When Col. Sellers gives you "point-

you that you have palpitation of the

Catarrh

Is usually the result of neglected "cold
in the head,v which causes an inf1am-
nation of the mucous membrane of the
nose. Unless arrested, this inflammation
produces Catarrh which, when chronic,
becomes very offensive. 1t is impossible
to be otherwise healthy, and, at the
same time, afflicted with Catarrh. When
promptly treated, this disease may be
Cured
by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, eel
suffered, for years, from chronic Catarrh.
My appetite was very poor, and | felt
miserably. None of the remedies 1 took
afforded me any relief, until commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparila, of which 1
have now taken five bottles. The Catarrh
has disappeared, and l am growing
strong and stout again; my appetite has
returned. and my health is fully restored.

meet on the same seat. We never saw a
man take out his pocket-book on encoun-
tering a new acquaintance and say " All,
George, delighted to see you Do take a
few stamps It's my treat p Do men
have a mania for paying each others bills ?
And is drinking together more social "
than eating together or sleeping together?
a traveller may go all over the continent
of Europe, of Asia and of Africa without
seeing any man except Yankee offer TO
treat" and the Frenchmen are quite social
enough, but when they turn into cafe to
sip their wine or branded coffee together,
each man pays for bis own. When two
Germans, long separated, meet, they will be
very likely TO embrace and then turn into
an adjacent beer cellar, sit down and drink
and eat pretzels and chat, but when they
part again each man settles his score indie
pendently. So in Italy. The Italians are
probably merry and generous, but each
pays for his own wine, macaroni and
cigars. They would as soon think of trans
ferring each other their washerwoman' S
bill.
The preposterous fashion of treating"

our saloons as treating n-consisting in

It is pure Amerieanism; all over the re-

Cayenne pepper blown into the cracks

mice.
For scalds and burns no remedy is better
than white of egg. It excludes air from
the wound as well as collodion, and is more
cooling than sweet oil and cotton. 1t
should be poured over the wound as soon
as it is made.
A good remedy for corns is this Pare

and then battle in warm water for ten min
utes; take thin slice of lemon and apply
TO the afflicted part, bandaging tightly with
a handkerchief. This should be done pre-
vious TO retiring.

red lead sufficient to bring to the consist
ency of common paint. Apply with a

exposed to the weather.

trary to general opinion, growth OF ivy

An excellent grease eradicator is made of
the following ingredients: Ammonia, two
ounces soft water, one quart; saltpeter,
one teaspoonful; fine SOAP in shavings,
one ounce. Mix thoroughly and keep in

one, yet it has made millionaires of four

The best way in which to clean hair

A Chance for rnyentive Genius.

A Russian engineer, says a cable dis
patch, claims to have discovered a process
of reducing petroleum to the form of crys
tails, which may be easily and safely trans
ported to any distance and then reconverted
into LIQUID form. Commenting upon the
above the Chicago Times suggests If this
principle could only be applied to alcoholic
compounds it would save some people,
especially in prohibition States, great
deal of trouble. II Usage county, Kan,
for instance, there are seven drug stores
and no saloons. In order to get drink, it
is necessary for citizen of that county to
go to the Probate Judge and pay five cents
for permit, which entities him to become
a patron of the alcoholic department of one
of these drug stores. He must then give
the drug clerk his own diagnosis of the
physical trouble that can only be cured by
stimulation, which must be entered in
book kept for the purpose, and the brandy,
rum, or whisky, as the purchaser may
think best for his ailment will be forth
coming. In the month of September these
seven drug stores had 2S12 applications for
alcoholic stimulants. The records of the
drug clerks show that these stimulants
were dispensed to relieve, among others,
the following physical disabilities
