Hon. David Meekiscn is well known not only in his own state, but through out America. He was elected to the Fifty-nth congress by a very large ma jority, and is the acknowledged leadtr of his party in his feet ion of the elate. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising states man. Catarrh with its insidious ap proach and tenacious grasp, was his only nnconquered foe. For 30 years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue. He writes: "1 have used several bottles ot Pe runa and I feel greatly benefitted thereby from my catarrh of the head.

BE RUBBED OUT But a good liniment or plaster will often give temporary relief because it produces counter irritation or reduces the inflammation and sore ness. But no sort of external treatment can have any effect whatever upon the disease itself, for Rheumatism la not a skin c?se?ase?,but is due to an over apid condition of the blood, and tie deposit of irritating matter or Uric Acid salts or sediment in the muscles and joints, and no amount of rubbing or blistering can dislodge these gritty particles or change the acid blood. Rheumatism often becomes chronic, andthe mus cles and joints permanently stiff and useless and the nervous systenfalmost wrecked, because so much time is lost In trying to cure a blood disease with outside applications or doctoring the skin. . . . Louisville, Ky., march 87, 'OSS. Gentlemen: I am glad to say that S. S. S. has cured me of Rheumatism. About two years ag-o I suffered from OBheumatism in my knees and feet, my ankles swelling so that I oould not put on my shoes. This continued for several months, during which time X was applying liniments and going by my physician's directions, but derived no benefit. I was told of S. S. 8. and tried it.

FROST DISTURBS RAILROADS. Un Nearly All Russian Lines It Is an Element of Expense. In a recent Issue of the "Oregon fur die Fortschrltte des Elsenbahnwesena" L. von Lubimoff. chief engineer of the Trans-Siberian Railway, describes an Interesting phenomenon of frost actlou which has been observed on the line of that railway In Siberia. This phenom enon, the distortion of wooden trestle bridges by the action of frost Is close ly connected with the extensive frost disturbances of the roadbed In general which are encountered in both Euro pean and Asiatic Itussla; but while the latter effect has been known for some time, the action on bridge structures has been noted and studied only during the last few years, says the Engineer ing News. The disturbance of the roadbed by frost Is a very serious matter, states Mr. von Lubimoff; on 05 per cent of all Russian railway lines it constitutes one of the most Important problems of maintenance of way. The disturbance occurs mainly In low-lying, wet ground; the soli In such places is gener ally found to be clay overlying or with Intervening layers of water-bearing sand or gravel. The action In prolong ed cold weather seems to be about as follows: The earth gradually freezes downward, and as the molster stratas are reached the contained water cauues them to freeze In thin sheets or lami nations. As the frozen layer Increases In thickness It tends to separate from the strata below and to form bumps or hillocks. . A succeeding rise of tem perature produces an open and porous structure In the frozen layer, and any water entering from either above or below fills the Interstices. When the temperature again falls this water freezes and by its expansion further raises the swelling. In time this process produces notice able roughness of the roadbed, which may be so extensive as to make traffic at any considerable speed positively dangerous. Mere resurfacing Is only a temporary expedient The only effec tive means to deal with portions of the railway line that are thus affected has been found to be (1) to drain the sur rounding soil thoroughly by deep drain age ditches, so that the ground water level in the neighborhood of the road bed is lowered well below any possl blllty of frost extending down to it, or (2) to increase the depth of filling suffi ciently to protect the natural ground below It from the action of frost. The filling must be of open texture and well drained, so that it will not Itself give trouble In the same way. Both moth ods of protection are, where possible. used simultaneously. The distortion of bridges Is a more difficult matter to cope with, though, of course, the aggregate of damage and Interference with traffic Is very much less. It may be stated that the plies are In each case driven well down into the subsoil below frost level, but the rising of the surface layers, as explain ed above, lifts the plies up with It by friction.

Chicago Itecord-IIcrald. CARE FOR YOUR RUGS. Many of Them Are Spoiled by Pre detent Beatings. The manager of a Chicago carpet de partment whose knowledge brings bliu an annual lucome of $10,000, advised I the following treatment for valuable rugs: Iay them wrong side up on the grass, beat with a furniture beater, re verse, and sweep carefully, a soft brush being tho preference, or a good carpet sweeper. A little airing outside of the turn's rays Is good occasionally, when they may be carried In the house. The average American housewife wears out her rugs by continually sweeping and beating. The plan of putting them upon a line every two or three weeks, or even once a month, and there hav ing them whipped, U not to be com mended If the ruga are of any value. When a rug Is to be thoroughly cleau- etlf It should be sent where the work Is properly done or else washed at homo, A machine la now in use which loosens the dust and removes It by means of a strong current of air. This Is effective and not bard ou the rug. When the surface becomes soiled it can be washed with no fear of Injuring tho colors, since the majority of oriental rugs are washed repeatedly btf.u-o reaching this country and the dye ' used are thereby mellowed and enrich-; ed. The best method of washing a large rug is to strotch and tack It upon a clean floor, then scour It well with soap and suds. After the scouring It must be thoroughly rinsed, to remove all trace of the animal matter In the soap, after which It should not be re moved until It Is perfectly dried. Then j it will not shrink and will He perfect ly flat upon the floor. A small rug may be tacked upon the side of the house or oarn, sconrea as ir on a noor nnu then rinsed with the hose. Good Housekeeping. Chicago a Great Inland Port. That Chicago Is a great shipping cen ter almost everyone knows. But thai It now ranks fourth among the ports of the world Is not so well known. The latest figures relating to the matter of shipping are: - Ixmdon, 16.520.fi05 tons; New York, 16,445,320; Hamburg. 14.108,817; Chi cago, 14,1S.100; Antwerp, 13,B:a,472; Liverpool, 11,818,000, and Marsollles, 0,629,114. Chicago leads all United States ports except New York In tonnage, and the constant extension of lake traflic has added not only to the commerce of Chi cago, but likewise very largely to the commerce of Cleveland, now a very im portant port of entry; Detroit Buffalo, Milwaukee, Duluth and Toledo. The chief artlclwi of commerce on the lakes are wheat, flour, coal. Iron and lumber. Lion a Fly Catcher. The keeper of the carnivore house at the Philadelphia zoo led the group of visitors to the outdoor quarters of the lions. "Look at that fellow over there," he said. "It's Interesting to watch him catching flies." The Hon lay beside a little puddle that the rain of the night before had made. He dipped his paw into the sticky mud and then extended the member and lay very quiet The paw served as a fly trap. Files lighted on It and stuck fast; buzz all they would they could not get away. And the Hon, says the Philadelphia Record, after a dozen or two were collected, calmly crushed them and prepared his paw again. "He does that every day," the keeper said. "Love My Dog. An amusing story comes from Paris of the device adopted by a prominent clubman of wealth and position to form the acquaintance of a lady well known for her beauty in social and theatrical circles, says the London Globe. The lady was lunching In a fashionable res taurant in the Bols de Boulogne, ac companied by her equally well-known poodle. The dog was running about from table to table, picking up pieces and collecting morsels from other diners, and presently, when It returned to its mistress, she was astonished to see written on Its back in red chalk: "Tell your mistress that she Is simply adorable, and I love her exceedingly." The gentleman signed his name. After this a formal Introduction was no longer necessary. The Milkman's Explanation.
