Hero are some of mem: a leacner in a school at Stepney, Enst London, was giving her class an examination on the Scriptural work of the previous three months. Among other questions the lady asked: "With what weapon did Samson slay tho thousand Philistines?" And one girl, jumbling her old and new testament knowledge, stood up and replied: "With the ax of the apostles." A woman teacher had been ex- j plaining the story of tho casting adrift ! of the infant Moses. "Now, why was j it, do you think, that tho good mother i daubed the little ark boat so carefully with slime and pitch?" "Oh, ma'am," said one little 5-year-old girl, "to mako | tho baby stick inside." Describe the devil accurately anil J you're sure to have a libel suit on your ! hands.

How often a physician bears this complaint! Over and over we hear women say: "I have a pain in the small of my back. I have a pain in my right side, just below the ribs." These symptoms indicate pelvic or abdominal catarrh. They indicate that the bowels are not acting projierly?that the liver is out of order?that the pelvic organs are conges ted. Pelvic catarrh?that is the name for it. Peruna mreipflrfc ratarrh, ir/utt all afthese symptoms disappear. The catarrh may be all in the ubdom inal organs, when it would be properly called abdominal catarrh. At any rate, it is one of those cases of internal eaturrn which can be reached only by a course of treatment with Peruna. We have on lile thousands of testimonials similar to the above.

The astronomer after the experience many years has found that the spider furnishes the only thread which 3an be successfully used in carrying jii ins worn, wrues Ambrose swazey, in the Scientific American. The spider lines mostly used aro from one-flfth to one-seventh of a thousandth of an Inch in diameter and, In addition to their strength and elasticity, they have the peculiar property of withstanding great changes of temperature; and often when measuring the sun 6pots, although the heat is so intenso as to crack the lonses of the micrometer, eyepiece, yet the spider lines are not in the least injured. The threads of the silkworm, although of great value as a commer. cial product, are so coarse and rough compared with the silk of the spider that they cannot be used in such instruments. Spider lines, although but a fraction of a thousandth of an Inch in diameter are made up of several thousands of microscopic streams of fluid, which unite and form a single line, and it is because of this that they remain true and round under the highest magnifying power. An instance of the durability of the spider lines is found at the Allegheny observatory, where the same set of lines in the micrometer of the transit instrument has been in use since 1859.

This is about 10 inches under the average. ....ui uir l ai-Kfrn. Very general Interest has been manifested In the Government Investigation now in progress into the uiode of conducting business by the large packers located in Chicago and elsewhere. Much lir.s been written upon the alleged illegal and improper modes of business procedure connected with the packing industry; hut it seems that so far no definite charge of any kind lias been sustained and no proof of illegal or inequitable methods lias been disclosed to the public. While a wave of severe criticism of tins great industrial interest is now passing over the country it might lie well to remember that the packers have had as yet 110 opportunity to make specific denial, tlie many indefinite charges of wrong-doing having never been formulated so that a categorical answer <*>uld be made. The recent report of Commissioner Garfield, which embodied the results of an official investigation uiide-taken by the Department of Commerce and Labor of the United States, was a vindication of tlie Western packers, hut this result having been unexpected attempts in many quarters to discredit it were made. In view of the situation as It now stands, however, attention may properly lie called to a few facts that owing to popnlar clamor are now being apparently overlooked. Fair treatment in this country has heretofore been accorded to all citizens whose affairs assume prominence in the public eye and some of the facts that hear upon the relation of the packers to the commerce of the country may at this time he briefly alluded to. It would lie difficult to estimate the benefits gained by the farmers of the country resulting from the energetic enterprise of the packers, for whatever is of benefit to tlie farmer is a gain to the entire commerce of the country. And connected With I lioir i-millniione - sive work no feature perhaps has been nioro Important than their efforts in seeking outlets all over the world for the surplus products of the farmer. Our total exports of agricultural prodnets have gained hut little in the past twenty years, ami leaving out corn, the total of all other farm products was far less in 11)08 than In 1801. Hut in packing house products there was considerable gain during this period, because an organized and powerful force has been behind them seeking new and broader markets. Besides the l>enetlts reaped by farmers on account of the enterprise and energy exercised by the packers in attaining commercial results by foreign trade, the great development in the manufacture of packing house by-products lias added enormously to the value of ail live stock raised in the United States. The waste material of twenty years ago, then an expense to tho packer, is now converted into articles of great value and, as an economic fact, this must correspondingly increase the value to the farmer of every head of cattle marketed at the numerous stock yards of the country. I.et these fncts he remembered while now It Is so popular to regard the great packing industry as deserving of condemnation. At least it must he ad ml t tod that, so far, there is no adequate reason for the almost uuanlnious bowl thut may be beard everywhere In the faeo of tbo Garfield report above alluded to which practically exonerates the packers from the obscure and indefinite charges tlint have been for some time pnst made the subject of pppular comment. $foRAm>5V ^WATEBPBOOP 1 DiLED CLOTHIKSl RECEIVED THE <IGKF:5T POSSIBLE; AWARD 8 At THE ST.LOUIS WORLD'S PAIR, g I Send us the names of dealers in ? w your town who do not sell our C ^oods. and we will .send you o.
