Mellow Old England More
Lenient Toward Them
Than Is America.
As Proof CT This Here Are
Presented Many Illustra-
tions of the Fact.
Notorious Women and Men
Who Now Shine in Eu-
ropean Society.
But Have Committed Many
Ofenses, Mentionable and
Unmentionable.

Simultaneous with the announcement
that Mrs. Coleman DraytOn proposes to
re turn to the United States some time
during the coming summer comes the
news that Mis-. Deacon likewise is bent
upon recovering her social prestige and
rank in her native country. According
to letters received from Mrs. Deacon
herself and from her acquaintance it is
the on object of all others that she has
in mind. She speaks of nothing else,
and the prospect of the success or fail
ure of her wishes has become the most
absorbing topic of discussion among the
American colony of Europe, saws the
New York World, 1t is even rumOred
that she Is prepared to go the length of
etfecting a reconciliation with her huS-
band-after his trial, of cOurSe-in Or
der to obtain her ends in the matter.
While it is quite possible that Mrs.
Coleman DraytOn will find no obstacles
in her way. since the question as to
whether she is not more Sinned against
than SHINING IS still wrapped III myS-
terry, there is no doubt that any social
aspirations that Mrs. Deacon may har-
Dor with regard to the United States
will be doomed to failure. Not only the
society of New York, but also that of all
the other great cities of the United
States, is exceedingly strict and severe
with regard to the fair fame of its
feminine leaders, and it is difficult to
find any woman enjoying at the pres
ent moment social prominence the
ermine of whose reputation is in any
way befecked by the stains of former
errors. or even peccadilloes. As
an illustration of this it may be
pointed out that the DucheSSe de Dino,
the divorced wife of F. Stevens, has
never ventured to visit her native land
since she contracted her marriage with
her present husband, whose name has
been associated with hers in a very
fragrant manner previous to her divorce
from her first husband and his divorce
from his first wife.

IS CArARRH INCURABLE?
Answer No, and for the Following
Reasons.

Reasons.
The various kinds and modes Of local
applications for catarrh, such as sprays,
atOmlZers, douches, inhalants, fumiga-
tions, creams, Ointments. lotions, gar
giles, ETC., etc., have in many cases a
soothing effect on the intiamed surfaces,
and are sometimes useful 10 assist
cure; but neither of them, nor all of
them together, ever did or ever will cure
a case of catarrh. These things may
give temporary relief, but 1T is useless to
expect cure of them. Catarrh is not
q local disease, hence cannot be cured
bv local treatment. The only hope of
success in the permanent cure of case
of chronic catarrh is to devise some
remedy that will stimulate the nerves
which supply the capillary blood YES
sells. There is but one remedy that has
the most desirable effect. and that rem
edy is Pe-ru-na. This remedy strikes at
once at the root Of the catarrh by restor-
ing TO the capillary vessels their healthy
elasticity. Pe-ru-na is not a temporary
palliative, but radical cure. Its action
is necessarily.slow. but permanent.
The reason that there are any failures
is either because the catarrh is compli-
Gated by some organic disease or the
pate mt does not take the medicine long
enough. The majority or people eX-
pect to be cured in a week or two of
catarrh that has run for ten or fifteen
years. Such people are nearly always
disappointed. Pe-ru-na will cure a re-
cent case of acute catarrh in few days
or weeks, but when the disease becomes
chronic it takes longer. In no case
should any one leave off taking Peru
IA until after writing DR.. Hartman, as a
letter from him is almost sure to point
out the cause of the failure.
A valuable pamphlet of thirty-two
pages, setting forth in detail the treat
ment of catarrh, coughs, colds, sore
throat, bronchitis and consumption, in
every phase of disease, will be sent free
to any address by The Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Co., of Columbus, 0.

SMART DOG.
He Is Recognized as an Assistant
Train Starter.

There died recently at Lowestoft,
Eng, one who is spoken of by the local
press as ga very popular member of the
Great Eastern railway" He was a
black-and-tan collie dog, and lie was
not appointed to the position" which
he held by the officers of the company,
but by himself, says the Youths Com
panlon.
Although self-appointed. time and
habit brought about his recognition az
assistant train starter at the LowestofB
station. Through residence at the sta
ton he had acquired an instinct which
told him the exact time at which each
train should start from the terminus on
its journey.
As the moment drew near the collie
became restless and excited. As tho
bell uttered its first warning sound he
would scamper down the platform, ana,
planting himself close to the engine, bark
furlously until he saw the wheels begin
to move.
Having accomplished the starting of
the train, as he supposed, he would rush
to the guards or conductors van and
hurry the conductor to his post.
As the train passed out of the station
he retired, and was seen no more until
the time was near for another train ia
start.

TRICKS OF A BEAVER.
How a Tame One Undertook to
Dam the Arkansas River.

Dam the Arkansas River.
A tame beaver, kept some years ago
by the soldiers at Bent's fort, on the
Arkansas river, became quite famous
on account of his sagacity. This animal
was caught when young, and became
perfectly docile. being a great favOrite
of the families of the fort and of the
trappers when they returned from their
trips to the mountains, says the Great
Divide. The little fellow could never
be cured of his instinct to build dams.
He actually undertook to dam the Ar
kansas river, and worked for months
all night long, returning to the fort
every morning as the sun rose. He
cut down quite number of large trees,
but life proved too short for the compile
tion of his plans.
While around the fort he was con-
stantlY turning over every kind of
vessel that contained water and collect
Ing sticks to head it off as it flowed
away. One night by oversight the
beaver was locked up in the warehouse.
During the night in nosing about he
discovered a ten-gallon tank of molas-
ses that had been left uncovered. That
discovery proved poor jacks doom. The
next day he was found gasping for life.
having been caught in the sticky mass
as the tank was upturned. He never
recovered from the shock, and was ten
derby buried in the presence of a large
circle of his friends.

SILENCE A BORE.
Little Place for Constitutional
u;,,;6;+v in Society Ranks.

IIInlOfGy HI oOClCCy AeahrAS'
What society wants is not a man who
can sit and look impressive, or even
man who is famous and content with
his fame. but a man who will just amuse
it or keep 1t gently alive, in no sense OF
discomfort, with small talk, says All
the Year Round.
From this point of view the silent man
is worst of all. He is, in fact, some
thing less than nonentity. lie Is pres
ent, and yet ne is not present. The
minus sign represents him, and not
even his claim as a good listener shall
save him from contempt. C0nfeSSedly
it is hard upon him if he has constltu-
tional timidity. But, in that case, de-
pend upon it, nature has not been SO
remisS as to send him into the world un-
equipped with a variety OF elegant
ia stes and aptitudes, for the cultivation
of which he need not frequent society.
1t would matter but little, of course.
if he were not likely to be positive
obstacle to the enjoyment of others. In
the intereStof small talk, however, this
aspect of the case must be considered.
it is not to be endured that he shall
greet the genial remark, "How do you
do?" with mere nod instead of re-
sponsive inquiry, which, with ordinary
mortals, would be the prelude to brief
but refreshing bout of commonplaces.
Even the systematic grumbler is not
so dangerous foe to our dear small
talk as this laconic or dumb person. In
deed. not infreQuently, he proves to be
remarkably entertaining. For it must
not be supposed that because he
grumbles he is an unhappy or misan--
thropic person. BY no means. The real
sufferers on this count are the people
who are too scrupulous of what they re-
gard as the feelings Of others to venture
to utter any complaints. They suffer in
secret, and are truly very miserable
sometimes.
Not so with the systematic grumbler.
No one offers him the tax of sympathy.
He does not want it, moreover. His
woes and grievances are his stock in
trade. 1t is an understood thing that
without them he would be very dull
fellow. AS it is, they save his reputa-
ton, and set the ball of small talk NOV
ing-no matter in what direction.

From Tho Springfield Union.

The PROVIDENCE News has made very
liberal offer to Rhode Island workingmen, and
one that should have excellent practical re-
suits. The plan Is outlined as follows:
The News proposes 20 send at its own ex-
pense n representative Rhode Island working
man 10 Great Britain 10 report upon the con-
dition of workingmen there. II will pay all
his expenses and furnish him with guide
books and all necessary information and as

some time In May and will have time enough
10 do a great deal of sightseeing besides inves-
tigating huts and novels and tenements.
England and Scotland are so compact that a
great deal of work and play, too, can be
crowded into trip OF fairly generous dura-
tion.

trip is left with the readers of the paper, the
only conditions being that he be one who

tent and willing 10 keep those who have
chosen him 10 represent them informed by

dition Of European workingmen has been de-
scribed frequently, but Il often happens that
reports are biased by the economic views Of
the writers. and the present plan should re-

others can depend upon as substantially accu-

Editors Of the Providence NssOs:
Any effort OF any undertaking that has for
its object the broadening of the mind aud the
exciting of a thirst for knowledge, is to be
commended. Travel, more than any other
thing, will accomplish these objects. and che
proposition of the News TO aid some one OF its
readers in the requirement of useful informa-
ton abroad. TO be disseminated among the
people of our State upon his return, appears
to be particularly interesting and laudsble.
II the fortunate individual is really fortu-
nate, l. e., IL he is the possessor Of An evenly
balanced mind and has sufYicient intelligence
to warrant the belief that he will present i'm
partial and readable pen-pictures of the result
of his enquiries and observations, then the en-
terprise of the News will surely not be in vain
it must be productive Of much good. / cer-
tainly trust that such will be the case.
