HON. JOHN TIGHE, Assemblyman Tighe's letter should be read by every brain worker leading @ strenuous life. Hon. John Tighe, No. 98 Remsen St., Cohoes, N. Y., Member of Assembly from the Fourth district, Albany county. N. Y., writes as follows: ‘“‘Peruna has my hearty indorsement as a restorative tonic of superior merit. At times when I have been completely broken down from ey of work, so that my faculties seemed actually at a standstill, Peruna has acted asa _heal- ing restorer, starting the machinery of mind and body afresh with new ‘life and energy. “I recommend it to a man tired in mind and body as a tonic superior to anything I know of and well worthy serious consideration.”—J. Tighe. Ex of work so common in our country causes impaired nerves, leading to catarrh and catarrhal nervousness— a disease that is responsible for half of all nervous troubles. Peruna cures this trouble because it cures catarrh wherever located. if you do not derive prompt and satis- factory 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 ad- vice gratis.

A Chicago man has invented what he calls an “automatic cashier,” which is just what he calls it. This machine threatens to put the “short change” artist out of business, and prevent any possibility of error on the part of cashiers who hand out huge quantities of cash each day to cus- tomers. The inventor is afraid to claim that his machine will put the pretty girl cashiers in restaurants and hotels out of position, but he claims it will en- able any one to make change correct- ly without thinking, and may thus enable the restaurants to hire even prettier girls to preside behind the counters and draw trade, besides giv- ing them more time to converse with the customers. This machine makes change auto- matically. A customer who owes a 73 cent bill hands in $5. The cashier drops the check and the bill into the machine, pushes a button, and from out of the machine drops $4.27. Receiver and Transmitter. There is not a great deal of effort expended in the operation of holding a conversation over the telephone and, therefore, it might be assumed that there could be no improvement made in the apparatus with a view of sim- plifying the business, but with most of the instruments now in use it is necessary to make some notes, as is often the case, the proceeding is some- what awkward to conduct with a sin- gle hand. ‘ Some telephone equipment’ have been made with a combination receiv- er and transmitter, but these must be held in the hand and do not simplify matters to any extent, but two Balti- more men have recently put on the market a combination which has, among its recommendations the fact that it is possible to make use of the instrument without the use of either hand. This apparatus is shown in the accompanying cut. The transmitter is is fixed, and as one stands in front of it in order to carry on a conversa- tion it is the work of a second to place the hinged receiver at a point convenient to the ear; thus both hands are left entirely free. In appearance, this equipment rep- resents a radical departure from the more familiar instruments, but this is a matter which one could soon be- come accustomed to. There are no changes whatever in the principle of the telephone system. Success of Liquid Fuel. A successful method las finally been invented for injecting liquid fuel into the furnaces of passenger boats. The fuel is brought under a pressure ot from ten to twenty pounds to the square inch and evaporated by a somewhat modified ‘“Kortings” burn-. er, without use of steam. This appa- ratus works very satisfactorily, with- out noise and without the loss of fresh water. Formerly he liquid fuel was injected into the furnaces by means of a steam jet, making very much noise, a great inconvenience, annoying to the passengers and caus- ing the loss of much fresh water in the form of steam. A suitable furnace arrangement, recently invented also, guarantees proper and perfect burn- ing of the fuel, so that very little smoke escapes from the funnel, steam is kept regularly at the same pres- sure during the voyage, and the boil- er is kept at a uniform temperature, thus preventing much trouble from leakage and other damage. Valuable White Sapphire. What is believed to be the largest white sapphire ever discovered has just been brought to Berlin by M. Heppmer, a German engineer, who has resided for many yeavs in Brazil, where he possesses several mines. Before cutting the stone weighed 1,250 carats, but a flaw caused the cleavage of a piece weighing 400 carats. This piece will produce a cut stone of 100 carats. That cut from the larger piece weighs 418 carats, is two inches in length and one inch and a half wide and thick. Side Doors on Street Cars. In few places is the value of sec- onds more forcibly demonstrated than in the handling of the homeward- bouhd crowds in large cities. Experi- ments looking toward better* time have recently shown that a great por- tion of the aggregate time is lost in stops, and side doors on the cars promise the greatest relief. In recent tests the stops on a train thus equip- ped averaged 7.6 seconds as compared with an average of 37 seconds on trains fitted onJy with end doors. . How a Comfortable Nook May Be Made Artistically Beautiful. Who was the first possessor of 4 cosy corner? An ape, a gorilla, or a man? We have all read of the lion and his den, and other.wild animals having their exclusive places of re treat, and now comes a man with his animal nature cropping out of him, and even passing his semi-barbarian days, he, too, wants a cosy corner, or a place of retreat, where he can go all by himself and spend an even- ing to read a book or to smoke a “two-fer.” The cosy corner has be- come an artistic necessity in the modern home; so much:so that hun- dreds of dollars are sometimes spent in their construction and the fixing up of such places. The accompany- ing design is built on a wood frame, using 1x3 stuff. The frame is sup A Cosy Corner. ported by copper wire running from the outer edges to a large screw eye in the corner. The background above the shelf is rich red burlap in solid color. The panel effect is made by sewing on a three-inch strip of green burnt leather. Suitable pic- tures and antique fixings are also hung on the wall above the shelf. The wall below the shelf is dark green burlap stitched tight. The couch is six feet three inches long. It is upholstered; but usually looks best with a “ka-zak” couch cover thrown over it. The grille effect at the top is red leather with gilt balls suspended between dia- monds. This work of art is sold by the foot and comes in all colors. Monk cloth in solid green is used for the roof, the curtains being looped back. To the right and left are a pair of oriental portieres. The overdraperies are of solid color green velour fringed with red and green. The rest of the design sufficiently shows the method of treatment. Table Novelties. Novelties for use in the household or on the table are continually mak- ing their appearance, and most of them are of that appeals to the average house a practical character mistress. Among the recent addi- tions to the list are the two here pictured. One is a white porcelain lemon squeezer in a metal frame and the other a pickle jar and fork. The distinctive point about the latter, which is simple in shape and. easy to clean, is the handle, which is so ar. ranged that it drops back and forms a holder for the cover. This is a con- venient arrangement, as it is not al- ways an easy matter to satisfactorily dispose of the pickle jar cover. Poultry Dressing. A delicious stuffing for chicken or turkey is made, by taking two scant teacupfuls of stale bread crumbs. one-half pint of oysters, drained and cut in half. Season with a little salt and pepper, celery salt, one table spoonful of butter, one-half teaspoon: ful of sweet créam to moisten the crumbs and one well beaten egg. It will take three cupfuls of stuffing to fill an ordinary sized fowl. Chestnut stuffing is also delicious. It is made by taking one pint of chestnuts that have been peeled blanched and boiled till slightly salted water. Drain them over the fire and mash fine; moisten with one tablespoonful of thick sweet cream, season with salt, white pepper and a little nut- meg. Then mix in two tablespoonfnuls of melted butter and one cupful of bread crumbs. Garnish the dish with whole boiled chestnuts and a brown sauce. Sure of One Thing. ‘ “I see here that a Chicago judge has decided that a milliner is not an artist.” “T can’t say, my.dear. But I’m quite certain about one thing.” “And what’s that?” “The person wha makes out the milliner’s bills is an artist all right, all right.” tender ip That's the Answer. “I ean’t understand why you're so much more clever than I.” “Sure you can’t. If you could I wouldn't be!” . The Game of Kings. Lady Playmore (whispering sub rosa)—“His majesty seems slightly embarrassed over something.” Lord Jester—“Ah! A roya! flush!” | | RAI RATE LEGISLATION. T ing before the Senate Com- mittee at Washington, Inter-State Commerce Commissioner Prouty said in discussng the proposition to give to that Commission the power to regu- late railway rates: “I think the railways should make | their own rates, I think they should be allowed to develop their own busi- ness. I have never advocated any law, and I am not now in favor of any law, which would put the rate making power into the hands of any commission or any court. While it may be necessary to do that some time, while that is done in some states at the present time, while it is done in some countries, I am opposed to it. * * * The railway rate is property. It is all the property that the railway has got. The rest of its property is not good for anything un- less it can charge a rate. Now it has always seemed to me that when a rate was fixed, if that rate was an un- reasonable rate, it deprives the rail- road company of its property pro tanto. It is not necessary that you should confiscate the property of a railroad; it is not necessary that you should say that it shall not earn three per cent or four per cent. When you put in a rate that is inherently unreasonable, you have ceprived that company of its rights, of its property, and the Circuit Court of the United Stetes has jurisdiction under the four- teenth amendment to restrain that. * * '* Thave luoked at these cases a great many times, and I can only come to the conclusion that a rail- |road company is entitled to charge a fair and reasonable rate, and if any order: of a commission, if any statute of a state legislature takes away that rate, the fourteenth amendment pro- tects the railway company.” Not a Capitalist, Lady—What? You've just come out of prison? I wonder you are not ashamed to own it. Ne’er-do-Well—Well, I don’t own it, lady—I wish I did. I was merely a lodger.—Chicago Journal. The Embittered Chauffeur. Loafcr—There was an awful crowd here. in the strest last night when it was rumored that the Palace hotel was on fire—crowd reached from curb to curb. Chauffeur—Yes, but they'd all scat- tered an’ gone before I could git steam up in th’ boss’ tonneau. AN AWFUL SKIN HUMOR. Covered Head, Neck ard Shoulders— Suffered Agony for Twenty-five Years Until Cured by Cuticura. “For twenty-five years I suffered ag- ony from a terrible humor, complete- ly covering my head, neck and shoul- ders, discharging matter of such of- fensiveness to sight and smell that Ll became an object of dread. I con- sulted the most able doctors far and near to no avail. Then J got Cuti- cura, and in a surprisingly short time I was completely cured. For this 1 thank Cuticura, and advise all those suffering from skin humors to get it and end their misery at once. S. P. Keyes, 149 Congress Stieet, Boston, Mass.” Not Ready for Incineration. He was evidently a stranger in Bos- ton and he dashed to the New Haven ticket office window and gasped. “Gimme—ticket—Forest Creamatory.” “Round trip?” queried the - agent vith great deliberateness. “Well I'l be d—d!” shouted the traveler. “Do I Jook as if I was going out there to be fried?”—Boston Trav- eler. Cattle Ship Etiquette. Our foreman was a sharp-eyed, quick tempered, but generally good natured man. On a previous trip he had sent an awkward young chap for- ward for a pitchfork. The boy fell overboard and was drowned before the vessel could be stopped. The fore- man swore for three days because he had taken the pitchfork with him. An- other story was told 6f a dispute with a “stiff” because he could not work, being terribly sick. The foreman kicked him with such violence thet two ribs were broken. Naturally, with such a reputation, the cattlemen obey- ed him promptly.—National Magazine. It Pays to Read Newspapers. Cox, Wis., June 12.—Frank M. Rus- sell of this place had Kidney Disease so bad that he could not walk. He tried doctors’ treatment end many dif- ferent remedies, but was getting worse. He was very low. He read in a newspaper how Dodd's Kidney Pills were curing’ cases of Kidney Trouble, Bright's Disease and Rheumatism, and thought he would try them. He took two boxes, and now he is quite well. : He says: “I can now work all day, and not fecl tired. Before using Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills, I couldn't walk across the floor.” Mr. Russell's is the most wonderful case ever hnown in Chippewa courty.

I got the receipt from that new cookery book that came as a wedding present, and the instructions are real- | ly most clear. Handy, isn’t it, a book like that- I’m sure the thing will turn out a success.” Edwin smiled a dubious sort of Abys- sinian gold smile, and temporized about the success as he looked at the souffle. “Can't say I like it,” he said, after the first mouthful. “Sure you got the instructions right, darling? It tastes very funny.” ‘ “Oh, yes,” responded Angelina, with tears in her eyes. “I can say them by heart from the book—just hear me,” and she reached down the volume. “Take half a pound of grated al- monds—” “Quite right,” interjected Edwin, fol- lowing with his finger. “One pound of caster sugar, mix well with the whites of three fresh eggs—” “Correct,” said her spouse, as she continued breathlessly: “Add two ounces of white pepper—” “Pepper! Great goodness!” said the unhappy man, as he turned over the leaf. “Two Jarge carrots chopped into dice, a spoonful of mustard, four chop- ped onions, and—” “Stop, stop! You must be wrong, I’m sure. Why, my dear,I thought so. You are muddling up almond souffle with Irish stew.’ You've forgotten to cut the leaves of this blessed cookery book.” ts Marriage a Disease? Sometimes it seems as though the anti-divorce enthusiasts were not as scientific in their methods as_ they should ve. The great, abounding cause of divorce is, of course, marriage, and marriage, therefore ,is the thing to in- vestigate. First, then, is marriage a germ disease? We have considered this question a long time, getting no further with it, but the scientific in- vestigators will be able to tell us. And if it is a germ disease, they can catch the germ, and the germ once caught, they can get cultures and compose antitoxins which will strip this common and serious complaint of most of its terrors. And, of course, once we get marriage under control, we shall be in a position to regulate absolutely scientific, if there is any divorce left to regulate—Harper’s Weekly. PATENTS.
