The Great Catarrh Cure
JOE WHEELER'S CHARGE
Major-General Joseph Wheeler, com
manding the cavalry forces in front of
Santiago and the author of "The Santi
ago Campaign," in speaking of the
great catarrh remedy, Pe-ru-na, says:
"1 join with Semi turn Sullivan, Koach
and McEnery in their good opinion of
Pe-ru-na. It' is recommended to me
by those who have used it as an excel
lent tonio and particularly effective
as a cure for catarrh."
United States Senator McEnery,
Hon. S. D. McEnery, United States
Senator from Louisiana, says the follow
ing in regard to Pe-ru-na:
"Pe-ru-na is an excellent tonic. I
have used it sufficiently to say that I
believe it to be all that you claim for
it. S. D. McEnery, New Orleans,
Louisiana."
The microbes that cause chills and fever and malaria enter the system
through mucous membranes made porous by catarrh. Pe-rn-u;v heals the mu
cous membranes and prevents the entrance of malarial germs, thus preventing
and curing these affections. .
AN ODD SNAKE TRAP.
filicn't Tin end Ita Own Temper Im
prison a CobAi.
Dr. Arthur Stradllng, the celebrated
make savant who in his own person
demonstrated hundred of times the
truth of the theory of immunity by
inoculation in the case of snake-bites,
tells of an odd kind of snake-trap that
caught Its victim securely. It was a
biscuit tin, and In the bottom of it
were some macaroons.
A cobra spied the tin. but a mouse
was ahead of the cobra. The little
thief was having a good time, regaling
.Itself on macaroons, nil unconscious
that a snake was preparing to regale
Itself on mouse.
Into the tin went the head of the
make, but the head that went in was
destined to como out less easily. The
rough edges of the tin Irritated the
cobra, and involuntarily it dilated its
hood. That made it a prisoner. With
the hood dilated the head could not be
withdrawn, and the cobra remained
In Its tin prison until morning, when
It was easily captured and killed.
Dr. Stradllng, who knows the natives
of India as well as he knows the snakes
of that land, tells of an interesting
theory held by these people. They are
firmly convinced that for every human
being a snake bites it loses one joint
When the number of deaths the snake
has caused equals the number of Its
Joints, the venomous head alone re
mains. The snake has now reached
the height of its wicked desires, and
at this point it develops wings and tri
umphantly disappears.
An exception to this rule Is found on
the other side of the world, in the case
the rattlesnake, for the natives of
ome parts of America are said to be
lieve that this snake gains a thimble
for every man it kills. By counting
these they can calculate with precision
how many people a particular rattle
nako has bitten.

M-xfcan Customs.
It Is a little startling to newcomers
at first to notice the universal custom
In Mexico of addressing persons of high
and low degree by their first names.
As soon as friends are at all well ac
quainted they address each other by
the given name, and this is done not
only by those of the same age and sex,
but Indiscriminately among young men
and young women, young people and
elder persons. In the latter case, or
between elder persons, a respectful
prefix Is used, as "Don" Rlcardo. Pub
lic characters are also commonly re
ferred to by their first names, even the
wife of the president of the republic
being affectionately called "Carmen
clta" by all classes. In the household
the bead of the bouse is called Don
Jose or Don Manuel by the servants,
and a son in distinction is known as
Manuelito (little Manuel). Among ser
vants the customs regarding the names
.given superiors are not unlike those
of the negroes of the -southern United
tullcs. x lie lunrsi imoaco, vi luc Dtri-
vants that have grown up In a family,
speak to the heads of the house as Nino
or Nina (masculine and feminine for
child), call the wife and mother senor
lta, regardless of the fact that she may
have attained three-score. The ser
vants distinguish between one of their
own class and a friend of their master
or mistress by such distinctions. If a
caller Is to be announced it Is a senor
ita, regardless of ber age, that is In
the parlor. If a woman of the common
class awaits the mistress It Is a senora.
A gentleman of the upper classes Is re
ferred to as a senor, while a laborer
will be called a muchacho (boy). Mod
ern Mexico.
Cannons.
Cannons for use In warfare appear to
have been made of many substances
which would appeal very unsuitable to
our modern Ideas. It must, however,
be remembered that In the early days
of artillery powder was very coarse
and slow-burning, and the range was
very small. The wear and tear, there
fore, on the bore of the gun was ai
nothing compared to what it Is now.
For instance, the Swedes in the time of
Gustavus Adolphus used cannon of
leather, and In 1039 similar weapons
were made In Scotland under the direc
tion of Sir Alexander Hamilton, who
had seen service in Sweden. Cannon
have also been made of wood and
stone, sometimes lined with a bore of
metal and sometimes not. Catinon mini"
of almost pure gold have been found
In India. It is said that after Cortez
left Mexico the Mexicans tried to Imi
tate his cannon In terra cotta. Krupp
has been credited with an experiment
in paper guns, that Is to say, field
pieces of small caliber composed of a
metal core surrounded by compressed
paper pulp. Such guns would, of
course, be very much lighter, and
would be much easier to carry about
than metal guns. Of guns not used In
warfare the most curious were those
used to Are salutes at a winter fete In
Petersburg In the year 1740. when six
guns were made of Ice. It Is snld that
they had an effective range of sixty
yards, and that they all withstood the
test of firing without bursting.

GET TIPS FROM CROOKS.
Bank Cffielala Take Mean, to Protect
Their Treaanre from Thieves.
It is said by a police official at City
nail headquarters that some of the
city banks, whose hoard of surplus
cash has been increasing largely of
late, have been experimenting with an
expedient long in use by Bank of Eng
land officials of paying known crooks
for Information of any contemplated
raid upon their vaults. The Bank of
England's first experiment of this kind
dates from 1850, when the directors of
the bank listened to a startling proposi
tion made by a "ditch digger."
The laborer told the directors that h
had discovered a new and unsuspected
method of getting into the cellar vaults,
where the gold and silver bars -were
kept, and that he would sell his secret
to them for money. The directors hesi
tated, believing that they had taken
every precaution against loss from the
vaults tn putting up heavy masonry,
with plenty of Iron bars, and by man
ning the building with armed watch
men. But finally they granted the man,
who seemed to talk fairly, a chance to
try his plan, and a night was named
for the undertaking.
At the appointed time a committee
of the directors descended to the cellar
and heard a peculiar scratching sound
under their feet. Two hours later the
floor CECEi-.i ar..1 tr-.o ..--. i

bed up serenely, Uke the evil spirits in
the spectacular drama. All around them
lay bars of precious metal, totaling lr
value 3,000,000. The man explained
satisfactorily how it was dome, and as
a reward the directors assured him an
Income for life on an Investment of
$10,000. The crook was content, and
It is believed he remained honest ever
afterward.
But other cracksmen were tempted
by his luck to try the same game, and
the directors were inundated with sug
gestions and tips on new methods of
burglary and how to prevent them.
Among other things, they paid $20,000
for a process, invented by a young
chemist, for copying the ink, paper,
watermarks and designs of the bank
notes so perfectly as to defy detection.
The directors found they could use his
system more satisfactorily and more
profitably than their own In the produc
tion of their currency.
Despite the fact that these expendi
tures have run up into big figures in
the last half century, the directors of
to-day say that all the money was well
Invested. Chicago Chronicle.
HOME FOR INEBRIATE WOMEN.

In her home for inebriate women at
Duxhurst, Reigate, England, Lady

Extraragant Dress in Enjrland.
Members of the nobility in England
make a great deal of pocket money by
writing for the papers and magazines.
One of these writers is Lady Violet
Grevllle, and, according to her, the
American women are responsible for
the extravagance of English women to
day. Ten or fifteen years ago, she says,
the American women, "fragile, beauti
ful cTcaturt s," appeared in England,
wearing Paris gowns and beautifully
colffured, and society succumbed to
them. That was the end of .dinner
dresses that lasted for years and trous
seau gowns that were worn for a life
tlnie. Then was the beginning of
frown and discontent, and debt on the
part of the Englishman, but the Eng.
llah woman was patrioticthat's the ;
way lmqj v loiei puis ix ana was not
to be outdone by the Yankee million
aires, and she took to good gowns.

To Do Away With Kar Trumpets.
A telephone has been invented for
deaf people which is intended to do
away with the necessity of carrying
large and clumsy ear trumpets which
are now in common uso. The new de
vice consists of a small transmittet
which is fastened to the coat, while
the receiver can be carried in the
pocket except when wanted. It is
then to be placed to the ear exactly as
is an ordinary telephone receiver. The
whole apparatus is worked by a small
electric battery, which also finds a
place in the pocket. Not only is the
new apparatus more convenient than
the old-fashioned ear trumpet, but it is
claimed by the inventor that it entire
ly does away with the necessity of talk
ing in a loud tone of voice. Chicago
