There is one rational way to treat
nasal catarrh: the medicine is applied direct
to the affected membrane. The remedy is
Ely's Cream Balm. Ii restores the inilamed
tissues TO healthy state without drying all
the life out of them and it gives back the lost
senses of taste and smell. The sufferer who is
tired of vain experiments should use Cream
Balm. Druggists sell it for 90 cts. Ely

A Terririnx Hat

Wien the French artist Rentamfn
Constant was travelling in Morocco he
was invited by the sultan to present
himself at court at Fee. The New
York Staats-Zeitung says that the
painters first thought was in regard
TO his costume.
"Court' in Europe was one thing; in
Morocco it was likely to prove some
thing different. There was nothing to
do, however, but to wear his ordinary
evening clothes. He was ignorant Of
the fact that the Moors look upon black
garments as very vulgar, and it was
only after his arrival that he learned
his mistake.
The courtRrs smiled openly; worst
of all, they sIh,ered. The painter was
man of hasty temper, and slKLbeIhy,
nettled by their inSolelite he closed
his opera hat and sprung it open tn the
faces of the jeering crowd. They scat
tered, yelling with surprise and fear.
The sultan heard the noise and de-
manded tho cause. After he had seen
and examined the wonderful hat he
gave this or;huLP opinion:
IF | had lived a hundred yanS tn
your country and adopted an yonr 9th
err customs l could never have brought
myself to set on my head so hideous
contrivance as that"'

EVILS OF BAD ROADS
WHAT THE FARMERS ARE LOSING BY
POOR HIGHWAYS.

Cost of Transportation Greatly In

Bad roads constitute an evil which
the rural population has grown so ac-
customed to all over the country that 1t
has become habit to endure them
without comment, says a writer in the
Horsemnn. If the horses and other
live stock Were able to talk. what a tale
of suffering they would tell! Wading
knee deep in mud climbing steep hills
and jumping bridges nearly ready to
collapse have been the necessities of
going to town for every farm horse
once upon a time during his life. For
every road has experienced its evil
days. no matter how we'll it may now
be improved Who suffers? The horse
suffers personal injury; the farmer
and other industries only suffer finan-
cially.
Bad roads stscgnate business. They
injure the social and educational life
of the farm They spoil the pleasure of
people living in smaller towns who
often wish TO ride into the country aud
visit their rural friends. And, further
more, bad roads are expensive. The

The Band Played.

General Custer believed in having
martial music on all possible occasions.
He would have the band out at 5
O'Clock in the morning and the last
thing in the evening. One day when
regiment had just come into camp Gen
eral, Custer ordered the band out. The
men were tired and reported that they
had lost the mouthpieces of their in
StrumentS-
Very well," said the general you
may take pickaxes and shovels and
help repair the roads. You may find
the missing mouthpieces while you are

that the band played soon after.

from the tip OF his splendid gard long
tail TO his pink Tipped naMzle. HIS coat
was as silk plush, his neck as supple
as a swans, and out Of his big. bright
eyes there looked such Intelligence that
one half expected him to speak. His
lines were all long, graceful curves,
and when he danced daintily on his
slender legs one could see the muscles
tiex under the delicate skin.
