.Facts Are STUBBORN Thiugs.. 3,

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-
ton is: "HOw are your or How is your
health?' The reply frequently is: ION,
am well, with the exception of q cold"
Most persons lightly regard 4 cold Reader,
so you know that cold is one of the most
dangerous of maladies? A cold not only
clogs up1the 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, at is nothing
but cold in my head" True; but that cold
is really a mild form of Catarrh, and if not
arrested in 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
structed, the sense of smell impaired, and
there is a disagreeable sensation of pressure
in the head. In the more advanced stages
there is a 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 persons continue to suffer
from such an annoying, disgusting disease
VIXEN they can Just as well be cured of il?
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 ofthe 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.. Pieree's Nasal
Douche, according TO directions, does not
fail to effect a cure. Sold by all Druggists

What shall We DOT

Z IT Is no wonder that we hear this question
on every corner. SO many are dying sud-
denly ofdiseases of the brain in these days
that everyone is alarmed, and if. asking:
"Wllat shall we do?' There is ala.m onac-
count of dizziness Of the head, a whirling
sensation when rising up suddenly, bad,
q. all gone" sensation at thezpit of the stom-
ach, like the gnawing of an ulcer, with a
feeling like load after eating, pains in the
back, sides and chest, at times, with eostiye
bowels, scanty, high-eolored urine, some
times voided with pain, appetite poor, and
when food is eaten it oftentimes distresses;
the skin, after 4 time, becomes dark, cold
and elammy, eyes sunken and tinged with
ings. When. any of these symptoms are
present no time should be lost in using
proper remedy. The one that we have
known to operate with the most certainty is

Should Have Been a Man.

{ A correspondent who has been doing
up the coal regions of Pennsylvania
describes rather remarkable speci-
men of a woman whom he ran across
in his travels. She lives at Lewisburg,
on the Susquehanna, and, although
dressed in woman's garb, she is said to
be as devoid of womanly qualities as an
iceberg is of heat. Her name is Emma
Britton, though she is better known as
"Johnny." She has a broad forehead,
clear blue eyes, a prominent nose, fine
ly curved lips, pretty teeth, round dim
pied chin, fair complexion, rosy cheeks,
and very genial and lively disposition.
She is above the medium height, is
.fleshy and well formed, and weighs
about 40 pounds. She has taken sew
eral prizes for fine skating, and can
outstrip the fleetest young men in the
neighborhood. She seems to be par
tieularlysfond of ball-piayinyy throws a
heavy baseball with-great force, swift
ness and regularity, and can catch
swift-thrown balls with great ease and
certainty. On skates she can jump fif-
teen feet, and execute the most difficult
figures. She has run 100 yards in thir-
teen seconds, which is GOOD time even
for a man, and can saddle and bride a
horse as well and as quickly as any
jockey. She is an expert rider and
driver, brave-almost reckless-and no
horse can 90 too fast for her. 8t race
or match of any kind, she will join the
sporting men, buy pools, and wager her
money with the rest of them. She will
stand at bar, cali for drinks, swallow
liquor, pay for it, smoke, and talk
horse. She is an expert marksman
with a rifle and pistol. As an off-hand
shot, her skill is simply marvellous. % At
quOit-pitchisg she shows to good adj
vantage, and she can swim a half-mile
very easily. From her earliest recollec-
ton she was extremely serry that she
was born girl. She remembers hsy-
ing stoutly protested against wearing,
dresses when quite young, and she
vowed then that she would be a man in
Spite of all of them. There is nothing
foolish or frivolous about her, but she
appears toibe a sensible, } thoughtful
woman, fully cognizant of what she is
doing, and at all times ready to defend
her position by argument that has a
Sound ring. She always said she would
never marry. She liked men as,com-
panions, but she could not think of
being the wife of one.

HEATING THE OvEN.-Fruit pies re-

first the crust will cook before the fruit
does; if too slow toward the last, the
crust will dry up before the fruit is
done; if too hot toward the last the
fruit will stew out before the crust is
done. Pumpkin pies require a fire as
hot as can be without burning the crust.

How Christmas Came to One Poor Fam.


Two little twin girls living on Center
Street, wan with hunger and suffering
with the cold and damp of a dreary,
dismal day, begged their mother for
bread. = The poor mother looked sor-
rowfully upon her little, darlings, and
told them there was not a morsel in the
house, not even so much as crust of
bread. But she told them that if the
,rag-man would -eome-yshe-vwould sell
"the bag of rags, fand that would buy
them something to eat. Encouraged
with this conditional promise, the little
girls ceased crying and said they would
watch for the rag-man.- Accordingly
they went out doors and sat for an hour
upon the cold steps watching for the
little wagon which children know SO
well. The little girls were just large
enough to. 60 to S1nday-school, and lad
learned few verses of some songs,
which they sang together as they sat in
the cold, until finally the wagon and
the man who cries out Rags-ole
iern,' came in sight, when they ran to
their mother and repeated the fact with
as much joy in their countenances as
though a fortune had .dropped down
into their midst. The mother sold the
rags and the little family had comfort
able dinner that rday.-LogisbiAe Cou-
