A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under
The SUM-"

All doctors have tried to cure catarrh by
the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their powders
dry up the mucous membranes causing
them 10 crack open and bleed. The pow
erfi!l acids used in the inhalers have en-
tirelv eaten away the same membranes
that their makers have aimed to cure,
while pastes and ointments cannot reach
the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many years made
close study and speciality of the treat
ment of catarrh, has at last perfected a
treatment which, when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once, but perma-
nentlY cures catarrn by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges, and cur
ing all inflammation. 1t is the only rem
edV known To science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This wonder
FIJI remedy is known as "Snutfies, the
guaranteed catarrh cure" and IL sold at
the extremely low price of one dollar,
each package containing internal and eX-
ttrnal medicine sufficient for a full
mRth's treatment, and everything nee
essary to its perfect use.
''Snuffies" is the only perfect catarrh
cure ever made, and is now recognized as
the only safe and positive cure for that
annoying and disgusting disease. 1t cures
all inflammation quickly and perma-
nently, and is also wonderfully quick to
relieve hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads to
nmption-"Snuffles" will save YOU if
you use it at once Ii is no ordinary
remedy, but complete treatment which
is positively guaranteed To cure catarrh in
any form or stage if used according TO di-
rectiOns which accompany each package.
Don't delay, bnt send for it at once, and
write full particulars as TO yOur cOndi-
tion, and you will receive special advice
from the discoverer of this wonderful
remedy regarding your case without cost

DISTINCTION OF SEA LIONS IN CALIFORNIA.
Every visitor 10 the Clf House In San
Francisco and to other sea lion rookeries
along the California coast will remember his
interest in the life and sports Of there inter-
ssting creatures The fishermen Of Califor-
MIA came TO the conclusion that a. the sea
lions lived in the sea. their food must be fish.
and II the seals eat ish. there would he fewer
fish to catch. and consequently fewer dollars
In the flshermens pockets, Accordingly. the
fishermen persuaded the California State
Board Of Fish Commissioners to issue orders
for the killing Of large number Of the sea
lions The President of the board declares
that II is not the intention to extermnate the
seals utterly. but merely to kill OF some
ten thousand of the thirty thousand that
now infest our harbor entrance and con-
tiguous territory In all likelihood there are
not ten thousand sea- lions on the whole
coast Under the orders OF the board many
lions have already been killed. by great gOou
fortune a well-known naturalist Professor
Dyche, spent the summer on the Caiforhla
coast and took the opportunity to examine
the contents Of the stomachs Of some twenty
five sea lions that had been slaughtered.
In every case the stomachs were filed with
the flesh of the squid the octopus. the CUTIE
and no fish were there. found The sea
lion il therefore q friend, not an enemy, Of
Commissioners. who took no steps to obtain
scientific advice. Is astonishing and repre-
hensible If they had Instructed their own
fisherman 10 examine the Stomach- OF the
dead seals IL would have been obvious at once
that they were making a grave mistake 1t
is significant that In former year, when sea
lions were much more plentiful salmon were
also much more abundant The diminution
of the latter Is due not To the seals. but to the
extravagant slaughter and wastelul GUS
toms OF the fshermen themselves. There Is
a lesson here worth learning
SUNLIGHT AT DIFFERENT LOCALITIES.
Instruments are set up Mt various meteor
illogical observntorles that automatically
register the periods during which the sun
IL unobscIred by clouds during the day
light hours. and tables are printed giving
the actual number OF hours Of sunlight dur
ing each year By comparing the actual
number OF sunlight hours with the number
OF hours during which the sun is above he
horizon at each place a percentage number
is obtained. as In the following small table.
In New YORK city, for instance, O. per
cent. Of the daylight hours, on the aver
age, are sunny
