AVOID DANGER.
The Danger of Catsrrh OIntments That
Contain Mercury.

Tho Danger of Catarrh Olntments That
Contain Mercury.
This journal, although more particu-
larly devoted to all that interests
finance, commerce and manufacture
ing, Is nevertheless always awake to
the need and wants of It's readers, let
the subject be what it may. We were
asked to investigate and report upon
the merits of the various catarrh reme-
dies on the market. The production
of preparations of Injurious compost
tion cannot, unfortunately, be stopped
or restricted at present, or until our
state legislatures can be induced to
pass such suitable and stringent laws
as will effectually prevent their ap-
pearance on the market. In the mean
time, the people must look out for
themselves. In this matter, we have
made most careful and painstaking
investigation, realizing the confidence
that would he placed in our reply. Our
medical staff employed to make such
Investigations were most fayorably
impressed with the preparation known
as Halls catarrh cure, manufactured
by f. j. Cheney & Co. of Toledo, Ohio,
and agreed that this peerless remedy
deserves cur highest Endorsement.
Many of the catarrh remedies on the
market contain mercury, which de-
stroys the sense Of smell and deranges
the whole system when entering
through the mucous surfaces. From
analysis we found that Halls catarrh
cure contains no mercury. 1t is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces Of the sys-
TEN. We have no interest whatever
in this matter beyond faithfully serv-
ing our readers and as our indorse-
ment is extended without reward OF
any kind, and is wholly unsolicited by
this company, and will be received
with the full credence that all our
statements have met with for the past
eighteen years.-Southern Review of

FIGHT THE FIRE.
SEARCHLICHT ON FIRE ENGINE
IN NEW YORK CITY.
To Aid the Flremen In Lighting Up
Dark Places In Tall Buildings That Are
Afre-It Is a Success-Are Self Reg
ulating.
New York Letter.)

Fire Chief Croker expresses himself
as being greatly pleased with the
searchlight Of the La France engine,
an exhibition test of which was given
the other night in New York. Many
other officials of the fire department
who were present also spoke highly OF
the searchlight. Superintendent Louis
Divien of the La France company
worked the searchlights. There were
two of them attached to the engine.
Each of them was about eighteen
inches in diameter. They were de-
tachable and were worked both on and
off the engine. A small insulated wire
cable was fastened to each light. In
front of the engine house stands
twelve-story building, and one of the
searchlights was turned upon Its up
per stories. The light illumined cir
ameter. The light shot far above the
building, showing that it can easily be
sent to the top of any skyscraper in the
city. When thrown horizontally up
Mercer street the searchlight illumined
the fronts Of buildings a half-dozen
blocks away. The light penetrated the
smoke from the engine easily. or
course, this smoke was not so dense
as that which will be encountered at
many fires. The new engine has
frame and running gear much like
those of the ordinary fire engine. The
boiler is combination of nest tubes
and snake fues. On the frames in
front of the boiler is mounted Forbes
engine, light and compact. Directly
connected to the engine Is a marine
type multipolar generator, supplying
sixty-five amperes of current at a
pressure of eighty volts. This gener-
ator is entirely inclosed, making it i'm
possible for rain or fire streams to
reach the armature. On each side OF
the drivers seat is placed an 18-inch
protector, and the seat folds over so
that the projectors can swing through
a circle. They can also be placed at
any vertical angle. The projectors are
supplied with DETECTING glass fronts,
making it possible to cover a large
area with the light at short range, or
by using the plain glass fronts, also
supplied, the light may be thrown out

WISHED HIMSELF POOR.
The Marquis of Winchester Envied
Plain ,Iohn Smith.

Plain John Smith.
The marquis of Winchester, whose
name figures in the list Of Transvaal
victims, was exceedingly popular with
his soldiers, writes a London corre-
spondent. There was one duty, how
ever, in connection with the House
hold grigade which he positively de-
tested, and many stories are told Of
the marquis stubborn protests against
going on bank guard. The staff quar-
tiers assigned the officers in Thread
needle street were close and stuffy, and
the marquis invariably left them with
a violent headache. Once when going
off duty he said to the sergeant: This
job always makes me wish such a COM
modify as filthy lucre had never been
invented. Then there would be no
bank guard" But my dear lord"
came the reply, you wouldn't have
had an income Of SO many thousand a
year. That might not have been very
pleasant, either"
"Oh, sergeant" rejoined the mar
quis, with smile, ''it is not the first
time in my life that l have wished l
had been born plain John Smith, with
out a sixpence in my pocket unless
had earned it."

Austrian Court Customs.

In the Austrian court It is contrary to
custom for perishable articles to ap-,
pear twice on the imperial table. The
result is large perquisites for the at
tendants. To one man fall all un-
corked bottles. to srsther the wine left
In the glasses. to another the joints.
and to still another the game or the
sweets. Every morning sort Of mar
ket is held in the basement Of the pal
ace, where the Viennese come to pur-
chase the remains.-New York Post. !

Prayers for Blessings.
The Lumberma u.

For all the lumberman's rough jocu-
larity, his heart is right, says Rollin
Lynde HART in the January Atlantic.
Once the forest harbored fugitives
from justice; but the railroad brought
the sheriff, the sheriff brought the law,
and law brings decency. Besides, as at
sea and on the plains, the open air
breathes spirit of chivalry. Suppose
a man affronts waitress; twenty de-
tenders leap to their feet. Suppose a
poor fellow is hurt; round goes the
hat. What is more, two comrades will
drop their work and take him sixty
miles to the doctor. And sad to tell,
there is need enough for that sort of
sympathy. "Woodman," says Helen,
who, in spite of my earnest remon-
STRANGE, never verifies her quotations,
"Woodman, spare that toe!" A fine
hero, no doubt, is this man of the for
est, brave and a generous soul; but
nevertheless, as in the case of Mr..
Burgess impurpled heifer, I'D rather
see than be one." For, roundly outdo-
ing that sly humorist's confessed pref
ence for fingers rather than toes"
the lumberman does his best to dis
pense with both. What are left by
the woods are claimed by the mill.

Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
More Than Doubled Their Stock.
The following letter, written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, AL
berta, Canada, formerly of Washing
ton, to a friend in the United States,
Is only one Of hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done today by any
good, sober and industrious farmer
who chooses to make his home in the
dominion.
Dear Sir: You want to know how

Alberta. l am happy to inform you
that l am not ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast OF
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington, Wash,
on the 29th day of May, driving all the
way, We had time to build our
log house the first fall, and to make
us comfortable for the family and
stock. We then built four stables, 1Sx
20 inside, so that we could put every
thing inside them when the cold got
down to the fifties, and worked hard
getting up the stables, and got through
clubbing on the LIST of December; but,
to our surprise, we had no use for the
stables only for the milk COW and two
spans of. horses. The balance of the
horses lived on the prairie all winter,
and took care Of themselves. The doors
of two stables were left open for them
to go into in a cold time, but they
would not do 1t, but stayed out on the
prairie the coolest night we had and
looked as spry as crickets.

curiosity as to his appearance. for he
had been heralded throughout the

WANTS A DECENT BURIAL.
One of the Great Anxieties of the
Head of a Chinese Household.

One of the Great Anxieties of the
Head of a Chinese Household.
A sympathetic foreigner, recently
writing to an American newspaper,
bewailed the heartlessness of Chinese
sons and daughters who in the parents
lifetime prepare his coffin and shroud
and openly talk with him OF his de-
mise. The facts do not justify the
sympathy, for there can be no truer
evidence of filial piety in China than
for a child to present to his parent a
burial outfit. Let the head of the
family be assured by the indisputable
evidence of the coffin in the house that
a respectable burial will be his, and
one of the greatest anxieties Of his life
is relieved The coffin is proudly dis
played to each guest, the later never
failing to add his testimony to the
filial piety of the younger generation.
The force of the Irish bull that hopes
you may live to eat the hen that
scratches on your grave" is quite lost
in China. 1t is singular to note with
what certainty Chinaman vino is old
or ill will prepare for his demise Pre-
monitions Of coming fate seem to enter
into his soul and he sends word to his
relatives and friends that he is about
to die-what day can they come to his
funeral? If he has not been forehand-
ed enough to secure his burial outfit
there is a great commotion among the
households till money is collected for
the coffin and also for feasting and
for a funeral is a great social

Photographing the inside of the

cult operation, whereas it is really a
very simple undertaking. The pa

by a cord attached to tie film. There
is also a conducting wire which ex-
tends from the electric light out % an

are taken by pulling the cord. which
enables the film to run past the lens,

JULIA MORRISON JAMES.

Julia Morrison James is for the pres.
ent probably one of the best advertised
actresses in the country, owing to her
acqulttal at Chattanooga, Tenn, on the
charge of murder. She shot and killed
Frank Leiden, member Of the COM
pany. The shooting took place on the
stage before a large audience, and pro-
duced a great sensation. AS developed
at the trial, Mrs. James seems to have
been made desperate by the insults and
advances of Leiden, and while her feel
ings were thus worked upon she did the
killing. The jury took the view OF her
counsel, that at the time OF the shoot
ing Mrs. James was suffering from
emotional insanity. The verdict gives
general satisfaction. Julia Morrison
James is well known in the theatrical
world, and her friends and acquain-
tances in and near New York city all
testify to her former good character
and her pleasant and agreeable dispo-
sition. During her cross-examination
she stated that she had no money with
which to hire lawyers, but that her hus-
band had money. Her husband has
accompanied her on her professional
tours since their marriage, and was in
the city of Chattanooga at the time OF
the shooting. Mrs. James concealed

A Russian Woman Editor.

An accomplished young Russian,
Anna Evremoff, is now in this country.
She was at first an editor in her own
country; but, committing the fatal mis-.
take of having original opinions, her
paper was suppressed, and she betook
herself to the University Of Heidel-
berg and was the first woman ever
granted a diploma in law at Leipsic.
The story of her degree is that she
was refused for the sufficient reason
that she was a woman. One day the
king of SaXony visited the university
and, noticing this one woman among
the many men. accosted her and, find
ing that she was a Russian. asked her
