Catarrhal
pO S ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
l. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, AT first local, and finally
constitutional.
,. That, being Constitutional. the infection is
beyond the reach OF mere local remedies.
8 That impurities in the nostrils. are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhna
and Consumption.
3. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations, and
lnsoluble S1ntfs. cannot possibly remove in
fectious infammations from the organs named.
6. That an SantidoGe 1or Catarrh must pos
sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality
Of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories, DR..
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
infalibe. 1t not only re1eaves, it cures

The Common School the Farmers Hope.

Prof. Elbridge Gale, of Kansas, upon
the subject of common schools for the
rural class, writes as follows in the Ru-
raj NeaC- Yorker: Much has been said
and written in regard to an improved
culture of the rural classes. They are
| demanding something more than
hitherto, and asserting for themselves
a higher position in the social scale.
While there are steps backward as well
as forward in all movements towards
higher civilization, we may be sure that
the end here sought will be reached.
Agriculture in all its departments must,
in years to come, command a higher
class of talent and q broader culture
than in the past. While we are inclined
to give high honors to the rural press,
to the associations and societies formed
to promote rural interests, and to agri-
cultural colleges, where they all recog-
nize the object of their creation, the
more intelligent among the masses are
feeling that they can Justly demand
something more for the children in the
common schools than has hitherto been
offered them. We ask that the culture
of the common school shall be turned In
some slight degree towards rural and
luuI0lIlal 1uGeISSJS. u ulOIG RCuGId1
diffusion of knowledge relating to agri-
cultural and industrial pursuits is de-
manded. Our children need culture
that shall impel towards farm life This
cannot be attained by the instrumental
tiles now employed.
Hence we propose that the common
school shall be made more tributary to
our rural interests. We want an ele-
mentary course of instruction in mat
ters, both practical and scientific, that
relate directly to rural life. This should
be SO elementary in its character that
the great mass of our children may ac-
quire it by the time they are fourteen
years old. By this means the common
school will, to a certain extent, become
the training school of our agricultural
and industrial colleges. These latter
institutions will then have opened to
them a much wider field of usefulness
and the possibility of much more
thorough culture to those who may enjoy
their advantages.

ALASKA explorers. report one of the
largest rivers in the world, the Yukon,
as navigable for steamers, and at 800
miles from its mouth it receives a very
large navigable tributary. The basin
formed by the confluence is twenty-four
miles wide The Yukon is nearly as large
IS our Mississippi. Indians are every
where and war. between tribes is a fixed
institution. There is snow for six months,
and without roads dog sledges find good
travelling. Game abounds, and Indians
have an easy life. From seven to nine
dogs make a team, the odd one being the
leader. The driver has to watch thisdog.
If it gets on the scent of game it is off
and the whole team is demoralized. OFF
they scamper, through the woods and
thickets, upsetting the load, smashing the
sled, tearing the harness, and giving the
boss days of hunting to restore the status
quo. So vast a country, traversed by
navigable waters, will soon tempt restless
and speculative adventures to explore it.
