Well. now, since you have opened
your mouth, will you state that DR..
Luke P. Black burn, Democratic can
dIdate for Governor of Kentucky, is
not the DR. Luke P. Black burn who

a Famous Tobacco BOX.

There was recently exhibited at two
of the London clubs Il box which be-
belongs to the Past Overseer's Society
Of tho Parishes OF St. Margaret and
st. John, Westminster, called 1.-The
Westminster Tobacco Box" So re-
markablc is its history that not only
has the Society Of antiquaries held dis
cnssions over 1t, but it has been hon
ored by a personal "reception' by her
Majesty. This box, or rather the orig
inal, for it Is composed Of no fcwer
than seven boxes in one, and the box
is the smallest of them all, was only an
ordinary horn "baccy" box, the gilt Of
one Of the Overscers Of st. Margarct's
to the conviyial club to which he then
belonged, In the year l7l3. The men,
bcrs were delighted with the gift, and
recorded their appreciation by silver
rim affixed to 1t In 1920. This little bit
Of silver seems to have worked Won
ders, for every successive parochial Of
ticer Of st. Margaret's or st. Johns
also affixed a silver plate and rim, the
subject being Of either parochial or
national interest, and when the box be-
came covered, other boxes were built
around 1t, so that at the present time,
to the ordinary oval box four and one
half inches long by three and three
quarter inches wide. of thrcc-quartcrs
Of an inch inside depth, and thirteen
and one-quartcr inches round, six
other boxes have been added, tho last
bcing octagonal In shape, about five
feet round and three feet high. While
tho first or original lox only weighs
some ten ounces, tho last weighs near
ly half Il hundred pounds, the whole
seven Weighing about twice as much.
Each silver plate represents some pa
rochial or national event of interest
which has occurred during tho year of
office Of the doners; the first Of tho
series being q representation of the
battle of Culloden In l74G---a design. It
Is said by Hogarth and the last three
the proclamation of the Queen as Em-
press of India, the erection Of the Cleo
paCra Needle, and the loss OF tho steam-
boat PRINCESS Alice, the cases thus rep

Tho Only Way.

The only way to cure catarrh is by
the use Of cleansing and healing To-
ton, applied to the inflamed and dis
eased membrane. Snutfs and fumiga-
tors, while affording temporary relief,
frritate the affected parts ga excite a
more extended inflammation. Besides,
no outward applicationsalone can cure
catarrh. Tho disease{ originates in a
viliatcd state Of blood yand a thorough
Alternative course of treatment is neces-
sary to remove It frhm the system. Dr.
Ssage's Catarrh Remedy has long been
known as an efficient standard remedy
for this disease, but to insure and per-
manent cure, It should be used In con-
junction with pr. Pleroe's Golden Med.
ical Discovery, the best vegetable al,
terative yet discovered. The Discovery
cleanses the vitiated blood, while the
Catarri Remedy allays the infiamma-
tion and heals the diseased tissues.

Furniture for Dolls Houses.

Tables and chairs can be made of
cardboard, but they are hardly dura-
bic enough for the doll house. If the
family contains brother with any
taste for carpentry he had better be ap-
piled to. Knowing the strong views
boys generally entertain against dolls
and doll houses, make this suggestion
with ditfl,lence; but there are soft
hearted moments, and long. wet holiday
afternoons, and prudent sisters will
avail themselves of these circumstances
IN furnishing their houses. Tables and
chairs are easily made, even by anna
seur carpenters. If neatly done, 1t
will be sufficient to paint the legs and
backs to initiate whatever wood is de-
sired; vanishing Is Il sticky and smelly
operation and hardly one to be recon-
mended to young folks who have any
regard for their own frocks or their
parents carpets. If, however, the
carpenter has not planed his furniture
sufficiently smooth to take the paint
kindly, many defects In construction
| can be concealed by covering the legs
and backs of the chairs with paper
pasted on. Extremely pretty chairs
can be made by covering the wood with
strong gum, and then laying cut straw
regularly side by side upon it till the
chair Is covered. Rice can be similarly
applied, but is apt to drop off after n
time, while the straw lasts for years.
Tables can be painted in dice patterns,
or covered with paper or velvet Or cut
straws. We once saw Il very pretty cf-
feet produced by pasting small scraps
ofglazed colorcd paper in pattern on
a table; 1t looked like wood inlaying.
Pictures look we'll on table, but they
require vanishing over. Sofas With
out arms can be made out of any small
box; turn the box bottom upwards to
form the seat, sew a piece OF card
against one side to form the back,
and cover the back and seat first with
thin layer Of waddlng, then with
silk, velvet, or chintz.

Mebe re-. NEUsTAEDTER " Co., New York:
GENrs-For upward Of 20 years have been
afflicted with tho Piles. When l first took
them they were blind and very painful. For
about ten years they continued as blind then
tinued to increase until J. was losing at eyery
stool fully gill Of blood and frequently,
While standing at my desk. the blood would run
down into my boots have had these hon.
orrhoids to last for several hours. In the
meantime, like drowning man, was grasp
ing mt everything trying to find relief. On
ono occasion I had them cauterized, which,
effected temporary relief for a short time only
however. About ten months since, whilo at
stool. my eye fell OH an advertisement headed
in large letters, "Piles," 'Send cent stamp
and get circular" did 80 and received few
Plain Blunt Facts" in reply, after reading
senso that would give "Anakesis" a trial. I
did 30 and tho result WAS, that after a few
days use. the bleeding ceased and have not
suffered moments pain since. 1t is said that
"a fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind"
So. knowing quito number Of friends who
were suffering like myself distributed quito
number OF them and from every one re-
without ''Anakess" for a hundred times it's
cost: To all who arc afflicted with Piles
would say: "Give Anakesls trial and you
will no longer be a sufferer"
