Officials of the state department at
Washington, although asserting that
the Balch brothers have no recognized
status with this government, admit
that they are and have been from the
first fully aware of their mission and
hope they will succeed, says the New
York Herald. One official said:
"The Balch brothers are simply in.
vestigating the matter as one would
investiVte any scientific subject, to
gain more knowledge. One is geog-
rapher and the other an artist, but
both have entered upon this labor con
amore. We wish them every success,
and, of course, should they make any
valuable discovery the United States
would probably profit by 1t, but really
they have no official status"

the state department before starting

FACT AND RUMOR.
The story of One Postponed Cabinet
Council In England.

Cabinet councils give rise at times
TO minors that dodge fact and mislead
public expectancy. One Of Lord Beac-
onsfield'S supplies a case in point.
Queen Victoria, so runs the tale, was
anxious about the state of wind and
wave in the miu-A1laNtic, which the
Princess Louise happened then to be
crossing. \ lord in waiting knew
professor who was a weather diviner,
ii to him he went with message
from her ms jesty who sent also mes
sage to Lord Hcaco:, atield. The lord
In waiting was sent to a theatrical
supper it was Sunday night-ln search
of the professor Him he found In
this lively company and was himself
coastr;,iuel to listen to the game of
words that was passing round. Which
would they choose if they had to mar
ry. Gladstone or Disraeli: All said
"Disraeli' except one, and she said
"Gladstonc. SO that might elope with
Disraeli and break his heart"
The lord in waiting, much diverted,
went forth and. finding pisraeli in
rather low spirits, told him this tale
as an Instance of his great popularity
with all classes of til" queens sub
jects. Tie whimsicali,y of the thing
was congrn:Al to pis9&cli, who was
kept waiting next day at cabinet
council for the arrival Of an important
colleague. To pass the time he told be
assembled ministers the story Of the
theatrical supper Lord Cairns (ahst
omen, hearing, did not smile. and his
solemnty put out of countenance the
prime minister, who at once made the
nonarrival Of the colleague an cNc;.sr
for postpo!i!.@ the council for Il couple
of hours. The 'halance of power"
was then unstable. and that afternoon
the papers lH1I headings: "War Inmi-

Thousands of people have catarrh who
would be surprised 10 know it, because
IL has been called some other name than
oatarrh. The fact is, catarrh is cstarrh
wherever located and another fact
which is of equally great importance, is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.
Catarrh is an American disease. Fully
one-half Of the people are afflicted more
or less with it in some form. Previous
to the discovery of Peruna, catarrh was

OHers exceptional opportunities to
young men wishing to prepare for the
Christian ministry. The chief aim Of
the instruction is to afford young men
and women a comprehensive knowl-
edge of the English Bible and to i'm
plant in their hearts an ambition to
dedicate their lives to the elevation
and Outstanding of their race.
Students are required to do mission
ary work in the various churches and
Sunday Schools near the institution
and to report on same each week.
The teaching in the Bible school is
wholly undenominatiOnal, the inten-
tiOn being not to oppose or antagoniZe
any theological work now being done,
but rather to assist IL denominations.

The teaching is free. The cost of

an opportunity to work out from Two
