FAIRLY COMFORTABLE.

Ohio State Journal.
In all respects this is great country.
Notwithstanding real and supposed
shrinkages in values in real estate and
otherwise, the census statistics of 1890
will disclose the fact that ours is the
wealthiest nation on the globe, and that
wealth is more widely distributed here
than in any other nation now existing
or that has ever existed.
Statistics have been arrayed. which
show that exclusive of tourists and
travellers in foreign lands) the American
people annually expend in excursions
by land and water. in "outings" and
attending reunions, anniversaries, pic
hicks, society meetings and the like no
less than 81 $50, ,O00,0 0,000-some hundreds
of millions more than our national debt
and fully equal to the amount ex-
pended for like purposes by the $40, ,000,-
900 of our race inhabiting the continent
and islands of Europe.
And this expenditure is not confined
to the rich, the idle and the gay, People
of all classes and occupations farmers,
traders, merchants, professional men,
school teachers, clerks, statesmen and
wage workers = participate in these
pleasures and relations, and, as a rule,
are benefited by so doing. The money
so expended is neither lost nor thrown
away.
Can these things be accounted for ON
the assumption that Americans are more
inclined to dissipation, pleasure and
idleness than the people of Europe en-
gagged in like occupations? Not at all.
Americans (thanks to the wise policy of
our government in fostering home in
dustry) have the money sufficient to
enable them to eujoy innocent and
health giving pleasures, while Europe
ans, especially those who work for
wages, have not. That fact accounts
for the whole thing.

NOT A RUNNING VINE.

Pittsburgh Dispatch
For long distance running from a
battle field Rosser's famous cavalry
charge away from the battle of Cedar
Creek is without parallel in histo-
ry. Rosser had organized his brigade
and called it the "Laurel Brigade" !"
Each man went into the battle with a
sprig of laurel in his hat When they
came out they didn't care whether they
ever saw piece of laurel again. All
they wanted was to get as far away from
that field as possible, and most of them
did. Some of them ran for three days,
and it took Rosser two weeks to collect
his brigade. When he reported to Gen.
Early for orders, old Jubal looked at
him minute and then said:
"ROsser, you ought to change the
name of your brigade. The laurel is not
running vine."

PRICES OF OLD BATTLE FIELDS.

Chattanooga Times.
When real estate sells on the noun
tain top at rate of more than 5000
an acre, it demonstrates that there has
been no falling off in values in this
vicinity. The late sale in fact proves
that prices of suburban lots have ad-
vanced considerably within the year.
On Missionary Ridge the prices for
"brow sites" have bounded forward in
the last twelve months remarkably.
Quotations now range from SIS to $40
per front foot for lots fronting on the
brow road and having a depth of two
hundred or three hundred feet ON the
top. This is rate of $4,000 to 5000
an acre. The same land could readily
be bought of it was bought-as
late as 1888, for $3.50 to $1,000 an acre.
One choice spot that cost about the first
mentioned price in 1887, is bid on at
about 5000. Another fine site Of
about two and a half acres is held at
$4,000, and the holder, according to in
dications, won't hold long.
Meantime, property appreciates all
about and in the city, but in solid and
healthy way. We know of no holder
who wants to sell at what he gave, not
one.

THE ART OF SWEEPING.

Harper's Young People.
In sweeping, take long light strokes,
and do not use too heavy broom.
"Alice," said Lois, "do you honestly
think sweeping is harder exercise than
playing tennis?"
l hesitated. 81 really don't know.
One never thinks of hard or easy in
tennis, the game is so interesting; and
then it's outdoor exercise, and there's
no danger of inhaling dust"
"WelI, for my part" said Marjorie, 81
like doing work that tells. There is so
much satisfaction in seeing the figures
in the carpet come out brightly under
my brooml Alice, what did you do to
make your reception room so perfectly
splendiferous? Girls, look herel You'd
think this carpet had just come out of
the warehouse"
"Mother often tells Aunt Hetty," said
l, "to dip the end of the broom in pail
of water in which she las poured
little ammonia teaspoonful to a
gallon. The ammonia takes off the
dust, and refreshes the colors wonder
fully. We couldn't keep house without
it," 1 finished, rather proudly.
"Did you bring some from homer"
asked Marjorie, looking hurt.
"Why, of course nOtl asked your
mother, and she gave me the bottle, and
told me to take what wanted"
"a little coarse salt or some damp tea
leaves strewed over carpet before
sweeping adds ease to the cleansing
process" said Mrs. Downing, appearing
on the scene and praising US for our
thoroughness. 1.-THE reason is that both
the salt and tea leaves being moist keep
down the light floating dust, which gives
more trouble than the heavier dirt.
But now you will all be better for a
short rest; so come into my little snug
gerry, and have gossip and a lunch, and
then you may attack the enemy again"

GATARRH.

Catarrh is often regarded by the patient as
a cold in the head, and he often expresses his
contract fresh cold. Indeed he declares that
he is scarcely free from one cold before he
takes another, and he is always exceedingly

head and throat.
At times many of the symptoms of catarrh
seem to abate, and the patient is led to hope
that the disease is about to wear off; but an
other class of symptoms soon appear and he
learns to his horror that instead of recovery
from the disease, ii is somewhat changed in its
character and has extended to the throat.
sense of WEAKNESS is sometimes felt in
reading, speaking or singing; hoarseness at
times occurs, sensation of dryness is felt in
the throat, or it appears that some foreign
substance, as, for instance, a hair, Obstructed
the throat; there becomes sense of languor
and fatigue; the breath lessons on little
exertion, short, hacking cough, peculiar
sound in clearing the throat, feeling as
though there was not room enough in the
chest to breathe; these and other symptoms
occur after the disease has made considerable
progress. Then it is a time when consumption
is about to begin its dreadful work. Up
to this time the 2progress of the disease may
have been slow and the patient may, in
expressing his confident hope that it will
wear eff" declare that he has had the catarrh
for years and has not seemed to become much
worse, and trusts that he will "by and by"
recover But this delusion is the grand error
which has peopled our cemeteries with con,
sumptive forms, as all forms of catarrh end
finally in consumption.
Consultation and one application at the
Office FREE.
Those who desire to consult me in regard
to their cases had better call at the Office for
examination but if impossible to visit the Office
