ELY'S CREAM BALM combines the i'm

the patient. This agreeable remedy has
mastered catarrh as nothing else has, and

The Silent Drummer.

The greatest commercial drummer
of the present age is the rightly
placed advertisement. 1t never tires,
has no hotel expenses. needs no mile
age ticket and finds its way every
where. A slight charge pays for its
transmission from ocean to ocean,
and from the Canadas to Mexico. 1t
travels to the Outposts Of civilization
for the merest trific of cost. 1t is a
veritable globe trottcr. The carrier
pigeon fails to travel so far. the navi-
gator cannot overtake it, and even
the ubiquitous telegraph wire has its
terminal behind the footprints Of an
al. Nor is this useless race with
distance or a mere experiment in
testing postal facilities. There is
money in it. 1t has commercial value.
1t is the living seed of the future
business crop.
The most successful business men
Of to-day recognize this fact, and
keep the silent drummer in perpetual
motion. Those who neglect this
means Of soliciting trade are the
losers thereby. Advertising is not a
fad, nor can it be failure. if due
prudence is taken in putting the
right thing in the right place.-Age

Your Wife.

This from an exchange is worthy
of more than passing thought by
those who are fortunate enough to
have a good wife:
Try to be thoughtful OF your wife's
comfort as you were when you first
tried to win her heart; she needs
your thoughtfulness more now.
Don't forget all the little courte-
sizes YOU used to show her and which
made you appear so we'll in her eyes:
if there were aught to endear her to
YOU before marriage she should be a
thousand times dcarer to you now.
Let her tell you her grievances and
tell you her worries: you may be able
to help each other, and You can
surely comfort each other.
Help her with the children some
times at night, when they are fretful
and YOU have no hired hel p. suppos-
ing that you do put in the plea that
YOU are tired and that YOU have been
working all day, hasn't she been
working all day, too, and isn't she
tired?
Never do anything that will make
you appear mean in her eyes.
Deserve her perfect confidence.

AN EVENTfUL SESSION.

The session of Congress just add

important one Commenting on the
work done the Washington Special
SAYS:
Much history has been made and
many unwise and foolish things have
been done: but little attention has
been paid to the best interests and
welfare of all the people, and good
care has been taken of the small
class known as the money owners.

ing and producing classes. The

have not bettered the conditions of
the people. The Dingley tariff has
brought no relief, and the issue of
dens.
We have war on our hands which
could have been averted, had the adj
ministration had the courage, the
greatness. the craftsmanship, to
have stood for the people and hui
manity as against the money power
and early in the year recognized
Cuban liberty and given Gomez and
Garcia arms and munitions, which
would have enabled them to gain
their own independence, without the
present sacrifice Of American blood
and treasure.
One of the great acts of this Con-
gress, to be considered by the people,
is the appropriation bill, which
proves the largest ever made by any
Congress. Representative Sayers of
Texas, minority member of the House
Appropriations Committee, has made
the following statement. of the APP
preparations made at this session:
The total appropriations at the
present session amount to 1892, 527,-
991. This includes $117, 1886, 220
permanent appropriations and $36l,-
7SS,O95 for war expenses. Deducting
the war expenses from the sum total
we have $3.50, 739, 900 to be charged
against the civil and ordinary ex-
penses of the Government. 1t should
be borne in mind that no river and
harbor bill has been passed. Con-
sidering this fact, the appropriations
for civil and ordinary expenses of
the Government at this session, and
excluding war expenses, exceed that
of any preceding session.
The amount of estimated revenues
for the fiscal year 1899 was $500,
900, 900; postal revenues, 500 ,S74,
G47; grand total estimated revenues
for fiscal year 1899, 1882, S74,647.
