‘Squirrel Became Wood.
The following story was given us
by a gentleman whose veracity we
would not doubt. About six years ago
in the fall a hunter shot a squirrel,
which lodged between two small twigs
the size of a lead pencil. This being
near the man’s house, he watched
the squirrel each week. The first
spring the twigs grew and the squirrel
remained in ‘the position it lodged.
The second year the twigs, which
had grown to be the size of a man's
fingers, died; so did the limb die. The
third year no change, but during the
fourth year the tail of the squirrel
dropped off, and the man noticed no
change in the fith, but in the sixth
year he secured the limb and squirrel
and found, to his surprise, that the
squirrel had become & white oak
bump. Under the microscope could be
seen the hairs in the wood. The places
for the eyes and ears were perfect,
and where the chin and forelegs bad
touched the twigs it grew to them.
The legs were intact, but the feet had
disappeared. The hody of the squirrel
had grown to be about four inches in
diameter.
What puzzled the gentleman who
gave us this is, through what process
could the dead animal become wood?
As proof to the story we can furnish
the name of the man who has fhe
freak of nature in his possession and
who watched it from the time it first
lodged.-—Hggith’s Grove (Ky.) Times.
Effect of Moral Teaching on Youth.
- Two small boys stood before Judge
Stubbs of the Juvenile court. They
gazed fearfully into his earmest, yet
kindly face, and, not too badly fright
ened to understand, grasped the im
port of the lecture.
“My Hoys, tell me, now, why did you
jump off and on those cars? You
knew that you might have a leg or an
arm cut off, didn’t you? You might
have been killed. Now, you haven’t
got any. more arms and legs than you
need, Have you? Don’t you see that
it's very foolish of you to put your
self in%ia'a.ger in that manner?”
SittinJg in the little waiting room of
the coujrt half an hour later, both boys
were sillent. They had evidently been
ponderifng over the words of the judge.
Not so imuch reverence as might have
been exlpected was heard in the voice
of the simaller boy as he suggested to
the othefr:
“Huh/! Bet that’s how the judge lost
his owr4 arm.”’—lndianapolis News.

ound the Meanest Man.
“I spppose,” said Representative
Hughes, of New Jersey, ‘that they
" pointed out to me the meanest man in
the Unilted States last time I was over
in Wilklesbarre,
“He lis a merchant there, and his
reputation for stinginess is so univer
gal that when it was announced he in
tended (to do something handsome for
his son/ on the boy’s 12th birthday, a
delegation of men who knew him
called 'around to see what had hap
pened,l-}and if he had really loosened
up. ;
“ [ hear you did something fine ;foJ
your son,’ sald one of the visitors.
“+Yeg,' sald the stingy man, ‘I treat
ed him pretty well’ ;
“*What did you do? asked another.
-~ 1““Well, he said, ‘I was going to let
him have his hair cut as a birthday
treat, but as it turned so cold I took a
pail of water and made a slide for him
in the back yard.” ,
When Digestion Is Perfect.
Thus we have arrived at the conclu
sion that moderation in diet has more
to do with prolonging human life than
any other one thing, and we have en
deavored to enforce this teaching by
showing in the clearest manner of
which we are capable the reasons for
it. A proper dietetic regimen, once
attained, brings all the rest in its
traln. Sleep, exercise, cleanliness,
equanimity of spirit, all hang upon it|
Life is not only prolonged, but is con:
stantly enjoyed, most of its minor an
noyances vanishing when digestion ig
perfect. Pay no attention to fads.
They give rise to too much introspec.
tion, and that is bad for every one.—

MR. AND MRS. J. 0. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO.
UNDER date of January 10, 1897, Dr.
H#rtman received the following letter:
“My wife had been suffering from a com
plication of diseases for the past 25 vears.
“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
eritical 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 ence
commenced, and have to say it completely
cured her. She firmly believes that she
would have been dead only for these won
derful remedies.
“About the same time I wrote you about
ray own case of catarrh, which had been of
% years’ standing. At times I was almost
past going. I commenced to use Peruna
according to your instructions and contin
wed its use for about a year, and it has
completely cured me.
“Your remedies do all that you
claim for them, ‘and even more, Ca
tarrh cannot exist where Peruna is
taken according to directions, Suc
cess to you and your remedies,’’
John O. Atkinson.

Atkinson says, after five years’ experience
with Peruna: :
“I will ever continue to speak a
good word for Peruna. In my rounds
as a traveling man lam a walking
advertisement for Peruna and have
induced many people duringthe past
year to use Peruna with the most sat
isfactory results. I am still cured
of catarrh,” John O. Atkinson,
Box 272, Independence, Mo:~
- When old age comes on catarr af dis
eases come also. Systemic cafasfrh is al
most universal in old people./”
_ This explains why Perunid has become so
indispensable to old jfeople. Peruna is
their safeguard. Perydna 1s the only rem
edyi vet devised that {meets these cases ex
actly.
Such cases cannot "be treacod locally;
nothing but an effectsive systemic remedy
could cure them. ."I'his is exactly what Pe
runa Is. 2 :
If you do noff receive prompt and satisfac
tory results rom the use of Peruna, write
at once to IYr. Hartman, giv_in%a full state
ment of yg/ur case and he will be pleased to
give you HMis valuable advice gratis.
