The Battle of Flowers.


 The prettiest and most graceful feature of the weeks carnival owes it's origin entirely to Nice, says letter from that place, or more exactly to M. Saetone, the general secretary of the committee. It was his idea, which has now been copied in many other towns, and it is doubtless this that has raised the carnival of Nice so immeasurably above that of Rome or Buenos Ayres in responsibility, if in noth- ing else. It was in 1872 that the Nice festiv- ities at Mi-Csreme began to assume an inn portance and an interest beyond that of the lower classes, and since the introduction of the Battle of Flowers this charming function has achieved unique reputation throughout the world. There is no prettier sight to be seen-ladies bedecked in flowers driving along in carriages of which not a square inch is to be seen for their floral decorations, gal- lantly fighting with boqusts, small and large, and only yielding to superior force when the number of missiles cverpower them or satisfy their greed. The largest sum of all is spent here. Some of the carriages are abolutely covered with violets and roses, wheels and all, so that only the outline of the conveyance is visible. Six thousand francs has before now been spent on @ sim gle decoration, while fl, ,O00 is an ordinary price. As about 450 carriages take part in the fray, and each one throws from the large boxes they carry about f.150 worth of flowers, we have total Gncluding the ex- penses of pedestrians and occupants of win dows and balconies) of f.500, ,0e0 in this one item alone.

Gray Hair i'm StvIe Again

Washington Letter to the Philadelphia Times. l
 Gray hair is in again. Perhaps you think that by the laws of nature it never was out. What is nature compared to arta Mrs. Cleveland was so remorselessly young that to be old seemed almost discourtesy. The consequence was that every woman in Wash- ington, however ancient, was apparently youthful as to hair. You cannot imagine, infer, that women dyed their locksl Perish the thought of charge so rude. The pro- per term to employ for this self administered change of hue in hair is to tsoxidize" it. Peroxide of hydrogen is the agent which be- slows upon the locks that bronzy tint so greatly admired. What else it bestows in the way of headache and other discomforts it were too long task to state. Mrs. Harri- son and Mrs. Morton both leave nature una- dorned, and 50 adorned the most. In other words they have the courage of their whiten- ing tresses. Therefore oxidizing the hair will no longer be in vogue. We shall next hear of powder for young and old in the mode of Pompadour

The Author ef Rab and HI. Friends.

lMrS FleldS la the April Scribner'S
 One day in the early summer of 1860 we took the early train from Edinburgh to Nell rose. A heavy shower was falling that ren- dered the prospect for 8 day out of doors rather disappointing; but we were so full of interest in everything around us that we took little heed of the weather. At one of the way stations kindly. breezy man leaped hurriedly into our carriage. nodding to us in a cheerful fashion, and then, almost without pause, he began a friendly talk, catching speedily at the idea of what would chiefly interest us as Americans. ssCan you tell us anything of a man in Edinburgh who has written book called tHore Subsecive?" we asked. "Oh, yes," he replied, Che is my with pleasure" s0u And n p0ts thus uo h,m we found ourselves shortly after at Dr. Browns tea-table with the family, not forgetting his friendly doggie "Dick."
 can we'll recall how rich we felt as we came away after that first visit-rich first of all in his friendship, and again rich in the memory of good things which had fallen from his lips; rich, above all, with that sense of generous nature which gives and gives and still hath all. Even then a great shadow had fallen upon Dr. Brown, and the new thoughts which were awakened by this visit and the little excitement seem to have been helpful to him. He wrote two letters on the following day to his new friends, in the first of which he confesses to have lain awake a good part of the night thinking over many things, but adds, in his own kindly fashion, "we had not been so happy for many day"
 In this same letter he adds something which may be considered dramatic episode indeed for autograph lovers: CT am quite sorry that cannot give you the manuscript of 'Rab.' Only three days ago found it in my desk and threw it into the waste basket, and by this time it is in ashes and up the chinney,"

ST would get tired on the slig htest exer-
tion. In the morning would get up feel
ing more tired and worn out than when I
went to bed. The condition of my head and
throat got worse steadily. I was always
hawking and hemming and raising. At
night especially the mucus would drop back
into my throat and fill up SO that I could
hardly breathe.
'I would have dull pain in my forehead
over the eyes. There would be sense of
weight and oppression on my chest. The
catarrh seemed to be extending all over.
My appetite got poor. Food did not seem
to have the proper taste. I seemed to be
losing the sense of taste and smell. ! would
have a bad taste in my mouth, and spells OF
dizziness and nausea.

FROM A BUSINESS MAN.
A Typical Case and a Notable and Complete
Result.

Typical Case and Notable and Complete
Result.
The following characteristic statement is
given by Mr.. G. G. Brooks. well known
business man. living at No. 36 Magnolia
street:
"I had been troubled with catarrh for 20
years, and suffered with all its disagreeable
symptoms. My nose was stopped, first on
one side and then the other; sometimes both
sides would be entirely closed. Ny throat
was sore. and often so tender I gould
scarcely swallow, and it would constantly
fill up with mucus. seemed to catch cold
without any exposure, and had one sue
cession of colds every winter. Up to four
years ago the trouble seemed to be confined
70 my nose and throat. About that time,
however, noticed that my trouble was ex-
tending.
IT had continual hacking cough which
annoyed me day and night. Icould neither
sleep nor eat with any comfort. Frequently
I would wake up coughing during the
night and my food seemed to do me abso-
lutely no good. I felt nervous and de-
spondent.
"About year ago gave out entirely.
My nose was in very bad condition. My
throat and bronchial tubes would fill up so
that it was almost impossible for me to
breathe. I would have coughing spells
that would leave me covered with a cold
perspiration and so weak I could scarcely
stand. There were sharp pains in my chest
and back, under the shoulder blades that
were almost unbearable.
''I did everything I could for them, and
in fact for my whole trouble, but got no
relief. I had night sweats, and would get
up in the morning thoroughly tired out.
"You will perhaps realize what hold
the disease had on me when you learn that
1 lost 15 pounds in two weeks.
"As last resort I went to the mountains
of Tennessee After remaining there five
months, although 1 felt slightly better,
there seemed to be no hope of my recov-
cry"
while there read in the papers state
ments of patients whose cases were similar
to mine, although not SO severe, who had
been cured by DR.. Blair. They made such
a strong impression on me that decided to
return home and be treated.
81 was told that could not live If 1 did. but
persisted, contrary to the advice of my friends.
"That was my condition and prospects when
went to the Office of DR.. Blair and his asso-
ciates. began to improve IN short time, and
now feel better than have since can remem-
Der. My nose and throat are clear. My throat
is no longer sore. The pains in my chest disap-
peared. The night sweats ceased. am now
able to get good refreshing nights sleep, and
get up feeling rested. IhaVe gained in strength
and weight, and now it does not seem possible
that at one time had given up all hopes Of re-
covery.'
Mr.. Brooks, says the Boston Herald. is well
known in business circles. As stated, he re-
sides at SO Magnolia st., and this interview can
easily be verified.

THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
What an Eastern Authority Says Abou
Hanover's Chance.

What an Eastern Authority Says About
Hanover's Chance.
Referring to Hanover's chance to win the
Brooklyn handicap tomorrow the New York
Herald says:
Unless Hanover wins the Brooklyn handicap
on Wednesday there will be many an empty
purse in this city and in other cities in various
parts of this broad land, and the bookmakers
will have reaped golden harvest. 1t is doubt
full whether in the history of ante-post betting
there has ever been horse which has been SO
universally and unquestionably favorite as
the chestnut son of Hindoo has been for this
event during the last two weeks since The Bard
was declared out by Mr.. Cassatt. Before the
withdrawal of the champion of Chesterbrook it
was an open question in the minds of the public
whether The Bard would repeat his perform
ance of q year ago, and again vanquish the
Dryers representative, or whether Hanover
would turn the tables on his mighty conqueror.
Each had a following of turtles" equally en-
thusiastic, with the betting shade in favor of
The Bard. But with him out it is hard to find
man who is not willing to concede the present
probability of Hanover landing the stakes,
unless 1t is the few who have placed their
money at longer odds on less considered horses.
The latest indications are that the Dwyers will
try to clinch their mortgage on the big handi-
cap by starting Inspector b IN addition to Han
over, and there are those who say that this
other cripple will have more than fighting
chance Of winning. The Inspector has done
some of the best preliminary work that has
been seen at Gravesend this spring.

well-known in Pittsburg as skillfuI artist

Mr.. Fred Bunselmeyer has lived for some
time at 6O22 Broad street, Pittsburg, and it
was here that the writer found him.
ST don't know" said Mr.. Bunselmeyer,
''as my experience would be OF great inter-
est to any outside Of few friends, but such
as it is am entirely willing to give it. 1t
may be of service to others who suffered as
1 did from bronchial and catarrhal trouble.

hardly say when it commenced. I can
hardly remember the time when didn't
have more or less trouble in my throat and
head.
"I thought it was only slight cold at
first, and paid no attention to it. After
time found m throat continually filing
up. Mucus would drop back into it. 1t
would get sore and raw, and would have
to be continually hemming and hawking to
clear it.
