'," said the sozzled one
and Immediately lost interest in the
matter.
"Come, get off," said the conductor.
"Here; it's Jefferson avenue. / can't
let you go any farther without pay
ing"
Just then fat man leaned over and
gave the conductor a nickel. Let him
ride" he said, and the ICON" rang up
the fare and passed on.
When the car reached the end of the
line the inebriated gentleman was still
doing.
"Why don't you get off," roared the
''con," shaking him. where do you

The passenger opened one watery
eye sleepily.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

To roll up the eyes into the head is a
very bad habit and will invariablyEruin
the appearance and usefulness of the finest
eyes.
Soiled spots may be removed from white
silk or satin by rubbing the spot with a soft
flannel cloth dipped in a little alcohol or
ether.
When a hat is wet with rain it would

brushed with a soft brush and, when nearly
dry, with harder brush.
A teaspoonful of lemon juice in a cupful
of tepid water will remove all stains from
nails and skin and loosen the cuticle better
than a sharp instrument.
The crown of "a crushed straw hat should
be dampened with cold water and stuffed
lightly with old, soft paper. Then put to
dry in a hot place. 1t will be restored to
its former shape.
Women who wish to retain the. beauty
Of their necks and threats, should be

A minute parallaA OF about one-six-
tieth of a second of arc found for
Arcturus by DR.. Elkin gave a most
astounding result. This small paral-
lax implies a distance from the earth
equal to about 100000 times the
suns distance. This vast distance
would produce diminution Of light of
about thirty-fve and one-fourth mag
nitudes, so that the sun placed at the
distance of Arcturus would be reduced
to star of only nine and three-fourths
magnitude. 1t would not be visible
with an opera glass. Arcturus is
therefore in round numbers nine and
one-half magnitudes, or over 5000
times brighter than the sun would be
at the same distance. Assuming the
same density and brightness Of sur
face as the sun, the diameter of Arc
turus would therefore be about sew
enty-nine times the suns diameter, or
over 6S,000000 miles, and its mass
about 100000 times the mass of the
sun-fgures well calculated to "stag-
ger the imagination"

Patti Wanted fter money.


One of Adelina PATHS peculiarities
was that she never sang a note until
she had her salary either paid or so
fully assured that there was no doubt
as to her getting it. When she sang
at the Academy Of Music, in New
York, at one time the manager was
sorely put about to find money to pay
her, but she always stoutly refused to
sing until she had her salary.
One night al quarter past 8 her
representative went to him and said:
Madam is all dressed except her
shoes. She will put those on when
she gets the money"
The manager, half distracted, rushed
about the house and succeeded in rails
ing one-half the amount due the prima
donna, which he hastily sent to her
But another quarter Of an hour passed
and, though the audience showed great
Impotence, there was no Patti, where
at the manager ran to her room.
"My dear madam, why do you not
go on? have sent you half the mon
ey, and the rest will reach you before
the end of the first act
Patti smiled dolefully, exhibited the
tips of her feet and said: you see,
have only one shoe on. | cannot &c
on the stage without the other. II
would be quite impossible"
Almost craZed the manager rushed
out and discovered that the othel
half of the money could be raised

whether it was a grievous lie for a
woman to misstate her age replied:
"a lie may be defined as statement
made by one rational being to another

Ancient Concrete.

That the Romans were very familiar
with concrete and gave consideration
TO it's use examination of the concrete
work in the forum clearly shows
Their concrete contained generally
only two kinds OF stone. travertine and
selcie. in equal parts. Selcie is hard,
closely knit rock. very similar to our
bluestone or trap rock in color as well
as quality Travertine is volcanic
rock not so hard as selcie. considerably
lighter in color, and was desirable on
account of its porosity, which insured
good bond with the cement. In all
the Roman work the combination OF
the travertine and the selcie Is clearly
distinguishable Cement Age.

The March of the Caravan.

Perhaps the weirdest and most Inn
pressive Of the many unwonted mem
cries that the traveller carries away
with him from travel in the east Il
the recollection Of the camel caravans
which he has encountered at night.
Out of the black darkness is heard the
distant boom of a heavy bell. Mourn
fully and with perfect regularity of
iteration it sounds, gradually swelling
nearer and louder and perhaps min
Cling with the tones Of smaller bells
signaling the rear guard of the same
caravan. The big bell is the insignia
| and alarm of the leading camel alone.
But, nearer and louder as the sound
becomes, not another sound and not a
visible object appears to accompany
/ It. Suddenly and without the slight.
est warning there looms out of the
darkness, like the apparition of O
phantom ship. the form of the captain
of the caravan. His spongy tread
sounds softly on the smooth sand, and
like a great string of linked ghouls tho
silent procession stalks by and is swal
