MADAME BAVE S TESTIFIES. A Distinguished Lady After Travel- ing Six Years in Search of Health, at Last Finds It in Dedd’s Kidney Pills. Hot Springs, Ark., March 18.—(Spe- cial.—This popular resort numbers among its patrons many of the world’s most distinguished men and women, but none more so than Madame Ise belle Ellen Bavea Life Governor of the Free Masons’ Grand Lodge of Eng- Jan Ma n Baveas, like most of the oth- itors, came here in search of health. She was not disappointed, but her cure was not found in the vir of the baths, but in a few box Dodd’s Kidney Pills, a remedy which she found on sale here, and which is being used and with wonderful success by a number of the visitors to Hot Springs. She says: “T tra d almost constantly for-the ars in the interests of my sty, and my health gradually be- came broken down, through the change of food, water, climate, etc. The doc- tors told me I had diabetes, and ad- vised me to go to the Springs, as they could do nothing for me. While there my attention was called to Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills by a fellow sufferer, who had been greatly benefited by using them. “I profited by her experience and bought a box, and then another, and so on until I had used seven boxes. It is with gratitude that I state that they cured me completely, and I am now able to take up the duties of life once more. I am y thankful for what Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done for me, and as a grateful woman shall never hesitate to recommend them to any one a suffering with Diabetes. The very satisfactory experience of this distinguished woman should be an encouragement to all similar suffer- ers. Dodd's Kidney Pills are 5€c. a box, six boxes for $2.50.

When Aubrey Beardsley had nothing else to do he was wont to put a pen- cil to paper and, without withdrawing it, outline the figure of a woman, Some- times he would thus draw the head of a satyr, prolonging the arms to repre- sent limbs of a tree, foliage laden. He had a habit of twisting the torso in such wise that a portion of the rear el- evation was to be seen advanced well to both right and left in the convolu- tions. This was his style in illustra- tion. Over in Europe—France espe- cially—a new school of architecture has much vogue just now. It may be called the school which represents Beardsley- ism in architecture. The exponents of this school, practically founded by Mr. Bing, have a way of fashioning adorn- ments, exterior and intericr, fashion- ing structures themselves in the twist- ed, impossible manner which Mr. Beardsley, following the windings of a vagrant pencil, placed before the world as art productions. “They call it Art Nouveau over there,” remarked John | Mead Howells, a New York architect | of considerable not. “I am inclined | to the belief that Burne-Jones and | Rossetti and others of their pre-Ra- | phaelite school originated this new art. Beardsley, to be sure, while but an fl- lustrator, did many things which seem I would not say that they were actually copies, but they represent the queer, twisted and dis- torted human figures, the oddities in curves and other outlandish shapes which violate all the canons of art. The smaller buildings in the recent expo- sion had manifestations of this new school which fully exploit its eccen- tricities. I saw a number of tenement houses in the Champs Elysees which | are covered all over with the strange | figures. The thing developed just about | the break between the old and new! salon. The new people have pushed their ideas—if they can be called such, for, really, they resemble fused con- struction, and that without Jesign— and have made some progress over there. Here? Well, I can not say that I have encountered much of it, or, indeed, can recall a single manitesta- tion.” Cheese It. “Cheese it” is in an English slang dictionary of 1811, and the definition shows that the phrase was then used in the same sweet sense as that of to- day. And the phrase came banging and bumping down the last century. The ingenious George Augustus Sala in his “Gaslight and Daylight” (1859) wrote in the chapter “Strollers at Dumble- downdeary” about young Harry, who held earnest parley with members of | the upper gallery who were pelting him and his friends with nutshells and broken piles. ‘Two or three ‘hallos!’ and ‘now, thens!’ accompanied by a strong recommendation to ‘cheese it’ (i. e., act of cessation), cause these trifling annoyances to cease.” You see that Mr. Sala thought it necessary to explain the phrase to his genteel audience. The dictionaries all say that “cheese it” is thought to be a corrup- | tion of “cease it.” Maybe they think so. We dare inclined to believe in a more remote derivation. “Cease it!” is too easy.—Boston Journal. A Chance for Testa. The president of the French Acad- emy of Sciences at the. last meeting of that body announced that Mme. Guzmanx, a believer in the plurality of inhabited worlds, had bequeathed to the academy a sum of 100,000 francs, to ! be given to any person who shall have succeeded in entering into communi- cation with one of the heavenly bodies with the exception of the planet Mars. The “will,” M. Levy adds, wisely pro- vides that on each occasion that prizes could not be awarded during the space of five years in succession the com- pound interest will be devoted to the promotion of the serious work of as- tronemy. The intention of the foun- der will be scrupulously carried out and the prize will be put up for compe- tition in the present year. Followed Hat from Fast Train. Thomas Flemming of Delavan, Wiz., walked off a Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul express train going at the rate of forty-seven miles an hour and cs- caped with a split head, broken nose, bruised eyes and sore body. He board- ed the train for Milwaukee. At Kan- sasville, west of Racine, he stood on the platform of a coach and his hat blew off, and he followed after it. A posse of fifty citizens went in search of Flemming, expecting to find his mangled body, but he had struck in a snowdrift, was rendered unconscious, revived and walked to Kansasville, where he was found. Deeds Greater Than Words. Deeds are greater than words, Deeds have such a life, mute but undeniable, and grow as living trees and fruit trees do; they people the vacuity of time and make it green and worthy. Why shouid the oak prove logically that it ought to grow, and will grow? Plant it, try it; what gifts of diligent judicious assimilation and secretion it has, of progress and resistance, of force to grow, will then declare them- selves.—Carlyle. — << = Dar once) ©. = with rig to scliour Poultry Mixture; straighy salary $15.00 per week and expenses; year’s contract; weekly pay.

It is commonly known to the medical fraternity that the numerous ailments and complications which follow the grip are apt to be more serious than the acute stage of the disease. Some people have the grip very lightly. They may.be confined to the house only a day or two and yet a long train of disagreeable, disabling symptoms follow. All sorts of tonics and stimulating remedies have been devised to meet this condition. None of them can compare in results with Peruna. Every one who has had the grip ought to take a short course of Peruna. Read what the following people have to say about it. Washington, Feb, 4, 1899. The Peruna Medicine Co.,Columbus, 0O.: Gentlemen—‘"I have taken Peru- na now for two weeks, and find I am very much relieved. I feel that my cure will be perma- nent. I have also taken it for la grippe, and take pleasure in recommen ding Peruna as an ex- cellent remedy to all fellow suf- ferers.”—M. W. Howard. Congressman Howard's dress is Fort Payne, Ala.

Hartman, Dear Sir:—‘“I write to inform you that I had a bad attack of la grippe last December which lasted more than three months and which left me with catarrh, when 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 botile and followed your directions, which you furnish with every botile, and I am glad to say that it has cured me, I shall certainly recommend the Peruna to all my friends.” D. D. Wallace, a GRIP charter member of the International Bar- CAUSED ber’s Union writes from 15 Western ave., NERVOUS Minneapolis, Minn. DYSPEPSIA. “Following a severe attack of la grippe I seemed to be affected badly all over. I suffered with a severe backache, indi- gestion and numerous ills, so I could neither eat nor sleep, and I thought I would give up my work, which I could not afford to do. “One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try it, and I procured a boitle the same day. I used it faithfully and felt a marked improvement. During the next two months I took five bot- tles, and then felt splendid. Now my head is clear, my nerves are steady, I enjoy food, and rest well. Peruna has been worth a dollar a dese to me.”— D. L. Wallace. Washington, April 24, 1900.

I have nothing but the highest praise for Peruna and recommend it to those ilarly afflicted wherever I can.”— Frances M. Anderson. Grip Poisoned Her Blood. Mrs. T. W. Collins, Treasurer of the Independent Order of Good Templars of Everett, Wash., writes: “After having a severe attack of la grippe I continued in a feeble condi- tion even aiter the doctor called me cured. My blood seemed poisoned. “T also suffered with dyspepsia, and had either to starve or suffer from what I was eating. A neighbor who was using Peruna praised it so highly that she induced me to try it, and I soon found this was what I really needed. “T could soon eat my regular meals witl relish, my system was built up, my- health returned, and I have re- mained in excellent strength and vigor now for over two years.”—Mrs. T. W. Collins. Miss Alice Dressler, of 1313 N.

Catarrh of the throat and head followed, and as I was in a weak con- dition physically previous to this, it took but little to break me down com- pletely. One of my college friends, who was visiting me, asked me to try Peruna and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. It not only cured me of the catarrh, but re- stored me to perfect health.”—Alice Dressler, If you do not derive prompt and satisiactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

What Has Been Done by Premier Green- way, Himself a Leading Farmer, Hon, Thomas Greenway, Premier of the Province of Manitcba, one of the foremost farmers of Western Canada, writes an excellent article to the press, from which the following extracts are made: The writer came to Manitoba from Ontario in the autumn of 1878, and has ever since been engaged in agricul- tural pursuits. From the day, nearly twenty-two years ago, when he seJect- ed his homestead, he has had unbound- ed faith in the country as a place where farming can be successfully car- ried on, if pursued upon proper lines. There is a large number in this prov- ince who should rather be called “wheat-growers” than farmers, On account of the facilities, natural ad- vantages, and therefore cheapness with which wheat can be grown, no doubt many have done exceedingly well by raising wheat only; still, it is far from ideal farming. Not only Will such a course, if persisted in, Day. the effect of causing the land io rur out, as has been the experience of these who pursued the same plan 1 the wheat-producing prairie States to the south of us, but it is far from be- ing the most profitable course to adopt, This fact is already being demon- strated in Manitoba. Let the farms in this Western country be managed upon the lines which were successful in the Eastern Provinces, and much more can be done here in a given time than was ever done im the East, The proba- bilities of failure are practically nil. Upon the farm there should be found horses, cattic, sheep, hogs and poultry, according to the ability of the farmer, with respect to his means and the ex- tent of his holding. The wanton waste which has hitherto been practiced by many farmers, that of burning vast quantities of excellent fodder after threshing is done, should cease; it should all be used upon the farm and converted into the old, sensible kind of fertilizer manure, and afterwards be returned to the soil, so that what has been taken from it hy the crop may be restored. Althougk admitting that the great natural fertility of the soil in Manitoba and the success that has attended the growing of wheat after wheat for years upon the same land have a tendency to make such a course as the one mentioned tempting, yet, if continued, wheat growing upon the same land year after year is un- doubtedly a mistake, The writer knows of no country that offers advantages so great tothe agri- culturist as does Manitoba, The va- rious branches of farming can be car- ried on successfully, as twenty-two years of practical operations and ob- servations of What others are doing have proven, To those desiring to make new homes for themselves, the low price of some of the best lands in the world (although rapidly advancing in price this year) offers still great opportunities. To all such the invita- tion is cordially given to “Come and see.” There need be no poor people here. There is land for all who choose to come, land upon which happy homes can be established, and ‘from which ample resources can be gather- ed against old age. All that a man needs to achieve competence in this domain is common sense and industry. With these qualifications he is bound to succeed.
