the following letter to Dr. Hartman re-

Pe-ru-na. This has been my experi-
ence. A friend in need is a friend in-
deed, and every bottle of Pe-ru-na I
ever bought proved a good friend to
me.”—Susan Wymar.
Mrs. Margaretha Dauben, 1214 North
Superior St., Racine City, Wis., writes:
"I feel so well and good and happy
now that pen cannot describe it. Peru-
na is everything to me. I feel healthy
and well, but if I should be sick I will
know what to take. I have taken sev-
eral bottles of Pe-ru-na for female
complaint. I am in the change of life
and it does me good.”

HIS OLD YELLOW ALMANAC.
I left the farm when mother died, and
changed my place of dwellin’
To daughter Susie’s stylish house, right
in the city street,
And there was them, before I came, that
sort of scared me tellin’
How I would find the town-folks’ way3
so difficult to meet.
They said I’d have no comfort in the
rustlin’, fixed-up throng,
And I’d have to wear stiff collars every
week-day right along.
I find I take to city ways just like a duck
to water.
I like the racket and the noise, and
never tire of shows;
And there’s no end of comfort in the man-
sion of my daughter,
And everything is right at hand, and
fly flows;
is , all ah;
for my call,
But I miss the yellow almanac from off
my kitchen wall.
mone^freely flows
And hired^Wfcp is all Just listenin’
The house is full of calendars from attio
to the cellar;
They’re painted in all colors, and are
fancy-like to see.
But just in this particular I’m not a mod-
ern feller,
And the yellow-covered almanac is good
-----snengh-4or-rri&;—— _ —
I’m used to it, I’ve seen it round from
boyhood to old age.
And I rather like the jokin’ at the bottom
of ■ each page.
I like the way the “8” stood out to show
the -week's beginnin’
(In these new-fangled calendars the
days seemed sort of mixed),
And the man upon the cover, though he
was n’t exactly winnin’
With lungs and liver all exposed, still
showing how we are fixed;
And the letters, credentials that was writ
to My. Ayer,
I’ve often, on a rainy day, found readin’
very fair.
t tried to find one recently; there wa’n’t
one in the city.
They toted out great calendars in every
sort of style;
I looked at ’em in cold disdain, and an-
swered ’em in pity:
“I’d rather have my almanac than all
that qostly pile.”
And, though I take to city life, I’m lone-
some, after all,
For that old yellow almanac upon my
kitchen wall.
—Ella W'heeler Wilcox, in the Century.
An Excellent Report from Wisconsin
and Minnesota Delegates.
The opinion* of five delegates from
Minnesota and Wisconsin, published
by the Edmonton Bulletin over their
names is very complimentary to
Northern Alberta. The report says:
, We must say with all sincerity that
driving all over the country for six
days, we have not found one settler
who was not more than pleased with
the country and its productions, and
will not return to the land he left. We
have seen people here from all parts
of the states and all doing well. We
met a Dakota farmer by the name of
McLean, who has informed us that he
has raised more grain here in three
jears than he did in thirteen where he
came from, on half as much ground.
We have seen a number of others, both
men and women, and all speak in the
same strain about Alberta. They all
look well and contented; even the chil-
dren are happy, in our drive over the
country, in passing the countless
school houses we could only see hap-
piness in the faces of the little ones.
We noticed them all well dressed equal
if not better than the same class of
children in the state of Minnesota.
The wheat that is raised here is just
beautiful, the kernel full and plump
and may well be termed golden grain,
yielding 30 to 55 bushels to the acre.
This statement is not from one farmer
but from hundreds who tell the same
tale. Oats yield from 70 to 100 bushels
to the acre, barley from 40 to 60 bush-
els and potatoes from 300 to 400 bush-
els to the acre. We have taken par-
ticular notice of the climate in regard
to the difference between this coun-
try and our own. When we left Ada,
Minnesota, we were In the midst of a
real Dakota blizzard. When we ar-
rived at Edmonton we found the peo-
ple on the streets still wearing sum-
mer clothing, no mittens on their
hands and far less use for them. The
country is simply more than we ever
dreamed of. The printed matter sent
out by the government does not half
tell of the grand country in Alberta,
open for millions of people to make
beautiful homes for themselves. Too
much can not be said in praise. It
is all and more thin the greatest
eulogist ever thought of giving to the
public. We saw cattle and horses in
herds grazing on the prairie like in
summer time all sleek and fat. We
were informed by several farmers that
most of th'e stock run out all winter.
We also found the market extra good
here f0r beef and pork. Hogs fetch
W2 cents live weight. A three-year-
old steer will bring from $40 to $45
right from the prairie. Coal and wood
are here in abundance. Coal is sold
in the town of Edmonton for $2 per
ton and farmers can secure coal at
the mines themselves for 75 cents per
load. Before closing we say to you one
and all, come to Alberta, where there
are homes for millions and a promise
for something to lay by for an old
age. We are well satisfied with this
country and as evidence have each
bought a half section of C. P. R. land
in township 35, range 21 west of the
4th initial meridian, and will /return
next spring to reside. Hoping this
may be of some benefit to the over-
burdened farmers of the United
States.”
Sent JbyvFloyd Uean, son of E. S.
Dean of Deauville, Mich., who is now
in Alberta, and has taken up 160 acres
there.
Twelve years ago one sailor out of
every 106, on an average, lost his life
by accident. Now the proportion has
been reduced to one in 256.
No animal will face danger more
readily, at man’s bidding, than the ele-
phant. As an instance, take the fol-
lowing incident, which recently oc-
curred in India. A small female
elephant was charged by a buffalo in
high grass, and her rider, in the hurry
of the moment, and perhaps owing
to the sudden stopping of the elephant,
fired an explosive shell from his rifle,
not into the buffalo, but into the ele-
phant’s shoulder. The wound was so
severe that it had not healed a year
later. Yet the elephant stood firm, al-
though it was gored by the buffalo,
which was then killed by another gun.
"What is even more strange is that the
elephant was not nervous of gun re-
ports afterwards.

In Holland it is still the fashion for
ladies to wash the dainty china and
silver after tea or breakfast in the
presence of the family guests. ,The
same fashion lias recently been revived
as a fad among American ladies, and
it is not only appreciated as givirig an
air of domesticity to the meal, but also
for the practical reason that a lady’s
gentle handling is needed if pretty
glass and china are to he preserved for
any length of time. Had our grand-
mothers entrusted the washing of their
tea services to the care of their ser-
vants, heirlooms of beautiful old china
would be rarer among us than they are
now.

Why are red headed people less sub-
ject to baldness than those with fair
or brown hair? An English physician
has answered this couundrum: The
hair of the red headed is relatively
thick, one red hair being as thick as
five blonde or three brown hairs. With
3000 red hairs the scalp is well
thatched; with the same number of
blonde hairs one is almost bald. It
takes 100,000 blonde and 105,000 brown
hairs to cover adequately an ordinary
head.
According to the laws of good so-
ciety in China, young widows should
not remarry. Widowhood is, there-
fore held in the highest esteem and
the older the widow grows the mors
agreeable becomes ;her position,
■Should she reach 50 years she may,
by applying to the emperor, get a
sum of money with which to buy a
tablet, on which her virtues are
named. The tablet is placed over the
door at the principal entrance of her
house.
The reason a blow on the ear may
do irreparable injury is that the air,
being driven suddenly and violently
against the drum of the ear, plight
rupture the membrane and cause in-
curable deafness. The ears should
never be pulled or meddled with in
any way except to wash them in the
gentlest manner, the orifice being
cleansed with a fold of the washcloth
rolled into a- little cone. ,

“It is perfectly ridiculous to talk
about a corner in eggs,” said Mr.
Northside. “I paid forty cents a dozen
for them, all the same,” replied Mrs.
Northside, who was in no joking mood.
“But, my dear, if you will examine an
egg you will find its shape is an oval,
which precludes the possibility of a
corner.” — Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele-

Mr. Editor:—For the good of suffer-
ing humanity, and particularly those
buffering from that most dreadful dis-
ease, rheumatism, we desire to inform
your readers that the only specific in
the world today for this disease is our
[‘Five Drops” remed3r. “Five Drops”
is the name, and “Five Drops” is the
dose. It is not only acknowledged a
specific by the many thousands who
have been cured by its use, but it is
now acknowledged to be such by the
medical profession, mapy of whom use
this remedy in their daily pnadtiGe, and
they state to us that it is the only
thing with which they can cure the
rheumatism. This remedy not only
positively cures this disease, but it
never has failed and it never qan fail

gia, Catarrh, Creeping Numbness,
Nervousness, Asthma, Heart Weak-
ness, Toothache, Earache, La Grippe,
and diseases of th,e liver and kidneys.

but was perfected only after vast re-
search in scientific fields, and at great
expense. It never can be fully appre-
ciated until it is used. Many of its
cures border on the miraculous. Words
are almost inadequate to express the
great benefit which suffering human-
ity is daily deriving from the use of
this most wonderful remedy. Its
merits and medicinal properties are as
far above the other remedies offered
fhx sale as the mountain is above the
valley. It is worth its weight in gold
