Catarrh to Consumption.

Catarrh in Its destructive force stands next to and
undoubtedly leads on to consumption 1t is, there
fore, singular that those afflicted with this fearful
disease should not make it the object OF their lives
to rid themselves Of 1t. Deceptive remedies con-
cocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge
have weakened the confidence of the great majority
of sufferers in all advertised remedies. They be-
come resigned to life of misery rather than torture
themselves with doubtful palliatives.
But this viii never do. Catarrh mast be met at
every stage and combated with all our might In
many cases the disease has assumed dangerous symp
toms. The bones and cartilage of the nose the or

Said j. W. Spalding, an expert in such
matters, the other day to representative of
the New York Tribune: "Many man has
tried to reduce the size of his waist by ex-
erciSe, and after he has spent hours every
day for weeks in walking, running club
swinging and dumb-b ell lifting, riding. etc.
has found that while his actual weight has
perhaps decreased perceptibly. yet his waist
measures about the same as usual. The
fact is that fatty degeneration of the muscu-
lar tissue begins nearly always in those
muscles which are used the least. For this
reason the abdominal muscles are generally
the first to be attacked. Every ounce of fat
which fastens on muscle is so much dead
weight, closing its contraction, or working,
and rendering the muscle less active than
before and therefore inviting more fat to ac-
cumulate upon it.
" Muscle alone has the power of contrac-
ton. thus approXimating its ends and NOV
ing the parts to which they are attached,
Fat has not this power. Suppose "a man
carries thirty or forty pounds of fat See
how he is handicapped. III he wants to play
ball he is III the same condition as a race
horse handicapped with the same weight of
iron, and of course it is readily seen that it
is not desirable 10 be fat if strength is to be
as great as possible and hence economical.
Endurance is but another term for continu-
Gus expenditure of strength. Hence fat
man has less endurance than If he had no
fat. Besides having fatty deposits around
the muscles and thus handicapping by dead
and useless weight alone, it is found in
small amounts throughout the muscles of fat
people. even between muscle fiberS SO fine
that they cannot be seen except under the
microscope. Such muscle, in contracting,
cannot get hard because the large sprnkling

AGED INDIANS.
Remarkable Longevity OF the Ma
tiyes Of Southern California.

The early inhabitants of Southern Califor-
MIA, according TO the statement of III. II.
Bancr oft and other reports, were found to
be living in Spartan conditions as to temper
ance and training, and highly moral con-
dition, in consequence of which they had
uncommon physical endurance and con-
tempt for luxury. This training in alb
stinence and hardship, with temperance in
diet, combined with the climate to produce
the astonishing longevity to be found here.
Contrary TO the customs of most other tribes
OF Indians, their aged were the care of
the community. DR.. w. A. Winder OF San
Diego is quoted as saying that in visit
to Ell Cajon Valley, some thirty years ago,
he was taken to house in which the aged
persons were cared for. There were half a
dozen who bad reached an extreme age
Some were unable to move, their bony frame
being seemingly anehylosed. They were
old. wrinkled and blear-eyed; their skin
was hanging in leathery folds about their
withered limbs; some had hair as white
as snow and had seen some seven score of
years; Others, still able to crawl. but so aged
as to be unable to stand, went slowly about
on their hands and knees, their limbs be-
ing attenuated and withered. The organs
Of special sense had in many nearly lost
all activity some generations back. Some
had lost the use of their limbs for more than
decade or generation; but the organs of
life and the great sympathetic" still kept
up their automatic functions, not recognize
Ing the fact, and surprisingly Indifferent to
it, that the rest of the body had ceased to
be of any use a generation or more in the
past. DR.. Palmer has photograph (Which
l have seem of a squaw whom he estimates
to be 1876 years old. When he visited her he
saw her put six watermelons In blanket,
tie it I'D, and carry it on her back
distance of two miles. He is IA
miliar with Indian customs and his
tory, and careful cross-examination con-
WINGED him that her information of old Gus
toms was not obtained by tradition. She
was conversant with tribal habits she had
seen practiced, such as the cremation of the
dead, which the mission fathers had conf
PEELED the Indians to relinquish. She had
seen the Indians punished by the fathers
with fioggings for persisting In the practice
OF cremation.
At the mission of San Tomas, in Lower
California, is still living an Indian Ia pho
tograph of whom DIR. Remondino shows,
bent and wrinkled, whose age Is computed
at 40 years. Although blind, he is still
active, and daily goes down the beach
and along the beds Of the creeks in search of
drlft-wood, making it his daily task to
gather and carry to camp fagot of wood.

Floral Wedding Handouts.

One of the prettiest novelties at English
bridals is that Of linking the bridesmaids TO-
gelher with chains OF flowers attached to
floral handouts, says the Ladies' Home
journal.
Usually there are six maids besides the
maid Of honor. They walk two by two,
those on the right side of the aisle hav-
ing the chains depending from their
LETT wrists, the maids on the left side
having their right wrists connected. The
chains are long enough TO curve gracefully
from wrist 10 wrist. The outside hand of
each maid is free to hold her bouquet,
posey or basket of blossoms, and linking the
wrists, that are on the inside going up the
aisle, brings the maids in the right order as
they form quarter circles, one on each side,
at the chancel. After the ceremony, in the
twinklng of an eye, the maid nearest the
bride on each side slips off her handcuff,
passes it to the second maid, takes the arm
of her usher and falls into line. Maid
number two follows suit, and the two who
are last to leave the church carry the chains

has curved board to support his back,
takes some of the weight off his stomach
muscles by means of his arms. 1t Is best for
beginners to start with this machine, and
nfter their muscles, long unused to action,
become little accustomed to the strain, let
them try the direct weight, and pull by
means of a head-stall, using only light
weights even then at first. Half an hour of
such exercise each day will do more, it is
said, to reduce the girth, especially if COM
bined with as great a degree Of abstinence
from drinks of any kind as possible, than
any other form Of exercise known.
Speaking of liquids, man who generally
knows what he is talking about. said re-
Gently:
Liquids make fat. The character of the
liquids has good deal to do with It, but the
practice Of drinking generally leads to nm

little, fat is unknown In Paris, where men

SIT is an actual fact that the muscles of
face are as susceptible of development as
any muscles of the body. The method is a
very simple one, but thorough. No one
can doubt for moment that a full, round
neck and plump cheeks add greatly to
ones beauty. The only way to get this
full neck and plump cheeks is to go
to work in an intelligent manner and
develop the neck and facial muscles,
which DEVELOPMENT causes the lines OF
beauty to exist You may think, per-
haps, il is unnecessary to develop muscular
tissue in Older TO gain beauty. but that you
can get it only By gaininga little more fat !;
this is very great mistake. The lines of
beauty can only exist where the muscles are

without muscular development will cause

Onion soup Objected To.

Paris landlords have recently furnished
subjects for a good deal of criticism. The
other day one of them expelled tenant
because he had become the father of fourth
child. His lease stipulated that he had to
leave if he had family Of more than three
children. Another strange clause in lease
is attracting attention. A gentleman
recently hired an apartment and signed a
lease in which it was particularly stipulated
that If ever onion soup was cooked in his
apartment he would have to quit at a mo-
ment's notice. 1t so happened the gentle
man was very fond IF onion soup, and re-
garding the stipulation as merely Joke.
gave orders to his cook, few DAYS after
moving in, TO prepare the savory dish. He
had not, however, sat down to the table to
taste it before the landlord. who lived in the
house. came up 10 rage, with witnesses to
prove the violation of the agreement. The
offending tenant has to go.
