swept the snow from them, and built
them up close to the fireplace

might not have to bring in snowy wood

The day dragged by. Dadamie felt
weight upon her heart from which
there was 70 relief, for il was plain
that Tietro was not so well. The still
ness of that snow-entombed mountain
was awful. She could not interest

smiled In answer to her goodnight and
soon fell asleep. Diadamie piled the
logs on the fire and the blaze filed the
room with bright glow. Tietro slept
on and breathed more easily now; and
after one more look at his wasted face,
she threw herself down on a rude couch
at the foot of his bed and fell asleep.

She surely heard Tietro laugh. She
opened her eyes slowly, and when con-
sciousness had fully returned she was
too terrified to move; for the room was
filed with light--a moving, billowy,
cloudy light, Opaque like mist, yet
brilliant. This only for minute-then
darkness. Diadamie sprang to Tietro's
bedside. Tietro lay quite still. There

ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS.

10 Is said that the ls-cent stamp OF
Seychelles, issued some months ago, Is
now being printed in two colors. and
.peculators are already at work boom
ing the price of the old stamp. The high
values of the 1850 issue OF Uruguay are
also reported to be In line of material
advance in price.
1t costs the United States more than
sl75,OOO each year to pay for the pro-
duction Of three and half billion

Catarrh to
Consumption

Catarrh invariably leads to consump.
tion. Growing worse and worse each
winter, those who rely upon the usual
treatment OF sprays, washes and inhal.
ing mixtures find that II is impossible
TO check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the sur.
face. The offensive discharge increases
all the while, and gets deeper until it is
only question of short time when
the lungs are affected.
The importance OF the proper treat.
ment can therefore be readily appre-
ciated. But no good whatever can be
expected from local applications, as
such treatment never did cure Catarrh,
and never will. Being blood disease
of the most obstinate nature, Swift's
Specific (S.S.S.) is the only remedy
which can have the slightest effect upon
Catarrh. 1t is the only blood remedy

APUBLIC MARKETHoUsE.
Translated From The Fret Presse
fuer Texas.


"Tne plan to build a market
house adequate to the wants and
size of our city, has been discuss ed
so often already that perhaps all
citizens are acquainted and have
made up their mind about it. 1t
can be considered a positive facJ
that the project is commenced up
on fsvorably, because the absolute
necessity of a commodiOus market
hall is becoming apparent and
more urgent every day. The city
has nothing to risk in building
the hall, as it has been calculated,
that the capital stock will not only
yield good interest from the re-
venues OF the understands, but
that ia the course of few years
the stock can be refunded.
"San Antonio, which otherwise
has made such rapid progress in
it's building capacity, public enter
prises, etc, and in this sense has
surpassed all other Texan cities,
stands back against all of than in
regard to the market house. Every
other large city has such, only the
largest city in the state has no
markethouse to show up and still
the absolut necessarily of such a
building is apparent and desired.
In sanitary sense, in proper con-
troll OF the marketStands, and in
regard to the comfort, protection
and convenience a public market
hall will offer the public.
1--WE wish that the matter will
be soon brought before our city
council and then be handled with
all energy. We are confident the
citizens favor the plan and will al
low the necessary funds for same
