Beware of Otntments for Catarrh that Con
tain Mercury.

as Mercury will surely destroy the sense OF
smell and completely derange the whole
system, when entering it through the mucus
surfaces. Such articles should never be
used except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they will do are
ten fold to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o., con
tains no mercury, and is taken internally,
and acts directly upon the blood and mucus
surfaces of the system. In buying Halls
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine,
it is taken internally and made in Toledo.

but make darkness visibIe, and revealed
the horror of this dismal scene. The
weary hours began to crawl away. mark
ed only by Hopes watch, for in this
living tomb summer was winter. and
day was night.
The horrors of entombment in mine
have, we think, been described better
than any other calamity which befalls
living men. Inspired by this subject,
novelists have gone beyond themselves.
journalists have gone beyond them
selves: and, without any affeetation. we
say we do not think we could go through
the dismal scene before us in its general
details without falling below many gift
ed contemporaries, and adding bulk
without value to their descriptions,
The true characteristic feature of this
sad scene was not. we think. the alter
gradual sinking of frames exhausted by
hunger and thirst, but the circumstance
that here an assassin and his victims
were involved in one terrible calamity:
and as one day succeeded to another.
and the hoped-for rescue came not. the
hatred Of the assassin and his victims
was sometimes at odds with the fellow
ship that sprang out of joint calamity.
About twelve hours after theexpIosion.
Burnley detected Hope and his daugh-
ter eating, and mOiStenlng their lips
with tea and spoonful Of brandy that
Hope had poured into it out Of his flask
TO keep it from turning sour.
What, haven't yOua mOrSel for me?'
5alu Tie TuInan, III pIteUuS YUICt.
Hope gave sort Of Snarl of contempt,
but still he flung crust to him, as he
would to a dog.
Then, after some slight hesitation.
Grace rose quietly and took the smaller
can, and filled it with tea, and took it
across to him.
There" said she, "and may God for
give youl"
He took it and stared at her.
1t ain t my fault that you are here"
said he; but she put up her hand as
much as to say, NO idle words"
Two whole days had now elapsed.
The food. though economical. was all
gone. Burnley7s lamp was Pickering,
and utter darkness was about to be add
ed to the horrors which were now be-
ginning to chill the hopes with which
these poor souls had entered on their
dire probation. Hope took the alarm,
seized the expiring lamp, trimmed it,
and carried it down the one passage
that was open. This time he did not
confine his researches to the part where
he could stand upright, but went on his
hands and knees down the newest work
ing. At the end of it he gave a shout
of triumph, and in a few minutes re-
turned to his daughter, exhausted, and
blackened all over with coal; but the
lamp was now burning brightly in his
hand, and round his neck was tied acan
of OIL
"Oh. my poor father" said Grace, "is
that all you have discovered?"
THANK God for it" said Hope. "You

well as without food"

Catarrh

Is complaint which affects nearly everybody, more
or less. 1t originates in a cold, succession Of
colds, combined with impure blood Disagr.esble
flow from the nose, tickling in the tkroat offensive
breath. pain over and between the ringing and
bursting noises in the ears, the more common
symptoms. Catarrh is cured by Hoods SarssparlIa,
which strikes directly st its by removing all
impurities from the blood building up the diseased
tissues and giving healthy tone the whole system.
For several years have been troubled with that

and received by Barley, VINO seemed 10
forget nothing. for he had refreshment
tents ready at the pit mouth.
Meantime. Walter and others, whose
hearts were with him. ran wildly
through the works, and CROPPED on their
knees with their lamps to find Hope and
his daughter; but they were not to be
found. and nine miners beside them
were missing, including Ben Burnley.
Then Walter came wildly up to the sur
face, Wringing his hands with agony,
and crying "They are lost they are
lost"
NO" cried BARLEY; "they must not
be lost; they shall not be lost. One man
has come to himself. [ gave him port

held, but with a great tumbler of brandy
and port in his hand.
Nov, my man." said or rather
screamed, BARLEY, ''tell him where Hope
is, and Mary-that oh, Godl oh,
Godi"
Master" said Jim, family, "I was in
the hall with Mr.. Hope and the lady
when the first explosion came. Most of
US ran past the old shaft and got clear.
A few was caught by the falling shaft,
forI looked back and saw it. But [
never saw Master Hope among them.
If he was, he is buried under the shaft;
but do really think that he was that
taken up with his girl, and that darned
villain that fired the mine. as he's like
to be in the hall, either alive or dead"
He could say no more, but fell into a
sort of doZe, the result of the powerful
stimulant on his enfeebled frame and
empty stomach. Then BARLEY, with
trembling hands, brought out map of
the mine and showed Walter where the
second party had got to.
"See," said he. "they are within TWEEN
ty feet of the bottom, and the hall is
twenty-three feet high. Hope measur-
ed it. Give up working downward,

that hall [ see them at night; sometimes
they are alive, sometimes they are dead,
sometimes they are dying. shall go
madl | shall go madp
With this he went raging about, CIV
ing the widest orders, with the looks
and tones of mailman. In a minute
he had a cage ready for Walter, and
twenty freSh-lit lamps, and down went
Walter with more men and pickaXeS.
AS soon as he got out of the cage he
cried, wildly, Stop that. men, and do as [
do"
He took a sweep with his pick, and
delivered horizontal blow at the clay
on that side of the shaft BARLEY had
told him to attack. His pickaxe stuck
in it, and he extricated it with difficulty.
NAY, MASTER" cried miner who had
fallen in love with him, drive thy pick
at t. COAL"
Walter then observed that above the
clay there was narrow seam Of coal;
he heaved his pick again, but instead of
striking it half downward, as he ought
to have done, he delivered tremendous
horizontal blow that made the coal ring
like a church bell, and Jared his own
stout arms so terribly that the pick fell
out of his numbed hand.
Then the man who had advised him
saw that he was disabled for a time,
and stepped into his place.
But in that short interval an incident
occurred SO strange and thrilling that
the stout miners uttered treble cries
like women, and then one mighty
"Hah!" burst like diapason from their
manly bosoms.

Monckton tore the doors open and
dashed out, but furious blow fell be-
fore he was quite clear of the doorway.
With such force was it delivered that
the blunt metal cut into the edge of the
door Like sword; the jamb was smash
ed; and even Monckton, who received
but one-fourth of the blow, fell upon
his hands and knees into the hall, and
was stunned for moment, but fearing
worse, staggered out of the hall door,
which, luckily for him, was open, and
darling into little grove of shrubs,
that was close by, grovelled there in 81
ience, bleeding like a pig. and waiting
for his chance to escape entirely; but
the quaking reptile ran no further risk.
BARLEY never followed him beyond
his own room; he had been goaded into
a maniacal impulse. and he returned to
his gloomy sullenness.

Impressions of DeLand.

My impressions of DeLsnd on viewing it from

was one of the prettiest cities in Florida. Ny

third story of the University building was that il
was without exception the prettiest in Florida

ing been carefully planned. and Developed in ac-
'cordance with preconceived design. 1t is city
OF ample spaces, with park-like stretches of he
original pine forest and vast area of orange
grove within the city limits. Parceland Hotel has
an orange grove one side and an acre of lofty,
heaven kissing pines the other. So it is WITH
private residences. Most of them are either in the
the lot, with orange trees filling the remainder.
From any commanding point the city looks like
vast orange plantation with a clustering town ik
the center, and houses dotted here and there amid
the verduous foliage.-C II. Jones in letter Febru-

Forests Increasing.

Illinois is probably the only State in the
Union i'll which forest trees nrc incrcas-
ing, but here the gain is great, says a
writer in the Chicago HcraM. The vast
level plains that were once called "trec-
less prairies" arc now dotted with bcauti-
full groves in which song birds congrc-
gate and raise their young. Many towns
in which all the buildings were consDicu-
Gus for distance of twenty miles are
now completely hidden by trees. On IL
great number of farms the rows of trees
that were planted to serve as protection
against the wind have extended till they
occupy several rods of ground Small
natural groves that were protected from
prairie fires have extended on each side
till they now cover many acres In several
counties there are artificial forests Of con-
siderable extent.
The increase of forest trees in Illinois
is due to several causes. Soft coal is
cheap, and it has been generally used rs
fuel. More hedges were planted in H.
linois than in any other of tile States.
Barbed wire was invented and first
brought into use here These two sab
stitutcs for boards and rails in making
farm fences have saved vast amount of
lumber.
