THE SONGS OF OTHER DAYS.

THE SONGS OF OTHER DAYS. Sing methe songs that once I loved to
 hear That were sung in the long, long ago, By voices so sweet and in memory so
 dear, But are silent now for many year. In fancy listening again can hear A voice that is soft and low, "Rock-a-bye, baby on the tree-top.' Cou Id mother e me from that echoless Again to love me as in days of yore, What wouldn't l give for one mo-
 ment's such bliss, For Life couldn't hold greate than
 this. In fancy listening again I can hear That old song as sung by one once so
 dear, Backward. turn backward, oh time
 in your flight" As close my eyes vision will come Of one by my side in far distant How she sang in the evening, so cheer
 full and gay, When the cares of this life were far,
 far away. The theme was or nome and With eyes
 shining bright, That looked into mine with loves holy
 light, In fancy listening again I can hear The song that she sang with voice soft
 and clear, "Mid pleasures and palaces where ever
 we may rOam." In fancy l picture the future in store, A wide rushing river and 1 stand on
 it's shore, While boatman is waiting to ferry
 he OCT, And pause and look on the far other
 side And see the dear loved ones who have
 crossed the dark tide. In fancy listening again l can hear The voices of those that to me were
 so dear, "We shall meet beyond the river"

There is no other disease so widespread as Catarrh. It infests nearly every home and is felt to greater or less degree by almost all of us at some time during our lives.
 Its ravages are not confined to the nose alone but it soon affects the Throat and Lungs, then the Stomach and Liver, and finally the Kidneys and Bowels become

weakened and broken down by reason of the terrible curse of Catarrh. This dis ease is infammatory in its nature and is very liable to affect the membranes and tissues of any vital organ or part of the system and produce results which cause a lifetime of suffering and regret.
 Men of science and students of medi- cine have tried in vain for years to find a positive cure, but it has remained for one living in our own generation to fin ally discover what he claims to be cer- tain remedy for Catarrh of any organ of the body. His claims are vouched for by the words of hundreds of people whose honesty cannot be doubted; people who have suffered for years and tried every other known rem dy without avail; people who had not faith at first but were finally cured and convinced of the wonderful power of this new discovery in medical science.
 The famous physician to whom the credit belongs for this wonderful devel- opment and addition to twentieth-cent- ury science is DR. J. A. JONAS, D.
 Fredericksen Bldg, South Bend, Ind. He will send anyone who is suffering from Catarrh free treatment to prove the merits and wonderful curative properties of this new discovery. Readers are re- quested to describe their case when writ ing to the doctor for the Free Treatment.
 If you have any other disease, pain or afaiction besides Catarrh write the doctor about 1t and he will send a free treatment for that also at tho same time he sends you tho Free Treatment for Catarrh.

made of the same metal. and to the
centre is attached a large and valu-
able cone-shaPed nugget. unwrought,
as it came from the mine. This novel
and exquisite necklace is n votive Of

imported statue of the Virgin which
adprns the villa chapel. The gift is
presented by ". j. Nolan, brother of
Sister F. Bcrgia, wei! known to the
patrons and friends of the villa.

play in all his dramas. The lecture
closed with very lucid comparison
between the best plays OF today and
those of Shakespeare.
The second lecture was given yes
terday afternoon by Rev. II. Hauser,
who came from Chicago for that pur-
pose. His subject was Dante" al

of the divine comedy. His choice was
happy one, as the seniors are now

Duty of All Democrats.
If the democrats are 10 succeed in
this fight there are several require
ments TO be observed. 1t is not only
essential TO nominate the right kind
of 4 man for alderman. but to select
committeeman and delegates whom it
is known cannot be controlled by
Looney and from whom it viii be i'm
possible for him to procure proxies.
And right here it seems meet that a
suggestion be made to those who may
stand for the aldermanic election. 1t
is not alone enough that the candidate
be himself known anti-LConey man,
but if he has sufficient influence to Sc
cure his own nomination, he must see
to it that his ward sends an anti
Looney delegation to the city-town-
ship cow ention. and that the commit
teemen be of like character. The
standing of all candidates Will nat
uralIy be judged by the character of
the caucus or convention from which
he comes. In other words. it is a
question Of principle more than ever
before at this time. in preference to
individual aspiration Of any kind.
Let every democrat do his full duty
for the higher and better interests of
his party in general, and there can be
no doubt as TO what the result win be.

For Toilet Details.

A capital notion is a large case Of
fax linen, daintily embroidered, with
different sized receptacleS for holding
gloves, wells, cravats, waist ribbons
and the hundred and one details that
nowadays go to make up well-turned-
out woman's toilet. Wells carefully
handled will last a long time, whereas,
tossed into drawer without being fold
ed, and stretched out to their original
width. they scarcely last a week in
condition one would term respectable.
The tendency of all these Open-meSh
woven things is to shrink. The fancy
for the long gauze veil, with deep hem
border, grows apace. That these
spend quite half their life thrown
back over the hat in nowise Affects
their popularity. Indeed, for such
were they apparently ordained, the
smart French and American eIegantes
fiagrantly adding an ordinary fine,
russian net for actual use.

Deep or Shallow Soils,

Ordinarily it is desirable to have a
deep soil, that the roots of plants may
strike deep. The latter is a desidera-
tum for the reason that a deep root,
ing plant is less affected by the
droughtS than any others. We see
this in the case Of some trees, which
have tap roots and are seldom affect
ed by the dry weather. The shallow
soils are first to respond to drOuth
and sometimes they are the slowest
TO dry out, when the weather is wet.
The deeper the soil and the more it
Is looSened up the greater the zone of
earth that will be subject to the op.
eratlonS Of the bacteria that add nj
trogen to the soil. One way of deep
entng a soil is to pillow it as deep as
possible with a common pillow and
then put on a crop of deep roofing
legumes. There are some legumes
that do not send their roots very deep,
such as COW peas, and there are
others that send their rOtoS 10 the
greatest possible depth into the soil,
such as the clovers and alfalfa. On
multitudes of farms a soil will re.
main shallow whatever the crop IN
less the land is drained. When this
Is done the drains should be as deep
as three feet. Then the frCsts will
work in deeper than they otherwise
will and the air will be present on the
displacement of the water. Subsoil
blowing is sometimes effective and
sometimes not, but it should not be
undertaken unless there is to be a
considerable benefit received from the
operation, as it is an expensive one.
