The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitutional dis
ease, requires q constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
OF the system, thereby destroying the founda,
ton of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The pro.
prietors have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list

He is then sent out into the open cOun-

Nature spread out before him in all
their luXuriance. Finding some suita-
BILE object for his attention, he proceeds
to reproduce the same, introducing,
perhaps, some imaginative details. 1t
is here that the system of squares
comes in. Those elegant stems and
feathery petals, which are apparently
thrown together without restraint, are
really the particular feature of the
mass of vegetation he has selected for
individual study. His long course Of
study in this line has given him the
faculty of following single vine
through tangled underbrush, and ig-
noring all the rest of the growth. The
tortuous course of this one vine, when
brought out by his brush, appears, to
the Western art critic, as crude and
without merit, whereas, in reality, it Is
full of interest. The greatest merit of
their work lies In the ability to touch
the characteristics of natural objects.

The uncommon woes of a married
lady in Damascus. Ohio, have impelled
her to seek a divorce. To prevent her
from going to party she declared that
her husband threw her false teeth in
the fire and concealed her switch OF
false hair. Now she can't 90 out until
he gives her money to secure new teeth,

lays down the law to his senatorial col
leagues, that he has been judge. lie speaks

six words minute and each word is en-
phasized by the waving of his chin whiskers:
His gestures are confined to a wide sweep OF
his arm from his body and an inverse mo-

Even when he wants the senate to adjourn,
he goes about it in way that is the very
quintessence of solemn dignity. For IN
stance, the other afternoon, when Mr..
Spooner was talking on the Quay case, Mr..
Pettus arose.
81 should like to ask the senator to give

Mr.. Pettus, uttering each word as if the

A SEAMLESS PATCH.
How Our Grandm theirs Did It-Fsl.
low These Careful Dr.
rectiOns.

Our grandmothers prided themselves
upon their patching. For time the
art languished, but, fortunately, dur
ing the last few years, since sewing
was introduced into the public schools,
the children are all being taught the
manifold uses of the needle, and many
a mother has to confess that her little
daughter can turn out far better
patch. than she can herself. Here is
a lesson on how to insert invisibly q
patch in serge, muslin or any material
easily frayed out:
First, cut away the torn or worn out
part, so as to form either square or
rectangular opening. Second, to fill
up exactly this hole, cut correspond
ing piece from a material of the same
texture and color, allowing on either
side a margin which when frayed out
will form four projecting tabs in the
semblance of the arms of cross.
Third, apply the patch thus divided
into five exact sections or squares in
such a way as to have the solid center
filing up the hole to a thread. Tack
the four arms on the foundation franz
ing the hole. Fourth, thread fine
needle with the two ends of thin
strand of silk, doubled in two to form
a loop; with this needle and silk darn
a straight row radiating from one of
the edges of the patch. Before draw
ing the silk right through, slip into
the loop one of the frayed out threads,
which hold lightly in place with the
thumb of the left hand. Now pull the
needle, and by this movement both
the silk and the frayed out threads
will be drawn into the material, the
smaller or pearl stitches scarcely
showing on the right side. Be care
full to have the darning started from
the very edge of the patch to avoid
any appearance of a break. Repeat
this thread by thread. These frayed
out threads, being about two inches
long, cannot be threaded and darned
without some skillful management,
hence their introduction into the loop
silk to drag them through the run

Joe Place, who lives out on the Bid

him about the bundle Joe lifted up the
