A Constitutional Disease, Requiring
Constitutional Remedy.
Catarrh in the head consists of IN
tlamation of the mucous membrane in
the nasal passages, and sometimes it
extends to the air cavities which cover
considerable portion of the face.
Catarrh in the head frequently des-
troys the senses OF taste and smell, and
its tendency is always debiltating.
The best authorities say catarrh is
just as surely a constitutional disease
as Is scrOfula. 1t is caused and pro-
moteI by impure blood. i. teach
ing OF experience proves that she true
way to cure catarrh is to puri Y the
blood. The One True Blood Purifier
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Thousands of
such statements have been written bv
honest, straightforward II On and wom-
en-: they have been published year
after gear: and their genuineness is
beyond any possible question.
Ii you are suffering from catarrn,

stream at the fountain head. Purify
your blood with the One Pure Blood

short time you will be convinced of the
wisdom of this course. Hoods Sarsa-
parllla will give you an appetite, tone
and strengthen your stomach. make

which produce them.

| ~ + the many striking Incidents
recalled at the reunion Of the
~ Society of the Army o. the Ten.
nessee in st. Louis. none Is more re
markable than oae in which Gen. Gran
vile Nj. Dodge, president OF the society,
plays the leading part. The story Is
thus narrated in the ST. Louis Republic
by Captain NJ. ]. McGrath of Chicago:
I'm 1863 the left wing Of tine Six
teenth Army Corps, under the command
OF Gen. Dodge, was encamped behind
intrenchmentS outside o. Atlanta. |
was in the Fifty-seconi Illinois, which
formed part Of the left wing. and In the
Second Division. Gen. J. NJ. COrse, who
is dead, commanded the division. We
had made loopholes in the ar.hworks,
through which the men inserted their
guns when shooting. The Confeder-
ates kept up a hot fire and we had to
exercise the utmost caution. 1t was
especially dangerous to get behind a
loophole, as the moment the er remy rec
ogniZed any dark object shutting off
the light they would make a target Of
it.
Such was the state Of things when
Gen. Dodge came to the front one day
and walked up close to the earthworks.
We particularly warned him of the risk
he was running, but he did not seem
to mind it. He took out his field glasses
and began to reconnoiter the Confed-
crate batteries. He had hardly put the
glasses to his eyes, however, when
what we had feared came to pass. A
bullet crashed through the loophole,
the General apparently full in !
the forehead. He threw up his hands
and fell backwards, the blood stream
ing all over him. He was tenderly |
lifted up and carried to the ambulance,
and no one doubted but that he had re-
'eived his death wound. This. how
,ver, was not the case, as the General
still survives. He has to-day a deep
'urrow along the top Of his head, show
ng the course of the bullet and his es-
ape was literally a hairs breadth one.

Wedding Decorations.

In Austalia there is much greater
amount of church decoration on matri-
monial occasions than we have here.
At recent wedding an arch of white
flowers was erected across the center
aisle to mark the point beyond which
the pews were reserved for the guests.
A rope of white flowers stretched across
fastened with loop of white satin
ribbons upon the pointed top of one of
the pew doors. A large and lovelier
arch, composed of the rarest white
flowers intermixed with maidenhair,
was placed where the bride and BRIDE
groom stood and knelt to be made one.
Directly over their heads hung mar
riage bell of snowy blossoms. The
pillars that upheld the galleries were
garlanded with greenery. among which
white flowers were entwined.

Marching Through Georsia's" Oripir

Col. Sexton, that we were Joined by
Leopold Meyer, who Is now a promi-

ars. both of whom had escaped from

music and words of the stirring song

since become the national air of tho

to his staff and kept him there during
the rest of the war.
Some years after the war Gen. Sher-

returned l heard him relate the story
which | will now tell:
ION his trip through ireland he stop-

of state and the military Of the CITY
called at his hotel to pay their respects
and he was feted in royal style. One
evening he was standing in front of the
hotel when far up the street he heard
brass band approaching, and family
through the evening air were waited
to his ears the strains of his favorite
military air, Marching Through
Georgia. He surmised that he was to
be serenaded, and ascending to his room
himself in his uniform. Nearer
and nearer came the band and the Cen
eral, all logged out, waited in his room
for the summons from the hotel people.
But to his surprise the band passed on
and soon the music died away In the
distance. The General, unable to un-
derstand it, changed his attire and pro-
ceeding downstairs, asked the clerk |
about the band. 1t played a very IA

Reade's Opinion of Bay Rum.

Howard Faul relates capital anec-
1ote of the late Charles Reade, the
novelist, who was something of gour-
met. He had heard so much about
canvas back ducks that he desired to
taste them. Mr. Paul sent him a brace
by quick steamer, with explicit in
structions as to how they should be
prepared and cooked. He sent by the
same n essenger a bottle of bay rum,
thinking Mr.. Reade knew it as toilet
accessory. 1t seems he did not, for he
wrote back to the donor: "My Dear
Paul: The ducks were excellent; en-
Joyed them exceedingly: but the bay
rum must be au acquired taste and
didn't go at all well with the wild fowl.
SO l substituted champagne. I liked
the bay rum better mae into hot
punch"
