Wei De Meyers Treatise ON CaSarrh,
explains the following important facts:
l. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, AZ first local, and finally
constitutional. ~
3. That, being Constitutional. the infection is
beyond the reach OF mere local remedies.
3. That impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and aenise urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal v1xns follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia.
Chronic Diarrh@a, Bronchitis, Leucorrhoea
and Consumption, ..-.
5. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations. and
lnsoluble Snufs. cannot possibly remove in
feetious infiammations from the organs named.
6. That an,antidote ior Catarrh must pos
ssss an inoculative affinity for. and the quality

Lafayette's Generosity.

Unfortunately, too many great men,
among those classed as statesmen, de-
serve the censure which Goldsmith
passed on Burke
Who, born for the universe. narrowed his mind.
And 10 party gave up what was meant for mankind.
Lafayette was not OF this class. Nor
was he guilty of the other ethical blum
der which not "A few good and great men
commit, of being so engrossed with prin-
ciples rs TO be indifferent to persons. He
was not only patriot and lover of free
institutions, but generous friend and II
sympathizing benefactor.
Matthew Carey, the father of the po-
litical economist, who recently died i'll
Philadelphia, was obliged to leave Ire
land, on account of political pamphlet,
whose sentiments were considered trea-
sonable. He took refuge in France,
where he set up type for Dr. Franklin,
who had small printing Office near
Paris. There he made the acquaintance
of Lafayette. The Marquis became
much interested in the young Irish
patriot.
Some years after Carey came to the
United States. He was living in Phila-
delphia, struggling to establish a news
paper, when Lafayette visited that city.
The Marquis sent for him, inquired into
his prospects and promised to recon-
mend him to his friends.
The next morning the struggling jour
nalist was surprised to receive letter
from the Marquis, containing four 800
notes, but not word i'll reference to the
inclosure
1t was a noble act, worthy of the no.
BILE man who had spent n large part of a
princely fortune in the cause of Amer
lean liberty. He could not only risk his
life for nation, but he could aid poor
young man to make living.
Several years after, when the young
Hishman had become well off, he sent a
valuable present to the Marquis. When,
in 1924, he again visited this country,
broken in fortune, Mr.. Carey sent him
800. The French gentleman, who did
not like to be repaid gift, was with diff
ficulty persuaded to accept the money.

First Romance of the New Spring.

1t is moonlight ON the hill. From ont
the trees a gentle zephyr creeps to rob
the hyacinth of its perfumed breath, and
adown the garden walk the whip-poor-will
lends his monotone of sadness unto the
balmy night. Sleep, with brooding
wings, sits silent DER the scene. But
bark it is the tinkling guitar stIummed
by the lonely Augustus. He comes.
Beneath the vine-clad window in the
ghostly cleaning he pauses, and up the
fiower-trellised wall he shoots n melan-
choly tenor fraught with the passionate
inquiry, 'Must j leave thee here alone?'
No answer returns save the haunting
echo and the low clicking of n distant
door. The scene changes.
1t is the back yard tableau a white
robed old man bends above chained
dog ond soothes his too-eager spirit as
he loosens the collar. A low voice says
"S-cc-ceck him, Bull-take II short cut
round the rose-bush." A fash-and the
old man is alone. The clatter of fallen
guitar comes from the front sound
like the rush of steeple-chase nearing
IA hedge is borne back, and neck and
neck two figures cross the picket fence
to disappear down the dim perspective
of the deserted street. Then the old
man meets Bull as he returns ON the
outer walk, and removes III discouraged

mouth, while the animal retires to his
kennel III silence The door opens and
shuts upon the white-robed form, and
all is still again. But, rs he gets i'll bed
and shoves the old lady's feet ont of the
warm place, he mutters, Bull is gettin

The Sign Manual.

The practice of signing as IL mode of
giving formal assent TO written contracts
or charters is probably as old as, and in
one sense we may say older than, the art
of handwriting. Among all peoples the
art of authenticating Il document was ac-
complished by the most illiterate per-
sons, either by afiixing n stamp with the
signet ring they carried, or by initiating
the process of signing by some other and
rllder device. Conspicuous among these
more rustic maneuvers was that which
Gibbon mentions as adopted by Theo-
doric, the great Ostrogoth King of Italy.
He had a gold plate made, i'll which the
first few letters of his name were cut in
the Greek character and when paper
had to he signed by him the plate was
laid upon it, and his Majesty, passing
the pen along the paper i'll the interstices
of the metal, traced by these means the
royal signature, which he could never re-
member i'll any other way.
A still more barbarous and ungainly
device was invented, or ut least prac-
ticed, by the Turkish Sultans of Iconi-
nm, when that town was their capital.
They simply dipped their hand in the
bowl of ink presented to them, and, lay
ing it flat upon the paper or papyrus,
left the indelible impress of it in gigan-
tic and most conspicuous shape A some
what similar habit is reported from India,
where landowners in the Mahratta coun-
try are, or were until lately, accustomed
to dip their thumb in the sandal dye,
and by pressing it ON the paper leave
their sign manual, or, as in this case, it
should perhaps be called their sign Dig
ital This was i'll the case of Rajahs or
Zemindars, who could not write their
own name but it is said that in another
part of India Brahmin who was highly
educated resorted to a practice very like
that of the Iconian Sultans whenever it
was his intention to make generous
and comprehensive grant, the character

How He Remembered.

Obiect-teaching is hardly success
where there is not intellect enough to
learn lesson. Give fool thing to
remember name by, and he is more
likely to remember the thing than the
name. An exchange gives this illustra-
ton:
A gentleman called his servant one
day and informed him he wished him to
learn the names of the books i'll the
Bible. "Now," said he, 81 Twill tell You
the first, and during the day L will ask
you what it is, to see if You remember ;
it is Genesis.
Later in the day Bob was called, but
he could not remember what it was.
"Now," said his master, " L have Il way
to impress it upon your mind SO you
cannot forget it. Now, Bob, we have an
old horse in the stable. What do we
call it ?"
"Jenny"
Correct. And we have little girl
in the kitchen what do we call her?"

every well now put the two togeth-
er and you have nny-Sis-Genesis.

morrow.
Yes, sab.
The next morning Bob was summoned
to appear before his master. Good
morning, Bob. Can You give me the
name of the first book in the Bible this
morning? 2"
Yes, sab.
