A Word About Catarrh.

Ut IS the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi-fuid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of the air and food passages that Caarrh makes it's stronghold. Once established it the very vitals and renders life but longdrawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the of hearing trammel- ing the power of speech destroying the faculty of pleasures of taste. Insiduously, by creeping from simple cold in the head, it assaults the mem braneous lining and envelops the bones. eating through the delicate coats and causing infamma ton, sloughng and ueath. Nothing short of total eradication will secure health 10 the patient, and all alleviatives are simply procrastinated sufferings leading to fatal termination. Sanford's Radical Cure by inhalation and by internal administration has never failed: even when the disease has made frightful inroads on delicate constitutions, hear ing, smell and taste have been recovered and the disease thoroughly driven out.''

Celebration was long quite unintelligi-
bic, that of creatures which are very
conspicuous and often so gaudily col
ored as to attract attention; but it is
now found that many groups of species
thus colored have a totally different kind
of protection in being endowed with
such an offensive Nor and taste as to he
inedible. Whole families of butterflies,
moths, beetles and other insects are now
known by actual experiment to be so
protected, and those in every case pos
sess conspicuous colors, or at all events
are entirely wanting in those protective
hues which characterize most creatures
which serve as food to others.
As illustrations of these forms of use
full characters l may mention the glow
worm and i%ireflies, which belong to in
edible groups, but being nocturnal and
soft bodied, would be liable to be seized
and injured, if not %devoured, without
the warning light which tells all insect
eating creatures (after one experience)
that they are uneatable. This interpre-
tation of the uso cf the light was sug-
gested by Mr., Belt and has been adopted
by Mr.. Darwin.-A. II. Wallace in

The dangers of corpulence are many
fold. All diseases accompanied by high
fever are apt to follow an unusually
malignant course in fat persons. The
neat developed in these affections can
not be SO readily lost by radiation or
%conduction rs in the lean. The cold
bath, the cold pack and all forms OF
cooling measures fail to really reduce
the temperature, and the fever is, in it
self, a serious source of danger. The
skin is constantly bathed in perspiration
on slight exertion or when the external
temperature rises. Hence skin diseases
are common and often intensely annoy
ing among the corpulent. The breath
ing is interfered with by the accumu-
lated fat, so breathlessness on eXertiou
is common among them.
The frequency of pcrspirations leaves
the surface exposed to chilling influ-
ences which cause coughs, colds, bron-
chitis and pneumonia. The overlooking
of the heart with fat interferes with its
action, SO that palpitations and sudden
faintncss from partial failure of this
organ to 10 its duty are not infrequcnt.
The extra weight hat has to be carried

wonder if anybody lives the life he
wants to, and has things happen to him
as he expects or wishes. If the power
of dreaming were taken away life
wouldn't be worth living for. The sum
init of all mems ambition is in dream

Providence that they nev get there.
However high we climb. there is still
another peak beyond. The humble boo
black, looking up from the shining leather
does not wish he were the swell
who is having his boots cleaned. He
wants to run the stand, and when he
reaches that dignity, he gets his eye ON
the cigar store attached and buys that,
only to dream of owning the saloon at
the back. The senator sees the presi-
dents chair in the distance and when he
gets there he looks over toward Wall
street and sees Jay Gould and Hunting
ton away up on n higher hill, and when
a man gets all the money he thinks he
wants he looks across and sees a news
paper editor sitting above him and look
ing down upon him. Then he wants to
run a newspaper, and before he reaches
the summit of his ambition he's bank
rupt and got to begin all over again. -

In some interesting experiments made
by an English oculist on the relative
values of various forms of lamp shades
an important result WAS arrived at. The
method pursued by him was to measure
the brightness of white paper lying IN a
table over which the scource Of artificial
light was suspended at a given distance
by means of a Weber photometer. Thus
the fact was confirmed that the general
effect of "a shade is to increase very
greatly the illumination Immediately
under the light, while not modifying it
notably at an angular distance greater
than forty-five degrees from this re-
gion.
Taking as a measure of the value of
the illumination in this case the number
of lines which can be read from "A news
paper in n minute, and as a unit of
illumination that of q normal candle at
n perpendicular distance Of a meter from
the paper, it is found that the best
illumination is not less than fifty such
units, but even n fifth of this illumina-
ton is very rarely secured, except i'm
mediately under a lamp provided with a
good shade. Scientific Journal.

1t is a curious fact that no mere school
system has yet succeeded in making
children speak good English; probably
because this must be done chiefly
through the ear, and so many teachers
either err themselves or do not exert
enough of positive influence to overcome
the slovenly habits the children bring
from home. Mr.. Howells declares that
many Harvard graduates say a don't
know as" and though l suppose the
standard there is as high as anywhere,
there is no doubt that this is true. 1t Is
a melancholy fact, but l have myself
heard a Harvard professor say I'VE
was" in his class room, and probably the
best institution in the land is not free
from like blemishes. How many teach
ers of public or private schools can be
guaranteed against saying, in moments
Of entire familiarity, 81 done it, or
using II come" as n past tense. How
many can steer their way with habitual
accuracy between set and sat
Yet these are not scholastic refine
ments, but matters of good-breeding.
Any person erring in these simple mat
tiers is like one who eats with his knife
or tits his chair in company; he classes
himself at once among those who have
to be apologized for, who have to be ac-
cepted after some explanation. And
even where the teacher is u~nexception-
able, the intimate society of school or
college not merely coins slang and keeps
it in motion, but communicates inele-
gancies of speech from one to another,
like measles or the whooping-cough.-

COMFORT IN BLUE CLOUDS.


Why Men smoke-The Peculiar Tricks
and Oddities OF smokers.
How do men smoke;' repeated the
man of knowledge, in a reply to a query
of the reporter, as he tilted back in his
chair and lit n cigar. 81 should answer
that by asking another question, that is,
Why do men smoker You tell me why
"A man uses the 'noxious weed and l will
tell you how he does it. There are an
infinite number of reasons why men
smoke. Some men smoke because they
are nervous, some men smoke because
they are phlegmatic, many merely from
habit, n very large number 10 it because
others do so, and a small minority smoke
because they really enjoy it.
Smokers have all sorts Of peculiar
tricks and oddities. One man | once
knew had a trick of constantly knock
ing off the ashes with his little finger
He would keepthat little finger wagging
continually, and when there were no
ashes he would burn his finger. But it
was Il habit which he seemed wholly un-
able to overcome. Some men whom |
have known would always swallow he
smoke. The nicotine-lacen vapors which
they would take into their stomachs
must have kept those organs in n con
stant state of d%istension.
"Others seem to find an inexplicablc
delight in making chimneys of their
noses and sending the smoke in vol
umes through those o%rifices. | once
knew a man who had a peculiar trick
of shutting one eye to look along his
cigar with the other as lie put it into
his mouth. lie was a bashful man,
and never thought of flirting with tho
girls on the street, but that habit used
to get him into no end of scrapes.
How; Why, the girls all thought he
was winking at them.
"The peculiar habits of smokers will
sometimes run through Il whole family.
| remember a funny instance of that.
A man came to me in my office one day
and represented himself as a brother of
an old friend of mine. He was a
shabby, forlorn-looking specimen, and
| was not inclined to believe his story,
especially Us there was no personal re-
semblance to his brother, but | sat and
talked to him n while. He told a plausi-
BILE story, but still | was not inclined to
believe him, and finally ! told him to
clear out, that | couldn't be bothered
with him. Then my better feelings
came to the front, and l gave him a ci-
gar. lie took it with a sad, forgiving
smile and lit it.
He hadn't taken but one puff before
l was on my feet begging his pardon.
After taking that puff he had taken out
his cigar with a peculiar jerk and had
blown the smoke out of the corner of
his mouth in a manner which l had
noticed and laughed over a hundred
times when with his brother saw him
do it. | knew then that ! was no be.
ing imposed upon. 7-Galveston News.

Fain ould | hold my lamp of life aloit;

But God will hold His world above despair.
