CATARRH OF LUNGS. A Prominent Chicago Lady Cured by Pe-ru-na. Miss Maggie Welch, Secretary of the Betsey ltoss 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 j day, and my lungs and throat became so wre that I was in great distress. All cough Miss Maggie Welch. remedies nauseated me, and nothing afforded me relief until my doctor said rather in a joke, 'I guess Peruna is the onlv medicine that will cure you.' "I told him that I would certainly trv BP ' it, and immediately sent for a bottle. I found that relief came the first day, and as I kept taking it faithfully the cough gradually diminished and the soreness left me. It is fine."?Maggie Welch.

THE ALI FROM "'THE ANC BY SAMUEL TAY 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 Hew The ice did split with a thunder-fit; The helmsman steered us through! And a good south wind sprang up Ik hind; The albatross did follow, And every day, forTood Or nlay, Came to the mariner's-hollo! In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud, It perched for vesncrs nine; Whiles all the nignt, through fog-smoke white. Glimmered the white moon-shine. The sun now rose upon the right? Out of the sea came he. Still hid in mist, and 0:1 the left Went down into the sea. And the good south wind si ill blew behind; But no sweet bird did follow, Nor any day for food or play Came to the mariner's hollo. And T had dono a hallish thin sr. And it would work 'cm woo; For all averred I had killed the bird That made the brcer.e to blow! Ah. wretch! said they, the bird to slay, That made the breeze to blow!

Last Ron ?1 j H l Pea Besj ? ill || ?????p?BM n I ?Y friend Buggies liad gone so far as to put a name to liis automobile, not the name of the maker, engraved on it^ various inwards, nor yet the name of Buggies himself, dangling on a patent leather tag just above the steam. So you can see that lie was pretty far gone, as automobilists go. 1 think he called it the Pea Green Desperado. 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 interesting. I can't hope, o? course, to stir anv one ui> 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 firsf oplace, that I'm not an automobile man and not used to the machines any way, and i that my heart is weak and I have a : prejudice?foolish perhaps?against get- " ting arrested. But Buggies came around and asked : me to come along with him, and, as i you may have found yourself, there's 1 a good deal in the idea of clattering.about the drives inttne 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 i up too much like a professional chauf- i 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 pret.y high, too. i I know how much Buggles's cost, for i one?he must have told me a dozen < times. 1 Well, he came around and caught me just as I was feeling particularly 1 perky and daring, any way. He had on a shiny automobile cap and an i isinglass eyeshade and fine large oily i gloves, and he looked just like the i pictures of chauffeurs in the comic \ papers, drawn as standing at the pris- 1 oners' dock in court, by preference. i "f/M-virt olniii* triHi nin nl/1 " sfiid ! VVU1C UiVU^ " Buggies, "I'll take you rattling up the ' Drive in the Pea Green Desperado and we'll scare all the old ladies out of : their wits from here to the Monument." 1 The long and the short of it was that ' I climbed into his machine, standing 1 outside my house with a crowd around 1 it, watching it gurgle and tremble, and all the neighbors hiding behind their ] lace curtains and wondering who my 1 expensive friend was. I didn't see 1 them?the neighbors?but I knew they i were there. Because I've done it 1113'- : self. ] It was a pretty instrument?Bug- ' gles's automobile. As you might have guessed from its sobriquet, it was a ' fine bright green, except the waist of ' it?as you might 533*?where you sit ' and work it. That was red and oily. < There were 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, i You can see that it was the bona fide 1 article. We got into it and Buggies grasped 1 some levers firmly and I curled up my ] mustache aud glanced up at Miss : Guinnes's window ? in No. 27 ? and wondered if she was home. There 1 was a terrific steamy clatter that near- i 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 Ave were ill a ; strange street. < The rate of snood that Busrcrles was going at was positively sickening. I 1 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 falling 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 1 dog and threw the animal into the air behind us in the most talented fashion. 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 interesting. 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 Itockaway oyster. We dashed into the Park on a curve 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 landslide victims being dug out. A mounted 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 being 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 handkerchief, from behind, and you get the same effect. Later on. Buggies said, he would get the boa out and put it up in his den with a lot of other relics that he was in .the habit of prying out SATROSS. 1IENT MARINER." LOR COLERIDGE.

He admitted that ] lie was a sentimental cuss, did Bug- ' gles. 1 We went up the West Drive like an 1 express making up time and with ] about as much noise. Around the corner I saw the Van Doutzcrs coming 1 in a victoria. They arc one of the 1 families that 1 really like to bow to, 1 and so, abolishing as much of my fear 1 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 Desfferado, instead of Buggies. 1 To carry out the idea I just rested ? my hand on the wheel thing that you J steer by. I bowed, but I discovered. . ... i to my liorror, tnat i was nowing to a park policeman?the Van Doutzers must have been whisked by about three blocks back by the time I got my hat off. , . t . : All at once there was a frightful rush of profanity from Buggies, and I noticed that we were richotting on a wonderful angle up an incline covered with tulip beds. I peered wildly behind me?the road was just disappearing in the distance between trees and the tracks of the automobile among the flowers looked like the first diggings 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 Tea Green Desperado was trembling and gurgling, head cm, against a tree trunk. As for Buggies. lie had traveled some feet further than I had, and landed in a sort of rustic summer house through the window. du the laps of two persons already there. They were very angry, both of s them, and vanished down the hill j. threatening to have the law on us. I told Buggies that I didn't blame j, lliem, either?that I had been young myself. He got mad at that and said r it was all because I'd put my bally liand on the steering gear and switched T the machine off the road, and that y be'd "like to liare been killed" in con- n sequence. He wanted to know why y the deuce I should switch him up on T this kill?did I like the scenery so T much, and would I pay the fine? y What's the use of arguing with a fcl- j low like Buggies when he's mad, any- j way? I just kept quiet and got into t the machine and sat still, while he E climbed in and backed her up and 0 turned her around and tried to start E her. But she wouldn't start. He pulled E all of the levers and things in sight. p but she just stood still and shook. Then p lie got out and crawled in underneath among the works, to see what was the j. matter. I sat in the waist effect, that j was all red and oily. ^ Presently I heard him say from the a bowels of the machine, as it were: , 'Are you touchiu' anything?" I said, ^ 'No." Buggies said: "There's a chunk ^ of wood in the chain?I'm a-goin' to Q pull it out." t "Pull away," said I, and I heard him t give a grunt. Gee whiz! The Desperado leaped like the arrow from the t bow; I heard a wail of horror from r 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. j. I don't remember rightly the rest g of the trip I made through the lark r in the Desperado; it's more of a bad Iream than anything else. Thcao were crowds that dashed up on walls, yelling, and mounted police that galloped ^ ifter, yelling, and horses that sat down on carriage shafts or tried to climb j" up with the coachman on the box?the coachmen yelling, too. i puiiea ail the movable bits of brassware that I S 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 forward 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 it to right and left. By this time it was dusk. "j As the Desperado thundered around * another curve, the lake unfolded away ( down below, on my left. Suddenly I e got an idea. I twisted the wheels, put the machine's nose down the dusty , slope and scrambled from my seat. * Figuratively, I had washed my hands of all works. I slid over the back of the machine on my waistcoat, and 1 dropped. Mv lapel caught on a hook. \ I was jerked in the air, sailed like a bird for twenty feet, broke loose suddenly, and struck the ground hard, but happily. Down below, in the growing twilight, I saw the Pea Green Desperado swaying toward the water at lightning speed. A splash, a muffled concussion?and a column of water shot into the air. Silence fell. < After dinner I got on my handpainted 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, waiting j for Buggies.

H. said it quite fearlessly, too, althougl I couldn't so much as hear that nam/ without shuddering. I told him. though. "In the lake!" he ejaculated, bound ing out of his chair. "And a good thing, too," I said, sol emnly. "I looked forward to seein; you dead to-night, Buggies?dendIhfttened! That devilish mnchim made my whole past come up in mi mind, and, by gorry. it was up to tin Desperado to finish." "But my money!" cried Buggies pa thetically. I always thought he was a paper sport. I should have, imagined lie had a pretty good run for his monoj 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 and to Blacb Gniuccocks in Particular. Dees are opposed to black as a color. Whether this is because they dislike a symbol of mourning, think black typifies a cloud or consider it 11io nmlilnm of .lon/li ie not known 1:111 the fact remains that bees (lo not hesitate to display their hatred for things black upon the slightest provocation. I. L. Richards, proprietor of the Achme Apiaries, at Littleton, can testify to this with regret. Richards is a chicken fancier as well as a bee expert. lie has some of the finest chickens in Colorado, and not long ago made up his mind to have more. lie bought some imported chickens from Hong Kong and paid a fancy price for them. One great beruflled cock cost him $S5, and was as black as a piece of coal, save for one rod 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 Ihe advent of the black rooster the' living emblems of industry rebelled. Richards went back to see his new oet half an hour later, and was amazed to see the yard in a terrible commotion. The great chicken, which fad stalked so proudly about his new lome a few moments before, to .the wonder of the old chickens, was now n pitiful distress. It rushed franticlily about the inclosure, squawking strangely and flappiug its wings in lesperation. Around it swarmed 1000 iees. Viciously they darted at the uifortimate fowl. Tlicy struck it half i hundred at a time. Richards was about to rush to the escue of his favorite, when he realized the folly of such an undertaking. Ic stood -helplessly by while the angry ittie honey makers stung the black I'hina cock to death. The bewildered stranger from across the seas dashed ainly about for a. few minutes, to he alarm of the other chickens.

Spears demontratcs that "General Wayne, commonly mown as "Mad Anthon}-," was in realty the sanest, coolest soldier in WashQgtcn's Army. "They called the hero of Stony Toint nd the Maumee Rapids 'Mad Anthony Vaync,"' says Mr. Spears. "The title vas originated by an Irish soldier who lad been confined in the guardhouse t the order of the General, and it was aken up by vie people because of the rild enthusiasm and determination rith whicli Wayne led his men when he supreme moment of battle came, hit observe that when the War of the devolution Impended he 'ransacked his?"r' fftv onr>nvmtc nf battles that he V/iJ i.

At Stony Foint he led his ceh in spite of his wound, but in pretaring for the battle he appealed to the iridg.of his men by parading them clean shaved and with hair well towdered,' while the prelaid plans ncluded even the slaughter of the logs, that no yelp should betray the pproach of the assaulting host. When n Virginia he charged the hosts of Jornwallis with only 500 men to back iim; when in Ohio, where the honor f the Nation and the integrity of its erritory were committed to his care, :e -. took a legion of 'boys and misreants' gathered from the slums, and rained them until their skill with the uusket equalled if it did not surpass hat of the most noted backwoods In[ian-fighters.

A knot of men at a club were trying o define the exact meaning of the ibove terms, and this was the general dea: A snob is a mildly pretentious per.on, negative rather than positive, vhose antics raise a smile but rarely 'xcite anger.

A Paris searcher after facts has made the discovery that to Balzac belongs the honor of having invented the wood-block pavement for streets. The first reference to it is found in that author's comedy, Mercadet, which was played at the Francais, in which Mer-: cadet dilates on the advantage of such pavement, since with wooden blocks in the. streets barricades are impossible. Some of the London editorials on American affairs are a little hazy; but as a rule they indicate that the editors have awakened to the fact that there is "something doing" in the western hemisphere.

Details of the Process, Long Regarded as a Trade Secret. The manufacture of an Incandescent electric lamp is of special interest because many of the operations have heretofore been regarded as trade secrets and carefully kept from the public. The delicate filaments which produce the light are formed by squirting a paste made from cellulose (wood pulp) through dies, from which it emerges in the form of fine threads, which when dry are tough and flexible. These threads before they are dry are formed into the desired shape. They are then packed in carbon dust and subjected to intense heat for many hours. The cellulose is completely 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 hydrocarbon, and a carbon soot some- . what resembling graphite is deposited Dn 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 I are perfectly smooth at the rounded j end, and have a long open neck. To the rounded end is fused a short length of glass tubing opening into the interior of the bulb. This is subsequently "used for connecting the bulb I to the exhaust pump. For making the connection through the glass between the carbon filament nnt\ thp 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 the case when it got hojt through the passage of the current it would either expand more or less 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 the neck of the bulb are fused two platinum wires. This stopper, which has a flange at one end, is now called 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 is 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 exhaustion of the air is accomplished by me^ns 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 means of a small lamp, leaving the small round tip seen on the spherical end of the finished lamp. The lamp is now practically completed and is sent to the testing department. Here it is subjected to a series of severe tests before it is considered 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 transmitter, says The Chicago iribune, 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 possibility of contagion through the use of the instrument. Daily 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 of contagion, It is asserted. Aside from this, the daily wash is a sensible sanitary precaution which can be taken with little or no trouble and expense. THAT WISE DISCOVERER. Columbus had been on his voyage I several weeks when the sailors became frightened by the variations of the compass. "But how can you tell the way the needle points?' Inquired the chief engineer, suggesting retreat. "Sit on it!" roared the angry navigator. Satisfied by the logic of the answer the dissenters withdrew, while Christopher savagely boxed the compass.?
