CURE FOR CATARRH.
A Remedy Which an Old virginia.
Says Is InfallibIe.

A Remedy Which an Old Virginian
Says Is InfRllibIe.
An old Virginia horse breeder who Is
visiting In New York claims to have an
infallible cure for catarrh. 1T seems to
me-" he said "that 90 per cent of the
people Of New York city suffer more
or less from catarrh. If they will do
as 1 suggest, they can cure themselves
In short order.
"A friend Of mine who used to live
in Yonkers had such a severe case of
catarrh that he was compelled to give
up his business and go to Colorado.
The doctors told him that the high alti-
tude of that state would benefit him.
He remained in Colorado nearly year
and then found himself as badly off as
when he left Yonkers. After he had
made up his mind that nothing could
cure him and that he might as well
die at home as among strangers he met
an old tinker, who gave him the RENE
dy, which cured him in three months.
Dissolve little powdered alum in
pint of cider vinegar. Use the solution
as a gargle three or four times day.
1t won't do any harm If you swallow
some of it. Two or three times day,
but particularly just before going to
bed, dip chicken feather in vaseline
and stick the feather up the nostrils.
l suppose any contrivance bought at a
drug store for. the purpose will do just
as we'll as chicken feather, but the
old tinker insisted that there was some
medicinal virtue In the feather.
"The gargle clears the throat and the
lower portions of the air passages from
the nostrils. The vaseline heals the dis
eased condition of the affected parts.
In week the sufferer will feel better,
and if he will keep up the treatment he
can be assured that he will be cured"

winning a Brute's Respect.

In an article on the training of wild
animals in Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly Frank @. Bostock, the famous
Snowman, said: "If l were to lay down
basic principle, 1 would say, just as
my father did to me the first time he
ever gave me a whip and lion, First
of all, warm up to him. That does not
mean to pet him or talk silly nonsense
of the affeationate sort, but to treat
him with frank, common sense and
kindly hand and care
"Once a very fierce old tiger which
we had in London had nearly killed my
brother, and her keepers were afraid
of her. 1t happened that she ran a bit
of bone into her paw and had a very
sorry time of it. | undertook to re-
move it and by the use of lashings and
little patience succeeded. 1t took
four men to help me. When we were
about half way through the operation,
she got the idea of what we were try
ing to do for her, and a more docile
patient surgeon never had, though the
pain was great, 1 am sure. The next
day put i Doultice on that foot with
one keeper standing outside the cage
with a prodding iron as a precaution,
and ever after that till the day of her
death l could enter her cage at any
time without her giving any sign but
that of pleasure"

He Knew His Eriend.

An old German was on his deathbed.
In his earlier years he had led a wild
life, but since the death of Schneider,
one of his boon companions, he had re-
formed and given up his bad habits.
This Schneider in his day had been a
mighty drinker, famous for his capaci-
ity and carouses.
The priest was ministering to the dy-
ing man, consoling him with visions
of the paradise he would soon enter,
telling him that he would meet there
his old friends and what a joy it would
be to see III n ~ again.
The dying man asked feebly, "Will
Schneider be there, your reverencew
Thinking to give him pleasure, the
priest replied, "Yes; Schneider will be
there
"Achw said the other. Dot is very
bad. All dose dringings und eadings
und fighdings all over again, all dot
beer und whiskyp
'But there will be no drinking in
heaven" said the priest.
"But you said Schneider would be
dere."
$50 he WILL" was the priests reply.
"Und dere won't be no dringings,
you dink? Ach! You don't know
hnetder?'-Llppincott

He wouldn't Interfere.

An old Scotchman went to stay for
a short time, as he said. with friends
of his, young couple with no family.
After living with them for some two
or three weeks the young couple began
to get tired of their visitor. but did
not like to tell him the state of their
feelings toward him, so they arranged
little plan between them as to how
they would get rid of him.
Tomorrow" said the husband
when l come home for dinner, shall
quarrel about the soup and say it is
not good. In the midst of our quarrel
we will appeal to our friend, and if he
takes your part will give him notice
to leave the house, and if he takes my
part you do just the same"
Next day at dinner the quarrel"
arose about the soup, and in the heat
of the argument "uncle" was appealed
to, but he coolly replied:
Eye see, ma freens, for a. the time
intend tae be here-just a month or
twa-I hae made up ma mind no tae
interfere WI yer hoose affairs"

Long courtships In Norway.

Norwegian weddings are almost al
ways celebrated at the close of short
Scandinavian summer, season which
the Industrious Norsemen find too short
in which to work and from which they
would never dream of taking the days
that are necessary for the long drawn
out festivities of the Morse wedding.
So the maidens who are wooed all the
year round are usually welded at the
beginning of winter. Norwegian WOO
ings are very frank and very long ado
ing. On summer Sundays the lanes,
the highways and byways are ateem
with lovers. Each couple saunters
slowly along, not In the least shy, his
arm about her shoulders, her arm about
his waist. Nor do they untwine their
arms if they pause little to chat with
friends, not even If they stop to speak
with casual acquaintance. Ten or q
dozen years often elapse between the
first day of courtship and the day Of
marriage, while seven years betroth-
al is considered Of very moderate
length.-Woman's Home Companion.

A Story of Wendell Phillips.

AT the close of the civil war and be-
fore he was well known Wendell Phil
lips, the distinguished abolitionist,
went to Charleston and put up at a ho-
tel. He had breakfast served in his
room and was waited upon by slave.
Mr.. Phillips seized the opportunity to
represent to the negro in a pathetic
way that he regarded him as a man
and a brother and, more than that,
that he himself was an abolitionist.
The negro, however, seemed more anx-
ious about his breakfast than he was
about his position in the social scale
or the condition of his soul, and finally
Mr.. Phillips became discouraged and
told him to go away, saying that he
could not bear to be waited on by a
slave.
You must 'scuse me, massa," said
the negro. 81 is 'bliged to stay here
cause I'm 'sponsible for de silver
ware"

Slang In 1892,

In 1882 Coleridge in his Table Talk
spoke Of the word talented as follows:
II regret to see that vile and barba-
rous yocable talented stealing out Of
the newspapers into the leading re-
views and most respectable publica-
tions of today. Why not 'shillinged,'
'farthinged,' 'tenpenced,' etc.? The
formation of participle passive from
a noun is license which nothing but
a very peculiar felicity can excuse. If
mere convenience is to Justify such at
tempts upon the idiom, you cannot
stop until the language becomes, in the
proper sense Of the word, corrupt.
Most of these pieces of slang come
from America"

si.kil1er,s Arm a Deadly weapon

Another man has been killed by a
blow of the fist, which suggests the
thought that at-times the naked fist Of
a man, given proper impetus by well
developed biceps, Is an exceedingly
dangerous and destructive instrument"
said a man who for many years lived
at Vinita, in the Cherokee Nation.
'Tt recalls bit of history local to the
Indian Territory" he continued. mot
far from the Arkansas line there lived
a half breed who went by the name Of
John Sixkiller. He was a bad man,
but not bad in the ordinary southwest
ern way-that is to say, he was not a
gun fighter although he enjoyed a
general mixup immensely, and until
the Cherokee council intervened he in
dulged In many such ARRAYS.
after three men whom he had laid
out had died Of their injuries the coun-
ell (tribal legislature) met and passed
an act declaring that John Sixkiller's
right arm is deadly weapon and that
he is forbidden to use it against an ad-
versary except to protect himself from
death or great bodily injury"

WINE AND WATER.
A Simple Little Trick at Once Ef-
fective and Mysterious.


Here is a trick that is always effec-
tive, and, while it is very simple in
deed, still it Is bound to appear just a
wee bit mysterious, and many, espe-
cially your little brothers and sisters,
will be unable to explain it.
Take two ordinary claret glasses and
fill one to the brim with claret and the
other equally full with clear water.
Cover the top of the glass containing
water with an ordinary visiting card
so that there are no places around the
edge uncovered by the card. Turn the
glass upside down and place 1t on the
top of the glass containing claret and
adjust the glasses so that their edges
meet exactly all the way around.
Now move the card slightly to one
side so that there will be little space
at one side Of the glasses inside uncov-
cred by card. At once thin stream
of claret will begin to rise through this
space, not mixing with the water at
all, but its edges clear and sharply de-
fined. The water, too, will begin to de-
scend into the glass containing the
claret, a pure, glistening white stream
against the ruddy red.
The stream of claret, too, rising
through the sparkling white of the wa
ter presents beautiful effect, and in a
moment the claret will begin to spread
about the top of the upper glass like
the unfolding of red rose and the wa
ter will spread in the bottom of the
lower glass. The two fluids will not
mix, but will present delightful con-
trast of red and white with sharply de-
fined edges.
In very short time the claret and
water will have changed places, the
claret being in the upper glass and the
water In the lower. This is due to the
difference In weight of the liquids; wa
ter, being the heavier, forces itself into
the lower glass, and a portion of the
claret is moved up to take the place of
the descending water.-New York Her

Got His Money.

When King Edward VII. was an un-
dergraduate at Oxford. he was a great
huntsman, and few men could beat him
across country. On one occasion his
royal highness and some other riders
galloped into a farmyard by way of a
short cut The farmer. a sturdy yeo-
man, closed the gates and told the
huntsmen they must pay fl apiece for
trespass.
One of the gentlemen smiled indul-
gently at the rustic and said. But, my

Fable of the Babblinr Brook

Once upon time fish in search of
adventure came to the broad mouth of
a brook which emptied itself into
great river. He turned into the smaller
stream, ascended it's current and lis
tened to its constant babbling as he
went leisurely along.
AS he proceeded he noticed that the
brook became very much narrower and
shallower. Yet it kept up its babbling
just the same. Finally he reached it's
head and found it to be very insig-
nificant.
Brook" said the fish, "never in my
life before have 1 seen such a large
mouth and heard SO much babbling
with so little head behind it."
Moral.-The head cannot be judged
by the mouth.-New York Herald.

past summer. Florists in New York
and Philadelphia are advising II for
use this winter. Flowers on the cloth
are entirely dispensed with, aud bas-
kets filled with profusion Of flowers
are suspended by ribbons from the cell
ing. They hang at about the distance
of foot above the table. Vines and
ferns droop from the basket, the vines
being sometimes long enough to trail
In dainty wreath or scroll arrange
ment on the cloth. Sometimes deli
cate silver chains are substituted for
the ribbons. or colored silk cords are
used. Any woman who can fll bas-
