Catarrh starts in the nasal pas

and is in fact. the great enemy of the
mucous membrane. Neglected colds
in the head almost invariably pre-
cede catarrh. causing an extensive
flow of mucous, and if the mucous
discharge becomes interrupted the
disagreeable results of catarrh will
follow, such as bad breath, severe

Hardy Climbing Roses.

In the prairie rose we have a class of
hardy native climbing roses often found
growing wild in Michigan and the west
ern states, which we may plant with
confidence. Two Of the more commonly
known roses of this class, which are IA
vorites everywhere on account Of their
hardness, free blooming, and the fact Of
their flowers appearing just after the
other varieties hre nearly over, are Queen
of the Prairie and Baltimore Belle, vari
cites raised in the year 1843 by a rose
grower named Feast, in Baltimore, from
seeds Of the wild prairie rose crossed
with some European variety. These two
the former red and the latter white,
when grown near each other on the same
porch or with INTERVIEWING branches,
heighten each others beauty by con-
-trast. Both are of -rapid growth and
may be employed to advantage for COW
ering any unsightly objects as walls, old
trees, old buildings, etc. Among the
most desirable roses Of the prairie class
we have Annie Maria, vigorous, pale
pink, very few thorns; Baltimore Belle,
pale Dlu1Sn, changing 20 white; item OF
the Prairie, free, believed to be from
Queen Of the Prairies crossed with Nine
Laffay, rosy red, occasionally blotched
with white, large, fat flowers, slightly
fragrant; Queen Of the Prairies, vigor-
Gus, rosy red, frequently with white
stripe, medium or large size, double, TO
liage large, five leaflets, quite serrated;
Triumphant, vigorous, rosy pink, me-
dunn size, double or full, distinct, seven
leaflets arecommon. &C Cleveland Leader

A Maid of All Work Adjective.

inquired of the head mistress of a
girls school why she SO frequently made
use Of the adjective mice. She replied,
Because it is such useful maid of all
work adjective and saves one the trou-
BILE of thinkingp' 'sThen you teach your
girls to be inaccurate?'' ST don't think
It is being inaccurate. The word Utmost
cases expresses my meaning better than
any other. Arelative of mine reproved
one of her nieces for her liberal use Of
lawfully jolly" The young lady re-
piled: ooh aunt, do not deprive me of
that awfully jolly expression. If were
deprived of it, / shouldn't know what
to say.
The frequent use of the expletive
''you know was justified to me ON the
ground that it keeps the listeners at
tention awake.
The fashionable novel presses into its
service these flowers of speech. In Mr..
Norris Countess Radnao a young gen.
tleman thus addresses a young lady,
"I'm 50 awfully sorry that you are
going to desert us. !" tI'm awfully sor-
ry to have to go, y replied the girl COM
posedly, "and my parents will be aw-
fully sorry to see me. y
Of this young lady's two lovers the
author himself declares in the same
chapter (24) that one was much nicer"
than the other. In chapter 81 the nicer
one, in declining am invitation, says.
Thanks awfully, but I'm afraid !

a kAhYLE MARRIAGE.


the Ceremony Il Complicated and Winds
Up with an Exciting Incident.
The wedding ceremony among the
Kabyles is Interesting because Of its
comparative resemblance to the customs
Of the old Greeks and Romans and even
to those which still prevail in seques-
tered parts Of France. Here it Is the
girls father who exacts wedding por.
tion, sum of about f8, for which the
bridegroom has generally to rely upon
the advances of his friends, Often, too,
the young man has not a house for his
bride, in which case his friends set to
work and build one. no very difficult
matter.
On the wedding day the bride is led
through the villages in the neighbor-
hood, mounted ON mule and escorted
by friends and relations. who shout and
fire guns again and again. The various
householders hasten forth to offer her
sieveful of beans, nuts or dried figs. OF
these she takes handful, which she
kisses and then replaces in the sieve,
All the offerings arc collected in sacks
by the old women &C The procession as
contributions to tho yung peoples lar
der.
At the bridegroom's house the girls
hands are washed with liquid butter.
Then they give her some fresh eggs,
which she breaks on the mule's head
and inside the unhappy animals oars,
thereby, it is believed, counteracting
any evil designs against her and her
husbands happiness. Before entering
the house she drinks milk, fresh and
sour, and also water, and scatters over
her shoulder a handful of barley, wheat
and salt for the good Of the family.
The husband then approaches her and
fires pistol above her head to-signify
that thenceforward he has the power Of
life and death over her. Not infrequent-
" he makes the symbol even more en-
phatic by firing into her headdress and
setting her afiame This done, little re-
mains except for the youth to lift the
lady in his arms and carry her bodily
into his house. All the Year Round.

Knlinr Crocodiles.

"There are two ways of killing croc-
odilss, - writes an ex-resident of India.
Tone is by shooting with arifie, but the
most satisfactory way of dealing with
them, besides being far the most sport
ing, is to bait good large hook with a
bird or small animal and fasten it by
a chain to good long rope the end Of
which is firmly picketed, the rope being
coiled and the bait laid in shallow wa
ter. There must be lots of slack line, as
the crocodile does not swallow anything
at once, but seizes it and takes it into
deep water to gorge. A number of lines
may be laid and looked up in the morn
ing or cool of the evening. When hook
ed, it will take good many men to
haul crocodile out, and as he resents
the operation and can use his tail as
well as his jaws one or two sportsmen
will find considerable entertainment in
dispatching him with spears. Some croc-
odiles grow to an enormous size, and
their maws always contain round white
stones, and often trinkets, the.relics of
inside passengers. The writer assisted
ct the death of not extraordinarily
large 'snubnose' which had six wohien's
rings in her. ''-Badminton Library

ApriI Fool Dav.

The custom of sending one on boot
less errand or otherwise April fooling"
him on the first day of April is very an
cient. Yet it cannot truthfully be said
that any one is equal to the task Of trac
ing it to its origin. Some antiquarians
profess to believe it survival of the
travesty Of sending the Saviour hither
and thither, first from Annas to Gaia
phas and then to PLATE and Herod. This
opinion is strengthened by the fact that
during the middle ages that very scene
in Christ's life was made the subject Of
one of the Easter Miracle Plays" enact
cd ON the chief streets Of London and
other English cities of the first class.
Even though the above opinion has re-
ceived the sanction of Brande, Moore
and Hone, it is not at all unlikely that
it is really relic Of some old heather
festival, such as the Hull festival of the
Hindoos or the Roman feast of fools. !"
The custom, whatever its origin, of
playing tricks and pranks Of all kinds
on the first day Of this month is univer-
sal throughout Europe and is also prae-
ticed in many other countries and unr
der various names. It is a curious fact
that the Hindoo Hull festival where
April fool tricks Of all sorts are played,
is held on the night Of the 81st Of March,
and the orgies are not discontinued I'M
til sunrise on the morning of April L.

Moths.

DR.. Aldricks of Kentucky is an en-
thusiastic entomologist. When asked
for some information ON the subject he
has made speciality of, he said: ITO
study the habits of the moth family you
must live and grow up with them. The
finest varieties fly by night, and it is
with some difficulty that they are cap
tured. The usual way is to go out with
hand net and pot Of stale beer,
sweetened with a quantity of molasses
or sugar. A dash of this mixture on
the bark of the tree, whose leaves the
moths feed upon, is the bait which lures
them to death. AS soon as they light the
net is sprung over them, and later on
they are asphyxiated by being drAnped
in an etherized jar, after which they are
carefully mounted and labeled. I have
"a house built especially for their prop
agation and filled with leaves Of their
fayorite tree. With the caterpillars
crawling to the right and left Of me I
spend many night watching their hab-
its from rude cot in one corner Of the
building. It is quite profitable bust
ness, besides being unusually instruct
i've. Some q the largest varieties are
the size Of humming bird, and the
rarest kinds, when properly mounted,
easily bring $25. The Smithsonian in
stitution at Washington before the fire
of several years ago, had one Of the
finest chronological collections in the
world. "-Philadelphi Press,
