FIRSTSTAGE OF CATARRH
. Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.
MRS. Nj. BRINK

The first stage Of catarrh is what is
commonly known as catching cold"
It may be in the head, nose, throat or
lungs. It's beginning is sometimes SO
severe as to cause a chill and consider
able fever, or it.may be SO slight as to
not hinder person from his usual
business. In perhaps a majority of
cases little or no attention is paid to
the first stage of catarrh, and hence it
is that nearly oneShalf of the people
have chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. As soon as any one discovers

Unless this is done the cold is al

When the boosters Crow.

The feelings Of some honest folk from
the country when they visit large city
have been very accurasly described by
Chicago paper, and as this old farmer
says, there's very little difference be-
tween city and country If you only look
for the things which they have in COM
mon.
I'm all right in Chicago If l can hear
the roosters crow once in WHILE" said
John, "but when / don't hear them l get
pretty homeslck, and want to hurry
back to the old farm in Ford County.
That's why l always pick out lodgings
as close as l can get to South Water
street.
II come up here once in a while on
business Of my own, and feel at home
well enough down at the tock-yards
in the daytime, where the hogs grunt
and the cattle below, but I'm lonesome
at night when can't hear the roosters.
Il reckon II you was down on my
farm night or two, you'd be mighty
glad to hear a street-car gong, or a
steamboat whistle, or a wagon clatter-
ing over the stones. When a fellow has
heard a rooster crow about sunup every
morning for forty years, he doesn't feel
just right when he gets where there are
no roOsters.
You can talk all you please about
your clean city and your city beauti-
full as the newspapers call it, but I'd
rather smell clover field in this town
when I'm lonesome than the sweetest
flowers you've got on State street.
81 recollect Parson Cross saying once
in sermon, that a touch of nature
makes the whole world kin. Somehow
when hear a rooster crow up here, or a
sheep 5leat, or get the smell of a stable

his personal convictions were directly

Bouck In the space behind the last
row of seats, walking back and forth
and gesticulating excitedly, bringing

Now any one who has looked at the
skeleton of a snake-and 1t Is really
very beautiful ob1ect-will have been
struck by the great number OF ribs,
which may be as many as ten hundred
and fifty pairs. In these lies the secret
Of the ability Of the serpent to do some
Of these wonderful things. The lower
end of each rib is connected with one
of the broad scales that run along
the under side OF a snake, and when
rib is twisted slowly backward. II
pushes on the scale, the edge of the
scale catches on the ground or what
ever object his snakeship may be rest
ing on. and the body of the snake is
pushed just a little bit forward. OF
course. each rib moves the body but
a mere trifie; but where the ribs are
so many. and they are moved one after
another, the result Is that the snake
moves slowly but steadily ahead.-St

SOME STORIES oF RuskIN.
He Still Feared His Parents When II
Waa Eorfv Raara DId


He Still Feared His Parents When He
Was Forty Years Old.
One gets the impression from reading
Of Ruskins early years that he missed
many Of the privileges of healthy boy
hood. When he was man, he and
companion were out one day upon the
mountahside. They passed a group of
men. says a writer In the Strand Mag
azlne, who were engaged in rough
work with pickaxes.
How WISH" said Ruskln, 81 could
do what those men are doing! l was
never allowed to do any work which
would have strengthened my back.
| wasn't allowed to ride, for fear Of
being thrown of; nor TO row, for fear
of being drowned; nor to box, because
It was vulgar. l was allowed to fence,
because that was genteel."
Sometimes, when he was living with
his parents at Denmark Hill, he would
enjoy surreptltious row on the river.
II used to be told" says the same COM
panion, mot to let his father and moth
er know where he had gone" Ruskin
was then In the forties.
1t is easy to read here woman's
fears and prejudice and domination.
Ruskln was always, quite properly,
under his mothers control; but it Is
possible that If he had had the outlet
Of reasonable athletics his destructive
moods would have been less marked.
1t was during his residence at Den
mark Hal that he was matchmaking
something or somebody most unrea-
sonably.
John" said his mother, ''you talk
too much and you talk nonsense"
Yes, mother" Ruskln replied, as
humble as little boy, and changed
the subject.
Ruskin was not afraid to admit to
others besides his mother that he was
wrong. In lecture at oxford when
he was a Slade professor, Sir William
Richmond defended the fame which
the world had accorded to Michelan-
gelo and Rafael. Formely Ruskin had
denounced Michelangelo and was not
very well pleased with Sir William
for presenting the other side. When
Ruskln recovered from the illness
which had cause him to give up the
Slade professorship, Sir William re-
tired, that he might fill 1t again.
Touched by this, Ruskln sent, asking
If he might come down and dine with
his former pupil, who was delighted
to have him. At the close Of pleas
ant evening, Ruskin said:
willy, why did you make that vio-
lent attack upon me about Michelan.

"Mr. Ruskin, because you talked
nonsense" replied Sir William.
Meanwhile Mr.. Ruskin rose to go.
"You are quite right, Willy" he said,
in his candid way. 1T was nonsense"
