He Did Not Call.

The man who tried DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, and was sure of the $500 re-
ward offered by the proprietors for an
incurable case, never called for his
money. Why not? o, because he got
cured F.! He was sure of two things O
That his catarrh could not be cured. (2)
That he would have that $500. He is
now sure of one thing, and that is, that
his catarrh is gone completely. So he is
out $500, of course. The makers Of DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy have faith in
their ability to cure the worst cases Of
Nasal Catarrh, no matter of how long
standing, and attest their faith by their
standing reward of $500, offered for
many years past, for an incurable case
of this loathsome and dangerous disease.
The Remedy is sold by druggists, at only
DO cents. Mild, soothing, cleansing
deodorizing, antiseptic, and healing.

Graphic Sketch Of the People I'm y Well
~. M "A l1os

Graphic Sketch Of ths People I'm y Wen.
Governed dFrench-Canadian village
In the quiet village, where the good
cure word is law, there is likely to be
little brawling and less drinking, for
the French-Canadians are neither
quarrelsome nor incorporate. There
may be tavern, or perhaps two tav-
erns, where not only guests are re-
oeived, but where liquor is sold, but
the cure sees to it that they are closed
very early in the evening. Long before
midnight the streets Of the place are
deserted, and q late wanderer need
have no fear Of drunken hoodlums. A
well-governed French-Canadian vii
lage, where the cure is thoroughly re-
spected because of his wisdom and
piety, affords decided contrast to
many rural communities in English
Canada and on our own side of the bor-
der.
The people are not enterprising. At
least this seems to be true of all but a
few exceptions. They are content to
take what comes in their way, with
the happy faith that the morrow will
bring with it its daily bread. They
are averse to breaking in new lands,
and, as the families are large, the
division of the farms generation after
generation finally results in such small
portions that some of the children
must seek employment elsewhere If all
are to live. Very few of them are
willing to go to the new lands of Man
itoba and the northwest, but they find
congenial occupation In the cities.
They are admirable mechanics and
are most loyal and devoted servants,
says Henry Loomis Nelson, tn Harper's
Magazine.
The Scotchman or Englishman who
is at the head of q great establishment
prefers the French Canadians to his
own countrymen as subordinates. He
will tell you that the Frenchmen will
remain with him all their lives; that
no such thought as seeking new en-
ployment or leaving the old for the
purpose Of engaging in ventures fol
himself will ever enter French-Cana'
dian's head. He will stay by his old
employer all his life, and his son will
succeed to his own or better place in
the service of the house. On the Other
hand, the Englishman or Scotchmar
will take the first opportunity to &C
into business for himself, and will use
his employment as q stepping-stone te
something better.

MARRIAGE IN THE ORIENT.

Wives In Turkey, In Persia and In Thibet-
Plurality OF spouses.
In Persia it is an almost invariable
custom to choose a wife from among
ones relations, such as cousins in .
near or remote degree, and only among
acQuaintances when failure has oc-
CURED in following the old habit. The
Hebrews especially sanctioned plu-
rality Of wives according to the law Of
Moses, and that shows how thought
full they were Of the future Of their
race-so much 80 that sterility in .
wife was considered sufficient reason
for contracting another marriage.
The lot of Turk who has to bear
the whims and caprices Of his numer-
ous wives is anything but an enviable
one, says the Pail Mall Budget. Tho
harem is not, as many persons suppose
it is, a building wherein all Turks
wives live together. Each legitimate
wife of pasha has q separate dwell
ing, her own cook. her own coachmen
in a word, her own separate house.
hold. True 1t is that all the dwellings
are inclosed within one surrounding
wall, and frequently they arc beneath
one roof, as is the case in our modern
hats, but nevertheless the isolation is
complete among the wives.
The etiquette among Turkish ladies
is somewhat complicated and the sys-
tenn is hierarchical, the favorite exer-
cising an undisputed authority owe
the others. In the sultan's harem the
supreme authority is vested in his
mother, who takes the title of sultana
valide, and she alone is entitled to go
to and fro in the harem unveiled. 1t
is only when she goes out that she
wears the yashmak. At the present
time the veil used by Turkish ladies
is no longer what it was. Its trans
parency admits of pretty face being
easily outlined. When the yashmak
is very thick one may conclude that
the lace it hides is not very seductive.
In spite of the progress of civilization
and the consequent transformation of
habits and customs in many countries
the position of woman in Turkey has
only slightly changed; it is only in ex-
ceptional cases that those belonging
to the higher classes are unaccom-
| panied out of doors by eunuchs.
These are the cadines, who have
adopted and follow the Paris and Lon
don fashions, and it has even been
whispered that there are mysterious
designations in the shops Of the grand
bazar at Constantinople, where some
ladies spend good deal of their time
ON the plea that they have numerous
purchases to make.
In Thibet they reverse the order OF
things, for In thst country it is not un
usual To see woman married to plu
rslity Of husbands, sometimes two OF
mono chosen from among .her cousins
