Foul Smelling
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. McAlIister, of Harrodsburg,
XIV. had Catarrh for years. He writes !:
II could see no Improvement whatever,
though l was constantly treated with sprays

An Ancient CaatIe

Dunrobin castle, the Scottish ances-
trail seat of the duke Of Sutherland, Is
alone among regal residences in Great
Britain in being visible, In certain ut
osmpheric conditions, at a distance of
between thirty and forty miles, and
those who have witnessed, from the
coast at Lossiemouth, the stately edi-
flee, far across the waters, sparkling
in the rays of the setting sun. are not
likely TO forget the spectacle. Accord
to tradition, Dunrobin was first reared
by Robert, second earl of Sutherland,
In 1897; hence its name-the dunn. or
hill, Of Robin. In old characters the
name is spelled in various ways and
no data exist to determine its exact
age.
To the castle belongs the dlstlnc-
tion, at all events, of being, I'm it's

AN UNFORTUNATE EDITOR.
The Exciting situation in Which He
Was Placed For Punishment.

Curious methods OF Furnishing indis-
countrlt-. In South American
Sketches" Mr.. Crawford describes tile
interesting experience Of an editor
who had been unfortunate enough to
give offense to the ruling powers by
freedom Of his criticisms.
The editor was arrested and con-
fined In a narrow passage between
the cages OF two jaguars, notorious for
their bad tempers and their intense
dislike for human society.
The intervening space was so regu-
lated that neither OF the feroclous ami
mails could get its paws quite to the
middle line between the cages; so that
spare, active person, If very careful
TO follow the classical advice about the
advantages OF steering middle
course, might manage to pass without
special injury, though the achieve
ment would be both exciting and dan
gerous.
Our editorial friend happened to he
stout, and therefore was the more
easily reached by the occupants Of
the cages. AS IL to add insult to I'm
jury, he was given a chain on which
to sit. and at the same time was fur
nished with a copy of his own paper,
the issue which had brought him into
trouble, In order that he might medl-
tate upon its contents.
He tried to sit motionless and bolt
upright, feeling those sleepy cruel
eyes fixed upon him. At the slightest
movement or the rustic OF the paper,
uneasy mutterings arose from the
cages, and a paw would stretch steal
thily toward him. Leaning quickly TO
the other side, he was sure to be met
by the ugly claws Of the second jaguar.
1t was case OF Scylla and Charybdis.
Every few minutes the jaguars be-
came wildly excited and clawed fierce
ly at the shrinking editor, who, do his
best, could not escape those rending
toe-nails. His clothing was torn TO
shreds, but, except for few scratches
he was not really injured.
