of the United States Navy, ina letter from 1837 R. Street, North- west, Washington, D. C., says: “Your Peruna has been and is now used by so many. of my friends and ecquaintances as a sure cure for ca- tarrh that I am convinced of its cura- tive qualities and I unhesitatingly rec- ommend it to all persons suffering from that complaint.’’ Our army and our navy are the natural protection of our country.

A West Virginia lawyer was trying case before the jury, being counsel for the prisoner, a man charged with distilling “mountain dew.” The judge was very hard on him, and the jury brought in a verdict of “guilty.” The awyer then moved for a new trial. The judge denied the motion, and remarked: he jury and court think the pris- oner both a fool and a knave.” After a moment's silence the lawyer answered: “The pr he is perfectly sat tried by his peer oner wishes me to say that fied he has been First were invented weapons of stone; then came those of bronze, iron, steel and words, in the order named.

The arm rest that the bookkeeper finds so useful in writing up his ac- counts has been duplicated in modified .j form for the benefit of the individual who has to use a notebook to any ex- tent. Many collectors, solicitors and others having work of a similar char- acter are required to make frequent entries in pocket-size notebooks while resting these either on their hands or knees. This is obviously very incon- venient, and a German inventor has devised an improvement in notebooks which he believes overcomes this dif- ficulty, at least, to a great extent. In- side the book cover he provides wire guides extending lengthwise. Upon these guides a stiff handrest slides, having its edges so arranged that ‘it cannot be entirely disengaged. Two of these handrests are provided, one on each cover. When not in use they are concealed by the book cover. In making entries the upper portions of the note leaves the handrest is not essential, but when thése entries have to be made on th lower half of the leaf their use does much ‘to- facilitate neatness and legibility. The stenog- rapher’s familiar notebook accom- plishes much the same result by sim- ply binding the leaves on the short end and manipulating the leaf upon which the record is being made so that the hand is never without sup- port. Chain on the Rule. The carpenter probably uses his two-foot rule about as often as any other tool and accordingly mislays it a proportionately larger number of times. If he does not mislay it, it is lost by falling from his pocket, even though up-to-date overalls have a spe- cial pocket designed as a rule recep- tacle. An ingenious New York man, however, proposes to manufacture rules in which the main joint, or hinge, carries a stem and loop de- signed to be attached by any of the common methods to the suspender buttons. If.the mechanic’s wife does not keep his suspender buttons up to the regulation number, he, of course, can utilize any other button that is convenient. The attaching device is much like that used on the key chains that had such a vogue several years ago, and which still constitutes a sta- ple article of trade of the small ped- dler. The stem and loop are so de- signed that they do not interfere with the opening of the rule members to their fullest extent. In other respects the rule does not differ from the stand- ard article. The New York inventor of this improvement in design claims that its embodiment does not inter- fere with the convenient and ready use of any rule. New Tortosa Observatory. The new observatory of physical as- tronomy at Tortosa, in Catalonia, is one of the finest of the kind. One of the chief objects of the authorities of the new institution is to discover the relations which may exist between magnetic, electric and solar disturb- ances. These phenomena are to be registered at once and regularly so they may be studied seriously. Of the seven buildings in the establishment two are devoted to magnetism, one of which is reserved for instruments of variation and the other is used for ab- solute determinations. Another of the buildings is devoted to meteorology and electricity, another to seismology, and one pavilion is entirely given over to physical astronomy. All these var- ious departments are well supplied with the most modern apparatus and inventions for the study ct the various subjects, and all that is now desirea is a monthly record of the work of this observatory for the benefit of the world at large.

Where a festoon drapery is to be ar- ranged, it is a good idea to have the drapery salesman or decorator sketch designs on paper, which should ad- here rigidly to the. architectural pro- portions and other furnishings of the room. By this method you can see on paper exactly the effect desired before cutting into the material. From my personal experience I have found this to be a practical and very satisfactory plan. There are fads in lace curtains and window decorations as well as in la- diés’ hats—and most women, as we know, will insist on wearing the lat- est fad in headgear, even though she looks like an idiot in it. The hat on the head no doubt should be very beautiful, but there’s something the matter with the head. The curtains which she selects for her windows may also be the very latest fashion, and yet may not be becoming to her ‘particular style of house. There are usually enough new things to suit al) styles of architecture and furnishings, and it is always advisable to consider these vital points when making a se sonnection between New Orleans and | the isthmus.

A description of the accom panying design may make a little clearer the point at issue. It. repre sents a bay window in a library, the leather valance at the top is a “new” idea. It is especially suited to a room in which leather is prominent in the Window Draperies. furnishings. The lace curtains are Arabian “bonne femme” style in the wide and the narrow to match. The side curtains are made of chameleon taffeta (a changeable linen-like stuff) with three bands of burnt leather sewed across the bottom. The opening from the hall into this room is curtained with a leather por- tiere. King and Apple Man. When London did not extend so far as Knightsbridge, George II, as he was one morning riding, met ‘an old soldier who had served under him at the battle of Dettingen; the king ac- costed him, and found that he made his living by selling apples in a small hut. “What can I do for you?” said the king. “Please, your majesty, to give to me a grant of the bit of ground my hut stands on, and I shall be happy.” “Be happy,” said the king, and or- dered him his request. Years rolled on, the apple man died, and left a son, who from dint of indus- try became an attorney. The then chancellor gave lease of the ground to a nobleman, as the apple stall had fall- en to the ground, where the old apple man and woman laid also. It being conceived the ground had fallen to the crown, a stately mansion was soon raised, when the young at- torney put in claims; a small sum was offered as a compromise and refused; finally, the sum of $2,250 per annum, ground rent, was settled upon.—Stray Need Less Oxygen Than Men and Al- & ready Have Coid Feet. Thre women are gcolig with Peary on ‘his polar exploration trip. But they are only booked for a part of the way, When the real difficulties may be ‘expected they will turn back to warmth and civilization. is is disappointing.. If women want to put a stop to such accusations as that recently made by Labouchere, that they cannot fight and therefore should not vote, they ought not to back out of such expeditions as that of Peary By nature, women are adapted to discovering the poles. The scientists tell us that women breathe with the upper part of their lungs and need less oxygen than men. That is why they can stand ‘corsets and keep warm in diaphanous garments when a man wants a summer overcoat. That is why they are so partial to ices. That is why they seldom complain of cold feet after tripping through the slush in slippers. What is needed, in order to speedily find the North pole, is an expedition whose members won’t get cold feet.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Gratitude Well Expressed. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Aug. 14th.— Mr. C. L, Smith, painter and decora- tor, Whose home is at 309 Anne street, this city, makes the following state ment: “I was laid up with some kind of pains. Some said it was Lumbago, other Sciatica and others again Rheu- matism. A few of my friends sug gested that it was lead poison, but whatever it was it gave me a great deal of pain; in fact, almost complete- ly crippled me. I had to use two canes to walk about, and even then it was a very painful task. “A friend advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and I began the treat- ment. After I had used the first box 1 was able to throw away one of the canes and was considerably improved. The second box straightened me up so that I could go about free from pain without any assistance, and very soon after I was completely cured, well and happy, without a pain or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed to go right to the spot in my case and they will always have my greatest praise.” Of Course.

The Rev. Frank W. Sandford of Shiloh, Me., otherwise known as “Elijah,” was a student at Bates col- lege a number of years ago. While there he was quite noted as third base- man on the ‘varsity team. A short time after his graduation, when the alumni were to play te un- dergraduates, he was invited to “hold down” his old position as third base- man. He declined the offer, saying that he was “now making home runs for God.” The professor who was thaking the arrangements wrote to him the sec- ond time, saying: “All right, Frank; but be very careful not to get put out while sliding home.” . The Future Bargains. “Yes,” said the dry goods merchant, “it is true that we propose to establish a hospital as an adjunct to our store.” “To treat the victims of bargain rushes?” was asked. “Yes, but that is merely a begin- ning.

Could any amount of mere talk have persuaded millions of ‘housekeepers to use Lion Coffee, the leader of all package coffees for over a quarter of a century, if they had not found it superior to all other brands in Purity, Strength, Flavor and Uniformity ? This popular success of LION COFFEE can be due only to inherent merit. There is no stronger proof of merit than con- tinued and increasing popularity.
