p Mr.. Colvip, the Treasurer ofNew York
State, holds the highest position of pure
ly financial responsibility to which it is
possible for citizen of this country to be
elected.
In many respects the Office is second
only to that of the great United States
official whose secretary himself has just
publicly recommended Paine's celery
compound.
Now there comes letter of the same
character from Treasurer Colvin.
In the history of the most remarkable
remedy this century has yet seen the
fact that the ablest and most influential
persons in the country and the most pro.
gressive physicians, were the first to per-
ceive the extraordinary worth of Paines
celery compound, is very significant.
The fact that to-day this remedy is
more widely recommended, by grateful
people in every walk of life, than all the
other remedies in the world together, is
not astonishing. 1t makes people well!
There have appeared recently pub
ished testimonials of Mr.. Carlisle's pri-
!ate secretary, of ex-Minister to Austria
Francis, of Mayor McShane of Montreal,
of Miss Mabel Jenness, of President
Cook of the National Teachers Associa-
ton, of Gen, Macauley and of scores of
other equally responsible women and
men The ''Dlain DeODlen bV thousands
in every State in the union have testified
to the merits of the compound.
Hon, Addison 3, Colyin, whose like
ness is given above, who was elected
treasurer of New York State last fall,
was born in 1858 in Glens Falls, N. Y,
where he was educated in the public
schools, and where he has since resided.
His successful career is known to all
well-informed persons.
Writing to the proprietors of Paine's
celery compound on July 18th, last, he
said:

Drowncd His Pride.

Pride is sometimes brought low by 9th
er means than fall. a gentleman who
paid a large sum for an officers room on
deck for an ocean voyage was inclined at
first to give himself an air Of superiority
because of the superiority of his lodging.
But terrible storm flooded the deck for
days thereafter, and his pride was drown

and he said II don't mind paying we'll

go through it. - Boston Transcript

Danger From catarrh.

The most important feature about that
very common complaint, catarrh in theI
head, is its tendency TO develop INTO
some other more serious and dangerous
disease The foul matter dropping froh
the head into the bronchial tubes br
lungs is very liable to lead to bronchitis
or consumption, chat destroyer wi fch
causes more deaths in this country than
any other disease. AS catarrh originates
in impurities in the blood, local apPlica-
tions can do but little good. The COM
mon sense method of treatment is to
purify the blood, and for this purpose
there is no preparation superior to
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The powerful ac-
ton of this medicine upon the blood ex-
pels every impurity, and by so doing
cures catarrh and gives health to the en-
tire organism.

A City Without a Woman.

Maiwatchin, in Mongolia, close to the
borders of Russian Siberia, is the only
city in the world peopled by men only.
The Chinese women are not only forbid
den to leave this territory, but even to
pass the great wall Of Kalkan and enter
into Mongolia. All the Chinese of this
border city are exclusively traders, and
they accumulate money till their trad
ing with Europe through Siberia has
created sufficient fortune to enable
them to return to their native cities and
live there i'll ease with their families.
Their dwellings indicate their prosperi-
ty. They are separated from the street
by clay wall, rather ugly, it is true,
but surrounding generally very ele-
CANT looking house. before which are
gamboling those sleek looking, plump
cues, with unusually big eyes, such as
are pretty faithfully represented ON Chi
nese vases and screens. The main part
of the houses of Maiwatchin is divided
into two compartments, and that which
is behind is raised. Fires are kept up
under this great platform, which is COW
cred with mats that serve as seats by
day and beds by night. Opposite the
door niche is generally seen whera
the domestic idols, unaccustomed to at
titudinize to profane eyes, repose be-
hind an ornamentod blind. The walls
of the reception room are lacquered in
red or black and sometimes covered
with figured silk, according to the
wealth and taste of the owner. The
apartment overlooking the court is gen
orally Of light wood, perforated and
carved, and over these openings colored
paper is stretched, producing something
of the graceful effect of stained glass.
The idol temples are gorgeous build

years. imprisonment. Mr.. O'Connor
asked whether, in view of the facts,
Daily, who had been 10 years in prison,
might not be released.
John Redmond pointed out that Polti
had confessed, while Daily maintained
that the bombs he was connec with
had been placed where they were found
by agents of the police.

not regard this as proper time to in

Life In Other Worlds.

The fact has been established that the
supposed diamonds found in meteorites
near the Canyon Diablo, in Arizona, are
actually SUCH This is matter Of pro-
found interest, indicating as it does that
such stones exist on other planets. Some
authorities assert that diamonds-like
coal, which is SO nearly OF the same
chemical construction-c0uld not posi-
bly, come into existence without previous
vegetable growths to generate their ma
terial. For this reason they infer that
the finding Of tho gems in the meteor
ties proves that there must have been
vegetable life in the place whence the
meteorites came. II there was vegetable
life there, it is fair presumption that
there was animal life also. All this may
be untrue, but it affords the first guess

the plants and two gatling guns were
