CATARRH.
Catarrh Deafness-Hay Fever-A New Home
Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that these dis
eases are contagious, or that they are due to the
presence Of living parasites in the lining membrane
Of the nose and eustachirn tubes. Microscopic re-
search. however. has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple remedy
has been formulated whereby catarrh. catarrhal
deafness and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications made at
home by the patient once in two weeks.
n. B.-This treatment Is not a snuff or an oint-
ment; both have been discarded by reputable ply
sicans as injurious. A pamphlet explaining this

Vital Wicks,

that owe their inception to torpid liver and con
sequent impure blood. When the symptoms Of

Ayers
Hair VigOr

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. I am ready to certify to this
statement before justice of the peace
II. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
'Some years ago, after a severe attack OF
brain fever, my hair all came out. 1 used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce
growth of hair. 1 then tried. successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought
growth of hair in few weeks. 1 think 1
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but liked it
as dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. 1 believe Ayers Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"

Love Among the Glover.
Over and over the purple clover,
Under the greenwood tree,
Sweet Bessie came straying, for wildflowers
Maying,
And sang in her maiden glee:
20 hey, o, no
There's a daddy know
Who joys my face to see,
Fair blossom pray, now what shall say
When jamie comes wooing o. me,
Dear heart,
When Jamie comes wOoing o. me? ''
Over and under the boughs asunder.
Through the wood came Jamie ere long;
In the olden fashion, he carolled his passion,
And the hawthorn swayed to his song:
"Oh hey, o no!
The way know.
She dropped me this flower to tell;
But what she will say this bloss0my day
Would that knew 1t as WE'LL"
Dear heart,
> Would that knew it as well"
Over and over the fragrant clover,
The bees went hummng till late,
And where is the daddy, and what luck had he
A wooing his blithesome mate
Oh hey, o no!
They walk so slow,
Brown Jamie and blushing Bess
But what did he say in the wood to-day?
l think will leave you to guess.
Dear heart,
think I will leave you to guess.

A Valuable Mite.

The following letter received yester-
day by Mr.. Henry Shelley explains it
self:
WACO, Tex, January 13, 1900.
Mr.. Henry E. Shelley President Confeder-
ate Home:
Dear Sir: 1 enclose you check
for ST which has history. You have
heard of the death of that grand old
man Gen. J. B. Robertson. On De-
cember -, the day Jefferson Davis
was buried, Gen. Robertson sent me a
dollar, saying should send it to the
Confederate Home. I sent him word
that as it was a small sum l would
hold it awhile, hoping to increase it by
other contributions and make
a larger remittance. No 9th
er moneys have come in
however, and wish to get this into
your handsIwithout further delay. 1t
was the last contribution of our
venerable friend to the Home and has
a value on that account far beyond its
intrinsic value. Gen. Robertson had
the welfare of the Confederate Home
at heart and aspired to see it placed
on a proper footing. Let us hope that
this little mite may be constituent
part of fund that will grow to pro-
portions worthy of Texas and the
MANNED and INDECENT survivors OF
the "Lost Cause"
If there is any way, at any time, in
which "The Day" can serve the good
cause of building up the Home 1 hope
you will command us.
Yours truly,
A. r. MCCoLLUM,
Manager "Day."

yellow mari, which when wet does
not become tenacious like clay, but
packs and hardens into splen d
road material. This fact can be illus
trated by driving over any of the
roads of'the Grand Prairie region and
noting the short stretches of superb
natural road which is always found
when these marls constitute the sur
face. This is well shown on Mount
Bonnell, between the mansion on its
slope and its summit. In most local
tiles these marls would be considered
invaluable for building drive ways,
speed tracks, and surfacing macada-
mixed roads. Upon study of its
texture these marls are found to be
what is termed "oolittic" by the geol-
ogists, and are composed of lime, silica
and magnesia in minute egg-like
grains. They can be mined very
cheaply, and would be especially vail
date vicinity of their occurrence.
Flints-Accompanying a certain
horizon of the above limestone are
vast deposits of flint which would be
valuable for road construction and i'm
provement under some circumstances,
although there is not much need for
them in Texas at present. These
fiints occur upon the remnantal flat
topped divides of the Grand Pairie
west of Austin as a residuum of the
decomposing chalk, and are the source
OF the flints in the plateau gravel
above mentioned.
NEED OF ROAD EDUCATION.
1t will be seen that there is not a
dearth of road-making material that
preventsius from having good roads
on the Black prairie region of Texas,
but rather engineering skill and the
lack OF good road laws. He says the
chief obstacle to building roads is the
difficulty OF finding men with the
necessary technical education for con-
structing them, and until our road
masters are educated in road building
we need not expect the best highways.
He winds up his article as follows:
Something, however, may be done
through education in the public
schools and by means of the press, to
hasten the coming of better system.
OF ways. There is in this country a
set of colleges which are resorted to
by students who in their maturer
years are to have share in rural al
fairs. Thirty or more of our states
received the foundations for agricul-
tural and mechanical colleges from
the Federal government. Each OF
these schools should have q good
course of teaching in the matter OF
roadways. Some of them already
nominally pay certain amount
of attention to the matter, but the in
struction is generally of an imperfect
sort. There are no good text books
treating of the subject, and the in
structors are commonly without much
experience in the matter. 1t seems to
me that public ways in general (the
conveyance problem of our modern So
ciety) lie at the root of all economic
development, and are closely connect
ed with social development. They are
essential features in the physiology o.
our commonwealth, and as such
should have large place in any IN
: struction which concerns the man
agement of public affairs"
