“I takogreat ploasure In recommending
your valuable Rerun* as a catarrh
remedy.
“I have been suffering for the past
three years with catarrh,’and had used
almost everything In the market until
1 read of your wonderful Peruna rein*
■ody. After using two bottles of Peru*
na I can cheerfully recommend it to
•ny one having the same dlsoasc.
“I was almost compelled to give up
my business, until I used your remedy,
Mid I have never boon bothered with
Aaarrh since.”

"Virginia, writes: “1 can cheerfully

and can unhesitatingly reeommond
your romedy to my friends as an Invig*

Heroes and Cowards.
Courage is an uncertain quantity;
it varies with circumstances. A man
who fancies that he is afraid of
nothing ventures on the slippery
pavement in winter and suddenly
discovers that he is very much
afraid of falling and hurting him
self.
It is on record that a man who
was os bo'.d as could be in the morn
ing could never be relied upon for
courage after dinner.
Some French soldiers during the
war of 1870 gallnntly assaulted an
almost impregnable position, al
though death seemed certain. Three
years later two of those gallant fel
lows were in a theater when an
alarm of fire was given, and they
displayed extreme cowardice, push
ing over women and children in
their frantic efforts to escape.
I’he smail boy was ready to start
on a long promised week’s visit to
his grandfather’s in the country.
There was an exasperating delay in
the appearance of the carriage to
take them to the station. The
young man worked off his impa
t-ience in various annoying ways for
half an hour. Then suddenly he
was seen to kneel beside a chair in
the comer and bury his face in his
hands. After a few minutes his
mother said:
“Well, Kenneth, what are you do
ing?”
“Just getting my prayers said up
for while I’m going to bo out at
grandpa’s. Thoro’s nothing to do
nore, and I spoct to be pretty busy
whilo I’m there.”

Startling Instance of Longevity.
One of the most curious instances
of longevity is found in Miss Louisa
Courtenay’s “Notes of an Octoge
narian.” A witness in a will case
in which Betlenden-Ker, the great
English conveyancer, was engaged
was asked if lie had any brothers
or sisters. He replied that he had
■one brother who died loO years ago.
The court expressed incredulity,
and documentary evidence was pro
duced in support of the statement.
This showed that the witness’
■father, who married first at the age
■of nineteen, had a son who died in
infancy. The lather married again
at the age of seventy-five and had
a son who lived to appear in the.
witness box at the age of ninety-
four and made the above startling
:»tatement.
Rubinstein'* Free Seat.
A pianist who was pre-eminently
successful in his day was Rubin
stein, who traveled nearly the whole
world over delighting people with
his genius. He was very much an
noyed by requests for complimen
tary tickets, but most of the time
he maintained his composure, even
though justly irritated. It is told
of him that just before one of hit
recitals in London he was accosted
by au old lady in the entrance hall
and thus addressed:
“Oh, Mr, Rubinstein, I am so glad
to see you! 1 have tried in vain to
purchase a ticket. Have you a seat
you could let me have ?”
“Madam,” said the great pianist,
“there is but one seat at my dis
posal, and that you are welcome to
If you think fit to tako it.”
“Oh, yes, and a thousand thanks 1
Where is it?” was the excited reply.

The Story of a Brass Founder’s T;*an«* |
formation of Gambrinus.
A story is told of a brass founder !
ivho was one day visited bv a friend j
acting as agent for on«* of the cities
■if Central America. The agent |
titled wlmt it would cost m cast a |
statue of Christopher Columbus for ;
the public square of the city. The |
amount was far iu excess of the
sum which the man had at his dis
posal. lie was about leaving in de
spair of being able to secure the
statue when, the brass founder said:
“Come back in the junk yard and
let us see what can be found there.”
He went back, and the brass
founder showed him a colossal
statue of Gambrinus, recently re
moved from the front of a large
brewing establishment. Under his
feet rested a beer keg, in his hand
was a large and overflowing schoon
er, his beard was long and shaggy,
and about his brow was wreathed
a garland of barley and hops.
“Why, this will never do," said
the commission merchant. “I want
a statue of Columbus.”
“Wait until 1 have touched this
one up. Come back in about a week
and see what you think of it. If it
suits you, you can have it for the
amount you have at your disposal.”
As soon as the visitor had gone
the brass founder set two men at
work on the figure of Gambrinus.
They removed the beer keg from
under liis right foot and placed
there an anchor and a coil of rope,
from his hand they removed the
goblet and Substituted a globe, with
the continents traced on it; from
Lis brow they took the wreath of
barley and hops and substituted a
wreath of laurel and then proeefrded
to trim up his whiskers. The finish
ing touch consisted in putting at
the base of the statue “Oistoforo
Colombo.”
When the commission merchant
came lie was delighted with the fig
ure and. purchasing it, shipped it to
the Central American ■'itv, where
it adorns the public square and ie
looked upon with veneration byths
citizens of that town.—New Tori

Pradisposition to Disease.
Children are seldom born diseased.
They may be born with a tendency
to disease because one or both par
ents are suffering from it. As we
know, certain conditions favor the
development of certain diseases.
Place a child in conditions that have
produced disease in the parents, and
the tendency will be to produce the
same disease in the child. So we
sometimes find whole families dio
of consumption or diphtheria or
something else, not because the dis
ease was inherited or “caught,” but
because the same conditions produce
the same result in all the cases.-—

Sail Bearing Fisnes.
Various marine animals possess
organs which, raised above the sur
face, act as sails, by means of which
they are propelled along the water
Among these may he mentioned Hie
Portuguese man-of-war and the pa
per nautilus. Certain fishes, it ap
pears, use the same method of pro
gression, the dorsal fin acting as a
sail. Brousonnet called such fishes
Poissons voiliers. And the scientific
name histiophorus ’sail bearer), giv
en to n genua of fish, implies a sim
ilar belief. In a contribution to the
zoological ,7-uTrbuch Louis Hollo
claims that other genera are also
sail bearers. Ke suggests also that
among the cetaceans the grampuj
and bottle nosed whale may malt*
a similin* use of tb*» fin. )

Georgs Washington No Sailor.
A Raltimorc schoolteacher Im
encountered such a degree of igno
rance and mental obtuseness on the
part of one of her boys that she be
came disheartened. So it was with
considerable sarcasm that she said
to the youngster:
“1 wonder if you could tell m-
whether George Washington was a
soldier or a sailor?”
The kid grinned. “He was a sol
dier, all right,” was the reply.
“How do you know?” asked the
weary teacher.
“Because I seer a picture of him
crossin’ the Delaware,” explained
the boy. “Any shilor’d know enough
not to stand up in the boat.”—Ship
ping Illustrated.
An Apology Duo and Forthcoming.
An Illiterate young man once got
a friend to write a letter for him
to his sweetheart. The letter was
rather prosaic for a love letter, and
the lover felt that an apology was
due to his sweetheart for its lack of
tender nothings. It was added at
his suggestion as follows:
“Please excuse the mildness of
this here letter, as the chap wot’s
ritin it is a married man, and he
says he carn’t ’bide any soft soap-
ings. It alius gives him the spa*
zuius.”—Londan Telegraph.
Tho Way She Dieted.
The fat girl of this story is not a
myth nor a show person, but a solid,
private reality. Her fatness weighed
upon her, so she went to a physician
to get rid of some of it. He drew
up a careful dietary. She was to eat
dry toast, plain boiled beef, etc.,
and to return in a month to report
reduction. At the end of the month
she could hardly get through the
doctor’s doorway. He was aghast.
“Did you eat what I told you?”
he asked.
“Religiously!”
His brow wrinkled itself. Sud
denly he had an inspiration. “Any
thing else?” he asked.
“Only my ordinary meals.”—Ex
change.
Hs Had No Objections.
He had held one of the fattest
jobs in the gift of the local political
boss, and when he died there was
an unseemly scramble for his posi
tion. The first man to reach the
boss had no particular claim upon
him. but merely placed his faith in
the adage of the early whrm.
“Guv’ner,” said he, “do you think
yon would have any objections to
my getting into Jones’ place?”
“Oh, I’m sure I have no objec
tions,” was the unfeeling reply.
“None in the world, if the under
takers and coroner aTe willing.”—

Her Pawing Neighbor.
The woman was half in hysterics
when her friends went over to her
where she sat in her delicate pink
party dress on the long divan.
“It’s that girl who just left me,”
she lanierftod. “I’ll never sit by
her again if J see her first, she
pawed me so. I we* flattered when
she came to talk with me until she
began to paw me. Kverything she
said 6he would emphasize by hit
ting me a blow somewhere, on the
shoulder or the arm or the hip. I
believe she’s an ex-pugilist. I feel
all broke to pieces. Why do they
let such people come to parties?”
she finished, with a sob,—New York
Press.
I Made Good the Charge.
Magistrate—You are charged
with assault and battery. Are you
guilty or not guilt}'?
Prisoner—I suppose I am guilty,
your honor, but there were mitigat
ing circumstances.
Magistrate—The plaintiff claims
that you gouged his eye, bit a piece
off his ear, knocked him down and
then walked all over his body. Now,
what did he do that you should as
sault him thus ?
Prisoner—He said that I was no
gentleman, you honor. — Chicago

A Wife’s Thoughtfulness.
A Chicago newspaper man tell*
this on himself. He was about to
Btart from home one bitter morn
ing last winter when the mercury
was hovering around zero and a
razor edge gale was hustling in off
the lake. He had just pulled on his
gloves, and, turning to his wife, he
asked: “Whatever became of that
old pair of ear muffs I used to
wear? If you can find them, I be
lieve I’ll put ’em on this morning.”
**I wouldn’t wear those things if
I were you,” responded his wife.
“Why not?” inquired John, look
ing at her suspiciously out of the
tail of his eye.
“Why,” returned his wife, in a
resigned tone, “you wouldn’t any
more than get downtown with those
ear coverings on before somebody
would ask you to ‘come in and have
something,’ and you might not hear
it, and when you found it out the
shock might kill you. Then I would
be a widow.”
John had closed the door and
gono on his way—without the ear
muffs.
MANY A MAN
Is a critic because he likes to
be contrary. You can go con
trary to the wishes of your
friends and neighbors and some
times get the best of them, but
go contrsry to the dictates of
nature and you always get the
worst of it.
If Nature Says Spectacles,
Then Spectacles it must be.
Nature won’t accept just Spec
tacles though; they must be
right Spectacles. I can give
the kind that nature demands.
