with strong drink. IL has turned the earth
into a place of skulls, and has stood opening
the gate to 9 lost world to let in its vitims,
until NOW the door swings no more upon it's
hinges but day and night stands wide open
to let in the agonized procession OF doomsd
men.
Do address one whose regular work in
life il to administer to this appetites For
Gods sake get out OF that businessl Il a woe
be pronounced upon the man who gives his
neighbor drink, how man woes must be
hanging over the man who does this every
day and every hour of the day?
Do not think that because human govern

licenses you. / am surprised to hear You

..griddlings the Beggar's Fad.

Sunday begging appears to be grow
ing popular and fourishing IN Lambeth,
aLondon suburb. Two sturdy fellows,
spinks and Wilkins By name, who were
brought before Mr.. Biron, belong to a
gang of beggars who have introduced .
ittls novelty into their professional call
ing by singing or shouting hymns in the
streets ON Sundays. To this system the
name Of .tgriddling" has been applied,
and, according to the evidence, it q Q
paying line. The defendants had col
iected some pennies from passers-by IN .
very short time, and the "griddlers," it
was stated, were known to boast, as they
returned to their haunts in Deptford and
Southwark, show much they could make
in a few hours, and how they had gulled
the benevolent. "-Neas York journal.

Too long
deluded - the unhappy victim of
catarrh in the head. He's been
told that it can't be cured. Don't
YOU believe it. It can be, and it
is-no matter how bad or of how
long standing. 1t has been done
for thousands by DIR. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. Other 0 called
remedies may paHiase for a time;
this cures for all time. By its mild.
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, it conquers the worst
cases. Its makers offer, in good
faith, a reward of $500 for a case
of catarrh which they cannot cure
They are able to pay it. Are you
able to take it?
The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing IN ears.
deafness offensive breath smell
and taste impaired, and general
debility. Only a few OF these
symptoms likely to be present at
once. Thousands of cases terml-
nate in Consumption and end in the
grave, without ever having mani
tested all these symptoms. DR..
Sage's Remedy cures the worst
cases. SO cents, by druggists.

Nnsa Niagara Ran DRY.

Il seems almost incredible, says a writer
m Golden Dogs, that at one time in
,ts history the greatest and most wonder
full waterfall in the world actually ran
dry. Nevertheless it is an established
fact that this occurred on March %,
l348, and for a few hours scarcely any
water passed over Niagara Falls. TO
thoroughly appreciate this astonishing
phenomenon It should be remembered
chat the estimated average amount OF
water passing over these falls is 502, 500
tons per minute. The winter of that year
had been an exceptionally severe one.
and ice of an unusual thickness had
formed on Lake Ere. The warm spring
rains loosened this CONCEALED mass, and
on the day in question a brisk east wind
drove the ice far up into the lake. About
sunset the wind suddenly veered around
and blew q heavy gale from the west.
This naturally turned the ice in its
course, and bringing 1t down to the
mouth of the Niagara River, piled it up
in q solid, impenetrable wall. So closely
was it packed and so great was its force
that in a short time the outlet to the lake
was completely choked up, and little OF
| no water could possibly escape. In . very
short space Of time the water below this
frozen barrier passed over the falls, and
the next morning the people residing In
the neighborhood were treated to a most
extraordinary spectacle. The roaring,
tumbling rapids above the falls were al
most obliterated, and nothing but the
cold black rocks were visible in all direc-
tions. The news quickly spread, and
crowds Of spectators locked to view the
scene, the banks Oh each side of the river
being lined with people during the whole
day. At last there came q break in the
ice; il was released from it's restraint, the
wall Of pent-up waters rushed forward,
and Niagara was itself again.
