FREE BED FOR SICK CATS.
Servant Girl in City of Brotherly Love
». Leaves Money to Care for
Ailing Felines.
Rutli Darling, a servant who
died in Philadelphia some years
ago, was so fond of animals, and
especially cats, that when she died
she left all her savings to endow a
free bed for such ill and unfortun
ate feline creatures as should lie
brought to the animal hospital in
the City of Brotherly Love, says
the Xew York Tribune. “I have a
little money saved, sir." she said
to her employer during her Iasi
illness, “and 1 should like to do
something with it for rats. Cats
have a cruel, hard life. I'd like to
found a bed in a hospital for them,
so that when the miserable crea
tures are sick they can be taken
rare of.*’
“Well. Ruth, the idea is a good
one,” said the woman's employer,
“but such a bed would cost
money.”
“I know it. sir, and I've got the
money,” she returned. “Look,
sir!” and the dying woman took
from under her pillow a bank
book.
The book showed to her credit a
sum more than sufficient for 1h<*
establishment of the bed. And
accordingly there is now in the
Maher animal hospital a com mo
dious iron cage with the inscrip
tion "The Ruth Darling Bed” on it
in gold letters.
Like a popular club this bed has
always a waiting list, a long line
of wretched and suffering cats
waiting to hi* treated without
charge. Last year 56 cats were
cared for.
QUITE AN UNUSUAL AFFAIR.
Woman Called Street Car Conductor's
Attention to Fact She Had Re
ceived Too Much Change.
Bhe was 30 and shabbily Had,
that pathetic sort of shahhincss
that strives so obviously to screen
itself behind the virtue that is
next to godliness and the redeem
ing “stitch in time," says the New
York Tribune. She handed the
conductor a quarter, and the pas
senger next her noticed idly that
its absence left the worn purse
quite empty. Two dimes and a
nickel were given her in change,
and she was about to slip them
into their place when, with a
start, she drew back her hand.
Then she gave a furtive glance
about the car and another in the
direction of the conductor. No one
seemed aware of her existence or
of the moral problem that con
fronted her. Into tin* purse went
the three coins, to be withdrawn,
however, two minutes later, and
held on a slightly tremulous palm
toward the mystitied conductor.
“I think you must have given
me too much change,” she said t mi
ldly. The conductor reflected,
then looked her over with a soft
ening eye.
“Thank you.” he said, simply.
But lie continued to look in her di
rection after he went back to his
post on the platform, with an ex
pression of ha ving seen a vision.
Fatal After 54 Years.
A remarkable case of a wound
received in battle proving fatal
after 54 years is reported front
Teinesvar. A man named Josef
Molnar, who fought with Kossuth
in the rebellion of 1S4S-0, received
a bullet wound in the right shoul
der at thebattleof Isaszegh. The i
bullet could not be extracted, but !
the wound healed quite satisfac j
torily, and the lead in his body !
never caused Molnar any incon- j
Ten ie nee until the past few
months, when, quite an old man,
iie began to suffer severe pain in
the region of the wound, and died
from mortification setting in.

YOUNG MEN AT A HUNDRED.
Scores of Centenarians Found Among
the Nomads in Northern Africa
—The Oriental Life.
Perhaps it is the nomadic, out
door life they lead; perhaps it is
merely due to heredity, but the
fact remains that the Arabs of
northern Africa are among the
most long-lived people in the
world. “I saw a lot of queer
things during my wandering
through Morocco, Algeria and
Tunis,” said a man who recently
returned to America from a long
tour in the north of Africa, ac
cording to the Chicago Chronicle.
“But the queerest thing of all was
the multitude of centenarians.
They were as common as blackber
ries here in August, and a man or
woman had to be at least 150 to
enjoy any sort of local reputation.
“It is quaint and refreshing to
step aside for a moment from the
bustle of modern life and make ac
quaintance with men whose fa
thers or grandfathers were Bar
bary corsairs. It is a treat to
drop into coffee houses, where
public story tellers rivet the at
teni ion of a crowded audience, and
where the jars of Ali Baba are
still in common use; to frequent
public squares, where snake
charmers, barbaric musicians and
other story-book delights are a
commonplace; to meet a kadi rid
ing to court on a white mule and to
mix with people who tell you
stories of dijinns as if they were
everyday occurrences.
“Allthisand more you canenjoy
in Morocco, Algiers and Tunis—
though the French are doing their
best to spoil the old world charm
of the last two countries. But of
all the strange things I saw there
the strangest were the old people.
There are so many of them, and
they are so strenuous. Every trav
eler in the “Barbary States,’ as
they used to be called, is impressed
by this remarkable abundance of
centenarians.
A gray-bearded old man of 70,
who is trying to sell curios to a
tourist for thrice their value, ex
claims: ‘By the beard of the
prophet, may my grandfather die
if what I tell you is not true.”
Looking at his gray beard, you
think he is quite safe in calling
down that curse upon himself,
but when you make inquiries you
find that he really has a grand
father living, aged about 110, and
that the old gentleman is still go
ing about doing business on
market days. Life is not wearing
in Moslem Africa. A man never
does anything in a hurry there.
Naturally, he does not even grow
old in a hurry. When he is 70he
is beginning to get over the first
hot flush of youth; lie is no longer
counted as one of the boys, but
not until lie is at least !•<» does he
expect people to pay honor and
reverence to him as a veteran,
and even then lie must take a back
seat and listen deferentially'
when the hale and hearty centen
arians approach.”
Silent Women.
Women in Korea differ remark
ably from their sex in other coun
tries in one particular—they are
absolutely silent! The length of
a woman's tongue is a frequent
reproach elsewhere, but it cannot
be brought against the Korean
wife, who never speaks more than
is strictly necessary. A bridedare
not utter a word or make even a
sign, however much her husband
may tease or taunt her, for to
break silence would mean total
loss of caste. Among the higher
classes it may be weeks or even
months before a husband hears
his wife’s voice for the first time,
while the wife does not speak or
even look at her father-in-law for
years'after her marriage.
Find Little Comfort.
“Dar’s two men dat don’ git
much comfort out o’ life,” said
Uncle Eben; “the one dat’s alius
lookin’ foil trouble an’ de one
dat's alius skeered fob fear he’s
gwine to find some.”—Washing

Gentlemen: “ I wish to congratulate you onthesuceessof youreffortsto

Peruna is a fine tonic for a worn out system and a specific in cases of

MARCH, APRIL, MAY
Weak Nerves, Poor Digestion,
Impure Blood, Depressed
Spirits.
The sun has just crossed the equator
on its yearly trip north. The real
equator is ‘shifted toward the north
nearly eighteen miles every day. With
the return of the sun comes the bodily
ills peculiar to spring. With one per
son the nerves are weak:another per.si >n.
digestion poor; with others the blood is
out of order; and still others have
depressed spirits and tired feeling.
AH these things are especially true of
those who have been suffering with
—-•
catarrh in any form or la grippe. A
course of Peruna is sure to correct all
ihcse conditions. It is an ideal spring
medicine. Peruna does not irritate—it
invigorates. It does not temporarily
stimulate—it strengthens. It equalizes
the circulation of the blood, tra nquilizes
the nervous system and regulates the
bodily functions. Peruna, unlike so
many spring medicines, is not simply a
physic or stimulant or nervine. It is a
natural tonic and invigorator.
Ifyoudo not receive promptand 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.
Address Dr. Hartman. President of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.
