Everything that affects the welfare
of the people is a legitimate subject
of comment to the real statesman.
The statesman is not a narrow man,
1t Is the politician who is narrow. The
true statesman looks out on the world
as it is, and seeks, as far as is in his
power, to remedy evils and encourage
the good.
Catarrh in it's various forms is rap
idly becoming a national curse, An
%undoubted remedy has been discov-
cred by DR.. Hartman. This remedy
has been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know Of it's virtues, and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject.. To save the country we must
saw the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
prevalent and stubborn of cure is ca

brought out at Dresden the last week
of December. The greatest interest in
it was shown among musicians all over
the world, for it was known that the
composer hal taken great pride in it,
and had put some of his hardest work
into it. It was to be his operate first
born, and Paoerewski's friends, at least,
expected that it would mark a new
era in the history of opera.
Well, the opera has been shelved for
a year, possibly longer, although the
composer has finished it, all but the

Niles, Mich.-On Sunday last at
Brooklyn, N. Y, William Peak, in his
day the most widely known theatrical
man in the country, died at the age
of 95. His death recalls the great
Peak family of Swiss bell ringers,
which was organized by him long be-
fore the civil and which at once
proved to be the strongest drawing at
traction in the United States.
BY chance he ran across a stranded
Swiss bell-ringing company and for a
small consideration he purchased their
paraphernalia. He organized a bell

Historical Objects Bring Small Prices,
An interesting sale OF historical oh
jects has lately taken place in Paris.
Among other objects put up to auc-
ton were the chests in which the five
milliards of war indemnity were con-
veyed to Germany after the war. These
were divided into two lots, one of
which realized IS francs and the 9TH
err IL francs. Evidently sentiment is
dead in France. One of the front
benches from the Luxembourg realized
only 80 francs. Perhaps the most GU
rious lot Of all was a billiard table
from the senate, which produced the
large sum of FL 16s sterling.-Chicago

ringing company and added this at
traction to his musical organization.
His company visited nearly every
town in the United States and repeated
it's visits many times, always drawing
crowded houses.
His great success continued until
this disastrous panic of 1873, which
drove him out of the business and
well-nigh financially ruined him. He
moved to Brooklyn, retired to private
life and never again ventured into his
former business. Mr.. Peak was the ia
ther of four children, Eddie, in the
music business in Oregon; Misses
Julia and Fanny, living in New York,
and William H. who is at present In

The tongues of the cat family are
covered with recurring spines. In the
common domestic cat these are small,
but sufficiently well developed to give
the tongue a feeling of roughness. But
in the lion and tiger the spines are
strong enough to enable the animal to
tear away the skin of a mans hand
merely by licking it.

of twister creepers; from these de-

hills except with caravans of porters
bearing trade goods. The skill with
which the bridge is built is something
marvellous. The Bonvalot de Bon
champs party set out from Djibouti, on

forded. But in the mountains of Abys-
sinia the torrents that pour down to
join the Nile are not so lightly
stemmed. Over one of these the Abys-
sinians, who have something like a
settled country and stable government,
have thrown the bridge. Unlike the
Brooklyn bridge or the suspension
bridge at Niagara, these Abyssinian
engineers had no cables, no scientific
bands of steel. Instead they had only
natures growth with which to with
stand natures force. But ingenuity

after US, slipping along on his horse at
a walk, while he peered into the woods
and high brush to catch a glimpse of
boy or horse. When he saw one he
called the riders name and rode for
home, unless the fellow caught gave in
to save the horses wind. And if sit"
called a boy from a position between
home and the hiding place, this usually
happened. This wasn't easy to do,
however, for the lay of the land was
such that the outs could work around,
moving north or south from the main
road and then eastward, while "it' had
to hunt sometimes half a mile from
home and far off on one side CT the
other.
Then when he was off the road beat
ing up after the sound of horses one
way he would catch the rattle of hoofs

read and write in Polish, German,

Paderewski wants to retire from the
concert stage and devote himself to
composition, but it always happens that
he has a lot of concert engagements
ahead of him and he puts his retire
ment off from year to year. Proba-
bly, he is not above rejecting that there
is a lot of money in concerts and none
in composition. 1t looks now as if he
would not take leave of the public for
two year at least, as he is seriously
considering a trip to Australia next
year.
He has just gone from here to his
Lake Geneva home, where he is pre-
pairing for his Russian tour, which will
begin about the time this letter is
published. The interest there is extra
ordinary. Even at this writing the re-
served seats for his concerts in War
saw st. Petersburg and Moscow are
being sold as fast as the government
can stamp them, although the prices
are higher than any Paderewski's man
ager ever charged in America, $3.50
each being charged for orchestra chairs
in Warsaw and So each in Russia. All
three of the concerts in Warsaw, the
capital of the pianist's native land, are
to be given for charity. Oddly enough,
this is the first time he has played in
Poland since he became famous.
