Kennedy, manager of Ar mour & Co.'s exhibit at the Trans Mississippi Exposition, at Omaha, Neb., writes the following of Peruna, as a cure lor that common phase of sum mer catarth, known as indi gestion. Miss Kennedy says: "I found the continual change of diet incidental to eight years' traveling com pletely upset my digestive system. In consulting sev eral physicians they decided 1 suffered with catarrh of the stomach. "Their pre scriptions did not seem to help me any, so, reading of the remarkable cures effected by the use of Peruna I decided to try it and soon found myself well repaid. "I have now used Peruna for about three months and feel completely re juvenated. I believe 1 am permanent ly cured, and do not hesitate to give unstinted praise to yonr great remedy, Peruna." The causes of summer catarrh are first, chronic catarrh; second, derange ments of the stomach and liver; third, impure blood. Such being the case anyone who knows anything whatever about the operations of Peruna can understand why this remedy is. a permanent cure for summer catarrh. It eradicates chionic catarrh from the system, invig orates the stomach and liver, cleanses the blood of all impurities, and therefore permanently cures' by removing the cause a host of maladies peculiar to hot weather. The cause being removed the symptoms disappear of themselves.

For the extraction of rubber from the rubber tree a new process consists in cutting up the bark and roots and soak lug in dilute sulphuric acid.

An extensive building has recently been opened In Leeds (England) to be devoted to the development of cloth workers' research, dyeing, etc. It is the intention of the Cloth workers' com pany of Loudon that this college should become the leading and most complete example of a textile and dyeing school in the world. In Strasburg an engineer has Invent ed a substitute for gutta percha. In ordinary temperatures the mass is hard like pitch, and while not being brittle Is firm against pressure. It does not break when hammered, even at the freezing point. Thin plates were sub jected to the action of sea water with good results. As the result of twenty-qine years of experiments at Itothamsted, England, it is f.bown that in the winter months more than half of the amount of rain tha. falls penetrates into the soil, and becomes available for the supply of springs, while in the summer only one quarter of the rainfall is absorbed by the soil. The maximum quantity of water in the soil is at a depth of about forty inches. At a recent meeting of af boricultur ists in France, the question was de bated whether spiders should be suf fered to spin their webs on fruit walls. The general opinion seemed to be that the webs were more useful than objec tionable. It was remarked that they prevent the Incursions of earwigs and similar insects, and also Interfere with the operations of noxious flies whose larvae ravage leaves and fruits. A remarkable effect of the great hur ricane of 18D8 in the West India Isl ands was the complete disappearance from the island of St. Vincent of a spe cies of humming bird, which, previous to the storm, had been one of the com monest and tamest birds that inhabited the island. Other species of humming birds, of a larger size, survived the teaipest, and are yet to be seen in St. Vincent, but the little bronze-green birds with erected crests, which for merly attracted much admiration, are all gone. L. M. Loomis, the Californian ornith ologist, who has been studying the question of bird migration on the Pa cific coast, concludes that those which he has observed shape their course by landmarks, and possess no mysterious superhuman faculty for determining direction, such as some persons have imagined that birds are endowed with. When a fog prevails the birds are be wildered and lose their way. In brief, Mr. Loomis thinks that bird migration is a habit evolved by education and in heritance, and owing its origin to the failure of food in winter. No one knows just what happens when one drops a lump of salt or sugar into a bowl of water. We may believe with Prof. Ostwald and his followers, that the molecules of sugar merely glide everywhere between the mole cules of water, without chemical ac tion; or, on the other hand, dismissing this mechanical explanation, we may say with Mendeleef that the process of solution is the most active of chemical phenomena, involving that incessant in terplay of atoms known as dissociation. But these two explanations are mutu ally exclusive, and no one can say posi tively which one. If either one, Is right. GENTLENESS IS NOT A VIRTUE. Some Cases in Which J t Is Sinjcnlarlj Out of Place. A young man at the art school had just finished painstakingly sharpening three or four sticks of charcoal for one of the girl students. "Anything more I can do for you?" he asked Iingeringly. "No, I thank you; it was just splen did of you to do this for me." With a bow and a timid smile of pleasure the young man moved away. "Isn't he a real nice boy?" asked the girl who had been favored of her friend who sat at the next easel. "Xo," was the uncompromising an swer of the next girl, who was older and possessed of more vigorous views. "Why why " "No; he's not a nice boy; he's a real nice girl. He's the most negative speci men of a young man I ever saw. Why, if another fellow stepped purposely on his toes he'd apologize for being In the way." "But he's gentle and of very sweet disposition," argued the first girl. "Granted, but he might be all that and still be a little more of a man. Now, what I like in the way of a man is one who is noble, gentle, chivalrous and generous, but with plenty of firmness, and with strong, well-defined views on every subject. A man should always be at the positive pole; make him nega tive and he isn't a man. Your real nice boy is 'nice' because he's too meek to be anything else. I've been watching liiui for some time, and. do you know, what I've had an aching desire to do?" "No; what?" "I long to go up behind him, hit him a hard slap between the shoulders and urge him to brace up. Of course, it would be rude," finished the older girl with a sigh. "1 have a married friend who has a boy of 10," resumed the older girl, after a pause during which she Industriously filled in several square inches with light and shade. "Her boy was inclined to belong to your 'real nice girl' sort of being. Of course, it followed that oth er youngsters 'picked upon' him a great deal. His mother paid for a-course of instruction in the manly art for him. Then she old him that every time he got into a fight she would give him a quarter." "Horrible!" shivered the other girl. "That would make a regular bully of him, I should think." "It hasn't had that effect. He isn't of the bullying kind. He's muscular now, though his build Is so slight that one would not suspect him of strength. He's gaining in firmness and quickness of decision, and his mother tells me that her conscience doesn't trouble her a bit. One of the greatest parental crimes, she thinks, is to turn a girl-boy out Into the world. He's only Imposed upon now by boys who don't know him and they never try It a second time. I'm . in love with that mother, and her son, whom I used to secretly detest, now challenges my admiration." "I I don't know," said the younger girl dubiously. It is a doubtful matter, to be sure. But there is no doubt that most women like a man or a boy who can fight on occasion. Boston Tran. script. CRUEL RAILWAYS IN RUSSIA. They Kill Ten Times More People than 'i hose of" Any Other Country. It appears from railway statistics, recently given to the public in Russia, that the Russian railways kill ten times more persons each year than do those of any other country. By similar statistics printed some years back the United States led the other countries in this respect, but since 1893 Russia has had the bad pre-eminence of leading the world as respects the numbers kill ed yearly in proportion to the numbers carried on its railways. Out of 500,000, 000 pasengers on the American rail ways the fatalities are 6,800, including employes; while out of 52,000,000 pas sengers on the Russian railways the fa talities are 0,107. Including the Siberian railway Russia's mileage is about 25, 000 miles, while that of the United States is about 180,000 miles. The United States commercial agent In Vladivostock reports to the State De partment that experiments have been made on the St. Petersburg and War saw road with an Invention designed to give warning and lessen the deadly effects of railroad collisions. Two wrecking railroads were provided; on the first the sleepers were displaced, on the second the rails were displaced. In both cases the stoppage was immedi ate by the aid of this device, without outside help and without injury to the moving trains. The essential feature of the invention is an iron tube, of usual construction, connected with the general system of brakes and placed in front of the wheels. At the least ir regularity in the movement of the train the tube, in consequence of certain cuts made on it at intervals, breaks, and thus produces the immediate stoppage of the train, locomotive as well. Posted. She had met her city cousin at the train, and as they rode down Grand River avenue on the street car she took a prideful pleasure in pointing out the objects and buildings of interest. He evidenced the proper appreciation, making highly complimentary remarks and no belittling comparisons with in stitutions in his own city. Passing the corner of Grand River avenue and Uass street, where the new G. A. R. struc ture is approaching lines of architec tural beauty, she rapturously ex claimed: "Now that will be one of our grand est buildings. Don't you think It will be a beauty?" "What building Is it?" he inquired. "That," she said, with becoming pride, "is the Gar building." "The what?" "Why, the Gar building, and it will be Just too beautiful for " "What is it a hotel?" "No-o-o, not a hotel; It's just a pri vate residence. Mr. Gar, who is im mensely rich, Is going to live there, I believe." A faint suspicion of a smile hovered about the mouth of the city cousin as he glanced sideways at his intelligent guide. Detroit Free Press. Indiana Care It the Name. M. Perrault gives an ingenious ex planation of the origin of the word "Canada." Giovanni Gaboto, who is also known as Cabot, landed In that country in 1497, being the first Euro pean to arrive there. After him came some Spanish ves sels, and in 1506 Denys, a Frenchman, and Verrazzani, a Venetian, took pos session of the country In the name of France. At that time, says M. Per rault, the French often heard the na tives use the Spanish words "Aca nada," which signify, "nothing here." The natives had picked up these words from the Spaniards who had searched for gold and silver, and who, because they had found nothing, had speedily departed. The French came to the conclusion that the words so often used by the natives were the original name of the country. Another explanation is that Canada means a village or a town. Revue Scientifique. Ungallant. There is a suggestion of ungallantry In the latest telephonic invention adopted in Paris. Hitherto, in the French capital, as elsewhere, the cen tral exchange Tias been managed or, as French telephone users alleged, mis managedby women. But when busy men have called up other firms and of fices they have often been delayed by the conversational tendencies of the young ladies at the exchange. It Is decidedly maddening to have an im portant telephonic interview punc tuated with "He's awfully handsctne!" or, "I'm going to wear my pink blouse," and they have determined to put a stop to it in France by supersed ing the telephone exchange girls by an automatic apparatus. Heating in I riiRuay. Few houses in Uruguay are provided with stoves for heating purposes. No chimneys or fireplaces are provided, as a rule, one house recently built at a cost of $14,000 having for its only chimney a stovepipe from the kitchen. Horses Exported. In the nine months ended March 1, 1900, 39,625 horses were exported from the United States, at an average price of $120. When a woman says, In excuse for her flowerless garden, that she doesn't "understand" the care of flowers, It means that she doesn't want the work. When a man needs a tooth pulled, how numerous dental signs anil "A Manifest Destiny," by Julia Ma fcruder, will appeal especially to girls of about 16, as the heroine, Bettlna Mowbray, Is of the old-fashioned type. "The Seekers," by Stanley Waterloo, points out the "recrudescence of super stition in the United States," as exem plified In faith cures and similar fads. "Old Madame, and Other Tragedies," by Harriet Prescott Spofford, Is a col lection of five stories, all intensifying human agony and replete with dra matic effects. Within the last year, three of J. M. Barrie's books, "The Little Minister," "A Window in Thrums," and "Mar jaret Ogilvy" have been translated and published in Germany. Alan McAnlay, a Scottish writer com paratively unknown In this country, has written a romance of Edinburgh and Scotch rural life, called "The Rhymer," having Robert Burns for the central figure. James A. Wickersham, a professor of modern languages, who lives in Terre Haute, Ind., has published "Enoch Willoughby; A Novel of the Middle West," dealing with characters of generation ago. One million, six hundred and ten thousand copies of the novels of Linn Boyd Porter "Albert Ross" have al ready been 'sold. He Is at work on his twenty-third, the title of which will be "A Sugar rrincess." "Geber: A Tale of the Reign of Harun al Uaschid," by Mrs. Kate A. Benton, is said to be a remarkable book the author's first prose work. It is pronounced worthy to be a companion volume to "The Arabian Nights." A historical romance, by Mary E. Wilkins, called "The Heart's High way," has its scene laid in Virginia, in the seventeenth century, though the writer keeps to the realistic style so well known in her New England sto ries. A favorite subject of Kipling's was the possibilities of what might happen to a man in a London fog. The idea also struck Robert Barr forcibly, and when I was lunching with him one day he got so carried away by it as to plan a story in which a highly respectable man who hated another highly respect able man was to walk up behind No. I in the fog and percolate him with a bowie knlte. Then the ghost of the murdered man was to dog the other in the fog and make him 'unkind to his ielf.' 1 don't know whether the story was ever written. Barr probably for Cot all about it LAW AS INTERPRETED. Publication of charges against a can didate for Judge is held, in State vs. Hoskins (Iowa), 47 L. It. A. 223, not to be privileged when they are published jutside of the judicial district for which the judge is to be elected.

It. A. 273, where the stat utes clearly contemplate such liens shall be created only by the erection of some building. Authority to set apart a portion of a public highway for a bicycle path is held, in State vs. Bradford (Minn.), 47 L. it. A. 144, to be granted by implica tion when a statute makes it unlawful to drive animals on such bicycle path, but it is held that this act must be re stricted to bicycle paths which are public, and that it would be invalid as to those constructed on private grounds for private use. Judgment against a solvent garnishee which the plaintiff fails to collect, with out any excuse, is held, in Bowen vs. Port Huron E. and T. Co. (Iowa), 47 L. It.

With this case there is a note collating the other authorities on the effect of a Judgment against a gar nishee to merge or satisfy the liability of the principal debtor. Ejection of a trespasser from the footboard of a locomotive, though his presence there does not interfere with the manipulation of the machinery by the engineer, whose position is inside the cab, Is held, In Galveston H. & S. A. R. Co. vs. Zantzinger (Texas), 47 L. E. A. 282, to be within the authority of the engineer, when he has possession and control of the engine, so that the railroad company Is liable for the wrongful exercise of his authority. A provision of an insurance policy to the effect that none of its terms can be modified, nor any forfeiture under it waived, save by agreement in writing signed by the president or secretary, is held, In Cole vs. Union Central Life In surance Company (Wash.), 47 L. R. A. 201, to be inoperative on a person who made a contract for insurance with the general agent and manager of a for eign company and who did not assent or have any knowledge of such a pro vision or any information that it would be contained in the policy to be issued. Fall and Explicit Directions. Two bicyclists passing through a small town on the Long Island shore decided to take the train from there, home. Being unfamiliar with the place they stopped to inquire of a colored woman the way to the railway station. "We are strangers," they said; "would you kindly direct us to the station?" "Certainly, suh," she replied; "Keei a goin' right on till yo' comes to de cor ner wha de ole postoffice used ter be, den tu'n to yo' lef an' you'll go right to de station." As they rode off she beamed with pride, they with amusement; and al though they found the station they have yet to discover the "corner wha de ole postoffice used ter be." New York Bun.

The kinds of hunger are described, we are told, by Ors. Mathien and Beau chant, and have been named "painful hunger" and "agonizing hunger." The need of taking fooc" zen rally produces secretion of the gastrii juice, and with some persons the ex cess of acid in this fluid causes pain, which may be allayed by taking an alkali to neutralize it. The variety of hunger referred to above as "agonizing hunger" is characterized by painful anxiety of mind. Those who suffer from it fear that some terrible accident is about to happen to them; they break out into presperation, tremble, and sometimes lose their reason. If food is taken, all these symptoms disappear. Hours SCHOOL. Menlo Park.
