There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable For great many
years Doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it iucurable. Science has pro-
ven catarrh to be constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to

The AIlursment. Of omoe.

It has been said to be serious question
whether a man who leaves a good business
or even one which has any decent promise Of
becoming good-to enter the public service
in nation, state or city is to be envied. To
our mind there is no question at all about it.
There is the seduction, sometimes, Of a con-
siderable salary attending such an appoint
ment, but it is the snare of the fowler It
implies in the end a dependence upon money
which is not earned under conditions that in

Agreeable Manners and Success.
London Truth.


Lord Palmerston once said to
friend of mine, who, as q young fell
low, was patronized by that states
man: "Never forget that a much
neglected road to success is agreeable
manners. The man or woman with
agreeable manners will make Roadway
in the face of the worst difficulties.
Every one Ia against the disagreeable
people, whose best chance lies in
secluding themselves as much as they
can" Emperor William might pom
der with advantage on these words of
Pam. Not having secluded himself,
but gone to Vienna and Rome, the
allies of his grandfather there would
gladly slip from their alliance with
him. The old emperor and the
Emperor Frederick bore their great
positions with simplicity and sweet
ness. William ii. hears with impa-
thence all opinions that do not march
with his own, and is arrogant in put
ting them down. lie has made the
Emperor Franz Joseph bristle up.
The Italians were unfavorably i'm
pressed by him. From whom did he
take his manners? His father was
such q nice, good fellow, and so
knightlyl The old grandfather was
courtesy itself. The empress Freder-
lex is not insolent or naughty, neither
is Augusta, who attaches but small
importance TO her imperial rank, and
whose ideal of life is intellectual and
ladylike Bohemianism. My theory to
explain the bad conduct of William
III. is that he has too much Saxe-Co.
burg blood in his veins. The queens
manners, when she is in good humor,
are pleasant. But when she is not
well, l don't venture to say how she
struck me on a public occasion on
which saw her in sullen mood.

have ever liked the prince consort,

The duke of Edinburgh and his uncle
