OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS No Family Should Be Without It. Perana ia a great family medicine. Ibe women praise it as well as the men ; it is just the thing for the many little catarrhal ailments of childhood. The following testimonials from thankfnl men and women tell in direct, sincere language what their success has been in the use of Peruna in their f&milies: Louis J. f-cberrinEky, 103 Locust street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes: "I will tell yon briefly what Peruna has done for me. I took a severe cold which gave me a hard cough. All "doctors' medicines failed to cure it. I took one bottle of Perana and was well. "Then my two children had bad coughs accompanied by gagging. My wife had stomach trouble for years. She took Peruna and now she is well. "I cannot express my thanks in words, but I recommend your remedy at every opportunity, for I can con scientiously say that there is no medi cine like Peruna. Nearly evervone in this town knew about the sickness of myself and family, and they have seen with astonishment what done for us. Many followed our ex ample, and the result was health. Thanking you heartily, I am." L. J. Scherrinsky. Mrs. Nannie Wallace, president of the Western Baptist Mis' sionary society, writes: "I consider Peruna an indispensable article in my medicine chest. It is twenty medicines in one, and has so far cured every sickness that has been in my home for five years. I consider it of special value to weakly women, as it builds up the general health, drives out disease and keeps you in the best of health." Mrs. Nannie Wallace.

T la often asserted that the churches are losin? their hold upon the people because the revelations of science, an 1n creasin? liberty of thought and act, and a destructive criti cism have undermined their authority, but their growth is nm nt fhe most remarkable phenomena of the times. . At tention is called to it now by various news items - concerning church buildings. Not long ago we had descriptions of the great Roman Catholic Cathedral in London, a magnificent snecimen of church architecture that might almost suggest a rivalry with gome of the splendid medieval monuments to re ligion. The other day it was reportea mat tne Aiernoaiscs naa paid $1,050,000 for a site in the same city on which to erect a central headquarters that will be constructed on a grand scale.

HERE was once a man who kept account of his worries for a given length of time, and then reviewed the record to see how these anxieties looked in the light of subse quent developments. He said that out of all the worries in which he had indulged himself during several years only two had any substantial basis, and these were trivial. ; The experiment might be a good one for some other folk to try. There is no reason to suppose that worrying ever did a single human being one bit of good, and it has done an im amount of harm. In the first place, there is the time . snent in this uncomfortable occupation which should have been given to rest, recreation or actual worn, xueu mere is me vitality lost by it, which is often more than would sufllee to remove the cause of the worry, if properly applied. Third, and not by any means least, there is the discomfort caused by the recital of the anxious person's worries to other people.

VERY mother having a daughter of marriageable or approaching marriageable age meditates now and then on the sort of man she would be willing to have her daughter marry, and young men who call at the house are instinctively classified as eligible or not eligible. -No matter how firmly .mothers may deny this impeachment, it is the truth. . . It would be interesting, however, and, perhaps, astounding, to know what sort of a man most mothers would pick out to be their son-in-law. In this matter, strange to say, pride and vanity sometimes play, a stronger part than love. Two things ought to weigh most in making this choice; first, the character, and second, the worldly prospects of the man. Unhappily many mothers and many daughters, too allow a man's wealth and social position to count for more than the man himself. Every day one sees fine girls given to dissolute, worthless fellows who happen to have inherited a fortune and a family name. A true mother would rather see her child the wife of a decent boot black than bound to a drunkard and a rake whatever his wealth and lineage, for a girl mated to a man whom she does not love will be unhappy, and what is the nse of glory and splendor if one has not happiness? The man who is most likely to be a good husband is a cleanly, positive man of the girl's own class. He need not be handsome or rich or too good. He ought to be human and to have had some experience with the world, for that quality makes a man liberal and charitable. It will be well jf he Is thoughtful otf little things, for. the man wlio thinks of small courtesies and kindnesses is unselfish. Let "him have enough to support a home without pinching and let him have prospects of improving his fortune. This is very important, for love and poverty do not always get on well together. A girl is a fool o sell herself for an establishment; bat she is no less m fool.to give herself away for nothing. Men and women love better on a full stomach and affection must be ardent indeed to make no for a lean pantry and a cold stove. Girls should nse their heads in the game of love. The marriage of reason, fortunately. is not an institution in this country, but the marriage of unrea son is only too common, as the divorce records prove. The mother who encourages her daughter to seek a good match instead of merely a good husband is unworthy of exer cising the privileges of motherhood. San Francisco Bulletin. 0 Is Success a True Test? NE of. the gravest problems confronting the religious leaders of the twentieth century is the idolization of that ! 1 1 tt A . J K..AAa u4 cnnl m 1 ' Ufe has become thoroughly permeated with the religion of the man who succeeds in landing certain prises for which he has striven with every ounce of energy and intelli gence he possesses. In fact, the man who succeeds, as the world calls it, does so nine times out of ten at the cost of many sentiments that he should cherish. It is the undoubted province of religion and of the sincere believers in Christianity as it was founded by its Divine Leader to attempt to make some headway against the gross material-. ism that is sweeping over the breadth and length of the land. : One of the most distressing signs of the times is the ever ready ; and apparently final "dollar gauge" that modern society ap-j pears to have adopted as its one criterion of a man and his works. The query, Does it pay? is but too often the sole qnes-j tion demanded when some proposal is made. The fellow query, where it is an individual, follows patly, Does he make money 1 Any sensible being understands that these questions have their legitimate and most important sphere, but - they ; have ! overrun these properly narrowed bounds and crept into the very home and every social function of American society. A j very slight study of the teachings of Christ will reveal clearly j that such a condition is intrinsically opposed to . a favored ; growth of true religion and forms the dominant obstacle to . that religious revival so eagerly sought and so long delayed. Baltimore Herald. Good Roads. OOD roads are among the evidences of high civilization or national necessity or an advance in prosperity. They are certainly a luxury. At a more primitive' period of our own development, that told about the whole story of their place in public estimation. If a city or smaller community could afford them, well and good; their construc tion was justifiable, like the erection of statues and fountains. "If It could not, why, it didn't lose much. We were a rugged ; people and jounces and jolts were accepted as a part of our ' discipline. We didn't need the Foods for military . purposes, as did the old Romans or as the Spaniards thought they did fwhen they built the splendid highway from Ponce to San Juan in the island of Porto Kico, and we never dreamed that good roads were among the most powerful levers in industrial and commercial development. There has at last been an awakening to the value of smooth and hard highways. A new conviction has dawned upon us. We are still stretching ourselves and struggling with it, but it has found lodgment and will in time work its way. Most of ns are longing for the day when instead of enjoying a mile or two of improved highway, which only emphasizes the discomfort and wretchedness of the ten miles which we may strike later on, we can start out on a half day's or a day's ride over coun try roads that shall continue from start to finish as good as any of the samples. Boston Transcript. Hi What Can We Afford ? OW many times in the course of a year we use the little sentence "I can't afford it," usually with a complaining note in voice or mind as we realize the difference be tween what we ca pay for and what we desire. Yet 'people usually, if not always, afford, what they want most. Even a millionaire can't buy everything on earth; he has to take his choice, like other men, but, like other men, he nan ages to afford what he wants most. By what we can or cannot afford we usually mean what the utmost living we are able to make will or will not suffer us to buy. But here is another way to calculate. "The cost of a thing." said Thoreau, "is the amount of what I will call Ufe which is required to be exchanged for it Immediately, or in the long run." Stevenson says, "I have been accustomed to put it .to myself, perhaps more clearly, that the price we. have to pay for money is paid in liberty." Here is a new measure of what we can afford not how many purchasable things we can manage to barter our life and liberty for, but what amount of life or liberty we can afford to exchange for any purchasable commodity; in a word, what kind of a living we can afford to earn. "Do you want a thousand-dollar income?" says Ste venson, "or a five thousand, or ten thousand? And can. yon afford the one you want?" What a revolution in the world of economics and finance were every one honestly to ask and answer himself that question! Harper's Weekly. COLORADO MINING KING DEAD. No Satisfying Her.

This is a strange legacy to leave to posterity ; a heavy burden to place upon the shoulders of the young. This treacherous disease dwarfs the body and hinders the growth and development of the faculties, and the child born of blood poison, or scrofula-tainted parentage, is poorly equipped for life's duties. Scrofula is a disease -with numerous and varied symptoms; enlarged glands or tumors about the neck and armpits, catarrh of the head, weak eyes and dreadful skin emotions upon different parts of the body show the presence of tubercular or scrofulous matter in the blood. This dangerous and stealthy disease entrenches itself securely in the system and attacks the bones and tissues, destroys the red corpuscles of the blood, resulting in white swelling, a pallid, waxy appearance of the skin, loss of strength and a gradual wasting away of the body. S. S. S. combines both purifying and tonic properties, and is guaran teed entirely vegetable, making it the ideal remedy in all scrofulous affections. It purifies the deteriorated blood, makes it rich and strong and a complete and permanent cure is soon effected. S. S. S. improves the digestion and assimilation of food, restores the lost properties to the blood and quickens the circulation, bringing a healthy color to the skin and vigor to the weak and emaciated body.

Search for the world's greatest store of gold was cut short by the death at Colorado Springs of Wlnfield Scott Stratton, Colorado's bonanza king. Up to the time of his death Mr. Stratton was spending $50,000 a month in sink ing a shaft into the heart of Battle Mountain, in order to lay bare the mother lode of precious metal from which all the fabulously rich veins of Cripple Creek diverge. Had this work been successfully ' consummated, the son of a poverty-stricken boat-builder, himself for many years a carpenter, would have died unquestionably the richest man In the world. It would have been a fitting climax to a life that reads like a boy's story book of adven tures. Wlnfield Scott Stratton was born at Jeffersonville, Ind., on July 22, 1S48, be ing the only son of Myron Stratton, a boat builder of that town. Hard work at his father's craft occupied the boy's early youth, but his own roving dispo sition and the lurid tales of returning 49ers from California soon made him leave his home and drift rapidly out into the golden West, as thousands of other young men were doing at that time. Unlike most other young men, however, Stratton let mines and mining strictly alone until he had earned by- steady application to his work at a car penter's bench a small capital of $3,000. The latter portion of this sum was amassed at Colorado Springs, where in 1873 the young laboring man made his first venture Into the mining world. He put all of his little fortune Into the Yretaba mine in the Cunningham Gulch, and never received one cent of It back again. The experience gave him the mining fever, however, and a fierce determination to get back from the bowels of the earth the money that he hud seen swallowed up there. It was the turning point in Stratton's career. He now felt an irresistible de sire to prospect for gold. Carpentering he pursued long enough each year to secure money for an outfit, and the rest of the time was spent in investigating ' every miniug settlement in Colorado. For almost twenty years Winfield Stratton sternly pursued this profitless life of treasure-seeking, and at last he . "struck it rich." The Fourth of July, ' 1S91, gave the tireless prospector bis re . ward in the staking out of the famous : Independence mine at Cripple Creek. From this property Stratton has been i drawing gold at the rate of $100,000 a month ever since that time. Indeed, for many years he gave strict orders that his mine should not produce more than this income, as he considered that gold inside a granite mountain was in a much safer plaee than any bank or Rafety deposit vault could offer him. It Is even recorded that he sternly repri manded his entire mine crew because during one month they inadvertently sent out $80,000 too much. The immense fortune gained from the W. S. STRATTON. Independence gave the former carpen ter ample means to attempt the execu tion of his life dream and to strike into the heart of the mountain for the moth er lode of the radiating gold veins of Cripple Creek. It was his often de clared intention never to stop work on his shaft till he had reached his goaL and he was absolutely convinced that such a goal existed. "I have spent," said Mr. Stratton last year, "$7,000,000 on this plan already. I intend to go down into the Interior of the earth till I find. the limitless deposits of gold that I know to be there or until human in genuity and modern machinery fail me. I set no other limits to my quest." GREAT ALPINE TUNNEL. Danorer Attending Construction of Soadws; Thronh the Mountains. In building a great Alpine tunnel. one of the greatest dangers to the workmen is the high temperature. The Simplon tunnel is at a much lower alti tude above sea level than any of the others, and having so much mountain on top, it is naturally very hot. When the (Jot hard was built, no fewer than GOO deaths occurred among the workmen; this appalling mortality being chiefly due to changes of tem perature encountered by the men when coming in and out of the tunnel. Both the engineer and the contractor - lost their lives. But in the Simplon, the workmen's health Is carefully looked to. They come out from their labors in the tunnel Into a large, warm build ing, where they change their mining suits for ary clothes, and are pro vided with hot or cold douche baths. Excellent meals are given at a noml nal cost, and medical attendance Is gratis. The problem of how a great Alpine tunnel could be properly ventilated was one that long baffled engineers. To sink shafts through the mountains was out of the question, but Sig. Saccardo, a famous engineer of Bologna, has in vented a system by which vast volumes of fresh air can be blown into a tunnel by ventilating fans placed near the mouth. This was first Introduced on the Prac- chla tunnel beneath the Apennines, but not until after a heavy train with two engines, conveying one of the crowned heads of Europe and his suite, rushed out of the exit of the Pracchia tunnel one day with its engineman and fire man lying almost suffocated. But the only satisfactory solution to the ventilation question Is the adoption of electric traction through tunnels of great length. This system has worked well at Baltimore, where an electric locomotive is attached to the expresses when approaching the long tunnel which takes them through, steam en gine and all, at from fifty to sixty miles an hour. There is no stop at the end of the tunnel, for the electrical locomo tive runs ahead into a siding and leaves the other engine. Since October of last year the work at the Italian end of the Simplon has hn much delayed by the flooding of the tunnel with large volumes of wa ter from a source that remained long undiscovered. The water burst in while the tunnel was being bored through a soft marble, and work could not be continued until the engineers had di verted the stream from which the water came. Pearson's.
