Nothing Too Hot,

Chabert, the fire king, who was a
popular favorite in London many years
ago, claimed to be able to swallow
arsenic and other poisons with i'm
punity. Visitors to his entertainment
were requested to come provided with
phosphorus. prussic acid. arsenic and
oxalic acid. which he proceeded to
consume before their eyes, taking an
antidote afterward which was sup
posed to neutralize their effects.
Then, to show that he was as i'm.
pervious to heat as to poison, he would
take raw leg of lamb into an oven
heated to 220 degrees and remain in
side until the joint was cooked, when
it was carved and handed around to
the audience. The performance con.

GUARD YOUR FAMILY

PERUNA protects the family against

a case of catarrh of the head.
Any one suffering from catarrh, Sc
we're or mild, acute or chronic, in
any organ or part of the human body,
should at once get bottle of Pc
RUNA.
AS soon as the value of PERUNA
is fully appreciated in every house
hold, both as a preventive and a re-
lief from catarrhal affections, tens of
thousands of lives will be saved and
hundreds of thousands of chronic
lingering cases will be prevented.
PERUNA, indeed, is household safe

A course of PERUNA never fails
to bring relief in such cases, since
there is no remedy like it, as thou
sands of people have testified.

MATERNAL INSTINCT is ALIVE
Not Necessarily Abandoned by Women
Who Have Chosen to Pursue
"Career."

We often hear that women used to
DO more maternal than they are now.
The difference was that they had
larger families and were compelled to
do more work about the house, be-
cause modern household conveniences
were then wanting, asserts DR.. Mary
Kent Isham, a successful New York
physician. The fact of large family
Is not necessarily an indication that
there is much maternal feeling in the
mother. The maternal instinct is
found In women who want children
whether they have them or not-and
who occupy themselves preferable in
ways which deal with the young.
The majority Of single women and
Of women with careers do not lack the
maternal spirit and do not lack the
sex instinct, but they are wanting in
certain recklessness which would
enable them to accept the wrong hus-
band or go in for what has been called
"unbridled motherhood" They are
perhaps trained into too great self
control and caution. Others are too
intense and passionately maternal to
marry. They must have whole crowds
of children with whom to deal, like
the old woman in the shoe. The hus-
band is secondary consideration. A
large number of women who are en-
gagged in social service and who, for
various reasons, have been deprived
OF homes of their own, or find the
duties in their homes too limited, are
spending their generous helping of
maternal energy in a larger social
field

"BoWI of Death"

The latest thriller for amusement
parks and similar institutions is a So
called bowl of DEATH" which turns
from horizontal to a vertical posi-
ton and then back again as the rider
drives his motorcycle at high speed
around the rim. A picture of this de.
vice appears in the Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The bowl is made up
OF segments of perforated steel, is Is
feet in diameter and is hemispherical
in shape except for a fat section at
the center and sharp inward curve
at the rim designed to furnish the
rider some degree of protection against
the danger of running off the edge.
When the motorcyclist begins his ride
the bowl is horizontal, with the open
side up. AS soon as the machine at
tains sufficient speed to ride on the
vertical edge the bowl is slowly swung
to position in which the open side is
vertical.

HORSE NOT YET OBSOLETE
VIII Remain, 1t May Be Safely Assert,
ed, Long After Some Prophets
Have Been Forgotten.

Some prophets and sons of prophets
who predict that horses on the farms
will soon be only memory will have
passed away, and pleasing epitaphs
Will be carved into the stones which
mark their resting place, long before
their prophecies become fact. The in
PRODUCTION of the farm tractor will not,
as some believe, remove the horses
from the fields and from their pas
lures, Farm Machinery asserts. The
advent of the street cars did not have
that effect upon horses, neither did the
bicycle nor automobile. Today there
are more horses in this country than
there were ten years ago, and prices
are considerably higher. The one
thing that the farm tractor will do is
to supply the need of power on the
farms which horses cannot give. Take
away the farm tractors which are in
use today and several hundred thou.
sand horses would be required to re.
place them, or if borses could not be
had the lands would have to go un.
piowed and untitled. The number OF
tractors now in use will be multiplied
many times within the next ten years.
but there will be as many horses in
this country as there are today, and
prices will be even higher than now.
Farm tractors are becoming a neces.
s1ty, just as electric street cars have
become-the same as telephones have
supplanted the telegraph in a way and
have taken the place Of messenger
boys and quick delivery of mail. No
one will agree that there are not more
miles of telegraph wire in use today
than ten years ago, nor can it be said
that there are fewer messenger bows.
yet the telephone is in almost every
business house and in many house
holds, doing work for which there was
little demand few years ago.
The farm tractors will simply fit in.
to the greater needs of the country
and will dos the heavier chores and
drudgery which horses are little fit
for. They will not replace the horses,
but will simply assist them and make
life easier for them. They will also
enable farmers to breed better horses
because their mothers will be kept for
that purpose instead of spending half
or more Of their time in doing heavy
work. Let us not dream too long upon
the practicability of the horseless
farm. 1t is long way off, as yet.

SHOOK PEARLS FROM GOWN
One Woman at Least Who Believes
That Tight Styles Are Strictly
All Right.

Persons in the rose room of the AS.
ed when they heard a pretty woman
with diamonds glistening on dainty
hands say:
"The pearls have gone-the string
snapped in two"
She wore a coat with moleskin
collar, the New York Herald states.
Her husband suggested that she take
Off her coat. She then tugged on the
end of string and brought forth a
sad looking affair-six pearls left at
the end of the necklace. After stand
ing up once or twice and engaging the
attention of waiter she brought
forth a handful of pearls by the time
her husband returned from a tele-
phone call.
"Good thing this dress was tight"
she laughed.
They proceeded to count the pearls
before they ate soup and it was the
consensus that three pearls had
strayed from the string.
Again the pretty woman stood up,
shrugged her shoulders. Result, one
more pearl Two were missing. They
ate their dinner, not forgetting the
mishap, and started out Of the dining
room in Indian order, the woman first,
