All medical authorities agree that cas-
tarrh is no more nor less than an inflam-
nation of the lining membrane of the ma.
sal air passages Nasal catarrh and all
catarrhal affections of the head are not
diseases of the blood. and it is serious
mistake to treat them as such. No con-
scientious physician ever attempts TO do
so. 1t is held by eminent medical men
that sooner or later specific will be
found for every disease from which hu-
manitHp suffers. The facts justify US in
aasuusthg that for catarrh at least pos
tive cure already exists in Ely's Cream

FOREVER YOUNG.

The wild world hnstpns ON its wav.
The gray nairei century naars its close:
Its sorrow deepens dav hy dav.
The summer blush fogsaec, the rose,
But. darling. while your voice I near.
And while your dark brown eve, sea
Sad months and sunless seasons dreat
Are all the same all glad to me.
Despair can never reach me
While your soft hand | hold.
While your eye, love aud teacu me
shall never grow old
They lay that love forsakes the old.
That passion pale, aud fades away;
That even love, brigh, iorx4 of gold
Must lose their charm and change TO gray
But, darling, while ysur heart is mine,
And while feel that YOU are true.
For me the skies will ever shine
With summer light and tcndcrtsc blue.
Yet, let old age deri1e me
scorn his mocking tongue.
Dear love with YOU beside mo
am forever young.

Crowned Queen After Death.

The is no more remarkable page in all
history, says the st. Louis Rsplbiic, than
the one which tells ot the crowning of
incl de CastrO's heshlcsS skull uS Queen
oi Portugal. She had been married clan
dc,tincly to young Don peGro, and was
murdered three years later by a,saSSins
ius,igatei by her father-in-aw. When
the Young Don heard of her death he was
beside himself with grief and rage. Two
OF the assaSsinS fell into his hands and
suffered l rriblc torture, which only
ended by their hearts being torn out
while they were yet alive. When Pedro
came TO the throne few years later he
had the bones of lneL taken from the
grave, placed upon a magnificent throne,
robci in royal purple, and actually
crowned Queen of Portugal. The court
was summoned and compelled TO do her
homage, just rs If she were real living
Queen. One heshlcss hand held the scep.
tire aud the other the orb of royalty. On
the second night OF this weird ceremony
the hrShleSS Queen WAS borne before
grand funeral corte &c extending several
miles, each person holding torch.
Lying in her rich robes, her crown upon
hcr grinuing skull, in chariot drawn by
twenty coal.black mules, Queen lneZ,
the only Queen who never knew her royal
station, was driven to the royal abbey
of Alcobaca, where the bones were in.
tered with as much pomp ms though she
had died but yesterday, The monument
erected 70 the Queen, who was never a
Queen during life, is still to be seen in
the abbey, standing near the one erected
to hcr loyal husband, Pedro the Just.

ABOUT MovISG BEES.

If the beekeeper wishes to move his
bee colonies short distance-leSs than
halt or three-q quarters of a mile-he may
ds so with slight Inconvenience. Fixing
our grounds last season, we had to move
ours twice, eight or ten rods. We did
this just at nightfall, after they were
done flying The first day We move
about hali # them, taking each alternate
colony. In the new position we placed
the entrance facing the opposite direc-
tion from that of its previous position,
We also drove board into the ground
Just in front of the entrance. The new
position of the hive as to points OF the
compass, and the new object in front of
the hive, caused nearly all the bees to
mark their new position and return to it.
The few that went back to the old place
Joined the colonies still there, and
strengthened them. After the bees first
moved had had good fly, we moved the
others, at similar time and in similar
MANNER rs before, only leaving four col
,nies, one in each quarter of the old

turn. Soon these four were moved, and
so far as we could see, we suffered no lose
or Inconvenience. The point TO be ob.
served is so to change the aspect abou.

out will note the new surroundings 81, d.
