Home Treatment.
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
eussachian 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 ore to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.

AN INDIANS TALK.
The Ute Theory of the Sun and the Moon
and Their Progeny.

rhe Ute Theory of the Sun and the Moon
and Their Progeny.
During the year the last comet was
streaming in the sky was camping one
night in a canyon near the foot of
Cooks peak, N. M. In the party was
an old and for an Indiana fairly in
telligent Ute named Sam. Sam had
been attached to some cavalry troop at
Fort Cummings as scout, but his day
of leaving the service being reached he
attached himself to me-for considera-
ton. Pointing to the comet l asked
Sam what he could say in its defense
from the standpoint of Ute. Sam
was, unlike most Indians, a good single
handed talkcr and could speak English
very we'll. He was ambitious to per-
feet himself in the language and readily
seized on every chance for a talk. :"
Indeed, l discovered him on one or two
occasions all alone and talking vigor-
ously at mark like savage Demos

TELL about that?' said Sam pointing
toward the comet, Sam do it heap easy,
YOU bet. The sun is the man and he
have moon for squaw. The stars-big
stars and little stars-all are their chill
dren. The sun don't like 'em and chases
'em. IT he catch one he eats it. This
makes the stars heap 'fraid and when
the sun has his sleep over and comes
out, the stars run and hide. When the
sun comes stars 60; creep into holes and
hide. But the moon is good. She loves
her children, the stars, and when the
sun sleeps she comes out in the sky and
the stars are glad and they come out OF
the places they hide in and forget to be
'fraid, and play. But when the sun
wakes again they run. He is always
after them and he catches them some
time. This one," continued Sam again
pointing at the comet, 1.-THE sun catch

sun bit him and hurt him. That's why
he bled SO. Now he's heap scared and

and stock in trade, in another part OF
town, with the same stock and the same
amount of work on his part he can make
$500. The reason for that is that moro
people pass his store in one part OF town
than the other. He makes $500 more
with the same outlay in one place than
he does in another That $500 is made
by the people who pass up and down and
by the fact that on that account his trade
is better, and he could not make such an
opportunity himself to save his isfe.
Others have and do make that value,
and that is the value that should go to
the people who make it in the shape OF
taxes. If a, man makes more, money be-
cause He works harder one year than he
did the year before, or because he puts
the money he has saved into his business
and thereby increases his capital then
that money is his because he made it.
But if he does save his money from year
to year to build house with 1t, then the
tax collector takes away from him part
81 what he has saved by his individual
work, but if by reason OF the, fact that
the city has grown around him he can
make more money each year then he is
allowed to pocket that which should go

POSTING IN PERSIA.

Horses That Have VIM of Their Own
and Have to He HUNDRED.
The distances between the post sta.
tions differ greatly. Sometimes they
are under fifteen, and occasionally over
thirty miles On stage Of moderate
length the horses are supposed to do
eight miles an hour, and they will east
ly do that or more if they are in fair
condition and have good rest before
starting, but even under these condi.
lions they have will of their own and
have to be humored. On leaving the
station. however impatient you may be.
don't attempt to 60 off immediately on
gallop, If you do your animal will
resist, and will probably get sulky
or obstreperous. Go for a few hum
dred yards at slow walk, then in
crease the pace to a jog-trot, and when
. you have been we'll shaken for five
or ten minutes, get him into an amble
and keep him at it. The amble may
not seem very fast, but it will take you
over your eight miles an hour comforts
ably, and it has the advantage Of being
not at all fatiguing-a consideration
not to be despised it you mean to cover
quickly long distance. do not know
what the record in this respect is, but I
have myself repeatedly done over a
hundred miles in the twenty-four hours.
The system / followed was to ride on
SO long as could get horses and to rest
when waiting for them. In this way
one is pretty sure to get at least six or
seven hours for sleep out of the twenty
four. Once, however. it happened to
me that there were fewer delays than
usual, and l went on continuously for
over thirty hours with no halts beyond
those required for changing horses. OF
course, this system can only be adopted
by one who is pretty tough, and who
possesses the faculty of being able inn
mediately to go to sleep anywhere and
at any hour of the night or day.
The horses are supposed, as I have
said, to go about eight miles an hour,
but there are great variations from this
average. When the poor animals are
in bad condition or tired, they can
hardly be induced to 60 beyond walk
or jog -trot, and they sometimes abso-
lutely break down, in which case fresh
ones have to be procured from the next
station. On the other hand, they will
sometimes go at good hard gallop the
whole way, with only one or two halts
of few minutes to let them recover
breath. 1t is in these circumstances
that one thoroughly enjoys this kind OF
travelling, and the excitement OF it is
increased by the probability Of fall,
for even the good horses are not always
sure-footed, and in long journey one
must always expect few choppers. ~

The Shah of Persia won't stand any
foolishness on the part of his sons-in-

can't consume his wines and cigars and
use his horses without compensation.
He only marrics daughter to a very
rich man, and as soon as the ceremony
is over he immediately confscates his
property. That is the kind OF man the
Shah is. Then they have to go to work

From this time on Baby Dixon and
