from Catarrh in the Head. Those.
who don't have it suffer from those
who do. It's a disease you can't
keep to yourself.
Here are some of the symptoms
Headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid,
at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid, and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath; smell
and taste impaired, and general de-
bility. But only few of these
likely to be present at once.
The cure for it-for Catarrh it.
self, and all the troubles that come
from ia perfect and permanent
cure, is DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
The worst cases yield to its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties. A record of 25 years
has proved that to its proprietors
and they're willing to prove it
to you.
They do it in this way: If they
can't cure your Catarrh, no matter
how sbad your case, or of how long
standing, they'll pay you $500 in
cash: Can you have better proof of
the healing power of a medicine?

DRINKING IN FRANCE.
Tho Uso OF Alcoholic Beverages Constant
" on tho Increase.

The Csc Of Alcoholic Beverages Constant.
~ on tho Increase.
The receipts from the tax upon dis
titled liquors in France indicate that
the use OF Intoxicating beverages con-
tanning large percentage of alec hol is
constantly on the increase. There was
time, not many years ago, when the
French people confined themselves
very largely to tho use of light wines,
and when the traveller in France rarely
encountered an intoxicated person.
Indeed, the statement used frequently
to be made by writer's in this country
that, judging by experiences in France,
it was safe to say that the effect of the
use OF light wines and beer was to
drive out heavy alcoholic liquors, and
that to acquire the taste for these mild
beverages was tantamount to acquir-
ing dislike for more potent intox.
icants. But later experiences tend
to disprove conclusions based upon
the foregoing line of reasoning, for
within the last few years not
only the Frerth, but the Swiss peo-
pie have shown a marked and grow
ing disposition to indulge to excess
in distilled drinks having a high per-
centago of alcohol, and in certain parts
of both countries the amount of drunk
enness is increasing with terrible rapid
ity. Various reasons have been given
for this change, the most plausible of
which is that the cheap processes of dis
tillation and improved methods of
transportation have pro, ided oppor.
tunities that did not prev lousy exist,
and that it was lack of opportunity
rather than any distaste thx It in previous
years prevented the use OF strong alco-
holic beverages, so. now that the con.
ditions are changed, there is nothing to
prevent large consumption. While
temperance societies have never made
much Roadway in France, it is not inn
probable that in view of the new pc rils
that threaten the people, movements of
this kind will be begun. The consump.
ton of liquors in France is still far be-
low the average of some other Euro
pean countries; but, with the rate of
increase of the last three or four years,
it will not take long to bring the
French people up, or perhaps down, to
this undesirable level. Already the
danger is exciting attention from some
of the leading public men, and before
the century is out it is not improba bic
that blue ribbon crusade NAV be I'M
dertaken in this great center of tho

Five Acres Enough.

A man, if he is industrious, perse-
vering and economical, can make q
comfortable living on five acres of
land by combining poultry and fruit.

In the summer the most attention can
be paid to the fruit; in winter, the

When to Shear tho Sheep.

Early shorn sheep winter much bet
ter than others. Recently met with
a pretty good judge. in whose opinion l
concur that late-shorn sheep do not win
ter so we'll, with as much thrift or as
little mortality, as those that are di-
vested of their old feeces early in the
season of spring feed. Indeed it is
easy to perceive that sheep, if young
and growing, that have not made good
growth, or if full grown have not FUZZY
recuperated from their condition usual
~ preceding spring feed, before the
first and best half of the grass season
has passed, cannot be in as good condi-
ton or possess as much vigor and
robustness with which to meet and
combat the inclemency of the weather.

Perhaps he would like to know some

In the year 1872, in the early summer,
I received an appointment to a cadet

Schumacher, then a congressman and
now prominent lawyer. l thought
it was kindness then. After I

to have me killed

with light heart boarded a Hudson
river train and started on my career as
soldier. Everybody must have real
lied the fact that l was a born warrior
as passed through the street on nv
way to the station. My shoulders were
thrown back, my chest was thrown
forward, my chin was depressed, and |
kept perfect step to the martial airs
produced by the organ grinders on the
route.
Tneonly thing that dctracted from
the sngsestlveness of soldier was my
hat, which was of the kind known as

point.
At Garrison's l took boat across the
river to the government reservation.
1t was just in the early evening, and as

cadet in that way, but afterward ascer-
tanned that it was the formal notifica-
ton to the sun that they were through
with him for the day.

the matter, and cannot bear to think
that my appearance had anything to
