Drying preparations simply devel.

Drying preparations simply devel-
op dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions,
which adhere to the membrane and decom-
pose, causing q far more serious trouble than
the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all dry
ing inhalants, fumes, smokes and snufs
and use that which cleanses, soothes and
heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such remedy
and will cure catarrh or cold in the head
easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be
mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the
500. Gize. Ely Brothers, Sc Warren st., NY.

PANAMA CANAL TREATY.
Senate Will Continue Its Considera.
tion Until Disposed OF.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The Repub-
llcan senators held a caucus and decid-
ed to have the senate continue con-
sideration of the Panama canal treaty
during the day, and on future days
until the treaty shall be disposed Of
This result was reached after an hour
and a half's discussion Of the legisla-
tive situation in the senate. The con-
clusion reached was unanimous. The
understanding is that the statehood
bill does not lose its advantageous
position in the order Of business when
the senate Is in legislative session.
The Republican supporters OF the
statehood bill agree not to antagonize
motion for an executive session to
consider the canal treaty, nor to make
any objection to the prolongation Of
such sessions to any extent necessary
to secure ratification.

Tho RooPbach.

Over fifty years ago writer of mon
umental but plausible lies in Thurlow
Weeds Albany Evening Journal signed
his letters Baron Roorbach." There
was no such baron. There was no man
named "Roorbach." But the absolute
falsity of the writer's statements wa
such that "roorbach" became syno-
nym for any kind Of lie, especially for
the kind against personal character
suddenly issued against a man for his
injury when he could not meet it in
time, to avert the harm. The lie Of poll
ties, the lie started for political pur-
poses, 10 the "roorbach" most in use the
week before election.-Brooklyn Eagle.

SAFES FOR THE HOME.
CunninEly Hidden, Even From tn
Eyes of Servants.

Cunningly Hidden, Even From the
Eyes of Servants.
The clumsy safe which formerly held
the precious stones and documents Of
the wealthy has practically been abol-
ished in the homes of those who can
afford to keep abreast of the times in
such matters, and in its place have
been introduced curiously wrought
places Of concealment which the pro-
fessional burglar would have great
difficulty in finding. a little secrecy
has been found to be worth more than
a foot Of chilled steel. The old fash
toned home or Office safe is direct in
vitation to a burglar. He knows that
the diamonds, jewelry and spare cash
and valuable documents are kept there.
Otherwise, why have a safe in the
home? There Is hardly a man who
does not at some time have considera-
BILE valuables in his home which he
must intrust to his private safe.
The most ingenious method Of mod
ern safe builders is to construct re-
ceptacle for valuables in the walls,
floor or ceilings Of the house. The
work is as ingenious as it is effective.
An expert examines the different parts
Of room selected for the purpose and
finally hits upon a place where conceal
ment can be made the most effective.
A square Of couple Of feet or more is
taken out Of the plaster, and chilled
steel safe Is made to fit in the hole thus
made The inside Of the safe is lined
with plush for holding diamonds and
precious jewels, and there are compart-
ments for bills and valuable docu-
ments. When fitted in its niche in the
wall, ceiling or floor, the most 1ngen-
ious part Of the contrivance is then
made by an expert. The opening Of the
safe door is made so carefully that it
appears as If the side of the wall moves
outward as If by magic. The spring
which controls the mechanism is often
concealed in the picture molding or
cornice some distance from the safe
itself.
To make it doubly sure SO that no
one would accidentally touch the spring
and reveal the hidden safe, with it's
treasures, there is usually a second
spring. The first one consists chiefly
in removing small piece Of the mold
ing or wooden base of the rim, and this
Uscloses nothing but bare surface Of
wood. A little examination will show,
however, that this wooden surface Is
divided into little square lines. One Of
these squares holds the second hidden
spring. By pressing it in certain way
it will spring open the door Of the safe,
located probably half dozen feet
away. Consequently if workmen or
servants should accidentally knock off
the piece Of molding or wooden base
which reveals the second spring the
secret would still be intact.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.
