Il have been preaching this doctrine
Tor the last forty years, but there are
vast multitude OF women who have
never heard it yet. Catarrh may at
tack any organ of the body. Women
are especially liable to catarrh of the
pelvic organs. There are one hundred
cases of catarrh Of the pelvic organs to
one OF catarrh OF the head. Most peo-
pie think, because they have not ca
tarrh of the head. they have not ca
tarrh at all. This is a great mistake,
and is the cause of many cases Of sick
ness and death"
II you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of

and he will be pleased to give you
his valuable advice gratis.

China has in all about zoo missionaries. The first Baptist missionary in China was Rev J. l.. Shuck who went out in 1885. Tn 1S45 there were only six Chinese Christians in the empire. Today there are about 100 600 communicants, and 1t is sai dthat there are at least 300000 more who ar econ vinced of the claims of the gospel but have not yet embraced 1t The number of communicants has almost doubled in the past five years. During the past thir- ty years the number of converts has doubled every six years. The same rate of increase would give China 6O,0OO OOO Christians in the nex thalf century.

Mrs. Stevens Success.

It Is not often that a woman combines as many charming qualities or is accom- plished in so many different ways as Is Mrs. B. G. Stevens of Birmingham who has made such a success of her work which she began about ten years ago.
 She is now the recognized authority upon artistic table decoration and the preparing and serving of delicious men ues, and has more orders than she can possibly fill
 She was always an artistic woman, and her friends long ago recognized in her the very valuable qualities that we appreciate in our friends when we are in need of suggestions for a luncheon, a dinner, or dance. She was always ready with suggestions and an artist to her finger tips She could be depended upon to give just the proper touch to the floral centerpiece or add something here and there to complete the beautiful de- tails in table decoration This was all before she had given the subject any study. It was just genius undeveloped 90 to speak, and showed that she pos sessed to an unusual degree the artictic temperament That she could make the most delicious salads in the world and that her chafing dish suppers wore the best in town was admitted by all her friends. and her reputation among an ex- elusive and fashionable little corterie was established long before she decided to make a business venture.
 This came about very naturally and with a pratical and progressive spirit Mrs. Stevens took her place among the many bright women who entered the business world.
 This was nearly three years ago.
 Since she first announced that she would take orders for both small and large par lies, the demands made upon her have been enough to set the average woman crazy. She frequently assumes the entire responsibility of an entertainment. She prepares them emu, looks after the table decoration and directs the serving of the luncheon, dinner or whatever the meal may be. It is not only one entertainment a day that she superintends, but during the season she frequently manages a luncheon, an afternoon reception and a dinner or a cotillion all in single day "a make proper estimate or how much is

necessary for a certain number of guests is in itself task and requires experience to provide either an abundance or to pro- vide against waste. Where hundreds of guests are to be entertained within a brief time as is the occasion of a large recep- ton, no woman, but one of great .execu- tive ability could manage the details of the elaborate supper. But Mrs. Stevens never has been known to lose her head She reassures the hostess upon all vexa- tious matters and the latter's brow is as unruffied as that of the most frivolous guest.
 Now that Mrs. Stevens venture has been so successful, she deyotes her entire time to the study of table and house decoration and the latest and most fashionable methods of serving menus. She spent last summer in Paris and the entertainments she directed here the past season could not have beef characterized with more distinctive beauty and elegance.
 She is most accomplished chef and prepares the most delicious menus upon all occasions.
 Mrs Stevens, besides being such an au- thority upon culinary subjects and artis- tic decoration is clever newspaper writer artist and musician. She was a very veal thy Boston girl and had every advantage that young women of culture and wealth enjoy. She has always been a great fa- vorite here socially.

bacco. But did stand for many minutes

of the room, into which had been thrown
promiscuously all broken packages OF to-
bacco and cigars. Above the box was a
card which bore the inscription. Boys

the proprietor was walking back and
forth, smiling and rubbing his hands and
saying, "Help yourselves. boys, help your;
selves; put some in your pockets" And
fifteen or twenty boys all well dressed
and just out Of neighboring school, were
following his suggestion. Some were try.

Anti-Treating.

The action of the Catholic Total Alb
stinence Union at their national gathering
in Hartford in condemning the silly and
dangerous practice of treating" cannot
be too highly commended. As the reso-
luton justly says, seven-eighths OF the
drunkenness Of the day is caused by an OBJ
servance of this vicious custom.
While movements against treating have
been started before yet they have never
amounted to anything. Now that DOW
erful organization, backed by great body
of Christians, has seriously taken cogniz.
ance of the evil it is to be hoped that all
members of the Catholic Church will act
upon the suggestion. Really, treating is
lily and superhuous. The custom of each
man paying for his own drink prevails
throughout Europe and the rest of the
world, and it is only in America that, in
order to show good fellowship" a man
must pay for liquor he neither wants HIM
self nor do his associates.
The resolution urging cooperation With
non-Catho1ic bodies in fighting for the
cause of Temperance is very timely, and
all those who desire to further the good
work will do we'll to avail themselves Of
the opportunity of united effort. Too
much time has been wasted in the past in
following out lines of sectarianism. TEN
perance is universal ideal and knows no
religious boundary lines. 1t is taught by
the seven great RELIGIONS of the world.
only one of which is Christian.
We congratulate the Abstinence Union
on its sound sense. and trust that the next
convention shall show that the ideas pro-
mulgated in Hartford have been productive
of good works.-Bridgeport Post.
