CATARRH THIRTY YEARS. The Remarkable Experience c' a Prominent Statesman?Congressife. man Meekison Gives Pe-ru-na a High Endorsement. Congrcsa .Meekison of Ohio. Hon. David Mcckison is well known not only in his own State hut throughout America. He wri elected to the Fiftyfifth Congress by a very large majority, and ih the acknowledged lender of hia party in hie aection of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this riding statesman. Catarrh. with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal onemv. At last Peruna came to the rescue. Ho writes: "/ have used several bottles of 1*erun.it ant 1 feel great! y benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head.

An exchange said that the highest tribuate ever paid to Kentucky marksmanship was th?' remark of Judge Parker, of the Lexington Circuit Court, who said: "If every spot where a man has fallen by the hands of violence in this city were marked by a cross Lexington would resemble a city of the dead as much as a city of the living, as much a cemetery as a town." There have been ninety-six policemen retired on pensions thus far this year in New York. They will draw in pensions more than $73,000 every year. Since the pension system was established, in 1885, the expenditure on this account has increased from $250,985 to $930,858, of which the amounts paid in by the police themselves have increased from $75,077 to $414,520.

Of course they can get a little schooling under the present system, but that will be only in textbooks of reading, writing and arithmetic. What they need is books of reference that will answer their many questions. Every mail brings me letters wanting to know things that they cannot learn in their country schools. Their teachers cannot tell them nor their neighbors. Of course not more than half of them care about knowing anything outside of their school books, but the other half do, and on that half depends the culture and progress of our country. Why should these boys and girls have to ask me and Joel Chandler Harris and John Temple Qra'ves and others so many questions? When they inclose a stamp I answer all I can. but these young people need iiuima iiiul iiiejr ciin reier to. it ivir. Carnegie would place In every country school a standard cyclopedia, such as Apploton's sixteen volumes of universal knowledge or Dodd, Meade & Co.'s International of sixteen volumes, the young people would have a library that would answer all their questions. Add to this Appleton's seven volumes of American biography and a country youth can get an education without anything else. A young farmer in Alabama asks me what books he must buy to improve his mind and store up knowledge by reading and studying at night. Well, it will take near $100 to buy the above named books and he had better skip over all the modern trash that does nothing but entertnin and amuse and strain his farm and his cattle and everything to get that hundred dollars. I think he could get them from Wannamaker for $75. Now. of course a boy or a girl not yet in their teens would prefer books to suit their ago, and they ought to have them. I still treasure with delight my enjoyment of such books as Robinson Crusoe." "Arabian Nights" and Jules Verne's works. "Swiss Family Robinson" and some of Scott's novels, like "Rob Roy" and "Kenilworth." Children must have entertainment. As they grow up they must have knowledge, for as Lord llacon said knowledge is power and Lord Brougham said. "1 had rather trust the schoolmaster to perpetuate this government than all the armies of England." Now, here is a youth who writes to me 10 Know who Invented the alohabet. Well, that is going afar back, but it is a question that should be answered. for the alphabet is the very begin ning of knowledge. The alphabet goes away back a thousand years before Moses was born. The Phoenecians made the first one that we know of. They lived in a narrow region that lies between Palestine and Syria, a country about 2t)0 miles long and 20 miles wide, anil yet they dominated the civilised world for a thousand ytars, for they had control of commerce and manufactures and the gold of OpMr a ul the silvei of Tarshish and the b'ass and copper of other lands were all theirs, and it wr.s a fact that as Isaili wrote, * .-ilvtr has heaped up as dust in the rtiects and was more plentiful than iron." Hiram, the king w.o the friend of Solomon, but a thousand years helore their time those Phoenecians had ni i le an alphabet and us?.] ll in writing and engraving. But that alphabet has passed away. In course of time the Gtcdans conquered Phoenema and th'e ll'-eek language prevailed: Their alphabet is the origin of oura the very word being compounded of the first two letters, alpha and beta. Just as the Phoenecian language was lost and wc nt into disuse just so has the Greek and Gatin language been abandoned end ( ur English will no d~uiht he the language of the c'vilizcd world before this century ends. Nearly a hundred years ago an Englishman by the name of James Sinith8on bequeathed to the United states something over a million dollars to lie used to promote the diffusion of knowledge among men. That sum has been increased by our government from year to year until now the Smithsonian Institute is one of the wonders of the world. But you cannot see It unless you go to it, and only the rich and members of Congress can do that. The common people are still in the woods, and that is why I wish Carnegie or some other philanthropist would do something for our country schools. The spirit of progress is doing well in the towns and cities. Right here in Cartersville our good women have organized a public library as an attachment to theli1 club work. The corner stone will he laid next Saturday and 1 have been honored with an invitation to upheave the first shovel full of earth, which 1 shall certainly do if 1 am strong enough to lift the shovel. I feel a deep interest in this educational work and hope to live long enough to see it in successful operation. Not long ngo a lady asked me who desigueu the Confederate flag and who first, suggested our Memorinl day. When our library is well supplied they will not have to ask these questions, but will go there and find out. Hut I must Stoil now for fpar ! will not only overtax my bodily strength, but will strain my mind besides.?T3ill Art) In Atlanta Constitution. Eggs Are Sensitive. An egg In the process of hatching," says an expert, "Is remarkably sensitive to vibration. Half the failures that amateurs encounter in hatching out chicks by the incubator method are due to lack of precaution in providing against the effect of vibration on the eggs. The rumble of a train or the passage of a wagon along the street wil spoil a whole incubator full of eggs, if the faintest vibratory wave iewu6s the apparatus Kven such a little thing as the banging of a door in some other part of tho house will dostroy the chances of hatching out a brood, where care has not been taken to place the incubator beyond tho ! reach of such disturbances. A thunder storm always gives breeders a scare, as thousands of eggs may bo spoiled by a sudden heavy thunder clap. Tc sneeze or cough in the vicinity of th< Incubators will sometimes work a dls astrous result." [Remarkable l>.iotography. One of the most charming happenings ever photographed by natural history camerists is the birth of a butterfly. Mr. Fred Enock was the photographer. He depicts the whole event from the stage when the larva has slung itself by a silken girdle to a twig until the butterfly, fully developed, is poised on a leaf about to make the first trial of its wings. Mr. Enock notes that in seven minutes from the time that the chrysalis first split the butterfly was fully developed, and from the moment that the skin opened until the new-born beauty was poised on the empty shell it emerged so quickly that exposures of a hundredth of a second only were given. The London Tnllor and Cutter makes the extraordinary statemont that there are some men who always include a coat of mail in their wardrobe and some of tho West End tailoring establishments manufacture them regularly for their customers. Most people have been accustomed to regard this garment as something peculiar to ancient and mediaeval times, when men fought with primitive weapons at close range and gallant knights entered the lists to compete for the fnvors of the fair. The wearers of these modern coats of mail are. however, all persons who are supposed to be in constant peril of assassination. A man named Rhodes is in the Walhalla jail charged with bigamy. He married a daughter of Dr. Browning of Seneca one day last week, having eloped with her into the State of Georgia. He is said to have a wife and several children. CURES RHEUMATISM AND CATARRH 11.
