), sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane Of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result Of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.

Cherry Trees for Shade.

It has been repeatedly urged that
fruit trees should be set out on various
parts of the farm, but this plan has not
been followed for various reasons Many
people who plant trees for shade for
stock plant those which bear no fruit,
although they make excellent shade.
We think it would be much better to
combine the two good qualities and sc
benefit both man and beast.
Some varieties of cherry trees are
hardy, grow to good size and bear excel
lent fruit. This fruit does not fall of,
will not injure stock, and is generally
marketable. The trees grow fast and
generally live to a good age. They
afford excellent shelter from the SUN.

Jogging His Memory.

4 clergyman in Iowa relates the fol-
lowing aneclote, which, as he says, ought
to be a hint 10 all couples who are going
to be married. A lady called upon him
and announced her name as Mrs. NJ,
a widow, living in distant part Of the
State. Her husband had been killed in
the civil war, and she had applied for a
pension But it was necessary for her to
prove her marriage. This she had not
been able to do, as her marriage certifi-
cate was lost, and al the witnesses except
the minister himself were dead
She had come long distance to ret
the ministers evidence, insisting upon it
that he was the person who had per-
formed the ceremony.
"But I do not remember anything
about it, madam, said the minister, after
listening clrefully to the woman's story.
Il have married hundreds Of people in
the last twenty years, and l can not re-
member your case at all"
"Why, you must remember that even
ing. wore a travelling suit, and my
husband was a tall man with black
Whiskers"
Il have married great many tall men
with black whiskers."
But don't you remember, we came in
while you were at supper, and you asked
US 10 wait in the parlor a few minutes?"
Il don't remember it.
Don't you recall how nay husband
was very much embarrassed, and during
the ceremony knocked a vase off the ta-
BILE near which We were standing2 And
tiien he apologized right in the middle
ofthe service, and We all laughed about
il aiterward"
u don't remember even that Other
things like ], have happened since Can't
yon name something else ,"
Other little things were mentioned,
and the clergyman hunted up all his old
letters and journals in hopes Of discover
ing something that would recall the cere-
mony, and enable him truthfully to iden-
tifv the widow But all in vain.
Finally. the lady, with some hesitation
and confusion, said There is one
thing that am sure you can not have
forgotten. Ny husband had driven over
from the next town. In his absent
mindedness he had left every cent Of
money at home.
Vow, don't you remember that after
the ceremony he came up to you as if TO
hand you the regular fee, and then, in
stead Of doing that, ne stammered and
Flushed, and finally asked you to lend
min five dollars with which to pay his
hotel bill, promising to return the mon
ey the next day. Surely you must re-
member that p
All, yes, indeed, l remember that

he could not help adding. q haven't

ly afterward and not long after that the
minister received a ten-dollar bill, with
