CATARRH OF LUNGS. A Prominent Chicago LaJy Cured by Pe-ru-na. Miss Maggie Welch, Secretary of the Betsey Boss Educational and Benevolent Society, writes from 328 North State street, Chicago, 111., the following glowing words concerning Peruna: "Last fall I caught the most severe cold I ever had in my life. I coughed night and day, and my lungs and throat became so lore that I was in great distress. All cough Miss Maggie Welch. remedies nauseated me, and nothing af forded rae relief until my doctor said rather in a joke, 'I guess Peruna is the only medicine that will cure you.' "I told him that I would certainly try it, and immediately sent for a bottle.

OLD rmi THE ALI FROM "THE AN< BY SAMUEL TAI At length did cross an albatross Through the fog it came; / As if it had been a Christian soul, We hailed it in God's name. It ate the food it ne'er had eat, And round and round it flew The ice did split with a thunder-fit; The helmsman steered us through! And a good south wind sprang up behind; The albatross did follow, And every day, for food or play, Came to the mariner's hollo! In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud, It perched for vespers nine; Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white, Glimmered the white moon-shine. The sun now rose upon thc right Out of the sea came he. Still hid in mist, and 0:1 thc left ' Went down into thc sea. And the good south wind still blew behind; But no sweet bird did follow, Nor any day for food or play Came to the mariner's hollo. Andi had done a hellish thing, And it would work 'em woe; For all averred I had killed the bird That made the breeze to blow! Ah. wretch! said they, tho bird to slay, That made thc breeze to b'ow! About, about, in Tho death-fires Thc water, like I Burnt green, a Pea Des ?Y friend Buggies had goi'.c so far as to put a name to his automobile, uot the name of the maker, "en graved on its various inwards, nor yet the name of Buggies himself, dangling on a pateut leather tag just above the steam. So you can see that he was pretty far gone, as automobillsts go. I think he called it the Pea Green Des perado. The reason I happened to mention Buggies and his machine at all was that he came round the other day and asked me to take a spin in it with him. It seemed to me as though the account of what followed might be interQsting. I can't hope, of course, to stir any one up by a plain black and white story of the* "spin" as I was stirred up, but if I can impart to this tale a hundredth part of what I felt I shall be well repaid. Understand, in the first oplace, that I'm not au automobile man and not used to the machines any way, and that my heart is weak and I have a prejudice-foolish perhaps-agalusf get ting arrested. But Buggies came around and asked me to come along with him, and, as you may have found yourself, there's a good deal in the idea of clattering about the drives in one of the things, ?whether you own it or not, with every one marking you down for having money. If you're careful not to make np too much like a professional chauf feur, you know, they're bound to think you're worth something-an automobile is vulgarly supposed to be a sign of lucre. They all cost pretty high, too. I know how much Buggies's cost, for one-he must have told me a dozen times. v Well, he came around and caught me just as I was feeling particularly perky and daring, any way. He had on a shiuy automobile cap and an Isinglass eyeshade and fine large oily gloves, and he looked just like thc pictures of chauffeurs in the comic papers, drawn as standing at thc pris oners' dock in court, by preference. "Come along with me, old boss," said Buggies, TU take you rattling up the Drive in the Pea Green Desperado and we'll scare all the old ladles out of their wits from here to thc Monu ment." The long and the short of it was that I climbed into his machine, standing outside my house with a crowd around it, watching it gurgle and tremble, and all the neighbors hiding behind their lace curtains and wondering who my expensive friend was. I didn't see them-the neighbors-but I knew they were there. Because I've done it my self. It was a pretty instrument-Bug giest automobile. As you might have guessed from its sobriquet, it was a fine bright green, except the waist of it-as you might say-where you sit and work it. That was red and oily. There wevc a number of shiny lan terns and things stuck over the front slope of it, and down on the prow was a shutter that steam came through. You can see that lt was the bona fide article. We got into it and Buggies grasped some'levers firmly and I curled up my mustache and glanced up at Miss Ouinnes's window -in No. 27 -and wondered if ? she was home. There was a terrific steamy clatter that near ly shook my shoes off, a cloud of smoke dashed into my eyes, and by the time I had assured myself that my head had not been snapped off we were in a strange street. The rate of speed that Buggies was going at was positively sickening. I am willing to swear that when our big fat wheels hit a manhole the whole engine jumped a foot. We went around corners on one wheel, with women fall ing limply Into policemen's arms on the curb, and the policemen shouting at us until their yells sank, to a drone in the distance. We ran over a yellow dog and threw the animal into the air behind us in the most talented fash ion. It landed on the top of a brougham -a rather stylish position for a yellow dog. I noticed these things then, but they didn't appeal to me as interest ing. The most interesting thing just then was the preservation of my life. It was in Buggles's hand-I felt that -and Buggies was about as careless of it as though it was the life of a Rock away oyster. We dashed into the Park on a cum that shot a fan of gravel off of the near wheel and all over a belated May party, which immediately looked to me like a coterie of lands'ldo victims being dug out. A mouuted policeman put his horse at us, but he got in the trail of our gasolene gas, from the exhaust thing in the back, and his horse balked. An old lady, trying to cross the drive ahead, just escaped be ing rolled out by such a close margin that her silk boa was whisked into the near fore wheel and twisted about the spokes while she could have said knife. Try it on an electric fan with a hand kerchief, from behind, and you get the same effect. Later on, Buggies gold, he would get the boa out and put it up in his den with a lot of other relics that he was ia the habit of prying out 3ATROSS. :iENT MARINER." rLOR COLERIDGE.

Bits of little things he'd hit, you know. He admitted that he Avas a sentimental cuss, did Bug gies. Wc went up the West Drive like an express making up time and with about as much noise. Around the corner I saw the Van Doutzcrs coming in a victoria. They are one of th-i families that I really like to bow to, and so, abolishing as much of my fear for my life as I could, I got ready to take off my hat, hoping, I must con fess, that they'd take me for the owner of the Desperado, instead of Buggies. 1 To carry out the idea I just rested my hand on the wheel thing that you steer by. I bowed, but I discoveved, to my horror, that I was bowing to a park policeman-the Van Doutzers must have been whisked by about three blocks back by thc time I got my hat off. All at once there was a frightful : rush of profanity from Buggies, and I noticed that we were richotting on a wonderful anglo up an incline covered with tulip beds. I peeved wildly be hind me-the road was just disappear ing iu the distance between trees and \ the tracks of the automobile among the flowers looked like the first dig gings for a canal. Suddenly we dived ' into a shady grove on the summit. ! There was a tremendous, shivering jar. and I shot head first into a prickly , sort of bush. The Pea Green Desnev ado was trembling and gurgling, head on, against a tree trunk. As for Bug gies, he had traveled some feet further than I had, and landed in a sort of rus tic summer house through the window, cn thc laps of two persons already there. They ware very angry, both of , them, and vanished down tho hill j threatening to have the law on us. I told Buggies that I didn't blame ? them, either-that I had been young myself. He cot mad at that and said , it was all because I'd put my bally hand on the steering gear and switched . the machine off the road, and that he'd "like to have been killed" in con- . sequence. He wanted to know why the deuce I should switch him up on . this hill-did I like the scenery so . much, and would I pay the fine? What's thc usc of arguing with a fel low like Buggies when he's mad, any- ? way? I just kept quiet and got luto '. the machine and sat still, while he . climbed in and backed her up and [ turned her around and tried to start ! her. Eut she wouldn't start. He pulled nil of the levers and things in sight. , but she just stood still and shook. Then ; he got out and crawled in underneath ; among the works, to see what was the mattev. I sat in the waist effect, that was all red and oily. Presently I heard him say from thc , bowels of the machine, as lt were: ! "Are you touchin' anything?" I said, ( "No." Buggies said: "There's a chunk of wood in thc chain-I'm a-goln' to ] pull it out." "Pull away," said I, and I heard him give a grunt. Gee whiz! Thc Desper ado leaped like the arrow froip the bow; I heard a wail of horror from Buggies, and the next thing I knew, . he and the hill were gone, and I was ripping across the sheepfold like the front of a cavalry charge. I don't remember rightly the rest of the trip I made through the Park '. in the Desperado; lt's more of a bad dream than anything else. Tbc*o were crowds that dashed up on walls, yell ing, and mounted police that galloped after, yelling, and horses that sat down on carriage shafts or tried to climb up with the coachman on the box-the coachmen yelling, too. I pulled all the movable bits of brasswave that I saw, but there was no stopping her Then I grabbed the wheel and fiddled about trying to. get the hang of how to steer the blooming thing-plunging for ward all the while, mind you, like a runaway engine. Finally, after a couple of wild runs onto walks and one complete circle, I got that straight, and started on, with a splintered park bench hanging over the prow, but happy, for at least I could put lt to right and left. By this time it was dusk. As the Desperado thundered around another curve, the lake unfolded away down below, on my left. Suddenly I got an Idea. I twisted the wheels, put the machine's nose down the dusty slope and scramhled from my seat. Figuratively, I had washed my hands of all works. I slid over the back of the machine on my waistcoat, and dropped. My lapel caught on a hook. I was jerked in the air, sailed like n bird for twenty feet, broke loose sud denly, and struck the ground hard, but happily. Down below, :n the growing twilight, I saw the Pea Green Desper ado swaying toward the water at light ning speed. A splash, a muffled con cussion-o nd a columD of water shot Into the air. Silence fell. After dinner I got on my hand painted smoking coat that Miss Guinnes gave me last Christmas-I always put it on when I'm in a chastened mood and smoked a pipe by the fire, walting for Buggies. I knew he would come If he was aUrS ----1 The first thing he said when he ai rived was: "Where's the Green Desperado?" Hi said it quite fearlessly, too, altlunjgr^ I couldn't so much as hear tharnain/ without shuddering. I told him, though. "In tho lakeP he ejaculated, bound lng out of his chair. "And a good thing, too," I said, sol emnly. "I looked forward to seeinj you dead to-night, Buggies-dead flattened! That devilish machlm made my whole past come up in rn] mind, and, by gorry, lt was up to tin Desperado to finish." "But my money!" cried Buggies pa thetically. I always thought he wa? a paper sport. I should have Imagined he had a pretty good run for his monej that afternoon. I said nothing, however. Inwardly, I confess, I was a little pleased. Buggies had lost his automobile, and I couldn't see how he was any better than I was now.-New York Evening Sun. BEES KILLED A CHICKEN. Insects Object to Black anil to Blue!; G'.uiiccocltft in Particular. Bees arc opposed to black as a color. Whether this is because they dislike a symbol of mourning, think black typifies a cloud or consider it the emblem of death is not known, bul the fact remains that bees do nol hesitate to display their hatred foi things black upon the slightest pro vocation. I. JJ. Richards, proprietor of the Achnie Apiaries, at Littleton, can testify to this with regret. Richards ls a chicken fancier as well as a bee expert. He has some of the finest chickens in Colorado, and not long ago made up his mind to have more. He bought some imported chickens from Hong Kong and paid a fancy price for them. One great beruffled cock cost him $S3, and was ns black as a piece of coal, save for one red mark on its back. Richards proudly took the big foreigner from Its box and showed it to his friends with exultation. Then ho set it free in the chicken yard. The beehives occupy a corner of this yard, and have never caused any trouble. But with the advent of the black rooster the living emblems of Industry rebelled. Richards went back to see his new pet half an hour later, and was amazed to see the 3*ard in a terrible com motion. The great chicken, which had stalked so proudly about his new home a few moments before, to the wonder of the old chickens, was now in pitiful distress. It rushed frantic ally about the inclosure, squawking strangely and flapping its wings in desperation. Around it swarmed 1000 bees. Viciously they darted at the unfortunate fowl. They struck it half a hundred at a time. Richards was about to rush to the rescue of his favorite, when he realiz ed tho folly of such an undertaking. He stood helplessly by wMiilc the angry little honey makers stung the black China cock to death. The bewildered stranger from across thc seas dashed vainly about for a few minutes, to the alarm of tho other chickens. It struck out with Its wings and feet. Turn as it would, it could not escape the infuriated bees. At last it fell, and the relentless winged torturers settled upon ii, until its body was nearly covered. Richards waited until the bees went back to their hives. Then he carefully wrapped the dead cock In a sack and carried it away for burial. Since then he has never tried black chickens In his yard. Denver Times. A Sano View oT Mad Anthony. In Harper's, John R. Spears demon strates that General Wayne, commonly known as "Mad Anthony," was in real ity the sanest, coolest soldier in Wash ington's Army. "They called thc hero of Stony Toint ind the Maumce Rapids 'Mad Anthony Wayne,' " says Mr. Spears. "The title was originated by an Irish soldier who had been confined In thc guardhouse at the order of the General, and it. was taken up by the people because of thc wild enthusiasm and determination with which Wayne led his men when tho supremo moment of battle came. Biu observe that when the War of the Revolution impended he 'ransacked his tory' for accounts of battles that he might learn military tactics; and he gave his days to the training of his QCighbors. At Stony Toint he led his men in spite of his wound, but In pre paring for the battle he appealed to the pride of his men by parading them 'clean shaved and with hair well powdered,' while the prelaid plans included even thc slaughter of the Jogs, that no yelp should betray the approach of the assaulting host. When In Virginia he charged the hosts of Cornwallis with only H00 men to back him; when in Ohio, where the honor ot the Nation and the integrity of its territory were committed to his care, he took a legion of 'boys and mis creants' gathered from the slums, and trained them until their skill with the musket equalled If it did not surpass that of the most noted backwoods In dian-fighters. " 'Mad Anthony Wayne* as a leader In battle was unsurpassed; but it should also be remembered that his record as a drill-master ls unequalled." Snobs, Cads and Bounders. A knot of men at a eiub were trying to define the exact meaning of the abovo terms, and this was the general idea: A snob is a mildly pretentious per son, negative rather than positive, whose antics raise a smile but rarely excite anger. He may be extremely well dressed or he may be a sloven; general^- speaking, he is a bore. A cad is a more active and militant character, whose entrance in a club causes some dismay, but noe a revolt. In alluding to him ns a bore some rather warm adjective is prefixed, part ly because he is difficult to evade, partly because he is apt to say or do something for which he deserves to be kicked, and the practical impossibility of doing so Irks the others present. He is very deleterious to large eaters after dinner, since he arrests digestion and sends thc blood to the head. Thc bounder is what might bc called a gorgeous cad, beside whom a snob is rest and comfort. His briskness re duces you to aphasia and temporary cerebral anaemia; his laugh curdles your blood. You cannot be charitable to a bounder; charity stops right there. He empties clubs and causes ruin to corporations and vestries by the vio lence of the passions he arouses. A noisy, screaming, superfluous peacock of a cod is a bounder, such as many a captain of a liner has longed to put in irons, for, weirdly enough, he is apt to escape seasickness in order to harass mankind when most helpless. - New York Times.

Details of the Process, Long Regarded as a Trade Secret. The manufacture of an incandescent slectric lamp is of special interest be cause many of the operations have heretofore been regarded as trade sec rets and carefully kept from the pub lic. The delicate filaments which pro luce the light are formed by squirting i paste made from cellulose (wood pulp) through dies, from which it emerges in the form of fine threads, tvhlch when dry are tough and flexi ble. These thread before they are dry are formed into the desired shape. They are then packed in carbon ilust and subjected to intense heat for many hours. The cellulose is com pletely charred, and the filament now practically consists of charcoal. It is then suspended in an atmosphere of hydrocarbon vapor, in a vessel in which a partial vacuum has been made and a current of electricity sufficient to bring it to incandescence is sent through it. This decomposes the hy drocarbon, and a carbon soot some what resembling graphite is deposited sn the filament. This is technically known as "flashing." After this treatment the filament has a metallic lustre resembling polished steel. The glass bulbs are blown in molds to secure absolute uniformity, and as they come from the glasshouse they are perfectly smooth at the rounded end, and have a long open neck. To the rounded end ls fused a short length of glass tubing opening into the interior of the bulb. This ls subse quently used for connecting the bulb to the exhaust pump. For making the connection tt ough the glass between the carbon filament and the wire the most satisfactory ma terial is platinum, because it adheres firmly to fused glass and because it expands and contracts at the same rates. If this were not tho case when it. got hot through the passage of thc current it would either expand more or loss than the surrounding glass, and either break it or make a space through which air would leak. So through the little glass stopper which will eventually project down into tho ueck of the bulb are fused two plati num wires. This stopper, which has a flange at one end, is now oalled the mount or stem. Next the filament is fastened to the ends of the platinum which projects from the stem. This is accomplished by means of a special cement which will stand a red heat. Over this paste ls deposited a layer of carbon. The paste is then dried In an oven, and the stem, with Its attached filament, Is fastened onto the bulb by fusing the flange on its upper end about the neck of the bulb, After this joint is carefully tested to be sure there are no leaks, the ex haustion of the air is accomplished by means of a mechanical air pump, the last traces of gas or air being removed ' from the bulb by chemical means. When the vaccum is sufficiently high the tube through which the air has been exhausted is sealed off by moans of a small lamp, leaving the small round tip seen on the spherical end of the finished lamp. . The lamp Is now practically com pleted and is sent to the testing de partment. Here it is subjected to a series of severe tests before It is con sidered ready for the market. If It passes these successfully the base (the portion by means of which It is screwed into a bracket) is cemented on, and the completed lamp goes to the shipping department.-The Electrical World. A Bath For Your Telephone. To disinfect your telephone trans mitter, says The Chicago ?rlbune, get a bottle of alcohol and a sponge. Wash the transmitter and receiver daily. This is the advice of the Health department to telephone subscribers who want to guard against the possi bility of contagion through the use of the instrument. Dally baths are necessary If the recipe is to be worth anything. The first act after reaching your office and opening your desk should be to wash the transmitter. Then you may open your mail. There is a possibility ol contagion, it is asserted. Aside from this, the daily wash is a sensible sani tary precaution which can be taken with little or no trouble and expense. THAT WISE DISCOVERER.
