Cold Affected Head and Throat
Attack was Severe.
Chas. W. Bowman, 1st I.ieut. and
Adjt. 4th M. S. M. Cav. Vols., writes
from Lanham, Md., as follows:
“Though somewhat averse to pat
ent medicines, and still more averse
to becoming a professional affidavit
man, it seems only a plain duty in
the present instance to add my ex
perience to the columns already writ
ten concerning the curative powers
of Peruna.
“I have been particularly benefited
Jby its use for colds in tlte head and
. throat. I have been able to fully cure
myself of a most severe attack in
forty-eight hours by Its use according
to directions. I use it as a preventive
whenever threatened with an attack.
“Members of my family also use
it for like ailments. We are recom
mending it to our friends.’*

MEN STILL LIVE IN CAVES.
Troglodytic Villages Are Found In
Northern Africa.
Grottoes ana caverns are used more
or less as shelters by primitive peo
ples and thus inhabited caves are of
course most frequent in Africa. A con
siderable number of natives make
their homes in caves along the south
ern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar
and in some of those caves are found
the polished stones and arrow heads
of the stone age. Troglodyte villages
are frequent in the Tebessa territory
of Algeria, oue of which, at Djeurf,
250 feet above the gorge of the Wadi
Hallail, is reached by steps cut in the
rock.
The inhabitants of the Tunisian
Island of Galite are cave dwellers,
their habitations being grottoes which
they have dug out of the limestone, or
ancient burial caverns that they have
enlarged. The subterranean villages of
Mairr.ata and of Medennie, hewn out
of the rock, are in southern Tunisia.
* A Christian monastery built under
ground in the twelfth century still ex
< ists at Goba, Abyssinia. The enor
J moils cavern discovered several years
* ago within two hours' walk of the port
of Tanga, in German East .Africa, con
tains rooms the roofs of which are
from 120 to 230 feet above the floor.
Only a few of these vast chambers
have yet been explored, for the entire
-cavern seems to be inhabited by mil
lions of bats. One of these killed
•with a stick measured nearly five feet
across its extended wings.
Kept a Diary Seven Years.
Henry Arthur Jones, the noted Eng
lish playwright, was giving the stu
dents of Yale an address on the
• drama.
“Your American vernacular is pic
turesque," he said, "and it should help
your playwrights to build strong, racy
plays. But neither varnacular nor any
thing else Is of moment if persever
ance is lacking.
“No playwright can succeed who is
like a man I know.
"I said to this man, one New Year’s
-day:
“ ‘Do you keep a diary, Philip?’
‘‘‘Yes,’ he answered, 'I’ve kept one
for the first two weeks in January for
the last seven years.’ ”
Convict’s Peculiar Claim.
A life convict in the Andamans had
served some long period when an or
der recently came for his release. All
’the time he had been in the band, and
had evidently so far forgotten that he
was a prisoner that on his release he
put in a claim for a pension on ac
count of his long and faithful service
as a government servant.—Madras
Mail.
Its Dangerous.
To neglect a cold the results are too
often very serious. Bronchitis, Pleu
risy, Pneumonia and Consumption are
frequently the consequences. Upon
the appearance of a cold, sore throat
■or chest, use Simmons’ Cough Syrup.
It soothes the irritation, loosens the
^phlegm and promptly cures you.
Truth is the beginning of every
i.-good thing, both in heaven and on
earth; and he who would be blessed
,:and happy should be from the first
tm partaker of the truth.—Plato.
DIFFER IN HABITS
CARE OF DESKS NOT AN INDICA
TICN OF ABILITY.
While Some Men Must Have Things
Just So, Others Do Much Work
Amid the Utmost Apparent
Confusion.
‘‘Curious about men’s desk habits,”
said a mail whose business takes him
about more or less into various sorts
of offices. "I was in an office yester
day where I had occasion to write
something.”
‘‘‘Here, sit down at my desk,’ says
the man. ‘1 guess you can find a place
there,’
“And I did find a place there after
moving one or two things, but that
was all I found—a place just big
enough to write in, and that square in
the middle of the desk.
“This was a flat, top desk and, ex
cept for that small, bare spot in the
middle, it was just covered with pa
pers and things of every description,
and these not folded or stacked os set
up about in any orderly manner, but
all apparently in the utmost confusion.
“The desk looked as though its
owner, when he had got through with
a document or bill, just pushed it back
from the bare spot on the desk. And
so he had stuff piled up on his desk
overlapping and lying around any way
all around the top if his desk, and
actually sloping down from all around
to that bare spot like a little flat val
ley, where he wrote in the center at
the front.
“And this was a business man, too,
and, moreover, as I was told, a man
who has accumulated a comfortable
property in the pursuit of his business.
And I found him, in the dealings I
had with him, not only personally ami
able in all things, as indicated by his
cheery call to use his desk, but fair
and exact in his business ways.
“How he ever did business with his
desk littered up in that way, how he
ever found anything there that he
wanted, or how he ever remembered
anything I don't see; but as far as I
know he never forgot anything that
was important.
“It made me think of something a
minister asked me once. I was saying
to this minister, talking about preach
ing extemporaneously, that I should
think when a man got up in the pulpit
to preach without any notes that he’d
be apt to forget some of the things he
wanted to say, and the minister said
that sometimes you might forget
things in that way, but then he recall
ed what an experienced old clergyman
had said to him in reply to the same
suggestion from himself, which was to
the effect that the things the preacher
forgot to say were usually the things
not worth remembering.
“And maybe it was so about the for
gotten tilings in the pile of papers on
that desk.
“But he wasn't the only man I nave
met who kept his desk apparently in
the greatest disorder, but was never
theless successful; and then I have
known plenty of men who went as far
the other way and who would have a
fit unless they could keep everything
on their desks just so.
"The inkstand must be here and the
stamp box here, and the pen rack
here; all just so, and kept so; and
with no litter anywhere, with every
thing free and clear and in order.
And I have known men who couldn’t
write unless they had their paper
squared just light, and ail that; pre
cise men, who must have everything
just so before they could get to work;
all the very opposite of the man with
the littered desk, who has at least in
his favor the fact that he doesn’t
worry himself over ’trifles, but keeps
on serene through it all.
“And while I have known men who
must have everything just so neat
about their desks, fresh blotters and
clean inkstands and all that, I have
known other men who didn't care if
their desks were a foot thick with
dust, and who only asked that their
things should not be moved or shifted
about; just simply and only that their
desks be let alone.
“As a matter of fact there is in
these days less and less disorder in
business methods and more and more
system; this in an age of system.”
Historical.
Alexander the Great paused in his
weeping.
“I'm glad to hear of this man Funs
ton,” he remarked. “I thought I had
licked everything in my class.”
Then they explained to him gently
knowing that he was melancholy from
fear of going stale, that Funston had
not happened yet.
Calling for a fresh handkerchief,
Alexander resumed his weeping.—
Philadelphia Ledger.
The Reason.
Squiggs—I don't see why you refer
to Beatem as a tailor-made man. I'm
sure he's not extraordinarily well
dressed.
Squaggs—Xo, not that, but because
old Snips, the tailor, made him pay
for a suit of clothes, which was the
first thing he has ever been known to
pay for.
Rainy Day Money.
“Is your husband putting by any
thing for a rainy day?” asked the
prudent relative.
“I think so,” answered young Mrs.
Torkins. "I heard him mention sev
eral horses yesterday that he said
v I ways run best on a muddy track.”
UTTERLY WORN OUT.
Vitality Sapped by Years of Suffering
with Kidney Trouble.
Capt. J. W. Hogun, former postmas
ter cf Indianola, now living at Austin,
Tex., writes: ‘‘I
was afflicted for
years with pains
across the loins
and in the hips
and shoulders. I
had headache
also and neural
gia. My right
eye, from pain,
was of little use
to me for years.
The constant flow of urine kept my
system depleted, causing nervous
chills and night sweats. After trying
seven different climates and using all
kinds of medicine I had the good for
tune to hear of Doan's Kidney Pills.
This remedy has cured me. I am as
well to-day as I was twenty years ago,
and my eyesight is perfect.”

Austrian Nuns of Noble Blood Lead
Pleasant Lives.
The "first lady" in the Austro-Hun
garian court is now the abbess of the
Theresian Convent of the Noble La
dies in Prague, a position which is
always held by an archduchess. The
Archduchess Maria Annunciata, the
present abbess, who is a niece of the
emperor, has succeeded to the position
of first lady through the widowhood
of the Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife
of the late Archduke Otto. The noble
nur.s of Prague live a very different
life frem what is the usual conception
of convent life. They play a leading
part in the society of the city and are
not even compelled to live in the ab
bey, where each is provided with two
rooms and service. Handsome car
riages with liveried servants are also
provided for their use, and they have
a box in the opera. Each noble lady
Is paid $500 a year, while the abbess
has a salary of $10,000. When they
attend court balls they must wear
black evening dress with a ribbon of
light blue.
Always to Be Depended Upon.
When a person gets up in the morn
ing with a dull headache and a tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
ily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.
