sumption. OF the total catch some 10a0 600
barrels have been cured for export: so it
may be roughly assumed that one-third has
been kept for home consumption. the ether
two-thirds going to the continent ard
America. This reduces the Londoners'
allowance to a breakfast of sixty, or say. a
good round seven for each resident of the
united kingdom.
OF the quantity that goes abroad, each
man, woman and child on the continent
could have one as a faster, and then come
for second helping. Presuming they were

Catarrh Is essentially a disease Of the mucous

ment which removes the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance Of the Inflammation
from the surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these requirements
and which so far has been remarkably success
full In curing catarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and mucous
membranes only. They hardly be called a
secret patent medicine, as they are composed Of
such vFluable remedies Sanguinaria, Hydras-
tin Eucalyptol and similar cleansing antiseptics
which cure by eliminating from the blood and
mucous surfaces the catarrhal poison.

a few Of them dissolved in the mouth daily will
be sufficient. However, when there is much stop

lets will give immediate relief, but the regular

A MAMMOTH BALLOT.
That to Be Voted in Philadelphia Will
Contain Nine: Columns.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Though not many candidates are to be
voted for at the coming election, the official
ballot will be most cumbersome. 1t Will
contain no fewer than nine columns with
party headings-republican, democratic,
prohibition, municipal league, socialistic,
peoples party socialist labor, union and
public opinion. The municipal league and
union tickets are identical. What Is called
the public opinion ticket is identical with
the republican, with the exception Of the
candidates for judge and for the board Of
revision, the names of the Donnelly-Ryan
candidates only being added for these
offices. This is evidently a column for
trading purposes. The peoples and social
list labor parties have candidates for state
offices only. What is officially entitled the
democratic" ticket is that nominated by
the Donneily-Ryan republican faction, the
actual democratic tiehkth Retng headed

Early Asphalt Roads.
From the American Asphalt Journal,

History and tradition have furnished us
with the basic information which has guild
ed us in building the civilization Of today.
1t is said that In prehistoric times the Incas
Of Peru built roads that extended from the
tropically heated valleys up the mountains
to the regions of perpetual frost, using the
natural asphalt rock. and these roads are in
good condition today. The discovery of a
large section in Kentucky covered with as
phalt rock. which scientists have pronounc-
ed a perfect and natural combination OF as

paving purposes, and far superior to any
artificial combination that could be made

Harvey. in talking to one Of his part

and Coin doesn't look right without it.
There ought to be comma once in so
often, then so often colon, and all
the rest. Don't you think SOP he wound
up appealingly.
"I do, indeed heartily replied the
partner. who was not wholly devoid of
humor. That's great idea Of yours,

was like a courtroom in Ireland. The
bench was five feet from the floor,
with chair whose back reached to the
ceiling. The trimmings of the room
were all green. Mr.. Lockwood and
Judge Beckwith were trying out a
case before the squire. There was no
jury. At the close the squire paused.
"Do you wish to sum up?" he asked.

Mr.. Lockwood. who advises young law
yers with ticklish cause and friendly
face on the bench to do likewise.
"I'll sum up" said Judge Beckwith.
every WELL" replied Squire Murray.
"While you're at 1t I'll slip down In
Murray Bros and have a drink with
Lockwood. But I'll be back before you
finish"
The squire and Mr.. Lockwood went
out. The squire was in search of the
spirit of the law at the root Of the law.
Mr.. Lockwood thinks they had drink.
On the stairs. half way back to the
courtroom. with the echo Of Beckwith's
voice sounding In their ears, the squire
stopped.

your case"
Then they went in and heard Beck
