Catarph.

II Is not reasonable to expect to be
cured Of any disease, no matter how
constant and persevering the treat
nacnt, when that treatment Is alto
gether ,nisdirectcd, and can not Posst-
biy reach the trouble.
This explains why those afflicted
with catarrh meet with 80 much dis
enlargement. Though they faithfully
fake the usual treatment consisting OF
sprays, washes, ETC., and pass through
The summer without much discomfort,
- soon as cold weather returns, they
find themselves more firmly in the grip
81 the disease than ever. Such results
could hardly be expected If the proper
treatment had been given.
Any one who has had experience
with catarrh will readily admit that 1t
Is one Of the most obstinate of diseases;
ii is easy to see, therefore, that II Is
edecp-seated, and that no remedy which
merely reaches the surface can have
the slightest effect upon 1t. The only
known cure for catsrrh is a real blood
remedy, one which gets at the scat OF
the diseasc-the cause of the trouble
and forces it from the system. Such
remedy is S. S. S. (Swift's Spccificl.

Discovery of "a Literature in Egypt
Rich in Historic Information.

Dfscovery of Literature in Egypt
Rich in Historic Information.
The discovery of the Rosetta stone
is one of the romances Of archaeology.
The students of Egyptian literature had
long been aware that a literature lay
locked up in the hieroglyphics which
abounded in every part of Egypt, but
were unable 10 find a key to open the
mystery. Many shrewd attempts had
been made, and the conjectures OF
scholars as to the probable meaning OF
certain characters proved to be very
near the truth. but the fact that the
conjectures were only probabilities rem
dered all attempts at translation vague
and unreliable. The first definite clew
that was given TO the significance of
the Egyptian hieroglyphics was by the
discovery of the Rosetta stone, so called
because it was found at the Rosetta
mouth of the Nile. After Napoleon oc-
cupied Egypt n strong English fleet was
sent TO the east for the purpose of cut
ting off the French army, and when the
approach of the English force was
known active preparations were made
by the French for defense, earthworks
being thrown up at the mouths of the
Nile in order TO defend that stream
against the English. while the French
fleet at AboulSir made vigorous prepo-
rations TO repel the English ships 1t
was during the construction of one of
/ these forts that the Rosetta stone was
uncovered by a French officer and laid
to one side until it could be examined,
the French savants who had gone with
Napoleon instantly perceiving its value.
A few days later the French fleet was
defeated and almost annihilated al
Aboulxir. the mouths of the Nile were
occupied by the English and the stone
fell into the possession Of Sir William
Hamilton, who later turned it over tC
the British museum. Its value as an
archaeological treasure consists in the
fact that it has three inscriptions con
tanning the same matter-one in hero
, glyphics. one in demetic, or middl,
Egyptian characters, and the third il
! Greek. The matter is unimportant
being an inscription in honor of Ptol
emy Epiphanes. B. G. 1o6. The tri

GREAT CATCHES OF FISH
BEING MADE IN POUND NETS AT

BEING MADE IN POUND NETS AT
THE MOUTH OF THE CHOPTANK
Easton, Md May 21.--Large quanti-
ties of the fish variously known under
the local names Of croaker, grunter,
grOwlcr, spot and roach, are now being
caught in the fish traps at and near
the mouth of the ChOptank. At Cooks
Point. Captain Thomas Taylor, Of
Tilghman's Island, took from his
pound net sixty-fve barrels of these
fish at one fishing, and he thinks that
he dill not get more than half that
were impounded. The barrels average
about 140 fish each At another fishing
he got over 1,000 This time the pres
sure of the school of the impOunded
fish was so great tnat the walls of the
trap broke and most of the fish es-
capped These fish weigh from one to
five pounds. Hundreds of them are
brought to Easton and sold for not
more than cents a pound. They are
delicious fish. They have never been
known in quantities so great so far VI
the bay before, being an ocean fish.
Heretofore this market has depended
on shipments of "croakers" from
Ocean City and Cape Charles. Captain
Tayl0r thinks they always do come III
the Chesapeake, and the great catci
this year is owing to the fact that TO
the first time the traps were setting
when the great schools came up tn
bay to spawn.
