CATARRH.

Catarrh Deafness-Hay Fever-A New Home
Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that these dis
eases are contagious, or that they are due to the
presence of living parasites in the lining membrane
Of the nose and eustachirn tubes. Microscopic re-
search. however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple remedy
has been formulated whereby catarrh, catarrhal
deafness and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications made at
home by the patient once in two weeks.
N B.-This treatment Is not a snuff or an oint-
ment; both have been discarded by reputable ply
sicans as injurious. A pamphlet explaining this
new treatment Is sent free on receipt of stamp to
pay postage, by A. Fl. Dixon, & Son, 337 and 339

DISASTER at THE MANCHESTER III CANAL.

Since the beginning of the Manchester Ship
Canal the work, like all other gigantic en-
cheering operations, has been attended by
considerable loss of life and injury to limb;
but on July IS q disaster occurred beside
which all previous accidents sink into insigni-
fcance. At about one o'clock in the morning
two engines were qttached to a number of
wagons loaded with soil or rock debris. The
train was running along the line of rails
above the rock cutting on the 1nCe section,
about six miles from Chester, when it became
the duty Of George Pratt, g. lad of IL, to pull
q lever turning the train from one line to an
other. Pratt-probably,tired out with his mid
night duties, turned the points in the wrong
direction, and the entire train of two engines
and "a wagons was precipitated down an en-
bankment 80 feet deep into the cutting below.
Here there was a gang Of men at work,
as a spectator described it, as chick as bees"
1t is conjectured that they were eating
their supper when the laden train fell upon
them. The scene, as the rescuers got to
work, was horrible. As the wrecked eng
ines and shattered trucks were tediously
removed the corpses were discovered, one by
one, so horribly mutilated in many cases as to
defy recognition, while one mans body was
actually severed at the waist. Altogether ten
men were recovered dead. aud six others,
suffering from injuries, were removed to the
Ship Canal Hospital. Pratt has been brought
up at the Chester County Police Court,
charged with manslaughter. The police
sergeant sad that when arrested the prisoner
exclaimed, q thought they were empty
wagons. " The Chairman, Mr.. Trelawny,
having commented on the fact of a small boy
being in charge Of the points, the prisoner
was reman1ad

Slightly flushed with excitement, but other
wise perfectly self-possessed, she reclined upon
the grass, and patiently awaited her turn, rife
in hand. Her first, or sighting, shot, from
which marksmen are enabled to judge the
advance to be made for wind and other in
convenienceS, was a maybe counting four, and
then came the first towards ne completion OF
her aggre gate. It was a bullseye, and was
followed by two others. Then there was a
slight falling off with a magpie and an outer,
leavi ng two shots still to be fired. Both were
bullse yes, bringing up her score at 800 yards
to 81, and her aggregate to SO. Loud cheers
were raised when the final bull was signalled
and veteran marksmen expressed their aston
ishment at NJ ISIS Leale's performance. Miss
Leale is a member of the National Rife Asso-
citation, and it is more than likely that she
will do what she can to organise a ladies'
match for some future occasion. If she sue
ceeds, the event will be the most attr active in
the whole programme. 1t should be added that
Miss Leale's experience Of rifle shooting ID only
of eighteen months duration.

Comments on the relations between England
and the Powers have been INDUCED in freely
for some time past on the other side of tho
Channel, and, as might have been expected,
the Kaiser's visit has supplied French politi-
clans with fresh remarks on asubject to which
they have devoted considerable attention of
late. It seems hardly possible to realise the
fact that only a short period has elapsed since
England was tainted porsistently with her
isolation, and since she was confronted
with a number of very thorny questions in
different parts of the globe which rendered her
relations with moro than one, or even two
Powers, extremely delicate. Things, indeed,
have undergone a change since then, aud, as
we have seen recently, there has been a mark
ed tendency on the part Of somc of our con-
tinental friends to - into the opposite ex-
IRENE, and to represons England as being now
overburdened with alliances. The contrast is
striking, and perhaps the chief moral to be
drawn from all this discussion is that England's
prestige has increased considerably of late
years.

From the European Ma1(Jaly %. J

The speech of the German Emperor at
Guildhall, in London, has evoked a warm and
hearty echo from the organs Of all parties in
Berlin, The speech is spoken of by some pa
pers, not without Justice, as the fruit Of quiet
statesmanlike reflection, laying Town a Kind Of
political programme adapted to the mainte-
nance and strengthening Of the good relations
between Germany and her neighbours and
framed to avoid giving cause for annoyance
either to the French or to the Russians. Says
the Berlin correspondent Of the Sto@dGrd:-
an every word he uttered on that memorable
occasion the Emperor gave expression to his
own innermost feelings and convictions, OF
which he has already given proof by his ac-
lions. However much a cordial reception of the
Emperor may have been f~avoured by his near
relationship to Queen Victoria, the genuine
ness and warmth Of the popular demonstrations
were unmistakable, and have naturally given
the highest satisfaction in all quarters here"

A LADY's SCORE.

Thank God, she's not in the Queens
was the spontaneous, and no doubt the un-
anlmOus, feeling of the marksmen who
witnessed the splendid shooting of Miss
Lealo on June Is, and, if the young lady
can maintain the standard of her skill, they
have cause to be thankful that they are
not called upon to compete with her for the
biggest and most coveted prize Of the
meeting. 1t was in the contest for the Fifty
guinea Silver Cup presented by the projectors
of the Graphic that Miss Leale~ distinguished
herself, the conditions of shooting being seven
shots at 200 yards and an equal number at
500. At the first distance she made 81 out of
q possible IS, and proba bly, would have done
better, as her after performance suggests, but
for the fact that the seven shots had to be
fired within two minutes. Anxious lest she
should overstep the time limit, she discharged
bullet after bullet with great rapidity, and
when she had finished had nearly twenty-five
seconds to spare. In shooting she occupied
the sitting position in which she has been
accustomed to practise at the ranges of the
Guernsey Rife Association, and in handling
her Martini Henry she equalled any man on
the common. Having completed her score, she
was warmly cheered by the spectators, and
heartily congratulated by her personal friends.
An hour and a half later she reappeared at the
firing point, accompanied by her father and
some ladies, in order to fire her remaining seven
shots at the increased distance and, as the bulk
of the work elsewhere was now over, regulars,
volunteers, and visitors (of whom there were
many clustered around the register keeper to
witness her craftsmanship Bisley had be-
como interesting at last, and that on account
of the unforeseen advent Of a lady. Even the
services of the police had to be enlisted to re.
press the embarrassing eagerness Of onlookers.
st the 500 yards Miss Leale adopted the
prone posture, and as no time limit was i'm.
posed she was able to exercise that delibera-
ton which characteristics most of her shooting.

, 1891-08-19

For several years past the French national
}3te to celebrate the 18th Of July has been
Tagging, partly from loss of novelty and part
ly from political reaction, but in 1889 the Ex-
hibition gave it a new start, tho effect of which
was still discerniblo in 1890. This year there
was o perceptible fall in the thermometer, and
successive falls may be expected until something
occurs to occasion q rebound. IT is true that
the boulevards were liberally decorated with
flags, and that some third rate by-streets were
layishly adorned, but the Rue de Rivoli and
the Avenue de P0pera had a very scanty dis
play Of flags, the upper storeys being quite bare
and the ground floors anything but gay, while
the Champs Elys6es and Faubourg st. German
quarters exhibited their wonted dlSdain. Tho
f6te, moreover, presented few novel features.
Spectacular resources seem for the present
at a standstill, and but for the opening of the
new Avenue de la Republique, which gave an
opportunity for ~triumphal arches, iIlumina-
tons, and fireworks in a part Of the city
hitherto neglected the f6te would have
been almost a copy of former years. There
was an omission, indeed, which is a matter for
congratulation. The municipality has aban-
doned the silly custom of equipping ten-year
old boys as soldiers, and reviewing them in
front of the Hotel de Vile. This item of the
programme being oxpunged, the day began
with the unwilling of the Danton statue in the
Faubourg st. German, but q short distance,
as the Reactionaries complain, from the Alb
baye, where commenced those September
massacres for which Danton will always be
held moro or less responsible. The sculptor,
M. Auguste Paris, who has not toned down
his hero's physiognomy, represents him utter
ing !his famous Ode raudace, encore de Pau
dace, t%ouiours de l'audace" Speeches in
praise of Danton were delivered. At
about the same hour the Alsatians
made their usual procession to the Strasburg
statue in the Place de la Concorde, and cover
cd it with wreaths. An immense throng re-
paired to the Bots de Boulonge to witness the
customary review Of the Paris garrison, The
Bots, owing to the late spring and recent rains
was delightfully."- green, and a cool breeze
agreeably tempered the suns rays. The re-
view was an exact copy of former years, even
to the cheering for particular regiments and
to the acclamations for, President Carnot on
his arrival and departure. There was loud
clapping when the cavalry galloped in
front of the stands. The Diplomatic Corps

As Others See Us.

A funny story is told at the expense of Sir
Richard Moon, chairman of the board of d.
rectors of the London and Northwestern
Railway company. Sir Richard is one of the
most energetic railway magnates known, and
Is the terror of the employees of the company,
for they never know when he is about to
pounce upon them. He makes a point of
visiting every station on the line at least
once year, and has an odd habit Of over
hauling the books and accounts of station
masters at inconvenient times. He knows
the price of everything, and is said to have
rowed an unfortunate freight agent for giving
too much for a packet of carpet tacks.
One day he dropped in at Crewe station
about A. M. and saw couple of porters
hard at work cleaning up things generally.
Sir Richard was delighted. "This is the
right way, men," be exclaimed. 81 like to
see such painstaking industry begun 30 bright
and early in the morning" Industry be
blowed p said the man addressed tartly, who
of course did not know who the fussy old
gentleman was. I'VE don't commence work
at this unearthly hour, but we've just heard
that old nuisance, Moon, is on the road some,
where and we're getting ready in case the old
hunks should drop in on Us unexpected" In
justice to Sir Richard be it said he took no
notice of the opprobrious remarks, but quiet
ly slipped sway and gave the men the go-by
that time.

A Natural Inquiry.

A certain witty bishop found himself, a few
months ago. crossing the Bay of Fundy, from
Digby to st. John, in company with GER
tain Mr.. Caswell. The Bay of Fundy has a
reputation for Turbulence only to be matched
by the English channel or the Bay of Biscay.
Mr.. Caswell was struggling with violent
attack of seasickness but the bishop, who
was above such weakness, was very cheerful
and inclined to conversation.
He had failed, however, to catch Mr.. Cas-
wells name correctly, and persisted in call
ing him "Mr Aswell." At last the sufferer
in moment of ease corrected him, saying,
"Caswell, my lord; my name is Caswell,
not Aswell"
"Ohp said the bishop, eying him critically
as new spasm seized upon his unhappy &C
quaintance Well, MIR. Caswell, don't you
think you would be Aswell without the sea9'

They Couldn't See the Joke.

, Three members of the Episcopal congress
sat in corner of the Lafayette waiting room
talking over some important subject. All
were men ranging from 90 to 65 years. all
were dressed in black, and the face of each
wore look of intense interest. Those who
noticed these gentlemen were aware that
they were discussing some important church
question, and nobody heard what they said
but one young man who appeared to have
fallen asleep in chair near by. As he half
opened his eyes the western bishop gravely
said: cd &c..
"Gentlemen, I wish to ask a question"
The others drew nearer as the bishop, care
fully adjusting his spectacles, continued:
Gentlemen, why is grim death like tin can
tied to dogs tailf"
A silence ensued. The two clergymen
thus addressed unused for while and then
shook their heads. "Give it up" they said.
A grim smile spread over the bishops face
as he added, "Grim death is like tin can
tied TO dogs tail because it's bound to a
pup" Then he burst into roar of laugh
ter, and the others made feeble efforts to join
him and appreciate the joke.
Late that evening the three met again in
the Lafayette corridor, and the bishop, lit
the embarrassed. said: Gentlemen, told
that story wrong this afternoon. What I
really meant was this: Grim death is like
tin can tied to dogs tail because it's bound
to occur-not to pup"
The others laughed this trip.

heard guest politely answer to the wielde,
