Laconio Letters.

Emile de Girardin and his wife lived
on the most unfriendly terms. Never
by any chance would the husband in
wade the apartments of his wife, all
communications being conducted by
letter. One day Madame de Girardin
had an important message to send to
her husband. Taking email sheet of
paper, she wrote: The bondoir to the IL

The Gameless Country.

The West Indian archipelago, with
It's four islands and numberless inlets,
is called the gameless country, because,
In q region of more than one hundred
thousand square miles, there are no
monkeys, no bears, raccoons, wild hog,
jsguars, pumas, panthers, lynx, wild
cats, foxes, wolves or jackals. There
is not even woodchuck to be dug out
of the many caves. On the highlands
there are no bisons, deer, antelope or
rabbits. Dogs and cats, too, are un-
known, and this lack of household pets
seems to have driven the aborigines to
expedients. for, in book called "Ogil-
vy's Voyages, there is story told of a
San Domingo native who keeps tame
msnatee, that made its headquarters in
Gn artificial pond and was so we'll
trained that when called by its name it
would come out of the water, go to a
natives house, and, after receiving
food, it returned to the pond, accom-.
panied by boys, who seemed to charm
it by singing, and often it carried two
children on its back. Its instinct was
wonderful. It was once struck by q

between Romeo and Juliet, and was aw-

Few instances Of modern industrial
growth in any one speciality are more sur
prising than that of the manufacture OF
artificial dyestuffs. In England, France,
Germany and some other countries, but es-
pecially in Germany, this industry has OBJ
tanned such prodigious growth that in
some cases the extensive works resemble a
small town or village. This appears from
the published statistics of one of these
plants, where are employed some 1900
workmen, fifty foremen, nine engineers,
besides eighty-six clerks and fifty-seven
chemists.
The works cover an area of 726, 900 square
yards, and from one end of the works to
the other the distance is $500 feet. Besides
a great variety of dyestuffs, the acids en-
ployed in their production are also manu-
factured, amounting in one year to 49,
10000 Kilograms OF sulphuric acid, H.
100000 of other acids and 1924, 900 Of coal
tar products. ts.-New York Telegram.

The tcrong pdy,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
curing it. The poisonous, irrita.
ting snuffs, strong caustic solutions,
creams" balms and the like may,
perhaps, palliate for q time. But
they may drive the disease to the
lungs, The wrong way is full of
danger.
The right way is n proved one.
It's with DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy. 1t cures, perfectly and per-
manently, by its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties,
the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh.
1t has proved itself right, thou
sands of times, when everything

willing to prove that it's the right

they'll pay you $500 in cash.
They mean it.
They're certain of their medi-

LEND YOUR CONSTITUTION AHANp.

Constitutions are much alike, and in
nine-tenthS of us the same causes produce
the same effects. Vertigo, dizziness or pain
of any kind, excepting that of an injury,
can come only when there is in our bodies
some impurity of the blood which we have
not sufficient vitality to throw off without
help. Therefore the proper thing TO do is
to get Immediately the necessary help. No
aid is so effective as BRANDRETH's Pills.
When you feel these ills coming on take
from three to ten of these pills, according
to your weight, and be relieved at once.
Never put off the feeling by thing you will
soon be over it. Take the pills and do not
rack the constitution.
