A Unique Prescription For the Liver.

A young clerk whose sedentary life
and lack of exercise have left him with a
sluggish liver and all the evil conse-
quences thereof visited well known
physician recently and was advised to
regulate his diet to the utmost plain
ness and to take horseback exercise daily.
Tho young man frankly told the doctor
that he could net afford TO keep or to
hire a horse. The doctor asked him
where he was employed and was told
that he was clerk in certain corpora
tion which is housed in an enormous
building on Broadway, and that his
Office was on the tenth floor
Quoth the doctor: "That's just the
thing. You don't need to hire horse.
Walk briskly down the 10 flights of
stairs three times a day, and it will do
your liver just as much good as if you
were jolted on horseback during an
hours ride. -
The gentleman's friends will proba-
bly, appreciate after they have read this
why he persists in walking down stairs
at good gait instead of taking the elo-
vator. The doctor added that no excer-
else was more gently stimulating than
walking down stairs and nothing more
severe than walking up stairs. New

A Shower OF Feathers.

On ono occasion he asoended the church

Danger from Catarrh

The most important feature about
that very common complaint, catarrh
in the head, is its tendency to develope
into some other more serious and dan
gerous disease. The foul matter drop
ping from the head into the bronchial
tubes or lungs is very liable to lead to
bronchitis or consumption, that
destroyer which causes more deaths in
this country than any other disease.
As catarrh originates in impurities in
the blood, local applications can do but
little good. The common sense meth
cd of treatment is to purify the blood,
and for this purpose there is no pre-
paration superior to Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. The powerful action of this med
icine upon the blood expels every inn
purity, and by so doing cures catarrh
and gives health to the entire organism.

NEGROES OF CuRACoA.

How They Risked Their Lives Against
Great Odds to BE Free.
An anecdote about these Curacoan
negroes is well worth interpolating,
SO illustrative is it of that love of lib
erty admired by all Americans, says
the New York World. During the
40's the republic of Venezuela abol-
ished slavery and enacted that whoever
stepped on Venezuelan soil by that act
became free. The negroes of the
neighboring Dutch island heard of this
and they also learned the scientific fact
that during certain period of the year
the gulf stream makes curious sharp
curve around the island and carries
with fierce current towards the main
land
Unable to make or steal boats, many
Of these negroes, although usually well
treated on the plantations, used to cut
down trees, lop off the superhuous
limbs, and flashing themselves to these
trunks on dark nights when the wind
was blowing strongly with the current,
these daring navigators would trust
themselves to the tempest and the ocean
in the hope of being cast on the land of
the free. Many persisted. Some sue
ceeded. Such was the type of colored
men who invented the cordial curacao.

Use it in Time

Catarrh starts in the nasal pass ages
affecting eyes, esrs and throat and is
in fact, the great enemy of the mucous
membrane. Neglected colds in the
head almost invariably precede catarrh
causing an excessive flow of mucus,
and if the mucous discharge becomes
interrupted, the disagreeable results of
catarrh will follow, such as bad breath
severe pain across forehead and above
the eyes, roaring and buzzing sound
in the ears and oftentimes very often
sive discharge. Ely's Cream Balm is
the acknowledged cure for these trou-
bles.
