Less of Kin and More of Kind.

A Scot who served an Englishman as guide and friend on a fishing trip had what the London Daily' Mall calls “the national weakness” for claiming relationship with all the Influential families In that part of Scotland. One day the Englishman met him on the road driving a‘pig, and saw a little fun. , "Well, Donald,” said he, “Is that one of your grand relations?” “Oh, no,” said Donald, quietly. “This Is just an acquaintance—like yersel’.”

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

. Dun’s weekly review of '*61110300. Chicago trade says: The re- ■ turn of more seasonable weather conditions and lessened difficulty in the movement of commodities were favorable factors. Reports show gain in the distribution of goods and larger receipts of farm products, while the manufacturing industries advanced in activity. New business improved in the volume of finished iron and prices were strengthened, although commitments were mainly confined to present requirements. Notwithstanding the high average cost the final consumption of necessities has continued strong and buying was heavier in leading retail lines. Jobbing sales of spring wares reached a satisfactory aggregate, with frequent requests for early shipment to western points. Large transactions were closed in the dry goods, millinery, clothing and footwear divisions, and dealings were increased in suits and clonks, men's furnishings and hats and caps. Easier deliveries placed groceries and canned goods in better position and sales widened. Mercantile collections generally presented little complaint. “The demand for Iron and steel has shown more urgency and covered a wider variety of needs, with rails, pig.Jron, structural and wire materials in best request. Receipts of lumber ran 20 per cent short of the volume a year ago. Grain shipments were 2,372,457 bush els, 1G per cent under those of a year ago. With the recent fall in values improvement was looked for in the spot demand, but actual sales failed to develop importance, and receipts of nil breadstuffs, except corn, were heavier. Prices declined steadily until Wednesday, when recovery set in, but, compared with the closings a week ago, quotations have declined in wheat 1 cent, in com % cent and iu oats % cent. Receipts of live stock were 253,251 head, as compared with 297,436 head a year ago. showing the first notable decrease this season. ~ ! R. G. Dun & Co.’s nBW I Ola. Weekly Review of Trade -——— says: More ' seasonable weather has brought increased activity in business, normal conditions existing for the first time this year at many points and there is evidence of an effort to. recover lost ground, and prepare for a large spring trade. Collections also arc improving, and structuraroperatior, revive with the higher temperature, stimulating the markets for building materials and increasing transfers. There has been great damage from floods, although the severe winter has caused unusual preparation for troubles of this nature. Manufacturing returns are favorable ns to steel and footwear but textile mills are not active, and r; further curtailment of cotton spinning is probable. Settlement of several important labor controversies has been accompanied by new strikes, and soft coa? miners have not yet reached an agreement with the operators. The percentage of idle machinery steadily, decreases, and conditions are not only much better than seemed posse ble when the year opened, but some reports state that the outlook is brighter than at any time since last spring. The only disturbing element pertains to fuel. Movement of coal is retarded by inadequate transporting facilities.

THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME Are Never Without Peruna in the House for Catarrhal Diseases. - ilßWtril WiW a MR.AND MRS. J. O. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO.

U NDER date of January 10, 1897, Dr. Hartman received the follow)ng letter: "My wife had been suffering from a (Complication of diseases for the past 25 years. “Her case had baffled the skill of some Of the most noted physicians. One Of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years’ standing. “She also was passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman—change of life. In June, 1895, I wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, Which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these wonderful remedies. “About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of 25 years’ standing. At times I was almost past going. I commenced to Use Peruna according to your instructions and continued its use for about a year', and it has completely cured me. “ Your remedies do all that you claim for them, and even more. Catarrh cannot exist where Peruna is taken according to directions. Success to you and your remedies. ” John O. Atkinson.

One on John Kernell.

The late John'Kernell, the Irish comedian, liked iri' his prime to go back to Ireland, whence he would often bring material, gathered in alehouses and on jHre high roads, that afterward served him well in dialogue upon the stage. Kernell once said at a little supper party in Boston that he had met on a lummer day in Galway an Irishman driving a horse so thin that it staggered as it walked. “Why don’t you put more flesh on that nag?’’ Kernell exclaimed. Indignantly. “More, is it?” the Irishman answered. "Why, by the powers, don’t you see that the poor creature can hardly carry what little there is on him now?” —New York Tribune.

Eight Years of Torture.

No suffering more keen than kidney suffering. Sick kidneys make bad blood; cause weak, stiff and aching backs ; cause blind, sick and dizzy headaches, lack of appetite and loss of •sleep; keep you all tired out and spoil digestion. To have perfect health, you must cure the kidneys. Read how

one man was cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills after eight years of torture: Henry Soul©, of Pultney St., Hammondsport. N. Y., says: “For eight years I suffered constant agony from kidney complaint. I endured the worst torture from gravel and the kidney secretions were excessive and contained sediment like brick dust. I had to get out of bed from ten to twenty times a night and the loss of sleep wore me out. Indigestion came on and the distress after eating was terrible. Doan’s Kidney Pills effected a complete and lasting cure, and after the symptoms of kidney trouble were gone my stomach began to work as It should. • This lasting cure, especially in a person of my age. proves the great value of Doan's Kidney Pills more convincingly than could any words of mine.” Doan's Kidney Pills sold by all druggists; price 50 cents per box, or mailed on receipt of price by Foster-Milbum Co.,•Buffalo, N. Y. Write for free trial.

In a letter dater January 1, 1900, Mr. Atkinson says, after five years' experience with Penina: “/ will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna. In my rounds as a traveling man I am a walking advertisement for Peruna and have induced many people during the past year to use Peruna with the most satisfactory results. lam still cured of catarrh. * ’ John O. Atkinson, Box 272. Independence, Mo. When old age comes on, catarrhal diseases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that meets these cases exactly. Such cases cannot be treated locally; nothing but an effective systemic remedy could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna, is. If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O.

A Scholar’s Advice.

Th© German historian, Professor Theodor Mommsen, was noted for the facility with which he acquired languages. The tongues of modern Europe as well as the classics were to him not studies, but the familiar tools of bis deadly work. An American reporter who was interviewing him a few years ago asked to have a certain reference put into English, as he did not read German wall. “Not i4ad German Well? And you a journalist?” exclaimed the .savant. “I do not see how it is possible. Young man,‘'German Is one of th© four necessities for a student The other three are English, French and Italian. Without them you can never know the tendency of modern thought If you have them not, d® not rest until you have learned them all.” • ( I cannot praise Piso’s Cure enough for the wonders it has worked in curing me. —R.
