@ CONSTANTLY increasing number of physicians prescribe Peruna in their regular practice. It has proven its merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so called patent medicines and recommend it to their patients. I Advise Women to Use Pe-ru-na,”” Says Dr. Gee. Dr. M. C. Gee is one of the physicians who endorse Peruna. In a letter written from 513 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal., he says: “There is a general objection on the part of the practicing physician to advocate patent medicines, but when any one medi- cine cures hundreds of people, it demon- strates its own value and does not need the endorsement of the profession. ““Peruna has performed soj)many ). wonderful cures in San Francisco that 1 am convinced that it is a valuable remedy. I have frequently advised its use for women, as I find it insures regular and painless menstruation, cures leucorrheea and ovariantroubles, and builds up the entire system. 1 also consider it one of the finest catarrh remedies I heartily endorse your medi- I. C. Gee, M. D. Mrs. E. T. Gaddis, Marion, N. C., is one of Dr. Hartman's grateful patients. She consulted him by letter, followed his directions, and is now able to say the fol- lowing : “Before I commenced to take Peruna I coule not do any hard work without suffer- ing great paia. I took Peruna, and can say with pleasure that it has done more for me than any other mediciue I have ever taken, Now I am as well as ever; I do all my own work and it never hurts meat all. I think Peruna is a great medicine for woman- kind.''—Mrs. E. T. Gaddis. Women are especially liable to pelvic catarrh, female weakness as it is commonly called. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory 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. Address Dr. Hartman, President of the Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. etna enema seen een PE-RU-NA wet. WOMEN | Says Dr. M. C. Gee, of San Francisco. Peruna occupies a unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as every one will admit, is the cause of one- half the diseases which afflict mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict one-half of the people of the United States. Against All Precedent. “My boy,” he said, as he led the way to the woodshed, “you’ve been very naughty to-day and have annoyed me greatly, but I want to say—” “They all say that,” retorted the boy, who thought he knew what was coming. “I want to say,” repeated the old man, as he reached for the switch, “that this gives me great pleasure.”— Chicago Post. ——— PATENTS.

The Joys and Privileges of Member- ship in London. The stock exchange is, therefore, really a private club, formed for the purpose of dealing in stocks and shares, and it virtually controlls all legitimate trarsactiins of that nature, just as the Turf club controls racing matters, and the Marylebone Cricket club, or “M. C. C.,” is the supreme au thority in the cricket world. It sup- plies a striking instance of the genius of the English people for self-govern- ment, and also of the anomalies aris- ing from the way things in England grow out of all likeness to their orig- inal form, while, owing to the innate conservatism of the English, they re- main wholly unchanged in essence. The original capital of the company has grown from the modest sum of £20,000 in 1801 to a subscribed cap- ital of £240,000, with an authorized debenture capital of £750,000, of which £450,000 is issued, and the shares, which are unlimited, and on which £12 is considered to have been paid, return a dividend of 75 per cent, and command a market price of about £230. These shares can be held only by members of the stock exehange.— Century. He Feels Good. Caddo, Ky., July 20th.—“I believe I could climb a mountain without drawing a long breath” is the way William Ball of this place describes how he is feeling. As Mr. Ball has been on the sick list for a long time, this declaration from him comes as quite a surprise. When asked to explain how he had become so strong in such a short time, he says: “I did ‘have Kidney Trouble very bad, in fact I had to get up four or five times every night to urinate. I had a shortness of breath which dis- tressed me terribly. I was badly used up, and was really of no account for anything. “I used three boxes of Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills and that’s what has made me well. I can sleep all night with- out having to get up. I feel splendid, and as I said before, I believe I could climb a mountain without drawing a long breath. Dodd’s Kidney Pills did it all.” The Butcher and His Hat. “T always thought it paid to be polite until I got into. this business,” re- marked a prosperous retail butcher, “but I find that it costs me about $25 ayear. My trade is with nice people, and when fashionable women come into the shop I have to tip my hat to them. A butcher's fingers are always more or less greasy from handling the meat, and in about a month a new hat is no longer fit to wear. Grease is about the only thing that won’t come out of a derby, and I will be the hat- ter’s best customer until the weather grows warm and I will be able to go bareheaded.”—New York Times. Sarcasm. “I believe,” said the man who had recently moved into tha neighborhood, “that you advertise your establish- ment as a real live grocery?” “You have said it,” replied the gro- cer, with a large, open-faced smile. “Well,” rejoined the new customer, “be that as it may, I wish to state that the cheese I purchased here yesterday was about the liveliest thing I ever encountered.”—Chicago News. “The days are getting longer,” she remarked finally, tiring of the long silence. “Yes,” replied her bashful escort, suddenly inspired. “I noticed that the week you were out of town.”—Syrac- use Herald. AMERICAN ARTISTS. First One Came From Sweden Way Back in 1711. Gustaf Hesselius was the first artist | to land in America, and his son, John j Hasselius, was the first native born American artist. This is the dictum of Charles Hart, a recognized authority, who thus robs John Watson of the first named honor and Benjamin West df the second. The elder Hesselius came to America from Sweden in 1711, with his brother Andreas, who was a clergyman. Hesselius was commissioned to paint | an altar piece and Bible scenes for St. Barnabas church in Maryland. The church was afterwards destroyed and | the paintings were lest. The histori- cal society of Pennsylvania, however. possesses two of his painting: traits of himself and his wife, 1: Mr. Hart is of the opinion that many old picturees still preserved are by him. John Hesselius was a painter of miniatures, many of which are still in| existence. He was a member of the select Philadelphia Dancing assccia- tion, In 1763 he married Mrs. Henry Woodward of Annapolis, where they |) afterward lived. In the early records he seems to have been considered an Englishman. The elder Hesselius was a pupil of | Sir Godfrey Kneller, the English art-| ist. The statements of Mr. Hart re- garding these early American artists | is substantiated by the family chron- icles of Wertmueller, a Swedish artist who came to American in 1794. He painted a portrait of George Washing- ton. In 1801 he married a_ grand- daughter of Gustaf Hesselius. NOT FOR RUSSIA’S BENEFIT. Bjornstjerne Bjornson and Proposed Open Port for Russia. | Bjornstjerne Bjornson has written to the Norwegian paper Morgenbladet, denying the story that he had ever been willing to give Russia a port. He says he wanted Russia to open a port and railway for Russian territory | goods, but on condition that both rail- | way and port remain the property of , Norway; that he was willing to se- cure from Russia entrance to the sea. He concludes: “We have now done | our part of the work, and with that the | slander ought to be too old to be ré- peated.” The paper, in a lengthy article, points out that this is somewhat dif- ferent from what Bjornson originally | in the tenth century. meant, and that Scandinavia has cer- | tainly not constructed the Gellivare- Ofoten railway for the accommodation of Russia, but rather that considera- tion of the latter possibility operated against the building of the line. Bjornson has been made a knight of the first class of the Order of Vasa by King Oscar. OPENING SPITZBERGEN. Norwegians Look for Coal and for Tourist Routes. Engineers Faugen and Falsting of Bergen have gone to Spitzbergen to survey the coal fields. They have with them fifteen men and will prospect in a scientific manner. Faugen has had ten years’ experience in the English coal fields, and is believed to be well qualified for the work. The expedi- tion is backed by English and Norwe- gian capital. The famous Arctic skip- per, Capt. Zakariassen, is master of the vessel which will explore the coast while the prospecting is going on. Engineer Falsting will investigate par- ticularly as to the possibility of open- ing Spitzbergen to tourists. Vessels already make the islands, but the trav- elers want to see still more of the frozen North, and Mr. Falsting will look for harbors and favorable landing places, so that it will be possible to make an extended cruise’through the archipelago. TO CHECK EMIGRATION. Swedish Officials Issuing Circulars De- crying America. As a sample of what is being done in Sweden to prevent emigration, it may be mentioned that Gov. Douglas of Lindkoping province has recently sent to the ministers and communal chairmen within the province a cir- cular letter regarding. emigration, to- gether with a pamphict entitled “How Our People Have It Out There,” in which it is represented that among the principal causes of the great dimen- sions of the emigration to America has assumed is the incorrect understand- ing by the emigrants of the conditions prevailing in this country, principally formed by reports given by persons lo- eated here or visitors to Sweden. These reports, it is claimed, lay more stress upon the advantages than the disadvantages, and fail to refer to those persons who are unsuccessful and succumb. Death of Gen. Hedemann. Lieut. Gen. M. S. F. Hedemann of the Danish army died at Copenhagen June 23 at the age of sixty-seven. He was a son of Gen. Hedemann who dis- tinguished himself in Schleswick in 1848. The deceased entered the army and served with distinction against Prussia in 1864. He was attached to the Russian staff in 1877 in the Russo- Turkish war. Gen. Hedemann also took an active part in politics and sat in both houses of the Danish parlia- ment. MONEY TO MOVE COLLEGE. Sollector Appointed in Connection eh Gustavus Adolphus Institu- } in. The Minnesota conference mission managers have called Rev. A. P. Mon- ten to superintendend the collection of. funds in connection with the proposed removal of Gustavus Adolphus college from St. Peter to the Twin Cities. It has been decided that the endowment fund of $100,000 must be principally | subscribed outside of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Rev. Monten has also authority to assist the committee hav- ing in charge the ¢ollecting of the $250,000 subscribed in the Twin Cities, if the committee desires his help. Rev. Monten was for a number of years pas- tor of the First Swedish Lutheran ns h of St. Paul, and is well known | | MORMONS IN SWEDEN. | | Seeking Converts in the Rural Dis- | tricts With Some Success. The Mormons have concentrated | their efforts on the North-of-Skane’s | rural district, where they seek to en- | list converts to their teachings and | emigrants to the promised land, Utah. | It seems that young girls are most de- sired by the sect. Not a few followers | | have been won, | Sterthing Is Expensive. | Norwegian papers are comparing the | expenses of the parliaments of the | Scandinavian countries and finds noth- | ing creditable to Norway. The stor- thing, containing only 114 members, cost Norway 799,000 kroner in 1900. Denmark in that year expended 427,- | 000 kroner on a riksdag of 180 mem- | bers, while the Swedish riksdag for | the same’year cost but 639,000 kroner. e | Sailors Are Decorated. | Capt. Skjodt of Oscar II. and First | Master de la Laing, have been deco- | rated by Christian IX. for their able seamanship in saving the vessel and | the passengers after the serious acci- dent in mid-ocean, bringing all safely to the Azores. The crosses of knight- hood were presented at a gala dinner given by the directors of the company at Copenhagen. Old Church in Sweden. The church at Hagebyhaga, Oster- goiland, is supposed to be one of the oldest edifices in Sweden, having been built, according to State Antiquarian H. Hildebrand, who recently visited it, It is stated that the paintings in the church are of no particular value and will not be pre- served. Finnish College at Superior. The Finns at Superior have decided | to establish a Finnish college there. The school is to be located in a leased building until sufficient money can be collected to erect new buildings. It is proposed to have three courses, cov- ering theology, literature and business. Professors are to be secured from Fin- land. 2 Norway’s Leprosy Campaign. The active campaign waged against leprosy in Norway is showing the most encouraging results. By isolation and treatment the number of lepers has been reduced from 2,55 in 1870 to 577 in 1900, nearly 75 per cent. In another generation it is hoped that the dread ful disease will be wholly stamped out. FROM OVER THE POND. The telephone line between Helsing- borg and Berlin will be opened Aug. 1. The lockout in Sweden has spread and now includes about 15,000 men in foundries and machine shops. King Oscar is said to be suffering from an incurable-internal disease and that he will probably in the very near future have to undergo a serious oper- ftion. The Sw@lish St. Louis exposition commitige, which was recently ap- pointed by King Oscar, at its first meeting elected Dr. N. G. W. Lager- stedt secretary. The Martin Ekeberg company of Stockholm has sold the patent for making milk meal in the United States to an American company for $250,000. Companies for manufactur- ing milk-meal for Finland and Russia are being organized. A Scandinavian cottagers’ meeting, | the first of its kind, has recently been held at Hvilan’s high school in Malmo- hus Land. The society “Brother Peo- ple’s Welfare” some time ago made an appropriation to enable fifteen Norwe- gian farmers to visit the agricultural meeting at Helsingborg. — The Unpopular Statesman.

The one thing that qualifies‘a person to give advice on any subject is experience — experience creates knowledge. No other person has so wide an experience with female ills nor such a record of success as Mrs. Pinkham has had. Over'a hundred thousand cases come before her each year. Some personally, others by mail. And this has been going on for twenty years, day after day, and day after day. Twenty years of constant success—think of the knowledge thus gained! Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman with. such an experience, especially when it is free. Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, wrote to Mrs. Pinkham when she was: in great trouble. Her letter shows the result. There are actually thousands of such letters in Mrs. Pinkham’s possession. “DEAR Mrs. Prvkuam: —I have been under doctors’ treatment for female troubles for some time, but without any relief.

Almost a year ago the news was flashed under the Atlantic that Madame Rejane, the actress, had-driven a pair of Havana mules in the Champs Elysees. On this drive she wore a Spanish turban and a red and black frock, and the the mules were caparisoned elaborate- -ly, Their ears were trimmed with red silk balls and their shaggy brown coats were covered with red mosquito netting. The mules were hard to manage and Rejane paid for her expe- rience with blisters on her shell pink palms. The mule cart was supposed to go one better the zebra tandem of Anna Held.
