CATARRH.

Home Treatment.

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose ami
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact and
the result Of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
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 snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on

PASSPORTS IN RUSSIA.

without One of Them You Can Not Live
in the Cars Dominions.
You can not enter or leave city or
town in the Empire without reporting
yourself to the police like ticket-of-
leave man; you are forbidden to extend
the hospitality of your roof to your
friend or neighbor for a single night
without first informing the police of
your intentions and sending them your
guests passport; whether you are a
Russian or foreigner, you can no more
spend night in hotel or change your
lodgings even for twenty-four hours
without communicating with the police
and sending them your passport than
you can bespeak rooms in the Winter
Palace. Nay, whether you are Rus
sian subject or foreigner, you can not
possibly exist without passport, which
is such an essential part of your being
that Russian lawyers have not inappro-
priately defined man as an animal
composed of three parts-a body, soul
and a passport. This passport you must
have renewed once year, unless you
are noble or an honorary citizen, and
the process is as tedious and painful as
molting is to birds. A voluminous cor
respondence and pile of documents
with copies, petitions and fifteen sup
plements was the result of the attempt
of man named Dudinsky, in the Gov
eminent of Smolensk, to renew his pass
port two years ago. And yet his papers
were in order, his conduct irreproach-
able, and his right to have his passport
renewed was not even called in ques-
ton. These obstacles and irritations
make ones soul weary of life, and ex-
plain why in the course of one year in
ST. Petersburg alone 14,799 persons were
arrested and imprisoned for not having
complied with the passport laws. Many
of these wretched creatures may be now
on their way to Siberia.-Fortnightly

Electric Cigar-Lighters.

An enterprising restaurant proprietor
has made novel application of cleo
tricity, namely, to the lighting Of cigars.
On the top of the case in which the
cigars are kept stands little oblong
machine. 1t has the usual sockets con-
tanning methylated spirits and torches,
and on it's summit is little square pro-
lection. To light his cigar the smoker
takes one of these torches, sees that it
is we'll slaked in the spirit, and touches
it sharply against the projection, which
instantly emits volley of sparks and
sets the end of the torch ablaze. The
current comes from electric wires up
above, from which couple of light
wires run down to the quaint little in
strument.-ChicagoI Inter Ocean.
