" Hon Da\fidi.Meekison is well known. not, only in his own State but throughout America. - He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor of the town in which he lives. during which time he became widely known a4s the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very-large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of fhe State. : Only one flatwvrmarred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman. Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacions grasp, was hisonly unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna came tothe rescue, and he dictated the followsing letter'to Dr. Hartman as the result: “I 1 have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if I use it a short time longer 1 will be fully able to eradicate the disease of 5 _thirty years’ standing.’'—David Meekison, ex-Member of Congress. ivvv\MWV\N R AR iANAR AL AR

THE season of catching cold is upon 4 us. The cough and the sneeze and nasal twang are to be heard on every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is a cold. : This is' the way the chronic catarrh generally begins A personcatchescold, which hangs on longer than usual. The cold generally starts in the head and throat. Thenfollowssensitivenessofthe air passages which incline one to-catch cold very easily. At last the personhas a cold all the while seemingly, more or le_s‘ggdisch arge from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent clearing of the throat, nosirils stopped up, full feeling in the head and sore, inflamed throat. The best time to treat catarrh is at theivery beginning: A bottleof Peruna properly used never fails to cure a common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh, - While many people have been cured of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Peruna, yet,as arule, when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one bottle is necessary to complete a cure, Peruna has cured cases innumerable of catarrh of twenty yvears’standing. It is the best, if -not the only internal remedy for chronic catarrh in éxistence. - - : Butprevention is far better than curd. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the' slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus prevent what is almost certain 'to -.end in chrohie catarrh.

The brace pole should be off the ground a few inches at the second post that it may tot rot off and weaken the fence. With an iron rod twist the brace wires together above and below the brace. Should the fence be 40 rods or more long put braces in the middle of fence like Fig. 2. To unwind the spool of barbed wire or roll of woven wire take an iron shaft —an old buggy axle will do—and run it through the spool and let axle rest on wagon bed just in front of the hind standards of wagon.’. Run a small wire around each standard and the buggy axle and that will keep spool of wire from bouncing about too much. Take the end gate out of wagon'and run out a little of the wire (wire should be placed on axle so that it wijll unwind from under side) and fasten securely to one of your end posts.

; New Potato Bug Destroyer. " If the inventors keep on ti{rning out machinery to do the farmer’'s work for, him the problem of hired help will be solved for the large farmer at least, as he can afford to buy the machinery and pay the good wages necessary to command the men to run it. The latest idea is the machine for destroying potato bugs in a wholesale way, going over acres of ground .in a day and adapted for use. on single or double rows of plants. It also embodies features of adjusiment which accommodate it to variations in height of the plants by simply gripping levers pivot-. ed beneath the handles by which the machine is guided. The movment of these levers raises or lowers the blade supporters, and as the blades rotate rapidly they strike the K plants - and knock the bugs into, the troughs on either side of the machine.—Milwaukee.Sentinel. - : Money in Horse Breeding. Horse breeding, when judiciously carcried on, has always been and is likely to be a reasonably profitable business for the American farmer. The great danger in the business is that at the present time, owing to the fact that horses are scarce, the horse of no particular breed-or class is commanding a fair price, and many farmers are led to regard a horse of this kind asa profitable animal to produce. Such horses should not be bred, because, even-when the greatest care and precaution possible are taken in breeding for definite types, there will always be a large number of the so-called 'misfits, which are the first class of horses to be affected by overproduction or any other thing that is likely to cause a depression in the market.—Rural World. A Condiment for Swine. -~/ Theodore Louis, of ‘Wisconsin, recommends the following for swine confined and heavily fed: ‘Take six bushels of corn-cob charcoal, or three bushels of common charcoal, eight pounds of salt, two quarts of air-slaked lime, one bushel of wood ashes; break the charcoal well down with shovel or other implement, and thoroughly mix. Then take one and a quarter pounds of copperas and dissolve in hot water, and with an ordinary watering pot sprinkle over the whole mass, and then again mix thoroughly. Put this mixture into the selffeeding boxes, and place where hogs of all ages can eat of their contents af pleasure.” : : =

WHERE TO STORE HONEY. The Ideal Place Is One Where It Is . Dry All the Time and Where It Never Freezes. ; There seems to be a good deal of misinformation regarding the proper place to keep honey after it has been taken from the hives. Bee-keepers generally know how._to preserve it in order to maintain its fine quality, but a great many people vho buy it for home use, and even grocerymen who handle it in considerable quantities, fail to keenr it at its best. Some people think because a cellar is recommended for wintering bees it must be an ideal place to keep honey. I have found others, supposing a cool place to be "desirable, keeping it in an icebox, says a writer in Nortawestern Agriculturist. Neither of these is suitable, unless one has a furnace in the cellar and therefore it is both wirm and dry; an ice-box, never. : Honey absorbs moisture, and if kept long in a cool, damp place it will become thin and watery and lose its original flavor. It may not spoil it to freeze if the air surrounding is perfectly dry, but damp cold is injurious. If the honey gathers <dampness ' and then freezes, the combs will crack and the honey run down the outside, and it never looks or tastes quite so nice as it did before. g . An ideal place to keep hofey is where it is dry all the time and never freezes. The Kkitchen, a warm room over the kitchen, or the attic is the best place I know of without preparing a specia: place warmed artificially. Perhaps it is not necessary to hint that mice must be excluded. Extracted honey, too, needs to be kept in a warm, dry place, unless ‘it is in sealed cans completely excluding the air. One reason why more honey is not used is because so few persons know how to keep it in all its original excellence. . -

FACTORY RUN BY WIND. - Air Motors Supply Power to Tweo Plants in Germany for Generating : Electricity for Lighting. . o * For more than two years two small factories, one, near Leipsic, the other near Hamburg, have been driven sueccessfully by windmills, which are also used as a means of generating elec-['tricit-y' for lighting purposes, says the Elektrotechnischer Anzeiger. . ‘The windmills have a diameter of about 15 feet and are mounted on the roof of the works. - 4 To ‘insure reliability, the wind wheel itself has no moving parts, the speed regulation being obtained by turning the windmill so as to vary the angle under which the wind impinges upon the sails, which are built of steel sheets. This is performed by a small auxiliary wind motor, and is said to be done so quickly -and accurately that the voltage of the dynamo remains practically constant throughout the range of ordinary wind pressures. . An automatic switch cuts out the battery connected in parallel with the dynamo.as soon as the wind falls below a certain point. o |

Lobb, a jeweler, of Fond du Lac, for several months has been dieting himself on an original plan. His daily ration is one gallon of milk, and as mueh raw oats or corn as he seems to need. In order to aid digestion, he puts the corn or oats through a coffee grinder, and - sometimes he steeps the ration in water. He drinks all the water he wants, and eats but two meals per day. It was for the benefit of his heart that Mr. Lobb began this strange diet. Stomach trouble, from which he used to suffer, has disappeared, and he has gained over 30 pounds in weight. Mrs. Lobbi has taken her husband’s bill-of-fare, and has been benefited greatly, too. : The man who thinks every other man is a liar is most generally a liar himself.

The American Woman By WILLIAM VON POLENZ, Distinguished German Novelist.

ORE than anything else the women make it evident that a new .race is f_ormi‘ng it the United States, different from all the peoples of the globe. Nobody will ever mistake an American woman for an English woman or a French woman or a German woman. She has developed decidedly typical traits in her outward appearance, in her walk, her :carriagc. her speech, her toilet. To-day no other woman on earth understands how to dress herself so becomingly. Sport, scrupulous cleanliness, and exercise in the.open air have strengthened heér

- ‘body. All triumphant qualities of the sex are strongly developed in her. But, on the other hand, the unrest of life, the exertions of society or of study have left traces of.ner\'iosity and even of ennui on her features. : ' ‘ ~ Femininity in its manifold versatility brings color and diversity into the monotony of American society life. The men, in the swallow-tails, whose lusterless black is never relieved by a uniform or some mark of rank, display their prosaic business character but too plainly. The normal American is a business man; he even treats politics from a business standpoint. Science is of interest to him only if someé. practical results may be achieved by its help. He is inclined to mistake his newspaper for literature. He cultivates art chiefly as a collector. All the finer shades are missing in the male world. -American men are often excellent company: but, in the long run, they produce the' sanie impression as the American newspaper. If you have rcad about a hundred of them you will find out that they all tell the same thing. S Here is the great future mis;ion of the American woman: She must not stop at merely endowing herself and developiug her own takents; she must also help to refine the man, she must lead him to the treasures of culture in science and art, ‘which in their highest sense, have is vet not been unlocke}‘d for this nation. She must drag him ‘out of his one-sided-ness and teach him how to live a life full of value. S |

i- THE MIKADJ’S ARMY. . ! Its Inside Organization Is a Matter ‘ ~ of Conjectare Only to Other 1 : " Nations. . Outside of Japan little is known of the training of her military men. ‘There -is a vague impression that the Japanese army is much up to date; ‘but of its inside organization, or of just how the Japanese “Tommy Atkins” is manufactured, very little is iykno“"n, says Alfred Stead, the English ~Journalist. - : 3 * Many picture Japan ags a ~peaceful ‘nation, fond of flowers, of graceful ' manners, and much given to esthetics. On the contrary, the Japanese have always been, from the earliest gtimes, a warlike race. To this day numbers' of the Japanese people carry 'a short sword continually. Thus is the ~old spirit of the warrior still smoldering under new conditions. While in Japan;l had many conversations with Marquis Yamagata, one of Japan'’s most powerful ministers, who has on several occasions ‘been prime minister, concerning Japan’s \miljtary organization. The informa‘tion here outlined may, therefore, be taken as more or less authoritative. ~ Japan’s present army system grew out of the feudal system which existed in Japan up to the year 1872. Before that time fighting men were employed by the great families. After the restoration of the present emperor to power these armed men still remained, though divided up into various clans. When the feadal system 'was abolished there were 2,000,000 of i these fighting men;’ out of which num.ber only about 200,000 were employed on the establishment in Japan of a .conscription system. ‘This naturally led to discontent, and in 1877 the fighting men rebelled against the ‘“‘citizen army.” The latter won, owing to superior organization and discipline, and it is out of this conscripted class that the present army ,'kof Japan is coun- | structed. ; SCIENTIFIC DIVINATION. ’Keon-Eyed G'eologht' Locates Conl 1 Bed by l{nO\vledge of Sur- : }-\ face Conditions,

By means of such amapand the accorﬁpanying structure-sections the deeper copper mines of the Lake Superior region were located far out beyond any known .outcrops of the cop-per-bearing ledge. and in perféct confidence the mining companies spent in some instances $lOO,OOO and even $200.000 in sinking big working shafts to the ore. So regular is the dip of these particular beds thatﬂ?/&%‘zineers’ estimates have time axfd again been found correct within a very few feet. In the South African gold field the mines known collectively as “‘the deeps,’” which will be yielding gold years after those located on outcrgps have been abandoned, were in thé same way located by means of geological maps. Some years® ago, writés' H. Foster Bain, i Booklovers Magazine. when the Northern Pacific railyay was selecting coal lands in the densely forested regions of Washington, the geologist’ in charge, having measured and calculated the dip, said: “Jim, take your drill crew over to section 13 and see if you don't find coal about the middle of the section.” Jim, who knew the geologist had newer visited ‘section 13, went off on what he considered a wild-, goose chase. When he arrived on the | grolind the deep cover of undergrowth and soil, effectually precluding any ex- 1 amination of the rocks, increased h!s‘ disgust. He set to work, however, and in a short time the drill went into a good bed of coal, hundreds of tons of which have sinee been used to haul trains across the mountains.

BUILDING SKY-SCRAPERS. Erection of the Tremendously Tall Buildings in the Larger ) o Cities. i Sky-scrapers are the product of a new era in architecture. They have all been constructed during the past 15 years, and mostly during the past ten years, states Woman's Home Companion. To the inexperienced eyes these new buildings look like the older ones, and’ even men familiar-with their ‘construction cannot always distinguish between them when they are only eight or nine stories high. It is not primarily in appearance then, that they differ, and this is true in spite of the fact that bigriess is the most noticeable characteristic of the modern building. Dwelling bouses, farm barns and small buildings generally, are built with timber frames, and the strength of such buildings depends chiefly upon the character of the frame. Other and more important bnildings are built with masonry walls, and the sta‘bility of such buildings depends upon the good charac}er of the walls. The former-arrangement is called “frame construction,” while the latter is ordinarily called *‘masonry construetion.” It would be less confusing, however, to call the latter “massive construction.” In one class the inherent strength is in the frame, in the cthier class it is in the solid wall. s The two ideas are fundamentally different. If the distinction is well understood; the way in which the modern “sky-scraper” is built will be better appreciated. It looks as though it were of masonry .construction, but it is actually ‘Efframe building. Steel is used in place of wood in the construction of the frame, and brick, stone and fhortar take the place of clapboards. In massive construction the walls carry,the floors and roof, and make the building strong in every way, but in the steel-frame building the walls do not do this; indeed, they cdo not carry their own weight except for the height of one story. In a typieal building the wall is supported on the steel -frame at every floor. In appearance it seems to be continuous. like other walls, but really it is nearly. if not quite, cut in two horizontally at the height of every floor. This is a feature of the construction which always seems strange to people who are not familiar with it. When the first buildings of this type were erected in Chicago. throngs of .spectators continually ‘' watched the progress. of the work. and no feature of it interested them more than the constructicn of the masonry walls, started on .one of the npper floors, as is often done, apparently in midair. s PAPER CAR WHEELS.

Material Used in Their Manufactore < . and How It Is Put Together, "Just what a paper car whee) is and how it is made is thus explained. editorially in Railway and Locomotive Engineering: ° “The material of the paper wheel is a calendared rye-straw board or fhick paper made especially for .the purpose at the company’s paper mills. This'is sent to the works in various sizes suitable for the dimensions of the-wheel center to be made. The first operation is for two men standing beside a pile of the beoards to brush over each sheet a coating of flour paste, until a dozen are pasted into a layer. A third man transfers this layer to a hydraulic press, where a pressure of 500 tons or more is applied. After solidifying under this pressure for two hours, the 12-sheet layers are kept in a drying room heated to a temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Several of these layers are in turn pasted together, dressed, and given another drying. This is kept up until a circular block is formed containing from 120 to 160 sheets, varying from 4% to 5% inches in thickness, and as compact as seasoned hickory. - ‘““The blocks are then turned in a lathe slightly larger than the tire, and the hole is bored for the cast iron center. In turning the paper blocks make a shaving that resembjes strips of leather. The center and the tire are forced on under a powerful hydraulic press. i “The average life of the tire of a paper wheel is about 300,000 miles.. That represents about 1%-inch wear. The centers do not seem to be affected by service, and they are always good for renewal of tires unless- some accident happens to them.” f A Mlqanprehenllo#. : !

I suffered misery for several years, being troubled with menorrhagia. -My back ached, I had bearing-down pains and frequent headaches. 'l' would often wake from restful sleep, and in such pain that I suffered for hours before I could go to sleep again. I dreaded the long nights as much as the weary days. I consulted two difterent physicians, hoping to get relief .but finding that their medicine did not se.m to curs me. I tried .your Vegetable Compound on the recommendation of a friend from the Ea.t who was visiting me. “lam glad that 1 followed her advice, for every ache and pain is gone, - and not only this, but my general’ health is much improved. 1 have a fine appetite and have gained in flesh.
