In Nothing is farthersfromthe truth. II
may be that the nose and throat is the oft

SO only because these parts are more ex'

the other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity Of
the human body is liable to catarrh. Amul

Picking, Feb. 14.-At least three of
the Chinese to whom Emperor Kwang
Su sent a choice of suicide in pur-
suance of the demand of the powers
for their punishment with death
have declined to comply and the
emperor has withdrawn his request
that they should destroy themselves.
His majesty now telegraphs Prince
Ching that when he agreed to the
terms of the joint note the latter
only required that the punishment
should fit the crime, and he argues
that if the worst of the guilty deserve
death, the others should be pun
ished in other ways. The for
eign ENJOYS, on the contrary.
say that even those who are least
guilty deserve death, and, as there
is no worse punishment, all must
suffer that penalty, although if China
should ask to make distinctions re-
garding the crimes she can sentence
the worst to quartering Or to some
other form of Chinese execution. I'm
less the court changes its views no
immediate settlement is possible.

franchises were taxable. The circuit
court confirmed the assessors action
and the case was then carried to the
