CUBAN MINISTER S U. S. Recommends Pe-ru-na —-~7_.^'~'r*~~> ~ ill : - ;; - -*“ :;x jjSenor Quesada. Cuban Minister to the United States. Senor Quesada, Cuban Minister to the United States, Is an orator born. In an article in The Outlook for July, 1809, by George Kennan, who heard Quesada speak at the Esteban Theater, Matanzns, Cuba, he said: “I have seen many audiences under the spell of eloquent speech and in the grip of strong emotional excitement; but I have rarely witnessed such a scene as at the close of Quesada’* eulogy upon the dead patriot, Marti.” In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company, written from Washington, D. C., Senor Quesada says:

li Peruna / can recommend as a very good medicine. It is an excellent strengthening tonic, and it is also an efficacious cure for the almost universal complaint of catarrh.”—Gonzalo De Quesada.

Congressmnn J. H. Bankhead, of Alabama, one of the most influential members of the House of Representatives, in a letter written from Washington, D. C., gives his endorsement to the great catarrh remedy, Peruna, in the following words: “Your Peruna Is one of the best medicines I ever tried, and no family should be without your remarkable remedy. As a tonic and catarrh cure 1 know of nothing better.”—J. H. Bankhead.

The Toyland of the World.

A Tokio correspondent of an American weekly has much of interest to say of Japanese toys. “Japan is the original toyland. I really think that Santa Claus must have a branch establishment in Tokio. There are mechanical toys that go about us if they were alive—tin turtles walking around on the earthen floor, mice scampering under counters and around on the shelves, huge gorgeously-colored paper butterflies aud dragon-flies buzzing around la the air. There are no toycarriages in Japan, because in Japan there are no real carriages. Hut there are toy jinrikishas, which arc little two-wheeled carts pulled by little brown men Under great big mushroomshaped hats instead of by horses. And there are toy cages, which are the oddest kind of grown-up cradles, that two men carry, suspended from long bamboo poles, upon their shoulders, and In which grown-up folks have to sit, curled up Turk-fashion, until their fe.et go to sleep and they are forced to demand the privilege of getting down and walkjng. These are the ‘carriages' of Japan and, as toys, would probably puzzle the average little boy or girl at home.”

THE WEEKLY HISTORIAN

One Hundred Years Ago. Over 100 persons lost their live* by the great flood of the river Tiber. The United States, frigate Essex,' Commodore Barron, arrived at Triest. German journals announced the march of 150,000 Prussians to the frontiers of Europe. Algerian pirates captured a Portuguese frigate with 100 meu, carrying them all into slavery. In Asia a Spanish ship with valuable cargo and $280,000 in gold was captured by a British privateer aud sent to Falmouth. Seventy-five Years Ago. Several towns were destroyed by an earthquake in South America. Navigation in the Black Sea was opened to American vessels. The standing army of the United States numbered but 6,000 men. The bill for a national road from Buffalo to New Orleans was rejected in the house by 88 to 105. In New England the right of suffrage was granted to every male inhabitant of 21 years, except paupers and persons excused from paying taxes at their own request. fifty Years Ago. A free state convention drew up the Topeka constitution. A pro-slavery legislature was organized in Kansas. A cloud passed over New York City which caused a darkness equal to night. A new running record for a mile was set by Henry Perritt on the Metairie course at New Orleans in 1:42. A mob in Platte County, Missouri, ordered that no person belonging to the Northern Methodist Church should preach in that county under penalty of tar and feathers or hemp rope. forty Years Ago. President Lincoln was shot by Wilkes Booth in Ford's Theater, Washington, D. C. Secretary Sew r ard was attacked at home and wounded. President Lincoln the next day died from the wound inflicted by Booth. Andrew Johnson was sworn iu as President. A convention was reached between General Shermau and General Johnson (Confederate) for the surrender of the latter's army, but was disavowed later by the government. Investigation in Washington by military and civil authorities fixed the identity of the murderer of President Lincoln as J. Wilkes Booth. Thirty Years Ago. Two aeronauts were suffocated aud a third nearly perished in an ascent of 26,000 feet in Paris by balloon. A plan of putting iron gunboats in the Itliiue to offset a similar proposed plan by France was announced by Germany. Emperor William of Germany signed the hill withdrawing the rights enjoyed by the Catholic church. A propapal newspaper iu Berlin was suppressed.

The body of Blanche Larnont was found in the belfry of the Emanuel Baptist Church in San Francisco, in the library of which the body of Minnie Williams had been found on the previous day.

Palmer and friends in Chicago organized the Honest MoneyLeague, to oppose tlie free silver movement of Governor Altgeld, Nicaragua’s attempt to evade the payment of debts to England nearly involved the United States in a contest with Britain.

ANOTHER RECORD IN LANDHUNTING.

This Spring;’* Exodus toCanads Greatar than Ever. It was thought in 1903, when over fifty thousand people went from theUnited States to Canada, that the limit of the yearly emigration to the wheat zone of the Continent had been reached. But when in 1894 about as large a number of American citizens signified their intention of becoming settlers on Canadian lands, the general public were prepared for the announcement of large numbers In 1905. No surprise therefore will be caused when it is made known that the predictions of fully fifty thousand in 1905 are warranted In the fact that the Spring movement Canadaward is greater than it has ever been. The special trains from Omaha, Chicago, St. Paul, Detroit and other gateways have been crowded. Many have gone to join friends and relatives who have prepared homes for them, and others have gone relying upon their own resources, satisfied that what others have done can also be done by them. This year much new territory has been opened up by the railroads, which are extending their main lines and throwing out branches in their march across the best grain and grazing lands on the continent This new territory has attractions for those desiring to homestead on the one hundred and sixty acres granted each settler by the Canadian Government. Many also take advantage of the opportunity to purchase land 3 at the low figures atwhich they are now being offered. It does not require much thought to convince one that if lowa, Illinois, Minnesota and other lands, with a value of from fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars an acre, will give a good living by producing ten to thirteen bushels of wheat to the acre and thirty to fifty bushels of corn to the acre, the iands of Western Canada at seven to ten dollars an acre, producing from twenty to thirty bushels of a superior wheat to the acre, should produce a competence to the ordinary farmer In a very few years. These are the facts as they confront the reader. There are millions of acres of such land in Western Canada in addition to the other millions that are considered to be portions of the biggest and best ranges that ever invited the cattle and horse producer of the North American continent. What is particularly evident in \\ estern Canada is the fact that the wheat lands, adjoining the grazing lands, make farming particularly agreeable and profitable. The agents of the Canadian Government, who are always willing to give information and advice to intending settlers, say that the acreage put under crop this season is greatly in excess of last season.

Expensive.

The Western man who had raised fifteen bouncing boys received a cordial welcome when he called at the white house. “Ah,” said the president, shaking hands, “I must congratulate you. What a blessing it must be to raise such a family of boys!” “Well,” replied the Westerner, slowly, “it’s what I call an expensive blessing. Wasn't for these boys thar’d be a roof on our house to-day.” “But my dear sir, I do not understand. What has become of the roof?” “Why, by gum, I used up all the shingles spanking the boys.”

CURE YOUR KIDNEYS.

When the Back Aches and Bladder Troubles Set In, Get at the Cause. Don’t make the mistake of believing backache and bladder ills to be local ailments. Get at the cause and cure

years ago that I used Doan’s Kidney Pills for an attack of kidney trouble that was mostly backache, and they fixed me up fine. There is no -mistake about that, and if I should ever be troubled again I would get them first thing, as I know what they are.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Hie Idea of Gems.

In a schoolroom the first primary grade was listening to the teacher reading a description of Columbus’ first voyage to America. The history was written in words of one syllable. The teacher reads: “Queen Isabella sold her gems to help Columbus.” “Now, children,” she said, “who can tell me what gems are?” Instantly Robert sprang to bis feet, his hands waving frantically and his eyes flashing. “Well, Robert.” she said. “Biscuits’." yelled Robert.—Boston Herald.

Cannot Reduce a Rate.

It is stated in Washington that under the Townsend rate bill, if a rate is fixed by the Commission it cannot be lowered by a railroad. Should an emergency arise calling for a decreased rute, the railroads or shippers would have to appeal again to the Commission, there being no latitude allowed, whatever the circumstances. Hitherto a maximum rate has'been tbe rule, but no such concession is made under the proposed legislation. There are 30.000 dry goods stores in the United States.

PAINFUL PERIODS Suggestions How to Find Relief from Such Suffering.

Whilo no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women Bhould suffer so severely. Menstruation is a severe strain on a woman’s vitality. If it is painful or irregular something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organism. More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound overcomes painful and irregular menstruation. It provides a safe and sure way of escape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so convincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes of 540 N. Davision Street, Buffalo, N. Y. f writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ Your medicine is Indeed an ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down pains. I consulted two different physicians but failed to get any relief. A friend from the East advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I did so, and no longer suffer as I did before. My periods are natural: every ache and pain is gone, and my general health is much improved. I advise all women who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound." Mrs. Tlllie Hart, of Larimore, N. D., writes; Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “I might have have been spared many months of suffering and pain had I only known of the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
