CAT AlRI

Catarrh7 has become such common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customaryto speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t Is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes 50.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried
to all parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they

USIC HATH FOYER.

Manuel Corsico, of Louisville, is re- l on account of the criticism which his musical work suffered He felt that, of course, but, like many artists, he also | felt obliged to continue to play for pay. But there came a sime when he felt that he could stop trying to please a fckle and undiscerning public. He re-
 tired, and we hear of him as enjoying
 ease with dignity. But ease with dig nifty is not a permanent thing, and MT. Corsico soon came to trouble. He owns a house which he has leased and he thinks as much of the rent from that house as he did of the pennies that were
 bestowed on him when he was daily
 rendering the works of the old and new
 in the house also seems to think good
 deal of the rent, so much that he has
 kept it instead of paying if to MT. Cor sico. At the beginning of the year MT. Corsico found that his tenant was three
 months behind in his rent, and he made up his mind that he must have it. But how to get it was the question. Tn his perplexity he thought of the power of music, as he had often seen it when he played. So he took his long disused hand-organ and hied himself with it to an advantageous place in front of the house which he had leased to the man who didn't pay the rent Then he play ed and played and played and then he played some more He found that his music had all its old power to charm.
 When he had played long enough the man paid him his money. It took only three hours for the power of music to touch the heart and the pocketbook of the recalcitrant tenant
 The success of MT. Corsica Is instruc tive. Perhaps real estate agents might find profit in adding a hand-organ and player thereof to their outfit.

SOME BOSTON EXP CE.

If Pittsburg takes advice based on Boston experience she will save money. Pittsburg is about to undertake the building of hose and patrol-wagons and of other vehicles used by the city de- partments, and Is warned by the Bos- ton Transcript that the venture will not pay. Boston has maintained for many years, in connection with its Fire de-
 partment. a repair shop equipped in
 the best manner and employing the
 best machinists, wheelwrights, black smiths, painters etc., that the market
 has afforded. It could build hose wagons and ladder-trucks, but it would not pay. Apparatus harness used to be made there, but it can now be bought more cheaply outside. The department formerly made its own mattresses, but it is now more economical to purchase them. In short, the shop has stopped manufacturing along all its former lines, and now devotes itself almost wholly to repairing. As a matter of dollars and cents, even this could be done at a less cost by private shops, but the element of necessity comes in at this point, for fire apparatus must be done when it is needed, and repairs may be required at any time of day or night, Sundays or holidays, so there must be a force directly under depart ment control. Other Boston experi- ences in the line of municipal owner ship have not been to the advantage of the taxpayers. The municipal printing plant is self-supporting, but the de- partments are paying more for their printing. More is paid, too, for general repairs, since the city established an institution of that character, than when each department looked after it's own interests, making the best terms it could,
 It's the old story. Business and poli tics don't go well together.

The spring at the lacing and the force of the wearer's back bone, which often gave up the task, was supposed to adjust the corset to the natural curve of the figure. Now darts and gussets are set in. No won der the woman who wants to do so can lace as she never laced before and still imagine herself perfectly comfort able. Though the sheath skirt is a fashion women can easily give up, they may thank it gratefully for having brought about decided improvement in stays.

In this model automobile red cloth was the material of both portions. On the bodice were trimming of red satin ribbon, yoke and collar of gathered white chiffon and slashed white silk revers embroidered in gilt and white Dressmakers who don't approve the pleated skirt are tell ing their customers that it will not go any further than underslSirt or foot founce. That may be right. but there's another side to the argument, and ev- eryoue has a right to her guess.

BRo1HER H4sKELL.s CASE.

# C41
 The Rev. Wesley c. Haskell, pastor of the Second Congregational church in Rockford, Illinois, has surprised his flock by resigning. He gives as his rea- son for resigning that he is not ortho- dox and cannot preach orthodoxy. "How can I be orthodox" he says, when I do not believe the Bible is the book of God from cover to cover? I do not believe in the substitutional theory of the atonement as held by the ortho- doX church. l am out of sympathy with the dogma that clings to the Apos- ties Creed. do not believe in the doc Urine of everlasting punishment as taught by the church. I cannot believe blindly against the truths which history, science and reason reveal. Can I, not believing in these things, preach in a church which does? I want to be hon. est with myself and my friends, and, above all, prize clear conscience"
 Brother Haskell Is certainly honest, but there are those who will wonder if he isn't little too sensitive. If all the preachers in orthodox churches who feel that they are not strictly orthodox should resign there would be a stir. Wouldn't it have been wiser for Brother Haskell to try to continue to do good" in his own church than to resign and make a sensation? Couldn't he have got along comfortably without being very orthodox, as many preachers in orthodox churches do?

The making of fuel briquettes from peat and petroleum is destined it is believed, to become a more and more important commercial industry. The fact has been abundantly established, 1t is claimed, that, by properly drain- ing peat mosses before cutting, the den- sity of the turf blocks can be increased fully 50 per cent, without resorting to artificial pressure; it being also assert ed that the hygroscopicity of the mass can be reduced to a minimum and its heating power being greatly increased by impregnating with fatty materials, petroleum being the cheapest among these. Further, it is found that in the manufacture of briquettes from coal and petroleum the latter combustible can be converted into semi-soid gelatinous condition by employing it as a solvent for magnesia soap, which latter not only solidifies the coal, but also increases the durability of the bri quettes, In applying this to peat, the latter, cut into the proper size, is steeped for five minutes in the prepared petroleum, the better qualities of peat absorbing from 10 to 15 per cent of their own weight, the inferior as much as 30.

According to the Medical Record, the death rate for consumption in the State of New York for the first eight months of 1899 showed an increase over the same period in 1898 of 66s. Should this rate of increase prove to have continued the remaining four months, when the statistics have been compiled, the in- crease in 1899 will be about 1000 deaths. and will reach 14,OO0 deaths from pull monary tuberculosis in the year, the highest rate ever known in the State.
