CATARRH.
A New Home Treatment for the Cure of
Catarrh, catarrha! Deafness and
Hay Fever.

The microscope has proved that these
diseases are contagious, and that they are
due to the presence Of living parasites in
the lining membrane Of the upper air passa-
ges and euthachian tubes. The eminent
scientists, Tyndall, Huxley, and Beale en-
dorse this and these authorities cannot be
disputed. The regular method of treating
these diseases is to apply an irritant remedy
wet ky and even daily thus keeping the de-
licate membrane in constant state of irri-
tation, accompanied by violent sneezing, al
lowing it no chance to heal, and as natur-
al consequence of such treatment not one
permanent cure has ever been recorded. It
is an absolute fact that these diseases can
not be cured by any application made often
er than once in two weeks, for the men,
brane must get chance to heal before any
application is repeated, 1t is now seven
years since MIR. Dixon discovered the para.
site in catarrh AMI formulated his new
treatment, and since then hi: remedy has
become household word in everv country
where the English language is spoken.
Cures affected by him seven years ago are
cures still, there having been no return of
the disease.
81 highly are these remedies valued, and
so great is the demand fer them, that the
ignorant imitators have started up every
where, pretending to destroy parasite, of
which they know nothing, by remedies the
result Of the application of which they are
equally ignorant. Mr.. Dixon's remedy is
applied once in two weeks, and from one to
to three applications effect a permanent
cure in the most aggravated cases. N. B.
For catarrhal troubles peculiar to females
this remedy is specific.
Mr.. Dixon sends phamplet describing
his new treatment on the the receipt of 1Oc
in stamps. The address is A. H. Dixon &
Son, So3 King Street West, Toronto, Canada.

Niagara Falls Measurement.

The following are the latest stats
tics concerning the cataract: The
outline of the American Falls is
about 1000 feet, and the height
about 165 feet. The descent in the
rapids above the American fall is
about 20 feet to the half mile. The
outline of the Horseshoe fall is about
1900 feet, the height about 15S feet,
and the descent in the rapid above
about S. feet to three-quarters of a
mile. The volume of water passing
over both falls is about $1,000, ooc
cubic feet per minute, or about one
cubic mile per week, or 81 cubic
miles per year.

"A toothpick factory is one of the

at Harbor Springs, Mich, and it is one
of the largest factories of the kind in
the country. White birch is exclusiv
ely used in the manufacture of tooth
picks, and about 100000 of the handy
little splinters are turned out daily"
While the use Of the tooth, pick may
conduce to cleanliness, it is used often
sively and disgustingly with far toe
much frequency. Picking the teeth al

The Fast Mail.

The train, as it leaves New York
is made up Of five cars which are
followed by express and baggage
cars and one passenger coach The
car next to the engine is devoted en-
tirely to letter mail, aud the four fol-
lowing it to papers and packages.
The letter car is fifty feet in length,
while those for newspaper mail are
ten feet longer. The platforms are
enclosed by swinging doors which
afford a protected passage between
the cars. This arrangement no
doubt suggested the modern i'm
provement now known as the vesti-
bule train. The latter car is provid-
ed with a email catcher" which is
placed in a small door through
which mail pouches are snatched
from conveniently placed posts at
way-side stations where stops are not
made. Each car is divided into
three sections, all fitted up alike
with conveniences for the service to
be performed The letter car, how
ever, is somewhat differently arrang-
ed from the others, TO meet the re-
requirements of that particular
branch of the work.
There have been received in this
car before it moves out of the Grand
Central Station between 1000 and
1900 packages of letters and in ad-
dition forty or fifty sacks of Dakota
and Montana papers. To handle
this mass of correspondence there
are six men in addition to the chief
clerk, or superintendent. This off,
cial is not assigned to any particular
duty, but he supcrvlses the general
work and lends aid where it is most
required. The second clerk handles
etters for Ohio, Dakota and Mon
tana; the third clerk takes charge of
those for New York; the fourth, Illi-
nois; the fifth, opens all pouches
labelled, "New York and Chicago
Railway Post-Ohice," distributes
their contents, and afterward works
on Dakota and Montana papers; the
sixth, Michigan State letters, and the
seventh, California letter mail. The
salaries of these men entrusted with
SO much responsibility and of whom
SO much is expected range from 5000
per annum for the lowest grade to
$780, per annum for the superinten-

just called upon them. They made
their way very slowly through the
thick crowd, up the south side of the
hall and clear around it, then back to
the supper-room, in which little
more refreshment was taken, then
back up the stairway again. In all
the President was on the floor just
twenty eight minutes.
Before going to their own apart
ments the President and Vice Presi-
dent stood for few minutes at the
edge of the gallery looking down
upon the scene below. The crowd
surged that way, and every face was
upturned toward these two. After a
short stay there Gen. Harrison and
Mr.. Morton returned to their respec
tive rooms, and the reception con-
tinued, large portion of the notable
people of Washington paying their

party left the building at 1850, and

Prunes are very ancient and were
grown ages ago in the East, Eleven var
ieties were known to ancient Roman
horticulturists, and in the region around
Damascus vigorous wild variety thrived
that was mnch used as stock for graft
ing, and is SO used to this day. France
got the prune from the Crusaders, and
it was first cultivated near Clairac by
inmates of the convent. Some of the
best and most famous prunes are now
grown on the extensive French orchards
