Quality in Thunder.

Thundqr fe due to a sudden disturb* knee of the air by a violent discharge of electricity and the character of the sound varies according to the position of the observer relative to the path of discharge. A flash is sometimes a mile long. If the observer 1b located at about the same distance from each of the bodies between which the discharge takes place the sound of the thunder would be a sharp clap. If the observer is nearer one end than the other the sound will roll along as one. portion of the sound reaches him more quickly'than the other. Sound travels at the rate of about 1,100 feet per second and light at 188,000 miles per second. [

An Honest Man's Opinion.

Vermont, Mo., April 28.—1 f what Mr. J. S. Tillery of this place says is true —and none who know him doubt his honesty—the new remedy, Dodd’s Kidney Pills, is a wonderful medicine indeed. Mr. Tillery says: “I had Kidney and Liver Trouble for years. I had used many medicines, but could get nothing to cure me. “I heard of a new remedy called Dodd’s.Kidney Pills and began a treatment, with the result that I was ,yery soon on the mend. "I kept on using the pills and am now entirely better. I honestly do believe that they are the greatest remedy the world has ever seen. “I am always willing to help a good thing, and I cannot say too much for one that helped me so much. “If I didn’t know that Dodd’s Kidney Pills would do all that is claimed for them I wouldn’t say a word of praise for them.”

COMMEPCIAL AND FINANCIAL

~ r ~ ' "Weather conditions have NeV YOFK. been potent for good dur- —- itfg the past week. Retail distribution wtts greatly accelerated, .which in turn enlarged jobbing trade and brought more pressure on manufacturers tpr prompt shipment: agricultural work was facilitated and building operations made rapid progress; traffic increased at the interior as the of country roads improvedi which made collections better. Some labor controversies were settled and others were averted. Complaints are still heard regarding tardy deliveries, but freight is less congested, and business has increased to the extent of 6.9 per cent, larger railway earnings for April thus far than last year, and 16.3 per cent over 1900,” according to R. G. Dun & Co.’s WeeklyReview of Trade. Continuing, the report says: “Quotations of iron and steel cannot yet be considered inflated, but the market is following a natural cdurse. despite the efforts of leading interests to maintain a conservative position. Supply and demand must in the long run govern prices, and in this industry heeds are greater than available stocks, although productive capacity bus largely expanded. “Pressure tor p>g xhxd is very gresA, but furnace men have contracted for their output far into the future, and consumers who want prompt delivery are willing to pay premiums. Similarly as to steel rails, the regular price of S2B has become nominal on current business, an advancg of $5 a <ton being readily paid fbr immediate delivery. This is especially noticeable on urgent trolley construction. Specifications for new buildings promise abundant additional contracts for structural material, while some mills have already sold their entire output tor 1902, Machinery and hardware lines share in the exceptional activity, and are doing a "brisk export business in spite of high prices.

“Cotton goods have not followed the fluctuations in the raw material, although its strength has contributed to the steadiness of the finished product. The feature of the week was. the increased inquiry for export, and mills catering to this trade are sold far into the autumn. In the domestic trade many bids slightly below ruling prices were not considered, and it is evident that supplies are in strong hands. Deliveries are being made more promptly, yet there is no fear of accumulation. “Woolen goods are in less urgent demand, purchasers having secured most of the cloth which the American company was unable to furnish owing to the strike,—Buying of dress goods has decreased. and jobbers are beginning to go out with fall lines. “Footwear shipments from Boston have decreased, but jobbers are placing orders for fall and the shops are fairly well occupied. Shoe, manufacturers are buying leather more freely, holding prices fairly steady, except for hemlock sole, which lost half a cent. “Grain and meats have continued very strong. There was some logical explanation of the advance in corn, interior receipts falling to 857,000 bushels for the week, while Atlantic exports rose to 384,603 bushels, an unusually large total for recent times, although small by comparison with tlie corresponding week in preceding years. Wheat was sustained by exports from all ports of 4,485.352 bushels, flour included, against 4.613,891 a year ago. "Cotton attained a higher price. Southern markets leading the advance on creasing port receipts and a good demand from spinners. Sugar and coffee have been notably weak, the latter falling to within a sixteenth of the bottom record. “Failures for the week numbered 261 in the United States, against 206 last year, and 24 in Canada, against 21 a year ago.’’

A PASTOR’S WI FE

She Sufferedfor Years and Felt Her Case Was Hopeless —Cured by Peruna. MRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent Superintendent of the W. G. T. U. headquarters, at Galesburg, 111., was for ten years one of the leading women there. Her husband, when living, was first president of the Nebraska Wesleyan University, at Lincoln, Neb. In a letter written from 401 Sixtyseventh street, W., Chicago, 111., Mrs. Flefaarty says the following in regard to Penina: . “Haring lived a very active life as wife •nd working partner of a busy minister, my health failed me a few years ago. I lost my husband about the same time, and gradually I seemed to lose health and spirit. My daughter is a confirmed Invalid, and we both felt great need of an invigorator. ••One of my neighbors advised me to try Peruna. A bottle was immediately secured and a great change took place in my daughter’s as well as in my own health. Our appetites improved very greatly, the digestion seemed much helped, and restful sleep soon improved us, so that we seemed like new women. *H would not be without Peruna for ten times its cost” —Mrs. Anna B. Pleharty. What used to be called female diseases by the medical profession is now called pelvic catarrh. It has been found by experience that catwchel diseases of the pelvic organs are the cause of most cases of female disease. Dr. Hartman was among the first of America’s great physicians to make this discovery. For forty years he has been treating diseases peculiar to women, and lofig ago he reached the conclusion that a woman entirely free from catarrhal affection of these organs would not be subject to female disease. He therefore began using Penina for these cases and found it so admirably adapted to their permanent cure that Peruna has now become the most famous remedy for female diseases ever known. Everywhere the women are using it and praising it. Peruna is not a palliative simply; it cures by removing the cause of female disease. Dr. Hartman has probably cured more women of female ailments than any other living physician. He makes these cures simply by using and recommending Peruna. Mrs. E. L. Brown, 329 Elliott street, Memphis. Tenn., writes:

Health will come with all its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a ques- , tion of right-living, with all the term implies, but the efforts which strengthen the system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsanitary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy ' which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. ’ *' With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a constipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity bf the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliablp druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. , r - The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in tho. combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative Is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects. W’e do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free frgm pvpry objectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects it 18 always necessary to buy the genuine and the full name of the Co. —California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every Package. • ’ 2 | • 'I San Francisco, CaL t Louisville.

< Mrs. Anna B. Fleharty. V “I suffered for several years with headache brought on by nervous prostration. I was also afflicted with insomnia. I would get up in the morning more weary than when I retired and I used to dread the approach of night. Peruna came, into my home as a welcome giiest, andj within three short months I was like another woman. I have now enjoyed perfect health for over a year, and those who have suffered as I did will know how happy I am.” —Mrs. E. L. Brown. Mrs. Esther M. Milner, De Graff, Ohio, writes: "I was a terrible sufferer from female weakness and had the headache continuously. I was not able to do my housework for myself and husband. I wrote you and described my condition as near as possible. You recommended Peruna. I took four bottles and was completely cured. I think Peruna a wonderful medicine.”—'Mrs. Esther M. Milner. Congressman Thad. M. Mahon, of Chambersburg, Pa., writes: *•/ take pleasure in commending your Peruna as a substantial tonic and a good catarrh remedy.”—T. M. Mahon.
