Of confidence in 1.-THE manu-
facturers of DR.. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. It's a faith
that means business, too-it's
backed up by money. This
is what they offer: $500 re-
ward for a case of Catarrh
which they cannot cure. They
mean it. They're willing to
take the risk they know their
medicine. By its mild, sooth-
ing, cleansing and healing
properties, it produces per-
feet and permanent cures of
the worst cases of chronic Ca
tarrh in the Head. It's doing
it every day, where everything
else has failed. No matter
how bad your case, or of how
long standing, you can be
cured. You're sure of that
or of $500. You can't have
both, but you'll have one or
the other.

THE HARMLESS ALLIGATOR.

An Animal That Attends strictly to ffIs
business OF Eating and Drinking.
This animal Isl saurian, and fiourishes
in the water near orange groves. 1t is
considerably larger in length than it is
the other way, and travels on land and
in the water by means of four short legs
conveniently placed on the under part of
its body. 1t is all tail from its rear legs
rearward, and all mouth from its fore
legs forward; the rest of tfe animal
simply serves to hold it's head and tail
together. The head and tail of the
alligator are the best parts of him to let
alone. Its head is constructed with q
view to barely cover the largo mouth
that goes with it, and is considerably
distorted when the mouth is open. The
alligator's month is harmless when it is
open; it is when it shuts that the danger
occurs, and safety lies in being some
where else when that happens. The tail
of the beast is capable of horizontal
agitation only. and it is highly danger
GUS to be within its reach when it is
agitated.
Aside frossi its usefulness as check
on the increase Of the colored popuIa-
ton In the South, the alligator Is useful
in furnishing leather for alligator shoes
and travelling bags and sport for North
ern tourists, though the tourist does not
always have all the sport; the alligator
has his inning once in while, and when
1t does there is trunk and pair OF
boots sent North without a tourist.
The alligator is quiet, orderly an
lmal that tends strictly to its business
Of eating and sleeping. 1t would be |
good substitute for pug dog as ladies'
boudoir pet.-E- R. Collins, in Texas

DIAMONDS THE RAGE.


How and When to Wear the Glitterins

The tendency OF fashion seems setting
more strongly than ever toward the
classical revival, and as one result
jewels arc beginning to be worn in
masses, as in the days of the splendors
OF the empire, when, to please the gro
tesque taste of Josephine, women wore
gold chains twining six and seven times
round the neck, ear rings with three
pendants, three or four bracelets on
each arm, rings on every finger, long
gold pins and lockets covered with dia-
monds. Jewellers are entering, as might
be expected. heartily into the revival.

A Necessary Adjunct to the Family Larde

A Necessary Adjunct to the Family Larder
and Medicine Chest.
Eggs are such necessary adjuncts to
the family larder, that the good house,
keeper is seldom, If ever, without them.
There are so many dishes that can be
made of which eggs form an important
part, that to be without an egg in the
house is the next thing to being without
flour. Therefore the housewife, recog-
MIXING their worth, keeps good supply Of
these articles when she possibly can.
As the price of eggs varies with the
different seasons, it is the best and most
economical plan to purchase them while
cheap and pack them away for use in
their scarce season.
1t is very important that eggs packed
away shall be fresh when put away, else
all the labor spent in packing will be Of
little use. There are many ways Of test
ing fresh egg, but the easiest is 70 hold
the egg up to the light, and If on look
ing through it, 1t Is clear in the center
it is safe to pack away, but ii the clear
ness is at the ends, it Is not fresh and
should not be put away.

HALPlNE ToRPgpo BOAT.


A Successful Application of Electricity IN
Naval Warfare.
The rapid advance made by electricity
N warfare is evidenced by q novel tor
pedo-boat recently given public trial
in the waters of New York Bay. The
Halpine torpedo-boat is of copper, cigar
like in form, having a total length Of
twenty-three feet, with diameter of
twenty-four inches, and carries she'll
four feet long, ten inches in diameter,
and capable of holding one hundred
pounds of explosives. This torpedo-boat
is the first one of the kind which carries
within itself its own power, the electric
force being derived from q storage bat
terry within the boat. The torpedo-boat
also carries its own shell, which can be
made TO leave the apparatus at the will
OF the operator on the shore, or 1t is dis
charged automatically when an impede
ment Is encountered, or the netting now
used by war vessels to guard against the
approach of torpedoes. A short spar
with javelin head protrudes from the
bow Of the torpedo-boat, and when this
becomes entangled in the netting Of .
man-of-war, two pieces OF steel, like
those Of alilly-iron on a harpoon, open
and help to hold the entangled spar and
draw 1t ont, which gives dip to the
torpedo-boat and fires the charge which
drives out the loaded she'll. The tor
pedo-shell then takes downward d.

Wisconsin Farmers Protected.

Dealers in Canadian barley in New
York are just now pretty badly fright
ened because the Mckinley bill pur-
poses to protect the market of the
farmers of this country byIincreasing
the duty from ten to thirty cents per
bushel President Mohr, of the New
York Chamber of Commerce, says that
All increased duty meant great in
crease in the output of Wisconsin bar
ley. Oswego malsters say that with the
increased duty their business will be
practically ruined and that the mailing
will nearly all be done in Wisconsin.
The Ways and Means committee has
determined to adhere to the provision
to increase the duty and give the farm
er the same protection that the brew
ers have Bruno E. Fink, secretary
and treasurer of the Asmuth Malt and
Grain company, says that 1900, 600
bushels of barley, about one-fifth of the
crop of the United States, was imported
last year, and that if the bill is concur
red in, barley will take jump next
fall. He is in favor of the bill, as are,
no doubt, all other malsters.
