There are all sorts OF ways of earn
ing living in big city One OF the
most recent that has come to my notice
is that OF dog washing. There is a
Frenchman hero who makes q COM
Portable income by washing dogs. He
has graded scale OF prices. and is
as busy as can be all day long. For
large dogs. St Bernard, mastiffs and
Newfoundland. he gets 81 for each
washing; for settlers and collies and
dogs of that size. seventy-fve cents,
and for pug and other toy dogs fifty
cents. He has his own towels. combs
and brushes but the owners of the
dogs supply tho soap. AS most dog
soaps are expensive. and as II takes
nearly cake to wash St. Bernard,
this is wise arrangement
He also makes speciality Of destroy
ing 1eas on dogs. but for this he asks a
special price. as II is a tedious job. for
he catches them flea by flea and. as
every one knows. this Is no mean task.
A few years ago people not only did
not keep dogs to the extent they do
now, but they did not take tho same
care of them. and there were very few
who would have spent so cents or 81
a week for dog-washing. Now there
are any number who are very glad TO
get it done for the price. In tho eyes
of a dog-lover there is nothing more
melancholy than an uncared-for dog.

faith $500 reward for case of Nasal
Catarrh which they cannot cure. The
Remedy is sold by druggists at only so cents.
This wonderful remedy has fairly attained a
worldwide reputation. If you have dull,
heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal
passage, discharges falling from the head in
to the throat, sometimes profuse, watery,
and acrd, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent bloody and putrd if the eyes are
weak, watery and ntiamed; if there is ring
ing in the ears. deafness, hacking or cough
ing to clear the throat, expectOratlon of often
slye matter. together with scabs from ulcers,
the voice being changed and has a nasal
twang; the breath offensive; smell and taste
impaired sensation of dizziness, with mental
depression, a hacking cough and general de-
bility, you are suffering from nasal catarrh.
The more complicated your disease, the
greater the number and diversity of symp-
toms. Thousands of cases annually, without
manifesting half of the above symptoms,
result in consumption, and end in the grave.
No disease is so common, more deceptive
and dangerous, less understood, or more

Opera House may be congratulated upon Sc
curing such great performance for theii

When such a company as this and with
a play of such undoubted merit as this, Wis

see to it that they are greeted by good au-
