Ca tarrhal
POI S ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Gaia rrh
explains the following important facts:
1. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, al first local, and finally
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional. the infection is
beyond the reach of mere local remedies.
D. 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.
d. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia, +,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption,
B. That Smokes, Doaches, Inhalatious, and
Lnsoiubie s1uffs. cannot possibly remove in
ectious infammations from the organs named.
6. That an antidote tor 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
infallible. 1t not only re1eaves, 1t cures

A DAKKEY THEEF'S RUSE.

cure by Barking Like a Dog.
From the Americus (Ga.) Republican.
A Dooly county man tells us the follow
ing on one Of the cleverest young bachelors
of that county, Gus Nj. He says:
One night last week Gus took his usual
walk around his premises to see that all
things were right He had gone through
the barnyard and his hog pens, passed the
fowl house and was nearing the smoke
house, when he thought he heard
a noise in his potato house. He
approached quickly and found it
ohcn. Aha! he had caught a thief in the
act Of stealing potatoes. Standing il front
Of the door and peering into the gloom Of
YOU doing in there? Come out" The only
answer he evoked was fierce growl. "You
nasty dog he shouted, leone out. Do
You think I wSnt to eat potatoes you have
slept ON and messed over? Come out, sir,
he said, with stamp Of the foot. Agrowl
tiercer and more threatening followed.
''Well, sir, just stay there until get my
gun and I'll bring you out by the heels y
Gus went into the house and was back IN
few seconds. "Now, Sir, come out he
shouted. All was silence except the bark
ing of a dog It hundred or two yards off to-
wards the woods. Come out, [ say.
"Bow, WOW, wow" from the woods. wont
you come out?* Bow, WOW, wow!" was re-
peated, and he went into the house with the
muzzle of the gun forward and his hand on
the trigger, but everything was quiet except
the "bow, WOW WOW, }" over i'll the edge Of
the woods and there was no dog in the
house. He came out and fired one barrel
Of his gun in the direction Of the hooking
"bow, VOW and went into the house and
retired. In the morning he found two large
tracks, telling him that q sharp: freedman
had outwitted him and taken off three Or
four bushels Of potatoes. He shook his
head and told o',r informant that the darkey
had won his potatoes fairly and he would
not bother him if he did find out who stole
them.

That Buggy and the Care of 1t.

from the tlnClnnau COMMERCIAL
It is the fashion now for the farmers boy
to have a buggy, and he must have it, It's
no longer respectable for the lad to ride to
church or to the village, or to see the girls
on horseback. The boys are getting to be
as ignorant of the art Of riding on horse
back as are the horses Of a saddle-galt. The
absurdity of this buggy business is too i'm
mense to do justice to. 1t is deep seated
in the home management.
Young America has got the start on the
farm, and the old man has to keep up with
the fashion and turn out a buggy and har-
ness for the boy to dash around with the
best horse on the premises whether the
the pillow stops OF not.
We know farmers who can not afford to
buy reaper, or a planter, or an improved
cultivator, nor thoroughbred calf or buck
or pig, but can buy buggy and harness for
the boy.
Now, it is one Of the evidences OF decay
when thing Of luxury takes precedence Of
things Of necessity or improvement. This
universal buggy buyingis not only damaging
the farmer by crippling him in the first out
lay, but it is demoalizing to the voyo
They are less useful and steady on the
farm, just in proportion to the time spent
in cavorting about the country.
But We intended to speak of the care of
the buggy. We see many of the lads in SO
great haste that they have not time to keep
the buggy clean. They come home late at
night, and leave it out in the dew or rain
bespattered with mud. They sleep late the
next morning, and have to hurry off to the
fields, and the buggy stands in the sun or
storm.
In few short weeks that new buggy is
furnished and damaged inside and out.
When We see Young America buggy pass
on the road We can read the habits OF the
boys in the appearance Of the buggy. Some
of the boys are exceedingly careful OF the

Is with furrowed jowl and crows feet visibly
encroaching the corpers Of her large, lustrous

decided stoop and decrepit gait. This
early decline is due to two causes: the very

gold. The lower part Of the ample robe is
drawn tig htly over the hips and Topped at
the left side, much after the manner Of the
entrance to a circus tent, defining boldly the
contour of faultless figure.
These ladies', in the matter of stockings
are not desultory, as they wear no shoes,
and consequently no stockings, and little of
the ankle is visible between the borders of
their robe and the curious little milrored
toe rings and resonant ankles. The luxur-
liant black tresses are parted at the forehead
and combed in thick folds behind the ears,
which are pierced in many places, and stud
ded thickly with jewlery, and fall in close
braids over the shoulders. No ornaments
are wor;, in the hair. The features are reg
ular and dehcately chiselled: but too often
the nose is distigured by. pearls and the
wire like ring of gold that hangs from the
nostril. The large and tenderly expressive
eve, the handsome mouth, when wreatls
in smiles, exposes a double row of perfect
teeth.
