The Funereal Month Of March

An observant metropolitan barber says that
he can tell ones physical condition by the
state of the hair
The Bible tells US that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength. The Romans con-
sldered badness a serious affection and Julius
C4sar was never quite satisfied with himself
because his poll was bare
The face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in its various express
sions. lines, changes and complexion the
state of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and vet
has pailid brightness, the face upon whose
cheeks nature paints rose of singular beau
ty and fiush more marked in contrast with
the aiabaster appearance of the forehead and
nose and lower part of the face, is one of
those whom the skilled physician will tell
you will some day dread the funereal month
OF March, because it is then that consump-
ton reaps its richest harvest. Consumption
they tell Us is caused by this that and the 9TH
tr thing, by microbes in the air BY micro
organisms in the blood, by deficient nutrition,
BY thousand and one things, but whatever
the cause, decay begins with a cough and the
remedy that will effectually stop the cause of
that cough cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of wasting. To
stop 1t erectually, a remedy must be used
that will search out the cause, remove that
and then heal the lung and d. away with the
cough. This is the power. special to itself.
possessed alone by Warmers Log Cabin Cough
and Consumption remedy This is no new
tangled notion of narcotics and poisons, but
an oid-fashioned preparation of balsams,
roots and herbs, such as was used BIZ our
ancestors many years ago, the formula of
which has been secured exclusively by the
present manufacturers at great trouble and
expense. II is not mere cold dryer. 1t is |
a system-searcher and upbuilder and a con-
sumption expellant. Where others fail, it
wins, because it gets at the constitutional
cause and removes it from the system.
j. w. Hensaw of Greensboro, Pa, on
Jan 10, 1888, reported that she had derived |
more real benefit for the length of time, |
from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption remedy than he had for years from
the best state physicians"
If you have a cough night sweats, positive
assurance in your own mind that you OH
you, have no consumption" and yet lose flesh,
appetite, courage, as your lungs waste away.
you may know that soon the funereal month
of March will claim you, unless promptly
and faithfully you use the article named. If
other remedies have failed try this one thor
oughly. If others are offered, insist the
more on trying this unequaled preparation.
Some persons are prone to consumption |
and they should never allow the disease to
become seated

Will you please correct the statement made
in yesterdays issue in regard to st. Catha-
rine's Hall There is no foundation whatever
for saying that several changes are soon to
take place" or that ''the present French
teacher will go, and Mr.. Hyde the Episcopal
organist, is to have charge of the music, or
that other changes are contemplated.
1t is true, indeed, that the Rev. Mr. Mar
tin has resigned, but his resignation was
offered last September. and it was not until
three weeks ago that the Board of Trustees
were willing to accept it, and then only be-
cause they saw that the step was inevitable.
In justice to Mr.. Martin it ought to be known
that it was only in consequence of earnest
solicitation that he took charge of the school
two years and a half ago. that the Trustees
have the highest appreciation of his most
faithful services as Principal, and that it is
with very great regret that they have been
compelled to accept his resignation.

Did you ever hear of the superstition
prevalent in some fashionable localities to the
effect that anything bearing the design of a
bird is an object of i'll omen?" asked an Au-
gusta merchant of the Journal scribe yester-
day. The scribe had to confess that he was
blssfully unconscious of the fact that faint
of polytheistic Imagination still fingered in
the blue blood of the nineteenth century.
"A Boston stationer on Beacon hill" re-
sumed the merchant, told me that many of
the most cultivated people in buying stationery
would shun the purchase of anything that
was marked with the design of bird, as they
considered il an i'll omen"
A New Yorker, overhearing the converse
ton. remarked with glee, is it possible that

y most remarkable story OF trout fish
ing comes from Cape Breton Island in
tho extreme northern part of Nova
Scotia. The narrator's hero is himself,
and he says that one writer, being tired
OF salt beef, went out to catch trout for
his table. In that locality the fish are
quite plentiful whom the waters OF Lake
Ainslco are sufficiently warm to cause
them to seek a cooler retreat, and on
tho day i'll question the conditions must
have been unusually favorable, for the
fisherman $ only trouble was in the OK
ertion Of handling the numerous catches.
SO eager, indeed, were the fish that they
would often jump above the water to get
the bait, and the sportsman concluded
to facilitate matt RS by dangling the
hook about a foot above the wator and
getting on his knees and giving the fish,
as fast as they jumped up, dcXterous
box on the ears that sent them Sprawhnp
on The Ice. The plan worked admirably,
and the narratOr's hand was kept So
busy that he was finally forced by sheer
fatigue to put an end to the novel
pastime. WHAT is called conservative
estimate places the quantity of fish Sc.
cured Mt over four barrels. The gentle
man was probably willing to return to
salt beet before ho exhausted the supply
on hand. What n paradise Tor anglers
that particular stream must be! And
what All inventive genius that lone fish.
