er; but imagination will work won-
ders. Williams was in New York
city in 1858 and was lionized by some;
but although he is said to have arrived
at conviction that he was the sup
posed murdered dauphin, he continu-
ed at his missionary work until his
death. 1t is said the Prince de Join
vile offered Williams 100000 to re-
nounce his claims The prince denied
the story. The affair naturally caus-
ed much speculation, but to this day
there is no reliable evidence that
Eleazar Williams was "a Bourbon

Hunted RutterflIea wien 4 Gun.

One of the unexpected things is an
exhibit of 500 butterflies by an Amer
lean dealer, who is prepared to give an
interesting fund of natural history
with every sale-or without one. Who,
for example. would think of hunting
butterflies with gun? Yet here is
one that was killed with dust fired
from gun. 1t is from Batchain, one
of the Molucca islands. 1t has to be
shot because it always flies above the
trees, and it is so rare it commands
$50. Take another from India, with a
spread of ten inches. The tips OF it's
wings are marked to resemble the
heads of cobras, which is supposed to
be natures way of protecting it from
designing birds. Another Indian
specimen folds it's wings when il
alights and then looks so like brown
leaf in color and shape as to deceive
even the human eye. A big butterfly
from Honduras has large spots on the
inside of the lower part of it's wings.
which, when it is upside down, give it
the appearance of an owl. This insect

head down. 1t chooses twigs, rests on
the side toward the tree trunk and
keeps its wings open. A pretty fell
low from Cashmere is believed to have
suggested to the natives the design of
cashmere shawls, for there is a strik,
ing similarity. A blue insect from the
valley of the Amazon has a simmer
that has been seen at distance of a
mile. Thus one might go on infinitely.
The American firm, by the way, sends
out expeditions to hunt butterflies in
strange corners of the world, and one
may invest 81, 500 in a collection of
800 Incidentally, it has been discov-
cred that the United States levies a
tariff on butterflies. In France on the
other hand. the exhibitor escapes the
usual duty on the glass in his cases be.

valuable parts of the special boxes in
which they are mounted by a new pro,
cess on beds of plaster of Paris. Such
are the vagaries of tariffs. The collec-
ton excites much interest. Paris Let

Chronic Coughs and Colds
Are Catarrhal
Diseases.
Catarrh Is the Continual Scourge
of Christendom.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city, and nestles treacherous!y in every
hamlet. 1t flies with vampire wings
from country to country and casts a
black shadow of despair over all lands.
Its stealthy approach and its lingering
stay makes it dread to the physician
and pest to the patient.
1t changes the merry laugh of child
hood to the wheezy breathing of Group.
and the song Of the biushing maiden to
the hollow cough of consumption. In
its whitening grasp the rounded form of
the fond wife and mother becomes gaunt
and spectral, and the healthy flush OF
manhood turns TO the sallow, haggard
visage of the invalid
Cough takes the place OF conversation.
speech gives way to splitting, the re-
pulsive odors of chronic catarrh poison
the kiss of the fondest lovers, and thick.

ened membranes bedim sight, impair
hearing and destroy taste
Like the plague-stricken Egyptians o
cry of distress has gone out from every
household, and the mldew Of woe clngs
to every hearthstone.
Catarrh in some form, catarrh in some
stage turks as an enemy in the slightest
cough or cold and finishes its fendish
work in heart disease aud consumption.
No tissue, function, or organ of the
body escapes its rayagcs; muscles with
err, nerves shatter, and secretions dry
up under its blighting presence. SO
stubborn and diifcult of cure is this dis.
ease that TO invent remedy to cure
chronic catarrh has been the ambition Of
the greatest minds in ell ages.
Is 1t therefore any wonder that the
vast multitude of people who have been
cured of chronic eatarrh by Peruua are
so lavish in their praise of this rcmedy7
That the discovery of Peruna has made
the cure of catarrh a practical certainty
is not only the testimony of the people,
but many medical men declare il to be
true.
As drug store in this age of the world
is incomplete without peruna, it can be
obtained anywhere with directions for
use. A complete guide for the preven-
tion and cure of catarrh and all diseases
of winter, sent free by The peruna Med
icine Co, Columbus. Obi
