There is more catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed TO be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrh TO be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co. Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. II
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts d.

DRIFTING TO WAR.
There May Be a Clash OF Clan
Among European Nations.

There May Be a Clash OF Giants
Among European Nations.
Gen. Sir Archibald Alison's article
in the December number of Black
wood is not exactly cheerful reading for
those who appreciate the blessings of
peace. We are, in the opinion of this
authority, slowly but surely progressing
toward war of giants" That the
struggle will find Russia and France on
the one side and Germany. Austria and
Italy on the other, is, he considers,
evident from the present lOcaliZation OF
the various forces.
Referring to the Russian army, Sir
Archibald finds that out OF a total force
Of nearly a million, $4,000 men are
Inassed on the German frontier and in
the reserve behind it, while Odessa and
the Crimea are held and COnStantinople
watched by only $4,000; and the eau
casus occupied and the Turkish frontier
in Asia Minor observed by $4,000; while
in the whole of TranscaSpia, along the
Afghan and Chinese frontiers, there
are only $1,000 and on and about the sea
of Japan some $4,000.
From general survey of the DISPOSE
ton OF Russia'S forces, Sir Archibald
Alison comes to the conclusion, first,
thoU OhO 10 otiitAS CfCIS HClNo W
mass men OH her Polish frontier, SO as
to be able, in conjunction with France,
TO crush Germany, even though aided
by thanking Austria and distant Italy;
next, that until this contest Is over
Russia is determined to give up designs
OH Constantinople; and, finally, that
she has no present intention of making
any move upon Afghanistan or India.
Further than this Sir Archibald re.
CARDS it as certain that Russia never
really intended to undertake such a
distant and difficult enterprise as that
of moving force sufficient to seize our
Indian empire through the inhospitable
and hostile country of Afghanistan.
What she will probably do. in his opin-
ion. before making her great move, is to
endeavor to induce us to believe that
she is really about to invade India, SO as
to chain our large European force there
to that country.
When the German system attains its
full development, Sir Archibald esti-
mates that her available trained force
for war will reach the enormous number
Of 4, 800, 900 men. At present he reckons
| that the dual alliance France and Rus
| sia) has in peace $4,000 men under
! arms more than the triple alliance
Germany, Austria and Italy,, but that
the latter has in WARTIME superiority by
500, 00G.

OF all freaks nature has played with
cats, that which was unearthed in North
Plainfeld, N, j., about two weeks ago,
was by all odds the strangest. Cats have
been petrlfied; they have been mummi
fed. and have even dropped dead in the
middle of nocturnal serenade, but who
ever heard of the body OF cat retaining
It's size and shape, but no appreclable
weight, for six months after death.
irhis Is what happened TO the cat
whose body now ornaments the desk of
Miss Emma l.. Adams, librarian of the
Job Male public library in Piainfield.
This cat apparently had enjoyed
long and unenviable existence. In fact,
there is nothing about its size, shape or
color to indicate that prior to Its un-
timely death 1t was more than the Ordi-
nary prowler OF back yards, yet 1t Is
now an object of interest to science.
The evidence is that about six months
agOit crept beneath the floor OF the
Warren chapel, and there died not nine
but one long, miserable death. AT any
rate there are those In the Sunday
SCHOOL WHO are sure tlldC us spirit
passed away" about that time.
When 1t became necessary to build a
new coal bin tor the chapel the work
men found its body beneath the floor
and they assert that with its spirit it
substance also passed away, for 1t is as
light as feather. Nothing about it
suggests violence at the hands OF mis-
chievOuS urchin or pursuing dog.
In fact, to outward appearance it is a
perfect specimen of cat. Not even a
whisker was turned, and its tail is as
unrutfled as if it had never ''got its back
up" The only mystery has been that
it was able to retain its size and shape
without weight.
High school teachers have essayed
to solve the problem where scientists
have failed. They say that the cat
must have crawled beneath the floor in
pursuit Of prey and have been unable
to retreat. Air was scant there, and it
died and its substance dried into moth
ingneSS.
Whatever the cause may have been
the cat is one of Miss Adams priced
possessions. and it still has as much
interest for the library patrons as when
first placed before the public gaze.
