If this condition had come suddenly it

rid of such condition. Every woman

Drying preparations simply develop dry
catarrh; they dry up the secretions
which adhere to the membrane and de-
compose, causing a farmore serious
trouble than the ordinary form of cata-
rrh. Avoid all drying inhalan and
use that which cleanses, sooths and
heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such rem
edy and will cure catarrh or cold in
the head easily and pleasantly. All drug
gists sell it at so cents or it will be mail.

Electricity reports that the opera
ton of the telegraph lines Of the
Argentine Republic Is greatly hamper
ed by the fact that myriads of small
spiders weave their webs on the wires
until they hang down in regular fes-
toons. These masses of cobweb when
dampened by rain or dew establish
leaks by drawing off the current,
and so great is the number of these
minute leaks that the capacity of the
lines is sometimes reduced to only =

And told friend the selfsame day,
"'Twas sad to- think

Was such she must
Inform a lady (which she nussed,"
That Mrs. B.

Have mentioned, she
Gave needlework to 80 B.

But further needlework refuse.
Then Mrs. B.,
AS you'll agree,
Quite properly, she said, said she,
'That she would track
The scandal back
To those who made her look SO black"
Through Mrs. X.
And Mrs. J.
She got at last to Mrs. A.
And asked her why,
With cruel lie,
She painted her so deep dye.

riages that are run from the Wells street

didn't notice when she got in that there
were no horses hitched to the thing. Her
whole attention was being paid to the

on the sidewalk looking for passengers.

ahead, so she sat with her hands In her
lap and rode contentedly along. At the
corner Of Madison and Dearborn streets
several passengers got off. and then for
the first time the lady from the country
had a chance to look out in front. She
saw the operator pull nickel plated lev

There was q look of mingled alarm and

BRITISH LOAN TAKEN.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Explains
Early Closing of subscriptions.
LONDON, Aug. SIN the house of
commons Mr.. Benjamin Louis Cohen,
Conservative member Of the east diyi-
sion of Islington, asked the, chancellor
Of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, the reason Of the
early closing Of the subscriptions
for exchequer bonds. The chancellor
said the lists were closed as soon as the
bonds had been subscribed for. He had
received an offer from an Anglo Amer
lean house to place half the issue in
America on the same conditions
as issued here. This, he added,
assured the success Of the loan.
But, there was another reason.
Last Thursday, the reserve of the Bank
OF England stood at the lowest point for
years, and he was advised that great
relief might be afforded here by the
movement of gold from the United
States if large part of this loan (el0,-
OOO, OOO) was taken there.
