There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
wears was supposed to be incurable.
For great MANY years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced 1t incurable. Science has prov
en- catarrh to be constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured bv F. J. Cheney & Co.,

A LEARNED DIPLOMAT.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, England's New
/ United States Minister.

Sir Julian Pauncefote, England's New
United States Minister.
In appointing Sir Julian Pauncefote as min
lister from England to the United States Lord
Salisbury has departed from the usual Gus
tom of promotion from the diplomatic corps.
Sir Julian Is taken from the home Office,
having long been under secretary for foreign
affairs. Whether Lord Salisbury took this
course to avoid criticism for sending a repre-
sentative of either too high or too low grade
to the United States, or as a slight expression
of resentment for the sending home Of Lord
Sackville, does not appear. At any rate Sir
Julian gets q good post and the diplomats
who have been ignored are mad"
Sir Julian Pauncefote Is son of the late
Robert Paunceforte. He was born in 1928 at
Munich and attended school at Geneva and
Paris, where he became familiar with the
modern languages In common use on the con-
tinent, knowledge which has been invalu-
able to him In his professional career He
completed his education at Marlborough col
lege, in England His father wished him to
enter the Indian army, but the young man
preferred the law In 1852 he was called to
the bar. He was some time afterwards APP
pointed private secretary to Sir William
Molesworth, secretary Of state for the colo
MES, but upon the death Of Sir William be
returned to the law. In 1862 he concluded to
practice his profession at the Colony of Hong
Kong, O place of considerable international
Importance. In 1865 he became attorney gen.
eral of the colony, and by virtue Of his posi-
ton was also q member Of the executive and

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
Some Practical Advice About Trees and
Plants.

The seeds Of ANIMALS should in nearly all
instances be sown in locations free from shade,
with soil well pulverized and enriched with
stable manure. The perennials require less
sun than the ANIMALS, although Q few such
plants as the pansies will do well il they re-
ceive the sunlight for half the day. In most
catalogues there is q distinction made between
the tender ANIMALS" and the ''hardy ANIMALS, VI
which is q necessary precaution for all who are
not intimately acquainted with the nature,
needs, and requirements Of the plants that they
intend to grow. The former should not be
planted out in the green ground until spring is
well advanced, and then they should be given
the most favorable locations, so far as sun
and richness Of soil are concerned. The
method of sowing them also differs more or
less, but certain general rules can be laid down
that will apply in nearly all cases where an
nuals are to be sown in the open ground. They
can be sown thickly in one bed. and then trans
planted after they have come up and attained
a little growth. The better way, however, is to
SOW them in rows about foot or two apart.
and so thickly that some can be transplanted.
The soil should be pulverized and stirred up
carefully before the seeds are pat in, and then
some fine soil shaken over them sufficient to
cover the seeds from a quarter of an inch to
an inch. according to their size. sieve is the
best thing for this work. The bottom should
be made of mosquito wire-netting, which will
sift the soil down to its proper fineness. After
this is done a board or trowel should be used
to smooth down the surface of the bed. This
will pack the dirt around the seeds and prevent
them from drying up.
Labels should always be placed in the center
OF each bed, or at the end of each row. This
will enable the sower to ascertain whether he
has given the right seeds, and if the practice
was adopted in all instances 1t would prevent
many complaints which are annually leveled at
the heads of the seedsmen. Another cause OF
complaint about seeds could be removed if
weeds were always diligently rooted up as soon
as they appeared above the surface. Many
weeds will grow faster than the flowers, and il
allowed to get the start they will absorb all of
the strength of the soil, and smother the fow-
ers. The cry that weeds instead of flowers
came up will then be no longer heard. If the
flowers come up thickly they should be thinned
out and only the strong, healthy-looking ones
allowed to remain. Those that need stalking
should be supplied with props early in their
growth, and not forced to hold up their heads
until they begin to droop.

Where the fruit Of the heart Is ripe!

Are There Mermaids In the Potomac

Warrington Letter in the Philadelphia Record
There are three big rocks in the Potomac lust
above Georgetown called the Three Sisters.
after three mythical maidens who perished
there In some romantic way centuries ago.
Strangely enough, they mark the ssddest part
OF that beautiful stretch Of river, for IL e AZ
that point that boats usually upset and swim
mers usually drown. But straugest Of all il
the fact that on the night before such death
the people living on the shore hear the Three
Sisters softly moaning-a sound distinct from
every other and never heard save on such occs-
sions. Wednesday night, for example, Just Is the
Georgetown college clock struck a. the moaning
sounds came floating ashore from the Three
Sisters, and on Thursday noon shell capsized
as 1t passed them and its owner was drowned.
