CATARRH. Not Local. But CONsTITU-
TIO\AI-.

TIONAL.
Dr. Bio Lewis, the eminent Boston
physician. in a magazine article saws
"A radical error underlies nearly all
medical treatment of catalrh, 1t is
not a disease OF the mans nose it is
a disease Of the man. showing itself
in the nose-a Local exhibition Of a
Constitutional trouble" Therefore
he argues. the use OF snuff and other
local applications is wrong, and while
they seem to give temporary relief,
they really do more harm than good.
Other leading do more harm than
good. Other leading authorities agree
with DR.. Lewis. Hence the only prop
er method cure for cltarrh is by taking
a constitutional remedy like Hood :
Sarsaparilla, which, reaching every
part of the body through the blood
does eliminate all impurities and
makes the whole man healthier. 1t
removes the cause of the trouble and
restores membrane to proper condi-
ton. That this is the practical re-
TUT is proven by thousands of people
who have been cured of catarrh b.
taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

The social club gave last night the
second of series of hops to be given
this winter at the hail. 1t proved as
usual a delightful affair. Music was
furnished by the ST. Anthony Hill or
chestra, and at II o'clock refres hing
viands were served. A great many
guests from st. Paul and also st. Paul
Park contributed to the enjoyment of
all.
The annual Christmas celebration of
ST. Marks Sunday school took place
Wednesday evening. Instead of tree,
this year it was in the form of Jacobs
ladder" beautifully decorated, which
the little ones thoroughly enjoyed. Rev.
G. d. Andrews added very much to the
enjoyment Of all by his welcome and
genial presence.
The Evening Euchre club met last
Wednesday with Mrs. j. G. Poore, and

stein even cheered up Mary Maedalen,
who was very much depressed aud far
from sober. He had kind word and a
silver quarter for each one of the vic.
tins. No wonder the air was rent with
vivas for Rosenstein. The result was a
Waterloo for poor Cody. In vain did
his friends endeavor to stem the tide of
Mexican indignation. Gratitude is the
redeeming trait of the Mexican voters.
They regarded Rosenstein as their
Moses. Fhe Three Wise Men from the
East, mounted on sore-back ponies,
secured the suburbs for voters for ROs-
enstein. They enthusiastically obeyed
the injunction to go out into the high
ways and byways and compel them to
come in. The Three Wise Men from
the East displayed such wonderful act
tivity that one of the Cody faction was
sure that there must be at least fifteen
of them.
st. Peter did not precisely raise the
dead, but he did something very much
like 1T. lie voted scores of live Mex
leans under the names of men who
had been dead twenty years-an old
election trick at which he was an ex-
pert. ar
The Angel Gabriel appeared mvster-
iously to doubtful voters, and voted
them early and often for Rosenstein. nj
The Mexican friends of Cody were
successfully tempted by Satan to vote
and work for Rosenstein. The lame
and the halt were not miraculously
made to take up their beds and walk,
but st. John the Baptist, who owned a
hack. put them into it. drove them to
the polls and voted them for Rosenstein.

MAIL 4 L. NOR.

What Soldiers of Old Wore for
Th cir Bodily Protection.
Westminster Review.
The covering for the body in time Of
war usually consisted OF ordinary gar
ments very thlckly quilted. or covered
with small rings of metal seWed upon
the inside.
The quilted material deadened to a
considerable extent the force of a blow,
and the rings made it very difficult for
the lance or sword to penetrate. There
seems to be some ground for believing
that small discs of horn or bone were
sometimes Sewed upon garments for
similar purpose; but this is not abso-
lutely certain, for we have only the rep
RESERVATIONS in Examinations to Judge
by, and it is not always easy to tell ex-
actly what was meant 10 be depleted.
The mail armOr varied much as to the
manner in which the rings were affixed
to the surface that they were intended
to protect; in some instances they seem
to be sewn on at one edge only, in rows,
and so to overlap each other: III others
they do not overlap. and in yet other
cases they are linked together after the
manner i'll which purses used to be
made OF small steel rings. The last
form of mail was certainly the strongest
and most perfect.and if the iron or steel
links were well made it would require
Skillful blow from sword or lance 10
penetrate through them. and even then
the weapons would have to be of uuus-
ually we'll tempered metal.
There was considerable variety in
helmets and shields at different times
during this period. We find the kite
shaped shield in the Bayeux tapestry,
but later it became shorter and wider;
the round Saxon shield, sometimes made
of wood alone, sometimes covered with
BULBS hide, fingered for long time, and
for men-at-arms this shape was retained
nearly as long as the use of the shield
continued.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-12-31

Roman centurion executed song and
dance movement that was not down on
the programme. However. the play
got fairly under way without any
more bad breaks, until st. Peter
caught Satan making love to Mary
Magdalen. This was not i'll the play,
whereupon st. Peter, who was Mary
Magdalen's husband in private life,
knocked off one of Satan's horns with
back-handed blow from his sword.
The An gel Gabriel. who was personal
friend of Satan, promptly gave the ag-
greSSfve apostle free ride on the prov
of his boot, but was in turn foored
by a vicious left-hander from
Pontius Plate. In the twinkling of
an eye, angels. saints. Satan and the
apostles were all piled upon each other,
biting, fighting, swearing, and the audi
ence was treated to tableau almost
identical with the storm center of a
collegiate football match. The air was
filled with yells, cries of pain and
chunks of crude Spanish profanity,
above all of which could be heard the
hoarse believing of the Angel Gabriel,
from whose leg dangled Satan, who
came very near biting a sample the size
of frog out of the heavenly visitor.
There happened to be on duty in the
tent stalwart Irish policeman named
John Fitzhenry. When John remon-
strated with Mexican il meant six
weeks in the hospital with careful nurs-
ing. He was unawed by the sacred
titles of the august personages. In about
minute anu half he had Gabriel and
Satan in the street on the road to the
jail, when he was overtaken by the
rest of the company. headed by one of
the Magi, who was noted tough
in private life. They attempted to
rescue the prisoners, and then there
was a second edition of the football
tabLeau, Fitzhenry's brother policemen
came to his rescue. and the result was
that all the Thespians were locked up,
| except Judas, who profited by the oc-
| casiOn to elope with the gate money.
Both candidates were out of town
when this fraeas occurred. They were
hunting up votes in the adjoining coun-
| ties with which to flood the town on
election day. This was not legal,
strictly speaking, but there was no
| registration IN those primitive days, and
SO everything went.
| Next morning the prisoners were ar
raigned before Mayor Rosenstein. His
| honor did not present an imposing ap-
pearance on the bench. He was very
| short, and as broad as he was long. He
was not pretty to look at. but he was a
terror to plan, as we will see pretty
. soon.
| Policeman Fitzhenry went on the
