Catarrh, Not Local But
Constitutional

DIR. bio Lewis. the eminent Boston
physician, in a magazine article says:
"a radical error underhes nearly ali
N 3ical treatment OF catarrh. 1t is
not 81 disease of the mans nose; it is a
disease of the man, showing itself in the
nose-a Local exhibition of a C0nStitu-
tlonaL trouble. > Therefore, he argues,
the use of snuff aud other application is
wrong. and while they seem to give tenn
porary relief. they really do more harm
than good. Other leading authorities
agree with Dr. Lewis. Hence, the only
proper method of cure for catarrh is by
taking constitutionalremedy like Hood
Sarsaparilla, which, reaching every
part of the body through the blood, does
eliminate all impurities aud makes the
whole man healthier. 1t removes the
cause of the trouble and restores the di-
seased membrane to proper condition

been cured of catarrh by taking Hood

ried two dusky savages, he escaped and
returned home after an absence of six
years. His wife was at grand ball with
his father and mother. He hastily dressed
and followed them, impatient to meet his
wife. He found her in white silk dress,
like the style above mentioned, and his
blinded eyes could not see that all others,
even his mother. were dressed the same.
He turned and left the place and never re
turned to his home again. History does
not follow his footsteps further, but he
probably went back to the savages. The
young wife had not realized what change
fashion had undergone, from voluminous
hoops to scanty slips, and she had but fol-
lowed the current
Some of the street dresses at that period
were OF very transparent texture, but IL
did not seem peculiar as the changes had
been gradual. So fashion is always, and
we should take lesson by the past and be
slow at least to adopt radical changes, at
any rate while our husbands are away
A pretty ball dress of today is of silk
faille in two different colors, resada green
and rose leaf pink. The breadths are cut
narrow at the top and widen out, each al
ternate width OF different color and
piped with a fiat black velvet piping
Around the bottom is u narrow black
feather trimming. The waist and sleeves

lice drapery. There is row of feather

Tangago, the Chippewas, came from the
north and pitched their tepees on the mol h
shore of the lake. They had reason to ! e.
lieve that the Sioux were encamped on the
southern shore, and they planned to cross
to the south before daylight and surprise
their traditional enemies. The Sioux had
a similar thought and design, and each
tribe proceeded to eXterminate the other.
They met in about the middle of the lake
and fought, and all were lost The time is
not fixed except that the incident marks
an epoch in the history of both tribes.
Another battle was fought afterward on
the south shore between other contingents
of those respective tribes. The Chippewas
came in canoes from the north as before
This was in 1867. The Chippewa warriors
were all slain but one man, who returned
badly wounded and riddled. The fatalities
connected with the lake and the apparitions
gave rise TO the name Minnewaukan, or
spirit water, mysterious water, haunted
water, fated water, and finally to DEVILS
lake as the only English equivalent for the
| Indians idea as expressed in Minnewaukan.
The Chippewas came here in canoes. The
Sioux also used canoes With but few
portages, the former could easily at that
| time, while the lake was SO far above its
present level, come from Lake Superior to
| DEVILS lake. Since the fatalities related
| those Indians have a superstitious dread of
canoes. Young people are getting over the
dread, but old Indians will wade to their

A Nineteenth Century Gambia.

The famous sorceress Gambia, i'm
moralized in the Epodes and Satires Of
Horace, seems to have left descendants
in the Italy Of the present day, if we
may trust narrative which reaches US
from Montelepre, in Sicily. The
agricultural poor of that island-with
the doubtful exception of those of
Sardinia-are, mentally and educa-
tionally, the most backward in the
Italian kingdom. Rather than call in
a medical man in cases Of illness they
infinitely prefer the local witch, who, if
patients mean fees, must have rela-
lively lucrative practice. No amount
of failure seems to shake the popular
belief in the efficacy of such praCti-
TONERS, and strong, indeed, must that
belief be which can survive such tragic
misadventures as the following:
A poor girl in her seventeenth year,
subject to neurotic disease inducing
convulsive movements of the body as
perturbation of the mind, was at once
pronounced to be possessed of an evil
spirit. A witch who was called in
confirmed the popular diagnosis" an.
nounced the source from which the
spirit came, took stock of its qualities
and its strength, and appointed the
18th ult.-the feast of the Madonna Of
mid Augustus the day on which she
would relieve the girl of her tormentor.
True to time the Cicilian Gambia
appeared on the scene, caused suttl-
cient quantity of water for bath to bt
procured, and proceeded to boil 1t.
throwing in from time to time hand
full of herbs. When the bath was pro.
nounced to be ready the girl was put
into it, while some of her relatives
stood by and set fire TO about half d
pound of incense, the fumes of which
they forced the girl to inhale by en-
veloping the bath and herself in it witt
a sheet. For two hours the unfortu.
nate victim had to undergo this ordeal,
in spite of her protests that she was
being suf Gated and ultimately of her
fainting. THIS latter phenomen1 n,
however, seemed to have sdm nished
the witch that the creme dy' had lasted
long enough; so the girl, st Il unc"n-
scIous, was removed to b, d, where sh,
breathed her last on the following day
Her agonizing struggles to dIsengage
herself from the hot bath and the fumes
of the incense were, 1t turned out,
ascrbed by the witch to the conflict
between the forza terabenttca (the
therapeutic agenD and the evil spirit
which, like most intruders of the kind,
withstood "eviction" to the bitter end,

The very newest OF this autumn's output
Of dress goods is leaf out Of the past.
There are twills diagonal and plain, where
there are two distinct colors, so that as the
folds move the color changes. There are gold
upon blue, red and blue, yellow and black,
yellow and brown and green, with all sorts
of colors for the underlying shade. Think
the browns with red or yellow will be the
most popular. Brown in all the snuff shades
are seen as the standard new color and rich
puppies and prunes come next. Brown as
q color has been out for many years, but is
now decidedly in.
The snowflake and 6ecked effects are be-
coming very popular, and perhaps more of
them are being purchased for fall than
any other line of goods. The large plaids
where the figure is broken and vague are
already in vogue There is a new colored
, corded cloth with pinhead squares raised
on the surface of some contrasting color
Magenta is a color that goes well with
many of the new colors, and the dots or un-
DERIVING cords are often of that shade
Cashmeres or magenta. with black polka
dots either singly or in clusters, are seen,
and these will be made up for house dresses
and for children.
There is a peculiarly warm tint in this
seasons browns. Some of them are Just
the shade of the sunspots on the tobacco
leaves, and from that to havana brown and
then to the light and after dark snuff brown.
Some of the new silks have stripes made of
the different shades of brown, others Of
gray and Others in the seasons colors.
Some are still seen in rainbow stripes, but
not very many, and these will be worn as
| dancing dresses or as trimmings.
| Some of the velvets are the richest posi-
BILE for looms to produce. They are seen in
browns, blues, greens, puppies and black,
and cloaks will be made of them for those
who can afford them. Full suits of velvet
will also be worn for ceremonious occa-
sions, such as high teas, afternoon visits
and in fact all social functions where rich
costume is permissible.
| notice good deal of raised hand en-
broidery done on the new plush and velvet
capes and cloaks, and on the handsome new
broadcloth tailor suits. This cannot be
done by machine and therefore is always a
superb trimming that shows its money
value at a glance.
There are new gloves, made without
stitching of any sort on the back. They
really fit the hand better, but do not look
so trim as those with stitching do. Gauntlet

A Curious Coincidence,

William r. Wilson, who lived at Horton,
Kan, applied about year ago for pen
sion for a wound in the left knee, received
at Thompson's Station while he was a
member of an Illinois regiment. The de-
partment found on investigation that an
other William II. Wilson was drawing a
pension for n similar injury and for serv-
ices in the same company and regiment.
Mr.. Austin followed Wilson to Rulo, Neb.
where he is now living, and found that his
description was exactly similar to that of
the Illinois pensioner. Without making
known his business he questioned Wilson,
who proved beyond a doubt that he had a
cousin in the same company bearing the
same name, of the same age and descrip-
ton and wounded in the same part of the
