of confidence in 1.-THE manu-
facturers of DIR. 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.

"Park" Not a Good Name.

1t is perhaps a misfortune that all lands
set apart for public use should be desig-
mated by the name of park" word
which suggests to most people some at
tempt at gardening or decoration. This
proposed reservation will be primarily a
forest and it should be so designated Ger
tainly it should not be called by name
which has come to be adopted as common
title for fair grounds, race tracks, play
grounds, city squares, groups of adjacent
private residences, and many other things
equally incongruous. 1t is plain that any
attempt to dress out Sequoia forest with
ornamental planting or floral finery would
be ridiculous.
What is needed in such apIace is the pres
ervation forever of the essential natural
features of the scenery. The motto of the
association whose work brought about the
law for the Niagara reservation was ''to
preserve the scenery of Niagara" This, in
broad sense, should be the aim in admin
istering the Yosemite, the Yellowstone and
the Tulare forest. No other justification
for taking possession of these places in the
name of the people is needed than an honest
effort to preserve, as we have inherited
them, these treasures of beauty and sub
Unity, of majesty and mystery, of grandeur
and grace, and to transmit them unim-
paired to ourposterity and Forest.

j. j. Aston Sd is not student or lover

but, on the contrary, prefers outdoor
amusements, dancing. and social gayeties
He is a graduate of Harvard, and came
through that great institution of learning
like hundreds of other meg, by the skin OF
his teeth. His enemies say that it was his
name and not his brains that got him
through. At any rate he got through all
right, and it may be because he is able to
cut such wide swath in social affairs that
the other young men about town do not
like him. Like all the jeunesse doree, he
is a member of half dozen clubs; but he
is not a club man in any sense, sensibly
preferring his own luxuriant home. He
has not many friends among men. He is
a shining light in society, and is always
sure to be invited to every affair that is
going on. He spends good portion of the
summer at Newport, and goes to Europe
three or four times a year.-Cor. Philadel-
