Children that have been housed up all winter are brought out and you wonder where they all came from. The heavy winter clothing is thrown aside and many shed their fannels. Then a cold wave comes and people say that grip is epidemic. Colds at this season are even more dangerous than in mid-winter, as there is much more danger of pneumonia. Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, however, and you will have nothing to fear. It always cures, and we have never known a cold to result in pneumonia when it was used. It is pleasant and safe to take. Children like it. Eor sale by all druggists. OBITUARY. Death Mrs. Lucas.

This weird and uncomfortable-looking costume is made entirely of spilat reeds, fastened together with grass; and the unhappy bachelor who contemplates matrimony is compelled to wear it for the wedding ceremony. A wedding event takes place, meanwhile leading a life of strict segregation. Pauper Clergyman That ministers are underpaid would seem evident from the fact that during the last ten years 103 clergymen have been admitted to mishouses in England as papers. Of these, one was a doctor of divinity, while the other was a priest of arts. Of all the Episcopal clergymen in England, 6,000 earn less than $20 a week, and the greatest majority much less.—The Sunday Magazine. Masterpiece of Peter Palkoo.

Geographical Peculiarity The most advanced grand division of the old world-Europe has the greatest number of islands in proportion to its area, dropping the island continent of Australia out of consideration. Africa, the least civilized and populated continent, has no islands of any importance off its shores. Teach Scientific Gardening. In the national schools of Sweden and in the colleges for the education of national school teachers scientific gardening is taught. Children receive practical instruction in the cultivation of plants, berries, flowers, herbs and fruits, and in the management of hotbeds, greenhouses and so forth. Editing the Consular Reports. In the bureau of trade relations the consular reports are carefully read, and when necessary, so revised as to eliminate everything unsuitable for publication from the standpoint of the interests of the government. Not infrequently a report is of such character as to make it inexpedient to publish any portion, in which case it is filed in toto in the archives of the department of state for future reference. All statements in the reports calculated to cause adverse criticism in a foreign country, or to bring about diplomatic representations on the part of another government, or to embark the administration of any executive branch of our own government are omitted from the material transmitted to the department of commerce and labor for publication. Under the head of matter that is objectionable because of its probable effect in a foreign community, explains John Hall Goborne in Atlantic Month, some allighting allusions to any nationality or race; adverse criticism, even implied, of the political, social or religious institutions; disparaging statements in regard to the enforcement of the laws; charges of dishonesty and inefficiency of the officials, etc. In short, anything that reflects on the integrity and efficiency of the foreign administration, or that might offend the sensibilities of the people of the country, is eliminated in the state department, which is, of course, the best judge of the diplomatic proprieties. The Paris of South America. Buenos Ayres is "the whole thing" in Argentina. I know no country in the world which is so dominated by its capital, writes Albert Hale in The Reader. If the traveler comes from the interior after leaving behind the splendors of Andean scenery and crossing the 500 miles of prairie, he feels like a swimmer who has been a long time under water and takes his first deep breath of civilization when he enters the city. I arrived at six o'clock in the morning, before the busy time of the harbor awoke. As we rolled along the broad water front and up the Avenda Mayo, I said to myself, "I must have taken the wrong steamer or I am dreaming. Surely I am in Europe." It was not that things seemed European or that it was easy to detect an imitation; it was Europe. No amount of self-argument would overcome this illusion; the asphalt smelt as it does in Europe and was cleaned in the European way; the little trees grew in the tradition of European culture, the buildings were French, the safes, the news-stands, all the lazy life of the early morning was continental. . . No wonder a chaty old French lady asked me at dejuner, "How do you like Buenos Ayres? It's Little Paris, isn't it?" Physical Condition of the Poor. It is an old saying that every inch a man adds to his chest measure adds to the measure of his days. America can show twice as many physicians to population as Great Britain, and four times as many as Germany. We have 70 times as many physicians in proportion to the general population as physical directors. We permit this disparity on the theory, perhaps, that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Prevention needs more numerical representation. I am, then, pleading, contends Stickney Grant in North American Review, that the following steps may be taken in public school instruction: 1. An effective system of physical education to be a recognized part of our public school system. By "effective". I mean one that does for a boy, so far as his physique is susceptible, what the United States army setting-up exercises do for a recruit. The precise system to be established by a committee of experts. 2. Athletic exercises in schools, using gymnasiums, baths, etc. 3. Open-air exercises and sports under official supervision. 4. Summer camps, of cost and compulsory in attendance, for boys of school age. 5. A noon meal for poor children in elementary and high schools. How Roosevelt found time to write that article on "The Ancient Irish Sagas" is puzzling many persons. It will be remembered that the president announced that he would not write any articles for magazines during his term. Perhaps the Irish sagas essay was written at Harvard, and has been lost in the shuffle at the magazine office ever since. In the charge that the Cherokee Indians make that there was graft in the fee paid the lawyers engaged in the settlement of their land claims the Indians show that, though they may be backwoodsmen, they are not back numbers. If the Standard Oil company is declared guilty it will have to pay fines, it is said amounting to $80,000,000, but if this is so there will be a great deal of friction that oil cannot reduce before they are liquidated. This prophet business ought to be stopped by due process of law. They are arising all over the country, and none of them have anything to predict that is cheerful in the outlook. Just now the fashionable style in predicte runs to earthquakes.

DISPENSATORY Describes the Principal ingredients Contained in Pourage. Are we claiming too much for Peruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in reality such a catarrh remedy? Let us see what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrasil canadensis, or golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of deprived mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dysppepsia (catarrh of the shamch), chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhinal jaundice, (catarrh of the liver) and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. The another ingredient of Peruna, corydalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also is cubeba classed as an stomachic and as a tonic for the mucous membranes. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. The seeds are to be found in very few drug stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as substitute for quinine. Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genitoro-entire membranes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys. Send to us for a free book of testimonials of what the people think of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The best evidence is the testimony of those who have tried it. TRUE SPIRIT OF COURTESY. Impulse Prompted by Owner's Noble ness of Heart. Courteye is a quality of the heart and suggests a forgetfulness of self, a refinement and delicacy of temperament that prompts the charming act as impulse. The gentle spirit of courteye bestows the mannequin in the manner of addressing a servant or a weary assistant behind the counter, as well as friends and acquaintances. A lack of courteye often results from a mistaken idea as to one's own importance. The thought is born in the heart; but a false idea of independence presents action. It merely is an act of courteye and a mark of nobleness of mind voluntarily assign one's right in favor of another. It is the same mistaken idea that confuses frankness with rudeness. It is a virtue not to resort to the many佯 deceptions that mar our social system. While we turn with disgust from the woman who bids her friend an affectionate farewell one moment and breathes a sigh of relief at her departure the next, we can but admit that a truly courteous heart will refrain from speaking an unpleasant truth without impingering the person's veracity.

PRINCIPAL ALSO IS KILLED Little Ones Refuse to Pass Through Smoke-Filled Hall and Are Surf- Montreal, Que.-Principal Maxwell and 16 children persisted in a fire which broke out Tuesday afternoon in the Hochelaga school of the Protest ant school commission. The school was located in a brick two-story building in the east end of the city and was attended by about 200 children whose parents are mechanics living in the neighborhood. The fire started from the furnaces and was first noticed by workmen employed near by. The teachers were notified and the work of getting the children out of the building began. The kindergarten department was on the second floor and it was here that the loss of life occurred. The children were started out, but or reaching the landing, found the lower hall full of smoke. Into this they refused to descend, though the way at this time was quite safe. Huddled together on the stairway at first, they retreated to the rooms from which they had come. When the fire rived an extension was placed in position and a large number of children were received in this way. The fire in the work was Miss Max-well. The fire by this time was making its way upwards and the smoke was growing so dense that even the experienced firemen could not stand it. Capt. Carson endeavored to get Miss Maxwell to go down the ladder, but she refused, and evilding the attempt to detain her, rushed back into the back part of the building in search of others of the little ones. When she were finally able to make their way to the back portion of the building she was found lying on the floor, with a little one beside her. All those who perished died from asphyxiation. The building was unprovided with fire escapes. Miss Maxwell, principal of the school, was 31 years of age. The children who were killed ranged from three to eight years. SENATOR BAILEY INDORSED.

NEED OF STANDARD WEIGHTS. Wheat Sold by 20 Different Measures in Great Britain. The advocates of the metric system want no better justification than tables just prepared for the year book of the British Auctioneers' Institute. It is learned from this that the price of wheat is made and the cereal is sold in 20 different ways in England, Scotland and Wales. It is variously by the quarter, comb, load, bushel, bushel, hundred-weight, cereal, wheel and hobber. Further confusion is caused by varying weights of a bushel in different parts of the country. A.boll is three bushels in some places and four and six in others. There are similar absurd variations in other weights and measures. For instance, a stone of meat is eight pounds, a stone of iron 14 pounds, a stone of cheese 16 pounds and a stone of bread 16 pounds. There are seven different areas of the standard acre in Great Britain. The vagaries of liquid measures are equally bewildering.

Fortunately the train took a course northwest from the track and after running over 200 feet along the slips plunged into a railing. The four cars piled in a heap almost directly over the engine.

Thinley that he received of his trial in the superior court yesterday by giving out to newspaper men the following statement: This is Mr. Thaw's second statement since Aug. 10. With chances millions to one against her after the catastrophe in 1901, it is wonderful that Mrs. Thaw prevailed in the cross-examination against the prosecution backed by blacklegs. Her testimony was absolute truth. Our evidence was of conver tions. The cross-examination has proved the exact facts under oath. Mr. Jerome finding his inquiries in certain lines falsifiers, concluded by more usual methods, which is to his credit. However, from some of his questions and some of his unprofessional remarks in court, it appeared clearly that the natural and goodness of the witness is above his comprehension."

TRY TO AVERT BIG STRIKE. General Managera Offer to Arbitrate with Men. Chicago, March 1- Arbitration was offered by the railroad managers yesterday as a means to avert a great strike in the event of an unfavorable vote by the traineer and committee members of the railroads. Whether this offer will ultimately be accepted by the employees involved none of the officers of the organizations would venture an opinion. It is practically certain, however, that the strike will not be accepted by the men, and that the strike vote will be carried by a large majority.

Wallace, Ida., March 1.—That a deliberate conspiracy was formed among the detectives to implicate the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners in the assassination of ex-Governor Stevenenburg, and that the conspiracy was to be backed by false evidence, by threats and bullied by the detectives. By Steve Adams before the court, yesterday, Adams confirmed all the early part of the confession as to his family and past history, but denied that part relating to the plot to kill Stevenenburg and his life in the Miracle Creek country. MARDSHIPS OF ARMY LIFE. Left Thousands of Veterans with Kidney Troubles. The experience of David W. Martin, a retired merchant of Bolivar, Mr. is just like thousands of others. Mr. Martin says: "I think I have had kidney disease ever since the war. During an engagement my horse fell on me, straining my back and injuring just like thousands of others. Mr. Martin says: "I think I had kidney disease ever since the war. During an engagement my horse fell on me, straining my back and injuring the kidneys. I have been told I had a failing kidney. I had intense pain in the back, headaches and dizzy spells and the action of the bladder was very irregular. About a year ago I tried Doan's Kidney Pills and found such great relief that I continued, and aside a comparatively short time was entirely rid of kidney trouble." Sold by all dealers. 60 cents a box Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. Hardly What He Wanted. Hardly What He Wanted. Aldou Douglas, who will succeed Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio in the next house, is not weighted down with worldly goods, and was rather startled by an experience he had while looking around Washington for quarters. At one of the good hotels he was shown a suite consisting of bedroom, parlor and bedroom. On inquiring the monthly bill, he was told only $1,000 for yourself and wife." He recovered his breath, which he managed to do without showing a title of his astonishment, he said with great calmness. "I'll write my wife all about the rooms and let her know beforehand what comforts we shall have when we come here to live. So until I hear from her you need not mark me for this suite. She may think from the price that your hotel is not the kind we ought to live in." Feminine Amenities "Not that the poctess over there in the corner who came to see us after dinner the other night?" asked the girl, "and wept all over the place, telling us her tale of woe; wept so that I went out and got some things for her dinner and cooked them for her and you brought out a bottle of your very best wine and gave it to her?" "Yes," returned the woman, "she doesn't seem to see us now, does she?" "The next time she comes to us with her tale of woe," affirmed the girl severely, "she won't see us, if we catch a glimpse of her first." Poetess Highly Honored. Mile. Andre Corthia, whose poems in the volume entitled "Gemmes et Moire" have won high praise, has been chosen poet laureate of France for the year past.

SOME POINTS ABOUT NEEDLES. The Evolved Product of Centuries of Invention. The point of a needle is a very important part of that useful little instrument, and there are many points about needles calculated to interest the general public. The daily consumption of needles all over the world is something like 3,000,000, while every year the women of the United States break, lose and use some 300,000 of those tiny tools. Few people while threading a needle have ever given a thought to the various processes through which the wire must pass before it comes out a needle. Yet the manufacture of needles includes some 21 different processes from cutting the wire and threading the double needles by the way to separating the two needles on the one length of wire, heading, hardening in oil, cleaning out the sides of the eye, point-setting, and final polishing. For wrapping purple paint, since it prevents the rusting. There are many uses of needles, for surpresons' books, glovemakers, weavers, salmakers, broommakers, milliners and dressmakers' use. The needle is the evolved product of centuries of invention. In its primitive form it was made of bone, ivory, or wood. Point by point its manufacture has improved, until this little but not insignificant instrument is now one of the highly-finished products of twentieth century machinery and skill.—Eton's Herald. A FRIEND'S TIP. 10-Year-Old Man Not too old to Accept a Food Pointer. "For the last 20 years," writes a Maine man, "I've been troubled with Dyspepsia and liver complaint, and save tried about every known remedy without much in the way of results mill I took up the food question. "A friend recommended Grape-Nuts food, after I had taken all sorts of medicines with only occasional, temporary relief. "This was about nine months ago, and I began the Grape-Nuts for breakfast, with cream and a little sugar. Since then I have had the food for at least one meal a day, usually for breakfast. "Words fail to express the benefit I received from the use of Grape-Nuts. My stomach is almost entirely free from pain and my liver complaint is about cured.

Senator Pettus was a lieutenant in the Mexican war; he rode horseback to California with the "forty-niners" and was advanced from the rank of major to that of brigadier general in the confederate army. He was admitted to the bar at Gainesville, Ala., when he became 21 years of age. At this time Texas was an independent republic, California was a part of Mexico and Great Britain was disputing the American claim to the Oregon country. Andrew Jackson was then supreme in politics and was yet to succeed in making Polk president of the United States. Stimulate the Blood. Brandreth's Pills are the great blood purifier. They are a laxative and blood tonic, they act equally on the bowels, kidneys, and skin, thus cleansing the system by the natural outlet of the body. They stimulate the blood so to enable nature to throw off all morbid humors and cure all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood. One or two taken every night will prove an invaluable remedy. Each pill contains one grain of solid extract of sarsaparilla, which, with other valuable vegetable products, make it a blood purifier unexcelled. Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated. Destruction of Fleas The Agricultural Research institute of Bengal has concluded a series of scientific experiments to determine the best method of destroying fleas, the investigation having special reference to checking the ravages of the plague. The formula recommended is the free use of crude oil emulsion—80 per cent of crude petroleum mixed with 20 per cent of whale oil soap. This combination makes a jelly which mixes freely with water, and is generally used at three per cent. solution, at 16 per cent. it destroys all fleas with perfect containment. It is applied to floors and walls with a sprayer. It is said that an animal washed with it will be entirely relieved of the pests. VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA. Buffered Three Years—Physiclane Did No Good—Perfectly Well After Using Cuticura Remedies. "I take great pleasure in informing you that I was a sufferer of eczema in a very bad form for the past three years. I consulted and treated with a number of physicians in Chicago, but to no avail. I commenced using the Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three months ago, and to-day I am prefectly well, the disease having left me entirely. I cannot be accommodated. Remedies are too high to any one suffering with the disease that I have had. Mrs. Florence E. Atwood, 18 Crilly Place, Chicago, Ill., October 2, 1905. Witness: L. S. Berger." ONLY HIS JUST DESERTS. Editor Had Good Reason for Publishing Name of Contributor. For six months or more the drug- gist's assistant had occupied his leisure moments by writing verses for the village paper, in the "poets' corner" of which publication they appeared an- onymously every Thursday. On opening his copy of the Weekly Bugle one morning, and turning first, as was his regular habit, to that particular corner, he was surprised and gratified beyond measure to see his name in full appended to his latest poetical outbreak. He hastened to call at the office of the Bugle. "He," he said to the editor, "I want to thank you for signing my name to my poem in this week's paper. It encourages a yellow when he gets proper credit for his work." "Oh, that's all right, Johnson," responded the editor. "We thought it was about time to place the responsibility for that poetry where it belonged."-Youth's Companion. THIS IS WORTH SAVING. Valuable Advice and Recipe by Well Known Authority.

Use for Hot Potatoes. Dr. Herbert Clalborne of New York, something of an inventive genius and noted for good looks as well as for medical skill, suffers from cold hands in winter. And nothing will warm his fingers except hot water, a hot fire or a hot potato. He can be seen almost any frosty morning marching along at five miles an hour with a hot potato in each overcast pocket and his hands grasping the tubers. He has two big potatoes piping hot wrapped in silk handkerchiefs for this purpose. "They will keep your hands warm for hours unless you happen to sit on 'em," he says.

MILLER "I am not feeling very well" "I am so nervous it seems as though I should fly" "My backaches as though it would break." How often do you hear these significant expressions from women on friends. More than likely you speak women words yourself, and there is a cause. More than thirty years ago Lydia E Pinkham of Lynn, Mass, discovered the source of nearly all the suffering women experience. These two words are full of more misery to women than any other two words that can be found in the language of the spirits, reluctance to go anywhere, backaches, headaches, nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing-down sensations, displacements and bruises are the bane of woman's existence. The same woman who discovered the cause of all this misery also discovered a remedy, Lydia E.

Where the Acorns Are A new instructor in natural history has made his advent in Central park, New York. Going up to a group of children, a man said: "You are wasting your time here.

I did so, and the next morning my watch and pocketbook had disappeared."—Translated Tales from Fillegende Blatter. Sex Proportion In America The United States has a greater excess of male inhabitants than is found in any other country in the civilized world.

Horses In Shrimp Fishing Horses play an important part in shrimp fishing along the Belgian coast. A procession of weather-beat en fishermen starts from the shore, each man mounted on the back of a trained horse, dragging the triangular purse-shaped net, which scoops in the shrimps as it passes over the sands. These fishermen on horseback frequently make hauls of several hundred weight in a single trip. Frozen Meat Frozen meat will keep any length of time.

Useless Advice to Soldiers.
