Are Never Without
for Catarrh
MR. AND MRS. J. 0, ATKi:
TTNDER date of January 10, 1897, l>v.
U Hartman received the following letter:
"My wife had been suffering from a complication
of diseases for the past twentylive
years.
"Her case had baffled the skill of some
of the most noted physicians. One of her
worst troubles was chronic constipation of
several years' standing.
"She also was passing through that most
critical period in the life of a woman?
change of life. In June, 1S95, I wrote to
you about her case. You advised a course
Ej' of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once
?-wuMnmimced, and have to say it completely
cured herV urmlv believes that she
would have been dead only for these wonderful
remedies.
"About the same time I wrote you about
my own case of catarrh, which had been
of twenty-five years' standing. At times I
was almost past going. I commenced to
use Peruna according to your instructions
and continued its use for about a year,
and it has completely cured me.
" Your remedies do all that you
claim for them, and even more. Catarrh
cannot exist where Peruna is
taken according to directions. Success
to you and your remedies.,f

Napoleonic Journalism.
The following, directed at Mme.
Bonaparte, afterward Empress Josephine,
is a good specimen of political
journalism a century ago. It is from
the London Times of 1802?
It is surely an error to call Madame
B 's Attendants Maids of Honor.
Our explanation of the title is, a Woman
of Honor, waiting on an honorable
/ woman.
Nothing is talked of in Paris but the
richness of Madame's liveries, and the
decorations of Madame's apartments.
~TTiere are birds, of whom one cannot
possibly- praie? . anything but the

The Consul will no doubt draw
freely on Spain; but the strain on the
two countries will be so unequal, that
one or other of the supporters must
eventually break.
A NECESSARY QUALIFICATION.
A school inspector in England asked
a child in a primary school to tell
him as nearly as possible what he
understood a pilgrim to be.
"A pilgrim is a man who goes about
a good deal," was the reply.
This seemed not quite satisfactory
to the inspector, and he said: "I 'go
about a good deal,' but I am not a pilgrim."
"Please, sir, I mean a good man^lL

with Peruna:
' 1 will <ver continue to speak a

Pox 272. Independence, Vo.
When old age comes on catarrhal diseases
come also. Systemic catarrh is almost
universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become so
indispensable to old people. Peruna is
their safeguard. Peruna is the only remedy
yet devised that meets these cases exactly.
Such cases cann\)t be treated locally;
nothing but an effective, systemic remedy
could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna
is.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory
results from the use of Peruna. write
at once to Dr. Ilartraan, giving a full statement
of your case, and he will be pleased
to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Aerial Baggage Shifter.
An aerial luggage transmitter has
been, erected recently by the London
and Southwestern Railway Company
at their junction at Woking, and is, we
understand, in the nature of an experi|
ment, being it is believed, the first
j appliance of its kind used by any railway
company in the kingdom. In
briefly describing it Engineering
states that on the up and down platforms
are erected iron towers, each
32 feet 6 inches in height, and set in
j blocks of concrete. Suspended from
; tower to tower are four spans of wire
j cable. The topmost cable, on which
i the transmitter runs to and fro. is ex
I ceptionally strong, and is capable of
j bearing a strain equal to at least
j twenty tons. The second cable keep3
| the transmitter in position, and the
j third and fourth' cables, which, are
: much thinner and are in one length,
i are for "paying out" and "returning."
| Each span is 110 feet long, and the
i height of the transmitter above the
! railway is 22 feet 6 inches. Attached
' to the transmitter is an iron cage capaj
ble of holding half a ton at one time.
: The whole is worked by hydraulic
I power, the engine being on the down
side. Above it is a small box in which
are the levers working the apparatus.
The transmitter is very rapid in its
working, taking only thirty seconds to
Jlejjosk. ten hundredweight of luggage
from cne platform to the other. All
the experimental trials have been, it
is said, most satisfactory and the
transmitter is now ready for use.
TOMMY'S LESSON.
I thought, when a boy was old
enough to have a slate and book and
go to sehool he was big enough to take
care of himself and go the way -that he
wanted to. So I did not go straight
down the road, as my mother told me;
but I climbed the fence to go across
the field. By and by something %said.
"Bow-wow-wow!" and there was a big
dog running right at me. Didn't I
run? That dog almost caught me before
I got to the fence: and I tumbled
over, and scratched my arm and broke
my slate, and tore my clothes. So
I had to go home to mamma. She
said, "Ah, Tommy boy, pec pie never
get too old to go in the right way instead
of the wrong one. The straight
path is the safe path. Remember
that." And that is all the lesson I
learned in my first day at school,
'cause I didn't go.?Early Days.

j A TRAGEDY
t | y HE nigbt'e'xpress was making
I its customary pause at Gran
p liiara siauon wnue i"u cugincs
\yere changed for the
next long run, 100 miles, to York.
It was not a crowded train, as I
easily perceived when I alighted with
the rest to stretch my legs. Most of
the passengers had turned out, too, and
we lounged about, staring at each
other without keen interest until time
was up and the sharp cries of "Take
your seats," "Now for the Xortli," sent
us back to our carriages.
I had a compartment to myself, and
I regained it without paying particular
attention to those nearest me, save in
the vague, unconscious fashion that
would hardly serve for later recognition.
One man I noticed in the next
carriage?he and I alone were traveling
"first," at any rate, in that part of
the train?but do not think I should
have known him again but for his
traveling cap with the lappets tied
under his chin and his loose ulster
with a cape?distinct facts in his appearance,
although they made little
impression on me at the time.
Then another matter claimed my
notice. There were sudden cries,
"Now, sir, now! If you're going cn,
look sharp, sir, please." I saw a man,
a laggard, hurrying down the platform,
puffing breathlessly in evident
distress, as though the pace was too
great for him.
Hp made straight for where I sat.
but stopped one compartment short of
mine, and as the train was already
moving they hustled him in neck and
crop; the signal was given, "liight,"
the whistle sounded, the engine driver
blew a response, and we steamed
ahead full speed.
I felt rather concerned about this
neighbor and late arrival. His white
face, his staring eyeballs and hanging
tongue told of great physical exhaustion,
and I fancied that I heard a
groan as he tumbled into his carriage.
Evideutly he had run it very closehad
come upon the platform at the
very last moment, and had all but
missed his train. lie had only just
joined it, of that I felt sure, for I had
not observed him on our departure
from King's Cross nor here at Grantham.
Why had he been so anxious
to save his passage and such peril to
himself? For lie was ill?I made sure
h& was ill?so sure that I threw down
my window and, leaning out, shouted
to the next compartment, asking if
anything was wrong.
Xo answer came, or it was lost in the
rattle and turmoil of the express.
Once again I called out, having no
certainty that I could be heard, but
certain at last that I heard no reply.
Why should I worry further? The
next compartment was not empty, tlif
I knew. If the newcomer was really
ill ana wantea neip ne couin get 11
from bis traveling companion, the man
in the loose ulster and cap tied under
his chin, whom I believed to be in the
carriage with him. So I dismissed the
matter from my mind and sank back
among the cushions of my seat to rest
and he satisfied.
I must have dozed off. but only for
a minute or two as I though, and I
seemed to be still asleep and dreaming
when again I heard a groan in the
next carriage. It was a perfectly vivid
and distinct impression, as half waking
dreams so often are. I could not
at the moment say whether what followed
was reality or a figment also
of my drowsy brain. What I heard
I have said was a groan fraught with
keen anguish; what I saw was quite
as clear, but still more extraordinary
and unaccountable.
The train had slowed down and was
almost at a standstill. We were in a
tunnel; the lamps in the carriages
threw a strong light upon the brick
walls and reflected all that was going
on in the compartment next mine
(none of the others near had any occupant).
But in this the adjoining compartment
two figures stood cut plainly?
men's figures, and one held the other
closely in his arms. More than this
I could not make out. I saw it clearly,
although but a brief space only, a few
seconds of time, for now the train
moved on rapidly with increasing
cnnafl ond /-v ro 11 aiif r\ f +nr?n a!
opccu, uuu nc lun uui vi int: tiiuiivri.
Tho reflected scene of course disappeared
at once as complete]}* as though
wiped off a slate.
There was trouble next door, of what
nature it was impossible to guess, but
I felt that it must be ascertained forthwith.
If it was a case of serious illness
then the one hale man would
surely ring the alarm bell and seek
assistance for the other; if it was foul
play lie would make 110 sign, and it
then became my bounden duty to interpose
without delay.
These thoughts Hashed quickly
through my mind, and it seemed an
oorn n-hUrk T tr> vocrdvo mv
doubts. Probably no more than a few
seconds elapsed before I put my hand
to the signal and stopped the train,
I was first to get out, and hardly waiting
the stoppage I clambered along the
footboard and stood upon it, looking
into the carriage.
No one was to be seen within.
"Quick, quick I" I cried to the guard
when he came up. "in here. Some
thing has happened. There is a mat
sick; I fear he has fainted. He wasn'1
alone, but I cannot sec the other man.'
Now the carriage doer was opened
and disclosed a body lying recumbent
inert, in a strangely stiff, haphazard
fashion on the floor. The guard
stooped down, waving his lantern ovei
the white, drawn face and moving the
body gently on one side.
"All up with him, I expect. Run
somebody, along the train and see ii
there's a doctor aboard. And you, sir
what do you know of this?"
I described what I had heard 01
though I had heard and seen, including
the glimpse reflected in the tunnel.
"You must have been dreaming o:
you're inventing," was the guard*:

have seen anything like that?'tain't
possible. And how comes it you know
such a lot about it? You tell us, too,
there was another man in the carriage
?what's become of him? A fine
! story!"
"Would I have given the alarm if
I was implicated in any way?" I answered
hotly. "Don't be a fool,
guard."
The guard would have answered me
rudely, no doubt, but at that moment
a doctor appeared upon the scene.
"The man is dead?beyond all question
dead," he said at the very first
glance,
"And the cause of death?" I asked
eagerly, while the guard frowned at
me as though I were making myself
too busy. "Are there any marks of
foul play?"
"None visible.' replied the doctor
after a brief examination. "I should
say it was heart, but I cannot be
certain till I have looked further."
"Which you can do somewhere else
and better than here," interposed the
guard. ""We've lost too much time
already. I must push on to York and
report there. This is too big a job for
me."
"Y'ou had better go back to Grantham."
I protested. "It's quite closenot
half a dozen miles."
"I don't want you to teach me my
duty, and I'm not going. I've got first
of all to keep time. Why should I go
back?"
"To identify the dead man?lie got
in at Grantham?and to give information
as to the man who got out."
"Oh, bosh!" cried the guard. "There
was no man?no one but yourself, and
you've got to come along with me, and
?that"?lie pointed to the corpse?"on
to York."
i certainly snail not go on wun ine
train. I shall go back to Grantham
alone. There is no time to be lest.
The other man "
* I thought the guard would have
struck me. He was obviously ready
to lay violent hands on me, and he repeated
"that he meant to take me on
to York, if necessary by force.
"You've no authority. You're not a
police officer, and I am, or as good, for J
I am a government official. Here is
my card. Let there be an end of this.
I think you are wrong in going on, but
at any rate I shall walk back to Grantham
by the line. Be so good as to
look after my things in the next compartment,"
and with that I alighted
and left the guard rather crestfallen.
Within a few minutes, walking rapidly,
I re-entered the tunnel which had
been the scene of the strange incident,
and in less than half an hour I reached
the station. It >vas dimly lighted, for
the next express train, the 12.0G "up,"
was nearly due, and there were several
officials upon the platform.
I went up to one, an inspector, and
briefly told liim what had happened.
"Dear, dear! Of course. I remember.
That was Mr. Erasmus Bateman.
He belongs here?a rich man, greatly
respected;, has the big stores in High
street. He was in a hurry to catch
that train, for he was going down tonight
for the great timber auction at
Hull to-morrow. He buys a lot for his
furniture factory?that is, he did, I
suppose I ought to say. Poor Mr. |
Bateman! He was heavy, overfat for
his age, and he ought not to have run
so fast."
"Would he be likely to have much
money on him?" I asked.
"Why, yes; likely enough. He was
his own buyer, and he always bought
for cash."
Here was a motive for foul play. I
saw the disappearance of this second
passenger explained. Bateman had
died suddenly almost in the other
man's arms.
If evilly disposed it would be but the
matter of a moment for the latter to
get possession of purse and pocketbook
and all valuables?everything, in
fact?and make off, leaving the carriage
at once, even at the risk of his
life.
It was a pretty, a plausible theory
enough, and I put it before the inspector
with the whole of the facts.
"I'm inclined to agree with you, sir,
always supposing there was any such
man," lie replied. "Your tunnel story
is a big mouthful to swallow."
"There he goes," I whispered, clutching
at the inspector's arm and pointing
to the tails of a check ulster disappearing
into the booking office. "He
must not sec me; he might recognize
me as having been in the north express.
But go?sharp's the word. Find
out where he's booking to and take a

are a couple of sovereigns. You'll find
ine in the "waiting room."
He came to me there, bringing a
ticket for King's Cross, the other
man's destination,
i "Traveling up, no doubt, by the 12.00
midnight express, due in London at
2.40. Mark you now, inspector, I want
[ you to telegraph to Scotland Yard and
. ask them to have a detective on the
arrival platform to watch for our
> gentleman in check ulster and flap
; cape and stop him.
"Mention my name; tell the office to
look out for me, and we'll arrange fur[
tlier together."
An electric bell sounded in the sig
t nal box and the inspector cried: "Here
\ she comes! You wait, sir, till the last
' I'll mark the ulster down to his carI
riage and I'll put you the next door.
, You must be on the lookout at Petcr1
borough and Finsbnry Park. He might
1 get off at one of those stations."
; "No fear," I said, as I got into the
i carriage with a parting injunction to
the inspector that he had better tele,
graph also to York, giving the def
ceased's name, and inform his rela,
tions in Grantham.
My man in the ulster did not move
r on the way to town. I was continu;
ally on the lookout, alert and wakeful,
watching in every tunnel we passed
r through for some corroboration of my
3 former experience. In the flying train
t probably at this time ot night every
f ?
one but myself was sound asleep. The
lights were certainly reflected onto the
brick walls, but no action or incident.
Nevertheless, I was now quite convinced
that I had made no mistake as
to what I had seen.
I was close behind the check ulster
directly its wearer alighted. So was
my friend Mountstuart, the detective,
to whom, as he ranged alongside, 1
whispered: :
"Take him straight to the nearest
station. I will charge him there with
robbery from the person. Mind lie
does not sling (throw away) any stuff."
Except for my caution I believe he
would have got rid of a fat, bulky
pocketbook, but Mountstuart caught
him in the act and took it from liis
hand. lie began to bluster, shouting
"What does this mean? IIow dare you
interefer with me? Who are you?"
"You will hear soon enough," said
Mountstuart, quietly. "In with you.
We are going to Portland road."
I never saw a man so dumbfounded.
He was a dark-eyed, lantern jawed,
cadaverous looking, and he was shivering,
no doubt with the suddeu shock of
his unexpected arrest. He gave his
name at the station as Gregory Carstairs,
a commercial traveler, and it
came out that he had had business
dealings with Mr. Bateman. The
temptation Lad been irresistible when
lie held the dead man in his arms to
search and despoil liim. He thought
it was quite safe; no once eould know
of his presence in the carriage, and
the sudden death would be attributed
to natural causes.
His possession of the stolen property
was enough to secure bis conviction for
theft, the only charge pressed, for
death had really been from heart
failure. My evidence as to what I had
seen was heard in court, and heard
with mixed feeling in which incredulity
predominated. The judge and some
others were sufficiently interested,
however, to put my statement to the
test by actual experiment on the Underground
Railway, and the fact of
the telltale reflection was triumphantly
proved.
The next time I met the guard of
that night express he was very crestfallen
and admitted that he had made
an ass of himself.?The Tatler.
MYSTERY OF A SPIDER'S SPINNINC.
How Hoes He Succeed in Drawing His
Web So Taut?
How does a spider spin a thread
from one bush to another at a height
from the ground and then draw it so
tight? asks a correspondent in the New
Century. Every one who has ever
walked through a country lane early in
the morning has felt the strained
threads upon the face, and often these
threads are many yards long, but the
way in which it is done remains a
mystery. He does not fly across, drawing
the thread after him, for lie has
no wings. Neither does he descend to
the ground and then climb the opposite
bush, for this would lead to immediate
and hopeless entanglement of the gossamer
filament. How then does he do
it?
M. Favler, a French scientist, has disnnT-ni-orl
tlinf O flll'OOfl A!1Q Vnl'd Inn?
VU > VI v. U lUll C li IU4VUU V" V ^
will support by its own buoyancy in
the air, the weight of a young spider.
It would thus be in the power of a
juvenile to spin a thread of that length
and trust to air currents to carry it
across and attach it to an opposite bush
so that ho himself could then pass over
and draw it tight. But many of these
threads, to judge from their strength
and consistency, are not the work of
young spiders, and as every observer
knows, they are often many yards long
and drawn so tightly that the face is
instantly aware of their presence when
breaking them.
The work is nearly always done in
the night time, so that observation is
difficult.
If the spider has any human nature
In his make-up?and many of his habits
would lead us to suppose that he has?
he would be gratified at the perplexity
which he causes and would advertise
his performances as zealously as
do less girted Human gymnasts aim
even some popular preachers.
The Azetecs Not a Dead Race.
To the mind of the general reader
the term Aztec conveys the idea of a
more or less misty, extinct greatness;
the idea of a great body of aboriginal
Americans of mysterious origin, who
at the time of the advent of the Spanish
had reached the acme of power and
native civilization, and then unexplainedly
very rapidly and completely vanished.
These problems?namely, the origin
or derivation, the physical type and
physical destiny of the Aztecs, to clear
which history alone proves insufficient
?have been and remain prominently
the subjects of anthropological investigation;
and through these investigations,
in which the anthropological department
of the American Museum of
Natural History, New York, is taking
an important part, enough has already
been achieved to warrant the hope that
in not a very far future but a little concerning
the Aztecs will be left in obscurity.
One result of these investigations
is the knowledge that the Aztecs
of the time of the conquest are still
represented by numerous pure-blood
survivors.
They are scattered, but still clearly
recognizable by a student of the people
in the suburbs of the city and in practically
all the smaller towns in the Valley
of Mexico. From the valley they
can be traced southward: they are numerous
in the districts of Amecameca,
and thev occupy, though probably
largely mixed with the Xahuan branch
of Tlahuitecs, entire villages near and
in the mountainous country between
Cuautla and Cuernavaca, in the State
of Morelos. In this Iast-napaed region
there are in particular two large villages,
Teteleingo and Cuautepec, in
which the Aztec-Nahuan descendants
not only speak the pure Aztec language
and know but little Spanish, but they
also preserve their ancient dress and
ancient way of building their dwellings.
In both of these villages the natives
are almost free from mixture
with whites.
To estimate the number of pure-blood
Aztec-Xaliuan descendants still in existence
is very difficult. The Aztec
language is still used by at least a mill- i
ion, probably more, of the natives of
Mexico.?Harper's for Christmas.
The Ajje of Admiral*.
Lord Charles Beresford has raised
another little brcc-ze in England by
protesting that officers in the British
Xavy arc promoted to be admirals
when too old to hold that rank. Of |
the twelve officers holding the rank of
admiral or vicc-admiral only three of
them are below the age of sixty, one
admiral being fifty-nine and two viceadmirals
being fifty-?even and fifty-,
five, respectively. Nelson was only
forty-seven when he won at Trafalgar.
Lord Beresford points out that Ger- J
many has much younger men in these
exalted places, and he asserts with Napoleon
that at "sixty years, one is good
for nothing."

HOW TO DRESS EFFECTIVELY.
The girl with a pretty face and figure
is supposed by many to have the
advantage of her plainer sister. This
does not apply, however, in all cases,
for a pretty girl has been known to
look very ordinary on some occasions,
while her plainer sister at the same
time was attracting much attention.
This is understood by an observing
person, who can easily discern that
the plainer girl, feeling the want of
that very desirable item?beauty?
takes great care of the detail of her
appearance, and gives considerable
thought to what is becoming to her
particular style of face and form. In
dividuality should be the aim or every
girl, for not until she has acquired
this much desired trait does she become
interesting.
The girl with dark chestnut hair
and eyes and clear white complexion
is fortunate, for she can wear almost
any color; but take away her clear
complexion and she will have to be
careful in her selection of colors and
contrasts. Many girls, with the aid
of cosmetics, try to make their faces
suit their surroundings. This is a
mistaken idea; the surroundings
should always be planned and arranged
to suit the face. A woman with a
sallow complexion and dull brown hair
and eyes has no reason whatever for
looking ugly. All she needs to do is
to affect dull reds and browns, and no
matter what other color she indulges
in, always have a touch of dull red or
brown somewhere, and she will find
her problem solved in the most satis
factory manner, ane must give up an
ideas of striking contrasts, for to her
they are out of the question.
Street Crossing Signals.
United States Consul Warner at
Leipzig has given the secretary of
state a brief account of the system of
signaling at electric car crossings in
that city. "Until a few months ago,"
says he, "the method in vogue in this
city of avoiding accidents at crossings
of electric street railways was
either to station a flagman at the
crossings or to have the conductor
run forward to see if the other end line
was clear. An automatic signal lantern
has been introduced by the street
railway company which does away
with these inconvenient methods. The
lantern consists of two boxes, arranged
one above the other, each having two
6ides fitted with red and the other
two with green glass, the red being
above the green. The cars on one
line cause the incandescent lamps in
the upper box to burn; the cars on
the other line the lamps in the lower
one. This causes, owing to the arrangement
of glass in the boxes a
large green light to appear to the first
line, which indicates 'free passage,'
and a red light to the second line,
which mean3 'stop.' Signals are also
visible in daytime, as reflections shut
out the light of the sun, and the lantern
is well lighted from the inside."

THE CARE OF CLOTHES.
Garments should never be shut up
in a closet or wardrobe directly after
I being taken off. Let the bodice of a
dress or any garment that has the
least spot of perspiration on it hang
over the back of a chair near an open
window half an hour or more before
being put away. The oldest clothes
can be kept fresh and odorless if
treated in this way. At night the
stockings and all body linen should
be hung over the backs of chairs sc
that the air can circulate freely
through them during the night. The
neat little rolls of clothing placed
compactly one upon another, in which
our grandmothers prided themselves
wore exceedingly hygienic and unsa
