The best medical writers claim
that the successful remedy for nasal ca
tarrh must be nominating, easy of ap.
plication. and one that will by its own
action, reach all the remote sores and ul-
eerated surfaces. The history of the eff
forts to treat catarrh during the past few
years obliges US to admit that only one
remedy has completely met these coadi-
tions, aud that is Ely's Cream Balm. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and
both physicians and patients freely con-
cede this fact. The more distressing
symptoms quickly yield to it.

There are no new developments in the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas negotiations.
Receivers Cross and Eddy are working eau
tiously and keeping their own counsel.
There is q rumor to the effect that Gould's
influence will be used against the consum-
nation of their negotiations with the Kan.

less based upon the alleged claim that
Gould fears the loss of the traffic which
the Missouri Pacific now enjoys from the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, the latter's
business now coming into and going out of
this city over the Gould line. 1t is
claimed that a contract ex-
exists between the receivers and

the Missouri Pacific practically controls
the freight business of the Missouri, Kan

Mime. Melba from Melbourne,
is the newest prima donna to take
captive the critics of London in "a
blue peignoir trimmed with white
lace" She is described by one of
them who saw her in her peignoir
amongst lilacs and roses" as tall,
elegant, expressive of feature and
more than noticeable in the eyes.
Nine. Melba used to blay the organ
in SCOTS Church In Melbourne. She
appeared first in public when she was
sixteen, but she declines to say how
long ago that was. She says she
longed to go on the stage when she
was baby. The fanciful character
of the names of prime donne is shown
by the fact that Mime Melba's father
is Mr.. ID. Mitchell and her husband
is Mr.. Armstrong. She made her
operate debut before Gounod at the
Theatre de la Monnaie. The Prin-
cess of Wales is her friend and she
showed one of her friends a cup.
boardful of Jewels.

Texas Slftings.


Oh, those dear, delightful pirates
of our youthful reading, where have
they disappeared to They monop-
Oiled all the swift-sailing vessels, and
their superior seamanship enabled
them to safely weather storms to
which honest, hard-H orking ships
often succumbel.
We used to wonder where the tim
Der grew from which they constructed
those tall, tapering nasts, for they
could sustain an amount of canvas
that would send any other craft to the
bottom. You never caught a thor.
oughbred pirate taking in sail during
storm-not in our day. Instead of
that he would shake out every
reef there was, from the main yard
to the main royal. 1t is wonderful
how much sail an industrious pirate
could make in trying to overhaul a
prize or get away from dangerous
pursuer.
The pirate of our youth was dressed
in suit trimmed with gold lace, and
his legs were encased in high-top
patent-leather boots, surrounded by
gold tassels. His broad, immalculate
shirt collar, frilled at the edge, rolled
over his jacket, with the significant
skull and crossbones embroidered in
the cornor by the pirates bride, who
awaited his return on that beautiful
isle of the sea which constituted their
home. Then he wore above his raven
locks, that waved so luxuriantly a.
down his Apollo-like shoulders, a
cunning little scarlet cap with tassel
of gold, and broad barbaric scarf
around his waist was receptacle for
his trusty pistols and cimeter of Da-
msscus steel, when he could steal one.
Oh, We'll never see another pirate
like him if we live q thousand years

One of Gov. Hoard's Stories.

Wisconsin's hOmely executive enjoys
wide reputation as a spinner of yarns.
and none does he tell with keener rel
i$h than those st his own expense. Gov.
Hoard possesses in a high degree the
indescribabie knack Of telling stories.
The Governor tells story which, as re-

Ian See, who had a sp sedy team, which,
he claimed, hgd never been passed but
once. One day the Yankee overlook a
funeral procession which had been
brought to Il sudden halt by the giving
out Of one Of the horses which drew the
hearse- The Yankee volunteered the use
Of his horses TO take the place Of the 9th
er team, and in few minutes he found
himself on the hearse, driving slowly his
speedy animals. Just at this juncture a
rival whom he had frequently yinquish-
ed on the race track came speeding bv,
evidently highly exultant at once getting
his old adversary at disad vantage. Hu-
man'nature asserted itself in the Yankee
however, and he let his horses out. Then
an exciting race was begun, only which
ceased on the part Of tn. Yankee when

at a furious rate on horseback and told
him that there w.s funeral procession

Pounded Glass For Poultry.

The war on oyster shells has brought
to light the fact that pouItrymen have
been buying oyster shells when they can
use something much better, and that is
broken glass. The only use Of shells is
to assist in grinding the food in the giz-
zard, but they are too soft, while the
sharp, cutting edges Of the glass are ben
efcial. Don't be afraid of the glass; it
will not injure the birds. for nature has
provided the hens with the power to
utilize the hardest and sharpest Of sub
stances for the purpose Of grinding the
food, and the more broken glass and
pounded crockery you give the hens the
fewer tbs cases of Indigestion and chol-
era will be the result. IL opens up
chance to utilize all the broken Iamp
globes, paues Of glass, cracked plates and
cups, and provides the hens with lust
what they most ardently desire. Round
gravel does not provide grit. As soon as
the gritty material has the sharp. cutting
edges worn of in the gizzard it is avoid
ed. In other worls the bird does not
grind its food in the gizzar,i so much as
il GUS il.

A Canine Friendship.

The following story of friendship be-
tween two dogs may, think, interest
some Of your readers. Some time ago, |
used often to stay with friend Of mine
in Wiltshire, whose park is separated
from the house by lake which is about
$50 yards broad at the narrowest part.
Being extremely fond Of animals, | soon
became intimate with two delightful dogs
belonging to my hostess, large collie
called Jasper, and a rough skye terrier,
Sandie The pair were devoted friends,
if possible always went out together, and
sal to relate, even poached together. One
afternoon l called them as usual 70 90
for walk, and making my way 20 the
lake, determined 70 row across and wan
der about in the deer park. Without
thinking Of my two companions l
sprang into the boat and pushed
of. Jasper at once jumped into
the water, and followed the boat half
way across, he and | were both startled
by despairing howls, and stopping TO
look back, We spw poor little Sandie
running up and down the bank, and Bit
terIy bewailing the cruelty Of his two So
called friends in leaving him behind
Hardening my heart, / sat still in
Ience, and simply watched Jasper was
clearly distressed he swan round the
boat and looking up into my face said un-
misiakably with his wise brown eyes,
why don't you 90 To the rescue" See
ing, however, that showed no sigs of
intelligence, he made up his mind 70 set
tie the difficulty himself, 50 turned and
swan back % forlorn little SAndie the.e

plantations. and then, to my surprise and
amusement, Jasper stood still, half out
and half in the water, and Sanaie scram-
bled on to his back his front paws resting
on Jaspers neck, who swan across the
lake, and landed him safely in the deer
