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 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.
"Snuffles' 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 aud is also
wonderfully quick to relieve hay fever
or cold in the head.
Catarrh, when neglected, often leads
to consumption-'Sn uffles" 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 'tdelay
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
beyond the regular price of ''Snuf1ies"
the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure"

Failure.

FAILURE" says Keats, "is, in a sense,
the highway to success, inasmuch as
every discovery of what is false leads
US to seek earnestly after what is true,
and every fresh experience points out
some form Of error which we shall
afterward carefully avoid"
Defeats and failures have played a
great part in the history of success.
1t Is not pleasant to think that more
or less of defeat is absolutely neces-
sary to great success. But that it is
true every student Of history knows.
Defeats and failures are great devel-
opers Of character. They are the gym
nasia which have strengthened the
muscles Of manhood, the stamina, the
backbone which have won victories.
They have made the giants Of the race
by giving titanic muscles, brawny
sinews, far reaching intellects.
How true it Is that poverty often
hides her charms under ugly masksl
thousands have been forced into great
ness by their very struggle to keep
the wolf from the door. She is often
the only agent nature can employ to
call a man out Of himself and push
him on toward the goal which she had
fitted him to reach. Nature cares little
for his ease and pleasure. 1t is the
man she is after, and she will pay any
price or resort to any expedient to
lure him on. She masks her own ends
In mans wants and urges him onward,
oftentimes through difficulties and OBJ
stacles which are well nigh disheart-
ening, but ever onward and upward
toward the goal.-Register

Wearing Out the Brain.

A French scientist has determined
that the military and naval professions
most quickly wear out the brain. Out
Of 100000 naval and military men 100
are confirmed lunatics. Next come the
liberal professions, artists heading the
list, followed closely by lawyers and,
more distantly, by doctors, clergy, lit
erary men and civil servants. The
number Of those who go mad is 1T to
each 100000. Domestic servants and
Say laborers run the professional men
very close, sending 155 out of each
100000 to the asylum. These are fol
lowed at long distance by mechanics,
only 66 Of whom go mad in each 1O0,-
600. And the group which is most ia
vorable to sanity is, contrary to gener-
al belief, that of commercial men,
which sends only AZ out of 100000 to
the asylum.

The Gallant Cabman.

Nothing perhaps produces quite so
much wit from cabman as a sense of
being underpaid, which in most cases
means that he has been justly paid A
lady who had been guilty of this kind
of justice experienced the usual sense
of discomfort when her driver straight
ened the palm into which she had just
dropped her shilling and looked at her
speechlessly. She was weakly about to
add another sixpence when the cabby's
sense Of humor prevailed. He trans
ferred the shilling to his pocket and
smiled sweetly down at his embarrass-
ed fare. Course, Missy" he remark
ed, there was the pleasure O. drivin
your'-London Chronicle.

Roll n Pumpkin,

The Rev. John Haynes was famous
for his pithy sayings. At one time,
says one Of our exchanges, he over
heard his daughter and some young
friends criticising certain neighbors
more severely than was pleasing to
him, whereupon he proceeded to read
them lecture on the sinfulness of
scandal
"But, father" demonstrated his
daughter, 1--WE must say something"
''If you can do nothing BETTER" re-
torted Mr.. Haynes dryly, get a pump
kin and roll it about. That viii be at
least an innocent diversion"
Not long afterward a conference of
ministers met at his house. During
the evening an earnest discussion on
certain points Of doctrine arose, and,
from the lofty pitch Of some Of the
voices, it seemed as if part Of the dis
putants at least were in danger of los
ing their temper.
At that Juncture Mr.. Haynes daugh-
ter quietly entered the room, bearing a
huge pumpkin. She put It down In
front Of her father and said: 'There,
father, roll 1t about. Roll it about"
Mr.. Haynes was called upon for an
explanation, and good humor was re-
stored.

his general appearance indicated that

there was something in his manner

the conclusion that all had not been

Australia the Poor Mans Paradise,

The cheapness of living in Australia
is proverbial. 1t is a veritable poor
mans paradise. In the butchers shops
you see twopenny and fourpenny tick
cts on the meat, and provisions of 10
cal production are equally inexpensive.
In the eating houses or coffee shops-a
great feature of town life there-you
can get square meal, consisting of a
steak or chop, bread and butter and
tea, for sixpence. There are no tips
for walters in the antipodes. The CO.
lonials are enormous tea drinkers and
on an average partake of the cheering
herb seven times a day. Boarding
houses-another prominent feature
are rendered almost essential in a land
where the domestic servants command
wage of FL a week, with every even

and keep a bicycle.-Newcastle eng
