COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
tie roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 8. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent. it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air il breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes it's appearance, causing a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcers is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whcle mucous surface of the nose, head
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsils have
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. It will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach 20 the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
BRAZILIAN BALM is the only known remedy
immature that will accomplish this result.
1t will heal any old sore. Snuff solu-

Vas the Avowed Purpose Of : Stranger
Who Changed His Mind.
Captain Thomas d. Bennett and Lieu
tenant Max Supler were reclining in
their easy chairs in the private Office OF
the chief of police, gazing wistfuliy out
upon the flag stones surrounding city
building. 1t was a quiet Sunday after
noon, and as the rain fell in a steady
drizZle, they were specializing on the
probability Of some person committing
suicide. Their meditations were broken
in upon rather abruptly, by the sudden
entrance of a man, who did not go
through the formality of sending in his
card or even knocking at the door.
Say want to be locked up" very
peremptorily.
Whats the matter now?" drawled
the captain.
Il live in Baltimore. see? By Cd
I've travelled on freight train from Gin
cinnati, and I'm not going a d. step
further until the weather gets warmer"
1--WE can't do anything for you here"
said the chief.
by Cd l want to be locked up till
some warm day. I'm tired, | am. Ii
you don't lock me up, I'll get out and
smash a window, and break into your
id Jail, see?"
Move on, now" said the chief.
you'd better go out and catch train
for Baltimore
The fresh Visitor walked to the door
and hesitated, and the chief remarked
in an aside" to his lieutenant:
IF that fellow got thirty strokes from
the cat-o-nine tails, he'd go pretty
quick"
This was Supler's cue, and he caught
On. He walked out to the steps and the
stranger accosted him.
Say, do you have a whipping post
here?"
yep"
"Wen, by Cd, that's barbarous.
They've got one over in Delaware, TOO.
People around here do look just ABOUT
half civilized, come to think about it.
Say, they don't whip any one 'cept 1or
wife beatin', do they?'
ooh. yes. whip 'em for anything. It's
optional with the judge. Some times
they get hundred lashes, and go to the
work house besides
"Say, pard, that's brutal. Hundred
lashes! Whew!"
The lieutenant left the stranger, and
walked into the Office, sending another
man out. The stranger took up the same
line of conversation, with the exception
that the whipping post story was fur
Their exaggerated. He was told that the
chief had telephoned the Fly cop and
the ''fy cop was pointed out in the
person of a man standing on the Airing
ton corner.
"By Cd I'll give that copper the
Slip said the stranger, as he walked OFF
very meekly.
He passed the ely cop" cycling him
furtively, and attracting his attention
by his frightened glances. The two
glared at each other, and the stranger
finally broke into a run down Chapline
street.
He is now on his way to Baltimore.

Rejoices in a Better Understanding With
tne United States.
London, November 15.-The Daily
Chronicle, in special article this
morning on the meaning of the Cana
dian negotiations at Washington, re-
views the past commercial relations
between Canada, Great Britain and the
United States, and says:
Important communications have
passed during the last few days be-
tween Downing street and Ottawa; and
the cordial reception which the Cana
dian ministers are meeting at the
hands of the Washington officials and
the American press makes it quite
possible that we are on the eve of 4
most happy change of attitude toward
one and another of the three countries. F"
The writer of the Daily Chronicles
article concludes by inquiring:
"Is Canadian reciprocity with the
United States to take the place of ex
elusive preference for Great Britain ?
1t would disappoint many in this coun-
try, but the question must be viewed
in the broad light Of AngloAmerican
relations.
''No one will deny that Canada, the
United States and the mother coun-
try have each far more to gain from
closer intercourse than from the pres
ent policy of commercial and political
eXclusiveness.

A SNAKE STORY.

What Big Anaconda Did in Philadel
phia Museum.
philadelphia, Pa, November IA
huge anaconda, on exhibition in mu-
scum here, to-day severely injured
Samuel Washer, the museum watch
man, and crushed to death a valuable
trick pony. The pony was tied to a
feed box, alongside the anaconda's cage.
Washer saw the reptile had worked one
board of it's cage loose and had stretch
ed it's tail out short distance. He
pushed the board to, believing the
anaconda would pull within it's cage
again. Instead it wriggled out and
wrapped itself several times about
Washer. The latter screamed for help,
and the pony, frightened by the big
reptile, began jumping about. This
probably saved Washers life, for the
reptile unwound itself from him and
completely encircled the pony. Washer
Tell to the floor unconscious, while
The big snake continued to crush the
pony until life was extinct. When a
number of employees reached the scene
the snake had begun to unwind itself
and appeared to be getting ready for
more fight. The men kept aloof until
lasso had been obtained and the ana
conda finally made secure. Several Of
Washers ribs were broken and he was
removed to a hospital.

Rev. DR.. j. L. Sooy, pastor of the
Fourth Street M. E. church, chose for
the subject of his last evenings SER
mon, 1.-THE Mischievous Penknife,' .
using historical story as the basis for
his remarks. The "mischieyous pen
knife" represented the destructive
conceit which causes men to cut loose
from established formulas of the
church and the principles of early re-
ligious training and and embrace
skepticism. He said it was sur
prising to see the number of young
men who professed to have so much
knowledge about the matter who had
not really investigated those things
which they SO ruthlessly put aside.
This transition in the life of the
average young man occurs when he
energies from the period of subordin-
alton into self-government, when he
begins to think that he is manly, smart
and shows higher order of in
telligence to manifest contempt for
the teachings and religion of his
mother and the doctrines Of the
church.
They readily give up sacred things
and accept the ideas of a third or
fourth rate press, opinions heard e2-
pressed in the narrow social circles or
at the club and among their asso-
ciates. They talk glibly about sys-
TENS of philosophy into which they
have never looked or given a mo-
ment's study. They put aside the
doctrines of the church, when they
have never read single treatise or
given the subjects an hours study.
They talk about the so-called fallaciee
and the fables of the Bible, when they
have never read the book connectedly
and could not recite ten passages from
it. They put one thing after another
aside, and finally get into that naked
state that they have no faith in any
thing whatever.
DR.. Sooy related an incident of a
young man who had been reading
books on infidelity and had gone to a
Methodist Bishop to have his doubts
cleared away. The Bishop learned by
asking a few questions that the
young man had never read the Bible
and could not recite single passage
from it, This, he thought, was typica-
of ninety-nine out of every hundred
so-called infidels.
In conclusion, he urged that if peo-
pie would read their Bibles more there
would be less skepticism. The book
has stood the test of centuries, de-
spite the predictions of VOltaire, Paine
and other noted skeptics, who prophe-
sled that in hundred years there
would not be Bible in existence.
