SIGNS OF EARLY SPRING.
Some Seen by Prof. Von Jogglefcy
from His Study Window—
Backyard Scenes.
“I know when spring is at
hand,” said Prof, von Joggleby,
aeeording to the New York Sun,
“by the things I see in the range
of backyards in view from m.v
study window.
“In the sheltered corner of some
of these yards, where it is pro
tected from the cold winds and
where it gets not only the direct,
but from the sheltering fences,
the reflected rays of the advanc
ing season’s warmer sun, the
grass begins to grow green while
yet there may he in other parts of
the yard patches of snow and ice.
Tin* eager grass responds to the
first call of spring.
“And so do the dwellers in tin*
houses to which these yards are at
tached. On that same day in some
of these yards there were people
out raking up the winter’s debris;
the scraps and pieces of paper,
and the twigs and the sticks, left
on the ground after the melting
away of its w inter covering. They
had sensed the approach of spring
and they were cleaning up; and on
the first occasion, anyway, they
were moved no doubt not so much
by a desire for neatness and trim
ness in their several yards as by
an inward prompting to get back
to them once more; to mother
earth.
“It doesn’t matter to me what
the ground hog may say, or how
many other indications may
point, I always know when spring
is at ha ml by these two signs, by
the coming green of the tufts of
grass in the sheltered corners of
my back yard, and by the appear
mice of my neighbors at work
cleaning up.”
NOT THE ORIGINAL BOAT.
Shell Seen by Visitors at Columbia
Kot the One in Which Her
i Crew Won at Henley.
Columbia students and gradu
ates will be disappointed to learn
that the old shell hung in the uni
versity trophy room on Morning
side Heights is not the original
boat in which the Columbia crew
won the Visitors’ Challenge cup
at Henley in 1S78. The shell, says
the New York Sun, occupies tin*
most prominent position in the
room and has been pointed out to
every visitor as tin* only American
boat manned by a college crew to
win at Henley.
The first doubt as to the authen
ticity of the boat was expressed
several months ago by Francis
Sedgwick Bangs, a trustee of the
university, who has always been
prominent in Columbia’s rowing
interests. Subsequent investiga
tions have shown that on the day
before the Henley crew sailed for
America Capt. Goodwin sold the
two shells which Columbia had
taken to England to Cambridge
university, where they were used
till a very few years ago, when
they were broken up.
There is some consolation for
the Columbia men in the fact that
the oars used by her crew in this
race, which are also on view in the
trophy room, are tin* real ones
brought back by the crow and sub
sequently presented to the uni
versity.
‘•Radium Sirup.’'
A practical joke, now common
among Parisians, is to go into a
drug store and ask for three cents’
worth of radium. At first the
chemists took it good-naturedly,
but latterly it has become quite a
nuisance. One chemist in the
Rue de Rivoii has just hit upon a
way of getting even with the
would-be jokers. He has made a
concoction which he calls “radium
sirup,*’ and when the practical
joker arrives gravely hands out a
small quantity, charging an extra
two cents for the bottle.
FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiser”?
Subjects at Present Residing in
South America.
German migration to South
America, and especially to some
of the southern states of Brazil,
is periodically a canse of com
ment and concern to some who
think they see therein a sinister
! scheme of imperial conquest.
For two or three strong reasons,
says the New York Tribune, such
fears seem to us to be not well
founded. One such reason is
that the number of Germans in
Brazil is not. after all, ominous
ly large. The total population of
Brazil, according to the census
of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later
census returns are available, but
careful estimates now place the
total at moi«* than 17,000,000, of
which number less than 3.000,000
are Indians and negroes, leaving
certainly more than 14,000,000
whites. Of these, in 1001, only
2.700.000 were immigrants, and
of the latter number only 300,000
were Germans.
The latest and highest esti
mate of the number of Germans
in Brazil is only 450,000, or a 1 it
tie over three per cent, of the i
whole. Really, we cannot regard
that as a dangerous ]>ercentage.
Nor does it represent the largest
foreign element, by any means.
Portuguese immigrants into Bra
zil are twice as numerous, and
Italians three times as numer
ous, as the Germans. Nor yet
are these Germans so massed in
certain states as to form a ma
jority of their population, as
some have imagined. Germans
are most numerous in Rio
Grande do Sul, where there are
200.000 of them, but the whole
population of the state is 900,000,
so that the Germans are less
than one fourth. In Santa Catha
rina the Germans are 100,000 in a
total of 300,000, or one-tliird,
the largest proportion in any
state. In Parana they are 47,000
in 280,000, and in Sao Paulo 30,
000 in 1,430,000.
It is pointed out as omir.oes
that these Germans continue td
use their own language, to pub
lish newspapers in German and
to demand the official use of that
language in courts and schools.
Well, the same may be said of
Germans in Xew York, and in
Milwaukee, and in many other
parts of the United States.
The conquest which Germany
hopes for in Brazil is not polit
ical. but commercial. The profit
she looks for in this migration of
her subjects is to be found in in
creased commerce. In that Ger
many reckons shrewdly. Every
shipload of Germans landed in
Brazil creates a demand for
many shiploads of German man
ufactured goods. Every so-called
German colony in Brazil means
a market for German trade.
Upon this feature of the ease too
much stress cannot easily be laid.
Turkish Beds.
A recent writer on Turkey says:
•‘Bedsteads are not used by the
Turks. Each room contains a
large cupboard, built into the
wall, in which the bedding is piled
during the day, and at night the
slaves come in when summoned to
make up the bods on the floor.
Other bedroom requisites, in the
shape of washstands, dressing
tables and wardrobes, are dis
pensed with as sujiertluons. For
everyday ablution there is a small
washing room with a hole in the
floor for the water to escape
through, and if the hanun would
wash her hands and face only, a
slave brings the ewer and basin
and pours the water over her
hands. For special ablutions she
will go either to her oavii private
haminam or to the public baths.
She ‘does her hair,’ or has it done
for her, seated cross legged in her
corner of the divan; and the old
walnut-wood chests and coffers iu
her treasure-room suflic<* to store
%
her gauzes and brocades, her silks
and embroideries.”
SHE SOWED LIVER PILLS.
But It Is Not at A11 Likely That She
Waited for Them to
Take Root.
There in a woman in Phoenix, Arb.,
who lias tiie correct idea all right, hut,
whether it will work out remains for the
future to disclose, states tue Republican
of that town.
Recently her husband bought a small
ranch, and with lorn she has been much
interested in planning improvements, espe
cially in the growing line, with which to
adorn the place.
The other nay beds were prepared for
sweet peas, and the lady' of the house was
busily engaged in assorting her seeds and
carrying the little packets out of doors.,
where their contents were transferred to
the beds in regular order. As each variety
was planted, the name was placed on a
small marker, as is the custom with gar
deners.
In a particularly choice location the con
tents of a packet were laboriously dropped,
one bv one, until the row was tilled and
the earth nicelv smoothed over it. When
the lady picked up the packet to properly
write the marker she discovered that she
had carefully planted her mother's pack
age of liver puls.

For Growing Girls.
West Pembroke, Me., March 21.—Mrs.
A. L. Smith, of this place, says tint
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes
her recommendation by the following ex
perience:
"My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was hist taken with Crazy
spells that would last a week and would
then pass oft. In a month she would have
the spells again. At these times she
would eat very little and was very yellow,
even the whites of her eyes would be yel
low.
"The doctors gave us no encouragement,
they all said they could not help her.
After taking one box of Dodd’s Kidney
Pills, she has not had one bail spell. Of
course, we continued ttie treatment un
til she had used in all about a dozen
boxes, and we stiil give them to her oc
casionally. when she is not feeling well.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the be.-;,
medicine for growing girls.'”
Mothers should heed the advice if Mrs.
Smith, for by so uomg they may save
their daughters much pain and sickness
and ensure a healthy happy future fur
them.

THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME
fire Never Without Peruna in the House
for Catarrhal Diseases.
WWWttVttUWNtllll... X?
MR. AND MRS. J. 0. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENT E, MO.
UNDER date of January 10, 1S97, Dr.
Hartman received the following’
letter:
“My wife had been suffering from a
complication of diseases for the past 25
years,
“ Her case had baffled the skill of some
of the most noted physicians. One of
tier worst troubles was chrouic consti
pation of several years’ standing.
“She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
woman—change of life. In June, 1895,
1 wrote to you about her case. You ad
vised a course of Peruna and Manalin,
which we at once commenced, and have
to say it completely cured her. She
firmly believes that she would have been
deadotily for these wonderful remedies.
“About the same time I wrote yon
about ray own cii.se of catarrh, which
had been of 25 years’standing. Attimes
1 was almost past going. I commenced
touse Peruna according to your instruc
tionsami cont inued its use for Shout a
year, and it has completely cured ine.
••Your remedies do all that yon claim
for them, and even more. Catarrh
cinnot exist where Peruna h taken
according to directions. Success to
y ou and your remedies. ”
John O. Acklnson.
In a letter dated January 1. 1900, Mr.
Atkinson says, after five years’ expe
rience with Peruna:
“ / will ever continue tc speak a good
word for Peruna. In nty rounds as a
traveling man I am n walking adver
tisement for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year to
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. I am still cured of catarrh.”
John O. Atkinson, a
Box 272, Independence, Mo.
When old npe comes on, eat a rrlial Ujs
I cases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
Thisexplains why ITruna has become
so indispensable to old people. I’ernna
is their safe-g'tiard. Peruna i> t'ue only
remedy yet devised that meets these
j cases exactly.
Such cum s cannot be t eated locally;
nothinp but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and sat
' isfactory results from the useof Peruna,
w rite at once to Ur. Hart man. pivinp a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to pive you his valuable ad
