4 I 1 = A PROMINENT LADY Speaks in Highest Terms of Pernna as a Catarrh Cure. Mrs. M. A, Theatro; member Re- becca Lorge, Iola Lodge; also member of Woman’s Relief Corps, writes the following letter from 1838 Jackson Street, Minneapolis, Minn.: Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, 0. Gentlemen—‘As a remedy for ca- tarrh I can cheerfully recommend Pe- runa. I have been troubled with chronic catarrh for over six years. I had tried several remedies without re- lief. A lodge friend advised me to try Peruna, and I began to use it faith- fully before each meal. Since then I have always kept it in the house. I am now in better health than I have been in over twenty years, and I feel sure my catarrh is permanentl; sured.” Peruna cures catarrh wherever lo- eated. As soon as Peruna removes systemic catarrh the digestion becomes good, nerves strong, and trouble van- ishes. Peruna’ strengthens weak nerves, not by temporarily stimu- lating them, but by removing the cause of weak nerves—systemic ca- tarrh. This is the only cure that lasts. Remove the cause; nature will do the rest. Peruna removes the cause, Address The Peruna Medicine Com- pany, Columbus, Ohio, for a book treating of Catarrh in its different phases and stages, also a book en- titled ‘Health and Beauty,"’ written especially for women. HOW, WHOM, WHEN TO KISS, No Longer Good Form to Kiss on the Lips, It Is Said—The Duty of Mothers. And now even kissing is being re- duced to a science! Orce upon a time en people wanted to kiss, they just i, and that was all the fuss there yas about it. Now all this is changed. ‘The woman who wants to be absolutely * in kissing, as she is in selection of her hats or gowns, kings or petticoats, must kiss ac- cording to rule. s no longer good form,” we are assured by one of these newly-fledged authorities on polite osculation, “to kiss even your dearest friend on the lips. That kiss is sacred to lovers and to husbands and wives. In polite so- ciety, the upon each cheek is now the accepted form of greeting between friends and relatives. When women are about the same age, either one may offer the caress, but between a young woman and an older woman, the younger must proffer her lips and the older will gracefully turn her cheek to ve the kiss. Then, if the older she may, in turn, kiss the young- er; but there is no discourtesy if she turns the other cheek and becomes the recipient of the second kiss. “Under no circumstances must the younger woman turn her cheek for the first k This is a pretty little act of deference on her part, but to force her senior to give her the kiss is distinct rudeness. The well-bred woman is al- ways cordial, but never effusive in her caresses. She is also chary of them. Promiscuous kissing is in bad taste. Of course, to kiss even one’s nearest relative in the street is not per- missible. A woman who is the posses- sor of self-respect and dignity will take care that her kisses are not mean- ingles: “There are several reasons why the kiss upon the lips has become obso- lete, the principal one being that it is unhygienic. Especially is it bad for children to be kissed upon the lips by their elders. Mothers who study healt) never kiss their own children in this way, and is careful that the nurse does not thus show her love for her little charge. Kisses may be pressed upon a child’s cheek, brow, eyes chin or neck put never on the mouth. A hurried kiss is always an insult. Some women put off the good-bye kiss until the last moment, and then give it in a peck on the check. The proper way to give a kiss is to press your lips lightly but firmly, against the cheek, and let them rest there for an instant. There must not be anything suggestive of a smack. —Philadeiphia Times. Identified. ‘Max Muller is dead,” remarked the Literary Man. “Who was Max Muller?” gruffly in- quired the Sordid Politician. “He was a brother to Maud Muller,” answered the Literary Man, with a pained expression on his face. “O, J see!’ said the Sordid Politi- cian, “the girl that raked the hay?” “Yes,” said the Literary Man, “he drove the horse-rake while Maud was flirting with the Judge. He was the one for whom she was figuring on buy- ing a broadcloth coat if she had caught the Judge.”—Buffalo Express. pie None To Amuse the Horse. ‘A Paris hackman, hailed by a coun- tryman who was dressed in a style well calculated to make the city chaps laugh, shrugged his shoulders, and was about to drive on, when the country- man shouted to him: “What, you refuse to take me, al- though you are not engaged!” “Well, no,” said cabby, “I'll take you, just to amuse the poor old horse.””—Ex- change. ee Perseverance often accomplishes more than power. Baltpeter for Tree Killing. Some time ago we saw in an Aus- tralian exchange a letter from.a form- er resident of the United States tell- ing about the practice of killing trees by the use of saltpeter. According to his statement the saltpeter was in- serted in the tree while in the process of growth and while the leaves were still performing their function. A hole was bored in the tree and filled with saltpeter and water, after which the hole was plugged up. This saltpeter was carried to all parts of the tree. Then another hole was bored and more saltpeter inserted, which also was dis- tributed through the tree. After the tree died it was set on fire and burned up root and branch, the saltpeter mak- ing it burn fiercely. We do not know how much of a fancy sketch this was, and if any of our readers have had ex- perience in the matter we would like to hear from them. Recently a dsicussion has been going on as to the power to destroy green stumps in this way. Some men say they bored holes in the stumps and put in the saltpeter and water, only to find afterward that the stump would not burn. Some others say the effect was to rot the stump, which could afterward be dug out easily. Up to. date we have learned of no way that will deal with the stumps more effec- tively than does the stump puller. As to the burning up of trees that have been saturated with saltpeter, we think the time has gone past for that kind of operation. The time was when trees in this country were simply in the way and were destroyed in the shortest way possible. But now they are worth saving if only for fire-wood, The Sod. A farmer can have neither a good Pasture nor a good meadow without a good sod. But the kind of sod he needs on his pasture is very different from the sod he needs in his meadow. We see in a contemporary a laudation of blue-grass sod for the pasture. But we know that blue grass sod is not the ideal sod for a pasture. It should be a part of the sod but not the whole thing. Blue grass makes good pas- ture at certain seasons, but during much of the time is below its prime. The pasture sod should most certain- ly be formed of a variety of grasses, so that grass will be making’a good growth at all seasons when any grass could grow. The sod for the meadow shoud of course be made of one kind of grass. The meadow is supposed to be for the production of hay and the hay crop is gathered at one time. But in both cases the sod should be well taken care of, should be well manured and not permitted to get thin. One of the great faults of our American farming is neglect of the sod in both pastures and meadows. In the sod lies much of the profit on the farm. We think if our farmers would keep a close ac- count of the receipts from their sod lands they would pay more attention to them. Hog Houses. In the building of hog hoses, it such houses are to be ideal, a number of important points must be taken into consideration. A writer on the subject of hog houses rightly says: “There is one point that is commonly jlost sight of in hog growing, and that} is that he is an animal to which sun- shine is just as essential as it is to the corn plant. Neither corn nor pork can be produced successfully without plenty of sunshine. In the building of the hog house have it constructed in such a way that the sun will shine into it on the south and reach to the back of the pen and on the beds of the ‘pigs.” The house should be arranged on the inside so that there will be a free circulation of air between the pens. This is especially necessary in warm weather. The drainage should be such that the floor of the house will be always dry. The arrangements for removing the manure should be 80, perfect that it can be kept out of the way of the hogs at all times. The pens in the house should be construct- ed with the idea of often needing to change pigs from one pen to another. ‘To accomplish some of these things it will be necessary to have much of the inside arrangement made movable. Swinging gates can be used to ad- vantage. Yields of Wheat. That the average yield per acre of vur wheat can be doubled under proper methods is demonstrated by the re- ports that we are constantly receiv- ing from the agricultural colleges and the experiment staticns. The average yield of wheat in the country at large is only about 13 bushels per acre, yet in some of our states ‘where, because of deficient rainfall, the conditions for growing wheat are not of the best, the yields are far in excess of the average for the country. We notice that even in Oklahoma the yields as reported at the station are such that wheat raising is highly profitable. Yields of from 25 to 36 bushels to the acre are given as the results of their various experiments in handling the land for the wheat crop. What is done on a small scale can be quite gen- erally done on a larger scale, there is no good reason why the best methods should not be widely applied. English and American Thoroughbreds. The difference in the types of Eng- lish and American thoroughbred horses has been set forth as follows: The English horse is taller, or leggier, as they say, then ours. He usually has more length and more quality; whereas the American thoroughbred has more substance, is more closely coupled—that is, shorter—and, as a rule, is a horse of better constitution and sounder, particularly‘in the wind, a “roarer” being a rare thing with us, and’ The “White Man’s Big Sleep.” ‘Westralian aborigines call Sunday “the white man’s big sleep.” A local ‘Anglican bishop is authority for this.— Sydney Mail.

During the shoot- ing season in Great Britain accidents ure comparatively rare, considering the first-class opportunities to blow off a companion’s head or drill a hole ‘in his back. But such accidents do hap- pen, and the first man to be shot this season was Lord Binning. The noble lord is a bit of a wag, and even when his leg was perforated with shot from his own gun, and he was sitting against a hedge waiting for a stretcher to be brought, his wit did not desert him, for, as the doctor was binding up his wounds, he remarked: “I came out to kill grouse—but, ‘pon my soul, I seem to have bagged a calf.’—Saturday Evening Post.

How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of the female organs makes every movement f painf and keeps the nervous system all unstrung ! One day she is wretched and utterly miserable ; in a day or two she is better and laughs at her fears, thinking there j is nothing much the matter after all; but before night the deadly backache reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips twitch —it seems as thoug! all the imps of Satan were clutching her vitals ; she goes to pieces and is flat on her back. _ No woman ought to arrive at this terrible state of misery, because these symptoms are a sure forerunner of womb troubles, She must remember that Lydia E.
