"Facrs Are Stubborn Things,

Thousands of human beings are yearly
borne on the swift current of disease down
to the grave, just because they do not pos
sess sufficient knowledge of themselves A
man meets his neighbor and the first saluta-
uon Is: How are your" or How is your
health?' The reply frequently is: "Oh,
am well, with the exception of cold.n
Most persons lightly regard a cold. Reader,
&c you know that a cold is one of the most
dangerous of maladies? cold not only
clogs up the pores of the entire system, and
retards circulation, but it is productive of
Catarrh, which is quite apt to lead to Con-
sumption. oh" YOU say, lit is nothing
but cold in my head" True; but that cold
is really mild form of Catarrh, and if not
arrested RI its course will become chronic.
Catarrh is one of the most disagreeable,
offensive affections in the catalogue of
diseases. The passage to the nose is OBJ
there is disagreeable sensation of pressure
IN the head. In the more advanced stages
there is discharge having an offensive
odor. If the disease be allowed to continue
IN its course, thick, hard incruStations will
form in the head, the bones of which some
times become softened and break away in
pieces. Why will personscontinue to suffer
from such an annoying, disgusting disease
when they can just as well be cured of it?
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will cure the
worst forms of Catarrh in fact, it is the only
sure and safe remedy which has yet been
offered to the public. Many harsh, irritating
preparations may, for a time, relieve the
urgency of the symptoms, but they do not
cure the disease Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy is soothing and healing in its effects,
and when used with Dr. Pierce's Nasal
Douche, according to directions, does not
fail TO effect cure. Sold by all Druggists.

The Jaguar.

THE jaguar GeIts Onca) is the largest of
the carnivora found on either of the
American continents; and its size, strength
and ferocity are such that it is often called
the. South American tiger. 1t is found
IN North and South America, generally
between the tropics, and as far north as
the Red River, La. and the larger speci-
mems are but little smaller than the aver
age tiger OF Asia. The height at the
shoulder is frequently near three feet.
The skin is beautifully marked with black
circles inclosing grayish spots, on a
ground color varying from light brown
to ashy yellow; but the CONFORMATION of
the marks varies widely on different
specimens and sometimes even on the
same animal. Humboldt states that 1000
jaguar skins are annually exported from

Evening Dresses.

ONE of the novelties of the season is
the broderse lace for trimming evening
dresses. This is strong tulle embroidered
with satin floss in rich figures that make
most effective garniture; it is especially
admired on white silk dresses. Point de
Venise lace of modern manufacture, but
closely initiating the beautiful designs of
antique Venetian point, is chosen to trim
the tabliers, and as fiOunces of rich silk and
velvet dresses. For quite young ladies are
pleatings of crepe lisse matching in color
the pale cream, sky blue and rose silks of
which their dresses are made. Among
beautiful floral garnitures are rosebud
fringes, half yard wide, Of pendent buds
of varied colOrs, damask red, creamy tea
roses and pink, while others are entirely
closed in their green calyXes; these trim
the tabliers of ball dresses, and form the
bertha Of the corsage. White silk will be
the favorite color for evening dresses this
season, and this must be Of the ivory
white or creamy tints; there are also rosy
white silks that are much admired, but
blue and pearl white are passee. Velvet
of dark rich shade, such as garnet mtGrr07s
brown, deep green, or sapphire blue, is
used for trimming these white silk
dresses, in conjunction with lisse pleat-
ings, lace and flowers. The straight
moyen-age trained skirt without founces
is used with an elaborate tablier, or with
side trimmings, and often with the beau
tiful Marguerite corsage.
The corset waists of evening dresses are
formed of twelve lengthwise pieces, and
fit the figure as if they were glued there.
Velvet collars add to the effect of this
quaint medieval attire. The low cor
sages worn by young ladies have square
necks, are fastened behind, and have ell
bow sleeves. Large leaves of white che
Mile, studded with seed pearl, make beau
tiful applique trimmings on silk evening
dresses. The blossoms of fruits are much
used for garniture. There are pear and
apple blossoms, or else clusters of peach
blossoms mingled with grapes-a most
effective combination. One of the late
importations from Worth's is dress of
sea-foam green silk, trimmed with tablier
pleatings and panier putfs of cream-col-
ored ,ulle and fringe of unknown rose
buds, showing only little color. The
corsage is cut high behind, with square
Pompadour front-a fashion very preva-
lent this winter. Another pretty fashion
is that of making blouse drapery of tulle
on the front of high silk basques of even
ing dresses.-Harpe1''s Bazaar.

A Swimmer Five Hours and a Half in
StOrmySea.

THE Boston TrG0elEer says while the
ship Memnon, Capt. Baker, was beating
down the Bay of Bengal, a seaman fell
from the foretopsail yard while reefng.
4 life-buoy was cut adrift, the sailor
reached it and, stripping himself, made
fast to the buoy with his suspenders, for
the sea was very rough and he was in
danger of being cramped if he held on
with his hands. In the meantime the
ship, after sail was made, attempted to
work to the windward of him, but in
vain; after wearing several times (she
would not stay, the sea was so heavv)
and losing sight of him, ne was given up
for lost.
A faint cry was heard; he was again
seen "a lead-line was fastened to another life
preserVer and thrown overheard. Henoticed
this, struck out and finally reached it, and
was hauled on board, after being in the
water five hours and a half. He had
husbanded his strength and, as the water
was not cold, did not suffer much beyond
shipping considerable water

The Pretended Charley Ross.

THE people of St. Adams, VT, have
been for the last fortnight in a feverish
state over a Charley Ross claimant"
who turned up in their midst during the
Christmas holidays. A large number of
the towns of the country have had fraud
ulent Charley Roses, but none have had
so obstinate and amazing an attack of the
distemper as St. Adams. The boy proves
to be precocious little runaway liar
from the neighhoring village Of Milford,
named Jimmie Blanchard, some ten or
eleven years old, whereas Charley Ross
would be but six years of age if still alive;
but he had studied publications about the
Philadelphia child with considerable care
for one of his years, and told so straight
q story as to substantially convert the in
habitants Of St. Adams into community
of firm believers in the honesty Of his
claim, with comic disposition to resent
all skepticism as a slur on their town.
The boys yarn naturally fell to
pieces as soon as 1t was tested by
comparison with the truth, and Mr..
Ross, in interviewing the young i'm
poster by telegraph, found so many alb
surdItieS and contradictions in it that he
again and again assured the St Albanians
that the lad was not and could not be his
sou. But the people of that little burg,
not understanding how child could tell
q false story with such circumstantiality
of detail and apparent righteousness, and,
moreover, being piqued concerning the
local reputation of their town for shrewd-
ness, maintained that the boy sOas Charley
Ross against all corners, denounced Mr..
Ross with great indignation for his
heartlessness' in not coming on to get
him, and treated the Milford story that the
little " claimant was in reality Jimmie
Blanchard with profound contempt. For
some days it was almost dangerous for
anybody to express incredulity concerning
the boys claim in st. Albans, and when
the Milford Postmaster, Col Crosby, came
up and positively identified him as the
Blanchard boy the child's denial was for
some time taken as conclusive evidence
against the Postmaster's Identification,
and the whole town was in ferment of in
dignation against the Milford conspirator,
as they chose to regard that unlucky gen
neman. But the lad was at last sent back
to Milford, Mr.. Ross remaining an infidel,
and fully identified there as the precocious
little liar, Jimmie Blanchard On his
way back, however, he weakened" and
confessed that he was an impostor, ex-
planning that be had manufactured the
story for fun" And now we suppose
there will be an undying bitterness in the
hearts of St Adams people against the
MIlfordites, because the latter were right
and the former were sold.-Detr0at Ta15-

Buenos Ayres, and they are much valued
for their beauty.
The habitat of the jaguar is generally
thick forest, especially in the neighbor-
hood of a river, as the animal swims
well and will catch fish for its meals
when flesh is scarce. When driven by
hunger it does not hesitate to visit the
abodes of man and its strength enables it
to kill and carry off horse or a COW
with ease. Its favOrite mode of attack is
to leap on the victims back and, by plac-
ing one paw on the head and the other on
the muzzle, to suddenly break It's neck.
1t, however, rarely attacks man, and then
its hunger and ferocity are such as to
make it terrible. 1t is very fond of tur-
ties and extracts the flesh from the shell
with great skill.
A recent writer asserts that the varia
ton Of the marks On the skin of the
jaTuar IS due to climatic influences, the
species being found over territory rang
ing from thirty two degrees south latitude
TO twenty-five degrees north, from the Ar
-gentine Republic to Texas. Like its
Asiatic cousin, the tiger, the jaguar can
not be tanned, long confinement, ample
food and kind treatment doing nothing to
check its ferOcity. 1t is therefore con-
slant source of alarm to the neighborhood
where 1t lives, which alarm is not dimfn-
ished by the fact that its predatory excur-
sions are always made at night. 1t is ex-
oeedingly subtle, approaching its prey
noiselessly, and walking behind bushes
or other screens till near enough for &C
ton; it then makes some slight noise with
its tail, which alarms the victim and sell
dom fails to induce him to move to find
the cause of the disturbance The jag
uar then springs on the neck of the prey,
tears the throat to pieces Tor breaks the
neck, as above described), and carries off
some portion of the carcass; next day it
will probably return for another meal,
ana this gives an opportunity Of tracking
the beast to his lair But although the
jagUars are numerous in the region which
we have mentioned as their home, their
sagacity enables them to keep well con-
cealed and out of the range Of the rifle

Houses Without Nails.

THE steamship Alaska, which arrived on
the 10Th inst, brought from Japan most
of the exhibits, national and private, which
will be made by the Japanese at the Cen
tennial. Others will follow, but the Japa-
nese are prompt and are taking time by
the forelock. Two Japanese officials have
been delegated to supervise the exhibits,
which will be many and varied On the
Alaska were $50 tons, Or fifteen car loads,
of material for japanese houses, to be
erected on the Exposition grounds. Ten
japanese carpenters accompany the ma
terial, which is, in the main, bamboo,
the chief wood used for houses in the
Empire of the Sun. The material is al
ready prepared in a great measure; all the
hewing, the dressing, ETC., has been
done and no labor remains for the
swarthy carpenters excepting the task of
finishing the material and putting the
frames together. Several styles Of houses
will be on exhibition. A singular fact in
connection with the houses is they are
entirely devoid of nails. The wood is
packed in tight cases, almost hermetical-
ly sealed, and in consequence of the jap
anese Consul's uncertainty in regard to
the contents Of the cases they have been
detained at this port by the custom Off
GERS since their arrival. The necessary
formalities have been complied with at
last, however, and the japanese houses
will soon be on their way to Philadelphia.

SCHENCX's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA WEED Tonic
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedly cele-
brated and popular medicines have effected rev.
olution in the healing art, and proved the fallacy
of several maXims which have for many years Oh
structed the progress of medical science. The
false supposition that 8 Consumption is nCUrabe''
deferred physicians from attempting TO find rene
dies for that disease and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from doom which they supposed
TO be unavoidable. 1t is now proved. however,
that Consumption can be cured, and that it has
been cured in a very great number CT cases (sOme
of them apparently desperate ones) by SChencks
Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the
same medicine in connection with SchenCk'S Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, &C
eOrding TO the requirements of the case.
DR.. SChenCk himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years was sup
posed at time. to be at the very gate of death,
his physicians having pronounced his case hope
fess and abandoned him to his fate. He was
cured by the aforesaid medicines, and, since his
recovery. many thousands similarly affected have
used Dr. Schencks preparations with the same re-
markable success.
Full directions accompany each. making it not
absolutely necessary To personally see DIR. Schenck
unless patients wish their lungs examined. and
for this purpose he is professionally at his princi
pal office, Sixth and Arch streets Philadel-
phia, every Monday. where all letters for adviee

IT is no wonder that we hear this question
on every corner. So many are dying sud
denly of diseases of the brain in these days
that everyone is alarmed, and is asking:
"What shall we do?" There is alarm on ac-
count of dizziness of the head, whirling
sensation when rising up suddenly, bad,
" ail-gone'' sensation at the pit of the stom-
sch like the gnawing OF an ulcer, with a
feeling like a load after eating, pains in the
back, Sides and chest, at times, with costive
bowels, scanty, high-colored urine, some
times voided with pain, appetite poor, and
when food is eaten il oftcntimcs distresscs;
the skin, after time, becomes dark, cold
and clammy, eyes sunken and tinged with
yellow, spirits detected. with evil forebod-

present no time should be lost in using q
