Catarrh starts in the nasal passages, affect
ing the eyes, ears and throat, and in feet, the
great enemy of the mucous membrane. Ne
elected colds in the head almost invariably
precede catarrh, causing an excessive flow OF
mucus, and if the mucous discharge becomes
interrupted the disagreesble results of catarrh
will follow, such as bad breath, severe pain
across forehead and about the eyes, a roaring
and buzzing sound In the ears and oftentimes
q very offensive discharge. Ely's Cream Balm
is the acknowledged cure for these troubles.

Gowns in Wool Checks

Some Of the prettiest costumes OF
wool SEN ovcr by Doucet are in checks,
which take the place of the check silks.
The skirt is severely plain, tiaring de
cidelly mt the bottom, where it is fin
ished by a band of jet galoon. The
huge sleeves are of the checked wool,
finished by IL narrow band Of sable ut
the waist. The bodice as far as the
bust line is Of plaid wool edged with
fur at the top. and tapping diagonally
across the front, caught down by three
large c%arbochons or small h%cmispheres
Of jet %spanglcs. The upper part Of the
bodice is Of liberty satin. which is now
made Mt Lyons. A touch Of this bril-
liant satin. which comes in all the dull
artistic colors as well rs in rich cos
tunes. 1t is an appropriate trimming
for children's and young ladies' dresses
quite superscding MORE for that pur-
pose, though the ma1ron will be likely
to select IL richer fabric like velvet or
MORE. The carbochons Of jet on this
dress are especially noteworthy. They
average an inche and a half in dame
ter. and are used not only as ornaments
taking the place of buttons on h front
of the dress. but also on hats. These
cabochons may be formed either Of jet
or of the new Strauss diamonds.
which are far more brilliant and far
more expensive than rhinestones.

Get Even With Germany.

Washington, tov. 6.-The embargo
which Germany has just placed
against American cattle may have a
sequel which the German authorities
have not anticipated. viz: an investi-
CATION as 10 the slanders and the dis
ease known as horse syphilis, with
which German horses brought to this
country are affected. Secretary Nor
ton called attention in his last report
to the lack of inspection of horses
coming from abroad and suggested
that it would be we'll to provide for
quarantining horses. At that time
there vas such comfy between this
country and those of Europe in the
shipment of live stock that the horses
inspection was not urged. Now, how
ever, with Germany closing her ports
against American cattle, the secre-
tary's suggestion of protection against
diseased horses becomes pertinent.

The Rlack Dinner Gown.

The black dinner gown. whether 1t
be plain velvet or some Of the richly
figured materials, is always in good
taste. and the woman wearing Il we'll
made black gown Of suitable material
is properly dressed for the most ella
borate function. Elderly ladies have
long ago concluded that nothing is SO
becoming Or so suitable as black velvet,
made to look even more elegant by the
use Of fine lace, and. SO, very. many OF
them adhere strictly to gowns OF it,
and very often to one style Of making
the princess. Dame fashion has or
dcred that black satin is suitable to all
ages and conditions for a dinner dress.
and SO combined with lace or made
harmonious with color 1t is very gener-
ally seen. Jackets richly embroidered
with gold are liked for yea over q
black satin gown, and one will tend to
make it look very rich. A woman
who goes out a great deal. and always
looks we'll, has had five different bod.
ices. made to wear with her black satin
skirt. and she expects to be considered
a w~ell-dresscd woman ut every dinner
party which she attends during the sea-
son..

How Gunpowder Helped to : Plant

How GunpOwder Helped to Plant
Trees ON u Rocky CraE.
Alexander Hasmyth, the landscape
painter, was a man fruitful in eXpe-
dents. To his mind. the fact that a
thing could not be done in the 0rdin-
airy manner was no reason why it
should be given up. His o relates
the following interesting example of
his ingenuity.
The Duke of Athol, says he, consulted
him as to some Improvements which
he desired to make in his woodland
scenery near Dunkeld. Among other
things, a certain rocky crag needed to
be planted with trees. to relieve the
grim b%arrenness of its appearance.
The question was how to do it, as 1t
was impossible for any man to climb
the crag, in order to set seed or
plants in the cleft of the rocks.
A happy idea struck my father. Hav-
ing observed in front Of the castle q
pair of small cannons, used for firing
salutes on great days, it occurred to
him to turn them to account. A tin
smith in the village was ordered to
make a number of canisters with COW
ers. The cannisters were filed with all
sorts of suitable tree seeds. The can
mons were loaded and the caIist.rs
were fired up against the high face of
the rock. They burst and scattered the
seed In I'LL directions. Some years nf-
ter, when my father revisited the place
he was delighted to see that his
scheme of planting by artillery had
proved successful; the trees were
fourishing in all the recesses Of the
rock.-L0ndon Answers.

Feeding Ensilnee to sheep.

Feeding EnsilnEe to sheep.
Sheep are delicate feeders and will
reject anything that is not perfectly
sweet. They sniff at ensilagc, and If
in any large quantity they will eat very
little and then reject the remainder
Only a very little at first should be
given to them, and. after they have
eaten it all, change the food to clover
hay. In this way Il habit OF liking en-
silage will be formed. But it is hope
less to expect sheep to eat the butts OF
corr stalks as a cow will when they
come from the silO.
