A FEW REASONS.
Which Are Rapidly Making a New
 Catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca-
 tarrh cure, has the following advantages over other catarrh remedies: First: These tablets contain no cocaine, morphine or any other injurious drug and are as safe and beneficial for children as for adults; this is an important point
 when it is recalled that many catarrh remedies do contain these very objection able ingredients.
 Next: Being in tablet form this remedy does not deteriorate with age, or an ex- posture to the air as liquid preparations invariably do.
 Next The tablets form not only pre- serves the medicinal properties but it is so far more convenient to carry and to
 use at any time that it is only ques- ton of time when the tablet will entirely supersede liquid medicines as it has all ready done in the medical department of the United States army.
 Next: No secret is made of the compo- sition of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they contain the active principles of Eucalyp- tus bark, red gum, blood root and Hy- drastin ,all harmless antiseptics which, however, are death to catarrhal germs
 wherever found. because they eliminate them from the blood.
 Next: You cannot cure catarh by local applications to the nose and throat. be- cause these are simply local symptoms and such treatment cannot possibly reach the real seat of catarrhal disease which is in the blood; for this reason, fnhalers. douches, sprays and powders never really cure catarrh, but simply give temporary relief which a dose of plain salt and wa ter will do just well.
 Catarrh must be driven out of the sys- tenn, out of the blood by an internal remedy because an internal remedy Is the
 only kind which can be assimilated into the blood.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this better than the old form of treatment because
 they contain every safe specific known
 to modern science in the antiseptic form
 of the disease.
 Next: The use of inhalers. and spray ing apparatuses, besides being ineffective | and disappointing, is expensive while a | complete treatment of Stuart's Catarrh | Tablets can be had at any drug store in the United States and Canada for 50 | cents. thu-sat-sun.

The weather reports show that warm unsettled weather prevailed over south ern, Central and Lake Districts yester- day. the rainfall being moderately -heavy in Central Districts, and the rain turning to snow in the North and also In west ern Texas.
 These unsettled conditions were caused by two storm centers; one over Lake Michigan. and the other over Soutnern Texas. The latter also gave brisk to nign winds in parts of Texas and Arkansas;; This disturbance would, 1t was expected by the local officials of the Weather Blu reau, cause rains over this region last night, which will be followed by clearing; much colder weather today. as cold wave covered the entire Middle West yes terday morning, and its effects will be felt here to some extent today.

Insect Pe.ts i'm Brazil.

I should take small gang of prac- tical coffee planters from Ceylon with good digestions to be not afraid of ghiggars, ticks and Derne AiesLto say nothing of the dear little mosquito. The writer had extracted during four years in Brazil no less than 200 ghiggars from underneath every toenail of both feet. The Portuguese, Brazilians, Ital- ians and Spaniards called it recrea- tion on Sunday to dig them out of each others feet. Of all the vile insects on earth, the Berne fly is the worst. She lays her eggs inside your flesh, and matches three very ugly insects an inch long, with three rings of bristles round the body and sharp nippers. They take about six weeks to develop under your skin; then commence to turn somersaults just when you want to go to sleep after hard day's work in the sun. The natives of Brazil adopt a novel way of extracting the brute when full grown; they tie on piece of raw pork and the Berne comes out of your skin and takes header into the piece of pigskin.- -Ceylon Observer.

HOW TO MAKE AN ARBOR.

The arbors usually seen in American gardens look like the tops of old mar ket wagons with the cloth torn off. They are rounded-nay shapeless- structures built of painted Slats with sharp edges that cut tender growths. They remind one of the ribs of some decayed boat. Don't make it like that
 Procure some tall saplings with the bark on (ash or oak is most durable) four to six inches i'll diameter, around which rose branches and climbers can be bent without breaking. Set them up two and two with wide spaces be- tween the pairs, and join them over head about eight feet from the ground. The posts should be at least two feet under ground, and that part well pro- tected from decay by dip into boil ing tar. A strong buttress on the out side will strengthen against the winds. The path-by preference q grass walk-is underneath. The beds outside must be prepared to the depth of three feet with thoroughly rich soil. On one side you may grow elem atis flammula and jackmanni-alike in treatment. as both bloom on new wood late ill summer grapevine on the sunnier side. roses-such as Crimson Rambler, Gloire, hybrid Chinas, Blairi No. 2, Felicite perpetue and other hardy climbers which will make it bower of beauty. As the sunny bor- der will be very wide, put in Bracteata poppies, hollyhocks and on the shaded side Madonna lilies. peonies and her. baceous phlox and delphiniums.-Anna Lea Merritt in November Lippincott's Magazine.

GEO. MooREs VIEWS ON DEATH

In Lippincott's Magazine for No vember. the author if Esther Waters" says in his whimsical and irresistible manner:
 ''That I should not desire to see my mother before she died will seem at first strange; some may even deem me deficient in natural feeling, but many will understand my feeling better; for a feeling truthfully expressed must
 find an echo, though the echo be re- mote; I cannot be only one to whom farewells and partings are so intense q suffering that no price seems too much to pay to escape them. Maybe this is a personal feeling, inseparable from me even if I were convinced that we shall be raised from the dead. Maybe it is a consequence of the be- lief. that with this life all conscious ness passes from us. I only know that l do not desire to see human face at the moment when light and sound will die out of my eyes and ears, when sense of touch will escape from my hand. It is the appearance of death, not death itself. that frightens me. Death may be beauty, truth and hap piness; we know it is the one thing that is harmless. whereas life is cer- tainly ugly, false, bitter. ephemeral. If we were ruled by reason instead of instinct. few would choose to remain living. and those few who did choose life would do so because they pre- ferred to endure life rather than war against purpose which may lie be- hind veil, and for the due working out of which our submission to the coil of things is required

Congressman Hull, who has been there blurts out the truth about inc situation in the Philippines. Listen to him: T think it is high time to in- quire whether we intend to spend $75,- 100000 a year for the maintenance of an army and government in the Phil ippines chiefly for the benefit of the foreign merchants in trade there. I believe that for some years at least we must expect to keep an army of 10000 an imperialist flor revenue only. and therefore believes that he and his fel- low speculators should profit more from the expenditure of that 5,OOO,- GOO yearly, which ordinary citizens who will not make a cent out of the annexation of the Philippines will have to pay, in the interest of the holders of the franchises Congressman Hull and other millionaire spectators are clamoring for. That the chairman of the committee on military affairs does not exaggerate the number of troops which will have to be kept in the Phil ipppines is shown by the statement of General Wesley Merritt to the London correspondent of the Chicago Daily News, based upon advices coming to him from army officers in the islands. General Merritt, by the way, is the per son who assured the Paris peace com
 
 sufficient to conquer the Filipinos. Here is what he has to say to-day on the same subject: "The present situa- ton is a source of great anxiety to the strong feeling among them that thereal facts in the case have been kept back by the Washington government. The United States is in possession of rich but small area of the whole territory. The insurgents are likely to main- tain guerrilla fighting for an indefinite period, thus seriously retarding the final conquest of the islands. The en- emy is blackmailing the native towns and villages without difficulty, obtain ing all the necessary supplies, since native can live on a handful of rice day. Doubtless, the American people will be sorry to be assured that a per manent army of 10000 soldiers will be required to hold the Philippines, but conservative officers on the spot are convinced that this view of the situa- tion is correct"

---- it. Hanna, as republican leader in publican leader in congress. MT. Ald- rich is heartless when it comes to poll itics. With his keen, hawklike eye, he sees his way. Friendships do not prove obstacles. His one master is business-no other orders bother him.
 But he is not individually omnipo- tent. There are silent forces in the , senate which ,henc0Hsistently regards. < He never forgets tha the dares not run counter to republican leadership. This is best represented by the cau- tious and timid Allison. It is usually said that he uses Allison. It would be so that they will not offend Allison. He knows the Iowa statesman and his most intimate associates. Their op- position may not be adamant, when encountered, but it is as deep and wide as the earth. What matters whether the cannon ball is shattered against stone or buried in earth as long as it does not get through? Aldrich does not assault the conservative repub- lican leadership of the senate. He works with it. The policy of the silent rulers he works out.
 In his cold and em motionless way, AL 1ison watches the dashing, though in- conspicuous, leadership of Aldrich. It is nothing short of inspiriting and thrilling to the student of legisla tive management. So impressively suc- cessful is Aldrich that one is apt to run away with the idea that he is over towering the great men of the senate. If one looks closer, it may be seen that he is working under their wing. His judgment is almost fault,ess, but he works, not as an individual in whom confidence is reposed, but as the rep resentative of sthe ruling group.
 Always does he ingistently present his own side-that of business, Of commerce. When he establishes his own ideas he forges fearlessly ahead. But he moves with the consent of the recognized leadership. Without his associates he could not have the house, could not have the voting ma jority of the senate. In him there is no great personal confidence. The greatest of all leaders, he leads with consent. He killed the original Porto Rican legisla- tion at the request of the American Protective Tariff league, after the re- publican leadership in the senate had consented to the programme. Far sighted, resourceful, forceful, adroit, bold, cautious, lnasterful in ability tC grasp and determine, he is splendid executive, great leader, for the gov erning leadership of the United States senate.
 Senator Aldrich is plain man, with simple tastes. In Washington he lives in a hotel and works at the trade of managing legislation necessarily. In the lobby of this hotel he may be seen almost any evening talking with news paper correspondents and others.
