Insurance Against disease.

In certain instances there have been ar
engagements made between physician and
the head of a family that fixed amount
should be paid for each day the various
members of the family continued in good
health. But should sickness enter the
household, the physicians usual stipend
was discontinued. Such an agreement is
founded on common sense, for we don't
want to be made well, we want to be kept
well. There is a great deal Of unnecessary
attention to bodily requirements. Keep y,

The Advantage of Presence of Mind in
an Emergency.
During the late strike on the New York
Central Railroad, the militia were ordered
to be In readiness in case OF a riot, but they
were not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the troops
were not to be called upon except in case Of
an emergency. The emergency had not
arisen, therefore they would not be ordered
out He remarked that this was the first
great strike with which he had had ex-
perience, and he did not propose to lose his
head; the only point at which there had
been serious trouble was at Syracuse, and
there deputy sheriff had lost his head and
precipitated an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks, and
there was riotous action at various points
along the road, but the civil authorities
were able to cope with it without calling on
the militia

THERE is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con.
stantly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney a. Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-

Notes for Ladies Who Delight In Dressing
According to latest Styles.
The exquisitely fine Indian cashmere
and Henrietta cloths displayed among
the new autumn dress-goods present a
wide range of raro and beautiful shades,
not attainablo in any other fabrics OF
approximate price.
The rage for embroideries is increas-
ing rather than diminishing. Inventive
genius is continually exercised to main
tain variety of patterns. Silk, Che
Mile, arrascene, and beads of all colors
and kinds, in imitation of metals, mosa-
les, and precious stones of all sorts, are
employed. The effect of the now pas
sementeries is dazzling, and elaborate
trimmings Of these on rich gowns pro-
duce result that is decidedly Eastern.
Many OF the new red-cloth jackets are
mass of the most complex and in.
tricate braiding. The vivid hue of tho
cloth is toned to mere suggestion of
color, by reason of the mass of fine
black braid. Some of the jackets are
covered entirely with braid on the fore
half of the sleeves, the collar and on the
fronts; but at the back there is no yes-
tige of braid to be seen, and tho coat
looks half red, half black-a patchy
sort of style not at all admirable.
Russell, tan-colored and golden-brown
Bedford cords and silk-finished cordu-
roys are used for vests, both long and
short, under open cloak dresses and
jackets of German broad cloth or faced"
cloth.
India cashmere and other fine WOOL
ems that under new names, closely re-
semble camol's hair, are used by French
and English modistes in combination
with soft silks with stripes of velvet, or
else with heavy pliable surahs that are
plaided in neutral tints combined with
rich fruit and foliage colors.

of ocean-gray cashmere, with lareuse or

faille. The full vest is of the stripe,
with mousquetaire revers of gray velvet
at each side. A dinner dress from the
same artist is formed of Venitian-brown

thin land that had been left unculti-

understand why the farmers did not

On that abandoned piece of land weeds
were growing rank. This was evidence
enough to him that with proper prepa-
ration the soil would grow good red
clover, and he had found out by actual
experiment thatit was as valuable as a
crop of corn. Strange that the owner
of this lend did not know this. He is
