Miss Mary O'Brien, SCO Myrtle Ave- Brooklyn, N. Y., writes : "Peruna cured me in five weeks of catarrh of the stomach, after suffering for fouiyears and doctoring withrwt effect. In common with other grioful ones who have been benefited by your discovery, I say All hail to Peruna." Mr. II. J. Ilenneman, Oakland, Svb.. writes: I waited before writing to you about my sickness, catarrh of the stomach, which I had over a year ago. "There were people who told me it would not stay cured, but I am sure that I am cured, for I do not feel any more ill effects have a good appetiti and am getting fat. So I am. and w'U say to all, I am cured for good. I thank you for your kindness. "Peruna will be our house medicine hereafter." Catarrh of the stomach is also known In common parlance as dyspepsia, gastritis and indigestion. No medicine will be of any permanent benefit except it removes the catarrhal condition. Gained Strength and Flesh. Miss Julia Butler, It. Ii. 4, Appleton, Wis- writes she had catarrh of the stomach, causing loss of sleep and appetite, with frequent severe pains after eating. She took Peruna, her appetite returned, she gained strength, fle&k and perfect health. How to Make m. Furniture Polish. To mate a furniture polish use one ounce of brown beeswax, one-ball ounce of white wax, one-half ounce ol castile soap, one-half pint of turpentine and one-half pint of water. Shred th brown and white wax into a jar (a two pound jam jar will do), add th turpentine and let It stand on the stov tmtll dissolved. Shred the soap anJ let it boil in the water until quite dissolved. Allow to cool, then pour intj the jar and stirr all the Ingredients together. When cold, it will be a thick cream and must be kept air tight Foi old furniture this produces a deep, glowing polish quite different fron anj other, and it does not finger mark. 7ELL0W CLOTHES ARE UNSIGHTLY.

The consul cays; Tbe.data is expected to prove much more comprehensive than any other similar data heretofore collected in th empire and will, when arranged and tabulated, fill. It is said, some twentyGve large volumes. This census Is de 6lgncd to show the number of people ol both seies, whether married or single in the various iuiustries. It will shoM the number of minors engaged In different employments, the number of those engaged at hand work or with machinery, or both, rnd the extent tc which home labor enters Into manufacturing and trade. Careful inquiry into all tranche? of agriculture, commerce, forestry and stock raising, with special reference in the latter as to the question of meat and otter food supplies, -will show what amount of land Is worked by the owners and what by renter??.

MY COMRADE.

I have a comrade; he crd I are like As any pair of peas In any pod. A wilful creature he, as you would strike, And aye Impatient 'neath affliction's rod. ' When his own way Ik fimls lie cannot get He raises Ned and other things to boot; With awful voice ho roars his dreadful fret. Regardless that the world won't care a hoot. My comrade likes to play the newest game He quickly tires of all that's old and trite. Scarce plays he two Micceociing days the same, Amusements seem to age so over night, ne will not work unless he Is compelled. He smiles on those with whom he thinks a smile The best investment, and his head gets swelled By people's praise, regardless cf their guile. My comrade likes the food that least agrees With his digestion hates the wholesome things; Hates other people's vvarblings, but decrees We all stand breathless, harking while he sings. In all these ways, and eke in many more, My comrade's instincts tally weil with mine. He is my child, I should have said before; He's two years old, and I am thirty-nine. Chicago News.

When Richard Harlow informed his wife through the 'phone one morning that MIps Carew was in town and had accepted his invitation to take dinner with them that evenirg, Louise, his wife, could scarcely keep back the remonstrating exclamation, "Oh. Dick!" but she restrained the Impulse, aud after a scarcely perceptible hesitation, answered, 'Well, I'll try to have a gxd dinner." , "Nice girl, Louise," came hack in a satisfied voice. 'I knew you wouldn't object. You never do. Is there anything you want me to get?" he asked. -No," Louise returned. "I will order what I need from the grocery." -AH right," said Dick. "Is C or 7 o'clock the hour?" "I think we'll say 7." Louise answered, mindful of the many things which must be done before evening. "All right," Dick repeated. "I'd like you two girls to meet You know you're sort of connected." There was a touch of laughter in his voice which Louise understood and returned. "Goodbye," said Dick. "Goodbye," said Louise, and the conversation ended. Mrs. Harlow was in the midst of her prlng housecleaning and was neither prepared nor In the humor of guests, especially when the guest was ItlchercYs first love, a woman sho never had Feen, but had heard of frequently. While there was only one room In the chaotic condition pertaining to housecleaning, still the curtains were removed from several of the windows, and tbe house appeared in rather of a dismantled condition, according to Louise's critical eyes. She took pride In her housekeeping always but she was especially desirous there should be no flaws when, for th nrst time, it came under Miss Carew's observation, i She should make the best of It and titter no apologies, she decided. Miss Carew should know without explanation what was going on, though It was doubtful if she would, Louise remembered, as she had never kept house herself and had no practical knowledge of what it involved. Miss Carew was a successful lecturer. Speaking before the woman's clubs was her specialty, and an engagement of this sort had brought her to the city. She and Dick were engaged, and their engagement broken, some time before he met Louise. It was scarcely more than a boy and girl affair, and Dick' had nerer spent a moment In repining, but be was Inclined to tease, and the prominence which Miss Carew's name was given in the papers kept her In his memory, so that he often spoke of her to his wife in mock sentimentality, as his first love. Louise had an early romance, too. She told the story to Dick w hen th?y found they loved each other enough to marry, and then she promptly forgot the hero of her girlish dreams, though he occasionally wrote her a letter, to tsmlnd Lcr that he still existed, and hid not forgoteu. For the first time In a long while Iuise thought of him when she was making preparations to entertain Miss Carew, after having put a stop to the housecleaning operations. She smiled to herself when she remembered that always, In his letters, there were veil?d Illusions to the romance they had lived together, and thinly disguised regret that they should have parted. Now that the pain he had caused her was past, the veiled allusions and regrets filled her with amusement. He was the one who had ended the romancG by marrying while she was away at school. He had written her loving letters each week, without conreying a hint of what he was intending. The news of It shocked and hurt her sorely when it came from another source. After a while she did not care, and no thought of him had ever marred the happy, congenial life, she and Dick lived together. In the midst of her reflections the telephone bell rang again, and she went to answer its summons. She heard a ofr, drawling voice ask for Mrs. Ilavlow. "I am Mrs. Harlow." slio returned. "Is thit you, Louis,??" came through the 'phone. "I didn't dare to be sure. I happened to be passing through the city and thought I would call you up. Do you know who I am? Don't tell me you have forgotten I" The Inflection of the tones were pleading. Louise knew the voice, though she had not heard It for years. Its sound was once like a hand laid uimu her heart, but that effect was numbered with the things that have been and are no longer. "Why, It's Charlie!" she exclaimed, with well-aimulated surprise, "How

mm

do you do? What a surprise you are! When did you come to the city, and where are you?" Her questions, sav one, were Ignored. 'I am very well and I want so much fo see you. Can't I sco you, Louise? Can't I see you alone?" Mrs. Harlow was doing some rapid thinking. She had no groat desire to see her girlhood's love, but the Idea of having him come to dinner with Dick's first love appealed to her sense of humor. Now that company had been forced upon W, one more would make little difference. Come out and have dinner with us this evening," she invited cordially. "I should love to have you come' she assured him. And may I see you alone. Just for a few moments, so we may talk of old times, Louise," the soft, languid vo!ce pleaded. "Oh, I don't know about that. Come out and see," she answered, briskly. "Thank you, ever so much, Louise. I shall be glad to come," she heard through the 'phone. Louise did not inform Dick of the addition to their parry until he reached home a short tine before the hour for dinner. He was standing In the Middle of their room, vigorously brushing his hair. The brushes were suspended in midair, while ho gave a long whistle of surprise wnca his wife told him who was coming. He looked a little grave and thoughtful, and glanced at Louise anxiously. She was standing before her mirror, apparently busily engaged with the finishing touches of her toilet. In reality, sl:e was watching the reflection of her husband's face In the glass, and what she saw filled her eyes with the twinkle of mischief. "Yes," she said, demurely. "I haven't seen Charlie for years. I should like you two to meet ach other. You know you're sort of connected." "OL you go on," he exclaimed, throwing his arms around her, to the peril of her delicate gown. "Go on yourself, you're another," Louise returned saucily. "I guess you're not the only one In the family who had a first love." They indulged in a hilarious mood while they awaited their guests, but they received them with proper decorum, and talked polite nothings until dinner was served. Loulse, consclous of looking pale and jaded after her day's exertion, feit disturbed by the freshness and finish of tl c handsome Mis? Carew. She was s.i correct in her appointments, and so sure of herself and of - her attractions. Th? slender, unformed girl Dick remembered had developed into a Junoestiue woman. Everything about her was in good practice, and she spoke as one who was accustomed tc receiving attention. Dick was fascinated by the change, and paid her the homage of open admiration. Miss Carew was gracious to the others, but It was Dick in whom she was most Interested, and upon whom she was exerting her charm. The two seemed so absorbed in each other that Louise and Charlie whose formal name was Mr. Leland were practically alone. While she talked with him, she studied him curiously, and marveled why he had once seemed a godlike creature to her. Meeting him now was jv commonplace as getting up In the morning. To all outward appearances time had not changed him; It had simply passed him by. She noticed his jlair had grown thin on the top of his head, but It was carefully arranged so as to conceal his approaching baldness. His eyes were as bright and expressionless as ever, and the same girlish pink tinted the smooth skin of his cheeks. She listened to his talk, and discovered his mentality was as little changed as his physical appearance. Finding himself unnoticed by- Dick and Miss Carew, he lowered his voice and threw the loverlike quality Into his manner. Louise v. as not happy. The magnificence of Miss Carew overwhelmed her, making her feel insignificant and inferior. Miss Carew gave out the impression of one who had no weaknesses. People who have no weaknesses are so terrible. Louise thought, there is no way of taking advantage of them or of finding fault She was not in the least Influenced ty Charlie. She glanced across the table at Dick and rejoiced that, while he was not so polished or elegant as her first love, he was every inch a man, and genuine. She heard his hearty laugh In response to something Miss Carew was saying, and she became so lost to her surroundings In her pride of him that she forgot to listen to the tender reminiscences Charlie was murmuring. The same situation continued throughout the evening, with Dick and Miss Carew entertaining each other, while Leland and Iuise kept near together. At length Charlie, awakening to the fact that the spell he had cast over Louise years before no longer held sway, assumed a hurt expression and was the first to go. "You're not the same Louise to me any more," he said, reproachfully, when she went with him to the door. "Why should I le when you have a wife and I hart Dick?" she answered. "Ah. yes," he sigUed In departing. Iuise returned to the room where Miss Carew and Plcfc were sitting. She took a chair near them, somewhat uncertalrly, not feeling sure she would be licluded In their conversation.

Dick, without pausing in what he wa? saying, extended his hand toward Louise in abscntmtnded welcome. Miss Carew gave a condescending recognition of her presence. Louise's cheeks burned with a sense of injury, but she held her ground. Dick was her's, ;:nd Miss Carew should know it. Finding that Louise Intended to stay, Miss Caxew included her In the conversation, making an evident effort to talk down to her level. Miss Harlow, she thought, was not worthy of her ammunition, but as her guest she must be courteous. She did not wait long after Charlie had sighed himself away, before she asked Dick to telephone for a carriage Louise was astonished at the alacrity with which her request was obeyed. She was relieved when her regal guest was borne away In the carriage, and the diminishing sound of the wheel? assured her of Miss Carew's certain departure. She thought, half resentfully, that Dick need not have lingered quite so long at the door of the carriage, but Dick was home aud Miss Carew had gone, and this was a great consolation. She could hear Dick in the hall closing the house for the night. It had a. homely sound that gave her a tense of security and com fort. When Dick came into the room h breathed a long "phew" as one who had passed through a trying exertion. "She's a wonder," he said. "She's a good-looker and a good dresser, but I'd rather come down from the heights and play tag with everyday mortals." "Why, Dick," cried Louise. "I thought you were completely under the spell." "I thought you were, too," Dick returned, quickly. They laughed at each other In understanding. Then Dick went to his wife, and lounging on the broad arm of her chair, held her to his shoulder. "Little mortal," he whispered. "I'm glad my first love and I didn't get married." His eyes rested fondly en Louise's happy face. She nestled cosily against him, and was silent for a moment. When she was ready to speak, "Dick, dear," she said, "I'm wondering how in the world I ever Imagined myself In love with Charlie." Toledo made. LAKE SUPERIOR WATER PUREST.

Revolt of a Serie of 1ts Made bj the Government. The water In Lake Superior Is th purest in the great lakes, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. ( Lake Erie contains the largest per centage of Incrustants. Lake Superior was sampled at Sault Sie. Marie, Lake Huron at Port Huron and Lake Michigan from the Strait of Mackinac near St. Ignac, Lake Erie at Buffalo. The series was completed by the collection" of samples from St. Lawrence Itivcr below Lake Ontario, near Ogdensburr, X. Y. The stations were located at or very near the outlets of the lakes, so that the samples taken would be influenced as little as possible by local surface drainage. The ideal position for the stations would have been of course, in the middle of the lake, but for obvious reasons samples could not be taken at such places. The analyses show that the waters hold In solution varying quantities of calcium and magnesium compounds, which, from their tendency to form scale or Incrustations on boilers, are called incrustants. Named in the order of the totnl content of iTicru tants, beginning with the lowest, th; lakes rank as follows: Superior, IIv ron, Michigan, Ontario, Erie. Ths waters of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are nearly Identical in quality, and the Rime may bo said of those of Lakes Ontario and Erie. Lake Superior, however, carried Just about half the amount of incrustants borne by the other lakes. The reason for this variation Is found in the geological formation that surround the lakes. The streams flowing Into Lake Superior drain area? composed chiefly of crystal I nc rocks which yield scant quantities of mineral matter to waters flowing through them; the streams entering Lake Michigan and Huron, on the other hand, traverse regions made up largely of soluble sedimentär rocks, limestones, sandstones and clays, which yield to the waters comparatively large amounts of the calcium and magnesium compounds. The difference in mineral content between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan results from the dilution of water of Lake Huron by the soft water of Lake Superior. Lake Erie is highest in incrustants because i receives not only the waters of La 'tes Michigan and Huron, but the drainage from immense areas of sedimentary rocks in Indiana and Ohio and the province of Ontario. BRET HARTE'S GRAY HAIR. Toet Decrlbe It to Fear of Attack Once, indeed, on my remarking the graying of his hair, Harte told me It was due to the continued influence of fear while a rider with Yuba Bill. Several of his predecessors in charge of the specie casket having been shot, he never mounted the stage, so he declared, without some apprehension of a dark glen, a flash therefrom, a rejtort, and a tumble from the seat ; and, although he nerved himself to his new duties as best as ho could, they grew more uncongenial with every repetition. Then it was he Lad noticed that he was growing gray about the temples. I reminded him of his own military career of his having enlisted as a volunteer In the war between the Eel River and Scott River Indians. To which allusion he replied. "Yes, that was after the Humboldt bay massaere. I was escorted to the recruiting officer by indignation and hunger! Hut although the hardships and privations endured then left me a feeble stomach and Irritable nerves, I came to no other harm. Having no blood to spare, I shed my digestion for freedom. You see," he continued, "I never had any sympathy with those inesspork heroes, although their ways, and. above all, their ioInt of view, were to mo an Inexhaustible source of amusement and Interest. I cared little whether, they wore their own scalps on their heads or wore the scalps of others to trim their buckskius.

It is asserted that the trust fixes tho price of cream, dictate the territory for each creamery, and when an Independent butter factory start up the trust raises the price of cream and drives it out of business. In addition to this it Is claimed that the railroads have given the trust special rates and that the small creamery man stands no show. The trust Is reported as making an annual profit of from 100 to 200 per cent. The attorney general has been commissioned to squelch .the trust. Ground Corn for lfogm. The Wisconsin experiment station has for many years been testing feeding hogs on whole corn and meal with middlings. The average of all these tests with 117 head of hogs fed dryshelled corn and wheat middlings, made an average gain of 9G.8 poundu each, while an equal number fed cornmeal and wheat middlings gained 110.9 yound of gain In the two cases be!n pounr of gain In the two cases being M9 pounds and 4.88 pounds. The saving from grinding, therefore, has amounted to 5.7 per cent, ncocrding to the price of corn per bushel, showiug that when one owns his own com fed mill and power, he can afford to grind is corn for feeding hogs, etc. Food for Yoansr Slock, For young and growing stock the foods that contain the mineral elements should be preferred, but where linswxl meal and clover are used there will be no necessity for feeding bran. A laige number of farmers purchase bran, aad it will be to their Interest to endeavor to know something of the various kinds on the market, ns a falling off In the nutritious elements of the bran used may really cause it to be eximslve. There are also excellent prTprletary foods that are well balanced. Mpny farmers feed the ground material

a I5J Independently of the coarse food. It is considered more laborious to mix all the reading materials together, for tho reason that If the ground grain is to be mixed with the hay and fodder tho latter must be passed through the cutter and reduced to a fine condition. Of course, there are objections to so doing, yet the cutting of the food into short lengths will effect a saving that would more than offset the cost of labor, as the stock would eat more and cost less. Put there Is a gain in feeding ground grain with cut hay or fodder iu another manner. When the grain Is mixed with the coarse material it is more easily digested, as it is divided and carried into the stomach in a condition which permits of the gradual action of the digestive orgaas. The long provender, also being in a fine etate, a great proportion of nutrition is thereby extracted, and the system of treating tho whole together will prove economical. Trre-Granlng Bounty. There is a law on the statute books of Pennsylvania which ought to have a wide circulation. It Is "An Act for the Encouragement of Forestry." The law takes the best means possible to encourage owners of land to preserve and propagate timber-trees, for It allows a reduction of taxes to the owner of forest land which comes up to certain requirements of the act. The first man. to take advantage of the new- law is an Allegheny county farmer, Mr. Tenner, of Leet township. As told by the Pittsburg ChronicloTelegraph, Mr. Tenner has obtained from the county commissioners a reduction of $22.50 on his taxes for complying with the provisions of the law. It Is rather remarkable that the second county In that State in point of population should bo the first to pay a bounty for forest preservation under the new law, but such is the c3se. The land owner who preserves his woods not only gets this Immediate reward, but the increasing value of the trees will make a further and larger profit for him eventually. Digestion ot Foods 'In Feeding. A series of tests is reported by Storrs Station, Connecticut, in which corn meal and mixed hay in turn were fed as a maintenance ration to two dry, farrow cows. The results of tests with milch cows, pigs and calves aVe also quoted and discussed for purposes ( of comparison. On an average 23 pounds of corn meal containing 4.5 pounds digestible nutrients was required for maintenance by the farrow cows as compared with 13.15 pounds of hay containing 7.1 pounds of digestible nutrients; that Is, on an average 57 per , cent more digestible nutrients was required for maintenance when derived from hay than from corn meal. "Less digestible nutrients from corn meal, therefore, were required for maintenance than from hay, leeause less en-ergj-of the feed was used in the work of digestion and assimilation." "An increase in the proportion of grain to roughage In a ration for milch cows (In tests which were quoted) tends to facilitate digestion, and Is followed by increased production." A similar explanation will account for the more rapid gain In the case of pigs and calves fed the more easily digestible rations in the tests summarized. Iu general, according to the author, "tho value of a feed ' dependä upon Its composition, digestibility and ease or facility of digestion. The first first two factors are considered In Viz formulation of rations. The third factor has only recently been recognited, and little definite knowledge in regard It is at band. In a general way it U recognized that milk is more easily digested than meal, concentrates than roughage, early than late cut hay. silage than corn stover, oat than rye straw. A pDund of digestible matter, therefore, should be more valuable in the former than in the latter." Valne of Sunflower. The sunflower, though It originated in this country in the region of the great plains, is not used so extensively here ar in some other countries, notably Russia. It is a long time since the plant first delighted the eyes of Europeans, being then cultivated in the gardens of Madrid. The early Spanish explorers had found it In this country and taken it home with them. The plant was utilized by the American Indians long before the days of Columbus. When Champlain visited the Georgian Jiay in 1015 he found the natives growing it and using tha oil for their hair. It was raised chiefly, however, for the food afforded by the seed3. In Russia at the present day the seeds are eaten In Immense quantities, raw or roasted, as peanuts are In America, and the oil obtained by pressing the seeds Is an Important article of diet. The frequent religious fast tv s In that country restrict the use of meat and lead to a large consumption of vegetable oil. The manufacture of sunflower oil has consequently grown to considerable dimensions. The best seeds yield an oil that compares favorably with olive oil for table pur poses. Even the upper classes In Iiussia eat the seeds, the larger and finer ones being quite equal to most nuts In respect of palatabillty and wholesomeness. The stalks aud dried leaves are highly prized for fuel, being In seme parts of the empire almost the only available substitute for wood. An acre of sunflowers will yield many cords of gxd fuel. The oil appears to have more of the general properties of olive oil than has any other known vegetable oil. It takes about a bushel of seeds to make a gallon of oil, and fifty bushels of seeds can be grown on one acre of land. As the oil sells at $1 a gallon, the profit is large. , Of late years purified sunflower oi" has been used extensively to adulterate olive oil. It Is of a pale yellowish color and decidedly palatable. In a crude state it Is used by painters to some extent, but it is inferior to linseed oil for use in paint. In addtion to the oil from the seeds, the stalks, when green, and the oil cake make excellent fodder. The fiber of the stalks, which is fine, silky and very strong, also has a value. In China it is woven Into beautiful fabrics, and it Is believed that, by use of proper machinery, It might be utilized most profitably In this country.

England's National Color. Why red should have been selected as the national color becomes Intelligible when we look at the cross of St George. Sir Walter Scott, when he wrote of how "their own sea hath whelmed those red cross powers," was merely anticipating the phrase of today. But Oliver Cromwell, when for the first time he put the English soldier In a red coat probably did as much as St. George to monopolize red as the national color. The aggressive color has, however, many meanings and has lent itself to many uses.
