There are two things that the whole
medical profession agree about concern
ing catarrh. The first Is that catarrh is
the most prevalent and omnipresont dis
ease to. which the people in the United
States are subject. All classes Of people
have It. Those who stay indoors much
and those who go outdoors much.
Working classes have it and ~sedentary
cl1eses have 1t.

ticult to cure IL. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure perma-
nently. sprays or snuffs amount to
little or nothing except 10 give tempo
rary relief.
Catarrh Is frequently located in inter-
nal organs which cannot be reached by
any sort OF local treatment. All this Ia
known by every physician.
To devise some systemic informal rem
cdy which would reach catarrh at its
source, to eradicate 1t permanently from
the system-this has been The desire OF
the medical profession for a long time.

St Louis, Aug 27-Iowa's flag rails

President Francis called attention. in
his response, to a few facts of great
Importance in the history of the expo

WITH VERY LITTLE SURPRISE
London Receives the News of Sham
rock HIS Second Defeat.
Now Taken for Granted that Sir
Thomas Has No Chance to Lift
the Cup This Year.

London, Aug. 27-The news of the
second victory OF the Reliance was re-
ceived in London with little surprise.
The crowds in the streets were even
smaller than the one on the occasion
OF the first race. The papers devoted
many editions to the progress of the
struggle, but there were only a few
watchers at the tickers and the bulle-
tin boards when the result was final
ly announced.
Ii is now regarded as impossible that
Sir Thomas Upton can left the cup this
year, and the newspapers display wan
ing interest in the contest His i'll
luck in falling with the three Sham
rocks to win a single race is the sub
ject for editorial sympathy. and espe-
cially after the fine showing the Sham
rock made Tuesday, which is praised
on all hands.
The Standard says:
Sir Thomas Upton will of course
abate no whit of his endeavor to Sc
cure favorable result in the remain
ing contest, and if the sympathy of his
hosts could affect the issue he might
also count upon one victory
The New York correspondents of the
English papers mostly concede that
Reliance is the better boat and Capt.
Barr the more skillful skipper, but
they think that under certain condi-
tons the Shamrock III. might win.

SPINSTERS IN GERMANY.
Unmarried Women Who Have "a
Earn Living Meet with Many
Discouragemeu

The education OF German girl be-
gins at six; it is compulsory. and the
rule for attendance is strictly en-
forced mother cannot keep q
delicate or ailing child at home with
out a doctors certificate. Work is
carried on at the fullest stretch, and
the strain on mind and body is such
that many a German girl leaves
school with her nerves shaken and
her health injured for life, says
Ladies' Field Little time is allowed
for gymnastics or outdoor games,
though some change in this respect
is now being made. and at 16 the
girl leaves school. after passing num-
berless examinations, her studies hav-
ing Included languages, history.
science, mathematics. dancing and
singing, thorough course in cook
cry and ncedlework. Ii is these last
two accomplishments that she makes
the most use of in after life. The rest
lead to nothing and in the majority
of cases the girl might just as well
have been spared the strain of &C
ton.
Marriage is considered as much a
sine qua non with a German as with
q French girl, but ii is not arranged
in the same businesslike way, unhap-
PLY, ii would seem. Ii is left TO the
young woman herself to attract a
husband, and, as spinsterhood in

are continually occupied with their
matrimonial chances.
An unmarried woman is an abb
solute failure. While ner parents
live she remains in entire subserv-
fence to them, and when they die she
is usually terribly poor, while if of
good birth she would rather starve
than work for pay. II she belongs to
an aristocratic family she may obtain
a small allowance of about 1925 a
year. with board and lodging. in a
stiff, or sort of lay convent, en-
dowed by successive benefactors for
the support of these unmarried
daughters and sisters. Residence in
the stiff is only compulsory for few
months of the year. and the stiftdame
may visit and receive friends as much
as she likes.
Teaching is the principal occupa-
ton open to those women obliged to
earn their livelihood but the govern
ment examinations are severe. the
the pay poor and the work hard, and
there are few opportunities of rising,
OF late years women are beginning to
work for university degrees so that
they may take equal places with the
men in the schools, and the Froebel
movement has helped some to more
satisfactory positions. Hospital nurs-
ing is almost the only other profess
sion open to the sex. Dentists are
numerous. but medical degrees must
still be obtained abroad, and feminine
journalism is confined to the realm of
fashion.
