the great catarrh cure and tonic. In a recent letter to the Pa
Ounpany, at Columbus, Ohio, written from Washington, D. C.,
says:
^Persuaded by a friend I have used Peruna as a tonic, and la m glad
to testify that it has greatly helped me in strength, vigor and appetite.
I have been advised by friends that it is remarkably efficacious as a cure
for the almost universal complaint of catarrh*”

Peruna is not a guess, nor an experiment; it is an absolute, scientific cer
tainty. Peruna cures caUrrh wherever located. Peruna has no substitutes—no
rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. Let no one persuade you thut some other
remedy will do nearly as well. There is no other systemic remedy for catarrh
but Peruna. Address the Peruaa Medicine Company, Columbus, Ohio, for a
free book on caUrrh, written by Dr. Hartman.

city stands Is surrounded by other high
hills, crowned with towers and ram
parts and covered with trees. The great
castle fortress stands out boldly. The
old zenana, or woman’s apartments—an
extensive bkx-k of buildings, surround

Is Inhabited. This Is a well populated
and lively quarter, since a tribe of lan
guor or hoonooinaun monkeys Lave
taken possession and dwell here In com
fort and freedom. The Hindoos relig
iously refrain from hurting or killing
any animal, and the monkeys, having
no fear, are monarchs of all they
choose to take.
The boonoomaun, or languor, Is tbe
sacred monkey, and the largest found
in India. Its height is from two and a
half to four feet; Its body Is singularly
slender and supple: its face Is black and
■iinooth, except for long white whiskers;
tbe hair on the body is gray on the
back and white under the stomach; Its
tail Is long and bare, with a single tuft
of hair on tbe end. The Hindoos have
a legend which explains its very black
face. It says that ages ago Hoonoo-
niaun, the king of the monkeys, went to
assist Rama in tbe conquest of Ceylon.
The demon king of the Island had car
ried off Llta, the wife of Kama, and be

"I HOPE YOU WON'T MENTION IT,” SAID THE GIRL. SWEETLY.
Joy the performance. He was late and
she rose to let him pass. He wanted to
see a man after the first act and she
was compelled to rise again to let him
out. This byplay occurred a third time
when he had seen the man. Then the
second act was reeled off and the big
man found It necessary to go out agaiu.
Fourth rise for the lady. Then she made
the fifth ascension as he struggled In
when the third act—the most exciting
of the play—was well under way.
Some faint glimmering of propriety
penetrated his intellect. He paused
just before completing bis clumsy
evolution.
“I beg your pardon.” he muttered.
Then he plunged on and smashed the
hat, already badly battered out of all
original semblance to Itself, tore off a
few more spangles and twisted his
frame through to where h!s scat was.
“I hope you will not mention It,” said
the girl sweetly ns she resumed her
sent and arranged things.
“Please
don't mention It. I enjoy It so much.”
She delivered the words In a cultivat
ed voice, to be sure, but she elevated
that same voice so that her words were
heard some half a dozen rows back of
her. The fat man gasped, fell Into his
seat and mopped Ills face. He sat In
that seat until the end of the play,
gazing fixedly at a small window in
the set ns If fascinated. The red ex
panded well back on his neck ns he lis
tened to the twitter of laughter and
comment of others on tlie byplay. A
round of applause following the girl's
speech only tended to make hlin more
miserable.

The' word “ship" Is masculine In
French, Italian, Spanish and Portu
guese, and possesses no sex in Teu
tonic and Scandinavian. Perhaps It
would not be an error to trace the cus
tom of feminizing ships back to the
Greeks, who called them by feminine
names, probably out of deference tc
Athene, goddess of the sea. But the
English-speaking sa”or assigns no such
reasons. The ship to him ts always n
lady, even though she be a man of
war. She possesses a waist, collars,
stays, laces, bonnets, ties, ribbons
chains, watches and dozens of othei
distinctly feminine attributes.—Col

The sailors of three men-o’-war—
American, French and British—while
in the same harbor were competing
with each other for the l»est display of
seamanship. A Yankee went to the top
of the mainmast and sttxxl there with
an arm extended. A Frenchman then
went aloft and extended lsith arms.
An Irishman on lioard the British
ship thought If lie could stand there
with a leg and an arm extended he
would be declared the most daring
sailor.
Nimbly he mounted to the
highest point and attempted to do so,

The various ropes against which he
came In contact broke bis fall, and
when near the deck he succeeded In
