Foul
Catarrh.

Catarrh Is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr.. b. p. McAllister, of Harrodsburg.
KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes:

CAPTAIN Setback DEAD.
The Celebrated Chicago Police Officer
Passes Away.

Passes Away.
Chicago, May 19.-Inspector Michael
j. Setback, commanding the Fourth
police division and famous all over the
country for his connection with three
of the most notable criminal cases in
the history of the city-the Cronin muir
der, the anarchist trial, and the Luet-
CERT case-is dead at his home, 225
North State street. While death was
expected, it was not anticipated that
the end would come so soon. Members
Of the family were Frustrated, and the
news was received with regret in many
quarters of Chicago. Arrangements
for the funeral have not yet been made.

What differentiation and heroic purpose
was this! They drowned witches to be sure,
but that was no part of their puritanism. 1t
is to the puritan women we owe so much for
J. that spirit in our people which gives them
the fortitude to endure hardship and stake
life and fortune for their convictions.
The American women of to-day have the
spirit of their puritan mothers but their
constitutions are not rugged or able to en-
dure half the hardships of these New Eng
land ancestors. Very often they are run
down with weaknesses and irregularities
peculiar to their sex, and the constant drain
upon their vitality makes them chronic in
valids. Many women hesitate to go to
their family physician, because they dread
the local examinations so generally insisted
upon by practitioners.
Such women should write DR.. r. ".
Pierce, chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. ", giving a full description of
their symptoms, history, etc, so that he
can give them the best possible medical
advice. II DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton seems to suit the case the Doctor will
say so. If not, then he will give medical
advice which will put such women on the
rapid road to recovery and health.

which look like studies in various spe-
cies of bacili. They are Siamese char
acters, and the machine is one Of num-
Der built to the order OF the king of
Siam, who is now travelling in Europe.
There are 76 characters on the key
= board, number of which are in the
nature of accents, qualifying the other
characters, and these are 30 related to
the letters, that in all about 1900 char
acters can be produced from the key
board. The accents all have to be upon
dead keys-that is, keys that when
struck do not cause movement of the
carriage, so that the accent may first be
printed and then the letter, without
having to move the carriage back. In
some words it is necessary to use as
many as three accents, says the New
York Sun.
There are no capital letters. Besides
the alphabetical characters there are
the usual ten numbers in Siamese script.
The company first began making these
machines about three years ago, under
the instructions of a secretary of the
Siamese court, who came to this coun-
try for the special purpose. There are
now several hundred of the machines
in Siam, and the saving of time and
labor is much greater than would be
the case in any occidental nation, as the
Siamese have no script, and all letters
are printed individually. In no respect
does the mechanism differ from that of
the English writing machine, save in
the unimportant matter of the "dead
keys" There are 76 keys, the same
number as the regular machine of this
make.

PLAYING A FUNNY GAME.
Why the Lambs Are Always Fleeced
on the Stock Exchange.

Why the Lambs Are Always Fleeced
on the Stock Exchange.
The use of chips and counters is
great convenience in such games as
poker, faro and the like, says the Arena.
The business, SO called, of the stock ex-
change in Wall street and elsewhere is
carried on by the use of tokens or bits
of paper designated as bonds and stock
certificates, which are supposed to en-
title the holders of them to certain divi-
dends to be declared by managers of
railway and other corporations or to
certain interest installments payable at
stated times. The croupier at faro guar
antees prompt payment in cash to the
chip-holders at the end of the game. The
seller of stocks and bonds in the game
in "the street" guarantees nothing ex-
cept the title and genuineness of the
chips. The purchaser buys under the
rule caveat emptor as to price and value.
The value of his purchase depends
upon the volume of railway traffic,
transportation rates, the state of the
money market, the ability, the honesty
or dishonesty of corporation managers,
the manner in which corporation re-
ports and accounts are made and kept,
whether these reports and accounts are
fair or Cooked" whether the officers
wear Smoked glasses" and the like.
Now, it is plain that the so-called
lambs" are at a disadvantage in this
business, or game. In faro the splits"
give the dealer small percentage of
advantage, but this the player under
stands and may calculate on; the con-
tingencies and rascalities in the stock
dealing game, however. are incalcula-

WHY We Lost Hair.

Our condition of hairlessness has
been a subject of study by DR.. Exner,
a German biologist. Our ancestors, he
holds, were totally covered with hair,
and Its disappearance may be accounted
for by the fact that it's absence was
regarded as beauty, preference being
given in aboriginal mates to those
having the least of it. The hairs are
modified sense organs, which have
lost all connection with the nerves.
Primitive man was probably clothed
in an irregular covering of hair, which
varied in length, color, structure and
thickness with the functions for which
it was intended. The hair now remain
ing was left for q definite purpose.
Certain hairs serve as organs of touch,
notably the eyelashes, and in less
degree the eyebrows. Both serve to
protect the eyes. In animals the hair
serves to maintain and regulate the
body heat, but in man the hair. of the
scalp alone has such purpose.
