Mme Sehirmacher, a doctor, writing
on woman's work in a French magazine,
says that over 6.300.000 French
women work for their living, well on
for 3,000,000 of whom are married.
Most of these outside workers (over
2,700,000) are employed in factory or
agriculture, including women land
owners. Industrial occupations claim
nearly 2,000,000 more, the cloister 120,000,
the theatre about 12,000 and the
liberal profession 138,460.
The strike in Sweden for sufTrago reform
in the way of universal suffrage
has been a success. Only last week the
Industrial classes in Sweden began a
siriKe in support of free voting. On
Friday the ministry surrendered and
promised compliance In 1904. The next
day everybody was at work. There had
been no disturbance, but the strikers
succeeded in accomplishing their political
reforms, and have been equally
successful in Belgium. It brings the
country face to face with the suspension
of industries and a political cause
had to be very strong to withstand
' that issue.

The great popularity of Peruna as n catarrh
remedy has tempted many people to
imitate l'eruna. A great many so-called
catarrti remedies and catarrhal tonics are
to lie found in many drug stores. Theae
remedies can be procured l>y the druggist
much cheaper thun Peruna. l'eruna can
only be obtained at a uniform price, and
no druggist can get it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted to
substitute the cheap imitations of l'eruna
tor Peruna. It ? done every duy without
