WORTH KNOWING.
At This Season of the Year.

Any cough accompanied by eXpecto-
ration which lasts over three or four
days requires attention and treatment;
this does not mean a visit to the hos
pital, nor to your physician nor whole
sale drugging with patent medicines;
but it means that some simple, harm
less, effective, antiseptic remedy like
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets should be
used to ward off any possible terminal
ton in Pneumonia, Chronic Catarrh,
Bronchitis or Consumption.
All of these formidable diseases start
from a common cold, neglected or al
lowed to run it's course and it is only
the exercise of common every day eau
ton to cure a cold as quickly as pos
sible, not so much for what it is at the
moment. but what it may become if
neglected.
Perhaps no remedy is so safe, reli-
able and convenient to stop cold or
obstinate cough as Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets.
The extract of blood root contained
in them combined with the red gum
of the Eucalyptus tree seem to put the
mucous membrane of the nose, mouth
the germs of catarrh bronchitis and
consumption, and as they are taken in
ternally they seem to equaize the cir
culation and place the body in that
condition of health which resists, and
throws off the germs of disease.
A person in perfect health rarely
catches cold and if he does, throws it
off in a day or two, but, where the cold
hangs on, stopping up the nostrils, ir-
ritating the throat or there is persis-
tent annoying cough it is evident that
the system for some reason is unable
to throw off the disease germs which
cause the trouble; a little assistance is
necessary. and this is best given by
the use OF some harmless germ oe-
stroying antiseptic like Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets which are also palatable
and equally so for children and adults.
Druggists sell these tablets at so
cents full sized package, higher in price
than troches and cheap cough syrups,
but Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
antiseptic properties which actually
cure colds, catarrh and throat ana lung
troubles while it is a notorious TACT
that cough drops and cough syrups are
largely composed of opium, cocaine ana
similar drugs that have no curative
power.
1t is also true that many popular
LIQUID medicines and tonics for catarrh
depend upon the alcohol they contain
which gives simply a temporary stimu-
lation of no real benefit for any trouble,
catarrhal or otherwise. Jane's'iV

Mr.. SWinburne's style, especially in
his later work, is censured severely by
a writer in the Academy. 1T was new
er a sound STYLE he says, even when
it was most charged with vehement
eloquence: but it is becoming some
thing worse than vicious, if that be
possible. Mr.. Swnburne is never
delivered of verbs or adjectives but in
twins. AN everlasting and godlike
type of heroic and human agony DOM
mates and dwarfs,' etc. That is the
way of it, without intermission. And
this redundance Of words is merely
part of a vice which sinks into the
whole tissue of the style. Everything
is in excess. Mr.. Swinburne seems
incapable of praise (for instance) ex-
cept by hyperbole. 1t might be curious
for some statistician to compute how
often in his critical writings he has
used the formula, There is nothing in
all literature or nothing in all poe
try'-as the case may be. Every writ
er he has occasion to praise must in
some way be superlatively supreme
above all other writer's. Incompar
able transcendent,' 'unequalled,

adjectives fly about till the air is thick
with them and they have as little value

1t is a striking coincidence of Ameri
can and English editorial policy that
two leading reviews one on each side
of the Atlantic, announce simultane-
ously the entrance of fiction into the
columns of their January numbers-the
North American Review, edited by Col.
George Harvey, and the Review OF Re
views, edited by William T. Stead. In
the case of the North American Re
view, Henry JameS's novel is the first
fiction it has ever published; and the
Review of Reviews has until now pub
lished no fiction for the past twelve
years. Thus the public, American or
English, gets what it wants sooner or
later.
The English publisher who an
nounces a series of "Half-Forgotten
Books" has certainly struck good

The London Academy says one can
not help feeling that the rush of such
a life as that of the late Frank Nor
ris has something to do with his early
death. He lived his life to the full; he
saw much and remembered what he
saw. From Harvard he went to Paris,
where he studied art; he represented
a San Francisco paper in South At
RIGA at the time of the raid, and he
was in Cuba in 1898 for New York
magazine. 1t is however, perhaps err

VICTIM OF COCAINE.
Young Man Admits He is Addicted to
It's Use,

A. Riley Rock, about twenty-eight years
old, who resides with his father and step
mother Mrs. Alice Rock, at 145S Corcoran
street northwest. was defendant in the
District branch of the Police Court this
morning on charge Of vagrancy, filed on
complaint of his stepmother
Mrs Rock testified that Riley is addicted
to the use of cocaine, and that Saturday
afternoon, while under the influence Of the
drug, he threatened to hit her with a
Ratchet and threw a brick at the colored
domestic employed at the house. Bicycle
Policeman Walsh, who was called to the
house to take the young man into custody,
said he found him standing guard at
closet, armed with Ratchet. The officer
testified that the defendant threatened to
brain him with the weapon, and that it
was necessary for him to draw his re-
volver
Young Rock admitted that he was a vic
tim of the cocaine habit, but declared that
he was not under the influence of the drug
at the time Of his arrest. He said he had
taken some medicine to quiet his nerves,
and 1t not only did that, but set him crazy.
Judge Kimball directed that Rock should
give bond of $500 or stand committed to
the workhouse for three months as the
equivalent.

AWAITS LEGISLATION.
Remaining of Suburban Streets Held in

In connection with the request Of the Mt.
Pleasant Citizens Association made to the
Commissioners, that the name of Lowell
street and Whitney avenue be abandoned
and that the driveway from Brightway
avenue west to the entrance Of Rock
Creek Park be called Park avenue, the
District authorities today approved the rec
ommendatfon of Commissioner Biddle that
the association be informed that bill has
been introduced in Congress, at the request
of the Commissioners, giving them author
ity to name or rename all streets outside
the city limits If this bill becomes law,
1t Is stated, the whole question Of renam-
ing the streets outside the city will be taken
up. This cannot be done until such author
ity is granted, since at present the Commits
sioners have authority to rename streets
only in those cases where two different
streets bear the same name.
The association will be further informed
that the Commissioners appreciate the fact
that Lowell and Park streets and Whitney
avenue should form an important thorough
fare, as connecting Rock Creek Park and
the Soldiers Home, and that the request Of
the association will be considered when tho
streets are being renamed.

The Orphans Friends.

The twentieth annual donation party, en-
tertainment and sociable, given by the
Catholic Knights of Washington, D. C.,
November 49, for the benefit of the orphan
boys Of st. Joseph's Asylum, was this year
a grand success, and although full returns
for tickets have not yet been made. 1t Is
certain that the proceeds will exceed those
of other years.
The orphans at st. Josephs, as is well
known, are supported chiefly by charity,
but the poor little fellows have many good
friends and benefactors. In the Catholic
knights they find parents care. Mrs.
James F. Barbour's annual Christmas dona-
ton is. never less than a personal gift to
every boy. a gift well chosen and appre-
ciated by all. Besides this, the boys have
long looked forward to her many delightful
treats given at various times during the
year. Mr.. p. ]. Nee always furnishes the
handsome programs for the orphans bali;
Mr.. r. Bedberich the circulars and cards;
Mr.. John Ridden the extra circulars, while
to Mrs. Copies and Mrs. Schwipg and
other charitable ladies always contribute
materially to the success Of the entertain
ments.
