THE PIANO DETECTIVE.

"Werk that Keeps a Sleuth Busy Mot of the Time. 'Did jou ever hear of a piano detective?" The city hall detective scratched hia head reflectively and then was compelled to admit that he had never heard of such an individual. "Well, there are a dozen or more of them in Philadelphia, and they make good money, too. "Their work is simple. You see, a great many piano firms sell instruments on the installment plan. That is. the purchaser pays say $50 down on a $500 or $600 instrument and agrees to make good the remainder at so much a month. By far the greater number of sueh purchasers are as honest as the day is long, but once in a while a man comes along whose little scheme is to move out the piano a day or two after it is delivered and sell it for a couple of hundred. "It is the business of tho piano detective to circumvent this sort of thing. As a rule, some suspicious movement on the part of the would-be defrauder of the piano dealer causes him to be placed under suspicion. The dealer can't step in and take his instrument away under the contract, and the only thing he can do is to watch it. Here is where the piano detective comes in. He hovers around the house in which the suspected purchaser lives, night and day, watching any attempt to make way with the piano. Usually three or four weeks are long enough to settle the question one way or another. If the piano buyer is crooked he is practically certain to make some sort of a move before the expiration of that time. If he doesn't it is pretty safe presumption that the suspicion is gseundless and the piano detective is called off by his employer, with no one but himself and two or three others the wiser. But the precaution is a necessary one." Cincinnati Enquirer.

Passing; of the Hone. So soon as nature sees an improvement there is a change. The candle gave way to electricity and the horse to the automobile. The fact that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been sold for over half a century, proves its value. There is nothing to equal it for stomach or liver trouble. Telephone Superseding Telegraph. The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad is equipping its system with a telephone service, by which it will be possible to do away with the" telegraph service, if necessary. Officials of the road say that the service is intended only as an auxiliary sys tern to the telegraph. It is claimed that vhe new method will effect a saving of 40 per cent.

A MAGNIFICENT WOMAN

Holds Up Peruna as the Ideal Remedy for Female Catarrh.

MRS. CLARA MAKEMER. Mrs. Clara Makemer, housekeeper for the Florence Crittenden Anchorage Mission of Chicago, writes the following letter from 302 Chestnut street, Chicago: "Peruna is the best tonic I have ever known for general debility, a sure cure for liver complaint, and a never failing adjuster in cases of dyspepsia. "I have used it in cases of female irregularities and weak nerves common to the sex, and have found it most satisfactory." From early girlhood to the end of the child-bearing period few women are entirely free from some degree of catarrh of the pelvic organs. With Peruna the thousand and one ailments dependent upon catarrh of the pelvic organs can be wholly averted. "Health and Beauty" sent free to women only, by The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio.

The microbes that cause chills and fever and malaria enter the system through mucous membranes made porous by catarrh. Pe-ru-na heals the mucous membranes and prevents the entrance of malarial germs, thus preventing and curing these affections.

Defective Hearing on Railroads. Attention is called in medical journals to the desirability of testing railway employes for defective hearing as well as for color-blindness. A recent examination in Europe developed the fact that out of eighty-two firemen and engine-drivers only three possessed perfectly normal hearing. It is suggested that there should be a standard of hearing power for the examination of employes who have to depend upon sound signals, - v

QUALITY AND NEWS.

FAME AND EXCELLENCE ARE DETERMINING FACTORS IN SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT.

One of the Important Function!! of High Class Newspapers.

In presenting interesting phases of scientific and economic problems, high-class newspapers frequently give information of as great value in their advertising columns as in those devoted to the publication of the principal events of the day; and when the fame of a product is. extended beyond its natural limits into foreign lands, and a large demand created throughout Great Britain and her colonies and the principal seaports and cities of Europe, Asia and Africa, it becomes a pleasant duty to note the fact and to tell of the points of excellence on which so great a success is based. We refer to the now world-famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, the product of the California Fig Syrup Company. The merits of this well-known excellent laxative were first made known to the world through the medical journals and newspapers of the United States; andis one of the distinct achievements of the press. It is now well known that Syrup of Figs is an ethical proprietary remedy, approved by the most eminent physicians everywhere, because il?is simple and effective, yet pleasant to the taste and acceptable to the system, and not only prompt in its beneficial effects, but also wholly free from any unpleasant after-effects. It is frequently referred to as the remedy of the healthy, because it is used by people who enjoy good health and who live well and feel well and are well informed on all subjects generally, including laxatives. In order to get its beneficial effects, it is necessary to get the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. Real Greatness. An exchange gives this story of a pompous member of Parliament who attended an agricultural show in Dublin. He arrived late, and found himself on the outskirts of a huge crowd. Being anxious to obtain a good view for himself and a lady friend who accompanied him, and presuming that he was well known to the spectators, he tapped a burly coal-porter on the shoulder and peremptorily demanded, "Make way there." "Garn, who are ye pushin'?" was the unexpected response. "Do you know who I am, .sir?" cried the indignant M. P. "I am a representative of the people." "Yah," growled the porter, as he stood unmoved, "but we're the bloomin' people themselves."

She says : I cannot thank you enough for what your medicine has done for me. I can recommend it as one of the best medicines on earth for all women's
