Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation
while lying down; to breath freely, sleep
soundly aud undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear brain active and free from pain or
ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid mat
ter defiles the breath and rots away the deli
cate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to
feel that the system does not, through its
veins and arteries, suck up the olson that is
sure to undermine and destroy. is indeed q
blessing beyond all other human enjoyments.
To purchase immunity from such fate should
be the object of all afflicted. But those who
have tried many remedies and physicians de-
spair of relief or cure.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh, from simple head cold to
the most loathsome and destructive stages. 1t
is local and constitutional. Instant in reliev
ing, permanent in curing, safe, economical
and never-failing.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box of CA
TARRHAL SOLVENT; and one IMPROVED IN
HALER, all wrapped in one package, with trea-
tise and directions, and sold by all druggists
for Sl.00.

Great Find of Early Paintings.

Seeking in Lower Egypt, during the pres ent year, for remains of the wonderful laby. rinth of 5000 chambers described by Herod. otus, Mr. Flinders Petrie seems to have found what he sought, with the pyramidal tomb of its builder, and also came upon a great cemetery whose existence had hitherto been unknown. This cemetery covers about one hundred acres, and dates from the Greco-Roman period, one or two centuries after Christ. From it Mir. Petrie has taken hundreds of mummies, with vast collection of objects buried with them. These articles include itinerary, vases, amulets, toys, a tin ned copper mirror, a burning lens, a set of leather workers needles, flint knife, and by far the most interesting of ala splendid series of portraits, painted upon the cases of elaborately bandaged mummies, and repre-. senting the living persons whose remains were placed in these collins seventeen cen- turies ago. These pictures will add an i'm portant chapter to the history of art-Ar- kanSaw Traveller.

Big Cities of Japan.

The big cities of Japan are in the Island of Hondo, which lies south of the Yezo, and which is several hundreds of miles long and at places 200 miles wide. Here are the chief agricultural regions, the manufacturing dis tricts and, in short, Japan. Tokio itself has a million inhabitants and it lies in the center of the empire. Its distances are more mag nifcent than those of Washington and its size is about that of Philadelphia. Three hundred miles west of Tokio is Osaka, which has about as many inhabitants Chicago, and a very few miles off from this is Kiota, which was formerly the capital of the em- pire, and which boasts of as many people as Washington, Kansas City or Cleveland Osaka is now the New York of Japan, and Kiota, with it's temples, may be called the Mecca of the empire. Nagoya and Kanazawa are cities each having over 100000 popula- tion, and there are a dozen other cities in Japan, each of which contains from 40, 900 to S0,OO0 people. There are countless villages and many small cities, and the land of Japan has been semi-civilized country for centu- ries.-FraIlk G. Carpenters Letter.
