Her Laglcal Reasoning.
In his "Comic School Tales" H. J.
Barker gives some amusing answers
by children technically known in longland
as "howlers." 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."

Pain in the back, or on the right side.
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.

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. It is impossible
here to give our readers more than
one or two specimens of the number of

| yiDER THREADS THE BEST.
1 Vr Use in Telescopes Nothing Has
1 ' Been Found So Good.
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.
Kept P.cccrd c' r.!f.
A Pittsfleld man who makes hl3
diary his hobby notes that not a drop
of rain fell on the 31st day of any of
the months last year. On every other
day of the month some time during
the year there was a precipitation.
The record for the year shows that
the total fall for the year was 36.66
inches. 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.
