And Save Endless Suf-
tering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.

ANEXCITING EXPERIENCE.
Depot Policeman AdkissOu Severe
Shocked by Electricity.

Depot Policeman Addison Severely
Shocked by Electricity.
Depot policeman r. P. Addison
had quite an exciting experience at
the depot last Friday evening. Some
times the electric light at this place
goes out, and few pulls and jerks
at the chain by which the lamp is
suspended usually starts it To
burning again. Mr.. Addison has
d ne this frequently, but it is safe ~
say that he will not be caught monk
ewing with it again any time soon.
On this occasion the light had gone
out. and Mr.. AdkissOn caught holt
Of the chain with the intention of
giving it IA few jerks. The chain had
become charged with electricity.
aud instead of Mr.. Addison jerking
it, the chain commenced jerking
him. For awhile he could not loose
his grip on the chain, and several
bystanders who attempted to pull
him away were nearly knocked
down themselves by the current.
Finally, however, Mr.. AdkissOn
threw his whole weight on the chain
and succeeded in pulling himself
away. He was in an almost eX-
hausted condition and had to be car
ried to his home on South High St.,
where medical aid was summoned.
He was out again the next day, but
| feeling somewhat the worse from
his "rassle" with such willy opOo-
nent. The accident might have re-
suited seriously had the current
been stronger, and the electric light
company should see tn it that the
lines are in such condition as no
to cause any more such accid 3l.t'.

klTTIES IN A JUNK SHOP.

Bought for 81.

Got any kitties?"
The junk dealer looked startled. for the
question betokened an intimate knowledge
of the jargon of his kind.
why, yes, 1 guess So" he responded,
when he could get his breath What the
buyer meant was an old sewing machine
which could be turned into the sewing ma
chine company as part payment on new
machine. The company allows S. on an
old machine, and sometimes the agent or
canvasser allows S. more out of his COM
mission on the sale.
The public imagines that in some way
these old machines are valuable to the
company. but, in truth, they are of use
only as arguments in forcing the SALE In
the standard makes of machines there is
supposed to be absolutely cut in prices.
and the only way that a seeming reduction
can be made is by taking in an old machine
and allowing for it. The company does
this, not for the sake Of getting the ma
chine, but tor the sake Of making trade.
Once the old-timcr is in their possession it
is broken up and sold to a9junk dealer.
The companies know, of course, that a
large number OF the families who turn in
old machines said to have been bot ght by
them before the flood really came from the
secondhand stores and cost only dollar
At this rate the buyer gets an allowance of
$40, which, deducting the 81, leaves net 49,

THE SILENT SISTERS.
Never n Word is Spoken In This
Gloomy Convent Near Biarritz.

Near Biarritz-happy, brilliant Barritz-
stands the lone, yew embroidered convent
of Silent Women-the SOeurS SilencleuSes
Here 10. far from the sounding waters
of the Bay of Biscay, tifty-seven ladIes of
birth and breeding have seen fit to immune
themselves in what is nothing less than a
living tomb. Womans tongue has justly or
uniustly been centuried byword; yet
the soeu"s silencieuses voluntarily resign
their right to speak, and sentence them
selves for the rest of their natural lives
to absolute, unbrOken silence.
The convent, which is modelled on that
for men at La Trappe, was founded many
wears age by a lady of the French court,
who, in company with some friends. sought
this solitude and gave her life to God. Who
she washer very identity-is in dispute
Indeed it was her own wish that the au-
thorities of the Catholic church should
preserve her name a secret; and all the
women who have followed her into seclu-
sion here have likewise endeavored to hide
their identity.
A league from Biartz, in the direction
of the PyreneeS, one turns aside from the
direct road and enters narrow ravine
stretching toward Mauseon. Through
woods of beech and wild olives an
ill-kept deeply rutted lane leads to a high
walled inclosure Over the walls there is
a glimpse of yew trees: and. If the visitor

never raising her eyes save in prayer and
never exchanging a syllable with mortal

A recent visitor to the convent thus de-
scrbes what she saw:
THE lay sister who received us DAY sis

and are allowed to TALK would not allow us
to approach near enough to get even a
glimpse of their downcast faces. We saw,
however that they wore long black cOwls,
with great white crosses between the shout
ders and reaching to the hem of the gown.
Save for the crosses. they were arrayed
wholly in black, and black wells draped
their faces.

the gallery and saw them kneelng in the
half light below us. A mans voice was
reading prayers, but no man could see.
Afterward we learned that he spoke from
behind a screen. He was admitted to the
convent chapel by an underground passage
way leading beyond the walls.

who began at or after that age Q477 134

the deleterious effect OF inhaling the smoke
when smoking; inhalers gave percentages
of Illness Of 1914. 1872 and 925 respectively
as compared with 1888. 769 and 256 among
those who did not in11ale. Some other tables
complete the article. which closes with
some pia desiderata, more particularly as
to the need Of instrucing the youth of the
day in the harmfulness Of smoking. There
Is. OF course. nothing new in the figures

serve to emphasize the long since admit ed
fact that smoking is to certain extent a.
harmful habit. especially in the young
