MISS JULIA MARLOWE.
“I am glad to write my endorse-
merit of the great remedy, Peruna,
do so most heartily.”—Julia Marlowe.
Any remedy that - benefits digestion
strengthens the nerves.
The nerve centers require nutrition.
If the digestion is impaired, the nerve
eenters become anemic, and nervous
debility is the result.
A neighbor had been lingering be-
tween life and death, and the attend-
ing physician had just given his vague
and guarded opinion, when old Lim
Jucklin looked up from the box where
he was sitting in front of the grocery
store and remarked: “Every man
that gets money without stealin’ it
earns it, I reckon; but I don’t know
of anybody that comes nearer earnin’
it twice over than the country doc-
tor. He has to put forth all the skill
he has and then must lie to keep hope
alive. And hope is the best medicine
ever discovered, for it not only aids
the sick, but helps the well to bear
their burdens.

Haines practiced in this neighborhood,

“For a long time Dock he set there

finally he says to Smith that he will
give him half the money. And Smith

Yes, sir,” the old man added after
a few moments of meditation, “a doc-
tor must know human nature as well
as medicine, and this knowledge mixed
with medicine is what makes one doc-
tor better than another. I’ve known
’em to git out of their beds the cold-
est nights that ever blowed and ride
ten miles to doctor a man they knowed
wan’t a goin’ to pay a cent. It takes
great strength always to handle weak-
ness; it takes a god-like patience to
deal with the fretful and not ' be
w’arped over to the side of continual
peevishness, and whenever I hear a
doctor a-laughin’ I always rejoice with
him. Science in medicine travels
slow, it is true, for each human body
is an individual machine, and every
mornin’ has a new way to go wrong.

A Matter of Time.
It was the day of the ball game, and
Willie, the office-boy, approached the
head of the firm, and stammered: “If
y-you p-p-pl-please, sir—”
“Come, hurry up!” said his employ-
er. “If you have anything to say, say
it. Don’t take half a day.”
“But that’s just what I was going
to ask you if I could take,” said Wil-
lie.—Harper’s Weekly.

A cranky bachelor says that heaven

Kangaroo as a Food.
Twenty or 30 years ago the back
country squatters, in order to destroy
kangaroos, used to dig huge pits at
the corners of their paddocks, running
yards of calico along their wire fences
and then drive the kangaroos into the
pits, clubbing and shooting them. In
those days kangaroo skins were of no
value; now that they are almost ex-
tinct, there is a great demand for
them. The flesh of a young kangaroo
is by no means to be despised, and
kangaroo tail soup is a delicacy now
hardly to be obtained.

“The saddest time for the sick man

Errors in Weather Forecasts.
People have learned by experience
to make allowance for error in the pre-
dictions of the weather bureau, but
Prof. Schuster thinks that the allow-
ances should be officially stated. As-
tronomers, it appears, are in the
habit of giving the value of the “prob-
able error” when publishing their ob-
servations. But although meteorology
lends itself more readily than any
other science to the evolution of devi-
ations from the mean result, the
weather forecasters have not adopted
the custom of stating the probable
error. Prof. Schuster looks forward
to the time when weather forecasts
will be accompanied by a statement
of the odds that the prediction will be
fulfilled. Then, perhaps, we shall read
in the weather column not simply
“rain to-morrow,’ but “three to one;”
or “nine to one for rain to-morrow.’1
