Is Pe-ru-na Useful for Catarrh? Bionlda lht of the ingredients of Persna bo sabziittcd to any medical expert, of whatever school cr nationality, ho would he obliged to admit without reserve that each one o f them was o f undoubted valno in chronic catarrhal diseases, and had stood the test of many years experience in the treatment of snrh diseases, 'hkt, CAH BE KO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHATEVER. Penna is composed of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies fcr catanh. Every ingredient of Pernna has a reputation of its own in the euro of some phase of catarrh. Pcrma brings to the heme the COSTBUTED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS Or HEDICEJE ia the treatmeet cf catarrhal diseases; brings to the homo the scientific sMU and knowledge of the modern pharmacist ; and last but notlcast, "brings to the home the vast and varie i experience of Dr. Hartman, in the use o f catarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases. Tho fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent Hany thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited docton over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catanh. It nay be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. 2-TJT THEY AIL FAILED TO ERDIG AST BELIEF. Dr. Hartman' idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be mado honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that tl& remedy can be supplied directly to the people, and no more bo charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it Ho other household remedy so universally advertised carries upon tho label the principal active constituents, showing that Pcrnna invites the fuU inspection of the critics. GEOEGE WASHINGTON'S EGGS.

Hitherto Unpublished Story, but 'ot of Father of Country. George Washington, a middle-aged man, who talks with a cockney accent, was out In the country visiting friends on Saturday and when he set out for bis home, 144 5th avenue, Brooklyn, late at night, had in his coat pockets several dozen fresh eggs, says the New York Tribune. On the way he visited reveral saloons and when he reached the corner of Manhattan avenue and Calyer street fell and smashed the eggs into a jelly. Several citizens helped h!m to gain his bearings and noticed that what re"sembled blood was running all over his clothes. In his vain attempt to clear the Perspiration from .his face it became smeared. Several men who noticed the stains on Washington's face, thinking the min was a victim a ootrads, called i policeman, whu took Washington to the Greeupoint avenue station house, where a hurry call was sent for an ambulance from the Eastern district hospital. The ambulance in its hurry to reach the station nearly ran into a car. When the doctor reached the scene he immediately called for a basin of warm water and began to wash Washington's face', head and hands to find the wounds. He did this for nearly half an hour without discovering any Injury. Then he put his hands in Washington's pocket. Washington, like his immortal namesake, refused to tell a lie and said that If they had consulted him before he would have told them how it all happened. Ills parting remark to the angry surgeon was, "Well, I thought you young fellows were fly, but we yaps have one on you city chaps now." Talks as He Thinks.

Three conditions nre needed for the production of sweet cream. Cleanliness low temperature and richness In the ream. tW meadows and pastures ns well as tbe growing wheat are often beneüted by rolling well in the spring after the frost Is through the ground. Shelter and comfortable quarters should be provided for ftW-k, if for nothing else than simply a question of economy in the consumption of iood. Lime is a most active agent In rendering the soil mellow and setting the riant food free to bo assimilated by vegetation, while it Is Itself a direct plant food. Aay soil is too valuable to lose by erosion. If tho field be low and level, under drain it rather than cut It up with surface ditches, which lessen the cultivated area and carry away the cream of the soil. Every farm should have Its grove or wood lot. The tlmtrtr alone Is a paying crop, besides the lot may b? utilized for poultry and other small animals while the trees are young and for any animals when the trees are more mature. Far too many men conduct themselves on the "Is It against the law" plan rather than the lar of right. When men ask themselves ls It right?" il.en we will have n-ade i great Improvement. Most men know what is right. ' It is to be hoped that the man who produced selless grapes willtry his Land on producing a watermelon with bandies so plcknlckers can carry them easily.

Sometimes there is a petulancy engendered among children in the home. A good way to cure this Ls to let sorre members get away from home for a eeasoa.

A farnjer who has grown a 403pouad squash Is worth listening to when he tells how he did It, for he eays it Is no trick at all to grow a SfJO-pounder. In explaining how lv? 3oes it, Le says: "For each hill I Intend to p.ant I take two good wheelbarrow loads of hen manure, and mix ivltli four barrows of good soil takea from some other part of the lot. A little later, early In May, I add four barrows of well-rotted manure and inU thoroughly. Then about the 18th of May I make the hills, digging out a space saven feet In diameter and 14 inches deep, filling In with my coniiot mixing, and with it some of the bet ?arth which was thrown out ; and wL finished the hill will be about ten fet in diamett'i" and six inches higher In the cvnter than the surrounding level ; the seed is planted at once. llüis should be attout -0 feet apart; wort the ground well until the plants coutmente to run. When vines are abort three feet long I mulch the ground all over, for -0 feet in diameter around ?ach hill, with horse manure thiee inches deep, and stakt the vines down with sticks to keep the wind from rolling them .about, so that they may rcot at every joint. It Is of great advantage to keep the vine foai fruiting as long as iossiMo. by pruning all fruit bloom oft until about the last week la July; this will give time enough to mature a :00-M.'Und squash by the first of October.

until the last year, its enzootic chJtrao ter, already manifest in some lo?aIitie.j, calls for the active Interest of all lovers of bird life. The experts In the Hureau of Animal Industry have investigated the disease and find it is to le due to a virulent bacillus of 'intestinal origin. Scientifically speaking, it ls a colibacillosis. Post-mortem examination generally reveals conation of the lun?s, yellowing white areas of dead tissues on the liver, and an inflammation of the intestines usually characterized by th formation of very small ulcers. The Intestines are often for their wüole length studded with these ulcere. (Juail di.-ease has' many points of resemblance to the so-called jrrouse disease which so often devastates the moors of England and Scotland. With the history of grouse disease b'ore us there should Ik? an earnest eadeavor to prevent quail disease fron, establishing itself in the United States.' The bureau has Issued Circular No. 109, a preliminary report on the disease. Interested persons should secure copies and assist as far as possible by furnish; ing Information which may lead to 4 better understanding of the cause o' the disease and measures for combating it. IIInK' Appetite. The insatiable appetite of young birds, and, indirectly, the benefits which a community receives from the presence of insect-eating birds, ls admirably brought out In a study made by the students of the University of Indiana, at the biological station at Winona Lake. Itelays of students, according to th Nature Study Review, placed themselves Ir; a position to observe continuously from daylight to dark the movements in the nests of an orchard oriole, a pewee, a phoebe and a wren, all of which belong to the insect-consuming class of birds. , The little wren's nest, in which there were five birds about li days old, was a scene of great activity, and In the nine hours and twenty-six minutes the little bird family was under observation the nestlings were fed 113 times, most of the food being foraged oy the mate bird, but distributed by the mother bird. The food consisted of cutworms, grasshoppers, cabbage worms and sundry smaller Insects which were not Identified. The nest of the phoebe, which contained two young birds 4 days 'old, gave evidence of the first activity at 4:20 a. m., and between that time and 7 p. ni., when It began to rain, the young birds had received 200 installments of dinner. The voracity of the orioles and pewees were equally remarkable. Alfalfa a a Good Feed. In the year 1903 I read a great deal about alfalfa, and so bought 100 pounds o seed and as soon as my oat crop was sown prepared my land for alfalfa. I chose a very rich piece of land which I plowed about eight Inches deep, pulverized it very fine and then sowed the seed broadcast I sowed a n;ue crop Jn connection with the alfr.lfa 23 pounds of alfalfa and ona bushel of oats, covered with a drag. About the first of June I cut and cured and) put In the barn the alfalfa and oats, I fed this to my horses and they did well. Twice after this I cut the ail'alfa and let it lie on the land for mulch. The second year I cut the al falfa three times, making about six tons to the acre In all for the second year. The third year I cut it four tinus, making ten tons to the acre for the season of 1900. My hogs eat tho dry alfalfa with relish, In fact, every animal on the place seems to be crazy to cat alfalfa haj. I feed a few cattle every year and give them shelled com. fzi corn and shock corn with all the alfalfa hay they wlil eat . They have a good barn to stay In nights and stormy weather, and I never 'In all my feeding saw cattle gain in three n-onths at these did from the time I put them In the feed yard until they were shipped to market. I think alfalfa is one of the most paying crops a f irmer can raise, and I have been so well -pleased with my experience that I f.ni mulching the alfalfa with manure and think it will help it to winter. I think there Is danger of freezing, although the land fnys to the south and is well drained G. E. Calkins, Ottawa, III. Foreftt Planting In braaka. A study was made by the United States Department of Agriculture of the forest plantations in Eastern Nebraska to ascertain the species of tree best suited for planting throughout the region. The plantations already In existence were studied with reference to their silvlcultural requirements, the amount and value of wood products grown, and the effect of different methods of planting. The planting of forests has decreased In Eastern Nebraska in recent years, and some of the earlier planted forests are le!ng cut off. Tables, are given, showing the height and diameter growth of the principal secies of trees planted in Eastern Nebraska over a period of fifty ysrs, the amount of heart wood in trees of various diameters, and the yield of cotionwood or. bottom land and on upland, osage orange, white willow, silver maple, my elder, Russian mulberry, white ein., Lombardy poplar, black locust and various other species of broad-leaf trees and of pines. The (lata obtained show that hard; catalpa, sage orange, black walnut, cottonwood, white willow, green ash snd honey locust can le grown with profit in Eastern Nebraska. "Hardy ontalpa, osaco orange and green ash should le planted eliieJIy for fence posts, white willow for fuel, black walnut for IuiuIkt and cottonwood for fuel and lumber. All attain their best development in rich, well-drained valleys. Cottonwood. white willow and black walnut are esse :1ally bottom-land trees. Osage orange should Ik planted on upland only in fertile soils in southeastern counties. Tin? range of hardy catalpa in upland p'antlng Is considerably wider, but It m;'.- have good soil. (Ireen ash and honey locust are especially adapied for dry upland planting in the more western and southwestern counties. . . . in the sand hills some of tho conifers, such as Wr-tern yellosv pin ani jack pine, undoubtedly may be planted with profit, since land values are certain to remain low."

KEEPING DOG EXERCISED.

A Ilarlemlte II n 1'onnd Oat IIott to Do It V.'llhoqt ThUIiik Illm Oat. One man in Manhattan has solved the problem oi how to keep a dog comIaratlvely comfortable even In the city, says the New Yovk Times. The do? has a certain amoc.nt of permanent liberty and still the owner never has to worry about his pot's whereabouts. William Montgomery, an elderly man, who keeps a plumbing shop in a little old-fashioned wKden building on the southeast corner of l."2d street and Amsterdam avenue, is the dog's owner. On the avenue side-adjoining hi little shop is an ample garden In which several well-grown shade trees flourish. All day long passersby, sometimes single, but often in group?, stop and gaze over the low fence Into the garden. Some-i times carriages and automobiles stop while their occupants crane their necks to take note of the curious sjectacle in the garden. Between two trees about fifty feet apart is stretched a wire, some seven or eight feet to the ground. Beneath one tree Is a dog kennel and tinder the other a raised wooden platform. The plumber's dog, a wire-haired Irish terrier, is attached to the wire and has a'n exercising ground 20 by 50 feet in area. The dog gets this restricted freedom by means of a long, light chain, one end of which is fastened to his collar, while the other is attached to an Iron pulley wheel which runs along the horizontal wire. Passers-by are attracted by the whirring notse made by the pulley and the rattle of the chain, as the little dog frisks -ir and down the garden. When he fat's to attract attention the dog sits in an expectaut attitude on his platform and gazes wistfully through a mass of tangled gray hair toward the street As soon as he is observed h2 lounds to the ground and barks with delight as he trots up and down. The dog's playground is as bare of verdure as a table, while outside his limits the garden is caneted with thick grass. "Uvo kept "that dog there for four year's," said Mr. Montgomery, "and he is now 11 or 12 years old. I used to take him out for walks, but my health became poor and I hit on this plan to give him a little liberty. He is always happy, unless children anm y him by throwing things, but I keep a pretty sharp eye out for them and he Isn't disturbed very often." HE GOT THE JOB. Meaning of !ir Voice that Pnasled Flat Dwellers. "With the windows once more orHMi we hear again," said the flat dweller, to a New York Sun man, "tho various familiar sounds of the open-window seaiton. The lady who sings and soars up and up to linger long on the tall, high notes is going strong, just as she was when we shut down the windows and shut out her voice last fall. We hear once more the phonographs, with new tunes but with the s;ime voices. And here Is the trombone man, blowing away sonorously, and the cornet man, a little farther down the block, but not quite so far away as we wished he lived. Is still keeping up his practice. They are all, all here, and we are glad at least that the muslcmakers have all come through the winter in good health. But with all the rest we hive had one found this season that was wholly new to us and that was until to-day a mystery. . "This sound first came to us when the windows were first opened, . some two weeks ago, and we have been hearing It regularly every night since. It was the voice of a young man, shouting and evidently practicing some form of shouting In whiel: he was seeking not only to perfect himself, but to excel. "At-yarl'-he'd sing out 'Waa-nr, waa-ar, waa-ar, waa-arl Hoo-rer, boorer, hoo-rer, zoo-rer, zoo-op! his voico rising high and sweeping swiftly 'down, ward, and then sweeping upward again with accumulating loudness. lie might pause for a moment a nil then you'd hear again the singers ,and the phonographs and trombones, L.id then: "'Whoo-op! II-yar! IJra-ar! braar! Yah! Yah! Ger-ar! Grab! Grah! Gr-ah! Whoe-e!' "But clearly he wasn't crazy; there was method In his fierce and varied vocal gyrations. Very evidently he was practicing for something practicing, and we all wondered, what could It be? But now we think we've solved the mystery. "Yesterday morning we saw in the newspapers this advertisement: "'Young man wanted to work In frankfurter stand; must be a good shouter. "And last night the man with the voice was missing. It looks as if he'd got the job." Wellington Did Well. The difficulty of saying a suitable thing about an unprepossessing person was once cleverly surmounted by the great Duke of Wellington. At a Manslou house dinner he was called on to propose the health of the lady mayoress, whom he had never seen. The duke got up and proposed the toast, describing the subject of "the model of her sex." Now, the lady happened to be a very plain, wizened little woman, so the then Lord Ellcnborough afterward asked the duke how he could describe that ugly little creature as the model of her sex. "Why," said the duke, "I thoughi I did very well. I had never seen her before, and didn't know what she was like and some models are blamed ugly !" Exchange. (iood for a Cold. Bishop Olmsted of Colorado was making a Christmas address to some Denver children. "Eat heartily on Christmas day," the bishop said, smiling. "Do full Justice to turkey, to cranberry sauce, to plum pudding, to all the good things. But don't gloat over your Christmas dainties like a Bala boy I used to know. This boy said one Christmas morning: My, I wish I had a cold! "WhyV asked his brother. " 'Cause mother says to feed a cold, and If I had one to-day, wouldn't I feed it, though!' ' Not Labor Lust. The safe bore a paper stating that there was nothing of value within. Nevertheless the burg'ar blew the, reccptable open, finding the statement correct "Well," he remarked, gathering up his tools, "it's worth something to ascertain that there are still people who tell the, truth'Philadlephla Ledger.

He has a new novel nearly ready, called "The Man Who Was Thursday," and he is preparing a "poetical play" for George Alexander. Ralph Connor is now working on a biographical volume, "The Life of James Robertson, D.

William Dean Ilowells, the most genial and catholic of critics, has discovered a new novelist "cf surpassing merit" Leonard Merrick "has been writing for ten or fifteen years, but to most American readers Mr. Howell's paper, "The Fiction of Leonard Merrick," In tbe North American Review will have the charm of novelty. Another Interesting addition to ' the Vorid's Classics Is "Joseph and Ilia Brethren," the dramatic poem by Charles "Wells?, the friend cf Keats. Hie Oxford University Tress has obtained the right to use A. C. Swinburne's prefatory mte to this poem, which has long been out of print Mr. Swinburne describes Wells as only one'iesser than the greatest of his time In some of the greatest qualities of hi? art, and says that there are some lines fci the poem which might more nature 1ly be mistaken, even by an, expert in rerse, for the work of the young Shakespeare than any to be gathered elsewhere in the fields of English poetry. On account of the welcome given to Mark Twain at Oxford and London, they are telling many stories. One Is fcy Andrew Lang, although It has tc do with one of Twain's. books, not with Twain himself. It was some years ?igo, and Andrew L&ug was in a railway car. on his way from Edinburgh io Oxford. In the same compartment with him was tho great scholar Jowett ff Balliol. Lang had picked up at random, as he hastily boarded the train, ti little book entitled "Tbe Celebrated Jumping Frog," and as he read it he was overcame with merriment Jowett looked at hVm with a sort of solemn cariosity, and Lang, coming to the last page, handed him the book. Jowett took It, read it patiently through from beginnet? to end with absolute gravity and without finding a suggestion of amuseirent, and then handed it back without a word ! HEN CHEWS TOBACCO. Refniiei to Hatch Oat Chlcka Unlesi Trovlded Tilth the Weed. When "Sandy" Hicks came to the vllIrge the other day and told how his stai leghorn hen, Lucy, had become so fai civilized that she could chew spruce gum and tobacco, tho folks took the tale with a grain of sc.lt says the New York correspondent at Macwamoc, Malre. "I reckon seeln Is believln and sc I'li show any of ye that's doubters," "Sandy" declared. John Hedges and Bert Brink hadn't much to do except fish so they went along out to "Sandy's" place, whew they were greatly surprised to see that Illcks was no nature-faker. "There she Is," Raid "Sandy," motioning to a motherly old hen on a nest of straw. "She's scttin and the only way I call keep her on Is to give her all the gum, and weed she wauts." "What's she chewing now?" asked Frink. "Gum," replied "Sandy, ""but she'I shift You watch." Taking a bit of fine-cut totacco from his pocket Hicks rolled it into a ball the size of a pea and extended It tc Lucy. With a cackle' of Joy the old hen gulped down the gum and was soon mouthing the morsol, working her bill the way a man wo.'kylhis jaws. "I shouldn't think she could chat without teeth, observed Hedges; "thai Is, not gum." "Well, she can," replied Hicks. "She sort of lets the gum soak till it's soft and then chews it real lively. As for the tobacco, that's easy. Why, I know a hundred men w Ithout even store teett who just dote on the weed." Toothless Lucy seemed to love the sedative and the last Hicks and his neighbors saw of her that day she was chewing away like a veteran while she hatched out her chicks. Why Horses Shy.

PAYING F0H OLD "WABS.

Debt of Store than Twelve Year Ago Xott Paid. The fact that the United States, on July 1. made Its last payment for the expenses of specie resumption in hag attracted Interest to the question, how other nations stand in that regard, says the New York Tost. The case of England is strikingly interesting. Until the Goschen act of 1SS8 fixed 1823' for the maturity of the llritish government's debt, no fixed term was ever set. Like the French per cent rentes, consols were perpetual. Nevertheless, they were anually redeemed In larpe amounts for the sinking fund. .Between the peace of Paris, which ended th3 Napoleonic wars In 1815, and the outbreak of the Crimean war in 1834, the debt was reduced 00.810,000, or an average of 1, -120,000 per annum ; between the Crimean war and 10OO it was reduced 4.SC0,OCO per annum. This was too slow a pace, however, to extinguish, even In a eentury, a debt which footed up M1. 000,000 when Napoleon went to St. Helena. The Crimean war of 18.14 added 33,018,000 to the debt; the total debt at the outbreak of the Boer war in 180'J was IG2S.978,000, and it has increased largely since 1S.10. This is to say, the British ovprnment Is still paying interest on 000,000,000 to (100.000.000 debt contracted lefore 1S15, and the British people are still footing the bills of Trafalgar, the German strupglcs,' the peninsular campaign and Waterloo. The contrast between this experience and our own I3 the more striking, in that our own public debt In August, 1SGT, was $2,SS1,.".X),000, or. more than one-half of the public debt of $L30.j,000,000 reported by Kngland fifty years before.

A decoction of the plant is put into two bottles, into one of which is added as much burnt" opium as the v patient Is accustomed to use In a day. When he craves opium he ls given two tablespoonfuls from the latter bottle and as much from the other bottle replaces It to fill the space. This is now repeated when called for, but no new opium is added. The patient ls cured In from ten to fifteen days. It looks like a plan for "tapering off," with the assurance that the medicine does It. The Independent. A WOMAN'S SUFFERINGS. A Dreadfnl Operation Seemed to lie the Only Outcome. Mrs. Clyde Pixley, Bridge street, Beiding, Mich., writes: "I bad inflammation of the bladder, and the trouble had gone so far in five years that my physicians said nothing but an operation would cura me. Awful bearing down pains, batkftches and headaches tortured me, there were spells of dizziness and faintness, the kidney secretions were like blood and passed with Intense pain. I had lost o0 pounds when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, and was dreadfully nervous. Iu one week I felt better and today I am a well woman and have been for a long time."

How to Exercise the Bowels

Your Intestines are lined Inside with millions of little suckers, that draw the Nutrition out cf food as it passes them. But, if the food passes too slowly. It decays before It gets through. t Then the little suckers draw Poison from It instead of Nutrition. This Poison makes a Gas that Injures your system more than the food should have nourished It You see, the food is Nourishment or Poison, just according to how long it stays The usual remedy thi3 delayed (called Constipation) is to take a big dose of Castor Oil. This merely makes slippery the passage for unloading the current cargo. It does not help the Cause of delay a trine. ' ' It does slacken the Bowcl-Musclesmora than ever, and thus weakens them for their next task. Another remedy ls to take a strong; Cathartic, like Salts, Calomel, Jalap, Phospate of Sodium, Aperient Water, or any of these mixed. What does the Cathartic do? It mere flushes-out the Bowels with a waste of Digestive Juice, set flowing Into the Intestines through the tiny suckers. But, the Digestive Juice we waste in doing this today Is needed for tomorrow's natural Digestion. We cannot afford to lose it. Th.it's why Cascarets are the only safe medicine for the bowels. TWO SISTERS HAD EC2E2IA. Catlcnra Cared Scalp Trouble of Two Illinois Glrl Another 81m ter Took Cntlcnra Pills. I must mucli praise to all the Cutlcura Remedies. I used but one cake of Cutlcura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, as that was all that was required to cure my disease, I was very much troubled with eczema of the head, and a friend of mine told me to use the Cutlcura Remedies, which I did, and am glad to sa; that they cured, my eczema entirely. My sister was also cured of eczema of the bead by using the Cutlcura Remedies. Another sister has used Cuticura Resolvent and PilU and thinks they are a splendid tonic. Miss Edith Hammer, R. F. D. No. C, Morrison, 111., Oct 3. lOOC." No Dnpllrate Chandeliers. Did you ever notice," paid the observing man, "that every public building has chandeliers unlike those of any other public building? There are no duplicates. You go Into one church and yon see a handsome chandelier that it would seem worth while to duplicate for another church, but you never find It in another church. You go Into a big hall, and you'll observe some stunning globes and chandelier fixtures and look for 'em in some other big hall, but they're not there. I don't know what principle the makers of chandeliers go on, whether It is a matter of pride with them not to fit out two buildings alike or whether contractors for Puch buildings insist on exclusive designs, but the chandelier people must employ some remarkably versatile artists to think up so many different designs. It seems like a waste of money to make only one of a kind, but It Is a pleasure to know that hall or home may be exclusive in its chandeliers." , The A Re of Discretion. Senator Dillingham, discussing !mmigratn In New York, made use of tho phrase, "the age of discretion." "What is the 'age of discretion, Senator?" asked one of his auditors. "I should say," returned Senator DI1Ilnghrtin. Mulling, "that tbe nje of discretion is reached when a young man removes fron bis mantel the rich collection of actresses' and dancing girls' photographs and substitutes the portrait of his rich bachelor uncle."
