CATARRH VICTIMS.

Everybody has catarrh. If no,
Everybody, at least nearly everybody.
Soue have catarrh in the form OF d
discharge from the nose, or hawking
rom the throat. Some have it in the
head. producing frontal headache, or
Icrackling in the ears, or partial deaf
moss. With some it is confined to the
throat, or bronchial tubes, producing
boarseness or sore throat, cough, or
sain in the chest Some have 1t in
he form OF catarrhal consumption.
|(khers have catarrhal dyspepsia, ca

Producing host of diseases generally

Ikese people do not suspect that they

allied something else. The reason
oy have failed to find cure Is that

INVENTORS DON'T PATENT.

DISCOVERIES of Epoch Making Devices Took
No Pains to Keep Them.
If you look back on the history Of hu
man progress, you will find that none
Of the great epoch making inventions
has ever been patented. The man who
lit the first fire-whether Prometheus
or the party from whom he stole the
idea, did not get a patent for it. Mel
ther did the man who made the first
wheel-in every sense one of the most
revolutionary inventions in the history
of man. The same thing may be said of
the invention of soap, candles, gun
powder, umbrellas and the mariner s
compass, or, to come down to our own
day, of the steam engine and the cleo
trio telegraph.
Patents are mostly concerned with
small mechanical details and improve
ments-it may be in candles or umbrel-
las or it may be in the application Of
steam and electricity-and by means Of
these patents enormous profits have
been secured to second rate inventors,
but the great ideas and discoveries
which underlie these details have been
given to the world gratis.
There is a general notion that if you
did not protect inventions by means Of
patents inventors would cease to. invent,
and material progress would come to a
standstill. But history does not bear
this out in the least Men with great
mechanical gifts do not exercise them
solely with view to commercial profit
any more than astronomers search the
heavens for new worlds with an eye to
registering patents and floating COM
panies on the results of their discover
ies.-London Truth.

utterance was broken by deep, strong

names of those two persons who stand

Wales Not a Fashion Leader,

It is not true, one now learns, that
the Prince of Wales is the leader Of
fashion. The heir apparent, in fact, is
not allotted to be aggressive enough to
be leader. One Of the proofs that he
does not lead fashion is that he wears
silk hat with sack coat. 1t also proves
that he does not follow the fashion. The
real swells who do set the male fash
ions once resolved to make an innOva-
ton during Ascot week. Sporting men
were dressing in light clothes and white
hats, whereupon all the men in the
swim appeared in black hats, black
frock coats and dark trousers. For some
reason the prince had not been notified
of this change, and was caught in the
paddock in snuff colored suit.-Lorl-

FUNERALS IN PALESTINE.
Manifestations of Grief That Come Down
From Great Antiquity.

Manifestations of Grief That Come Down
From Great Antiquity.
At each death the women begin a
peculiar lamentation, by which the en-
tire village is informed that death has
taken place. AT once the relatives come
in their best clothes and join in with
the lamentation; The women nearest
connected with the departed rend their
clothes-i. e., the upper garment, which
is in the shape of a shirt, and is held by
means of a girdle around the waist.
The garment they seize at the opening
in front Of the chest and tear it down
ward, and the deeper the grief the
larger will be the rent. This is after
ward stitched together, but in such a
way as to show the seam on the outside.
Then these mourners put on their best
garments, uncover their heads, which
at all other times are covered, tear out
their hair, strike their faces, scratch
their countenances, beat their breasts,
and many smear SCOT over their faces.
Occasionally it happens that men, too,
give vent to the violence of grief by
tearing their clothing and pulling out
their Boards That these manifestations
of grief are from great antiquity we can
see from the book of Job, written prob
ably 1, 500 years before Christ. When
Jobs three comforters came to him,
they, too, wept and lamented and tore
their garments and strewed dust upon
their heads and sat with him seven
days and seven nights upon the ground
without speaking (Job ii, ~. When
David, according to II Samuel xviii. 33,
received the news that his son was dead,
he went into his room and wept. His
grief was SO great that those without
heard him III Samuel xix, 24).
On the following day the body is car
ried into the church. While this is be-
ing done number Of women keep up a
kind of dance outside of the church,
while they lament and moan, with their
hair in disheveled state. The same
thing is done at the grave. 1t is pecul-
lar that the Arabs are SO anxious to
have their dead buried in the tomb of
their ancestors, and this prevails to such
an extent that many families can re-
member that their great-great-grand-
father and all his descendants were put
into the same grave. In cissc u person
dies at distance from his native vii
lage his body is brought home for buri-
al. This reminds us CT Jacob ard his
last request made to Joseph to bury him
with his fathers Genesis Xvii, 80, and
!, 5-7). On the next morning, very early,
certain women go to the grave to weep
over the dead, as was dcne by the wonl-
en- on the morning Of Easter (Luke
xxiv. II After they have retrrned to
