eae A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child’s disposition and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered nerves caused by some derangement of the uterine system with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. * ‘When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she can- not do better than to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. Tho children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet, will themselves become quiet.

Uncle Sam's Capitalists. Farmers, as far as actual wealth is concerned, are the capitalists of the United States. The census bureau re- port on the value of farming property of the country, estimates that the 5, 376,657 farms of the United States are worth $16,674,690,247. Of this amount, $3,560,198,191, or 24.4 per cent, repre- sents the value of buildings, and $13,- 114,492,056, or 87.6 per cent, the value ot land and improvements. Farm im- plements and machinery are worth $761,261,550, and live stock is worth $3,078.050,041, making the total farm- ing wealth over $20,514,000,000.—Suc- cess.

It appears that “Box and Cox” has been outdone in the case of two Bos- tonians who lately moved here from the modern Athens and took up their quarters together. One in a little while became a copy holder on a morn- ing paper; the other, a short time af- terward, took a position as private sec- retary, The hours of the former were from 2 p. m. to 5 a. m., while the latter found his time well occupied from 9 a.m.to5p.m. Naturally, their hours of sleeping grew widely different. One turned in at 10 or 11 at night, while the other never took off his boots until 3 or4in the morning. The result was that while the two beds were scarcely a yard apart, the men never by any chance, exchanged a word except on Sunday. For weeks their sole method of communication was by means of polite notes, containing comments, objections and miscellaneous items of interest, laid in the table in the sit- ting room.—New York Post.

Rendered Valuable Aid in\ American War for Independence. It is well known what important ser- vice was rendered by Germans in bringing the war of Independence to a successful issue. The German colon- ists in New York and Pennsylvania were largely represented in the patriot army, and the names of Baron Steuben and Gen. Herkimer are remembered as of officers deserving highest honor. How many of the same nation served against the colonies, sold by German Princes to Great Britain, has only lately been computed. It is now known that these mercenaries, com- prehensively called “Hessians,” be- cause the larger number were from Hesse, formed the larger portion of the English army. The total of these German soldiers sent to America from 1776 to 1782 was 30,067; of these 12,- 562 did not return. As the loss by death was 7,754 there were 4,808 who remained in America, and helped to swell the already large German ele- ment of the country’s population. These not only, but those who re- turhed home, helped, it seems certain, to pave the way for that rapid increase of immigration from Germany which for years after the war was a marked feature in the growth and development of the new nation.—Christian Intelli- Bencer, SERIOUS MIXING OF LETTERS. Carelessness That Must Have Caused Unpleasant Quarter of an Hour. A well-known citizen of Clay Center had been invited to an evening party. He wanted to go, but his wife declared that she had no gown suitable for the occasion, and asked him to send “re- grets” to their hostess. The man went down to his office and penned this facetious note of declination: “We regret that your kind invita- tion must be declined for all the con- ventional reasons, but the real reason is that half the family has nothing to wear. My wife’s latest dress is over three weeks old, and her hat is twelve hours out of date. You will appreciate the hopelessness of the occasion and excuse it.” He thought this pretty good, and he determined to write a note to his wife also explaining that he would not be at home for an early dinner, as she had asked him. He said in this note: ‘I have turned down your invitation because I am going out to another evening party where the guests are not expected to wear anything of im- portance. Sorry I won’t be there to kiss you good night. And then the fool man carelessly sent his wife’s note to the hostess and the hostess’s note to his wife.—Clay Center Times, Witty Speech Cleared Atmosphere. At a Baptist convention recently held in the South the minutes of the first day were recorded by a man of calm and deliberate speech, while one of the speakers of the occasion was a quick-tempered gentleman named French. By some oversight no record was made in the minutes of Mr. French’s words, and when the minutes were read next day Mr. French was quickly on his feet with the remark that he objected to the minutes being accepted. “On what grounds do you object?” questioned the presiding officer. “I object to the English; the re- port is not in good English,” said the gentleman. A pause ensued, while everybody looked at the recording secretary, who slowly rose to his feet: “Well, gentlemen,” he remarked, in calm, deliberate fashion, “I won’t de- fend the English of the report, but I admit there was no French in it.” A burst of merriment greeted his words and the minutes were accept: ed.

Would Make a Difference. When on shipboard J. B. Haggin likes to spend a good deal of his time in the smoking cabin. Often he takes a hand in a game of poker. Not long ago a ‘passenger on a Cunarder in- ‘sisted on standing in the doorway of the smoking cabin, to windward, puffing his pipe. He would neither stay inside nor out, and the fresh At- lantic breeze made things very uncomfortable for the other pas- sengers. Mr. Haggin protested in very vigorous language. “You seem to have overlooked the fact,” said the passenger, insolently, “that this is a ship’s smoking cabin. This is not your own house.” “No,” retorted the Pagific Coast Inillionaire, “if it was you would not be inside of it.” ji EAS REST If there is such a thing as poetry of motion the kangaroo must be in the spring-poem class.

Pe-ru-na Cures a Cold Promptly and Permanently. “TI am glad torecommend Perunaasit has done so much for me. I had been a great sufferer from catarrhal colds un- til I was urged to try Peruna, and I am happy to say that it has entirely cured me. I shall never be without it and most cheerfully recommend it to others who are afflicted as I have been.”— Katherine Dauter, 239 13th St., Mil- waukee, Wis. Most people think the success of Pe- runa depends upon the use of advertise- ments. Undoubtedly the advertise- ments help some. But by far the great- est number of people who hear of Pe- runa, have their attention called to it by a friend. Some one gets cured of chronic ca- tarrh by Peruna. After he iscertain of his cure, he is sure to recommend it to his friends. Friend recommends it to friend and the news spreads from tongue to tongue. All the advertisements in the world could not make Peruna as popular as itis. Peruna cures. That is the rea- son people like it. Peruna cures a very stubborn disease. That is why everyone recommends it. Peruna cures chronic catarrh after all other remedies fail which explains why ru-na Cures, That Is Why the People Like It. All the Advertisement In the[7 World Could Not Make Pe-ru-na| as Popular as It Is. Miss Margaret Donnelly, 21 Webster Place, Brooklyn, N.

People who have been cured by Pe- runa many years ago have been eager to recommend Peruna to their friends ever since. This is the way Pe- runa is advertised. It advertises itself. Its merits are its chief advertisement. Once cured of so distressing and exas- perating a malady ascatarrh, it becomes the duty of every one to pass it along; to call the attention of those who are still victims, to a remedy that rarely fails to cure. when I found myself with a bad case e” catarrh of the head and throat Perune was the first thing that I thought of And my convictions were not wrong, for in a few weeks after using Peruna sys tematically I was entirely rid of thie aggravating and distressing disease, catarrh. “If people knew how efficient Pe runa was for this trouble they woul@ not hesitate to try it. I have all the faith in the world in it, and have neves: known of a case where the person wag not cured in a short time.” —Jennie Dris coll.
