That DOUBLE chin.

To women who know the tragic mo-
ment in q woman's life, when the
double chin makes it's first unmistak-
able appearance, there is a world of
pathos in the story told by the Chi
cago Record-Herald, of a Western
club woman who surprised her dear
est (club) friend in tears over some
Photographic proofs.
TITS come! It's comet" was the
non-explapatory exclamation finally
forced from her, after she had hastily
concealed the proofs, "T've been ex-
pecting it-an1 fighting against it.
for years, and at last must own my
self beaten. II can't help crying"
and the handsome head went hope
iessly, helplessly down.
What on earth is it7" questioned
the visitor, dreading to hear of she
knew not what terrible calamity or
sorrow. what is 1t, dear?" Tell
me at once" she added, imperatively,
fearing Mysteries for the distressed
weeper, who was rapidly losing all
remnants of her displaced self-con-
troll
''My-my double chin!" came the
sobbing answer. Il had my picture
taken yesterday, and-and It shows

THE season of catching cold is upon

THE season of catching cold is upon
us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twang are Co be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the
most common and dreadful of diseases, is
a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gem
orally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the
air passages which incline one TO catch
cold very easily. At last the person has a
cold all the while seemingly, more or less
discharge from the nose, hawking, spit
ting, frequent clearing of the throat, nos
trils stopped up, full feeling in the head
and sore, infiamed throat.
The best time to treat Catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle Of Peruna prop
erlY used never fails TO cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh
While many people have been cured Of
chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Per1na, yet, as n rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed. more than one
bottle Is necessary 70 complete a cure.
Peruna has cured cases innumerable
Of catarrh Of twenty years standing
IL is the best, IL not the only internal
remedy for chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than cure
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat at
this season Of the year and thus prevent
what is almost certain to end in chronic
catarrh.

cholee Of ! Liouse ca.

A good cat--the kind you want to
have in the house, II aRy--will have a
round, stUbby pug nose, fun, fat
cheeks and upper lips, and a well-de-
Veloped bump on the top Of the head,
between the ears, betokening good ma
tnre. A sleepy cat that purrs q good
deal Is apt to be playful and good
natured.
BY all means to be avoided is a cat
with thin sharp nose ana twitching
ears. II must be remembered. also,
that a good mOuser is not necessarily
a gentle or desirable pet. Although
any good cat will catch mice II she is
not overfed, quick, full. expressive
eyes generally betoken a good mouser.
The greatest mistake -aad prob
ably the most common 5ne-in the
care Of domestic cRt'i Is overfeeding.
particularly too much meat. In wild
life the cat has exercise which EN-
abIes her 70 digest her food. In the
lazy house life the same full feeding
leads to stomach troubles and to fts.

One of the most valuable literary
relics in England is to be auctioned
OF at sotheby's in March, unless It
can be secured during the interval for
either the British Museum or the
Bodleian Library. This is the original
manuscript of the first book of MIL
toms Paradise Lost" in eighteen
small quarto leaves. AS the poet had
been blind for fourteen years when
the epic was completed for the printer
not a stroke from these closely writ
ten pages was from his hand, and the
familiar tradition that he dictated the
poem to one Of his daughters is not
confirmed by the penmanship, which
is masculine in character. The alter
native theory that the amanuensis
was MiltOn's nephew, Edward Phil
lips, is hardly tenable, since the fact
is not mentioned in the little volume
of memoirs published by him in 1894.
II Phillips had taken down the poem
line by line he would probably have
claimed the credit for it, as well as
for suggesting alterations where the
verses needed mending. While the
identity of the amanuensis is a mys-
terry. 1t cannot be doubted that this is

Another payment Of 95 was made for
a second edition, and Millions widow
assigned all her rights after his death
for an additional sum Of eS. The
copyright was sold by the printer to
Brabazon Aylmer, a bookseller, who
subsequently transferred it to Jacob
Tonson, and three generations of
Tonsons printed numerous editions Of
Paradise Lost" and were enabled by
profits in trade to buy an estate in
HertfOrdshire. The manuscript was
preserved in the Tonson family as
the proof of their right to publish as
many editions of the poem as they
pleased, and it is now in the posses
sion Of William Robert Baker, a great
grandson Of Mary Tonson.
