CATARRH.

Catarrh is usually applied to @ peculiar dis order Of the nostrils and adjacent parts, while in fact it may attack every organ in the body, containing mucous membrane, CataTrh may then be said to be a disease of the mucous membranes of the body. The most prominent feature however is a morbid discharge from the head, either by the nosrrils or a dropping into the throat. At first there is almost 8 constant flow of clear aerid fluid, but later on there is secreted an offensive, purulent, greenish or yellOwish matter In o hers there is & tough viscid and offensive pblegm. which collects be- hind and above the soft palate and which ad- hers with glueish tenacity.
 In some there is thick viscid, slimy secretion which coats over the membrane of the nasal cavities and then putrefes giving rise to stench sufficiently fetd to poison the at- mosphere of & whole room. In other cases all feeling of dryness, heat and feverishness in the head and nose condition known as ''Dry Cat arrh.' The disease speedily extends to the air cavities of the bones of the head and face and down past the nasal cavity into the throat, causing frequent attempts to clear the parts of phlegm producing the sound ''hem," more or less forcibly. In this manner the ditbculty spreads from organ to organ invading the throat, larynx. trachea and bronchial tubes un- til it finally reaches the lungs.
 Thus Catarrh becomes the starting point of consumption development the disease being eventually transmitted to the lungs, both by nervous connection and continuity of surface. So frequently has this fatal course been nO- sant with the subject now look upon Catarrh as a premonition and one of the very earliest manifestations of consumption.

AN EARLY CALL.

He proposed to her in the conserva- tory after supper; he did not go down on his knees or declare that life would be nothing to him without her, but he told her, simply and earnestly, that she was very dear to him; that he had always loved her, and that as his wife it would be his care to guard her from the worlds rude buffetings. "1 think could make you happy" he said. II am not as clever as some of the men you know, but love you"
 ''Yes," she murmured; ''I know you love me-you have always been good to me; you must know-you must feel that I appreciate it. It touches me to have you care for mel wish I could make you understand that 1 am grate- full"
 ''Grateful! But why should you be? Could help loving you? Could l know you and not care for you? You are so unlike other women. so free from envy and petty malice. I have watched you with your girl friends-I have seen you do many a kindness that you thought nobody knew anything about. I think it was your goodness. that charmed me first"
 She looked up-was he really in earnest?
 Don't praise me-" she said; ''com- pliments from other men are well enough, but not from you"
 ''Is it a compliment to tell you what I think? And it seems to me I have said so little. An, if you could know what is in my heart-but no doubt, 5 as she made an impatient movement, you have heard all this before-a twice-told story wearies. What can i say to win you-you who are so used to being loved? To another woman 1 might speak of my wealth, of all that I could give her, but not to you.'
 ''You think too well of me-" she broke in.
 No, Edith-I understand you-and that is why l want you all for mine, to have and to hold, to love and to cher ish; say that you like me little, that you will be my wife"
 She leaned toward him, the words that would send him from her, and end forever the friendship that had become part of her life, were trembling on her lips, when he, guess ing her intention, perhaps, said, hur- riedly: Some one is coming-your German partner, I think. Don't an swer me now; later on will do as well. ;
 She breathed freely. It was natural for her to postpone unpleasant things ito put off the evil day as long as possible.

 She pinned the heartsease in the lace at her throat, cast parting glance at the mirror and started down the stairs.
 As she reached the lower hall the front door opened and servant ad- mitted girl in gray with bunch of roses thrust into her huff.
 Why, Edith," she said rapidly. "1 never thought to find you down so early. If you are going out don't let me keep you"
 T am not going out; come into the sitting room and get warm" "No, I won't sit down. I only want to see you a moment. l came to ask you to join our house party-there will only be eight of us, the same old crowd we had last year."

If I remember rightly, she was nice little 1 thing"
 "Nice? Heavens! Fancy Charlie's coming to actually to marrying a nice girl! His best enemy couldn't wish him worse luck. He has disap- pointed me dreadfully.

 "What a strong wind there is draw up your wraps. Good-by and again thank you for thinking of me-
 The front door slammed and Edith stood moment in the hall, gathering courage for what was to come: then she turned and went into the library.
 Manning, who was standing at a distant window, came forward at her entrance.
 T am afraid I kept you," she said, giving him a trembling hand, "but I was detained by an early calf from a friend"
 "An early call," he repeated; ''then what do you think of me?''
 "Ah, but I told you to come; that is altogether different. 1 wanted you.
 "You wanted me?" he cried eagerly; ''my darling, may interpret that after my own fashion? Do you really care for me a ittle?"
 She could not speak, but for answer she came to him, laying her beautiful head on his breast.
 'Love me-" she whispered, passion ately; ''only love me, and you can make of me what you will"
 "Do you know" he said to her, about an hour later, tat first you frightened me, but when you didn't say No at once, I began to hope. knew it wasn't like you to keep me in suspense-you are too true of heart for that"

OUR MODE OF CURING CATARRH

The applications are made to reach every part of the diseated surface in the most direct and positive manner; instantly penetrating every cell and cavity of the head communicating with the nostrils. in this manner we have treated the most obstinate cases of Catarrh with com plete success, after all other attempts have failed. We care not how long the disease may have continued, or from what cause it did arise. Every case of Catarrh is curabls.

THE BANKING SYSTEMS.

1t is interesting to note the real
points of difference existing between
the "wild cat' banking system,s the
national system, and the system just
put forth by the present administra-
ton at Washington. Almost every
bank had, under the old system of
state banks and "wild cat'' currency,
it's own plates for six or more denom
nations of notes, the land was full Of
counterfeits and alterations, and no
business man ventured to accept a
bank note not we'll known to him with
out previous comparison with a de-
tector. In 1852 there were counter
feits on the notes of 253 banks, besides
1861 bills initiated and 1865 entirely
spurious notes. On the best notes
there was a discount in the business
centers Of from 1 to 10 or even Is per
cent; and exchange was more varia-
BILE than the weather. The cred dog''
and "wild cat'' banks of Michigan and
other Western states, says the Inter-
national Cyclopedia, were notoriously
unsafe. A dozen of them would club
together to make show for one only,
when the examiner came along, and
the same specie would be an hour in
advance of him all along his route.
The cred dog" bank was SO called be-
cause of it's movable nature and of
the color stamped on it's notes. Els
tablished in one place on Monday, the
"banker" might pack his carpet bag
at night and on Tuesday open his
bank fifty miles away; in which case
he stamped in red ink on the face of !
his notes the name of the place in |
which the banking house was last es-
Buffalo Nea0s.
Nearly every barn that burned this
winter in Vermont has it's destruction
attributed to lantern that burst or
broke. What's getting into Lanterns
They are harmless enough
about the house, but the moment they
get into hay loft they seem possess
ed of an evil spirit that is not salts
fed until a confagration is started.
1t would be worth the while of the
various insurance companies to in
vestigate this puzzling question and
invent a lantern sufficiently safe to
trust about barns. The deadly varie
5y ought to be stamped out at short
notice.-Ldndnlark.

The artistic woman is turning her
art toward the improvement of her own
party gowns. If she is in truth an
artist, the gown here described may be
attempted. Cream-white satin, war
ranted to stand alone, is used for the
foundation. The front breadth of the
gown is decorated by graceful, trailing
vines of shaded chrysanthemums,
which vary in tint from faint pink g
dull violet. Around the bottom of the
skirt and sweeping train is careless
coil of glace velvet, which blends per-
fectly with the coloring of the chrys-
anthemums. At the side of the skirt
duchesse lace falls in jabot from the
waist line to the hem. The decollete
bodice is tight-ftting, with coil OF
velvet outlining the neck, below which
chrysanthemums are painted The
sleeve is short bouffant puff of cream
satin, lain in rather stiff folds. 1t is
finished with coil of violet velvet and
crowned by fluffy epaulet of duchess
lace. Pale violet suede gloves are worn
with the costume. Post.

sLoP CARTS WITH BARREL.

which the barrel is placed and will re-
main firmly upright. If after time the
barrel seems inclined to lip down, this
may be prevented by putting on a
couple of cleats. Legs are put on
wheelb arrow fashion merely for sup
port In No. the barrel is so placed
as to more nearly balance. First make
a square by firmly mortising together
four 2x4-inch timbers the desired
length. To put on the wheels bore
holes in the side pieces about the mid
die of each and in these insert pieces
of hickory shaped to fit the opening in
the wheel hub. Bolt handles to this,
put on legs and braces and the cart is
complete. In making both these carts
they must be so constructed as to per-
NIT the barrel bottom to be several
inches from the ground, but not so
high as to make it difficult to remove
the slop with pail. An old kerosene
or vinegar barrel with the head re-
moved and used as a cover serves very
well. 1t is not necessary to use pillow
handles, but they are the best. Ordi-
nary straight pieces of lumber with
the one end slightly rounded off will
do. The size of the square, length of
the axle, etc, will depend upon the
barrel to be used - Orange Judd
