Danger From Catarrh,

The most important feature about
that very common complaint, ca
tarrh in the head, is its tendency
to d velop into bronchitis or con-
sumption, that destroyer which
causes more deaths in this country
than any other disease. AS catarrh
originates i'll impurities in the blood,
local applications can do but little
good. The common sense method
of treatment is to purify the blood,
and for this purpose there is no
preparation superior to Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

Girl and Bicycle.

Ward McAllister permits American
young women to ride tricycles because
the Princess Of Wales and her daughters
ride tricycles. But it lis highly improp-
en-" quoth Wardie, ''for young women
to use bicycles" Dearl deari A woman
mounted upon a tricycle. looks like q
spider, it Is true, and she can make no
sort of speed. Likewise the tricycle. is
fatiguing to operate; moreover, it is
rather apt soon to make creaking
sound that sets sensitive nerves crazy.
But if the Princess Of Wales is will
ing to wear herself out and look like a
spider and not cover any distance worth
speaking of besides, of course that settles
It. But if some of our modest, merry, pref
ty American women who, with the full
approval of their parents, husbands or
grandmothers and without thought of
improperly, fit gracefully through our
city parks every day upon bicycles, oc-
casionally taking long and health bring
ing tours in the same manner, get hold
of Wardie McAllister we wouldn't take
even chances on him. They would
tell him, these independent American
girls, that immodesty exists in his own
tosdyish little mind and nowhere else.
II the Princess of Wales were to ride a
bicycle, appearing just once upon it,
Ward McAllister would see in bicycle
riding henceforth the most modest and
healthful of exercises for American
girls, and he knows it.

With an Eve to Business.

A well-knOwn missionary had occa-
sion to give a description Of his foreign
work to a large audience in a certain
town. While speaking he took particu-
lar notice Of a boy, who was listening
with rapt attention to every word the
lecturer said.
AS is usual in such addresses, he
wound up with an earnest appeal for
contributions, however small, and
thinking of his wide-mouthed listener,
he added that even children might give
their mite.
When the meeting was over, the boy
mounted the platform and going for
ward to the lecturer, said:
please, sir, l was very much inter
ested in your lecture, and-and-"
Here he hesitated.

Profit i'm WaInutS,

The large profits that have been made
from walnuts in southern California
during the last couple of years have
turned the attention Of many hOrticul-
turists in this direction, and there is
likely to be a large increase in the area
Of walnut orchards during the next
few years.
The walnut finds it's most c%Ongenial
h%abitatiOn in soil that is deep, rich
and naturally moist, and where only
slight frosts occur. Under such cir
cumstances the trees attain large size,
and hence it is essential that they be
allowed an abundance Of space They
are planted from forty to sixty feet
apart, and for several years during
their early stages an abundance OF
rOOm is left, which is profitably devoted
to the cultivation of annual crops of
various kinds. At maturity the trees
yield as high as 800 to 1000 pounds
each, while the prices vary from 6 to 8
cents a pound, making a f~ull-bearing
walnut grove a particularly desirable
piece Of prOperty.-LOs Angeles Times.

uct Causing a Sensation.
In an article on the meat supply for
England the South American journal
says that till recently the fattening of
cattle in the Argentine Republic was
confined to the native prairie grass, so
that a steady supply of fat beasts for
export could not be relied on all the
year round, and comparatively few
were good enough for the English mar
ket. The breeders We're satisfied with
the trade in dried beef. which enabled
them to dispose of 100000 bullOckS
per annum, chiefly of the unimproved
native breed. But now the ranchmen
are producing shorthorns, Herefords
and pOlled Angus by the hundred thou.
sands, and are laying down great areas
Of alfalfa to fatten them. Last year
the value Of live cattle and sheep en-
ported amounted to IL, OOO,O OO, and this
year it is expected to be 80 per cent.
more. AS the country possesses abOut
100000 cattle and 100000 sheep,
with only 100000 inhabitants, its ex-
port are enormous. 1t is said
that bullOcks giving 7OOpOundsper car
cass can be delivered in London at t12
a head with profit. The great advance
in exporting capacity is due entirely
to lucern, which is thus becoming a
source of vast wealth to the country, in
which it luorishes marvelOusly. Five
cuttings per annum, without manure or
irrigation, yielding twelve tons of hay
per acre, must pay vastly better than
wheat, and great as the sensation
wheat growing has been, that of meat
production will probably be greater.

A Milanese Millionaire.

Milan is mourning the loss Of its most
popular eccentric o. Carlo Valerie
was q millionaire manufacturer, and
probably the finest hOrseman IN Eu-
rope. He rarely condescended to drive
fewer than six horses at a time, and it
was quite a common sight in Milan to
see him on the box seat of his coach
behind eight superb animals. He often
drove ten in a team. and used to boast
that he never had a serious mishap.
He claimed to understand the language
of animals, and he used to pass hours
in his stables daily talking with his
horses. Although very old, Valerie
enjoyed robust health, and probably
he would be alive now but for the i'm
prudence of drinking iced water after

Two of the species of whales feed

LOST FOUR CENTURIES AGO.
SpcculatiOns as to the Fate of Sir
Walter Rawleigh's Colony.


One of the most romantic legends of
American history is that connected
With the name Of Virginia Dare, the
irst white child Of English descent
BORN Oh American soil. and the colony
If which her parents were members.
The colony was sent from England by
Sir Walter Raleigh in 1857, and, landed
~ Roanoke island, under Gov. John
White, who Don went back to England
or supplies, and though he had left his
own family on the island, did not come
pack for three years. When he re-
!urned the colony had disappeared,
.hough there was 1t evidence that it
nad been the victim of violence or fam
ne. 1t had simply moved, and had in
Heated where it had gone. Gov. White
seems to have been singularly indiffer-
ant to the fate of his family, whose
,lace of refuge he seems to have known,
and he did not prosecute any search
or them in person, though Sir Walter
Raleigh sent five unsuccessful eXpedi-
ions to find the colony.
In the July number of the Mid-Conti-
nent Magazine Frances Jones Melton
gives the reasons for maintaining that
The descendants of the lost ~cOlOnists
ave been found in the Croatans, on
Lumber river, a mixed people Of Eng
.iSh and Indian descent. who bear Eng
'ish names, and many Of whom have
the gray. eyes, fair complexion and
blonde hair of the AnglO-SaXOn. In
the reconstruction period the name of
Henry Bell Lowrie vas very familiar.
He was classed as an author, and IA
prosecuted and prosecuted by the au-
thoritieS of the reconstructed State, to
whom everybody not Of mixed white
blood was q negro. This classification
a vigorously resented by Lowrie and
his people, who are proud Of their de-
scent, and have kept themselves dis
sinct from whites, negroes and Indians
alike. Miss Melton gives a very inter-
asting account of these peculiar peO-
pie, and the evidence she summarizes
makes a strong support for her claims
that they are the descendants of Sir
Walters lost colony.-Louisville Com-
mercial.
