Danger from Catarrh
Depends upon the amount and extent of the Scrofu

consumption can be traced to neglected cstarrh.

A Mild Suggestion.

The Graduating Glass of sour Union
Schools, thinking they could be more easily
heard in the Congregational Church, made
application to the Trustees and. obtained
permission to hold their Commencement
Exercises there this year. In view of the
fact that this Church has been opened for
this purpose three times already, it was in
tended to use the Methodist Church, and
the change was made in Difference to the
wishes of the Graduating Glass. Appre-
ciating the kindness of the Trustees, and
knowing that considerable soiling and in
jury to carpets and furniture must unavoid-
ably result, we desire to caution those who
purpose attending, adults and especially
children, against entering the Church with
muddy feet and afterwards against marring
and soiling woodwork by putting feet upon
backs of seats, on gallery front, or on any
place that can be damaged Especial care
will be necessary in the event of rain and
muddy walks. tits expected that no lady,
gentleman or child will attempt to enter
until they have thoroughly cleaned their
feet. II might seem that such a request
was superfuous, but il is remembered that
last year so many paid no attention to this
that large quantities of mud were carried
in and great damage resulted. One thing
more: We are sorry for the necessity that
Ecompelsus TO request all lovers of the weed
to leave their tobacco at home. We under
stand how much those who are obliged to
stand in the vestibules during a long ses-
sion are in need of stimulant, but we beg
of them, on that occasion, to fortify them
selves in advance by double portion il
necessary, and so enable us the following
morning to view carpets pure and spotless
as those of a church should be.
To avoid the crush that has occurred
some years, the doors of two or more en-.
frances will be opened as soon as the audi
ence begins TO assemble. An efficient
police will be in attendance to preserve
order and see that no small, thoughtless
boys enter with muddy feet, but we expect
to have very little occasion for their serv
ices unless it may be to give word Of
caution to some visitors from the rural
deestricks who do not read the papers
Seriously, let every man, woman and child
consider themselves a committee of one tC
see that such order and cleanliness is OBJ
served this year as will give the officer:
and members of the Congreg gationol Churcl

was used, the responsive readings includ-
ing scripture quotations to illustrate "The

dents of both sexes have been thus assisted,
of whom many are still in the schools; 23
are in foreign lands as missionaries, 15s
more are ministers, and others are teach
ers and professional men.
The floral decorations are pleasant
feature Of Children's Day, and the music
prepared for the occasion was this year
especially good. AT the last, forty-eight
little men and women from the infant
class sang and recited in concert, with
gestures, in very impressive manner be-
ginning with
