Chicago, Sept.—The Perun* Drag Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of a widely known proprietary medicine, has brought suit in the Superior Court of the city of Chicago against the Curtis Publishing Company of Philadelphia . alleging that It has been damaged to the extent of $250,000 by a recent article- in the Ladles’ Home Journal. The suit is based on a statement recently made in that journal that a testimonial as to the merit of the remedy manufactured by the plaintiff, alleged to have been given by Congressman George H. White of South Carolina was fraudulent, denial from Mr. White that he ever gave such a testimonial also being printed. The Peruna Company declares that Congressman White did give the testimonial in good faith, that it has two original letters from Mr. White. It declares that Mr. White was led to repudiate the testimonial through a misunderstanding. , This is the second large damage suit that has been filed against the Curtis Publishing Company since it inaugurated its attacks on “patent medicines.”

World’s Stock of Gold.

The amount of gold in Europe when America was discovered is believed not to have exceeded $225,000,000. In the 404 years until 1896 the world’s production is estimated at $9,000,000,000—half of which was added to the money supply. Including the estimate for 1905, in the ten years beginning with 1896, nearly $3,000,000,000 in gold Das been mined —almost a third as. much as during the preceding 404 years. This despite the fact that the Boer war tor two years closed the Transvaal mines. The production In 1903 was $325,000,000; in 1904, $350,000,000 and for 1905 it is estimated at $400,000,000. The world’s stock of money gold in 1897 was approximately four and a quarter billions. By the end of the present year it is estimated that it will be almost six billions—an increase of nearly 50 per cent in nine years.

“Are you going to take that little trip with me I spoke about bast week?” “I haven’t thought about it.” "Well, think of it this week, will you?” “Yes, if I think about It, I’ll think about It.” "By the way, I saw you on the street the other day and you never noticed me.” “I never noticed you.”—Puck.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP

Officials of the State Department are looking at the Cuban situation with feelings akin to dread. Notwithstanding the belief, so hard to uproot from the minds of some people, that the administration would be glad of a valid excuse to pave the way to bring Cuba under the flag, it is fear rather than hope that besets the officials of state. Cuba until the last election period .was moving onward in an orderly, prosperous course, and there was genuine satisfaction in American administration circles over the apparent soundness of the fruit of the tree of independence. The passions of the people, so easily aroused in oth4| Latin-American republics, seemed in Cuba to be checked by an unexpected conservatism and a sincere desire to have the world know that the mixed races occupying the island were worthy of the gift of freedom. Recent events, however, have shown that the old leaven of unrest and turmoil is still present. The election riots at Cienfuegos have a deep significance, it is spared. They were not ordinary rows to pass and leave no after-effects when the day of the voting was done. Direct charges of undue and illegal government acts for the purpose of upholding its will are made, and the opposition party is strong enough, if it takes the revolutionary bit in its teeth, throw the island back into the scenes of Civil War which antedated the Spanish-American conflict

Brazilians are like other people in preferring to buy what is fashionable. A special agent of the Department of Commerce and Labor who has been making an inquiry into the cause of the comparatively small trade of the United States with Brazil reports that most of the population, “except the very few who have traveled in the United States, have exalted ideas as to the greatness of England, France and Germany, and the ‘fashionableness’ of using commodities produced in those countries.” They do not yet know In South America that England, France and Germany buy many things from the United States, and that American shoes, for Instance, are becoming so popular on the other side that the European manufacturers are copying American styles, xyhen they learn this, through the enterprise of the American manufacturer, the people of Brazil will begin to regard American goods with as much favor as they regard those which are made in Europe.

The annual report of the United States Commissioner of Education has a chapter bearing upon the libraries of the country In 1903. Only those containing one thousand or more volumes are mentioned. The North Atlantic States contain nearly one-half the libraries enumerated. New York stands first, with 924; Massachusetts next, with 624, and Pennsylvania follows with 491. Thirty per cent of the libraries and 40 per cent of the number of volumes computed for the nation at large are contained in these States. Taking the country as a whole, there is one library, containing at least one thousand volumes, for every eleven thousand six hundred and thirty-two inhabitants.

The growth of the rural free delivery system continues unabated. On July 1 there were 32,058 routes in operation, or 7,492 more than at a corresponding period last year. To enable better handling of the mall tho postoffice department Is arranging for the numbering of all rural letter boxes entitled to service, and authorizing carriers to deliver mall matter addressed to boxes by number alone, the same as is now permitted in the case of postoffice boxes. The boxes will be numbered in order, beginning with the first box reached by the carrier after leaving the postofflee, and new boxes erected afterward will be assigned the next number In use on the particular route.

It is expected that the Postoffice Department will take action to exclude many of the post cards from the mails on account of their Improper character. Some of them that come from foreign countries are decidedly and clearly Immoral. The souvenir post card fad has reached astonishing dimensions and the malls are flooded with them. For the most part they are attractive and artistic. The United States Postofflee Department has ruled that any card with writing on the address side must have • two cent stamp. Nearly every pen manufacturer in America and Europe sent pens to Portsmouth, with the request that they be used In signing the RussoJapanese treaty, but the "old gray goose” got the honor, after all.

PROPER CARE OF BOOKS

Never drop a book on the floor. Never turn leaves with the thumb. Never lean or rest upon an open book. Always keep your place with a thin bookmark. Never touch a book with damp os soiled bands. Always turn leaves from tbs top with the middle or forefinger

Increasing Value of Diamonds.

In 1750 diamonds were sold in Eu- 4 rope at S4O a karat. In 1770, when Brazilian stones were poured on the market, first quality diamonds sold as low as $5 a karat, and in 1790 they had increased to S3O, and remained about this figure until 1848, when from sls to S2O a karat was asked. From 1860 on the price of diamonds advanced, and, with, the world’s diamond mines practically in the control of one company during the last ten years, the price has steadily increased until the present time, when first water diamonds are quoted at $l4O a karat or more.

Advancing the Farmers' Interests.

Traveling agents and salesmen are now sent from the home offices of the Chicago packers into all South American and Asiatic countries. They are going into every land, no matter what language may be spoken or what money be used. They will exchange their goods for cowries or elephant tusks—anything to sell the product and get something in return convertible into money. It may seem odd to some folks, but traveling men, carrying cases with samples of American meat products, can be seen in the desert of Sahara, the sands of Zanzibar or in Brazil, “where the nuts come from.” Great is the enterprise of the Yankee merchant. The greater the market, the greater the price and stability of the price of the product and all that goes to make it in its various stages.

The Attendant’s Retort.

During last summer there arrived at a well-known historical castle a party of tourists, among whom w’as one whose sole object seemed to be to make fun of every one and a fool of himself. “I suppose this is the chamber where the groans are heard?” he remarked, as they entered a dark, uninviting room. “No, sir,” replied the attendant, “there are no groans heard In this chamber, but if you will step to the window I can show you where the groaning is done.” “What place is that then?” inquired the tourist, who, after going to the window, was shown a little isolated building far below. “That’s where you paid for admission, sir,” replied the attendant.

SCREAMED AT NIGHT.

Baby Scratched Until Face Was Haw and Bleeding—Eczema Cured by Cuticura. “For over two years my little baby girl suffered with a raw, itching and painful eczema on her head and face, the pain causing her to scream day and night, and my wife could get no rest We tried several doctors, but without success. Unless we kept her hands tied she would scratch until her face was like raw beef. One cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment completely cured her, healing her face without mark or blemish. (Signed) W. J. Morgan. Orchard Town, New Lambton, New South Wales, Australia.”

For Removing a Wrinkle.

Just think of paying SI,OOO for having one wrinkle removed. That’s what a well-known New York society leader has paid, and without a doubt there are many others who w’ould be willing to pay just such an exorbitant price if they had it for the same purpose. Authorities along these lines are demanding large sums for beautifying women’s faces. It is not an easy task and means much suffering for the woman. The injection of paraffin is one of the well-known remedies for this shortcoming. The process Is painful, the paraffin being injected underneath the skin by a hypodermic needle and allowed to remain there, harden and become a part of the membrane tissue, which it does in time. It is a good remedy. The wrinkle Is sure to disappear, and there are more women than one would surmise who are undergoing such a treatment. Softie of the society leaders who have gone v»est, for a rest, as they say, have in reality secluded themselves for a time with doctors of beauty and upon making their reappearance in society are indeed creatures of beauty. Their complexions are beautified, white and pink, without a blemish, and they have regained their good humor and look like young matrons just entering their second year of married life, Instead of contemplating the celebration of their twentyfifth.

"GOLD, GOLD.”

"Good," He Bays, "but Comfort Better." “Food that fits is better than a gold mine,” says a grateful man. “Before I commenced to use GrapeNuts food no man on earth ever had a worse Infliction from catarrh of the stomach than I had for years. “I could eat nothing but the very lightest food, and even that gave me great distress. “I went through tho catalogue of prepared foods, but found them all (except Grape-Nuts) more or less Indigestible, generating gas in the stomach (which In turn produced headache and various other pains and aches) and otherwise unavailable for my use.

"Grape-Nuts food I hare found easily digested and assimilated, and It has renewed my health and vigor and made me a well man again. The catarrh of the stomach has disappeared entirely with all Its attendant ills, thanks to Grape-Nuts, which now Is my almost sole food. I want no other.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Ten days’ trial tells the story. Thera’s a reason.

WORKINGWOMEN Their Hard Struggle Made Easier—lnteresting State* ments by a Young Lady in Boston and One in Nashville, Tenn.

ah women work ; some in their ! homes, some In church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, ovarian troubles, ulceration, falling and displacements of the womb, leucorrhoea, or perhaps irregularity or suppression of ’‘monthly periods,’’ causing backache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. Women who stand on their feet all day are more susceptible to these troubles than others. They especially require an invigorating, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman •truggling to earn a livelihood or perform her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female organism.
