CATARRH.


Being enabled to send remedials into each
minute cavity or crevice of the nasal passage
and head, destructive to the bacilli or germ
upon which catarrh in all its forms depends
we have the means to effect a complete and
permanent cure of this loathsome complaint,
even in cases heretofore given up as incura
BILE.
From the very start the good effect of this
new treatment is felt nasal distractions are
removed, hawking, coughing, hoarseness and
droppngs in the throat promptly abate, and
the breath becomes pure. DEAFNESS from
catarrhal causes is promptly removed; the
eyes become strong, ,all other symptoms dis
appear and finally perfect and permanent
cure is effected

The Deacon Forgot Himself.

The electric wires on the Wellman o.
born block, at Lynn, Mass, got crossed
last week. and turned the pile of buildings
into complicated electromagnetic, creating
some profanity and no small amount OF
fun. One tenant who tried to help himself
to glass Of water, got anchored to
the faucet and the yells of this
electrified individual electrified the
rescuers who came to release him
from his shocking position. Another
made an attempt to turn on the gas, but
the electricity. as is always the case, came
away ahead of its rival and caused the poor
man to break his nose and small piece OF
the Decalogue, for his hearers aver they
heard him swear streak OF blue lightning.
although he (being deacon) stoutly main-
tains that he only said: go dam the cur
rent; it's leaking" and that his words were
addressed to lineman in the audience.

1t will be noticed that the greatest gain
has been in King county, and the next
greatest in Pierce. In these two counties
are about one-fourth the whole number of
United States pensioners IN the state. In
the location of Soldiers Home this fact
may well be borne in mind.
Pensions range in amout from $12 a year
20 IS 900, the latter amount being paid to
widows of the presidents, of whom there
are at present four. There is one pension
of $500, four fS2, 900 each, and thirty-four
of 81 200. The greatest majority get 81, Sc.
81, SO and Sl2 month, though upwards
of 5000 persons get from $l6 to S72 a
month each. The average annual value of
last years pensions was $131.lS, against
$114.25 the year before. 1t is expected that
the average value during the current wear
will approximate $l4
In the state of Washington are about
400 old soldiers. The pensioning of the
entire number at the average rate would
cause the distribution among them of $780,
600 per annum.

WHY MoANs THE SEA TONIGHT

The moon shines or the headland-
The ripples softly play,
And solitude rejoices
About the lonely bay.
The waves pile up their masses
Each crowned with sparklings bright
But a sadness seems to hover
Why means the sea tonight?
Where Neptune vi Does the mermaid
With loves resistiess power
Where syrens sing their stanzas,
And charm the midnight hour
Where cliffs, so cold and strong,
Throw off glisteuing light
The sea is rough and moody
Why does il moan tonight?
The vast and countless treasures
Enclosed within its breast
The wondrous hidden secrets
That can never be confessed
The anguish OF its hsrshness
That causes bitter blight
The passions, pent but swelling
For these II means tonight

Mr.. Gladstone is growing old, but he is

of the untamed and untamable forces of
nature died only when he ceased to
breathe. Bancroft is beginning to grow
old, at little over 80. but he rides his horse
every day. Ben Butler is growing old, at
something over 20. but he sails his fast
yacht, the America, all the same. The glad
heavens and the great earth never grow old

This is the place; the mountain bay

As WHEN the lion held the way
That barred his motherland.
Long years and change and earthquake shock
Have wrought upon the scene,
Where once the sea waves Tapped the rock
Are meadow lands grown green:
But Oeta still looms vast and gray
To hide the setting sun,
And still the mountains bar the way.
And every way but one;
The sulphur springs still fume and 6cw
Along the rough hillside.
And far-off Othrys, yelled in snow,
Sees where the Spartan died.
There is a spirit haunts the place
Where mighty deeds were dared,
Though time and change have left no trace
And not grave be spared:
And climbing up the grassy hill
Where Spartas lion stood,
The heart still answers to the thrill
That marks the hero mood.

couple. Some practical joker had printed
large number of labels about six inches

on the trunks, handbags, etc., of the happy
pair. The joke was not discovered till the
party was ready to start on their wedding

Buying Girls for Mission Schools.

Bishop TAYLOR says that in Africa the
only way he can get girls for his mission
schools is TO buy them. They are generally
quoted at from $50 to 500 apiece At that
rate there is no reason to despair of mis-
sionary success in Africa. Any church
could raise $50 on Sunday if the congre.
cation were informed that il would buy a
girl. 1t would not take very rich mis-
sionary society to secure a stock sufficient
to constitute an Ethiopian Mills Sem.
