Backed sp by cash offer-the state
ments that are made by the proprietors
of Doctor Sage's Catarrh Remedy. They
say that their medicine will cure, per-
fectly and permanently, the worst case
of Chronic Catarrh in the Head, all the
troubles that come from it, and everything
catarrhal in its nature, are cured by the
mild, soothing, cleansing and healing
properties of their remedy.
They can't say any more. Probably
every medicine for Catarrh claims as
much. But it's one thing to promise
cure-it's very different thing to per-
form it. The proprietors of Dr. Sage's
Remedy want to prove that they mean
what they say. So they make this offer:
If they can't cure your Cstarrh, no mat
ter how bad your case or Of how long
standing, they'll pay you $500 in cash
You're sure Of the money or cure. Isn't
such medicine worth tryiugi

soon be one of his best boys. A few
days ago the boy was sent with ''rush''
message to firm whose office was ON
the fifth floor. of large building ON
Broad street. The little fellow returned
even sooner than was expected, and the
clerk complimented him on his speedV
delivery OF the message.
But" said the boy, II did not deliver
the message"
What" said the clerk; "why not?m
"Ihe elevator is broke and Won't be
fixed before noon. and l did not want to
wait, for l thought you would rather
nave me here where | can be of some
use.''
Inc boy is now looking for another
position, much to his own surprise.

 The country surrounding me was mar velously attractive, although only sand very sparsely covered with bush, therefore totally useless for agricultural or pastoral purposes, but through the flat veldt's sur face, at irregular intervals, rose copies of immense blocks of stone, piled one upon the other, that resenbled the debris that might have been left after Titans had built gigantic city or mammoth fortiica- | tion These eruptions from beneath the earth's surface were covered with parasitic \ plants, decorated with most attractive fruit or gorgeous blossoms. A species of \ aloe, too, was numerous, the upright stem 4 which bears its feecy flower having a very striking resemblance to civilizstion's un- slightly telegraph poles.
 This country is not destitute of water, \ as is attestsd by the numbers of baboons, Il monkeys and leopards that frequent the

new and interesting industry. It is said that the quantity of volatile oil, the basis of floral essences, which plants yield may be increased by cultivation. The pro- jectors of this proposed industry have de- cided to make an early experiment of raising the most fragrant blossoming plants, among which are roses, pinks, violets, heliotrope, lilies of the valley, hon eysuckle, orange blossoms, hlacs, etc. A sweet idea.
 The anti-slavery societies of Europe are talking of an exhibition at the Chicago fair which they think will help their cause. The proposal is to show all the instruments used in the capture, control and guarding of the slaves.

In making the bell the jinglet' is put inside little ball of mud, just the shape of the inside of the bell. Then mould is made just the shape of the outside of the bell. This mud ball with "the jinglet' inside is placed in the mould of the outside, and the metal is poured in, which fills up the space between the ball and the mould. When the mould is taken off you see sleigh-bell, but it will not ring, as it is full of dirt. The hot metal that the bell is made of dries the dirt so that it can be shaken out. After the dirt is all shaken out of the holes in the bell the little iron 'jinglet' will still be in the bell and will ring. It took good many years to think out how to make sleigh-bell"
