There is more Catarrh IL this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together and
untilthe last few years was supposed to be in
durable For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be q constitutions
al disease. and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by FL Cheney & Co., Toledo Ohio is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure Send fol

Oyster Culture.

ANOTHER branch of industry is now
being urged upon the state as worthy
OF sufficient support from the public
purse as to place it upon a paying
basis. This latest proposition take
the form of measure to secure the
appointment of member of the state
fish commission, who shall devote his
attention to looking after the oyster
interests OF the state. The COM
missioner would be granted small
appropriation and have under his
supervision the work of transplanting
and propogating eastern oysters in the
waters of the state. Based upon pre-
vlous successes in propagation, it is
maintained that at small expense our
oyster industry, which now produces
about $125,000 annually, could be
easily made to yield up in the millions
All the natural conditions looking to
the success of oyster culture are pre-
sent, and with intelligent supervision,
there would doubtless be splendid
results achieved. 1t is understood
that the government will the coming
season send carload of caste I'm
oysters to Puget Sound for planting,
and the opportunity exists for proving
the claims which have been made in
that direction.-West Coast Trade.

A Reversed Pr0yerb.

"Be good and you will be happy"
Is proverb that when understood
Means, simply by changing the wording,
''Be happy and you will be good"
The child laughs out in her gladness,
No burden OF care does she know;
God knew that the child must be happy
In order to prosper and grow.
Health, we say. is the greatest of blessings,
More precious than beauty or wealth;
And the doctors unite in declaring
That happiness brings US good health.
So let US learn to be happy,
Nor yield to sorrowful mood;
And let Us remember the proverb.
''Be happy and you will be good

very reserved. Frank Preston Stea1ns
says that on the occasion of Haw-
thorne's last visit to the Isles of Shoals,
in company with his friend, ex-Presi-

New Hampshire business men who
tried to make his acquaintance, but
without much success. Their after COM

We found Hawthorne very different -
This conversation was repeated to Haw-

who laughed heartily. Reserved is no
word for it, said Mrs. Thaxter, and
Whittier added, in words which not
