C, Dec. 10, m l'e-rn-na Drug MTgOo, ColumhtM, O.: Gentlemen I've often heard of your great medicine and have Demanded my wife, who has been much of a sufferer from catarrh, to try Pe-ru-na., and after using one bottle ahe baa wonderfully Improved. It had proved all you have claimed for it, and I take pleasure iu recommending it to anyone who id afflicted with catarrh. Yours, Wm. Youngbloid, Auditor for the Interior. Catarrh In it various forms ia rapidly becoming a national curse. An undoubted remedy haa been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh in all stages and phases. There is no remedy that can be substituted. 1 HE NICHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES.

And yet the more presence of a man nt tuy window and at this hour Is compromising." "Hut uo one has m-t-u me. The grove Is as Kil. ni as at midnight." "Ah, yes," she sighed. "It Is always silent only tin whispering of the wind in the branches, only the wail of the storm through the limbs or a bird voice, but no human sound comes to my ears. AH day long I sit here and sometimes all the night. ' while my heart goes out. out. and I long for wlugs to fly away after It." - "But would you fly with me?" She regarded uie a moment curiously, silently, with what seemed to me a melting teudernens In her melancholy eyes, the leveled gluiii-es shooting "You are a stranger In Spain?" The t voice was low. bin clear and vibrant. The Uitttun milil imply re proof or pardon, perhaps both, foi what woman dm-s mil delight to entile: the one thai she may bestow the others "Yes. a comparative 'sts auger, but ! have lived litre Ion;: eunuch to liki your people, and I love your language." "Only the language? Have you foutio aothiug else to commend?" "lutleed. yes: the climate. the churches, the glorious ruins." "Hut the climate Is from God; the ruins wen- left us by the Moors. What what do you thiuk of the ladies?' "Alas. I , have met so few. Like your self, they are so closely immured in their Inaccessible- dwellings that I know less of them than I could wish. But from the Klimies I have caught, from the fair faces I have seen. 1 have concluded "that It is well for me I do not knowiliem better." "All. then you must 1m a woman hater. !v m.iit has told me that tbe Americans are cold and indifferent. She has ttecn in Cuba." "Not so. lady: net so. They are more truly lovers of your sex than perhaps the most liepassioucd of your eouutrymen. But thone cruel waits, these iron bars these barriers to freedom -behind which you are Imprisoned appall lis. In America women are free." "It Is quite different here." she sighed again. "We are never trusted out of sight. Even now, I have no doubt, some oue Is watching you. here at my wiudow. so close to me. I can see tuy aunt's eyes now jieepimr at us through the jalousies, and as for Felipe, why. he will In mad with jealousy!" "But what will they do toyouV" I demanded. "Do? To me? Nothing. They will not dare. But you-are you afraid?" "I do not know why I should be; do you?" "Yea." "Well. then, do not tell me. for if you "Oh. my brain might be filled with vision of outraged relatives demanding satisfaction, of Toledo blades wielded by practiced hands, of myself lying wounded, prostrate, and all for a brief moment's taste of transitory bliss." The black eyes dilated, the red Hps parted, showing pearly teeth, from between which she breathed a crisp exclamation: "Dies! But that is what I should have said. Beware of Felipe, my cousin. He is Indeed practiced with the Toledo; be could cut you to pieces T "Bother Cousin Felipe and his Toledo! I can care for him. If he doesn't sneak tip behind and stick me in tbe back with a Spanish cuchillo. But why beware?" " "Why? Ay de ml! I told you to go loo if minutes past. Why did you not?" "There was but one reason yourself. - Then" she leaned forward and whispered, her breath upon my cheek there shall be no reason; I will withdraw It" She thrust forth her hand, white, slender. Jeweled, and allowed me to touch the tips of her fingers with my own. Tbe trace of a smile flickered across her face, but in her eyes was a suggestion of troubled thoughts. "There Is something between us." I murmured. "You do not deny It?" "No. I cannot," she replied, "bnt yet it Is something that will serve to keep as forever aiart- Adios. Co now!" "I K not send nie away." I pleaded. 'And with a half glance over my shoulder 1 added. "On tbe other side of the

Congressman Howard from Alabama. Washington, Feb. 4th, 19. Pe-ru-na Drug M'f'g Co., Columbus, O.: Oentlemen I have taken Pe-ru-na now for two weeks, and find I am very much relieved. I feel that my cure will be permanent. I have also taken it for la grippe, and I take pleasure in recom mending Pe-ru-na as an excellent remedy to all fellow sufferers. Very liespeetf ully, M.W.Howard. Congressman Howard's home address Is Fort Payne, Ala. Any man who wishes perfect health mufet be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh Is well-nigh universal ; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru-na Is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is tha beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, la to cheat catarrh out ol its victims. Address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O., for a free catarrh bookgrove, at the window e the bouse near the foot of the bill. I have often seen a youug man standing, clinging to tin bars for hours and conversing with a young woman within." "Yes. true," she admitted, with a pretty shake of her head and a flash of the fan as at an imaginary enemy. Hut he Is her lover. Our customs sanction his presence there, because tecause he lias declared his Intentions. He Is her novlo. you see" "Then let me te yours." I exclaimed. rushing headloug to whatever fate was to be mine; "at least for the time be ing. Cannot we play at love? I can still 'sigh hue a furnace." I can say soft nothings." "Oh. no. no, no! That would not be right." "Then there Is that nameless something between us, as you admitted." "Something, yes," she rejoined, "but not nameless!" A sparkle of fun gleamed in her eyes: then they grew somber again. "Ah, me, out why will you not understand? I was about to tell you--to ask you but now it is too late. Maria sanctisslma! Look! There! Out there beneath the trees Is sotue oue lurking. And If is Felipe! He has seen all, perhaps heard all or enough to compromise me. And I can never explain. He will never believe. Go, go. go." I went. The eyes were dimmed by tears now, and their depths were not quite unfathomable, so I extricated myself.- I bowed, as haughtily as I could under the circumstances, and retreated. him he told tue so in a loud voice. "I am Felipe!" he shouted and with one hand thumpiut; his breast. "Ah." said I; "glad to meet you. But you are Fclijo what?" "Senor Ihu '-V'1k Maria I'omberoso y tiaii.-indoso. at your service, sir!" "Glad to meet you." I aain rejoin ed. But I did not advance to shake him I iv tiie hand, because iu bis right tie bel.l a long aud evil looking knife. "I am going to kill you!" lie yelled working himself into quite a respect able fury. "I might have stahttcd you when you were at the window con versing with my fiancee, for I was Just around the corner. But I forlwre. sir. I forliore." "So I see. And you did wrong. How ever, let us argue the qtiestiou. Why are yon so anxious to slay nie?" "Why? IHablo! lud I not hear with my own ears?" lie did not tell me what he heard, but leaed savagely toward nie. "Halt!" 1 shouted. "Stop right there!" A shrill cry issued from the window as I pulled a revolt t r Mi', t ot my Hcket and held it in line Willi Don Felipe's heart. But the youug iua;i halted In bis tracks, with glittering knife upraised. "Coward!" he tiissed. "Weil, no matter," I said. "I care more for my life than for your opinion Throw away that knife. Now tell me what It was you beard that incensed you so. Perhaps I can explaiu it away." "Never! Yon have robbed me of my sweetheart. You said, aud she assented, that there was there was something between you! C'aranttiaH' That was true, and 1 could not deny It. But a bright thought struck me. "Let us go to the senorita and ask her," I sug gested. Perhaps. I thought, she wilt show a way out of the scrape. And she did. "Something between us?" She was now ail radiant, for she had made a dupe of me and a fool of Felipe. "Of course, stupid! There was. and is. as you sec. this wait two feet thick, and a gran-d window!" Pictorial Ueview. The FlDrr Kails. In days when superstition was more prevalent than it is now the shape and appearance of the finger nails were considered to have reference to one's destiny. To learn the message of the finger nails It was necessary to rub them, over with a compound of wax and soot and then to bold them so that the sun light fell fully on them. Then on the horny transparent substance certain sigus and characters were supposed to appear from which the future could le Interpreted. Persons having certain kinds of nails were credited with the possession of certain characteristics. Thus a man with red and spotted nails wa supposed to have a hot temper, while pale, lead colored nails were considered to denote a melancholy' tempera meot Narrow uaiis were supposed to betray ambition aud a quarrelsome nature, while round shaped pails were the distinguishing marks of lovers of knowledge and people of lilieral sent! meat. .. ..... V Conceited, narroiv minded and obstinate folk were supiusd io have small nails, indolent people fleshy and those of a gentle, retiring uaiu.; broad nails. . .

OUR FIRST PHOTOGRAPH. It Wmm of Charles West, at Brooklyn Maa.lili Uilag. That the first man who ever sat before the camera should live to see photography In color an accomplished fact ehows very conclusively the rapid development of tLe art. Besides being the first subject of the flrst camera made in America. Dr. Charles E. West, a Brooklyn uonagenarian. la also the possessor of the finest collection of Jap aiiese curios' in the world. Dr. West recently said: "It was during the winter of 1S39-40, Just when Daguerre's great discovery was made put. lie by the French governiueut. that haniuel F. B. Morse, of telegraphic fame, whose studio (for he was au anist as welli was in Washing ton square. New York, returning from France, brought the news with him which was defined to create as grea a sensation In the uew world as in the old. Morse. John W. Draper, profess or of chemistry, and I became greatly Interested in the subject, and George W. Prosch, an Instrument maker of Nassau street, made us each a camera the first three made In America. "Of course the intention was simply to take inanimate objects, as it was argued that animated ones could not remain motionless long enough for the process. Finally, however. Draper tried his wife's picture, Morse bis daughter, and Prosch took mine." Here the doctor showed a handsome, velvet lined wooden case containing a cracked and seamed copper plate, but nothing more. The daguerreotype had vanished Not a trace of a feature could be seen Tbe sunlight had stolen It away. "You see," resumed the ve:iern'le dc; tor. "I jemrre.

And naturally when tbe picture was finished It showed me with closed eyes. But automatic picture making of human beings was an accomplished fact, aud Mrs. Draper was the first -woman uion whom It was demonstrated aud I the first man." New York Photo-Era. Tbe Speed of Cable Messages. In operating long cables very dell cate Instruments are required, and the currents arriving at the receiving end are very feeble in comparison with those employed in land line signaling. The longer the cable naturally the feebler the Impulses arriving at the re ceiving end.-A short cable, a cable of under 1,(X0 miles being generally con sidered a short cable, gives a speed of signaling amply sufficient for all pur poses with a conductor weighing about 100 pounds to tbe mile, surrounded by an insulating envelope of gutta percba weighing about an equal amount. When we come to a cable of about twice this length. It Is found necessary, in order to get a practically unlimited speed that is, a speed as high as the most expert operator can read It to employ a core of C50 pounds of copper to, the mile, insulated with 4O0 pounds the proportions of copper and gutta percba in the 18!4 Anglo-American At lantie cable, which Is considered the record Atlantic cable, for speed of working aud has been worked by auto matic transmission at the rate of some 45 words a minute. Scribuer's. An Embassador's Breeehes. Foreign embassadors on court occa sions wear trousers with a broad gold band running down oue side of the legs trousers that closely resemble those worn by certain attendants that can be seen standing outside licensed houses of refreshment. When, how ever, an embassador appears before the queen, he has to wear knee breech es. A few nations, for the most part unimportant ones that pride them selves on being up to date, have re fuse! to allow their representatives to follow this antiquated custom. In hese cases the diplomatists, seeing that they must wear something differ ent from their everyday dress, have de cided to wear lavender colored trousers with broad gold bands running down seams. If they had ouly come un der the Influence of William Morris, iiey might have chosen the more regal purple as the color of their uether gar 1. . nts. Chambers' Journal. ' ooarest Eire trie Bond la the World. When completed, the Geneva Lake, yeainore and Morris road will be. the longest electric line in the world, says the Chicago Times-Herald It will extend from Morris. IlLs to Geneva.

It is just as easy to drift into dangeas to drive into it. The progress is slowe: but the end is equally sure It is th gTadual progTessot dotting which biindto the danger. Men and women drift intt .'l-health in such a way. There is s i:ttle feeling of oppression after eatine After a time it passes away. Some dait returns and brings another symptom headache, perhaps. Something is dom to relieve tie headache, but nothing tt relieve the cause. So one more yictin goes drifting on to the rocks of disease Young women who are teaching oi studying are very apt to become victims of disease of the stomach. They eat in judiciously, in some cases, and in gen end the brain is too occupied to ailov the stomach the blood necessary to carry on its functions.

The extension of a railway branch hasoieu il the thtor to tbe vallev of tbc Noito Platte which lies in western Ne braska and woutheastern Wyoming. Tbe eastern aud southern portions of the valley have long been settled, bat the avoidance of the upper pait of the valley by the various railroad Hues which m, filar to the north aud south of it Las made the settling of tbe section slow work. The Nebraska portion of this territory lies in Cheyenne and Scott liiuff cuuii ties aud iucluiie a section which is es ceptiouaiiy well tuiujired to agi icuitura. pursuits as well as to tbe raising of stock for market. While the average ana. a. rainfall, like that iu nuo a f we-teru Ne biaska, is iiiil. tuts delieieucy is ni-.r than couutei balanced i-y the facilities tor irrigation. The irrigation problem in u "iiidescelit dream." Ou tbe coutraiy. ditches have been constructed an J hate been in operation for some time over several thousand acres, wUile the abuit dant crops of small grains aud veg tablehave demonstrated beyond a doubt thai the soil is of a tuust excellent ju.4i.ty. Outside of the irrigation district thland is rolling and covered with a heavy growth of prairie grass, upon vrbieh stock feeds the year through and grows fat. Nowhere in this country is found better ran?e land than in the low lying hills along the valley of the North Platte, and the added advantage of irrigation makes this section one of the finest placet in tbe world for the farmer with smal capital who is seeking a home. The new railroad branch starts at Al liance. Neb., and runs to the brand new town of Northport. on the north bank of the North Platte. There the line branch es, one arm reaching tentatively south CHIMNEY ROCK NKAK BAYARD, KKB ward to make connections with transcontinental roads, the other following the river closely up the valley into Wyoming. On both branches the track is being laid at the rate ot about a mile a day, and the boom travels far in advance ol the terminal station. Along the project ed line there are many little prairie hamlets which for years have led a struggling existence, but which today are full of expectant life. Just now you would have to ride many miles on horseback oi in a stage to reach them, but when you igot there you would find town lots quot led at from $30O to $1,000 each and th year or so the railroad will be extended somewhere in the vicinity. One of the oldest towns along the liar is Bayard, which was founded all of 11 years ago by an enthusiastic band of men who expected the town to at onot jdevelop into a metropolis. But somehow Bayard did not develop auddenlv. Per ihaps it was because the nearest railroad was hundreds of miles away. But. ol pourse. you cannot expect promoters t think of every little detail when they ar engaged in such a profound work as that !f starting a metropolis. hen the founders of Bavard discov ered their mistake, they lost their entbu siasm and went away, leaving of tb briginal settlers only a determined editoi ind a hardware dealer. These prairie pi Sneers are still residents of Bayard, and it least US other pi-ople live there with hem. When the rails were finally laid, it wa? lisoovered that the town was fully one eighth of a m.'le from tffe station. Bay ird tried to get the railroad people t: hange the line. As the railroad men ktuld not be peruaditl to bring the rail oad to the town, the people of Bayard solved to move the town to the railroad jnd this they did with the aid of trucks jind many oxen. And now Bayard string tself out Hlong the rails, hugely content o gaze at the iron pathway over which wmp day and in some manner prosperity Is to come. The western Nebraska section of th North Platte vallt-y is chieflv a catfh ouutry. but farther on the road run? through the rich mining district of south astern Wyoming. It is expected that it will eventually be pushed across Wvo ning and up through Idaho to Salt Lake City. The geological formation of the Platte alley in Cheyenne county affords a field for interesting investigation. Southwest f Bridgeport apieara a lofty excrescence pwering aliove the prairie like a huge pile or masonry ana near it. to the east. smaller pile. These rocks have been amed respectively Courthouse rock and ail rook. Off to the west appears a itrange freak of natnr which has been amed Chimney rock.
