Men of Oxford University Recognized Manly Attitude of Famous Temper- ance Advocate and Enjoyed His Witty Remarks. “ John B, Gough, the famous advo- cate of temperance, went to Great Britain in compliance with numerous demands from press and public. When dents undertook to hiss him off the stage, so determined were they that temperance should not be preached there. After enduring their hisses and cat-calls for about ten minutes, he startled them all by saying: “I can whip every one of you, one at a time.” This statement was cheered, and then the young men began calling one of their chums to go up on the stage. Soon Gough saw a young giant com- ing toward him. As soon as he was in the center of the stage Gough shouted: “This is to be an intellectual battle, and not a physical one. Go on with your speech.” This suited the college men, and they began calling on their big fellow for a speech. He responded by quot- ing the epistle to Timothy, in which Paul recommends “a little wine for thy stomach’s sake”; and from this he deduced an argument in favor of the use of wine. When he had finished, Gough faced the audience and said: “This is not an argument, but a farce. Here is a young English giant, weigh- ing almost two hundred pounds, who has never been sick in his life, who eats five pounds of meat every day, }and who can knock down a bullock with a blow of his fist, standing here | and talking about the need of wine for his stomachs sake. You'll have to send me another man.” The boys cheered Gough and then yelled for another man—this time a senior and their ablest debater. He went to the platform and called at- tention to the fact that Jesus turned water into wine and advocated the use of it. He delivered a speech which met with the approval of his fellow collegians, and they cheered him re- |peatedly. When he had _ finished, Gough said: “This is just the kind of argument that I came here to deliver, ayd was delivering when you interrupted me. You may drink all the wine you can hold, provided it is made out of wat- er, as that wine was.” Cheer after cheer greeted Gough, and he was permitted to go on with |his lecture. He said afterward that they gave lim greater applause than he had ever received from an audience of young men.—Chicago Record-Her- ald Sunday Magazine. | | A Serenade.

This dealer says that bananas ripened on the plant would not be fit for food, be cause the inside of the fruit would then be dry and tasteless, resembling the pith which is to be found on the inside of cornstalks and similar plants. This statement, however, is open to the question as to what “ripe” means. It is probable that by the time the pithy condition has been reached the banana has not only ripened, but has continued farther and gone to seed. Certain it is that travelers return- ing from the tropics tell of having picked bananas fresh from the plants and found them delicious and of supe- rior flavor to those eaten in this country. Poetic Custom of Japan. Among the many pretty customs of the Japanese there is one the Amer- ican nation would do well to take as ap example. t In every well-to-do house there is always one room which fs called “the Chamber of the Inspiring View.” And from its windows some beauty of na- ture may be seen. It is sometimes nothing more than a single cherry tree, a pretty winding path or some picturesque little hill. This is charac: teristic of their simple love of all that is naturally beautiful.

In every country of the civilized world Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they minister to the spir- itual and intellectual needs of the charges committed to their care, but they also minister to their bodily needs. With so many children to take care of and to protect from climate and disease, these wise and prudent Sis- ters have.found Peruna a never fail- ing safeguard. Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters from all over the United States. A recommend re- cently received from a Catholic insti- tution in Detroit, Mich., reads as fol- lows: Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sir: ‘‘The young girl who used the Peruna was sufiering from laryn- gitis and loss of voice. The result of the treatment was most satisfactory. She found great relief, and after further use of the medicine we hope to be able to say she is entirely cured.’’ —Sisters of Charity. The young girl was under the care of the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for catarrh of the throat with good results as the above letter testi- fies. Send to The Peruna Medicine.

Dr. Hartman, one of the best knowm physicians and surgeons in the Unit- ed States, was the first man to form- ulate Peruna. It was through his genius and perseverance that it was introduced to the medical profession of this country.
