Henry Dlrttln.the inventor and maker of all the hand instruments for the Henry Distin Manufacturing Co., at Williamsport, Pa., is probably the most active old man in Philadelphia today. He and his wife recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, at their home, on South Ninth street. Distin comes from one of the most famous musical families of the old world, his fattier and grandfather before him, as well as himcelf, having played at most all tho royal courts of England and the continent. 1441 South Ninth Street, Philadelphia, Pa., May 6, 1899. Dr. S. B. Hartman : Dear Sir I write to inform you that I had a bad attack of la grippe last De cember which lasted more than three months, and which left me with catarrh, and several of my friends advised me to try your wonderful medicine, Peruna, I began with a bottle the first week In March and It certainly did me a great deal of good. I was so well satisfied that I purchased another bottle and fol lowed your directions, which you furnish with every bottle, and I am glad to say that It has cured me. I shall certainly recommend the Peruna to all my friends, Yours, very truly, Henry Distin. la grippe Peruna should be taken « \ t . hours during tho day—adults i tablespoonful, children a teaspoonful Rut it is tho aftor-olTocts of la grippt which are generally tho most sorlou. unless Peruna Is taken. In all case “Whore Peruna is taken ns aboyo durtnj the acute stage the rocovery is promp and complete; but where tho ordinal-; treatment is followed tho patient wii complain for weeks and monthsof weak ness,slight headache, want of appotlti and many other symptoms of lowvi tality. Such peoplo should begin n once the uso of Peruna—a tablespoonfi: before each meal, gradually inoroasin the dose to two tablespoonfuls. Mrs. Theophlle Sclimltt, wife of th Ex-Secretary of the German oonsul&U writes the following letter to Dr. Hart man In regard to Peruna ; 8417 Wabash, Avr., Chicago, III., The Peruna Medicine Co.,Columbus,O.: Gentlemen— 1 “ I suffered this winter with a severe attack of la grippe,anc having repeat edly heard of thevaluoof Pe- cases, I thought I would try it. 1 used It faith fully, and began to feel a change for tho better the second day, and in tho course of a week 1 was v o r y much improved. After using three bottles I not only found tho la grippe had disappeared, but my general health was much hotter. I am satisfied that Peruna is a wonder ful family remedy, and gladly endorso it.” Yours, Mrs.Theophlle Schmitt. La grippe is epidemic catarrh. Porn- nacurescatarrh wherever located.

Lowry, Who is About to Establish a Ilrick Plant Here, A colored man in Alabama, one hot day in July, while he was at work in a cotton field, saddenly stopped, looked toward the skies and said: “O Lawd, do crop am so grassy, do work am bo bard, and de sun am so hot, dat I b’lieve dis darkey am oalled to preach.” A Frightful Blunder Will often cause a horrible Burn, Scald, Cut or Bruise.

This disease always results from a cold or an attack of the grip and may be prevented by the timely uso of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. That remedy was extensively used during the epidemics of La Grippe of the past few year?, and not a single case has ever been reported that did not recover or that resulted in pneumonia, which shows it to be a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has gained a world wide reputation for its cures of colds and giip. For sale by E. Bradford. Honesty is tho best policy, but some people believe in moderation in all things. To Be Prepared for War Is the surest way for this nation to maintain peace. That is the opinion of the wisest statesmen. It is equally true that to be prepared for spring is the best way to avoid the peculiar dangers of the season. This is a lesson multitudes are learning, and at this time, when the blood is sure to be loaded with impurities and to be weak and sluggish, the millions begin to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla,which puri fies, enriches and vitalizes the blood, expels all disease germs, creates a good appetite, gives strength and en ergy and puts the whole system in a healthy condition, preventing pneu monia, fevers, and other dangerous diseases which are liable to attack a weakened system.

Pcannt Plants. “Few persons are perhaps aware that a thing of beauty is n common peanut plant growing singly in a six or eight Inch pot and grown indoors during the colder months,” says an up to date fior- lst in tlic Washington Star. “Kept In a warm room or by the kitchen stove, a peanut kernel planted In a pot of loose, mellow loam, .kept only moderately moist, will soon germi nate and grow up Into a beautiful plant. It Is In a similar way that the peanut' planters test tlieir seeds every year, beginning even early In the win ter, and the facility with which the seeds will grow In tills way lias sug gested to many southern llower lovers the possibility of making the useful peanut an ornamental plant for the parlor or sitting room window. “As the plant Increases In size aud extends Its branches over the sides of the pot In a pendent manner, there are few plants of more intrinsic beauty. The curious habit of the compound leaves of closing together, like the leaves of a book, on the approach of night or when a shower begins to fall on them Is one of the most Interesting habits of plant life. “Later on—for the peanut Is no ephemeral wonder, enduring for a day or two only—the appearance of the tiny yellow flowers and putting forth of the peduncles on which the nuts grow lm- pnrt to this floral rarity a striking and unique charm all Its own. There is nothing else like It,and florists through out the country might well add the pea nut plant to their list of novel and rare things.” SoNpcnnlon Brldgci. There Is no doubt that the first Idea of a suspension bridge was suggested to primitive man by tho Interlacing of tree branches and parasitical plants across rivers. Probably monkeys used them before men did. In very moun tainous countries, such ns Tibet and Peru, they have apparently been used' since the dawn of history, possibly earlier. “This." said the ehromo peddler, “represents an oriental dance.” “Wlirit does ‘oriental’ moan?” asked the head of the house. “Belonging in the east.” “You git out!

Its engine seems to have some of the instincts of a spirited, high-bred horse. No tasks fatigue, no dangers appal it. The rond may be long, and dangerous in places, the load norm mis, but it recks not of these. Responsive only to the will and touch of its master, it plunges on through rain and shine, thrpugh darkness and storm, across mountain and plain and lake and river, on it goes, flinging towns and cities, miles and leagues, ounties and states behind it. Impa tient of delay, it chafes and puffs reck lessly even when stopped to replenish its food and water, wliioh it eats ami drinks as it (lies. On, on, oil it rushes, like guilt flying from fate, but never quite escaping, this devouring, insa tiable mile-eater, and eats up its last of thousands of miles as hungrily as its first. And what has been accomplished? Hundreds of tons of metal and wood and coal and water, of hulnan beings and their chattels, have been picked up on one side of a vast continent and set down upon the other, quickly, safe ly, comfortably, pleasantly to all con cerned. Strenuous! Why, it is the very essence and embodiment of stren- uousness! Talk about miracles; sup pose one of those old long-bearded Israelites who witnessed the most fa mous miracles of old could be waked up and permitted to witness what has been so feebly and ineffectually de scribed above, and were then asked for his opinion of the relative merits of the two performances, the one in his day and the other in ours, wlmt do you think his answer would be? Waiving the question of honesty and candor, there would probably be a fierce strug gle between his “county pride” and his commercial instincts, witli a result something like this: “Vel, dot Daniel mitder lions den vas goot; dose chil dren mitde fiery furnkce vas fine, very fine; and Samdson, he vas a bully boy, he vas a whole team! but vliat you take for dees?” We move daily through and by mir acles far more potential in results and Hoc less obscure and mysterious, to the untutored mind, in their method of performance than were the wonders of old, yet by their very frequency and commonness—chief element for won der—they cease to be wonderful. What a tremendous jolt even one of our modern utilities could have given to the current of history, sacred and pro fane. Suppose, for instance, that Joseph, after his dalliance with Poti- pliar’s wife, Imd been able to call up his daddy at long distance ’phone and tell the old man what a predicament he was in. After the custom of fathers in these days—-and in those, too, doubt less—the old gentleman would have weighted his saddle-bags with a good suppiy of simoleons and posted off down to Egypt on his asses, sought out the chief-of-poliee and settled the mat ter on the best terms obtainable. Then he would have yanked Joey off up the country and put him to cow-punching again, after giving him a few admon itory kicks with his No. 18’s, Scotch bottoms. Then where would have run your current of history? Moses and his bullrushes, -100 years of bondage, Pharaoh and his plagues, and no tell ing how many more interesting and important events sponged oft’ the page at a strokel For my part, I’m glad they didn’t have telephones in those days; they might have lost the art, like they did their flourishing industry of mummy-making, and we never could have found it again. For, ns you have doubtless observed, lost arts are like lost virtues, stay lost. It seems easier to discover new ones than to re cover the old. Wm. Bradford. $100 Reward, $100.
