Memorial Cards.

The business Of selling memorial cards
to the families of deceased persons fol
distribution among friends has grown
into proportions of considerable magni-
tude. One such family in this city has
already received sample card from five
different firms bearing the name, ageand
date of death of deceased, with two
stanzas of commonplace poetry. Three
of the cards have the same stanzas. The
price ranges from fifteen to twenty-five
cents. The firms are furnished death no.
tices clipped from newspapers, and after
printing and mailing the cards, expect
either to receive an order for cards or the
return of the sample by mall CblHn'5us

Des01ate Siberia.

No one can thoroughly understand,
says the author of ''From Pekin to CAL
ais" the meaning of the word ''monot-
ony" who has not visited Siberia and
travelled hour after hour, day after day,
week after week along its dark, pine
girt roads. Along the whole OF the post
road from Irkoutsk distances are marked
by wooden posts, painted black and
white, placed at every verst, while at
every post station large board indicates
the distance from the chief towns. My
heart sank whenever I looked at these
and saw the word Petersburg with the
appalling number of naughts under it.
The few versts from station to station
were bad enough, but when it came to
the six thousand-odd separating us from
Petersburg one almost gave up all nope
of ever seeing Europe again. l have
never, even in the depths of a Bornean
forest, felt so utterly lonely and cut OIL
from the rest of the civilized world as
when crossing Siberia. Everything after
the first week became mechanical. Drink
ING tea at the stations, going to sleep at
moments notice, if there were no
horses, harnessing them at once II there
were, and returning to the depths OF our
gloomy vehicle, there to lie hour after
hour, day after day, with nothing to look
at but the black road and eternal pine Tor
ests, nothing to think of save fair, civilized
Europe, so far away, but to which one
felt, with kind of gloomy satisfaction
every jingle of the collar bells was bring
ing US nearer. Even the scenery does
not atone for all these drawbacks. The
Siberian forests are not grand, but the
trees have dwarfsh look produced by
the immense plains. Not bird, not
sound, is heard in these vast sohtudes'
and when the horses stop and the bells
are silent, the stiffness becomes almost
oppressive.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
GOOD FOR THE CHILDREN.

A prominent Buffalo physician is an
enthusiast on the subject of onions. He
feeds them to his children daily; says
they are the best medicine for preventing
colds, and adds: "Feed onions, raw,
boiled or baked, to the children three or
four times week and they'll grow up
healthy and strong. No worms, no scar
latina or diphtheria where children eat
plenty of onions every day" When this
regime is followed kissing may be dis
pensed with.-NeW York Telegram.

The Abbotr Opera Next Week.

The brilliancy of Miss Emma Abbott's
work this season is incompatible, ac-
cording to reports, and it is sur
prising that it is so uniform,
for Miss Abbott never disappoints an
audience. She always sings when an
nounced, and sings more often than any prims
in grand opera. 1t is her perfect method,
her care and discipline that render her un-
approached in this respect and that make
her voice more brilliant, sweet and effective
than ever. In Rose of Castillo" for in
stance, and Lucia, Bride of Lammer-
moor" her execution is remarkable, but in
no wise does it exhaust her. There is hard
ly an opera in next weeks repertoire, but is
difficult, yet she will sing every evening.
1.-The Yeomen of the Guard cast for Mon
day night and Saturday matinee presents
her in a unique part, but it is one that
proves her versatility, and as produced by
the Abbott Company only, the opera has
aroused enthusiasm everywhere presented.
Its humor is keen, and its melo-dramatic
parts are intensified by the Abbott version.
1t is really charming opera. The entire
repertoire is given with the strongest casts.
The sale of reserved seats opens on Thurs
day morning at the Biiou Theater.

afraid of skippers or have some way Of
eliminating them. It is estimated that the
loss bv depreciation from skipper ravages
amounts to over s., ,000, 900 year to proVis
ion dealers, and would be much greater
were it not for this Southern market.
In the course of the year great amount
of loss is entailcd by carelessness, and the
loss falls on the most valuable part of the
animal, the ham.
PRoFITLESS DISLoCATIoN.
For instance, in slaughtering, the hind
leg of hog is seized by an
iron gripper and the animal is fire.
quently jerked up so suddenly
as to dislocste the joint. The blood coagu-
lates at the dislocation, and is not drawn out
by cutting the pigs throat. A considerable
portion of that ham is lost, and it goes
South for the sustenance of the "man and
brother" This is a case in which brutality
does not pay. There is no necessity to jerk
the animal up so sharply as to dislocate his
thigh. Another source of extensive loss is
carelessness in cooling. IF the animal heat
is not all extracted, the curing process will
not reach the bone. The meat may be good
enough three-fourths of the way TO the bone,
but beyond that is tainted. Should con-
signment of these hams come back on the
dealers hands, he consigns them to the
South, and the imam and brother" again
plays the part of consumer.
The skipper is not dangerous to health
like the trichina, but most people in this
latitude prefer hams skipperless.

A Word About Catarrh.

ut is the mucous membrane. that wonderful
semi-fuid envelope surrounding the delicate
tissues of the air and food passages, that Ca
tarrh makes its stronghold. Once established,
it eats into the very vitals and renders life but
long-drawn breath of misery and disease,
dulling the sense of hearing trammelling the
power of speech, destroying the faculty Of
smell, tainting the BREATH and killing the re-
fined pleasures of taste. Insidiously, creeping
on from simple cold in the head. it assaults
the emembranous lining and envelopes the bones,
eating through the delicate coats and causing
inflammation sloughing and death. Nothing
short of total eradication will secure health to
the patient, and all alternatives are simply pro-
crastinated sufferings, leading to fatal ter
mination. SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE, by In
halation and by Internal administration, has
never failed; even when the disease has made
frightful inroads delicate constitutions,
hearing, smell and taste have been recovered,
and the disease thoroughly driven out"
SANFoRD'S RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box of Ca
TARRHAL SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED In
HALER. neatly wrapped in one package, with
full directions; price, 81 90.

He IL Very Positively for Powderly in the
Barry ImbroGlio : The Order of the
knights of Labor Growing.
The expulsion of number of prominent
knights of Labor has caused quite a sensa-
ton in this city. Among the persons who
are no longer members of the order are
Harry J. Skefington, James L. Wright,
Harry G. Taylor, Victor Drury, Mary
Sterling and Lizzie Lucas. Mr.. Skefing-
ton was at the head of N. 7. A. 226, the
shoemakers district, and was very promi-
nent in the order.
The report that General Master Workman
Powderly intends to get rid of all objection
able members, and this is the beginning of
movement to expel all members who are
opposed to the administration is denied.
John Costello, a member of the General
Executive Board, was in the city Saturday,
and in speaking of the expulsions, said:
These people expelled themselves An order
was issued that no knight could engage in a
movement to build up new organization
while they were connected with the order. By
violating this order the persons mentioned
have expelled themselves. Fred Turner, the
ex-Generai Treasurer, saved himself from ex-
pulsion by resigning before he engaged in the
movement. He is no longer a member of the
Knights of Labor, but has not been expelled.
There has been great deal of talk lately
about Tom Barry's charges against the admin
istration. am prepared to put up $500 to
prove that his statements are incorrect
Mr.. CASTILLO objected to expressing an
opinion on the prohibition movement in
this State although Powderly has come out
strongly in favor Of the constitutional
amendment. He is willing, however, to be
quoted as saying that he believes that if a
law could be passed wiping out the traffic
entirely it would greatly benefit the work.
ing men of the country. He does not be-
lieve that prohibition will prohibit, and
said that while in Leayenworth, Kansas, a
prohibition State, he could have obtained
drinks in 15 places, and he was not seeking
any.

SECURES A
PORTLAND.

u -
the county-seat of Jay county, In
diana, is half way between Fort
Wayne and Richmond, and 118
miles from Cincinnati by rail, or
about 90 miles in direct line. 1t
is in the largest continuous district
of natural gas-bearing land in the
world-a district which has been
developed and tested by hundreds
of gas wells, demonstrating beyond
all doubt that the gas supply is in
exhaustible, and its quality for fuel
and illumination unsurpassed. The
gas wells now in use at Portland
have an output of over 100000
cubic feet daily, and this supply
may be increased ad infnitum.
The Grand Rapids and Indiana
Railroad and the Lake Erie and
Western Railroad give Portland a
north, south, east and west outlet.
The county is one of the richest
agricultural and stock-raising coan-
ties in the State. Portland has fine
public schools, Normal College,
two newspapers, viz: CONNER
cial," "Sun;" a building and loan
association, seven churches, two
fine hotels, besides lesser ones, an
opera house, and does a large
wholesale, retail and manufactur-
ing business.
