CATARRH A DISEASE

which requires constitutional rem
edy. It cannot be cured by local ap-
plications. Hoods SarsapariIla is
wonderfully successful in curing ca
tarrh because it eradicates from the
blood the scrofula taints which cause
it. Sufferers with catarrh find cure
in Hoods Sarsaparilla, even after
other remedies utterly fail.

The Shirt Waist Collar.

1t would be interesting to trace many
OF the so called caprices of fashion to
their real source. Many, as is we'll
known, are of historic origin and re-
ceived their inspiration in the whim of
some royal OF other distinguished per-
sonage. The introduction of the sepa-
rate collar shirt waist, which has and is
enjoying great vogue, was, it is said,
due i'll the first place to the laziness of
a cutter i'll one of the fashionable tailor
shops where ladies' waists are made.
He suggested and advocated the style to
save work, it was discreetly talked up
by the head saleswomen, who received
the customers, and the thing was done
we'll done, too, most women will testify.

His Romance.

''Of course thera's romance in my
life, 7" assented Fromer, when it was in.
timated that there was nothing of senti-
ment in his composition.
"'I felt when 1 saw her, It's she or
none on earth is what Schiller wrote
in his Bride of Messina. That is ex-
actly what felt when 1 met the wom-
an of my romance. Nobody can describe
woman. You can rave about her
classic features, her speaking eyes, her
neck like a pillar of marble touched
with life, the graceful psyche knot that
she twists to a crown of beauty, and all
that kind of rant, but after it is done
you can meet the woman and not know
her. When | can picture soul, I'll 90

"Of course l was young when I met
her Otherwise l would have shown
some slight imitation of sense and sur

is not uncommon, but it is restrained
by Il sense OF propricty, by pride or by
some other modifying influence. Every

no check, and fell to the very depths

very properly. asked her if I could
cherish no hope, intimating that to de-

fortune that might lay it at her feet

years Ireturned. The woman was there
just as l had left her, but not my ideal.

The Senator's Striped Underwear.

A western senator, who has always
been addicted to the habit of wearing
striped underwear, had a marrow escape
recently on that very account. The
striped underwear worn by the distin-
guished senator looked for all the world
like a prisoner garb, but of course that
aspect of the case did not suggest itself
to the senator. While Ell route to Wash
lngton on one occasion the fact came to
him in u striking way 1t was Oh q
sleeping car at night. The car pitched
and threw him out of the lower berth
on to the floor, clad i'll his striped under
wear
The lurch of the car startled other
folks, too, and two ladies on the opposite
side of the senator stuck their heads out
to see what the commotion was all
about. When they saw the senator crawl
ing under cover i'll his striped garb,
thinking he was an escaped convict
they screamed, and pandemonium reign
ed. The porter was summoned, where
upon the ladies commanded him to re-
move the convict -
1t took all the senatorial courtesy"
the senator could rake up to prove an
alibi, and lie was finally able to demon
strate who he was, but he has since
abandoned the idea of wearing striped
underwear, having reached the eonclu-
sion that plain fannels without stripes
are much better and far safer. Wash

The Dance Dictator.

The large private dances given In
New York afford a means Of livelihood
to a number of women whose work does
not appear conspicuously in the results
IS important as it really is The lists of
tnany Of the hostesses that entertain i'll
this way are taken charge of by young
women who make business of sending
out invitations, overlooking lists and
generally experimenting the entire dis.
tribution of the invitations This neces-
States revision of the names and the
omission of all who happen to be no
longer available for social entertain
ments from one cause OF another The
women who attend to work of this kind
relieve the hostess of all further respon-
sibility than the delivery to her of the
invitations. This is a particular relief
to the people in society who happen to
spend any considerable part of their
time in Europe and are unfamiliar with
the changes that take place in New
York. One young woman and her moth
er have for several years made very
good living out of work of this kind,
and there are half dozen or more who
devote their time to it. AT many of the
large balls hostess never expects to
know personally all the people she in
vites. Some of them play no more i'm.
portant part i'll her acquaintance than a.
place on her visiting list, and, that dis,
tinction having once been gained, it is
likely to be secure until something very
serious happens. One of the duties Of
the women who make business of this
sort of thing is to see that invitations do
not go to people whose friends would be
grieved by the suggestion of their att
tending ball.-I,ew York Sun.

Treacherous Can. Cod.

Nobody knows how many vessels have
been wrecked Oh Cape Cod since the
bleak December day when the Mayflower
rounded Race point and sought shelter
in what is now the harbor OF Province
town. The number is very great, how
ever, and the loss of life on this most
dangerous part of the whole New Eng
land coast has been something appalling.
A list, admitted to be incomplete, of
the wrecks since 1878 shows that 15l
vessels, including three steamers, have
gone to pieces on the pitiless sands of
the cape, and, had not the waves always
hastened to remove the evidences of
their work, the shore all the way from
Chatham, at the elbow Of Massachu-
sets elbow, to the crook of her bent
hand would be piled high with the ribs
and planking of shattered vessels. A
large proportion Of the cape's victims
are coasting schooners, with only an oc-
casional bark or brig. These disasters
therefore, rarely attract much attention,
but they are tragical none the less, and
almost every storm adds to the number
of dreadful stories which the lighthouse
keepers and members Of the life saving
service have to tell-New York Times

Can't Export Laws,

No civilized country can confine its
citizens within its own territory or
other countries Every country, there
fore, needs money which can be used in
purchase from and in payment of its
debts to other countries Yet, howsoev-
er great country may be, and however
absolute may be the power of its gov
ernment, its laws can have no extrater-
ritorial effect No government, there
fore, can prescribe the standard by
which its currency shall be valued in
any oth.r country, or compel the citi-
zens of another country to receive its
currency save at the bullion value of
that currency in the markets of the
world.

1r .asferring Pictures.

Prints CT autographs may be trans
ferred to glass by Il very simple process.
The glass is cleaned Will, alcohol and a
polisher, then coated with fine dammar
varnish, laid on vc:'y evenly. 1t is then
put away in place where there is no
dust, where it is to remain until it is so
sticky that when touched with the finger
the glass, if small plate, may be lifted
by the adhesion. The picture tc be trans
ferred must be soaked in rainwater until
it is completely saturated, then placed
between sheets Of blotting paper and
gently pressed. This removes all su-
perfuous water Now put the pictures,
face down, upon the sticky side Of the
glass. The utmost care is necessary in
placing it, as once it touches it cannot
be moved without danger of tearing out
pieces of the print. When i, is adjusted,
begin at one corner and press the picture
closely upon the adhesive surface, watch
ing it continually to see that no air bub-
bles appear between the picture and the
vanished surface When this is finished,
put the picture away again, let it re-
main until quite dry, then lay wet
towel over the back of the picture until
the paper is thoroughly soaked.
Now begin at one corner, and, with
the fingers, frequently dipped in water
SO that they will remain wet, rub off
the white paper. Continue this until all
the white portion is removed This will
leave only the color of the picture upon
the glass. AT the finish give the back a
rather heavy coat of transparent var
nish. Let it dry thoroughly and add Il
very thin second coat. When this is per-
fectly dry, frame the picture with very
thin glass over the vanished side Hang
i'll the window us transparency. A
few attempts may be necessary before
expert handling is acquired, but perse-
verance will bring success, and with
care and IL little ingenuity very many
beautiful pictures may be prepared at
the most tritiinS expense. New York

WARMED OF DANGER.
Apparition That Saved Woman From
Being Bitten by Cobra.

| Apparition That Saved Woman From
Being Bitten by Cobra.
The following remarkable occurrence,
an absolute fact, was related by a lady
visiting friends i'll Hartford as it was
told her by her cousin in Meerat, north
western India. 1t took place in the
house of the sister of the narrator. OF
its absolute accuracy there can be no
question: The two sisters i'll India are
connected with families of repute and
with officers in the British army in In
dia. We give the story as the lady here
related it. She is devout member Of
the Episcopal church and is incapable
of misrepresenting in the slightest par
ticular.
Her cousin, i'll whose house the occur
renee took place, was seated at a lighted
table engaged i'll reading, when, think
ing it about time to retire, and happen
ing to lift her eyes from the book, she
was astonished to see seated in chair
before her, and between herself and the
door to the bathroom, a man, stranger
to her, who calmly regarded her. 1t was
too great surprise for her to speak and
demand who was thus intruding unbid-
den upon her privacy and what was
wanted. She remained for moment in
silent astonishment.
Then it gradually dawned upon her
that the figure was probably not that of
a.person of real flesh and blood, but
visitor from the unseen world of life.
She remembered having once, as child,
seen Il similar figure, under circum-
stances which seemed to preclude the
idea that it was any person still in the
body, and in later years. in revolving
those circumstances, she had remember
ed how the apparition had after little
while faded away into invisibility
Concluding that this new visitor also
was not a person Of flesh and blood, she
sat silently gazing at the silent object,
while the intruder, whoever or what
ever he was, sat also i'll silence, steadily
regarding her. Just how long this state
Of things lasted the lady did not accu-
rately know, but it was probably not
very long, when the mysterious stranger
began to vanish into Il thinner and thin
ner personal presence, until in mo-
ment or two he had vanished quite
away.
1t was the lady's hour for her evening
bath, but she thought she would first let
out her two pet dogs from their confine-
ment in another room. They came bark
ing furiously and running directly to-
ward the bathroom. There, through the
open door, the lady was Mortified to see
IN the floor a monstrous cobra-the
snake whose bite is certain and speedy
death. Springing forward to save he1
dogs, she quickly shut the door, but not
so instantaneously as to prevent her
seeing the reptile turning and escaping
down through a hole in the floor where
the drain pipes of bathtub and wash
bowl wGnt-a hole which had been care
lessly left larger than was necessary.
If she had gone directly to the bath
room, as she would have done but for
the Intervention of her mysterious visi-
tant, her life would undoubtedly have
been sacrificed i'll the act.-Hartford
