A VENER, O Peru-na is a Catarrhal Tonic Especially Adapted to the Declining Powersof Old Age. The Oldest Man in America Attributes His Long Life and Good Health to Pe-ru-na. Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan County, Texas, has attained the great age of 114 years. He is an ardent friend or Peruna, and speaks of it in the following terms. Mr. Brock says: "After a man has lived in the world as long as 1 have he ought to have found out a great many things by experience. I think 1 nave done so.

Major Frank O'Mahoney, West Side, Hannibal, Mo., writes; "I am professionally a newspaper correspondent, now 79 years old. I have watched the growing power of the Peruna plant from its incipiency in the little log cabin, through its gradations of success up to its present establishment in Columbus, Ohio, and I conclude that merit brings its full reward. "Id to a few years ago I felt no need to test its medicinal potency, but lately when my system needed' it, your Peruna relieved me of many catarrhal troubles. Some two years ago I weighed 210 pounds, but fell away down to 16? pounds, and besides loss of flesh I was subject to stomach troubles, indigestion, loss of appetite, in& ; somnia. night sweats, and a foreboding of getting my entire system out of order.

(t fs Only One Acre and Is Worth at Least $288,000. . Lying in the very heart of New York's ultra fashionable district, between West End avenue and Riverside Drive, is the most valuable farm in the world. It is only one acre, and it is worth. $288,000. A bit of history attaches to the sj^ofT In 1863 it formed part of wh^f' was known as the Broadway fiartftn. Here was a famous recruiting station for the government, withcJf*sort of camp and barracks combined. Ther_e-Was no hint then, in the GOs, -of the marvelous rise in real estate values which the district was destined to experience. Broadway was the thoroughfare north and south, dotted with stores, summer gardens and residences, but nobody fancied that the j space between the highway and the river would become a fashionable residence district. The rocks were seventy-five to 100 feet high in ridges, separated by gullies, equally difficult of grading. The solution came with the transformation of the river bank into Riverside Park. Through it all this little farm changed not, except in area. It still smiles a green welcome toward the east. Its sunflowers and field daisies have gazed wonder eyed, at the majestic buildings that have come to overlook them on four sides. The tmy cottage looks strangely out of place when compared with the surrounding apartment houses, but is still in harmony with the clinging vines on the porch, the footpaths leading through beds of onions and beets, with the old plow resting lazily beneath the tree, and with the rows of waving corn.

J? vvvt7 vwy v vww : "This question cf courage or brav cry," said Colonel Rumford, "is as complex as it is interesting. Pride is responsible for many displays cf gal lantry; stupidity, I feel sure, accounts for many a sullen defence; and I've always noticed that the men most ner vous and excited before going into battle become seized with a sort ol ecstasy in combat that is pretty sure in time, to make heroes of them Lieutenant Kingdon was, however, a J different kind of man. He was no! very vain, far from stupid, always cuoi whether before, (luring or after a fight ?a perfect type, I think, of the Ameri can officer risen from xhe ranks. "He was acting adjutant of my regi ment when we went down below the Bagbag, having been just transferred from the Eleventh. I must tell yon that we were all badly fooled cn that excursion, for the Filipinos made nc show of defence till after we were well into the jungle and had even turned back toward our base. Wc had to make a three-day halt 'at Arroyo going down, and there we got very friendly with Major Effingham, an Englishman who had the best house in the town and lived in it with his "wife, his daughter and a nephew, who was about 14 years old. Lieutenant Kingdon, who was great fellow for the girls, got a good deal of chaffing from "AU ftf us about a pretty little brown sweetheart he picked up at Arroyo, and mere than once at Effingham's wc drank to the health of the girl?"Zu Zu," as we had nicknamed her. Kingdon took it all good-naturedly, and. I don't think he ever had a serious thought about her. "But coming back, as I told you, we had an ugly time. A mob of pretty well-armed Tagals had got in between us and were making one cf their celebrated bluffs at real warfare. They did rouse all the natives, even the rascals who had sworn themselves 'Amigo' about two weeks before, and we got at least an excuse of a fight at every village we came to. We hadn't enough men to leave a garrison any place, and the best we could do was to drive off the natives as fast as we met them. In this way we got back to Arroyo wondering how the Effinghams liked their surroundings, and pretty sure that we'd get the best fight of the expedition right there. We weren't mistaken, either, for the rascals had rallied in force, dug up some breastworks and were occupying those we had made during our temporary visit. We weren't strong enough to sweep them off the map, our ammunition was running low, and, to tell the truth, I began to suspect that at last I was in lor a taste or sure enougn war. We went to work a bit cautiously, therefore, and fought our way closer, for two days before we realized that our only hope lay in a 'coup de main,' as Effingham persisted in saying. It was on the third day that we got the only genuine response to our advance, and then a very ugly thing happened. The hottest firing came from an old thatched shack, and three or four of our fellows were dropped before we knew it. Kingdon got tired at last, and, thinking that he saw a human target through a hole in the thatch, he borrowed a rifle and emptied a clip at the opening. Whether his shooting?he certainly was a crackerjack?scared the garrison I don't know, but when we cleaned out that shack there were seven dead Filipinos, besides a woman?'Zu-Zu!' "I think that must have hurt poor Kingdon, for he didn't act like himself after that; seemed to believe that he had killed her, and began to mope a bit. He looked after her burial, too, and then seemed to liven up again. We found Major Effingham all right, and right glad he was to welcome us, for he'd made up his mind to clear out for civilization till the province was finally pacified. We had been sitting up quite late the night before we were to resume the march?major was a great hand for cold punch?and, r o M'rt (rrvf follrin rr ? Vvnnl' + owii-iLiw ^ 5^1 Laming auuut gilLTblo, superstitions and some of the supernatural things in which the natives firmly believed. It was past midnight, and the tropical moon was just setting, when Miss Effingham, looking out the window at a dismal little church set in the midst of a graveyard across the road, said: 'Mr. Kingdon, you may not believe in ghosts, but I daresay you wouldn't like now to go across into that deserted church and fetch me, say, a candle or a bunch of those flowers from its altar. I'd like to carry off a small memento of Arroyo and of?of your courage.' "Kingdon laughed merrily for the first time since he buried Zu-Zu, and started for the church. Except the Effinghams the Vv kola town was empty, for our men were strung in a belt of sentries all around the village, and the guard was at the lower end. So we laughed as we watched Kingdon run across the road, leap the low fence and disappear into the gloomy doorway of the church. We expected him back within 10 minutes, but got to chatting. In 20 minutes he had not returned. In half an hour Miss Effingham went to the door and listwed. No sound but the far-off cry of the sentries and the occasional howl of a dog broke the stillness. Then I became worried, summoned my orderly. who brought lanterns, and, with Major Effingham, followed Kingdon's tell you exactly how I felt then, but Major Effingham, who was quite superstitious, and the women, who had im,t bibed a lot of native folk-lore, were alt heartbroken as well as terrified at the horrible culmination of the harmless prank. 3 "Well, a battalion of the Thirty-fifth came to relieve us about daylight^ and we made a forced march to headquarters, carrying Lieut. Kiugdon's body with us. Our surgeon was determined 3 on an autopsy, and I must say that it seemed a necessary procedure under the circumstances. I had a secret belief that some Filipino, skulking in the empty church, had in some way, by poisoned s knife or the prick of an envenomed pin killed Kingdom An examination of the body, however, showed that there was not a scratch, not the least abrasion of any king, but there was a fresh rent in the lieutenant's blouse, just y near the hip seam on the left side. "He would have died suddenly within a month probably,' our surgeon assured y me, 'for he had an acute affection of * the heart. That tear in his blouse must * have been made by a nail.' "We went back to Arroyo and to the church," concluded Colonel Rumford, - "and sure enough, in the pillar of the s sanctuary railing, a jagged, protruding 3 nail with some threads from Kingdon's ' - blouse explained the rent garment. In > hurrying down the steps with Miss Effingham's mementos, a sudden tug at his blouse, coming out of the darkness, > as by some ghostly hand, had' frightl ened poor Kingdcn for the first time J in his life?and the last."?Chicago .

Strange as it- may seem Uncle Sam does not make use of the sun for ; reckoning time, but lie turns his [ attention to some of the regular, L steady-going stars, or "fixed stars," as they are ^called. Every clear night } an astronomer with a big telescope , looks at certain of these stars and makes his calculation from which he can tell just when the sun would ( cross the 75th meridian. One of the , great clocks in the observatory is tailed the transmitter, because it , transmits or sends out the signal that keeps standard time. This clock is , set and regulated by the star-time, and then every day at three minutes , and fifteen seconds before twelve a switch is turned on and the beats of | the pendulum of this clock are sent by electricity over the wires to the | telegraph offices in Washington and New York. When the telegraph operators hear this sound on their instruments they know that the noon sig- < nal is about to be sent out and they at once begin to connect the telegraph wires with other towns and cities, un' til in a minute or two the "tick, ' of the clock at Washington is heard in hundreds of telegraph offices. The beats stop at 10 seconds before 12 a3 ' a notice that the next "tick" will he ' 1 the noon signal, and so as to give the ' operators time to connect their wires with the standard time balls and 1 clocks. There are time balls in a great 1 many cities?usually on top of some prominent building, where they can easily be seen. The one at "Washing- 1 ton is on the roof of the state, war and navy department building, at the top ( of a high pole, ready to drop the instant the signal comes over the wire. In the government offices at Washing- ' ton and in many places in other cities there are large clocks connected with 1 the observatory by electricity. These 1 are so arranged that when the 12 o'clock signal is flashed over the wires ! the hands of each one of these clocks 1 spring to 12, no matter what time the J clock may show; in this way hundreds of clocks are set to the correct tirno I each day. Well, the moment the sun is supposed to cross the 75th meridian, the +oio?rrnnli insfrnmpnts give a single tick, the time balls drop, the clocks 1 begin to strike, and everybody in the district knows it is 12 o'clock.?Clif, ford Howard, in St. Nicholas.

DUCKS FROZEN IN A POND. Man in a Restaurant Tells His Friend a Wonderful Tale. "Every time it gets cold I want to get out on the prairie and hunt ducks," said a man to friend in a down town restaurant last Sunday, when the mercury danced about zero. "I went duck hunting once and made a reputation for myself that time, and for the last ten years I've wanted to repeat my old trip. "I was visiting down in the corn belt one December. The ducks that year flew across the prairies by the millions. Of course, most of them had gone further south by that season of the year, but hundreds of them still remained. The prairies in those days were dotted with small ponds, and there was do end to the shooting season. "I had been hunting several days that December, and hod not made much of a reputation for myself. I bagged a few teals and on occasional spike-tail, and at intervals I would bring down a bigger one. Well, one morning I awoke and it was as cold as Greenland. I thought it "would be useless to lnnk for winaed game that da?, but I wanted to do a little rabbit shooting. I got up and before breakfast started out along the hedges and found a couple of cotton tails. I suppose I had walked about a mile from the house when I heard a strange noise out in one of the fields. ."I walked in that direction and soon saw about a quarter of a mile away a good-s.ized pond. I knew the racket came from there, and I got over as fast as my legs could carry me. If I live to be 500 years old I'll never forget the looks of that pond. It had frozen over during the night and hundreds of ducks were imprisoned by the sheet of ice. When they tried to liy as I came upon them the ice held their legs fast. A few of them did get away, but I got most of tliem. I didnN fire a shot. I just walked out and clubbed the birds to death. I co'.ilo hardly step without crushing a duck. When I got tired of clubbing them I began pulling off their heads, and after working for more than an hour I had a pile of game that would fill a big dump cart. "It was the greatest hunt I ever had. and I don't believe there is a man in the State that ever bagged more game in one day. 1 never counted the birds, but I think 300 would be a very safe estimate of.the number I killed. "But those days have passed. The ponEs have been drained, and the praririe hunter who can now bag"half a dozen ducks in an all day hunt considers himself pretty lucky."?Chicago Inter-Ocean. A Vegetable Chair. One of the most wonderful pieces of furniture in the world is the vegetable chair which came from Corea, and has grown from a single seed, planted twenty-six years ago. The seed was that of a gingko tree. In fertile soil and amid sunshine and rain the sped grew into a vine, which the native gardener set about to fashion by ingen lous twistings, compressions, and trainings into an arm chair. Much pruning was necessary in order to make the lower branches develop In size and strength. The chair was carefully formed, by tying the young and pliable branches together with strong fibre ropes, and as the tree expanded the ropes held firm. The chair we.ghs more than one hundred pounds, and is even harder, j sturdier and more imperishable than oak. It is three feet four inches in height, and twenty-five inches in width, and some of the knots which formed between the binding ropes are twenty-one inches in circumference. The bark has been removed, and the surface, which-is golden brown in color, has taken a fine polish, and in spite of its look of lumpy antagonism it is quite as comfortable as the con* ventional factory made chair.
