In the last hours of Congress several To-
cal bills were passed and were approved by
the President. In accordance with the
terms Of the District appropriation law re-
lating to telephone rates. an effort was be-
gun by the citizens to compel the telephone
company to accept the reduced charges,
ranging from SIS to $50 year; the COM
pany declined to recognize the law and
steps were taken to carry the matter to
the courts for decision: the Commission
ers were advised by their attorney that
they could not pay more than the newly
legalized rates for District telephones. The
Commissioners appointed members of the
plumbing board provided for by new law.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that sci
ence has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh cure is taken internally,
acting directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces Of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
its work. The proPrietors have so
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

At What Age IL Man Strongest?

The muscles in common with all the
organs OF the body. have their stages of
development and decline: our physical
strength increases up to certain age
and then decreases. Tests of the
strength of several thousands of people
have been made by means of a dynamo
meter strength measurerl, and the fol-
lowing are given as the average figures
for the white race:
The lifting power" of youth Of Il
years is go pounds: in his twentieth
year this increases TO 320 pounds. and
in the thirtieth and thirty first years it
reaches its height. 356 pounds. At the
end of the thirty-tirst year the strength
begins to decline. very slowly at first.
BY the fortieth year 1t has decreased
eight pounds. and this diminution CON
tinues nj a slightly increasing rate I'M
til the fiftieth year is reached, when
the figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the weak
ness of old age is reached 1t is not
possible to give statistics of the decline
of strength after the fftieth year, as it
varies to large extent in different in
dividuals.-The Strand.

Variety of Game Laws in the states
of the Central West.

1t is pity that the game laws are so
different in the States. for the habits
Of game are the same in the central
western country. aud the variation in
the laws breeds confusion. Thus, in
Illinois, quail shooting begins Oct. l
and lasts sixty days. while in Indiana
the season does not begin until Nov. 10.
The rare hunting in Missouri, Wiscon-
sin. Michigan. Minnesota and Dakota
lures many an Eastern sportsman 10

States have been obliged to adopt
stringent rules during the past few
years.
