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 a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoontul. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,

Mexican Street Car Customs.

The street cars are an institution that
will cost you many real pang before
you master all of their peculiarities.
You can hire one for your personal use
and go anywhere for day for about
$3.50, with the privilege Of stopping at
any one place for not over two hours at
a time, and the fun you would have
would be like taking car in Chicago
and going all over the North, South and
West sides, pulling the car off the track
and getting the policeman to put it on
again if you wanted to visit at any one
place for some time. These cars are
driven at gallop, and the driver holds
a continuous conversation with his little
mules that is always fervid and forcible
and occasionally picturesque. The con-
ductors are very accommodating, II
there is small coin in sight, and will
sell you a ticket for the lottery or
ticket for the baths, or hurry off and
buy you cigar, and then run the mules
to make up for lost time. There is
sign in the cars requesting the passen-
gers not to detain the car by their ever
lasting goodbys, but it is dead letter.
The dear women will hug and kiss and
ask about the baby and all the relatives
and exchange the latest fashions on the
street car steps just the same as they try
to do in more civilized lands, and the
men are just as bad in their way, for
they hing, ask questions, swear eternal
frAndship and relight the obstinate Gig
arctic in a way to drive one mad, espe-
cially if you are in hurry to catch a
train. New York Posts City Of Mexico

Two Doctors.

Almost every one has rIade his jest
about the proDeness Of doctors to dis
agree, the one prescribing exactly an op-
posite course from that ordered by an
other, but not every ono has had an op-
portunity 10 conduct such an experiment
as was made by the late Baron Lutz,
formerly prime minister Of Bavaria.
The baron was once severely wounded
in battle i'll both legs. The wound in
one leg was much like that in the other.
1t struck him that there was chance
TO study the ways Of the surgical pro-
fession and beguile the long hours of his
convalescenoe. He accordingly called in
one doctor and gave him charge of his
right leg, but told him nothing about
"'H 'rn-::'; - :':e It,.2-, Hnd thcu called
III another doctor for his left leg, keep
ing him similarly in ignorance about
the wounded right leg.
The doctors adopted very different
method Of treatment, but both wounds
healed at about the same tilue. When
the baron's legs were quito we'll, ho de-
rive l great deal of amusement from
getting the doctors together and mysti-
flying them with questions about the
way each had treated "his leg. AT

Walking.

For walking with pleasure and advan-
tage should give a few simple rules
The application of these rules for him
self every man must make with due al
lowance for his own peculiarities. Take
plenty Of time at meals. Do not walk
right after meal. Rest well before the
noon and evening meals. Drink all you
desire of good water during the tramp,
but sparingly at meals or just before
eating. Good digestion is as important
to good walking as it is necessary for
good work of any kind. AS to foods, a
man has to take on his tramp what is
set before him. 1t will generally be
nourishing enough if he will be careful
to eat it when not tired and to eat it
slowly. At the end of each day take a
sponge or towel bath or a dry rub down.
At least wash your feet and change
socks, and shoes, too, if possible. A
change Of all my clothing next to the
skin at the end of each day is imperative
with me. Chicago News.

Dore educated his memory by observ-
ing things as he walked with the inten-
tion of remembering all he could Of
them. He dissected subjects by division
and subdivision, on system Of his own,
so as to lay them by in good order, to
be found when he wanted them in their
right places. Hamerton Quoted by Jer-
rold) related that "by long practice" Of
this kind he could carry away wonder
full quantity Of facts and had even test
ed his memory in contest with pho
tographic apparatus, friend of his pro-
tographing cathedral, Dore looking at
it and drawing it afterward at his home,
while his friend developed his photo
graph. On comparing the two, drawing
and photograph, it appeared, much to
the astonishment Of the photographer,
that Dore had omitted no detail of i'm
portance, few minor inaccuracies be
ing alone discoverable. e.-Joseph Hattop

Bees That Make Bad Honey.

"Lovers Of the product of the busy
bee will tind it wise precaution 70
have their honey tested as to its purity
before they eat it or use it in culinary
way" Professor Remington gave a
warning something like this at recent
meeting of pharmacists, and at the same
time told Of a German who was extern
sively engaged in bee culture, and who
had his apiary close to sugar refinery.
A lot Of rank molasses was accessible to
the bees, and they gorged themselves on
1t. The result was their honey was
equally il:.;;:.ii il::.;;:i, ciId r-Gt for sicc. ca an
other occasion the bees fed on blooming
digitalis. and their honey proved to be
poisonous. Natural honey therefore is
liable to vary very much, and occasion
ally, when it looks best and is sweetest,
it may be loaded with poison. Unscrupu-
lous bee farmers are accustomed to fore
ing their bees to increase their outputs
by feeding them sweetened water The
honey of course is scarcely fit for use. -

The Chinese,

The merchant class of China is COM
posed Of polite, patient, extremely
shrewd, we'll dressed pattern shopkeep-
ers. The leisure class is graceful, pol
ished and amiable, but the peasantry
remind one Of the country folk Of Eu-
rope, excepting Russia.
As compared with Japan, one feature
Of every view is strikingly in favor Of
China. The dress and behavior Of the
Chinese will not offend Europeans The
women are modest and dress in baggy
garment which completely covers them.
In spite Of their modesty Chinese
girls do firt and in proper European
fashion. At church they make eyes at
the young men and on the way to school
The most beautiful women of China
are Of Soo-Chow. They are, as rule,
prettier than the women of Japan.
The Chinese thrash rice by taking a
handful and beating log with it to
scatter the kernels on the ground. The
farmers break up the soil and punch
holes in it for seeds with a stick.
Women who are married wear their
back hair in coil held in place by a
narrow bar Of gilt metal or imitation

Fashions In FIJI.

Fijian women have most affection
ate disposition, although, like all semi
civilized people, they are extremely SEN
sitive and ready to take offense at the
veriest trifie. Their skins are usually Of
a bright dark brown, smooth and glossy
as polished marble, and many, while
young, possess handsome features and
most symmetrical forms, but unfortu-
nately their natural grace speedily dis
appears after marriage.
While unmarried their hair, pictur-
esquely adorned with hibiscus and other
flowers, is permitted to fall in thin
plaits down the back Of the neck. This
is regarded as a sign Of maidenhood.
After marriage the plaits are cut of
and not allowed to be worn again.
In Suva and Levuka the women gen.
orally wear blouse shaped pinafore Of
thin white cotton, but III their homes Oh
in the interior districts they are content
with the sulu, kind of loin cloth,
made from the bark Of the native mul
berry tree and wrapped two or three
times around the body.
When taking part in the meke-meke
or native dance, the girls wear short
thick petticoat of dried grass, adorned
with black and yellow tappa streamers
the bodies remaining bare from tht
waist upward.
Shoes and stockings are discarded by
Fijians Of all classes except on specia
occasions. st. Paul's

Could Not Make Tibet.

Mr.. Wilson relates an amusing story
Of an officer who determined to enter
Chinese Tibet by stratagem. This Off
Ger managed to cross the frontier at
night, and SO escaped the frontier guard.
Next day, however, while he was jour
neying deeper into Tibet the Tibetan
soldiers overlook him and informed him
that as the country was unsafe, because
Of robbers, they would go with him in
order to protect him, to which arrange
ment the traveller was compelled to
agree. In few hours they came to a
river, which was crossed by a rope
bridge. The Tibetans passed over first,
In order to show that the bridge was
safe, and then the officer got into the
basket and was pulled along by the Tib-
etans. Suddenly, however, they ceased
pulling and left the Englishman hang
ing in midair above the rushing torrent
In vain the traveller shouted to the
Tibetans to pull They merely smoked
and nodded their heads. The hours pass
ed, and still the officer hung above the
torrent At last the Tibetans agreed to
pull him back If he would promise to
leave Tibet Immediately. This Of
course he was compelled to do and took
his departure from the forbidden land
