SYM PTOMS

The symptoms of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons find they have a cold. that
they have frequent attacks, and are more SEN
sitive TO the changes of temperature. In this
condition the nose may be dry, or a slight dis
charge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
AS the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increased in quantity and changed
lhquality; they are now thick aud heavy, and
are hawked or coughed off. The secretions
are offensive, causing bad breath; the voics
thick aud nasal; the eyes are weak; the sense
OF smell is lessened or destroyed; deafness
frequently takes place.
Another common and important ,vrnptoro of
Catarrh Is, that the person is obliged to clear
his throat in the morning of a thick or Shiny
mucous, which has fallen from the head dur
ing the night. When this takes place, the
person may be sure that his disease is ON It's
way to the lungs, and should lose no time in
arrestiug it,

al symptoms. Write to our Laboratory for

PICKING UP THoUGHTs-Boys you
have heard of blacksmiths who have be-
come mayors and magistrates of towns
and cities, and men of great wealth and
influence, Whist was the secret of their
success? Why, they picked up nails and
pins in tho street, and carried them homo
in the pockets of their waistcoats. Now,
you must pick W thoughts in the same

they will grow into other thoughts al

Il was . vet, disagreeable day, the
sidewalks were muddy aud slippery, the
rain fell ceaselessly, and people had q
forloru and uncomfortable look as they
plodded along the streets. / was going
long way out Of town and as usual set
tied myself for ride in . street car. We
made slow progress, for the rain sent
many fugitives to seek our shelter, and
erybody seemed to feel that everybody
else was ia TIE way as one after another
with dripping umbrella, and muddy boots,
or worse, voluminous draggled skirts,
came crowding past, vainly looking for
seat. These street cars are fine places for
the study of human nature, and l always
improve my time, in q quiet way, of
course, believing that trifes indicate
character as we'll as great actions, although
I do get deceived sometimes when trifling
acts are affected and not spontan eous, as
for instance, when Jones yields his seat
very gracefully to charming young
lady, but as I happen to know, Keeps the

We got rid of a part Of our passengers,
and were becoming quite comfortable and

heard CHEEKY voice say, aud then
round, black face looked in at the door,
and We saw jolly old negro woman, for
it was in Boston where many labor under
the delusion that negroes have souls, and
that black person is as good as anybody.
This one was about sixty years old, for it
puzzles mo to count the years on black
face, but her heart was young I am sure,
and Notwithstanding her features were of
ON ebony hue they were as bright and
sunny as spring morning. She was
neatly dressed, far better than some fine
ladies in tho car who began to shrink
little in anticipation Of her passing them
to the only vacant seat by the opposite
door. The old lady looked smilingly
through the car, no one moved, in fact
there was hardly time, for she turned
quickly and tapping the conductors arm
said, "BleSs your heart, honey, couldn't
think of crowding past oil these nice
ladies', l in my wet dress! just you wait ,
bit and I'll run around outside" and =.
stepping quickly down out she went into
the rain and the deep mud again, and =
soon her happy face was at the other :
door, and with satisfied look she took :
her well earned seat | think every one
vas touched by her kind consideration,
'or low buzz of approval went through g
he car, aud many pleasant looks were
,iven her, and two openly thanked her. G
for me felt rebuked. Thought this q
'oor, old black woman had given beau .
iful lesson, and took it home and !
banked her in my heart. Thought of
be many white ladies whom had seen {
ustling and crowding for the best seat, |
arelcss of evsrybody's comfort but sheir I
wn, taking seats from gentlemen 40 .
natter of course without even rendering d
nipple thanks, and l said surely they =
night learn lesson from this old, black
ady, for lady she certainly was.-Boston !
