1425 Dunning street, Chicago, 111., the
following letter:
•'For years I suffered with ca tarrh
of the kidneys contacted in the
army. Medicine did not help me any
until a comrade who had been hclped
by Peruna advised me to try it. 1
bought some at once, and soon found
blessed relief. 1 kept taking it four
months, and am now well and strong
and feel better than I have done for
the past twenty years, thanks to
Peruna.” — TANARUS, H. Mars.
Mr. John Vance, of Hartford City,
lud., says: “My kidney trouble is much
better. I have improved so much that
everybody wants to know what medi
cine I am using. I recommend Peruna
to everybody, and some have com
menced to use it. d he folks all say
that if Dr. Hartman’s medicine cures
me it must be great.” —John A auce.

Canada, writes: ♦our years ago 1

FATAL POSSESSIONS.
Weird Romance of a Finger Ring
That Killed a Bride.
Some of the most w'eird and curious
romances are associated with posses
sions which appear to have no other
purpose than to bring misfortune and
Trouble on those who own them. A
tragic instance cf in
connection with the
According to the legend, Colin aM
sey, a former Ear! of Balcarres,
quietly eating his breakfast when ne
should have been awaiting his bride
at the altar. When reminded of the
fact he hurried off to church, and, for
getting the indispensable ring, bor
rowed one from a friend, which he
duly placed on the bride’s finger.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
the newly-made countess took a
glance at the ring and, on seeing that
it bore a grinning death’s head, sud
denly fainted away. The incident af
fected her to such an extent that, on
recovering consciousness, she express
ed her conviction that she was des
tined to die within twelve months.
And sure enough, in less than that
period her life came to an end. Na
poleon 111 was the possessor of two
rings, which he constantly wore, and
which had belonged to his predecess-
Dr,'.Napoleon I, who was a fatalist in
the fullest meaning of the term. When
Napoleon 111 died It was proposed
that these rings should be removed
from his finger; but the prince Im
perial refused to have them.
They accordingly buried witn
his father at Chislehurst, and, so far
from regarding them from the same
point of view as the prince, the em
peror’s servants firmly believed that
he would come to an untimely end
for discarding the rings. And when,
in 1879, the unfortunate young man
mat his death at the hands of the Zu
lus, against whom he was fighting for
ihis country, they saw In this deplor
able event the realization of their
’ears. One of the bast-known public
men in New Zealand, a wealthy resi
dent of Hokiangl, North Island, re
cently traveled all the way to St.
Louis, U. S. A., in &. fruitless endeav
or to have an idol cremated w-hich had
cast an evil spell over him. The
heathen idol had come to him as part
cf a legacy from his grandfather, to
whom it had been presented by a Ma
cri chief. Said Its owner, “I have
traveled 10,000 miles with the Image,
ind It has brought disaster after dis
ister upon me. I have often endeav
ored to destroy it, but without avail.
“I once threw' It under a train, and,
in running to get out of the way, fell
and broke one oi my fingers. Then
l was arrested for endangering the
lives of passengers. When In London
three months ago I threw it into the
Thames, and a drunken sailor who
fished It out brought it back to my
rooms, and In his rage at not receiv
ing a reward, almost beat me to death.
While in San Francisco I tried to chop
it to pieces with an ax, when the ax
rebounding, struck me on the fore
head with almost fatal effe-- The
wood Is so hard that an ordinary fire
will not destroy It. *nd I am afraid
to get rid of It otherwise because of
the evil results.” The Image was a
crude figure In rosewood and ebony,

Set it cremated in Ft. Louis its owner
itarted for New Y’ork, where he was
determined to have it destroyed at
whatever cost.

THE HAVEN OF DREAMS.
VABY K. BUCK IN CHICAGO INTEB-OCEAN.
When the weary da> w'ith its toil is o’er
And darkness broods over earth once
more.
We gladly slip through the gates of night,
And sail for a mysticai shore.
In the soft-winged shallop of sleep ave glide
O’er a silent sea with a rhythmic tide,
That lulls to rest each throbbing woe
Our aching hearts may hide.
And though from afar no beacon gleams,
Nor mariner’s star sheds its guiding beams,
T r et ever the unseen ships go by,
Seeking the haven of dreams. ,
And when we’ve entered that haven fair.
The wonders untold that await ns there!
Back in the meadows of childhood we
roam,
Basking again in the lovelight of home.
The dear ones we’ve lost are with us once
more,
Just as wc knew them and loved them of
yore;
And none ever doubts all is not as it seems
While we linger entranced in the haven of
dreams.
So it seemeth to me that some shadowy
night
When death draws the curtain we’ll slip
out of sight.
And sail in a shallop like that we '•all sleep,
To a wonderful land wher<* no eyes ever
weep.
And the haven of dreams lieth white.
His Dream Wife
HE— the man of this little inci
dent. that took place one af
ternoon this week in one of
£ the skyscraping office build
ings down town—was a young lawyer
of considerable practice and some in
herited wealth. She—the woman who
held the strong, shapely hand of the
man—was a manicure girl. The warm
rays of the sunshine that filtered
through the window glass in the young
woman’s daintily furnished “manicure
parlor” seemed to smile kindly on the
pair. She was a pretty girl with nat
ural light colored ..hair and agate blue
eyes. There was an admiring gaze in
the young lawyer's eyes as lie watched
her polishing his thumb nail. After a
few moments’ silence the girl ceased
work, looked up and inquired:
“How Is your wife to-day?”
With a sudden start which indicated
that his thoughts had been wandering
the young man said:
“Ah; oh, yes—my wife, she is about
the same, you know.”
“I am glad,” responded “for
you said she was well wlien®fei were
here yesterday.”
“Was It only yesterday
here last?” inquired the
“It was. and you day
before that and the
fact every day for t Wo she
said with a smile,
He leaned his chai^A ml
gazed into tliive
pof the
pleasant know; just to^ftt
anand chat
3'ou hold mwand.”
“Don’t jmf such things to me,” sail
the brushed from her
stray of her golden hair. “]bflj
member your wife—she might not ifl
It.” ll
“That's true.” responded the you M
fellow, with a sigh, “hut let
her.” f H
“You must not,” said the girlY’Toß
have always admired you for the wl
you spoke of your wife. I hate ml
who abuse their wives to other women
I have always thought that no matt
how disagreeable a man’s wife migJ
be nothing could justify him in gossii
Ing about her faults.” jfl
“Do many men do that?” inquir®
the young fellow. “I know they sonS
times tell their lawyers about their
mestlc troubles, but ”
“Oh, yes,” said the girl, “that’s one of
the most disagreeable features about a
manicure girl’s life—at least, I find it
so men come to us with their
troubles. Men sit here b.v the hour and
tell me wliat disagreeable creatures
their wives are; it often seems to me
that no man loves liis wife. They all
seem to tell the same story—of a sud
den infatuation, a hasty marriage and
then disappointments and quarrels.”
“It’s simply awful. Is it not?” In
quired the interested listener.
“Yes, It is. There was a time when,
like every other girl, I suppose, I
thought of marrying, but two years of
manicuring men’s finger nails has
made me fearful of marriage. I could
not bear to think that my husband
Would abuse me to other women.”
“I don’t think that any man would
speak unkindly of you—even though
you were his wife,” said the young
lawyer, as he looked full Into the up
turned face of the girl.
She blushed, shook her head and
said: “That’s the way all men talk—so
I have been told —before marriage.”
“I am certain I nerer could were
you my ■wife,” remarked tile young
fellow with a tender tone of voice.
“f)on’t you think you had better go
now,” said the girl. “Your wife will
expect you hotpe to dinner.”
“My wife will not be kept waiting—
she never dines with me. She—well—
she is a most disagreeable person.”
“Don’t; please go,” pleaded the girl,
“you know you always told mo before
how much you loved and admired your
wife. I loved to sit and listen to your
description of your happy home—your
domestic wife. I know you said she
was not pretty, but you told me she
was dainty and refined loolflng; that
she was so gentle and considerate; that
she did not care for society, except
when you went with her. Oh, I know
she must be lovely; I wish I could see
her and tell her how nobly you have
talked about her. She Is all that I
would try to be to a husband I loved.”
She suddenly ceased talking and sat
with her hands clasped and her face
upturned. The young lowyer arose,
walked to the window and looked out.
After a few minutes of silence he again
faced the girl and said:
“Yes, that’s all true. I did say those
things, but that was the story of a
dream wife, an ideal, not the reality.”
“Then you were lying all the time?”
gasped the girl.
“No, not that.” was the response. “I
was just painting my dream in words
—you know that there is nothing so
happy as dreaming, and I hare been
dreaming some years about a wife—the
kind I would like ”
“But,” exclaimed the girl with a per-
plexed expression on her flushed face,
“you have a wife.”
“She’s a nightmare,” retorted the
young fellow, “not a wife.”
“Please, go.” urged the girl. “It’s
cowardly to •speak so of a woman and
that woman your wife. I am disap
pointed in you—more than I can tell.”
“Let me tell you of my nightmare
wife,” pleaded the young lawyer as he
stood directly In front of the chair in
which the girl was seated.
“I admit that I loved her very much,
that our courtship was happy, roman
tic and all that. She was an ideal wife
for a few weeks, then all changed. Tc
my faults she was always unkind. She
became cold and Indifferent to my de
sires and fancies. She was cross and
fretful. She became careless In her
personal appearance except when she
expected friends. She quarrelled with
the servants, she neglected the
house ”
“Don’t tell me any more,” pleaded
the girl.
“Just a little more,” urged ti? young
fellow. “When I sometimes—not of
ten—came home a little under the gen
tle influence of something stronger
than water, my nightmare wife did not
wait until the next morning, when I
had recovered, to scold me, but talked
at me when I wanted sieep and began
again at breakfast.”
“Was that so bad?” Inquired the girl.
“That was the very worst of it; a
man with a bad head can’t stand a
scolding. A wife—a loving, gentle,
sensible wife—would wait until after
the head had resumed its normal shape
and then do her scolding.”
“I think you are right,” said the girl,
with a smile.
“Do ,vou mean that?” inquired the
man.
“I do: I know you are right.”
“I thought that I had not made a
mistake in you—l have been studying
you for many days and I am a good
judge of character.”
“I am awfullj' sorry you have such a
wife. I loved the wife 3-011 first told
me about. Why did 3-011 do that?”
“Because I wanted to draw 3-011 out
and study you. I pictured my dream
wife and now I have told 3-ou of my
nightmare wife.”
“Which is the real one you have?”
eagerly inquired the manicure girl.
’ Whether I have the dream wife I
think depends on you.” said the 3-oung
lawyer, as he leaned over the girl’s
chair and gazed into her face.
“I don’t understand 3'ou,” retorted
the girl.
“I have neither a dream wife nor a
nightmare wife, except in fancy, but I
want 3'ou to be my wife m3- ideffP
wife.” Silence reigned supreme for a
lew seconds and with the glory of the
full on her pretty face the

Imperial Gallantry.
How the pleasant eccentricities of
one generation will persist In breaking
out in another, defying time and ridi
cule and the change of manners. It
was the plaful wa>- of Frederick the
Great when he came across a buxom
wench to marry her forthwith to the
tallest of his grenadiers, and it stand*
to the credit of his intuition that these
marriages rarely proved a failure.
Now, either in emulation of his great
predecessor or else because lie cannot
help it, the Kaiser has just had a sim
ilar attack of gallantry gallantry,
mark 3-ou, on a truly imperial scale.
He was visiting Crefeld lately, that
busy town of silks and velvets on the
lower Rhine, and learned from the
pretty girl inhabitants that all they
Av-anted in the world was a handful of
lieutenants to dance Avith them. He}-,
presto! the autocratic mandate has
gone forth that Crefeld is to have its
garrison In the shape of a crack hus
sar regiment, and the burgomaster Is
busy preparing it accommodation,

, The Sea Trout.
The gamest of salt Avater fish, after
the striped bass, is the weakfisli or sea
trout. The sport of angling for them
is generally enhanced because, feeding
as they generally do near the surface,
it is possible to fish for them with light
tackle. The best places to find them
In the vicinity of New York are Ja
maica Bay, the southwestern shore of
Staten Island and the mouth of the
Shrewsbury RHcr. While they have
been caught weighing upward of tAven
ty pounds, a six or ten pounder is a
good size and the average Avill only
run from one to two and a half. There
is never an}- doubt when a weakfisb
bites. He does not nibble around the
hook.-but takes the bait at one fail
sAvoop and then starts off Avith it like a
limited express Avith time to make up.
He is a shy fish and the man Avho uses
a small line, light leaders and snells to
liis hook, and keeps quiet Avhile fishing
is the one avlio is apt to have the best
luck.—Country Life in America.
The Largest Cave In Europe.
Jn the Muota-thal, near Schwyn,
Switzerland, there Is what Is prob
ably the largest cave In Europe. The
existence of th 9 cave had l<jng been
known, but as it could only be enter
ed by crawling no one had troubled tc
investigate the interior. This sum
mer, however, three separate parties
have explored it. The distance tra
versed amounts, altogether, to no less
than 8,000 yards, and the end of the
cavern has not yet been reached, says
a contemporary. Evidently (he grot
to is greater than those of either Han
or the Adelsberg. and Is to be counted
among the most striking of the curi
osities of tbe Alps. The entrance is
close to the village in which Suvaroff
had his headquarters in tne campaign
of 1779; but that great general was
kept much too busy to notice it. —St
