There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than in allthe other sections
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced 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 constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarah Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Tole-
do, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on
the market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send
for circulars and testimonials. Address.

OK with wooden Leg.

Contentedly chewing the cud on the
farm of Charles E. Wright, in the blue
grass region of Kentucky is wooden
legged steer which manages to get
around briskly, and shows his dis
pleasure when tormented by launching
out his wooden leg at the offender with
a force and precision that makes HIS
new member more deadly means Of
offense than his horns.
DR.. John E. Gray cut off the broken
leg and made and fitted the wooden
stump. The doctor says:
IA tree blew down on this steel. and.
one of the laige branches striking the
right hind leg below the hook. shivered
it into minute pieces. His body and
side were badly bruised, but as the
weather was extremely warm he could
not be used for beef. 50 his owner, ] !.
w. Sturgeon of Plano, KY, called
upon me to see what could do.
81 amputated the leg the same as
would that Of human being. After
the operation left him lying In the
shade Of several large forest trees near.
81 called again on the ninth day to
dress the leg and fonnd him in cheer
full mool. fund that the leg had
healed more rapidly than had expec-
ted. | returned on the twenty FIRST
day. when, as the wound had entirely
healed. set to work to make for him
a wooden leg. The artificial peg was
adjusted easily and is a success.
"My friend, Mr.. Wright, and / bought
the steer and walked it twelve miles ia.
TO town. The animal covered the dis
tancs as easily as if 1t had all the legs
which nature gave it. He limps less
than q man with an artificial leg.
This OK Is two and half years old,
weighs about 900 pounds, and Is about
seven-eighths silorthorn. He is taking
on fat at the rate OF pound and q
half day, and will weigh at maturity
/, 400 to 1000 pounds. We have train
ed him to kick an oak plank 0f bis

How Edison Won HIS Wife.

The idea Of the great electrician Edison
marrying was first suggested by an intimate
friend: of whom Edison timidly inquired
whom he should marry.
The friend somewhat testify replied, ANY
one" But Edison was not without senti-
ment when the time came. One day, as he
stood behind the chair of Miss Stillwell.
telegraph operator in his employ, he was
not little surprised when she suddenly
turned around and said:
"Ar. Edison. can always tell when you
are behind me or near me-" Edison 'front.'

I've been thinking considerably of late,
and if your willing 10 marry me l would
like to marry you"
The young lady said she would talk the
matter over with her mother. The result
was their marriage, and very happy one
it proved to be.

WORRIED BY OUR COMPETITION.
1t seems that the German manufac-
turers are now demanding more con-
eessions and privileges in order that
they may compete with this new dam
ger to their industries, and in Vienna
the Minister of Foreign Affairs has
called upon Europe to combine against
what he calls "the crushing COMPETE
tion of transatlantic nations"
In other lines than manufactured
articles the Americans have so COM
pletely captured the German markets
that the whole agricultural population
is arrayed against the vast importa-
tions of wheat, corn and oats from this
coantry, and measures are under con-
sideratlon to break the control which
American petroleum has gained of the
markets of tie Empire.
The butchers and meat dealers of
Berlin complain that $7,664 900 worth
of meats were imported into Germany
in 1896, principally from the United
States, and at prices with which they
are unable to compete. They there
fore petition the Government to open
the frontiers to the free importation eft
animals and meats from European
countries, and to restrict by all practi-
cable means the import of meats from
America, which is steadily increasing
from year to year.
Even in the matter of apples the
Yankees have seized the market, and
last year there were landed at the sim
gle port of Hamburg, before Novem-
ber Is, 64, 53S barrels. In short, Amer
ican competition is now spoken OF in
Europe as tue .'transatlantic danger.

A HABIT OF uUMoR.

Throughout the petty perplexities
and problems VIII ich crowd the lives of
most women, habit Of seeing the
comic side of every situation is won
derful help to face it. 1t is common
enough to see the s'funny side" after
the occasion has passed: the advance is
made when we are able to see the hum
orous element while we are in the
midst of the distractiDg affair. When
that point is reached, the pricks cease
to prick and the problem no longer dis
tracts. We are able to solve the ques-
tion With a smile, and we often dis.
cover thereby our mountain was but a
mole-hill after all.
The charge is often made that wo-
men have no sense of humor, some
times that women have no sense of
proposition, because they allow the
trifling things of life to di tract and
trouble them to an unreasonable de-
gree. If this charge has any truth, it
is the fault of the training which made
the small affairs of life peculiarly the
woman's province, and forbade her to
undertake larger problems, or to at
tempt to gain broader experiences.
The woman who has met and solved
some of the graver questions of life
does not torment herself overmuch
about an ill-ftting gown, an impudent
cook, or delinquent tradesman. She
has learned that such petty annoyances
are not worth the sacrifice of her peace
of mind. She has learned to see the
comic side of the affairs that used to
worry her. Things assume their right
proportion. and she smiles afresh, NOT
only at her present victory, but at hel
past defeat.

The fashionable life of great city,

Those spaces of leisure which formed so
calm and harmonious setting around
the pleasures and the duties of our moth

from our life's picture-gallery, leaving
only confused overlapping of our
can vases of thought and sensation, one

Our ancestors in colonial times. or in
country districts, or in provincial
towns, may have lacked the manifold
opportunities which We consciously en-

There are no margins in modern city

The Japanese, who know the secrets

gins. They will put in large room
only single vase, with single spray
of blossoms, a single exquisite picture,
or a single bit of priceless bronze.
After one has lived in the room long
enough to learn the full beauty of this
single object, it is replaced by another.
But two are never placed there to-
gether, lest neither be rightly apprecia-

our sorrow-we need a margin. The

beauty is subtly malred and whose

Sam Jones Ideal Man.

The Rev. Sam Jones expressed
some sound sense in very vigorous
English in a recent sermon when he
said:
"The place to take the true mea-
sure of man is not in the market
place, or the amen corner, not in the
field or forum, but at his own freside.
There he lays aside his mask and you
may Learn whether he is an imp or an
angel, king or cur, hero or humbup.
l care not what the world says of him,
whether it crowns him with glory or
pelts him with bad eggs. 1 care not a
copper what his religion would be. If
his babies dread his home coming and
his better half swallows her heart every
time she has to ask him for five dol
lar bill, he is fraud of the first water,
even though he prays night and morn
ing until he IS black in the face and
shouts hallelujah until he shakes the
eternal hills. But if the children run
to the front gate to meet him, and
loves owns sunshine illuminates the
face of his wife when she hears his
footsteps, you can take it for granted
that he is true gold-his home in
heaven and the humbug never gets
that near the throne of God. He may
be rank atheist and red flag anar-
chlst, and Mormon, and Mugwump;
ne may buy votes and bet on the cleo
tions; he may deal from the bottom
and drink beer until he can't tell a
silver dollar from a circular saw, and
still he is infinitely better than the
man who is all suavity, but who makes
his home hell-who vents on the
heads of his helpless wife and children
the Ill nature he would like to inflict
on his fellow men but dares not. 1
can forgive much in that fellow mortal
who would rather make men swear
than women weep; would rather have
the hate of the world than the con-
tempt of his wife; who would rather
CAL anger to the eye of king than
fear to the face of a child"
