There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether; and until the last few years it was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced 1t n local disease,
prescribed local remedies and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be IA constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

How Old Are You

Here is a unique and clever way
to learn the age of your friends.
Learn it by neart and try it when
you can. 1t will amuse your friends
and afford a good mathematical ex
ercise for yourselves
One day there came to the court
of \ king gray-haired professor,
who amused the king greatly. He
told the monarch number of things
he never knew before, and the king
was delighted. But finally it came
to point where the ruler wanted to
know the age of the professor; SO he
thought of mathematical prob EN-.
"Ahem!" said the king. II have
an interesting sum for you. 1t is a
trial in mental arithmetic. Think
of the month OF your birth"
Now the professor was go years
old, and had been born two days he
fore Christmas, so he thought of II
December being the twelfth month
~ esq said the professor.
Multiply by two," continued the
king.

"Add i've"
es, answered the professor
doing SO.
Now multiply by fifty
YES"
add your age"
YES"
Subtract $685."
Yes"
add l15"
YES"
And now, said the king, might ]
ask what the result is?
Twelve hundred and sixty, replied
the professor wonderingly.
Thank you, was the kings re-
Spouse. So you were born in Deem
Der, sixty years ago, eh?
Why, how in the world do you
know? cried the professor.
Why, retorted the king, from your
answer-l260. The month of your
birth was the twelfth, and the last
two figures give your age.
Ha, ha, ha laughed the professor
Capital idea. I'll try it on the next
person. It's polite way of finding
out peoples ages.-Epworth Herald

the tone of an effort of ae able lawyer

A Great Session.

The session of Congress just ad-
journed will go into history as one OF
the most industrious on record, and the
shortest long session on record. In
1877 working days both houses have
passed 1875 bills, of which 283 are
932 are private acts granting pensions,
paying claims, and giving relief to
people who have been injured or suf-
fered damage in some way or another
through the government. A large
mum Der of the private acts were pen
sions growing out of the war with
Spain. The best previous record was
723 bills in US days.
During the session 12,152 bills have
been introduced, SO that 10 per cent. of
them have been enacted into laws,
which is another remarkable record.
The bulk of this business exceeds the
work of the four previous Congresses
combined during their ''1ong sessions"
In estimating the value of the work
of this session of the Fifty-sixth Con-
gress, it will be found that out of the
above mentioned 283 laws that have
been enacted, carrying a vast amount
Of important legislation, there are four
acts in particular which will be most
discussed during the campaign and
which may be considered really as
creative legislation. They are as fol-
lows: the financial bill, providing for
refunding the public debt into 2 per
cent. bonds; the formation of a com
p1ete and satisfactory territorial gov
eminent of Hawaii; the creation of
stable government in Alaska and the
enactment of a complete code of laws
for that Peninsu1ar; the Porto Rican
bill.
OF these four enactments probably
that which caused the most public
comment was the Porto Rican tariff
bill. There was at first an outcry
against the bill from some quarters,
that the manifest wisdom and gener-
osity of lie measure have since en-
tire1y quoted. The bill provides for
slight duty on Porto Rican products
in order to provide revenues to place
the government on It's feet. The dues
collected at both ends of the line, az
cording to the act, are to be turned
over to the Porto Ricans for the next
two years, together with the s., O00,C0
in dues collected by the United States
since its occupation. When two years
have expired trade between the two
countries becomes absolutely free.
The session has been about six
months long, but the time actually
given to these four great measures has
been exceedingly short. This fact
speaks we'll for the harmony and unity
existing in Congress. In each of the
four great laws mentioned it has been
necessary to break new ground and
the quiet manner in which it has been
accomplished augurs we'll for the future.

nuisance, it is more than likely that
the Council could hit upon some means
of raising the funds that would not be
a drain on the depleted treasury.
It is sincerely hoped by the people
that the Common Council will take ac-
ton in this direction at once. 1t should
be done because sanitary interests de-
mand it, because the law demands it,
because the people demand it, and be-
cause the little expenditure necessary
to do it now would prevent larger
expenditure IN the future.

There are pompadours without end,
but the one which is strictly correct in
style is soft and careless without the
immense roll inside to disfgure the
head and dattened not little directly

to some women shows the hair divided
into three parts with an invisible part

carried in a deep wave across the fore
head, and the sides pulled out very
full in large wave. Parting the hair

soft wave at either side, and putting
it out full below is another pretty
mode. The knot is worn high on the
head except in rare instances, when it
is seen low in the neck, and the latest
arrangement is one full high loop
standing high on the crown of the
head and crossed below as If it were

Three smaller loops are also very pref
