K. l.. Stevenson, writing in 1898 to
George Meredith, in an epistle quoted
in new edition of his Letters says,
with heart touching pathos:
''For IA years l have not had days

gone to bed weary, and have done my
work unfinchingly. | have written in
bed and written out of it, written in
hemorrhages, written in sickness. writ

and the powers have so willed that my
battlefield should be this dingy. inglori-

petings and the open air over my

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under The Sun, ;,

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 mucuous
membranes causing them to crack open
and bleed. The powerful acids used in
the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers
have aimed to cure, while pastes and
oiutments cannot reach the disease.
An old and experienced practitioner
who has for many years made close
study and speciality of the treatment of
Catarrh, has at last perfected a treat
ment which, when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently
cures Catarrh, by removing the cause
stopping the discharges, and curing all
Inflammation. 1t is the only remedy
known to science that actually reaches
the afflicted parts. This wonderful
remedy is known as "Snuffies the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure, " and is sold
at the extremely low price of one dol
lar, each package containing internal
and external medicine sufficient for a
full months treatment and everything
necessary 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 permanently and is also
wonderfully quick to relieve hay fever
or cold in the head.
Catarrh, when neglected, often leads
to consumptiOn-"Snuf will save
you if you use it at once. 1t is an ordi-
nary remedy, but a complete treat
ment which Is positively guaranteed to
cure Catarrh IN any form OR stage if
used according to the directions which
accompany each package. Don It delay
but send at once, and write full particu-
lars as to your condition, and you will
receive special advice from the dis
coverer of this wonderful remedy re-
garding your case without cost to you

Not Clipped.

A naturalist says that the squirrel
tribe is increasing all over the wooded
districts of England and in the Scottish
lowlands. In some parts Of Scotland,
notably In the north, the little creature
Is unknown.
1t is not so long ago that Scotch
judge was trying a case which had to
do with the escape of a squirrel from
Its cage and the question as to whether
1t had been stolen.
Were its wings clipped?" he asked a
witness.
But my lord" interposed the coun-
sci, ut is quadruped."
"Quadruped or no quadruped," said
his honor sternly, eff its wings had
been clipped it could never have es-
caped,"

NO IDLE LAND THERE.
Chinese Landlords Must Cultivate or
Forfeit Their Titles.

As among the Oldest living nations
China has the right to claim paternity
for few important modern ideas at
least, and, strangely enough, an ap-
proach to some of the theories of Henry
George on the land question is among
them. There no land is permitted to
be idle or unproductive. If landlord
allows his ground to go out of cultiva-
ton or attempts to hold it for rise in
price, he is told to do otherwise.
Should he fail to comply it is taken
from him and managed and owned by
the state. Moreover, the soil is
equitably divided among the people.
Each family is said to have its patrimo-
NAL field that has been its inheritance
for ages. The largest farms. as a rule,
are not more than thirty acres, and
throughout the whole empire there are
few land holders who own more than
fifty acres. Most of the farms, or lots.
are from three to nine acres in extent.
These family farms can never be sold
out of the line Of succession so long as
one of the blood wants to buy them.
All land is taxed at a rate varying ac-
cording to its fertility from about Is to
40 cents per acre, and the rate has not
been changed in many centuries.

The Life Line In Ones Hand.

There are three prominent lines in
the palm-the line of life, that of the
head and the heart line.
The line Of life begins on the inner
boundary of the palm, about midway
between the thumb and the forefinger.
If we imagine the left hand to be q
map, with the fingers pointing north,
this line runs toward the southeast,
then curves toward the south and in
some hands curves finally toward the
southwest. 1t thus skirts the base or
''uprise" Of the thumb. known as the
uprise of Venus. If it is deep. broad,
of good color and extends nearly or
quite to the wrist and If the rest of the
hand indicates vitality and cheerful
ness, the subject may be expected to live
to green cid age; he has good dispo-
sition and the qualities which good
health and good temper usually create.

Cleaning the Clock

A farmer has an ambitious son, -
years old, who, being left alone for Il
few hours the other day, tried to clean
the clock. He easily got the clock to
pieces, but his difficulty lay in putting
them together again after cleaning.
At this task he was only partly sue
cessful, and upon his fathers return
home he eagerly exclaimed:
Father, I've cleaned the clock and
got enough works left over to make an
other one!'-EXchange.

The first of these contains some curious side lights on the intimate life of the Chinese, while the latter ar ticle is in Harvey Sutherland's best vein--a combination If common sense and uncommon humor. "Iron and Steel" by William J. Hampton. is q dramatic picture of these enormous twin, industries, with copious illustra- tion.
