CATARRH TKiRTY YEARS.
The Remarkable Experience of a
Prominent Statesman-Congress
man Meckison Gives Pe-ru-na
a high Endorsement.
Congressman Meekison of Ohio.
lion. David Meekison is well known
not only in his own State, hut through
out America. He was elected to the
Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large ma
jority, and is the acknowledged leader
of his party in his section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
eompicte success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with its insidious ap
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty years
he waged unsuccessful warfare against
this personal enemy. At last Peruna
eaine to the rescue. He writes:
“ I have used several bottles of Pe
runa and I feel greatly benefited there
by from my catarrh of the head. I
feel encouraged to believe that If I use
it a short time longer I will be fully able
to eradicate the disease of thirty years’
standing. David Meekison, Member
of Congress.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

THE TEST OF TIME.
Mrs. Clara J. Sherbourne, Profes
sional Nurse of 257 Cumberland St.,
Portland, Maine, says: —
“I heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the
kidneys would try Doan’s Kidney
Pills. They would, like me, be more
than surprised. My back annoyed
me for years. Physicians who diag
nosed my case said it arose from
my kidneys. When the grip was epi
demic, I was worn out with constant
nursing, and when I contracted it
myself it left me in & very serious
condition. I could not straighten
nor do the most trivial act without
being in torture. The kidneys were
too active or the secretions were too
copious, and I knew what was wrong,
but how to right it was a mystery.
It seems odd for a professional
r.urse, who has had a great deal of
experience w’ith medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan’s Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go
to H. H. Hay & Son’s drug store for
a box. But I did, however; and had
anybody told me before that it was
possible to get relief as quickly as
I did I would have been loth to be
lieve it. Y'ou can send anyone who
wishes more minute particulars
about my case to me, and I will be
only too glad to tell them personal
ly. As long as I live I will be a firm
advocate of Doan’s Kidney Pills.”
Cure Confirmed 5 Years Later.
“Lapse of time has strengthened
my good opinion of Doan’s Kidney
Pills, first expressed in the spring
of 1896. I said then that had any
body told me that it was possible
to get relief as quickly as I did I
would have been loth to believe it.
Years have passed and my continued
freedom from kidney complaint has
sirengthened my opinion of Doan’s
Kidney Tills and given me a much
higher appreciation of their merits.”

Germ-an Ceramic Industry.
Ascovrlifig to a German journal, the
German manufacturers of earthen
ware are contemplating an amalga
mation, at least as far as the sale of
their wares is concerned. Although
the output and sales of the manufac
tures of earthenware have increased,
the net result lias been rather unsat
isfactory during the past few years,
owing to the fact that the selling
prices have constantly receded, and
in many cases have been less than the
cost of production. Of course, there
is a difference between those factories
producing- higher grade ware and
those manufacturing staple articles
for the masses. The former are al
ways aide to obtain relatively better
prices- for their goods, while the busi
ness of the latter remains very unsat
isfactory. Several years ago, about
,'!0 earthenware manufacturers- com
bined to regulate the selling price of
their products, but this combination
did not prove effective. On the con
trary, tile result was the founding of
a number of independent companies
which underbid the combination. In
order to meet the prices of these out
siders, the trust factories sorted their
wares more carefully, and, evading
the spirit of the agreement, though
not the letter, sold a large part of
their product as “refuse ware” at
greatly reduced prices, lioping there
by to crush the competition from
without. This, however, resulted in a
general cutting of prices, and to-day
the competition between the compa
nies belonging to the trust is just as
keen as between the trust and the in
dependent companies. The result is
that a number of large companies
have gone into the.hands of a receiver,
other.-, are liquidating voluntarily,
and still others a re cdhtinuing to oper
ate their works at a loss.
On this account, it is intended to
form a new combination, in order that
the capital invested in the various
works may be made t-o pay at least a
reasonable interest, it is not intend
ed to force up the selling prices un
reasonably, Init merely to prevent an
evasion of the spirit of the combina
tion.—WaIter Seb u 111ami.

Sew Coal Fields in Ilel&Ium.
A year or more ago a new soft coal
basin was discovered in tlft- province
of Luxemburg', Belgium, north of the
city of Liege. Since then extensive
soundings: have been made over a eou
sidej-aole territory. The deposit un
derlies many square miles of tine
northern part of Belgium and the
southern part of Holland. One of the
veins, at a depth of 1,000 to 1,500 feet
below the surface, is from 15 to 17 feet
thick, and of a very fine quality of
coal. It is estimated that this new
coal field contains more than 500,000,-.
000 tons of a good grade of coal, and
extensive preparations are beingmade
to open up the mines. The govern
ment proposes to enlarge the canals
in that part of Belgium, dig new ones,
and open new lines of railroads. The
working of these mines will be more
difficult and expensive than of the
other mines of Belgium, because
of their depth and the presence
of more water; but it is thought that
t his will be more than coun t erbalanced
by the tnickness of the veins.—A. A.

Coni Resource* of Australia.
Accoruing to reports maue ay tne
government geologists of V'ietoria and
Queensland, there are no less than 62,
000 miles' of coal-bearing country in
the eastern states' of Australia. The,
probable quantity of coal available
(after deducting one-third for loss),,
in seam- ranging from two to 27 feet;
in thickness, is not less than 240,448,-/
053,000 tons. In Victoria, there arel
beds of tertiary coal over 200 feet;
thick, and extensive seams of oil-bear
ing shale exist in New South Wales)
and Tasmania. The coal in New Soutli
Wales is estimated at 115,346.8SO,000
tons; in Quueensilund, at 83,310,000,000
tons; in Victoria, at 32,388,213,440 tons;
in Tasmania, at S,303,520,000 tons; in
West Australia, tit 1,045.440,000 tons.
The royal commission on the coal re
sources of Great Britain computed
that the quantity available in the Brit
ish isles was 146,480,000,000 tons, which
amount, added to that of Austrial.
makes the enormous total of 386,928,
053,000 tons, it would appear from
these figures that the British empire
produces about one-third of the coal
mined in the world.—F. W. Coding.
The Klmbarovak-Sretenek Railway.
The important extension of the
Trans-Siberian railway from Khabar
ovsk to Sretensk has been completed
from the first-mentioned terminus to
Mikliailovo-Sennnovskaya, a distance
of 149.8 miles. The most difficult part
of the enterprise—the crossing of the
Khingan mountain range—will now be
commenced, and will give considera
ble trouble to the engineers. In order
to hasten the completion of the whole
line, which will cover n distance of
746.5 miles, the constructive work be
tween Sretensk and Pokrova, from
which place the track will run direct
to Blagovcstchensk. will be immedi
ately begun. The cost of the new
Khabarovsk-Sretensk railway is esti
mated at about $4,789,500, but that fig
ure, it i> claimed, will be largely ex
ceeded in consequence of the construc
tive difficulties in the Khingan range.
