I had taken all kinds of medicine, but none did me any good. “Peruna has made me a well and happy girl. I can never say too much for Peruna.” Not only women of rank and leisure prai*e Peruna, but the industrious, use ful women engaged in honest toil would not be without Dr. Hartman’s world renowned remedy.

DOES NOT PASS LIKE SHADOW Musician Who Believes He Can Photo graph Souls Says Angel at Death Takes Them For Other Bodies. Everything In the Univercs Is Soul, Says Scientist—Only Love Real. That he has located the seat of the soul Is now attested by Professor Henry Price, a retired musician of Mount Vernon. N. Y., who sought to obtain permission of Bellevue hospital in New York to experiment with dying patients and take photographs of the soul In flight from the body, says the New York Journal. In explaining his theory of the soul’s passage and the chance of photographing It, Price said: "The soul of a man is soft and gela tinous, small, practically shapeless and situated beneath the first rib. Below the Adam’s apple in a man and in a woman at the base of her throat Is a spot of little or no resistance. It is from this place, when the hour of death has come, that the soul must be taken. It does not pass like a shadow. It is not a flight. "The soul must be drawn out by an angel sent by God to perform this operation. And this seat of life is transferred, warm, palpitating, to a body the counterpart of the one it has left. It is substance, material and could be as well caught by the camera as the human face. “I am not lu auy sense a spiritualist. In fact, I believe the first effect of my photography of the soul would be to annihilate their doctrine. Neither do 1 believe in transmigration as general ly understood. I do not think, by auy means, that all men have souls. You iijay or may not have a soul, according as you have merited it from the Deity. If you have insulted him, if you have outraged Ids laws, you will remain the brute and fall into dust whence you came. There is no such thing as eter nity. “Do 1 not think Ihe soul goes on through the ages? Certainly not. This body of mine, for instance, is old and worn. It is diseased to some extent. But even if there were no disease it still must wear out like a machine. It Is the same with the soul. When the body has rv.n its course the soul is wrenched from Its resting place by the angel and put into another body just like it. It is lu that second life that the soul runs out and is no more. The life principle is extinguished.” During the greater part of a recent afternoon 1 sat in a cozy room at the Faculty club, University of California, and talked with Dr. John Ellla McTag- gart, D. Litt., the man who says tha dogs and horses and cows and pigs have souls aud that mules and chick ens, elephants, kangaroos, hippopotami and all other queer things are immor tal and can never die, writes a San Francisco correspondent of the New York American. Dr. McTaggart Is a great scholar, one of the world's most eminent thinkers In his chosen line of philosophy. He Is a fellow and lecturer of Trinity col lege, Cambridge university of England. At present he Is lecturing at the Uni versity of California’s summer school. “You say that human souls are Im mortal?” I asked Dr. McTaggart. “I so believe,” the philosopher an swered. “And that dogs and horses, cows aud pigs, and the fishes and the reptiles and all other intelligent creatures have souls that are Immortal like ours?” “Yes, I believe that.” “In what way does the soul of a dog or of auy other lower animal differ from a human soul?” “Only In degree.” “You recogulze degrees of advance ment among souls of all classes, hu man or otherwise?” “Certainly.” “But all these souls are immortal?” “I mean continued existence.” “Had the universe a beginning and will it have an end?” “I don’t know. But I believe In the continuous existence of the soul while there Is a universe. “This calls for previous existence of all things now alive?” ’‘Yes, immortality extends backward as well as forward.” “We do not remember any past ex Isteuce. Will we In a next life remem ber this one?” “I see no reason for believing we will.” * These views were not surprising, for they are familiar atheistic beliefs, but Dr. McTaggart rendered me almost speechless when he, as an atheist, do nied the existence of matter, denied the existence of all material things, say ing that everything in the universe was soul and that our bodies, our physical selves, were merely dreams, delusions. Still further he astounded me by ex pressing confidence that In the next life and in each succeeding existence, the souls that are attracted to one an other lu this life will be brbught to gether in each succeeding existence, though unconsciously: that the loves of this world will be f<>.-<*ver perpetuated, as they have forever been perpetual. The Cambridge professor showed three of his published books to me, and while looking through “Some Dog mas of Religion,” the principal vol ume, I found In regard to the discus sion of love on earth and In the future life this declaration: “What Is won In one life may be preserved In another If the people who love In the first life love the same people* In the second and If their love Is greater In the second because it was there lu the first Character Sketch of “Fighting Bob” Evans. FORTY-ONE YEARS IN SERVICE Admiral Appointed to Command Great Fleet For the Pacific Is Never Afraid to Speak His Mind—Will Fight at Any Time—Instances of Hie Bravery and Chivalry. lu all quarters of the United States and In most quarters of the world the announcement the other day that Rear Admiral liobley D. Evans Is to have command of the great squadron of battleships to lie sent to the Pacific has been received with deepest Inter est, says the New York Evening World. That A .miral Evans, who under the cognomen of "Fighting Bob” shares with Lord Charles Beresford, his clos est personal friend, the reputation of being the most popular commander that ever wore a naval uniform, should now be placed In command of the largest fleet ever assembled for the longest voyage Is regarded as the fitting crown to a career luminous with the record of daredevil bravery and brilliant achievement. From the day when, forty-six years ago, at the outbreak of the civil war. he successfully opposed his mother’s written request for his release from the Naval academy. In which he was then serving, until the present day bis name has been a synonym for all the finest qualities of the sailor. He had been only two years In the service when, as a midshipman, he led the famous attack on Fort Fisher, capturing the seemingly Impregnable fortress In the face of a rain of bullets and shrapnel shells and In that mo ment earned the pseudonym by which he Is known In every quarter of the civilized world. It Is told of him how, being found at the bottom of a trench under a heap of wounded, he Insisted that two men of his command should receive tin* first attention of the doctors. When Hie en thusiastic young surgeon In whose care he had been placed proposed to remove his legs he threatened death and de struction to any doctor or set of doc tors who should try to end his career In that fashion. In spite of the warn ings of doctors of gangrene he kept his legs and save for a slight lameness completely recovered. It was In ISSO, after twenty years of service, that ho attracted the attention of President Cleveland. In 1S01, with his first great opportunity, he earned worldwide fame. The series of out rages committed by the Chilean mob on the sailors of the Baltimore had aroused the country. Evans. In com mand of the Yorktown, steamed into the harbor of Valparaiso, demanded and obtained • an apology from the Chilean government and the com mander of the Chilean man-of-war for the stoning of the American sailors, announced that all political refugees seeking shelter on hoard the Yorktown would be protected to the last shot and that any further acts of hostility would result In bombardment of the city. Ills action received the highest praise from every European nation. His achievements In the destruction of the Spanish fleet off Santiago, when, as commander of the Iowa, he attacked and sank the famous Spanish warship Viscaya, are matters of recent history. The whole quality of the man which has made him the idol of the men of the navy is Illustrated In his reply to the protest of a convention of clergy men who regretted that he had not fol lowed the example of Captain Philip of the Texas and ordered prayer in time of action. “The chaplain had suggested that we should have prayer,” said Admiral Evans, “and I was about to order the men aft for that purpose when I saw a Spanish warship bearing down upon us. It seemed to me then that my first duty to my God and my country demanded that I should sink that ship first and pray afterward.” And all the world applauded when, receiving Captain Eulate, the Vlsca- ya’s commander, on board the Iowa as a prisoner, he refused with fine chivalry to accept the sword of his vanquished foe. Whenever criticism was demanded, even of his superiors. Admiral Evans has not hesitated to express his opin ions with a directness that left no doubt of his meaning, and his book, “A Bailor's Log,” published some little time after the close of the Spanlsh- Amerlcun war, got him Into endless hot water with all sorts and condi tlons of naval men, his criticism of the attack on the Colon by Admiral Schley during the engagement at Santiago provoking a storm of opposition from the partisans of that officer.
