Catarrh usually starts with cold Tn the head, and if left unchecked in this climate, rarely gets well of itself.
 As fresh cold is taken the disease spreads, getting deeper and deeper. creep ing along the mdcous membranes from nose to throat from throat to windpipe, to bronchial tubes and from bronchial tubes to lung cells.
 The mucous membranes all connect, one with another. Hence it is easy to spread from one part to another lined with this same membrane. This Is why catarrh in the head soon affects the throat and finally the stomach itself, bringing on chronic catarrh of the stomach. which is a most obstinate form of dyspepsia
 Everybody Is now well agreed that ca- tarrh is a blood disease and not a local one and the attempt to cure by local ap- plieations simply gives temporary relief from the purely local symptoms without the remotest effect in staying the prog ress of the disease.
 There Is a new preparation recently of- fered to the public that is apparently des- tined to do away with every other form of catarrh treatment
 This new remedy is not a secret patent medicine, but is a large, pleasant tasting tablet composed of Bloodroot, Red gum from the Eucalyptus tree, and other val uable and harmless specifies, which are taken internally and seems to have a remarkably beneficial effect upon the blood and mucous membranes, apparently eliminating the catarrhal poison from the whole system.
 These tablets while being pleasant, con- venient and absolutely safe to use have made cures in long standing cases of ca tarrh that are little short of marvellous. They are sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Catarrh Tabalets. and any catarrh sufferer who has tried inhalers, lotions, ointments, salves, etc, and re- alize their inconvenience and uselessness will fully appreciate the difference be- tween a mere palliative and permanent cure after giving Stuart's Catarrh Tab let's an impartial trial.
 All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized package and no matter where the catsrrh is located, in the head, throat, lungs or stomach, Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets will surprise you with the effective result of even a few days use.

 As a warning to the novices whose eyes are to be opened. the following verses, composed by little boy, whose papa is now a Shriner, accompany the notice sent out to the faithful: "The house is full of arnica
 And mystery profound: We do not dare to run about.
 Or to make the slightest sound: We leave the big piano shut
 And do not strike note; The doctors been here seven times
 Since father rode the goat. "He joined the Shrine a week ago.
 Got in at 4 a. m. And sixteen brethren brought him home,
 Though he says that he brought them. His wrist was sprained and one big rip
 Had rent his Sunday coat There must have been a lively time

Some time ago my daughter caught a severe cold. She complained of pains in her chest and had a bad cough.

The pains in the chest indicated an approaching attack of pneumonia, which in this instance was undoubtedly warded off by Chamberlan's Cough Rem- edy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumonia. For sale by E. G. Fowler, Druggist. adv.

GREEK SERVANT GIRLS
HOW THE QUESTION Is SOLVED
IN TURKEY.
Lassies That Have No Followers and
Eat Next to Nothing--Working for
Dowries.

The servant-girl problem does not
yet exist in Constantinople, as a large
supply of Greek servants arrive from
the islands every year. At first they
are quite helpless. but are very quick
at picking up their work and learning
English. AS a rule, they make excel
lent servants, and are easily managed.
As the policemen and soldiers are all
Turks-their hereditary enemies-they
have no followers" Their one ambi-
ton is to save up enough money for a
marriage portion, without which no
Greek girl can be married. Frequently
it happens that after she has married,
her husband spends all the money and
she comes back to service, and COntin-
ues working while her husband lives
on her savings Every two or three
years she wants to visit her island, and
see her people, and is satisfied with
that as a holiday and never asks for
days or afternoons out. Food for these
women costs little, as they don't care
for meat, and live mostly on bread,
fruit, and vegetables. At several per-
iods of the year, they have long fasts
of as much as forty days when they
are only permitted to eat bread and
vegetables.
AS a rule, they are very honest, but
if there is reason to suspect them of
theft the village priest generally sue
Ceeds in obtaining confession. The
only things which really attract them
are photographs, especially those of
the family in which they work. 1t
takes weeks to make them understand
that doors should be shut; in their own
country they have none. What is still
more difficult to teach them is to turn
the handle of a door. For years they
will always try to dispense with the
handle in opening and shutting it. One
girl showed utter ignorance of a stair
case, and was a long time in learning
how to go up and down without using
! it like a ladder \ last popularity is
the fact that none ever seem to under
stand the principle of anything with a
screw. but invariably try to force it
without turning it. These, however,
are quite minor drawbacks. At one
| time a general strike seemed inevita-
| BILE. This was when English ladies
tried to get their maids to wear caps
and aprons At first they fatty refus-
! ed, but gradually, as they found out
! that the caps suited them, they be-
came reconciled, and now look exceed
! ingly smart.

TO LEARN TO SWIM

1T isn't everybody that can learn to
SWIM" said a Philadelphia man who
has patented a device which he is try
ing to introduce into uatatoriums. Il
can't swim myself, and that may strike
you as being very strange, in view Of
the fact that | have invented a machine
to aid the beginner. Still l know the
theory perfectly, and my appliance has
survived the tests Of experts. l think
the fact that I could never learn to
sW i'm is what suggested the idea to me
in the first place. As ! said before, there
are people who are so constructed ply
sically that they cannot keep atlOat in
the water, just as there are others
whose ability to swim seems innate
Nearly all my life l have been trying
to learn and can't. I'm not built for it,
My father couldn't swim; neither could
my grandfather, and l have four broth
ers, none of them can swim. l have
given this matter considerable research,
and 1 find that TINS trait usually runs
n families.

JAPANESE THEATER GoERs
Show Their Appreciation in a Practical
shape

The Japanese theater-g oers have
very original way of showing their APP
proval of a particularly fine perform
light, and when the enthusiasm reaches
its highest pitch, hats, coats, or other
articles of clothing are shower
ed upon the stage, as bouquets are flung
to the favorities in this country. A
story is told of a foreigner who saw
this rain of coats and sashes falling up
up the stage after a thrilling scene, and,
wishing to contribute his mite he toss
ed his hat over, too. He was willing to
sacrifice that much to keep up the Gre
dit of his country, particularly as the
cap in his pocket to fan back upon.
Much to his surprise, at the close of the
entertainment the manager brought
his hat back to him, and asked for a
sum of money. A few inquiries ELECTED
the Information that the articles thrown
to the star were merely pledges, to be
afterwards redeemed by money the
actors having a regular schedule of
prices. So much for coats, pipes, and
sashes and a corresponding sum for
foreigners hats or any trifle. The en-
thusiast reluctantly handed over the
amount received back his old hat, and
departed from the scene of action a
SaddeT but a wiser man-Wiser in that
he recognized the necessity of thorough
ly understanding the meaning of for
eign customs before following them
with ardor.

THREW AWAY A FORTUNE.

1t is probable that Lord Kitchener is
the only man living who has ordered
100000 to be thrown away. OF course,
it was done under Misrepresentation.
Large quantities Of stores We're, S is
well known, destroyed when we eVacu-
ated the country after the fall of Khar-
toum in 1883, owing to the want of suf-
fcient transport for their removal.
Among them, says the Week End
were about one million rounds of am
munitiOn, which were ordered to be
thrown into the Nile. To Kitchener
fell the duty Of formerly certifying to
the destruction, and it was not until
the last of the boxes had been hurled
into the middle of the river that it was
discovered that two of them contained,
not ammunition but 10000 sovercigns
apiece. This happened at Shendy, and
it win be interesting to see If any at
tempt will ever be made to recover the
last treasure. Probably not. Most
likely il has long been buried, past all
redemption, in the Nile mud. But the
fact remains that there it is-G20,0o0 in
good English gold.
