The scrong seay,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
caring it. The poisonous, irrita-
ting snuffs, strong caustic solutions,
Screams" balms and the like may,
perhaps, palliate for . time. But
they may drive the disease to the
lungs. The wrong way is full Of
danger.
The right way is . proved one.
It's with DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem.
edy. It cures, perfectly and per.
manently, by its mild, soothing
cleansing and healing properties,
the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh.
It has proved itself right, thou.
sands of times, when everything
else has failed.
And this makes its proprietors
willing to prove that it's the right
thing for you, no matter how bad
your case or Of how long standipg.
If they can't cure your Catarfh,
they'll pay you $500 in cash.
They mean it.
They're certain of their medi-
cine.

Iron Rolling.

An active competition has for long
time past been carried on among Eng
lish iron masters as to the degree Of
thinness to which cold iron could be
rolled. In one case the sheets have
been rolled to an average thickness or
thinness Of the eighteen-hundredth part
of an inch-in other words, eighteen
hundred sheets Of this iron, piled one
upon the other, would measure only ono
inch In thickness; and this marvellous
fineness Of work may be more readily
understood when the fact il borne in
mind that the great number of twelve
hundred sheets of the thinnest tissue
paper measures slight fraction over an
inch. 1t also appears that these won
derful iron sheets were perfectly smooth
and easy to write upon, notwithstand-
ing the fact of their being porous when
held up in strong light

HURRICANES AT WAR. :


Titanic Combats waged Between FIerss
~ West Indian Temp-sts.
We all remember Virgifs vivid de-
scription of the Cave of the Winds
where King Eolns sat on lofty throne
of rock, and with the waving of his
potent scepter Gained the fury of the
imprisoned tempests, roaring impa-
tiently around and round to find place
of Escape from their confinement until
at the command Of Juno he let Eurus
and Notus and Africus and kquilo-the
southeast wind, the south wind, the
southwest wind, and the north wind
loose to roll up the sea from its very
bottom, and overwhelm the ships of
Eneas.
This personification of the winds was
universal in ancient times, and curiously
enough, the modern science of meteoro-
logy seems to furnish some justification
for it There actually is kind of in
dividuality in winds and storms, and
sometimes they contend with one an
other in manner that would naturally
induce q lively imagination to liken
them to struggling giants of the air.
A striking instance Of ~he aversion
occasionally manifested between two
great circIing storms was furnished
at the end of last summer by the terri
BILE hurricane which DEVASTATED the ISL
and of Martinique ON the 2sth of August
and another hurricane which, having
on the day before I'assed Bermuda,
spent its fury in the middle of the At
lantic Ocean.
The ordinary course of a West India
hurricane is toward the northeast, up
along the United States coast. but Il
was noticed that the Martinique storm
abandoned the usual track, and moved
OF in an uncertain manner toward the
northwest finally dying away in tho
Gulf Of Mexico without getting out into
the Atlantic.
This extraordinary conduct and IL.
nominious ending of . hurricane that
had started with almost unexampled
strength and ferceness. is now ex-
planned by the fact that, in attempting
to move along the regular course toward
the northeast, It came into collision, 20
to speak, with the other hurricane, that
had passed east Of Bermids and was
lust crossing tbs usual track Of the
West India tempestA

With its trees so grand and old
Where the ripened fruit hung DER us

How I'd climb among the branches,
Though my head Id often rap,
Just to drop the rosy apples
From the tree into her lap.

in society circles.
Mrs. Gray is the heroine Of duel that
tween her present and former husband.
Mr.. GRAY ana Mr.. Hecksher were fast
friends, bnt he attentions of the latter to
Mrs. Gray became so distasteful to her

place in front of the Union Club in New

duel in Canada. near Rouse's Point.
Pistols were used. AT the signal to fire
Gray banged away. Hecksher re-
served his fire and, finding he
had not been hit, Hecksher fired his pis-
tol into the air. Gray would not consent to
reconcilial ion and later obtained divorce.
Yet, throughout all the scandal which the
proceedings at that time evoked Mrs.
Hecksher not only had the greatest faith
in her husbands honor, but also in that

Mrs. Gray is n daughter Of the late
William X. Travers, whose cottage here
is rented by the Hon. w. c. Whitney, ex-

Travers, and mt the entertainments given
in his honor Mrs. Gray moved among the
