*T never saw anyone who behaved
fio silly in public as Mr. Gusher,” re-
marked Mrs. Henpeck. "He always
calls his wife ‘Dear.’ It’s ridiculous.”
"It is so,” replied Honpeck, with un-
wonted temerity; "how can a man call
his wife ‘dear’ in view of the fact that
'talk is cheap.’ ’’—Philadelphia Press.
An InvU^njc Ink.
Among the Romans an invisible ink
was made with the milky Juices of
certain plants. Its manufacture was a
state secret, death being denounced to
any who should disclose it, and all im-
portant dispatches from the capital to
the provinces, or vice versu, were writ-
ten in this ink.
Concerning Marriage.
A little girl in Ireland was asked
what was the sacrament of matri-
mony. She said: “It’s a state of tor-
ment into which souls enter to prepare
them for another and a better world.”
“That,” said the curate, “is purgatory.
'Put her down to the- bottom of the
class.” “Leave her alone,” said the
parish priest. “For anything you or
I know to the contrary, she may be
perfectly right.”—Selected.

KNOW THE BUILDINGS
FIREMEN ATTACK FIRES TO THE
BEST ADVANTAGE.
An Official of the New York I>< partinent
Tells of the AdvautugeH of an Accu-
rate Knowledge of Itig Building*—
This Require* Study*
“The rules of the department,” said
a New York fire department official to
the New York Sun, “require all cap-
tains of engine and truck companies
to inspect regularly at intervals of
three months all buildings of a public
or semi-public character within their
respective districts. The buildings
thus inspected include hotels, theaters,
hospitals, asylums, stores and ware-
houses, public halls and so on; prac-
tically all buildings, in fact, except
private dwellings, and in this way the
commanding officers of companies be-
come acquainted with the interior of
every important building, within their
district boundaries. The captain of a
fire company knows where the stair-
ways are and the elevator shafts if
there are any; where the fire escapes
are. and the doors and windows, and
other openings, skylights and so on.
In short he knows the inside of the
building and in case of fire in it he
does not approach the building as a
stranger nor lose a minute hunting
around inside to know what to do or
where to go. He knows all that before
he gets into the building at all, and,
according to the floor the fire is on,
he goes straight to it without a mo-
ment’s doubt or hesitation or loss of
time. It might be, for instance, that,
the officer in charge at a fire on the
third floor of some building would
want to get at it from some more ad-
vantageous point. He would, from his
precise and accurate knowledge of the
buildings thereabouts, know Just how
to go about it in the best possible way.
Say this fire is in a building at 1
such-and-such a street. He sends men
into No. 3, telling them that ten feet
hack from the top of the third flight
of stairs they will find a recessed place
in the wall, where formerly there had
been a door through into No. 1 and
which would be the quickest and easi-
est spot to break through, the wall at
that point being thinner. The com-
pany commander knows the buildings
in this district thoroughly, and as a
matter of fact the battalion comman-
ders and other higher officers of the
force know the buildings within the
larger area of the district over which
they have supervision correspondingly
well. The rules of the department re-
quire that on appointment into the
service a fireman must serve three
years at least below Fifty-ninth
street, in the course of which time, in
whatever rank he may be. he must
get some knowledge, in a general way
at least, of the buildings in the most
densely built-up part of the city. When
a man is promoted he is more than
likely to be sent to some other com-
pany than the one in which he had
been serving. And as assistant fore-
man. or lieutenant, of a fire company,
he is required to know the buildings
within the district of the company to
which he is attached. A captain pro-
moted to be battalion chief may be as-
signed to another battalion district,
but it may be one in which he had
previously served in some capacity,
and comprising some company dis-
tricts of which he had gained exact-
knowledge while serving in it as an
officer of a company. Of course he
sets himself to learning all the other
company districts and if. indeed, he
did not know them already, he soon
comes to know his battalion district
thoroughly, and he keeps up his
knowledge of it by constant study.
With such training and experience,
supplemented by constant inspection
of new buildings, it becomes possible
lor one man to know the whole town
thoroughly; as. for example. Fire
Chief Croker knows it. It is said of
Chief Croker that he knows every
building downtown; and it would no
uoubt be literally true to say of him
thai he knows from personal observa-
tion. inside and out, every structure of
importance on Manhattan Island.”
Ilaurlnc Around a Mausoleum.
Cornwall has many curious customs,
hut that new one of twenty-one years'
date called the Knill celebration is,
perhaps, the most curious of all. The
late John Knill left £6 to be equally
divided between ten girts, under 10
years of age. natives of St. Ives, and
daughters of seamen, fishermen or
tinners, who shall dance and sing
round the mausoleum containing his
mortal remains on the anniversary of
his death. Other curious gifts, such
as £5 to the native witli most chil-
dren. are also distributed. The cere-
monies last week were very pictur-
esque. and the local niagnctes did their
best to let everybody have a good
time.

Freight-Can for Jails.
Law and order are preserved In
Chappaqua, N. Y., by one constable,
who has been in the habit of nailing
up prisoners In freight cars over
night. So many of these cars have
been trundled off before morning that
the constable has demanded a town
prison, and has been granted $50 for
a "lock-up of iron and wood.”
Value of a Man'a Life.
The Supreme Courts have decided that
the life of the average man is worth just
what he Is able to earn. A man's earn-
ings depend to a great extent upon his
physical health. The stomach Is the
measure of health and strength. Every
man may be bright and active If his di-
gestion Is normal. If it is not. Hostetter’a
Stomach Bitters will make it so. Try it
for dyspepsia. Indigestion, constipation,
biliousness, flatulency, liver or kidney
troubles.
Aluminum Tabes for Torpedoes.
Torpedo tubes made of aluminium
instead of steel have been placed on
board of two destroyers at Ports-
mouth. The use of these tubes at
present is experimental, but so consid-
erable is the saving in weight—an im-
portant matter In connection with
light craft like destroyers—that, If
successful, aluminium tubes will be
generally used In place of steel tubes.

The Matting-Reed Industry.
A new industry is promised for
North Carolina in the discovery of the
matting-reed in its river marshes. It
has long been said that matting could
be made only in China, because the
reed suitable for its manufacture was
found only in that country. Recently
reed has been found growing in the
greatest profusion in the waters of the
Trent and Neuse rivers above New-
bern, N. C., which experts state is
identical with that used in China for
making matting.

John Herzlger, son of Alderman Her-
zlger, of Neenah, Wla., and Vice Presi-
dent of the Neenah Young Man's Club,
writes In a recent letter to The Pe-
runa Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio,
the following:
••After suffering for two yean with
kidney trouble I received relief end n
cure from using your wonderful medi-
cine, Peruna.
••For months I wan unable to work
on account of a severe pain In my back,
and when I was able to do anything f
was In pain and distressed moat of tbe
time.
••Hearing so much of the good re-
sults people bed obtained through tbe
use of Peruna 1 determined to give It a
trial and It was a lucky day for me
when I did so. I am well now and It
only took a few bottles of Peruna. ”—
John Herzlger, 307 Commercial street,
Neenab, Wis.
Two years suffering with catarrh of
the kidneys, unable to work on account
of the severe pain; could find no relief
from medicine; gave Peruna a trial and
was promptly cured—such was the ex-
perience of John Herzlger of Wisconsin.
This experience has been repeated
many times. Not only In Wisconsin
but In every state In the Union. It was
indeed a lucky day for this young man
when his attention was called to Pe-
runa. What would have been the result
had he continued suffering on and fool-
ing away precious time with other ran*
edies, no man can tell. But it la al-
most certain that It would have ended
in incurable Bright's disease of the kid-
neys, which sooner or later would
have proved fatal.
Peruna is a sure cure for Incipient
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Taken
In the early stages of thla disease, it
cures permanently. Bright’s disease
always begins with catarrh of the kid-
neys. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.
Congressman Bankhead's Statement.
Congressman J. H. Bankhead of Ala-
bama, one of the most Influential mem-
bers of the House of Representatives,
in a letter written from Washington.
D. C., gives his Indorsement to the
great catarrh remedy, Peruna, In the
following words:
••Your Peruna Is one of tbe bem
medicines I ever tried, and no famltf
should be without your remnrkabk
remedy. As a tonic and a catarrh curs
/ know of nothing better."—J. ft
Bankhead.
Samuel R. Sprecher, Junior Beadle
Court Angelina No. S422, I. O. O.
205 High St., Los Angeles, Cal., writes:
“I came here a few years ago suffer-
ing with catarrh of the kidneys, In
search of health. I thought that tks
climate would cure me .but found thnl
I was mistaken, but what the climate
could not do Peruna could and did da
Seven weeks’ trial convinced me that 1
had the right medicine and I was then
a well man. I know of at least twenty
friends and members of ths lodge to
which I belong who have been cured
of catarrh, bladder and kidney trouble
through the use of Peruna and it hag
a host of friends In this city.”—Samuel
R. Sprecher.
