Catarrh in its extent and destructive force
stands next to Consumption and is closely allied to
it; for in certain constitutions the transition from
one to the other is only question OF time. 1t is
therefore singular thing tnat those afflicted with
it should not make it the of their lives to rid
themselves oil it. A single bottle of any remedy
cannot IN the chronic stage, effect cnle nor even
bring the sys EN- under its influence fully. In
many such cases the bones and cartilage OF the

And shyiy dropped the modest head
Beside his own

She did not fear his answer then,

Yet closer still her hand he pressed,
Nor answered yea, nor nay;

AT IL o'clock Mace and Big
Frank were announced. They
opened with cautious sparring on
both sides. Then Frank out with
his left, and Mace stopped neatly
and countered as quick as light
ming, Frank in turn stopping the
blow with shis right, and then
planting q singer on the cham
pion's temple, which brought forth
a round of applause. Frank had
the advantage of a tremendous
reach, and his style Of sparring was
neat, scientific and effective, except
when counters were being ex-
changed at close quarters, Then
he gave way before Maoe's quick
returns. Frequently the men closed
at half reach and exchanged half
a dozen counters apiece before they
separated, at which the audience
would stand up and cheer enthusi-
astically. After a few rounds the
men seemed a little winded from
their work, and the last round was
a short one. Mace was surprised
to find himself winded SO shortly,
but the rarity Of the atmosphere N
this altitude was, Of course, OK.

The style adopted by Mace Of
ducking the head to avoid blows
has always been considered ono o.
his strongest points. Some years
ago a heavy English hitter re.
marked in Mace's presence that his
face was not hard enough for 9
long fight, and one good blow on
his nose would demolish it. Mace
was standing against q wall at the

zette: A large paper screen hangs
down at the edge of the platform.
Suddenly flutes are blown and
drums beaten, and then five or six
trunks of green pine trees appear
on the paper screen; after which a
man habited in a ceremonial dress,
with a Yeboshi on bis head, makes
his appearance, holding a bell in
his right hand and a fan in his left.
He moves his eyes and eyebrows
about, rings his bell, foprishes his
fan and dances so gracefully to
the accompanying music that the
spectators are misled int the belief
that it is really flesh and blood per-
forming for their ediication. In a
moment the shadow yanishes; and
immediately after a variety of beau
tiful trees and lovely plants make
their appearance. There are plum
trees, chysanthemums, peonies and
lotuses, all of which are made to pro-
duce buds and blossoms and charm
ing flowers, to the astonishment Of
the beholders, who manifest their
appreciation by frequent and loud.
applause. The scene changes; the
garden disappears, and in its place
is a temple adorned with red and
white flags, and lighted by rows of
small lanterns. Worshipers are
visible passing to and fro, throwing
in their cash and praying. The
music stops; the worshipers have
all disappeared, 1t is night-mid-
night. Hark! There breaks upon
the ear the footmen's cry of waki-
yorel (give way. 1t is the process

slowly some are carrying mats +;
others lighting the procession by
torches held between their teeth ;
more are carrying wooden sticks
and bamboo poles. This procession
is that of a lady fox who is on her
way to be married; and as soon as it
has passed through the tori, all the
foxes are transformed into men, the
mats into boxes, torches to lam
terms, bamboo poles to spears, and
the wooden sticks to kago or nori-
mono. The procession passes
over the screen aud yanishes,

In a room but dimly lighted is
seated, beside a shelf on which is a
tablet in commemoration of the
dead, the murderer Yoyemon. He
strikes a bell and repeats a prayer,
after which the face of the ghost
appears on the screen, from which
emanate reproachfull words. The
face alternately changes from a
deadly pallor to a healthy hue, from
large to small, and so On. Anon it

the eyes flash forth angry glanoes,

then comes down from heaven in
the clouds, and the spirit of the
murdered woman is observed sitting
on the petals of a flower, being now
a Hotoke. Allis brilliantly illumi-
mated by the light from heaven,
and lovely flowers are seen in full
bloom.
