The perspiration incident to warm weather has been checked. This de tains within the system poisonous ma terials which have heretofore found es cape through the perspiration. Most of the poisonous materials re tained in the system by the checked crspiration find their way out of the Ixxly, if at all, through the kidneys. This throws upon the kidneys extra labor. They become charged and over loaded with the poisonous excretory materials. This has a tendency to in flame the kidneys, producing functional diseases of the kidneys and sometimes llright's disease. Peruna acts upon the skin by stimu lating the emunctory glands and ducts, thus preventing the detention of pois onous materials which should pass out.

A huge, finely mounted antlered head hung' Just above the sideboard In the dining-room. This trophy of some huntsman's skill was fastened so firm ly to the wall that the glistening neck teemed to be coming right out through the plaster. Robert, who was. seeing this decoration for the first time, eyed It with lively curiosity and very evident uneasiness. It looked almost too life like for comfort. Finally the boy, asking to be excused, slipped from his chair, tiptoed Into the next room, and then, flushing with em barrassment, returned to bis place at the table. "What's the trouble, Robert?" asked his host. "I wanted to see," explained candid Robert, sheepishly, "If that animal's legs were really as long as that, or If he were standing on something la an other room."

Here Are Some SaKeatloiii hr Writer on liiliintllon. A writer In an American education al Journals offers some Interesting suggestions for teaching children, says the Dundee Advertiser. It la useless, be suggests, to instruct children by us ing technical terms or even terms that would be descriptive to a grown-up. The point Is Illustrated by an ingenious parallel. . Instead of telling a child to. "sit up straight" It would be better to tell him to "sit up tall." In the same way if a child shouts too loudly In sing ing, he should le told to "listen" after '.akiiig "a long smell," and if he re.it Izes what Is meant and does It, thlq will set the muscles of the waist and check the flo,w of breath, while the child will be unconscious to Its ac tion." "Such suggestion as the following do far more good than scientific terms in procuring the right tone-production from the child. Do not sing In a grqwllng tone. Do not sing in a scold ing tone." "A fish horn tone sounds terribly descriptive, but we Imagine Iti vividness would be lost on an English child. Sing with a pleasant face. Sing with a smile. Sing like the sweetest bird you ever heard. Sing a kindly tone. Sing a sweet, loving tone. Make your lips sing to you. Whisper aloud, as though you wauted -Borne friend in the furthest civrner of the room to hear you." It Is to be hoped that after all this there would be no dan ger of the children learning to sing in a maudlin tone. For American Citizens. . When the visitor approached the dip lomatic gallery of the Senate chamber the door-keeper Informed him, says a tvHtof In 1,A OVillnlAlnliln TI..KII,. rr Ledger, that the gallery was reserved . for foreign representatives. "It Is, hey?" said the visitor. "Well, I want to tell you right now that this Is a free country and this Is the Senate of the United States, and I demand ad mission In the name of American citi zenship." "Oh!" said the doorkeeper. "Why didn't you say at first that you were an American citizen? Just step round to the second door from here. That gallery is reserved for American citi zens." With chest puffed up, the stranger betook himself to the door Indicated, and was at once admitted to the public gallery. Advertising; Pays. It was a surprise to the summer ' boarder to learn that one of the group of graduates from the seminary, to the "farewell exercises" of which she had I listened the year before, was married and settled In a home of her own. "I remember her," said the summer boarder, when the name wns mentioned, "but she did not strike me as being as attractive as most of the other girls." "Um-m !" said her Informant. "Well, I guess 'twas her graduating essay that kerrled her off so quick, maybe. Her subject was, 'How to Keep House on Six Dollars a Week,' and It fetched most every young fellow In town, they tell me. By what I hear, all she had to do was to sit at home and pick and choose."

To speak of a greenhouse suggests the Idea of an expensive building that requires much labor on the part of lome person to keep In order. While It Is possible to spend almost any amount, a very practical house can be made of hot-bed sash, using the south piazza as a basis for operations. Hot bed sash, all ready for use, costs from $3.25 to $3.50 each, and measures 3x0" feet; the glass In these frames meas ures 10x12 inches. Buy the snsh first, and then build according to the number of sash. This little greenhouse can be heated by a smokeless blue-flame oil stove without injury to the flowers. For a beginner some of the bulb family will be best. Of late years, Roman hyacinth", nnrc!onis of various, kinds, freeslas and tulips have had a great sale In the winter months. When grown for cut flowers they are put f BIDE VIEW OF GREENHOUSE.

The general-purpose farm horse Is one that can be well utilized in ordi nary farm work of all kinds and can also do the limited amount of road work needed In connection with the working of the medium-sized or small farm, says a well-known farmer. A horse called a "chunk" In market, standing 15 to 10 hands high, weighing from 1,100 to 1,400 pounds, compactly built, with good feet and legs, a tract able, lively disposition, a good, clean, rapid way of going at walk or trot, Is in brief, the kind of a horse that I would call a general-purpose horse. This kind of a horse has a place on farms, and we say Is the most val uable class, so far as farm work Is concerned. You will note that he par takes of the qualities of both the draught and coach or heavy roadster types, In both his conformation and disposition. Impure Maple Strap. Impure mnple sugar and sirup Is the rule rather than the exception, both in this country and in Canada. The Canadian government has been making an investigation of the matter, and out of 85 samples of sirup only 22 were found to be genuine, while 53 were adulterated. In the same way, out of 26 samples of sugar only 11 were gen uine.

A rooster's age is determined by the size of his spurs, if they are long he Is "antique." If there is a small but ton on the ankle where the spurs come later he Is a young bird. Ducks are Invariably judged by the under lip of the bill. If a dressed duck will sus tain Its weight by Its under bill, "lay it back and try another," for there Is no telling how old It Is; certainly too old to be real tender. But If the bill snaps easily It is a young bird. Gob blers are told by their spurs, the same as roosters, the age of the hen turkey being determined by the length of 'Its beard. Aside from the test applied to ducks there Is one Infallible rule which can be applied with safety In all cases. The back part of the breastbone can be bent easily In a young fowl. If It Is sharp and hard and refuses to yield to pressure from your thumb It Is an old bird. Iowa Farmers' Phones. For the first time a census of tele phones has been taken In the State of Iowa, and this has disclosed that there are now In use 222,325 Instruments. Of this number 104,524 are classed as In struments used ln connection with rnrnl line. Th"t I", they are used by the farmers of Iowa. During the past few years the Gov ernment Weather Bureau ln Des Moines has arranged for telephone dis tribution of forecasts, and a large per centage of these farmers now receive by telephone every morning the fore cast of the weather for the coming thlrty-slx hours. This, ln fact, has been one strong Incentive for Installa tion of telephones ln the homes of the farmers of the State. Bnlld a Toolhoase. ' Every farmer needs a good tool- house. It should be so convenient of access that there need be no excuse for leaving farm Implements exposed to the weather when not ln use. Prop erly cared for, many Implements that now last only a few years ought to be serviceable as long as the farmer lives to need them. Besides, a tool that has not been rusted, warped and cracked by exposure will work as well the sec ond' and third year of use as the first. On many farms the tools are so much injured by being left out of doors that after the first season they cost more for repairs than they save ln labor. Profitable Apple Trees. H. A. Squires, living near Dearborn, Mo., has 125 trees of Wealthy apples and seventeen trees of Summer Queen j there are eight trees of another early sort, making 150 trees, or three acres, of apples ripening at this season. This year Mr. Squires sold the fruit from these three acres for $1,000 net, after paying for the barrels In which the fruit was shipped. More than $300 an acre Is not a bad record In a year like this. Of course; Mr. Squires had a good crop, some trees making six and seven barrels of choice apples, but prices were not as high as is often the case. Handy Ensr Tnrner. When keeping eggs for hatching they should be turned frequently. The sketch shows a combination egg drawer and turner which Is very effective. The bottom of the egg drawer is removed and the eggs rest upon a roller curtain cloth, which winds upon a rod with a small crank. Winding the roller a very short distance turns each egg and Jostles It slightly. A single turn on the crank will usually be sufficient. Cotton Greatest Export Crop. Cotton Is king ln export record of the United States for the fiscal year Just closed. The total value of raw cotton exported, for the first time crossed the $400,000,000 line, and exceeded by far the value of any article of merchandise sent out of the country. , The exports' of cotton have Increased over $100, 000,000 since 1901. The manufactured cotton goods were also larger than heretofore, and aggregated $53,000,000. Great American Hen. Some one has figured that the Amer ican hen each years earns enough to buy all the silver and gold dug out of the mines, all the sheep In the country mid their wool, and leave a balance equal to the entire year's crop of rye, barley, buckwheat and potatoes, says Farming. Or, as a hen enthusiast writes, "she pays the Interest on all the farm mortgages, pays, the entire State and county taxes of the whole Union, and then leaves a balance large enough to give every man, woman and child In the United States a dollar. EGO TURNING DEVICE. R0PE8 A MOUNTAIN LION. nanchmaa Has a Strennons Tim with a SavaKe Beast. It was a foolish thing for him to do, nor can be account for the notion that possessed him, but Nate Gardner, a Fall River County ranchman, roped a mountain lion and had a strenuous time later on, says the New York World correspondent at Sioux Falls, S. D. While riding across country Gardner sighted the cat sneaking toward a bunch of timber about 000 yards dlc taut The surprise of both man and lion was mutual, and for a moment they stood looking at each other. Then x the cat gave one of Its screaming cries and started for the trees. Roused by the movement, Gardner put spurs to his mount and pursued, loosening up bis lariat as he rode. lie made his cast Just as the Hon was about to enter the timber, and the rope ' settled down over the head of the prey. The trained cow-pony stopped with a Jerk, planted his feet, and when the rope became taut the mountain lion was thrown violently off Its feet, turn inglng a couple of somersaults ln the air. For a moment the animal lay still, with the pony holding the rope braced against It But It was Just for a mo ment for) regaining its feet with a Jump, the fierce animal started for the ranchman and his pony. The Hon had its ears laid back, its fangs exposed and emitted blood-curdling yells. Then commenced a race for life. It needed no urging for the sturdy cow pany to make a start. Turning as If on a pivot It took a back track at mad speed, with the mountain lion taking up the slack 'of the rope. It was a pretty chase for about half a mile, when the endurance of the pony and the severity of Its somersault- throw told on the mountain Hon, which at last found the pace too swift The rope again became taut as the Hon dropped behind, and It was not long before the Hon was dragged off Its feet The rest was easy. When the pony finally was pulled up there was a dead mountain Hon dragging along at the end of the lariat, a thankful man on the pony's back, and a pony relieved of a great fear. THEFTS OF THE TRADE RAT. Always Leaves Something: in Ex change for What It Steals. One of the oddest little animals in existence Is the California wood rat, better known as the "trade rat." It owes the latter name to the fact that, though it is a great thief, it never steals anything without putting some thing else In Its place. . The story Is told of a paste pot which had been left over night In the assay office at the Silver Queen mine and which was found In the morning filled with the oddest collection of rub bish. This was the work of trade rots. They had stolen the paste and left In exchange a piece of stick, a length of rope, some odds and ends of twine and an unbroken glass funnel. The object of the trade rat In so scrupulously paying for what he takes is something of a mystery, but these same rats certainly take the greatest pleasure ln the odds and ends which they collect. A description Is given of a trade rat's nest found In an unoccupied house. The outside was composed entirely of Iron spikes laid In perfect symmetry, with the points outward. Interlaced with the spikes were about two dozen forks and spoons and three large butcher knives. There were also a large carving fork. knife and steel, several plugs of to bacco, an old purse, a quantity of small carpenter tools, Including several aug- . ers, and a watch of which the outside casing, the glass and the works were all distributed separately, so as to make the best show possible. Altogeth er the oddest collection 1 None of these things was of any earthly use to the rats. They must have collected them Just In the same way that a child hoards up odds and ends to play with.
