Chronic Coughs and

Diseases.
Catarrh Is the Continual Scourge
of Christendom.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city, and nestles trsacherously in
every hamlet. 1t flies with vampire
wings from country to country and
casts a black shadow Of despair over
all lands. Its stealthy approach and
its lingering stay makes it q dread to
the physician and pest to the patient.
It changes the merry laugh of child
hood to the wheezy breathing Of
Group, and the song Of the blushing
maiden to the hollow cough of con-
sumption. In its whitening grasp the
rounded form Of the fond wife and
mother becomes gaunt and spectral,
and the healthy flush of manhood
turns to the saflow, haggard visage Of
the invalid.

FORGET BUSINESS AT NIGHT.
That Is The Only Way to Be Sure Of Doins
Your Best Work.


Every business man OF common
sense knows, whether he chooses to 40
knowledge it or not, that the further
away he gets in the evening from his
commercial associations during the
day, so that his business associates or
thoughts of it or them cannot get at
him. the healthier he is, the wiser life
he leads; in short, the better on he is
in every respect and the ADLER for the
duties of the morrow" writes Edward
Box of THE American Man and the
Country" in the Ladies Home journal.
Now. what does he get in the city in
the evening even If he lives carefully
regulated life? There is no mode Of
life he can possibly follow which is in
any way recuperative to his mental or
physical being. He has never been out
of hearing of the noises of the city or
out Of the range of its lights. Every
night he has slept in the polluted air
of the city. and in the morning has
looked out on the gray sidewalks which
he sees all day long. What does such
a man know of the eXhilarating, re-
freshing and blood-quickening expert
ence of opening the shutters of his
chamber window upon landscape of
space and sunshine? And, what is far
worse, what do his wife and children
know of such blessing? Yet he de-
ludes himself into the belief that he
must live in the city SO as to be in
touch with things If you ask him
what those things are you invariably
discover that they are of a business ma
ture-either strictly business or some
social convention which he feels has a
bearing on his business. But it is al
ways business, business. Now. a man
living under this pressure rarely does
his best work, although he fully be-
lieves that he is doing it. But he can
not be giving out the best, because he
does not allow the best to get within
him."

ords." The ledgers of Hades are kept
most punctiliously, and, as the sacred
text remarks impressively, there is
no deception" By way, however, of
preventing difficulties and wasting the
presidents time, there is simple but
effectual ceremony at the door. When
received by the God of Fate" the soul
is offered cup of tea, which induces
"forgetfulness." DR.. Clark says that
when the missionaries offer tea to
Chinese visitors it is usually declined,
the Chinese believing that "we put
something in the tea which will cause
them to involuntarily join the church"
The Halls of Judgment are very Sc
we're on suicides, unless the suicide has
been committed for some virtuous rea-
son. A debtor sometimes takes his life
to spite an importunate creditor, who
has to defray the funeral expenses and
compensate the family of the deceased.
The Halls of Judgment will decide
whether the suicide was due to oppres-
sion or to a mean spirit of revenge.
Unfilial conduct is about the worst Of
fence with which the soul can be
laden; but the most dutiful son can
not escape if he has defrauded the
government or neglected to pay his
taxes. Fraud on the government
seems to be limited to very small
sum, and therefore the exact moral
position of highly placed mandarin
in Hall of Judgment is not clear.
| Quacks are sternly treated, but the
worst fate of all befalls the scoffers-
people who openly mock the Precious
Records" There is terrible story Of
what befell certain priests who order
ed copies of "The Yu-Li" to be burned.
Liars have very disagreeable portion
in this world as we'll as others. There
is a certain temple where an idol de-
votes itself to the function of striking
liars dead. Dr. Clark asked a young
priest whether he had ever seen any
liars struck dead. "Yes, two," said
the priest. "My young friend, take
care that you are not the third" said
DR.. Clark. To escape the various hells
which are like the circles of Dante's
Inferno" without the poetry it seems
to be a good plan to turn vegetarian
"It is believed that animals, birds
fishes and insects are possessed by
some ones spirit; if their death is pre-
vented the spirit obtains some mitiga
ton of the pains of hell; therefore
much merit is obtained by setting a
liberty living creatures" The greatest
merit of all is not to eat flesh diet

some cavernous dream-world or among
the tottering grandeur Of an ancient

In the morning, when all thaw has
been stopped by the nights cold, there
is deathly silence over the glacial fields,
even the mountain cataracts fall
noiselessly from the precipice to ledge
in tenuous, wind-blown threads. But
with the rising of the sun the whole
glacial world bursts to life in noisy
tumult. Surface rivules brawl over
the ice with a glee that is vocal and al
most human. The gurgle of -ivers

becomes Il roar, as of rushing, angry
sea. Ice grip no longer holds back

more a few generations ago than it
does to-day. Young men paid heavy

would compare favorably in general in

modern universities. OF these broadly
