Catarrh usually starts with q cold in the head

Az fresh cold Ii taken the disease spreads get

windpipe. from wtndpipe to bronchial tubes and
from bronchial tubes to lung cells.
The mucous membranes all connect, with
another. Hence 1t fs easy to spread from one
part to another lined with this same membrane.
This is why catarrh in the head Affects the
throat and finally the stomach itself. bringing on
chronic catarrh Of the stomach, which is a most
obstinate form of dyspepsia.
Everybody is now we'll agreed that catarrh Is a
blood disease and not local one, and the attempt
to cure by local applications simply gives tenn
porary relief from the purely local symptoms with

There is new preparation recently offered to

WOMEN CONVICTS.

To a great number of women the
house they live in is almost on par
with prison. 1t is prison-like in the
monotonous regularity of daily du-
ties; prison-like in the absence of all
pleasure in what is done or joy in the
doing. And the reason is to be found
in womanly ill-health Few women
realize how intimately the general
health is related to the health of the
delicate womanly organs. A woman
may suffer with heart trouble" dis
orders of kidneys, liver or stomach,
or with nervous prostration as re-
suit of a diseased condition of the
womanly organism. Many such wo-
men doctor" for years for various
diseases and wonder why they don't
get better. They can't get better I'M
til the womanly organism is entirely
cured of its diseases.
This is not theory. 1t is state
ment of simple facts founded upon
the testimony of hundreds of thou
sands of women who have been cured
of womanly diseases by the use of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
They had been just dragging
around" for years, with throbbing
heads and aching backs, nervous,

HUNTING THE CHINCHILLA.

south American Indians Use Dyna-
mite to Secure Perfect Skins.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
Killing chinchilla with the aid of dyna-
mite is one of the lucrative pastimes of the
South American Indians which enriches the
commerce Of the world very considerably.
This season more than ever before chtnchil-
la has been the fashionable fur used in the
manufacture of cloaks and mufrs and for
the trimming of costly hats.
High in the mountains the ntmble-footed
chfnchtlla are caught and killed by half
savage Indians. Tact and skill are needed
to allure the cautious little animal from its
hole in the earth. Originally the Indians
used to use cactus prongs which are long
and sharp, to capture them in their holes by
impaling them on the end of this natural
spear. This punctured the skin and i'm
paired It's value. The trappers tried to
smoke the chinchilla out by making great
fires near the entrance of the burrows, but
the smoke, 1t was found, caused the skin
to turn yellow, which seriously deprecated
it's value Now the more progressive In
dians use dynamite.
After locating the chinchilla they form
network of grass and hardy plants, which is
placed around the hill on the side of which
the animal digs its holes. dynamite car
fridge, with time fuse attached, is then
discharged in the center Of the net, which
frightens the chinchifia so that they leave
their holes and scamper wildly to and fro
dians then dash into the arena with clubs
and kill them by striking them over the
head This is considered the easiest and
best method of killing them, as 1t does not
in any way damage the skins, which vary
in value from 50 to SIS each. When 1t is
considered that as many as 100 animals are
killed in one sortie of this character the
value Of the skins to the Indians, who are
shrewd commercial traders, may be imag-
ined
Some of the tribe own ferrets. which they
use to good advantage They pay as much
as $5 for one. The ferrets are taken to the
mountain tops and sent through the fur
rows, chasing the chinchilla out into the
open. where they are dubbed to death with
celerfty by the waiting Indians. The skins
are removed Immediately and placed on
shrubs to dry. The evening meal Of the
trappers often consists Of the bodies Of the
slain rodents, the meat OF which Is white
and tender. The hearts of the latter are
given to the ferrets.

the daytime. The nights are cool and clear,
and there being but little vegetation at the
height where the chinchilla are caught, The
mountains are for a long period each month
Illuminated by the rays of the moon, en-
abling the Indians to move about with great
agility for their prey. The chinchilla lives
principally on herbs. and often when 1t
comes out to feed is trapped by the Indians.
Four times year the tribes descend into
the semi-civilized villages at the base Of tbs
mountains with their skins. There they are
met by the various agents of the European
fur houses. One American house has its
representative there. too. The occasion of
the Indians arrival is usually made re-

is equivalent to $4,000 In American money

verted principally into mule and llama
stock, by which they estimate their wealth.

Farm Engine Ran Away.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The strange performance of a traction
engine, which took walk in Its sleep at
Lindsay last night gave bad scare to Mrs.
Mary Bloker and her children. The engine
had been used in thrashing during the day
ana at night was stored in a barn while the
men spent the evening at the village.
At o'clock Mrs. Bloker discovered the
engine tearing through cornfield straight
for her home. She was unable to imagine
what kind Of creature 1t was. and with
her children headed rapidly for the village.
When the men overlook the engine It had
traversed the cornfleld. knocked down two
fences and reached the fence Of Mrs. Rlo-
ker's lot. 1t Is supposed that some boy
started the mischief.

POLITICAL PROSPECTS.
Republicans Believe They Will Carry
Laurel-General Items.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Md. October 10. 1900.
1t is declared that the democrats of Laurel
district will not have everything their own
way this election Formerly Laurel dis
trict was conceded to be a democratic
stronghold and everything went their way,
but during the last few years their strength
has been on the decline, it is claimed, and
the last election or two their majorities
were quite small, The fight this fall will
be! nip and tuck. and it would not surprise
many IL the republicans come out ahead.
One reason so it is said. for the leaders of
the republicans expressing such confidence
is that there is split in the democratic
ranks in this town. which will be somewhat
Of a handicap in their fight. Those who
have kept tab on the registration say that
the republicans show slight increase over
the democrats, and again several of the in
tiuential democrats are lukewarm in their
work for their party this fall. The local
republican club is arranging for mass
meeting to be held next Tuesday night at
the Academy Of Music here, when Repre-
sentative Sidney E Mudda will be present
and will make an address to the people OF
the town. Several other speakers will be
present. 80
The Laurel High School foot ball team
will line up against the strong Park Ath-
letic Club team of Baltimore on the home
