For your Protection. Catarrh ''Cures" OF
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
Inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, SO cents.

Since 1878 there have been nine
epidemics OF dysentery in different
parts of the country in which Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was used with perfect success
Dysentery, when epidemic, is almost
as severe and dangerous as Asiatic
cholera. Heretofore the best efforts
OF the most skilled physicians have
failed to check its ravages, this rem
edy, however, has cured the most
malignant cases, both Of children and
adults, and under the most trying con-
ditions, which proves it to he the best

The DeadspOt on Trees.

Orchardists in this country have
reason to dread the tree disease locally
termed "Deadspot" is more than any
trouble, unless it be fre-blight of pears
and apples. ,,Deadspot" is caused by
fungus parasitic upon its host, and
consequently contagious, as all our
fungi must come to fruit at some'season,
The fungus that particularly effects
apples and pears forms its spores or
propagating tubes in minute pimples
on the surface of the deadspot.
When these propagating vessels are
ripe, the pustules burst, and the spores
being released are ready to be carried
by wind aud insects to other trees OF
portions of the same tree, thus causing
fresh infections. After tree is infected
it is not possible to reach the deep.
seated fungus by any spray, and all
treatment must be preventive. Ac.
cordingly, the best time 20 attack this
disease is very soon after the opening
Of the spore-bearing pustules, or before
the spores that have found lodgment
in new situations shall have germi-
mated. The spore clusters are open
ing now, and within the next three OF
four weeks the majority of the seed
bearing vessels will have opened
[ would suggest to every apple and
pear grower that he spray his trees
about the middle of July wi h 6 pounds
of copper sulphate and 6 pounds of lime

treatment in autumn with the same
fOmula would catch such spores al

Stone Forests OF Arizona.

The regions OF the Little Colorado
river in Arizona abound in wonderful
vegetable petrifactions, whole forests
being found in some places which are
as hard as flint but which look as if
but recently stripped of their foliage
Some of these stone trees are standing
just as natural as life while others are
piled across each other just like the
fallen monarehs of a real wood forest
Biologists say that these stone trees
were once covered to depth of 1000
feet with mari, which transformed them
from wood TO solid rock. The mari,
after the lapse of ages. washed out.
leaving some of the trees standing in
an upright position. The majority of
them. however, are piled helter-skelter
in all directions, thousands OF cords be-
ing sometimes piled up on an acre Of
ground.-Cincinnati Commercial Ga

bearing debt was reduced from $4,000

In three years Grover Cleveland has
created debt of $500, 900, 600, the an
nual interest charge being over 10000
900. He is eager TO add $4,000, 900 more

Invariably gradual. Gradually the life

Bless God for your trials. Oh, my
Christian friend! keep your spirits up
by the power of Christ's Gospel. Do
not surrender. DO you not know that
when you give up, others will give
up? You have courage, and others will
have courage. The Romans went into
the battle, and b. some accident there
was an inclination of the standard.
The standard upright meant forward
march, the inclination of the standard
meant surrender. Through the negli-
sence Of the man who carried the
standard, and the inclination of it, the
army surrendered. Oh! let us keep the
standard up, whether it be blown down
by the east wind, or the north wind,
or the south wind. No inclination to
surrender. Forward into the conflict.

Senator Mantle Looks West.

The recent enormous advance made
in the industrial development of Japan,
and which is now spreading to China,
has demonstrated to rejecting men
who have given the subject thoughtful
consideration, that protective tariff
will no longer alone successfully guard
our manufacturers and wage earners
from the stream of cheap manufactured
products which has begun to flow from
those countries to our shores. and
which is at last exciting the serious
alarm of great numbers of our citizens
engaged in the manufacturing indus
tries. This is evidenced by the fact
that boards of trade, chambers of COM
merce, and other organizations are APP
pointing committees to investigate the
nature, character and extent of this
Asiatic industrial invasion.-Hon. Lee
