THE BREATH is ALWAYS TAINTED,


And SO reyoltingly offensive in some cases as to
render the sufferer object of disgust to himself
as well AS to others. Thus the patient lives con-
tnually in an impure atmosphere of his own sur
rounding, and inhales the poisonous eflluva with
every breath Being deprived of the necessary
supply of fresh and wholesome air the lungs be-
come weak and delicate, and the blood loses its
yitalizng power. The stomach becomes weak and
irritable, result scarcely to be wondered at,
when We reflect upon the large amount of offensive
secretion from the head and throat which is con-
stantly being conveyed to it by the food and drink
or passes down during sleep, vitiating the gastric
Juice and interfering with digestion.
EFFECTS UPON THE SYSTEM.
The pernicious influence of Catarrh upon the
system soon manifests itself The patient loses
flesh and strength, is languid, unable to perform
mental or physical labor with the usual facility, is
nervous, depressed in spiri is, timid agiated, and
inclined to drowsiness and sleep the memory is
weakened and permanent impairment seriously
threatened.
Tho mucous membrane becomes morbidly SEN
sitive to unfavorabe influences, and in spite of the
utmost care becomes affected from the slightest
causes, so that at last a breath of wind upon the
lining of the nose or throat becomes productive
of a cold and gives rise to a serious disturbance
of the respiratory organs. Thus the patient is
subject to frequent and repeated colds, each
attack aggravating the disease by giving it new
impulse, and involving larger extent of surface
than its predecessor In this manner the diff
Guilty spreads from organ to organ, invading the
throat arynx, trachea and bronchial tubes, until,
encroaching further and further, it reaches the
finer ramifcations of the bronchi, when but a
slight impulse is required to send it to the lungs
Thus Catarrh becomes the starting point of con-
sumptive development the disease being eventu-
ally transmitted to the lungs both by nervous con-
nection and continuity of surface.
So frequently has this course been noticed that
we now look upon Catarrh as premonition and
one of the very earliest manifestations of Con-
sumption.

ing the jealous wrath of the ensign, and
this appeared to be shared by the
fair Emma. At least, she certainly acted
in manner which was likely to pique
him; paid more attention to what l
said when we were together, and
seemed to prefer walking with me; but
can not put into words the many little per
ceptible, though undefinable, shades of con-
duct which were calculated to depress him

changed his uniform, sat bolt upright in

under his chair, his eyes looking unutter-
able things at his charmer, who was oppo-
site, and SO close. Her hand touched his
occasionally, and then he positively cOlored.
"And why must you go9' asked Mrs
Duckling with her voice, and Miss Emma

They were not brighter than her soul-lit eyes
And at her feet, in fond devotion kneeling
prayer like this suffered to arise:
may this fair hand, very sceptre swaying
Der many heart, soon find its chosen mate,
And its sweet owner, potent love obeying,
Taste rarest pleasures in the married state"
I kissd her brow, DER which in glossy splendor
Her tresses wander in their jetty sheen
A forehead very gentle, meek and tender,
UNMARKED by passion, beautiful, serene
Not vast in int elect, but rich in graces
That spring from woman's nature, and increase
The soften'd loneliness OF sainted faces,
Spreading a vail of purity and peace
kiss'd her cheek, with crimson color flushing
Like sunset clouds at close of summer day
A rare proficient in the art of blushing-
How touching is the exquisite display
OF hues contending for transient reign,
The gorgeous scarlet with the pearly white
The roses vanish but soon come again
To bask in radiance from her eyes so bright.
i kissd her lips, and oh sensation thrilling
Quite indescribable, and so divine
knew the angel girl was very willing.
For her moist lips lhrobbed ardently to mine.
She murmurd, Hands, cheek, brow and lips are
ever
Completely at thy service as before,
But to satisfy me you'd endeavor
Just right about march out of this hair store"

A KANSAS HERMIT.

The Topeka Commonwealth gives the fol-
lowing account of a strange being, brought
to light by the extension of the Atchison
and Santa Fe railroad. The writer SAYS:
His name is William Dill, and he lives
about three and half miles from the city.
He was born in Pennsylvania, is of medium
height, and emigrated to Kansas before the
war, and subsequently served three years
with General Lane During the war he
spent very little money, and at the expira-
ton of his term of service he bought the
land, thirty five acres, which he now oceu-
pies, at five dollars an acre. He is sixty
seven years of age his hair is long and
gray, and his body is very filthy and lousy
He wears q ragged pair of pants, and an
old shirt which has not been washed for
months.
His dug out, or rather den, is located on
the bank of Indian creek, and is about
fifteen feet square. The door is made of
two boards nailed together in the shape of
an X. All the light and air which get into
this howell come III at the doorway. When
it rains the water pOurs through the root,
flooding the earth floor We enter. What
squalidness! In the rear end is a fire place.
In one corner are several old trunks, which
look as though they might have been with
Noah in the ark. On one side is an old
rickety bench. From the centre of the roof
box in which he keeps his victuals, and a
pdS ol SALT are suspended. he has no 0ed,
and when asked about it, he said 1.-The rats
ate the one had, and | have not bought
any since" He has one COW, two chickens
and an old dog, which is constantly by his
side. The animals go into the den as often
as they please. A few broken cooking uten-
sils lie around the howell, and in appearance
are not behind the rest of the outfit. His
principal diet is beans and water, and in
the summer few vegetables are added 20
his bill of fare
The route of the road as staked goes
directly over his den, and he now talks OF
taking homestead. He rarely comes to
the city, and when he does it is by path
worn by himself in the last six years. He
is never seen on public road. He asso-
ciates very little with his neighbors, and
they little with him, because he is so filthy
and lousy. Some think he has money and
is too misery to spend it, while others
think his degradation is wholly the result
of poverty. He talks freely to those who
visit him, but is mum on his pecuniary cir
cumstances. One of the railroad mess
houses is very near his abode, and he
spends much of his time with the work
men, who dub him Robinson Crusoe of
Indian creek William Dill, his den. his
stock and his surroundings are really WORTH
a trip to all.

GIVE US BACK THE TAILS.

If we, 80 Mr.. Darwin says,
From monkeys are descended,
Old Time, in changing things, hath not
As yet the matter mended.
Descendants of our ancestors
Have no such times as they,
Who had no rent of house or tax
OF government to pay.
No tailor bills came in-Dame Nature
Clothing gave
And freaks OF fashion did not make
OF monkey girls slave. ..
So the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails:
And, Darwin, if you can, my boy,
Just give us back the tails.
No hurrying ont of bed had they,
No boiling breakfast down,
No hasty walk to shop in fear
OF some old boss's frown.
The lady monkey sat not up
Till day the night did r0ut,
In waiting for the lodge to close
And let her husband out.
They had no votes, It's true, but they'd
No officers to keep,
And DER defaulter's cash account
They never had to weep.
So the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails
And, Darwin, if You can, my boy,
Just give us back the tails.
They had no fashions promenade,
Where beauty's feet could stray;
But then the old bOss-monkey had
No milliner to pay,
They had no wine, the monkeys young,
Through night to keep a storming;
They saved thereby (you know YOURSELF
A headache in the morning.
A peaceful race were they, who ne'er
To wars appeal did fly;
They saved thereby occasion for
Joint Commission High.
A smarter race were they than that
Which from them hath descended,
And time, by changing things hath not
As yet the matter mended,
For the Olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails;
So, Darwin, If you can, my boy,
Please give us back the tails.

On July l, 1901, seventy years ago, one OF
the first steamboats, ever built made a trial
trip on the Thames. This is the account of
it given by the London papers of the day:
An experiment has taken place on the
river for the purpose of working a barge or
any other heavy craft against wind and tide
oy means OF steam engine, on a very sim
pie construction. The moment the engine
was set to work the barge was brought
about, answering her helm quickly, and she
proceeded at once to make way against q
strong ebb tide at the rate of nearly two
miles and a half an hour"
