A Disguised Enemy.

Chronic catarrh often makes it's ap-
proach in Disguise. Before person
knows it, he may become a victim Of
chronic cataIrh. Its onset may be
gradual, it's development insidious,
and at last the victim finds himself in
the clutches of a tenacious disease.
A slight cold, tendency to sneeze,
a pufhness in the nose and head, full
ness or cracking in the ears, stringy
mucous in the throat, slight cough or
wheeziness. snoring during sleep, any
one of these syptoms should be re-
garded as a warning. What can be
cured in the beginning in a week OF
two, by using Pe-ru-na, if allowed to
become chronic, may require months
OF faithful treatment. You had better
take Pe-ru-na now, for by and by you
may be obliged to take 1t long time
in order to get we'll. Pe-ru-na is the
remedy for catarrh. Almost every
body knows that by hearsay and
thousands know it by blessed exper-
fence.

With the disappearance of the custom

The Buffalo Express quotes young
negro as follows: eve suffer, not at the
hands of the moneyed power, that you
have heard so much of recently, but at
the hands of the laboring people. It is
impossible for q negro to obtain other
positions than those of the barber, por-
ter, plasterer or domestic servant, be-
cause none of the other branches of la
Dor is open to him. The railroads, the
greatest industrial organizations on the
continent, employ in the northern
states over 100000 men, and yet there is
but one position, that of car porter,
open to the negro owing to the influ-
ence of the many labor organizations
that will not let negroes into their So
cieties or work with them in any other
position"

some time In the seventies family,
now of the very inner .cirle. but then
DANGEROUSLY hammering at society's
door, brought down upon themselves
the amused contempt of those whom
they envied by announcing in the pa
pers that the ladies would receive, and
then setting up a most elaborate spread.
There were plenty of callers, indeed,
but not from the ranks this family de-
sired to enter. 1t was wild mob Of
nobodies who swooped down upon the
house and gorged itself with the wines
and CONNECTIONS so literally provided,
and the modification of the host and
hostess was exceeded only by the
wreck the jewellers left behind them.
There is Still some New Years call
ing in more than one city that the
writer knows of. Nowhere, however, is
the custom persistentas an elaborate So
cial function, but simply as q sensible
of courtesies between good
friends.
