A woman confined to the house for several sev-eral years with a chronic female derangement derange-ment had finally given up hope of being cured. She had tried physician after physician, and remedy after remedy, without any permanent per-manent improvement. Her treatment had cost her husband, who was a poor man, hundreds of dollars. They had been obliged to deny themselves many comforts of life in order to get money enough to pay the physicians. The woman had become weak, nervous and wretched, and scarcely able to keep out of her bed. Her children were growing grow-ing np neglected and ragged because of the want of a mother's care. Her husband was becoming discouraged and broken down with overwork. Picking up the paper one day she happened hap-pened to read an item which contained the news that Dr. Hartman would treat such cases free of charge by letter. She immediately imme-diately wrote the doctor describing her case, and giving him all her symptoms. She soon received a letter telling her exactly ex-actly what to do, and what medicines and appliances to get. She began the treatment treat-ment (the principle remedy being Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks she was well and strong again, able to do her own work. This offer of free home treatment to women wom-en is still open to all who may need the services serv-ices of this eminent physician. All letters applying for treatment will be promptly answered, and be held strictly confidential. Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas, of Yemassee Council of Red Men (Women's Branch), writes from 872 Eighth Ave., New York: "Three months ago I was troubled with backache and a troublesome heaviness about the stomach. Sleep brought me no rest for it was a restless sleep. The doctor said my nervous system was out of order but his prescriptions pre-scriptions didn't seem to relieve me. I was told that Peruna was good for t uilding up the nervous system. After using it for two months I know now that it is. I want to say that it made a new woman of me. The torturing tor-turing symptoms have all disappeared and I feel myself again. Peruna did me more good than all the other medicines I have taken." ANNIE HOBAN. Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles, Louisiana, Lou-isiana, writes: "I sincerely believe that Peruna is woman's wom-an's best friend, for it has certainly been that to me. I had had headaches, backaches and other aches every month lor a long time, but shortly after I began taking Peruna this was a thing of the past, and I have good reason to be gratefuL I take a bottle every spring and fall now, and that keeps my health perfect, and I certainly am more robust now than I have been before and am weighing more. I do not think anyone will be disappointed in the results obtained from the use of Peruna." Pe-runa." MISS MAMIE POWELL. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory satisfac-tory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement state-ment of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

A recent sea-serpent story coming from England tells how a marine monster mon-ster apparently tried to swallow the good ship Glengrant of Fraserburgh At the first onslaught it lifted the vessel ''at least six feet" as It dived underneath her but fortunately when it came on again the only sailor man who kept his head dashed below and got a gun. It is not known whether he hit it; at any rate, the monster had had enough and cleared off.

And now as he dwelt on waai was probably awaiting him at the end of his distressful drive John, who saw things little, remembered them less, and could not have described them at all. beheld In his mind's eye the garden gar-den of the Lodge, detailed as in a map; he went to and fro in it, feeding his terrors; he saw the hollies, the snowy borders, the paths where he had sought Alan, the high, conventual walls, the shut door what! was the door Bhut? Ay, truly, he had shut it shut in his money, his escape, his future life shut It with these hands, and nonu could now open it! He heard the snap of the epring-lock like something bursting in his brain, and sat as stunned. And then he woke again, terror jarring jar-ring through his vitals. This was no time to be idle; he must be up and doing, he must think. Once at the end of this ridiculous cruise; once at the- Lodtje o or, there should be nothing for it bvt to turn the cab and trundle back ag&'n. Why, then, go so far? why add another feature of suspicion to a case already so suggestive? Why not turn at once? It was easy to say, turn, but whither? He had nowhere now to go to; he could never he saw it in letters of blood he could never pay that cab; he was saddled with that cab, forever. Oh, that cab! hi3 soul yearned and burned, and his bowels sounded to be rid of it. He forgot all other cares. He must first quit himself of this ill-smelling vehicle and of the human beast that guided it first do that; do that, at least; do that at once. And just then the cab suddenly stopped, and there was his persecutor rapping on the front glass. John let it down, and" .beheld the port-wine countenance inflamed with intellectual triumph. "I ken wh ye Are!" cried the husky voice. "I m.ind ye now. Ye're a Nuch-olson. Nuch-olson. I drove ye to Hermiston to a Christmas party, and ye came back on the box, and I let ye drive." It is a fact. John knew the man; they had been even friends. His enemy, en-emy, he now remembered, was a fellow of great good nature endless good nature na-ture with a boy; why not with a man? Why not appeal to his better side? He grasped at the new hope. "Great Scott! and eo you did;" he cried, as if in a transport of delight, his voice sounding false in his own -ears. "Well, if that's so, I've something some-thing to say to you. I'll just get out I guess. WThere are. we, anyway?" The driver had fluttered his ticket in the eyes of the branch-toll keeper, and they were now brought to on the highest high-est and most solitary part of the byroad.' by-road.' On the left, a row of fieldside trees beshaded it; on the right it was bordered by naked fallows, undulating J x a.1 y-x . . - e down hill to the Queensferry road; in front, Corstorphine Hill raised its snow-bedabled, darkling woods against the sky. John looked all about him, drinking the clear air like wine; then his eyes returned to the cabman's face as he sat, not ungleefully, awaiting John's communication, with the air of one looking to be tipped. The features of that face were hard to read, drink had so swollen them, drink had so painted them, in tints that varied from brick red to mulberry. The small gray eyes blinked, the lips moved, with greed; greed was the ruling rul-ing passion; and though there was some good nature, some genuine kindliness, kind-liness, a true human touch, in the old toper, his greed was now so set afire by hope, that all other traits of character lay dormant. He sat there a monument monu-ment of gluttonous desire. John's heart slowly fell. He had opened his lips, but he stood there and uttered nought. He sounded the well of his courage, and it was dry. He groped in his treasury of words, and it was vacant. A devil of dumbness had him by the throat; th devil of terror babbled in his ears; and suddenly, without a word uttered, with no conscious con-scious purpose formed in his will, John whipped about, tumbled over the roadside road-side wall, and began running for his life across the fallows. He had not gone far, he was not past the midst of the first field, when his whole brain thundered within him, "Fool! You have your watch!" The shock stopped him, and he faced once more toward the cab. The driver was leaning over the wall, brandishing his whip, his. face empurpled, roaring like a bull. And John saw (or thought) that he had lost the chance. No watch would pacify the man's resentment now; he would try for vengeance also. John would be had under the eye of the police; his. tale would be unfolded, his secret plumbed, his destiny would close on him at last, and forever. He uttered a deep sigh; and just as the cabman, taking heart of grace, was beginning at last to scale the wall, his defaulting customer fell again to run ning, and disappeared into the further fields. CHAPTER X. hekb he ran at first, John never very clearly knew; nor yet how long a time elapsed ere he found himself in the by-road near the lodge of Ravel-s Ravel-s t o n , propped against the wall, his lungs heaving like bellows, his legs leaden-heavy, his mind possessed by one sole desire to lie down and be unseen. He remembered the thick coverts round the quarry-hole pond, an untrodden corner of the world where he might surely find concealment till the night should fall. Thither he passed down the lane; and when he came there, bebld! he had forgotten the frost, anrf the pond was alive with young people skating, and the pond-eide pond-eide coverts were thick with lookers-on. lookers-on. Eo looked on awhile himself. There was one tall, graceful maiden, skating hand in hand with a youth, oh j whom she bestowed her bright eyes perhaps tbo patently; and it was strange that with anger John beheld her. He could have .broken forth in j curses; ne could have stood there, like a mortified tramp, and shaken hia fist and vented his gall upon her by the hour or so he thought; and the next moment his heart bled for the girL "Poor creature, it's little she knows!" he sighed.

But wa3 it possible, when Flora used to smile at him on the Braid ponds, she cou!d have looked so fulsome to a sick-hearted bystander? 3 ASSOCIATION. he thought of one quarry, in hia frd en: wits, suggested acotner; and he pld Jded off toward Crale Lelth.

Here, no doubt, was a way to end it. Bttti it somehow did not take his fancy. Ajpi suddenly he was aware that he hungry; ay, even through the tor-Vt tor-Vt iof the cold, even through the f? Jta of, despair, a gross, desperate Jiing after food, no matter what, no matter how, began to awake and spur him. Suppose he pawned his watch? But no, on Christmas day this was Christmas day the pawnshop pawn-shop would be closed. Suppose he went to the public house close by at Blackhall,' and offered the watch, which was worth ten pounds, in payment for a meal of bread and cheese? The incongruity in-congruity was remarkable; the good folks would either put him to the door, or only let h.im in to send for the police. po-lice. He turned his pockets out one after another; some San Francisco tram-car checks, one cigar, no lights, the "pass-key to his father's house, a pocket-handkerchief, with just a touch of scent; no, money could be raised on none of these. There was nothing for it but to starve; and after all, what mattered it? That also was a door of exit. He crept close among the bushes, the wind playing round him like a lash; his clothes seemed thin as paper, his joints burned, his skin curdled on his bones. He had a vision of a high-lying cattle-drive in California, and the bed of a dried stream with one muddy pool, by which the vaqueros had encamped: en-camped: splendid sun over all, the big bonfire blazing, the strips of cow browning and smoking on a skewer of wood; how warm It was, how savory the steam of scorching meat! And then again he remembered his manifold calamities, and' burrowed and wal- lowed in the sense of his disgrace and ' A - shame. And next he was entering Frank's restaurant in Montgomery street, San Francisco; he had ordered a pan-stew and venison chops, of which he was immoderately fond, and aa he sat waiting, Munroe, the good attendant, attend-ant, brought him a whisky punch; he saw the strawberries float on the delectable delec-table cup, he heard the ice chink about the straws. And then he awoke again to his detested fate, and found himself sitting, humped together, in a windy combe of quarry refuse darkness thick about him, thin flakes of snow flying here and there like rags of paper, pa-per, and the strong shuddering of his body clashing his teeth like a hiccough. We have seen John in nothing but the stormiest conditions; we have seen him reckless, desperate, tried beyond his moderate powers; of his daily self, cheerful, regular, not unthrifty, we have seen nothing; and it may thus be a surprise to the reader, to learn that he was studiously careful of his health. This favorite preoccupation now awoke. If he were to sit 1 there and die of cold, there would be mighty little lit-tle gained; better the police cell and the chances of a jury trial, than the miserable certainty of death at a dike-side dike-side before the next winter's dawn, or death a little later in the gas-lighted wards of an infirmary. He rose on aching legs, and stumbled here and there among the rubbish heaps, still circumvented by the yawning yawn-ing crater of the quarry; or perhaps he only thought so, for the darkness was already dense, the snow was growing thicker, and he 'moved like a blind man and with a blind man's terror. At last he climbed a fence, thinking to drop into the road, and found himself staggering among the iron furrows of a plowland, endless, it seemed, as a whole county. And next he was in the wood, beating among young trees; and then he was aware of a house with many lighted windows, Christmas carriages car-riages waiting at the door, and Christmas Christ-mas drivers (for Christmas has a double dou-ble edge) becoming swiftly hooded with snow. From this glimpse of human cherfulness. he fled like Cain: wan dered in the night, unpiloted, careless of whither he went; fell, and lay, and ' ! tfotfkn men acrain and wandarod fity- ther; and at last, like a transformation cene, behold him in the lighted jaws o!iV& city, staring at a lamp which had already donned the tilted night-cap of the snow.

He remembered something some-thing like it in the past,, a street-lamp crowned and tpVpj upon the windward sidetjwlth snow, the winu uttering its mournful hoot, himself looking on, even as h&w; but the cold had struck too sharply on his wits, and memory failed him a s to the date and sequel of the reminiscence.

The most Independent and aristocratic aristocrat-ic bank in the world is the Norges, or National bank of Norway. Socially, the bank is of considerable importance. import-ance. The directors meet twice a week, and these friendly gatherings are said to be most enjoyable affairs. Loans and discounts form the chief subjects sub-jects of conversation. No loan or discount dis-count can be made without the approval ap-proval of three of the directors. The directors are to hold a meeting one day, and you want to borrow 1,000 on Monday. You apply to the Norges bank; and are told that the matter will be taken under consideration at the directors' direc-tors' meeting on Thursday. It does not matter in the least that you wan.4 the money on Monday and not oa Thursday; you simply have to wait. The origin of this institution is as peculiar pe-culiar as its management is unusual. Soon after the nominal union of Norway Nor-way and Sweden, in 1814, the latter country began to feel the need of greater great-er money facilities to meet the demands of the rapidly-increasing commerce. The problem of securing the necessary capital Jor a great national institution institu-tion was a very simple one for the Norwegian Nor-wegian government. It raised stockholders stock-holders for the bank just as It had raised soldiers for the army. Every well- to-do citizen was compelled to take so much stock. He was always at liberty to take more if he chose, but always in amouuts divisible by five. The national bank is also a national nation-al pawning shop. It is authorized by the law to lend money on any non-perishable non-perishable goods, provided they can be deposited in the bank and kept under lock and . key. For this service it charges rather less than the usual pawnbroker's interest, which may, perhaps, per-haps, account for the rarity of private pawnshops In Norway. New York Journal. COLORADO HOTEL ETIQUETTE. Gentlemen Gassta Are Prohibited from Doing- Lots of Things. A gentleman of Carrolton, who has lately returned from the west, has brought with him a copy of some of the rules he found posted in a hotel dining room. The hotel was the "Rustlers' Rest," at Little Cayuse Creek, Col. The "Rules for the Guidance of Guests" follow: fol-low: . "All gents with shooting irons or other weapons must check them before entering the dining room. Waiters are too scarce to be killed. "Gents are requested not to attract waiters' attention by throwing things at them. This is no deaf mute asylum. "Seven kinds of pie are given with every dinner. "Tablecloths are changed every Sunday. Sun-day. "Our food is all of the best quality. Our milk is pure, eggs new laid and the butter speaks for Itself. "Guests tipping waiters must pay funeral benefits in case one should die from heart disease. "No more than six cLo-, be given each at a sitting. Any guest found trying try-ing to work off shells on a neighbor will be fired from the table. "Biscuits found riveted together can be opened with a chisel supplied by a waiter. The use of dynamite is strictly forbidden. "Disputes over articles of food must be settled outside. "Don't lasso the waiters, because the guest who can't throw the rope will be at a disadvantage. "Gents can take off their coats if they want, but they must keep on their vests." Baltimore Sun. To Wash Blankets and Flannels. Take a hot, breezy day for it.

The vertebrae of a snake are fitted together by a kind of ball and socket articulation, which, however, is capable of only lateral or side-to-side motions. A snake moves by propelling himself on the points of his scales, which, to him, answers the purposes of ribs. A Hnake does not climb a tree or a bush by coiling around ' it, as most people who have not investigated me matter hoiievfi. but by balancing himself very evenly and holding on with the points and edges of his scales. A snake on a nane of glass or other polished surface where the scales cannot take hold is almost perfectly helpless. Information Wanted. "Gracious!" said the summer boarder. board-er.

Devotee of the Drug Choose Various Way of Obtaining It Effects. Consumers of opium are not all of the same kind. There are slave of the pipe, slaves of the syringe and slaves of the powder that is swallowed to give surcease of pain or of mental worry. There are those who take the drug in the form of a medicinal preparation, prep-aration, such as laudanum, paregoric, and the extract of laudanum; those who smoke it and inhale the fumes into the lungs and those who take hypodermic injections of morphia. The second class the smokers complies the largest number of victims. Dr. Jeliffe of the New York city hos pital estimates that fully 80,000 people in that city are addicted to the opium habit In some form. The annual sale of opium in Vermont is equivalent, according to the doctor, tq a grain for every adult in tho state, an amount obviously far greater than can be accounted ac-counted for by its consumption for medicinal purposes. . Some slaves of the drug take it regularly every day; others have periodical sprees similar to those of the alcohol drinker. Why "Daily Bread." A teacher in a private class In a West Philadelphia school was explaining explain-ing the petition in the Lord's Prayer: "We ask for our dally bread, she said, ."to teach us not to be greedy, but only prudent in providing for our wants, and that we are to have great confidence in .he providence of God."

St. John, Kans., Oct. 26. Mr. and Mrs.. William McBride and Jesse L. Limes, M. D., have gone before Mr. George E. Moore, Notary Public, and have sworn and subscribed to written tatements confirming the story of the awful illness and subsequent cure of ihe little son of Mr. and Mrs. Mc Bride. Dr. Limes Is particularly emphatic in his statement, and there does not now seem to be any room for doubt as to the fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills, and nothing else, saved the little boy. He was so bad that he had Epileptic spells which seized him with increas ing frequency. He was semi-paralyzed In the right side, and his mind was Dadly affected. In their sworn statement, Mr. and Mrs. McBride say: "The very day we began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills our boy had twenty-seven of these Epileptic spells or fits. In less than a week he ceased having them entirely." The case has caused a great sensa tion in the neighborhood. The sworn statements have confirmed the whole story. NOVEL TRICK OF SWINDLER.

Insects from 8outh America Have Be come a Nuisance in Jamaica. An Interesting experiment In natur alization Is now under trial In the country districts of Jamaica, where the plant-ticks first introduced about 30 years ago with cattle from South America have multiplied till they have become an almost intolerable pest.

Much of That Material Now Used In London Building. The "stone age" Is fast reviving in London, though in a more welcome form than that of old. There is a growing tendency to spend money more freely on business premises, and consequently architects, generally speaking, are enjoying more scope in designing structures with imposing elevations. To obtain the most handsome hand-some effect white stone has become the favorite and wherever monetary considerations will permit this is almost al-most universally-stipulated for in specifications. "If this liberality continues," said a prominent contractor, "London will within a eomnarativelv short neriod become the finest city In the world, architecturally speaking.
