These figures speak more eloquently

A Few Words on the
Different Stages
of Catarrh.

Catarrh is divided into three
distinct stages which all can com.
prchcnd and readily understand.
st. stage or Acute Catarrh.
In this you have the typical cold;
there is a little fever, the eyes
are red, the nose runs water,
sneellng is frequent, or if the
inflammation is all in the throat
YOU have the hoarsencss sore
throat etc This stage is very
much the same as the l.agrippe
and runs its course in few days
End. stage or sub-acute, known
as llypertrophlc Catarrh. In this
stage there is little if any sore
ness or pain and no fever, OBJ
structed breathing, partial closure
of one or both nostrils A stop
ped up stuify feeling in the head,
constant blowing of the nose OF
clearing up of the throat, partc-
ularly in the morning on rising.
If it is in the throat, then the
throat symptoms are the most
prominent easy to take cold, some
times dropping of mucous from
the back part OF the nose into the
throat. some persons, in this
stage of the disease, pass years
and do not know they have
Catarrh. This is particularly true
where the throat alone is affected.
II the disease is allowed to con.
tinuc, without treatment, i'll the
course of time the Catarrh as
sumcs the third stage, or
ATKOpHlC CATARRH
This is the last stage of Catarrh
where you have partial deafness,
loss of smell, an offensive dis
charge from the nose, the dis
charge may be from the nose, or
if the disease be far back, it may
drip into the throat There is no
difficulty in breathing in this stage
and the persons suffering from
this stage generally seek medical
advice for their deafness, and
when asked if they ever had
{ atarrh will remark that they did
have Catarrh at one time, but it
does not bother them now.
Gentle reader, let me implore
you if you have Catarrh not to
put off treatment until it reaches
this third and last stage; it is this
stage when you become dcspon-
dent, you seem dull because you
cannot hear your associates will
avoid you because your breath is

At Chickalliauga.

The terrific nature of the great strug
gle at Chickam 4uga may be illustrated
by the record of the 21st Ohio. In the
course Of the battle that regiment fired
43, 500 rounds of fixed ammunition, and
fought till its last shot was expended
1t suffered loss of one officer aud fifty
men killed, three officers and ninety eight
men wounded, and twelve officers and
one hundred and four men captured; yet
even such magnificent bravery as its men
exhibited could not suffice TO give vic
tory to the Union arms.
The total number of troops engaged
on either side in the battle has never been
satisfactorily determined. The total
strength of the army of Rosecrans was
from 81. 900 to s., 900 effective men, and
quite likely was not far from the first
named figure. Braggs force bias been
variously estimated as having been from
less than $4,000 to fully 10000. The
probabilities are that the two armies in
number were very evenly matched.
The losses of Rosecrans, in killed,
wounded and missing, were over 5000
men. The losses Of Bragg seem to have
been at least as heavy, for there was
terrific slaughter during his desperate at
tempts to drive Thomas from Horseshoe
Ridge. Were we to consider as accurate
the Federal estimate of the Confederate
loss, and the Confederate estimate of the
Federal loss, the figures would be very
greatly increased. Il Blue and Gray.

Toa1MY's TREE.

Tommy had seen men planting trees in
the avenue in front of grandpapa's
house, so he thought he would like to
plant one, too. He thought good place
to plant his tree would be behind the
yard gate where the other boys wouldn't
see it. So lie dug hole there with his
little spade When it was all ready he
began to look around for tree to put
in it. He tried to pull up young elm
in the garden, but it wouldn't come.
It was too big. But all the trees were
very hard to pull up At last, just when
Tommy was beginning to feel badly, he
wandered into the woodshed. There,
over in dark corner. his quick eyes
spied the very thing-a dear, dear little
tree that he could lift with one hand.
To be sure, it was only baby tree that
had lain here since the winter, and the
brown prickly leaves all fell off when
Tommy touched them, but he thought
that didn't matter, because new green
ones would be sure to come out directly.
So he chuckled with delight as he lifted
the little tree and carried it out in
triumph to the hole in the ground be-
hind the yard gate. 1t was lust jolly
fit, he said to himself as he shoveled
back the earth into tho hole and stamped

Recreation for Middle Age.

Mere walking exercise, although it is
invaluable, hardly fulfils the idea of per-
feet recreation. Why should the literary
man, the doctor, and the stock broker or
the merchant not play cricket after forty
five? What is to become of his dinner
hour, is it asked? If better luncheon
were taken at midday and lighter
dinner at six in the evening, there is no
reason whatever why a man of forty-five
and up to sixty-five or seventy should
not be in the cricket field at half past
seven, and play briskly until nine Or half
past. An hour and half at cricket
after a light dinner would make the
middle-aged men so young that they
would not know themselves. Writers
would write twice as brilliantly, and bust
ness men would be cleverer and kecner
by half.
AS it is, the average middle-aged En-
glishman of the professional and business
classes, grows fatter, wheeler, more pom
pous, and more dull and uninteresting
every year of his life. To get laugh
out of him is impossible; to crack joke
at his expense is to commit the unpar-
donable sin. "Poor old porpoise," as
somebody has called him. His innocent
pleasures have vanished with his youth,
and che has nothing now left to live for
but his responsibility, his solemn respect
ability, and his money-bags.' The con-
trast between the youthful Englishman
and his middle-aged parent is sometimes
startling. The former is all life
and fun; the latter is moving noun.
tain of ponderosity and fat. 1t is all for
want of outdoor exercise and recreation.
Twenty years ago the solemn father
of to-day was the fun-loving son of a
middle-aged father. If anybody had then
shown him in prophetic mirror the
figure he would cut at the end of a
quarter of a century, he would have
committed suicide in sheer vexation and
disgust. But all this rotundity, wheezi
ness, irritability of temper, incapacity
for work, and general disgust with life
and all things in it, can be cured, cured
easily, and cured for ever; and the cure
for the vast majority of cases Is one OF
two hours daily exercise and recreation
il the open air.-[London Hospital.

it down with his feet to make It firm.
Then ne ran into the house to tell
grandpapa and grandmama and his
aunties about his tree They all came
out to look at it, and said it was lovely;
and Tommy felt so pleased that he
promised, if apples grew on his tree, to
give them one apiece all round.
The next day Tommy went to look at
his tree to see if leaves had come out.
Not single one! Grandpapa said he
thought it must be because the place was
too shady, so Tommy pulled the tree up
again and set it in sunny spot under
the kitchen window
Il think that's better, gran'pa," he
said. as he rested from his labor.
Now it happened that for several days
after that the weather being wet,
Tommy did not 90 to his grandfathers.
But at last one morning the sun shone
out fine and bright, and the little fellow
thought he would run around to look at
his tree. Without saying word to any
one he let himself in by the yard gate,
and ran straight to the sunny spot under
| the kitchen window.
"Hurrah! Gran'pa. gran'pa. Come
| quick, come and see the lovely flowers
that's growed on my tree shouted
Tommy, his eyes sparkling as he clapped
his hands and fairly danced with joy
Grandpapa came out smiling, and sure
enough he saw that the dry and dusty
little tree was fairly covered with-what
do you think?-th most beautiful morn
ing -glories, white and blue an pink,
standing out from among their lovely
green leaves as if they were saying
Good morning to you.' 1t was Won
derful Tommy was as proud and happy
as could Dc AS he was a very polite
and thoughtful little boy he plucked one
of the pretticst blossoms grandmamma,
and carried it carefully into the house.
Tommy's grandmamma and grand papa,
who were very fond of their little boy,
were pleased to see him SO happy about
his tree, and promised, when he was not
there, to let no one hurt or interfere with
it, But one day, when no one was
looking, Pretty, the white kitten got to
PLAYING with the branches, and alas
when she was found out she mad de,
stroyed all the sweet flowers and leaves
of the morning glories. This was toe
bad. Tommy felt it very much but
then. do you know. the strangest thing
happened. One day, shortly after,
grandpapa told him to 90 and look at
his tree, AMI there on the top branch
hung big ripe yellow banana. This
was even better than morning glories.
Tommy plucked the fruit and found
it delicious And, ever since, from time
to time when Tommy visits his tree, he
finds the most delightful surprises.
Sometimes it is an orange, sometimes an
apple, or a bunch of grapes that grows
on it in single night, and though there
are never any leaves on the bare dry
branches, Tommy doesn't mind, because,
being not quite five years old yet, he still
thinks things to eat are nicer than things
to look at. Now wouldn't all the little
tots like to have tree like Tommy's?
Perhaps if they DO as he did they will
meet with the same success. -LOncc a
