Never was there any positive. cure for

discovery which is now embodied in. his
new system of treatment. 1t cures
weak lungs, bronchitis, asthma, coughs,
consumption, catarrh and every. other
ailment of the pulmonary region 1t
destroys every germ that can affect the
respiratory system, and even in ad-
vanced stages of lung trouble positively
arrests the tubercular growth, while it
also builds UP the patient so that his
system is enabled to throw off scrofula,
rheumatism and other diseases. Thou
sands of cured cases already prove
these statements. Thousands OF CRATE

The system consists of three remedies
which act simultaneously and supple

Nearly everybody you meet will feel
insulted if you say they have weak
lungs. All seem to have solid faith
in the sOundness of their own breath
ing machine. They may admit they
have a heavy cold" "a touch of bron-
chitis," or even "a spell of asthma, "
but as to weak lungs, NEVER. Even
the poor consumptive, who scarcely
speaks without coughing, whose cheeks
are wasted, hollow, and bear the hectic
flush Of doom, will assure you that he
will be all right when the weather
changes.
How many poor bread-earner there
is who keeps on and on at his daily
toll. taking cough medicines by fits and
starts but never quite curing his cough,
while this same cough is but symptom
of decay that is eating into his lungs,
and will in time cause their Destruction.

Special Dispatch to The Call.


WASHINGTON, Jan 14.-Represen-
tatives of the Civil Service League ap-
peared before the House Census Com
mittee to-day and argued against anv
bill which contemplated having ap-
pointments made outside of the civil
service.
F. L. Siddons made the first adj
dress. He insisted that the Civil Ser
vice Commission would have all the
eligibles sufficient to make all the ap-
pointments wanted in Washington.
He said that the supervisors should be
selected by competitive examination
under the direction of the Civil Service
Commission. He did not think it would
be practicable to have the enumerators
so selected, for supervisors under the
protection of the civil service would Sc
lect the enumerators without regard to
political considerations and solely with
a view to their ability The clerks in
Washington should also be under the
civil service.
William Reynolds of Baltimore, who
followed. said that the appointments,
unless placed under civil service, would
practically be made by Senators and
Representatives and supervisors so Sc
lected would make appointments OF
enumerators under the direction of the
Senators and Representatives He did
not think it would be of any advantage
to have appointments made from both
parties under a bipartisan system. as
there would still be politics brought in,
to the detriment of the service.
Scarcely any one has a good word
for the last census" he said. More
complaints were made of the last cen
sus than of any previous census. The
general complaint was that men en-
ployed were not efficient"
Heatwole asked if these complaints

Pigs and Witchcraft.

Two women of the lower class were
quarreIing violently the other evening in
Heavitree, a suburb of Exeter. One yelled
to the other, You wretch, you always
keep a black and a white pig so that YOU
can witch US; you ought to be scragged -
The one so addressed, it seems, has lived
in her cottage some twenty years. She
has during this period, it is said, always
kept a couple of pigs, one of each color.
and her neighbors consider she does this
so that she may enjoy the very question
able powers of witchcraft. No butcher
in the neighbOrhoOd will buy her pigs,
as, if he was known TO do so, he would
certainly lose the local custom, upon
which he relies.-Notes and Queries.

Sikh Regulations.

A set of regulations, intended to dis
tinguish the Sixhs irrevocably from those
around them, was the rule of the Five
Kakkas. Every Sikh must have with him
five things beginning with the letter k.
viz: Kesa Qong hair), kangha "a comb
karada "a knife), kirapana Ia sword) and
kacha Cbreeches reaching TO the knee).
The purpose of these rules was that every
Sikh should avoid shaving, as do Moham-

stantly armed and free from the long gar
ments that might impede him in a fight

no time did the Navy Blues have
chance They played well in the heid'

superior to that of the Bells. They .could
not hit hard, however, and the few times
they did hit they failed to come even
near the punching feature.
In the first inning the Navy Blues went
to the bat first and scored run the
first thing. Sullivan hit for a double ana
moved up one on Green's single. Fowler $
sacrifice scored Sullivan and there were
two on bases. Then Toft showed Of what
