No one doubts that DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy really cures Catarrh, whether
the disease be recent or of long standing,
because the makers of it clinch their
faith in it with 5000 guarantee, which

is one that is 'son. CALI in moment.
That moment is when you prove that
its makors can't cure you. The reason
for their faith is this: DIR. Sage's
remedy has proved itself the right cure
for ninety mine out of one hundred cases
of catarrh in the head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Association can af-
ford to take the risk of you being the

THE FoRFEITED LANDS.

The DALLEs, July 26.-Following is 8
copy Of the act. recently become law,
in reference to purchase of forfeited rail
road lands under section three. act of
Septe.nber 2sth, 1880.
Be If enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America in congress assembled
That section three, of an act entitled
an act to forfeit certain lands heretofore
granted for the purpose of aiding in the
construction of,railroads, and for other
purposes, be, and the same is amended
go as to extend the time within which
persons actually residing cpon lands
forfeited by said act shall be permitted
to purchase the same in the quantities
and upon the terms provided in said
section at any time within three years
from the passage of SAID act.
Capt. John w. Lewis, register of The
~Dallee United States land Office more
fully explains the question as follows !:
By act of congress, approved September
90, 1890, claimants, under the third sec
ton, we're allowed two years from that
date in which to pay for the land to
which they were legally entitled. By a
subsequent act. (Feb. IS9fl this time was
extended to the Sd day of February,
1898, and by another and recent act the
time was further extended, to actual
residents only, TO three years from Sep
tember %, 1890. So that, as the law
now stands, parties entitled to purchase
under the third section, but not actual
residents on the land, must make pay
ment ON or before February 8, 1893.
Actual residents on the land will have
until September 20, 1898"

cost OF the printing for both Senate and
House during session was not over
$1,000.
president Jefferson departed from
previous custom by sending a message
In writing TO Congress, with accom-
pany documents. When printed the
message and documents" made a vol
ume OF 100 pages, and 500 copies were
printed at cost OF $521. Mr.. Bayard
OF Delaware thought this very extrava-
CANT and insisted that $50 copies were
enough. II Is interesting to note that
the message and documents" Of the
Fiftieth Congress made volume OF 1858
pages, of which were printed $4,000
copies. at a cost Of SIT 900.
In 1919 Congress passed a. joint reso-
luton providing that Congressional
Printer should be elected by ballot.
The place thus became q political plum,
and the cost Of the public printing i'm
mediately jumped from SIT 900 to $29, 900
per session, where IL remained for ten
years. 1t was subsequently ascertained
that the profits of the Congressional
Printer under this arrangement were
about So per cent, being secured largely
by tricks of the trade" In 1910 an in
vestigation disclosed the fact that the
profits Of tho printers employed during
the seven previous years had been nearly
$67 900 per annum. This disclosure pro-
duced a sensation.
In 1852 On act was passed providing
for the appointment OF Superintendent
OF Public Printing, who should super

This made things worse than ever.
Politicians without practical knowledge
of printing secured the job and farmed
1t out to others at a percentage OF the
receipts. The party In power selt cted
the man with definite understanding to
the effect that he should devote specified
sums out of his profits to partisan pur-
poses. In some cases six times fair
rate was paid for certain work, given out
secretly, the plumber thus secured be-
ing distributed among persons OF in
fiooence."
Cornelius Wendell, who did much Of
the public printing for long period,
contributed $100,0U0 for political pur-
poses in four years, paying besides to
the elected printers of the Senate and
House, whose contracts were sublet
to him, 100000. In 1852 a master
printer contracted to do all the post
Office printing for 80 per cent. of the old
price allowed. or cents on the dollar.
This seems hardly credible, yet it is
true. In 1857 Congress abolished the
Office of superintendent of public print
ing and created the post of Congression-
al Printer, to which the title OF Public
Printer was attached. The Public Print
er is appointed by the President. with
the consent of the Senate. At present
the printing and binding Of Congress
alone costs about 81, 100, 900 yearly, the
department appropriations for similar
purposes aggregatinG considerable over
q million dollars more.

MODERN Germany is paradox. In
religion nation of skeptics; in sci
cnce a nation Of iconoclasts. For
tradition and dogma the Germans
have but scant reverence, yet it has
taken hunger and poverty to drive
them into an attitude of hostility to
the overbearing young monarch, who
proclaims himself the right hand OF
God and declares that the Almighty
is vitality interested in the prosperity
of his house. The marvel is that only
the turbulent elements in Berlin are
arrayed in open revolt. 1t would
seem that the insolent demeanor OF
the scion of the house of Hohenzol-
lern would be peculiarly irritating to
that vast body of highly educated and
. intellectually emancipated men who
have put Germany first among en-
lightened nations. 1t will not be ex-
traordinary to see them engaged in
other than parliamentary opposition
to the half-mad monarch.

Chairman Richardson of the House
committee on printing thinks that there
is plenty OF room for reform in the dis
tribution of public documents. Said he:
There are at present 100000 volumes
of undistributed documents In the base
ment of the Capitol. Many of these
books, according to the statements OF
dealers, are worth from SIS to SOS each
on account of their rarity or for other
reasons. The accumulation has been
made chiefly from the overflow OF the
library OF Congress and from publica-
tons dispensed with and thrown out
| from the committee rooms. For many
years these volumes have been rotting
away, rats lending not little assistance
to their destruction. Now they are to be
distributed among the Congressman pro
rata for their constituents.
There are many ways In which public
documents are wasted. A publication Is
distributed by members Of the House.
The same publication is distributed by
| Senators. The department from which
the publication emanated distributes 1t
also. In addition, the document bureau
in the Department of the Interior scat
tiers it broadcast. Thus it has happened
that in single year 80, 600 volumes have
been returned to the document bureau
| by Libraries which had already received
copies of the same book from other
sources. or each publication the House
of Representatives receives a certain
number, which is divided up among the
members. After each one has received
his share, there is necessarily q fraction
left over, which remains in the hands of
the superintendent Of the folding-room.
During the last year these fractions
amounted to As, 900 volumes. These got to
swell the useless stock on hand. A friend

dealer 80, 900 copies of government re-

find that one very great source Of
waste In public printing Is found in the
eminent publications which has pre-
vailed. They are scattered broadcast
where they are not wanted, SO that
thousands upon thousands Of them every
year are sold to dealers in waste paper
all over the country without having been
taken from their wrappers. Volumes Of
statistics, compiled at enormous ex-
pense, excite the wonder and dismay of
bucolic constituents, and learned essays
on Tertiary Insects" or other equally
abstruse subjects astonish the untutored
residents Of city slums. The private

The method Of printing the publica-

many little things to be put to rights

4. To secure ventilation The house,

the day before, is unhealthful, and
should be opened and fully aired in sea-

time.
5. To greet pupils. Children kindly

The teacher is frequently at her Wits
end TO know what 10 do for pictures to
place before the whole school. IL takes
too long to draw such pictures upon the
blackboard as she wishes TO see there.
Her standard is for elaborate work. The
fact is that for busy work the simpler
the drawings the better.
The foundation idea Is to have the
thought of the child stimulated by not
seeing oil the details. He will think
better from simple line figures than
from perspective drawing. Here, for
instance, are few of the simplest OF
