The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages
and that is Catarrh. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is the only positive cure
now known to the medical fraterni-
ty. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have Sc

Miners interested in the Priest
Lake region have been pushing
along with commendable enterprise
in building a good pack trail into
the mines. Fror. five to fifteen
men have been at work for some
time and they have put in several
hundred dollars in labor. The
hardest part of the trail to the Con
tinental is now completed. 1t in
cludes the first twelve miles.
There remains about ten miles Of
the trail to make AID when that
has been finished they can pack
clear up to the copper strike, be-
yond the Continental, with horses.
The Priest Lake mines are the
most important in this locality,
and every encouragement should be
given to their development. At
the copper strike referred to gold
quartz has been found that indi-
Gates a very rich camp. And the
Continental group, owned by We'll,
Smith and Huston, is sufficient to
make a good camp in itself.
The county really ought to give
something towards building a trail
into this district, but as this in not
likely, it will have to be. done by
private subscription. In the event
that paper was passed around the
Ferry asking for assistance, oul
business men would find it to theil
advantage to donate literally, as
by a little encouragement, they
would in time get considerable
trade from this important camp
Considering the importance Of tn
development of the Priest LAX
country, and the work the boy
have already done, they are quit
justifable in asking for some as
sistance to get the necessaries t
continue the labor.

TOILETTEs for JULY, 1895

The question is often asked,
What is the reason that of all the
fashion magazines published in
America on other enjoys such a
wide popularity as Toilettes? There
must be some intrinsic merit about
this book, which renders it more
fascinating to the average female
mind than any other of its class.
Aside from its cover page, which i'm
mediately challenges our admira-
ton, we are struck with the aston
ishing variety Of its inner pages,
which are fairly flowing over with
new styles in every conceivable gar
ment intended for ladies and child
ren's wear. There is nothing stale
or inartistic. Every design has a
peculiar finish of its own, which
makes it instantly as the coming
thing. What we see pictured in
Toilettes to-day will be noticed al
all fashionable resorts in the city
or country a month hence. In thi;
number we notice especially mum
Der of bathing costumes of the lat
est invention. Riding habits, ten
lis, cfcquet dresses by well-knowr
Partisan designers. Twenty cents

The Secret of Fascination.

The secret of fascination is one which
many a woman would sacrifice good
deal to learn. To cultivate charming
and an attractive manner one must
begin at home; and surely a better
school could not be devised, for the
training is, in it's way. perfection. Here
one is sure to find each day little rubs
which must be soothed with skillf'll
touch; there is constant mindfriction
going on among even the most devoted
members of the household 1t is pain
full fact, though none the less true, that
ones family acts as a constant counter
irritant A steady effort to smooth
over the rough places, minister to
wounded hearts, and with deft touches
erase unpleasant memories is called
for, and the woman who obeys the sum-
mons is pretty sure to find herself fully
able to cope in the most agreeable fash
ion with the outside w orld. Few woIn-
en-, however realize that fascination
of manner is not born, but cultivated.
1t begins to bud in the nursery, devel-
ops under the skillful training of pains
taking instructors, and blossoms forth
into complete beauty in the society Of
Well-bred women.

Ancient Inhabitants.

Ancient Inhabitants.
But the beautiful region they inhabit
was not alwoys peopled by men of their
kind, for before the coming of the Span
lardS this part of America had attained
"a degree of civilization such as was
known to no other portion of the north
ern continent. The ruins of scores of
cities which must, from the extent of
the remains, have been of very consid-
cradle size, and probably had each a
population of many thousands, attest
the former populousness of the .coun-
try, while all over Guatemala the pres
ence of irrigating works of great ex-
tent, the remains of highways over
grown with forest trees, the ruins of
temples and palaces show that the
country must have had a powerful, Or
gained administration, capable of TAX
ing in hand the functions of govern
ment, and also of looking after the gen
eral interests and welfare of the people
in a manner similar to that Of the
Peruvian IncaS.
The remains of upwards of fifty cities
antedating the Spanish CONQUEST have
been found in Guatemala alone, and
this number in a territory only two
thirds the size of Missouri probably in
dicates density of population similar
to that of the most crowded parts of
Europe to-day. The word probably
is advisedly used in this connection,
for aside from the statements of the
Spanish explorers, little or nothing is
known as to the number of the nations
that once inhabited Central America.
The only ancient structures whose
use can positively be stated are the
huge pueblas, or communal towns, in
which all the inhabitants resided under
common roof and in a sort of fortress
OF their own construction. Best known
to us from their presence in parts Of
New Mexico and Arizona, these curious
community towns are found in great
numbers in Mexico. and to some extent
also in Guatemala and other parts of
