A Wisconsin exchange notes that
"chiggers" are coming This is in
deed sure sign of spring. If you
don't believe it, tackle the chigoes.
For the uninitiated, it may be said,
that the chigoe is a wood-tick boiled
down to pin-point. In the reducing
process, however, none of the biting
qualities are eliminated, a mere con-
centration Of fire and sting being the
evident object. A lively chigoe, and
we never knew one that did not come
under that category, will burrow
under the skin with great aVidity and
anger aforethought. His intentions
are far from being honorable, but he
works with all the wild abandon and
extreme ecstasy of mule kicking at
feather buster. Several ointments are
said to be death on 'chiggers," and
the man who has EN- is warranted
not to linger longer than is absolutely
necessary in scratching his excited
way to the nearest drug store. We
have never been to California, but we
are told that fieas are exceedingly
promiscuous in their maddening gam

Arm California flea with minute
saw, a tiny augur, hip-pocketful of
cayenne pepper and a disposition to be

Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.
America is the land of nervous women
The great majority of nervous women are
so because they are suffering from some
form of female disease. BY far the great
est number of female troubles are caused
directly by catarrh. These women despair
of recovery. Female trouble is so common,
so prevalent, that they accept it as almost
inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the
way of recovery is that they do not under
stand that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness.
In female complaint, ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located

Modern Life and Sedatives.

1t is only doctors and those connected
with the sale of drugs who know the
immense 6m0unt of sedatives consumed
by the public at the present day. Every
man with a large acquaintance numbers
among his Immediate friends some who
take them in one form or another. There
are few who do not know ill-advised
and enthusiastic individuals who are al
ways insisting on giving every one a dose
of the last new specific against headache
or sleeplessness, or some of the various
nervous disorders common to our adj
vanced civilization. These drugs are
many and various and are sold under
different conditions. Many Of them are
supplied over the counter without anv
restrictions as ordinary articles of com
merce. among which we NAV mention
all the bromides and other drugs which.

Not Attending to Business.

The shrewdness of one of the foln.
ders Of a famous estate in Maine gave
rise to many amusing stories, one of
which has recently been retold.
One day the man, who was a large
lumber operator, was experimenting a
crew which was breaking up a log jam
in the river. Suddenly the spruce on
which he was standing slipped. The
lumberman dropped out of sight in the
water, and the logs closed over him.
The nearest Frenchman saw the &C.
cident. Hopping briskly over the slip.
perry logs, he helped the 'boss'' TO land.
Nothing was said about the accident.
After an hour or SO the Frenchman
began TO get anxious, because the re-
ward which he considered due him was
not forthcoming. He approached the
lumberman. and pulling clumsily at his
cap, stammered:
II see you fall in, m'sieur, ard 1 run
Aueek to pull you out fore you drown

"Prob'ly," snapped the lumberman.
