"7Rere's something behind it,"
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of a medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must be some
thing back of it,"
But it's a plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in the Head. To its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing 1t has a record that
goes back for % years. 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer ?" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like DIR. Sage's Remedy.

Zululand and Cefevay0.

Zululand is situated on the eastern
coast of Africa. north of Natal. Its
area is about 10000 square miles, and
its population before the war with Eng
land, in 1879, was about ESQ, 200. This
war, which brought the Zulus and their
king, Cetewayo, into prominent notice,
was forced upon them by the representa-
tives of the British Government in Natal,
who had long been anxious to annex the
country. In order to have some pre-
tense for forcible occupation of the
land, Sir Bsrtle Frere demanded of
Cetewayo that large fines in cattle should
be paid for offenses Of the Zulus ON the
border; that he should disbapd his
army, and not attempt to form it again !;
and that he should allow British officer
to live in Zululand and assist him in ad-
ministering the government. This,
naturally, brought about the desired
war.
At first the Zulu army, which num-
bered about 1900 men, was successful
in every battle, and had Cetewayo de-
sired to push his advantage after tho
battle at Issndlwana he could have
crossed the border and completely ami.
hilated the English; but from the first
he insisted that he was fighting on the
defensive only, and his soldiers were
under strict orders not to 60 over into
Natal to fight. The final battle in the
war was fought on July 4, 1879, result
ing in total defeat of the Zulu army,
and on August Is Cetewsyo was taken to
Cape Town as prisoner. Subsequently
he was taken to England, but in Decem.
Der, 1882, he was reinstated King of
Zululsnd, to rule it as a vassal of Eng.
land. In 1883 he was wounded in .
battle with one OF the subordinate chiefs,
who had been left in possession of .
large tract of country at the north, and
died at Natal in March, 1884. 1t was
in the Zulu war that the young Prince
Imperial of France was killed, he having
joined the English army in search Of
renown.-Brooklyn Citisen.

Bone Graftiug.

A. G. Miller, in the Lancet, reports the
history of a case in which he used de.
calcified bone CHIPS successfully to fill
up large cavity in the head of the
tibis. A piece of the rib of an OK was
used, being first scraped and then de.
calcified in a weak solution Of hydro
chloric acid. After cleansing, by pres.
sure, it was placed for forty eight hours
in carbolic acid solution, one to twenty,
then removed, and cut into small pieces.
During the scraping out of the cavity in
the knee, preparatory to the grating, .
number of small pieces of bone were 70.
moved. These were placed in a solu.
ton of boric acid for use later in the
operation. The cavity was then stuffed
with the decalcified bone shavings, the
pieces of fresh bone being added last.
The cavity thus filled was about two
inches in diameter. Granulation and
healing took place rapidly; the only
pieces of bone that became necrosed were
from the patients own body. The author
is convinced, from his observation of
this case, that the healing of large bone
cavities, the result of injury or disease,
is greatly facilitated by stuffing them
with decalcifed-bone chips, that these
are superior to fresh bone, and that
fresh bone not only is of no use, but
actually hinders the process Of granula-
ton

Tumbled Into Fortune.

A remarkable instance of the tickle.
ness of fortune, which occurred in Butte,
Montana, several weeks ago, has just
come to light. Dave Evans, a young
miner, had been to see his best girl Sun
day night. Returning home late he fell
into an abandoned prospecting hole, and
was compelled to remain until the fol-
lowing morning, when, in ascending by
means of rope, he scaled off a portion
of the wall, and discovered a rich lead
of silver. He leased the mine, and is
now taking out ore that yields $500 q
ton in silver and considerable quantity
of copper. He has been offered $50, 600
to cancel his lease, but refuses to SELL

Petroleum as Hair Persuader.

Not a suspicion of hair remained on
che Uranium Of Pennsylvania engineer.
He had heard of petroleum as q hair
restorer, and, as he ran into the oil re.
glons, daily, decided to try it. Procur-
ing felt skull-cap he lined it with cotton
waste from the cab and continually kept
it moist with the crude oil. His duties
occupied his attention and he soon be-
came accustomed to the odor. In few
weeks he was surprised by silky down
which made his head feel soft to the
touch, and in a few months astonished
his friends with beautiful crop of short
curly hair.
