AUTOMOBILE RIDERS
DANGLE IN MIDAIR
Party Near Death When Car
Falls From Bridge.

c. H. Townsend, a garage owner
at Atglen. Pa, and three friends were
almost miraculously saved from death
when the automobile in which they
were riding plunged through the rail
ing of the high bridge over the Penn
sylvania railroad tracks at COatesville,
Pa.
The heavy machine, with its human
occupants, dropped fifteen feet and
then its rear wheel caught on the
heavy double twisted guy wires used
to support the structure.
With a sudden jolt the automobile
caught and hung suspended ten feet
above the earth. Its occupants, one OF
them a woman. although thrown for
ward, did not fall from the car.
Bruised and half-stunned, they all
clung to the automobile, swaying to
and fro on its comparatively frail sup
port. Persons who had seen the acct
dent rushed to the bridge expecting to
see them crushed beyond recognition
at the bottom of the rayine through
which the railroad runs.
When the car was seen suspended
on the wires. ropes we're let down from
the bridge and Townsend and his
guests We're dragged from their peril T.

was hired at a local garage, and in I
this the party returned to Atglen.

other hand, the revised Pe-ru-na
IS a better remedy for some conditions
than Ka-tar-no. They are both in
tended as catarrh remedies. They have
both done a great work in relieving
catarrh, chronic and acute. Many
hundreds OF cases OF chronic catarrh
have recovered while taking Ka-tar-nO
and the same is true Of the revised Pc
ru-na during the last six years since
its revision.
There is a difference, however. in
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In
deed. this Is exactly why the revision
was made. to meet such cases. But
where no laxative is needed. where the
bowels are regular or inclined to be
loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar-
no) is the better remedy.
The revised Pe-ru-na Is for sale at

MONEY AND CHURCHES.

The amount Of money spent upon
their churches is always some gauge
Of a peoples devotion. People do
not spend great sums of money on
their churches, and rob themselves Of
the Injuries and even the necessities
of life, unless they believe in their
religion and the things for which it
stands. In every Russian village the
church is the great building of the
region. With its golden domes and
its curious double crosses, it towers
above all the homes and stores and
factories. The village may consist
Of squalid huts, but the church is
often stately, or, if more humble, is
embellished with gold and silver or
namcnts and icons framed in Jewels,

CATS MUST WEAR COLLARS.

Not long ago Munich decided to
impose a tax on cats, and now the
Swiss capital of Berne is thinking
of doing the same thing. Gar too
many pussies!' is the cry; and it is
high time that every cat, as in Mu-
mich, should wear a collar, showing
to whom she belongs, or be taken up
as having no visible means of sub
sistence, as rogue and vagabond,
and put out of existence. 1t is COM
planned that in Berne and the sur
rounding district there is an alto
gether immoderate number of cats,
and that they wage incessant war on
the none too numerous wild singing
birds, which are much priced in
Switzerland.

THE HIGH BROW.

The slang ban on "highbrow' is

Of language. It is perfectly good

denotes that amusing class in the
community who are not content to be
merely and modestly intellectual, but
who in addition make great parade
of their intellectually, who must be
imposing, patronizing and pompous.

PART IN NATURES SCHEME
Snake Really Is Most Useful crea-
ture, Though Never Likely to
Be Popular.

What is the use of snakes? In
their ''going on their belly" the cir
cumstance that so often offended Ba-
con, lies one of their greatest uses,
because that, together with their in
ternal formation and external cover
ing, enables them to penetrate where
no larger carnivorous animal could
venture, into dark and noisome mo-
raises, bog jungles, swamps amid the
tangled vegetation of the tropics,
where swarms Of the lesser reptiles,
on which so many Ct them feed,
would outbalance the harmony Of ma
ture.
Wondrously and exq,lisitely con-
structed for their habitat, they are
able to exist where the higher ami
mails could not; and while they help
to clear those inaccessible places of
the lesser ver1nin, they themselves
supply food for o number of the
smaller mammalia, which, with
many carnivorous birds, devour vast
numbers Of young snakes.
The hedgehog, weasel, ichneumon,
rat, peccary, badger, goat, hog, and
an immense number of birds keep
snakes within due limits, while the
latter perform their part among the
grain devouring ard herbivorous les
ser atures.-Harper's Weekly.
