There is more catarrh In this section 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 1t local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
byconstantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls CataHh Cure,

law. 1t revises the rates and CLASH
fications completely and radically. A
senate bill was passed relating to the
discipline and mana cement of prisons,
leaving it within the discretion Of the
board of control to decide whether con-
victs in the state prison shall work ON
legal holidays. An assembly bill was
cOncurred in relating to the division of
cities into classes. and limiting city
councils in assessing municipal taxes
to ) per cent.
The assembly regretted its rough
treatment of senate bills Nos. As, 36S
and 200 Saturday and reconsidered its
vote refusing the bills a third reading.
The bills were then admitted to a
third reading. Assembly bills No. 2o9,
declaring meandered lakes public
waters, and No. 800. creating a munic-
ipal court in Villas county, were
passed. The senate bill to repeal the
section of the constitution limiting the
state superintendent of public instruc-
tons salary to $1,000, was concurred
in. The library bills were then saved
from immediate death by being taken
from the calendar and referred to the
committee on claims.

The Lily.

In the middle ages the white EIv
came 10 be considered by the church
the especial emblem of heavenly pur-
ity. 1t was dedicated to the Virgin
Mary. Its cup became the model Of
the cOnsecrated silver chalice, and
nearly 100 saints claimed it for their
emblem. Painters often placed it in
the Madonna'S hands IN their repre-
senta tons of that most fond and
precious ideal of ancient art, and its
use in the festival of the annunciation
gave to it the name of annunciation
lily. The stately dignity and chaste
and inviolate purity of the flower made
it especially appropriate. Transferred
from earlier to the later religion. from
pagan temple to convent, cloister
cathedral and church, it has gained il
significance in the transition anC
breaches on Easter morning and at al
other times a gospel of beauty ant
love free from all egotism, full o
wholesome piety and charity and ricl
with eternal purity and hope.

No Free Seats.

A little pot of mignonette stood in
the window Of a crowded tenement. A
poor woman bent over it and tenderly
plucked a withered leaf from it's fresh
green crown. The sun shOne gayly on
the blue bay, and the woman stood
watching the little CLINT of dancing
water she could just see between the
houses.
She put a tiny sprig Of the faded
mignOnette in her faded dress and
took down her shabby bonnet. Then
she walked as far az she could to get
a good breath of fresh air. She passed
a church door standing open and
heard a burst of music. SO she wan
dered timidIy in and sat humbly down
in quiet corner.
The altar was fair with flowers. The
woman drew a deep breath of delight
when she saw the lilies.
A man took hold of her arm. you're
in some ones pew" he said roughly.
The woman rose nervously. I'm
sorry," she stammered. where are
the free seats?''

Legends of the Passion.

The story runs that Adam took with
him from Eden as a staff a branch of
the tree of knowledge fact, the
very branch that bore the fatal apple.
During his wanderings he reached
Jerusalem. He thrust the staff in the
ground, and it grew and became a
tree from which the cross was fash
toned. Thus the same wood bore that
which brought sin into the world and
him who Overcame it and redeemed
the world from it's sway.
Some say the wood of the cross was
from the aspen tree and since then
its leaves forever tremble with remOrSe
and fear The mistletoe, according to
another legend, was once a sturdy
tree, but having furnished the material
for the cross it was accused and be
! came a weak parasite.
To many a shrub and plant has been
attributed the dread distinction of
furnishing the crown Of thorns. In
Italy it is the barberry, in Germany
the holly, and elsewhere it is given
to the bramble, the buckthOrn, the
hawthorn, the brier rose the acanthuS,
the wild hysSOp and the acacia. The
scourge that was laid upon our Say
from the weeping willow, for which
reason that tree has ever since main
tanned a dropping and remorseful at
titude. And the reed which was
placed in his hand, according to the
same authority, was stalk of the
common cattail with it's macelike head.
The passion flower, when found by
the Spaniards in Mexico, was hailed
with alteration, since it displayed
within itself all the instruments of the
passion-the crown, the scOurge, the
spear and the nails. There are other
flowers which, fable says, were grow
ing at the foot of the cross and were
stained with drops of the Lords blood.
The Germans tell us that the cross
bill strOve hard to draw out the nails
: that pierced the sufferers hands. 1t
: could not, but it twisted it's beak in the
effort and dyed it's plumage in blood.
The English robin is the hero of a
similar tradition and dyed it's breast
from the bloody thOrns.
! A Danish legend has it that during
: the Savior's agony three birds came
flying thither and alighted upon the
cross. ''Styrk ham! Styrk him.
cried one. strengthen him. Strength
en- him. And ever since men have
called the stork a bird of strength and
| blessing. The second cried: ''Sval
ham! Sval ham, or Refresh him!
Refresh him." And the swallow, too,
, is a bird of blessing. But the third
cried: "Puen ham! Puen ham, or
: Punish him! Torture him. And
thus the lapwing is a bird accused
! fOrevermOre. The same legend pre-
walls among the Swedes, only they add
a fourth bird-the turtledove--which
cried: ''Kyrie! Kyrie"' or Lord.
Lord"' and to this very day has no
voice but that one word of lamenta-
! ton.

And dawn, by yermeil-mantled dawn
Comes spring to claim her own again.

Within its prison chamber chill

Renewed as with the touch Of spring
