Write to Peruna Testimonials If You
 Want to Know the Truth.

Write to Fortuna testimonials If You
 Want to Know the Truth.
 The following letter was received by Dr. Hartman through his regular cor respondence:
 "1 notice the testimonial of Mrs. Alice Bogle, which you give in your last article. If should write her do you suppose she would give me further particulars? I have heard 1t said many times that such testimonials are fakes; that they are either absolutely hired to write them. 1 have been in- clined to write you great many times but these stories about patent medi- cine advertisements have discouraged me from doing so. I am afflicted with catarrh and should like very much to find remedy such as your article de- scribes."
 To the above letter pr. Hartman i made the following reply: My dear Madam:-I do not wonder that you are confused and have lost all faith in advertised remedies. There has been so much said against them, so much controversy concern 1 ing them, I am not surprised that some people have lost confidence in ] them.
 l wish you would write Mrs. Bogle, as one woman to another. 1 wish you would ask her whether she has been 1 hired to write such a testimonial, ! whether her testimonial represents the | truth.
 I hope that you will remember that | she is a housewife. like yourself, that | she has something to do besides write l letters, that she Is a woman of mod crate means and cannot afford to write 1 these letters and pay her own postage. I hope you will enclose stamp so she can answer you without loss to her 1 self. Mrs. Bogle is a very estimable | lady and no doubt you will both prof 1t by being acquainted with each oth- | CT.
 Should you conclude to try Peruna for your cataFrh I would be very glad | to hear of the result. I can assure you
 that no use will be made of your let ter, except by your written consent
 Mrs. Bogle very kindly consented, to have me use her letter. which is my
 reason for doing SO and you will be treated exactly as she has been People recover from chronic catarrh

(Written Specially for The, Bulletin.)
 A neighbor remarked to me the other day: We've had frost every month in this year. haven't we?'
 We have" replied, and that is not such an unusual phenomenon as most persons think in this latitude, since I have known it to happen two years in succession, and think 1t happens once or twice in every five years"
 What made New England exception ally cold in 1912 was ice-making weather in June and August, when hoar frost is infreQuently the order. The growing season opened with copious rains, which were followed by a severe drouth which prevented seeds from germinating until late; and then fol- lowed ample rains for crop maturing; and while tender crops have done poorly most all hardy crops show an abundant yield.
 Frost has always nystified man and been more or less dreaded by him as a ban, and rarely considered as bless ing.
 Few people realize that Jack Frost is older than Adam; that, in fact, if tradition Is correct, he lived in Jotun- helm before the god Odin appeared to rule the earth. He not only works every month in the year, but every day; but the riches he hoards the sun makes him generously spend for the benefit of those he annoys outside his legitimate realm, the perpetually frozen portions of the earth.
 The vagaries of the frost are charge able to the interference of forces which would stay his raids upon the gardens and blighting and blackening of the landscape. Wind and water which still feel the influence of the sun keep the frost from shutting down upon the earth. for he always hovers over this fair sphere, and the warm air forces him to move in currents like the tide: and warm sandy and rock laden soils hold him up, and the pro- tecting foliage keeps him of; hence he blights and blackens gardens and fields in streaks and spots until the cooling earth turning away from the sun yields to him the mastery.
 The most wonderful manifestation of the suns power Is shown perhaps in the large rivers of warm water which circulate through the great oceans, tn , Gulf Stream which rushes north from the tropical seas, and the Japan cur rent in the Pacific ocean which skirts our western coast and gives rise to the chinook winds which sweep away the snow in the great northwest and opens spring there sometimes earlier than It dawns in New England.
 These air-tempering forces marshal ed by Old Sol and charged with heat meet the icebergs of the north and say l to them: Thus far and no farther, and they hold the frost in check with l such force that along the Atlantic seaboard the black frost does not get I in It's work for several weeks after 1t has blighted the interior. and doubt 1 less 1t is the warm water on the north side of Cape Cod which holds the fros!
 back longer than 1t does on the south side, where 1t gets in It's work first. 1 The Gulf stream is 40 miles wide

 It is only by taking a day as the unit of time that we can grasp what is happening every twenty four hours. There are 15o millions worth of property destroyed by fire in this country every year, and one-half of 1t is unnecessary; but when we con- slider that the civilized nations are estimated to be scratching three bil- lion matches minute. and the care lessness and negligence which marks the walks of life, this does not seem so excessive. The official statistics of this country show that every busi- ness day the property destroyed reach es half million, and that three lives are lost and seventeen persons seri- ously injured. This makes a death toll of 1900 persons and an injured list of over 5000. The match scratchers reaches fifteen hundred billion in a year, and in their manufacture many thousand cords of dry, straight-grai ed wood is used. The heather appear to have made no mistake when they gave to fire demons name.

Everybody does not think that home should be a place of comfort, not a show place. I have thought if inde- pendence of character was more corn- mon our homes would look less like museums and more like places of rest and joy. You may think it is a mat ter of taste; but as I think of the various homes have known, it seems to me rather to have been a matter of no taste. Utility should be the ruling thought-the real slogan of life The man who can employ most servants is not greatest, but he who serves most
 Which is most beautiful, think you, the thing which is most ornate or most useful. Utility seems to me to be the handmaid of beauty. Beauty is that beauty does-not just hanging on a wall The art of art is simplicity, not fillagree. Things that are just pretty to look at are usually too numerous and too dusty. Being a slave to things is not much better than being a slave to habit. Harmony of color may contribute to harmony of spirit-a house full of bric-a-brac doesn't. You see--where everything in a house spells comfort, there comfort is found.

Among the lost and found of my
 garden is single dahlia named State
 liness, which came from a Gloriosa
 seed many years ago. It is a long
 stemmed, large, terra-cotta bloom that comes white with terra cotta-
 edged petals occasionally in Septem-
 Der. The parent plant had habit of
 now and then presenting itself with
 snowwhite tips to it's petals, when
 from the plainest flower it became
 admittedly the glory of the garden.
 It was so chary about disclosing it's
 beauty that every grower did not dis
 cover why its name was Gloriosa, but
 a few of those beautiful, never to be
 forgotten blooms came for me, and
 I tried to see If some of it's children
 would not permanently take on the
 white, but of scores of plants grown
 one never did. It is not strange that such freaky habit as this made the
 ancients believe that plants had guard Ian spirits which prompted them to indulge in an unexpected manifesto = ton of taste in adornment. Now wa know plants are animals having eyes. i for four scientists have so declared, and testing Darwin's declaration, a | German scientiest has succeeded 1 through photography and the use of i the microscope in reproducing the 1 images reflected on the visual or l gans of plants.

| think of these things In wit messing the way scores of young men choose their work in life. It some times seems as though choice were largely on the hit-or- miss principle They rush into all sorts of ventures without that preliminary matching of their talents and tastes against the work proposed which is so essential to permanent success.
 Many boy bids goodby to school on the allurement of a job that promises light work and ready money. Not seldom, of course, he is forced prematurely into wage earning, through family necessity, but too oft en he leaves against the desires of his people ,dazzled by the glare of a few immediate dollars. He does not stop to consider how much better he might serve his later career by finishing his education and then deliberatly choos- ing some line in which he could in vest his whole life. Of the multi tude of round pegs in square holes a large proportion employed little patience or intelligence in choosing the career that later grows cnerouS and distasteful.
 Those of us who are older cannot sympathize with that unfortunate eagerness to be through with school | one so often sees in the present 1 generation. School days, all too short at best, should be jealously guarded | from intrusion. They are to furnish invaluable equipment for what is to ] follow. Life is like a great and beautiful building whose foundations cannot be laid too strong.
 A great educator replied to young man who asked if he might not skiI a considerable part of the curriculum: Tt depends on what you intend tc make of yourself.

As the aeason is draMina to a oIose

As the season is drawing to a close the garden appears to have more but terf1ies in it than ever. The cabbage and turnip butterflies, the fruit and the nectar seeking butterflies, fit about every day. because there is more in 1t for them. The Monarch and Aphro- dite enjoy the little sunfowers, and Asterias like the parsley and fennel, and the Mourning Cloak and Punctua- tion butterflies just enjoy the bruised and mashed fruit under the pear trees, which yellow jacket occasionally dis putes their right to; and the young of Papilio philenor have suspended them selves on the Dutchmen's pipe to spend the winter; and there they will await the warm days of late May or June, to wake them and stimulate them to flight. There Is no doubt the inhabit- ants of my garden exceed in number the population of the city of Norwich, and there may be ten times as many brawls and accidents and tragedies there as there are in this civilized com munity.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
WAITING AT THE PLATE.

Hugh Fullerton, in a contribution to one of the magazines, has been telling us that no team ever won a pennant that was not a waiting team" In baseball lingo the batsmen must make the opposing pitcher put 'em over in the groove" in ordinary parlance they must wait a suitable opportunity before trying to hit the ball.
 If we may be allowed to make a larger application of this sporting philosophy, let us say that many of the balls that life sends on our gen. eral direction are not really suitable for us to strike at. Many of them are impracticably far from the plate. Many would make a good hit impos- sible. We must learn patiently to await occasions.
