There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and prescribed
iocal remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney q Co.,

on the market. 1t is taken internallyindose

How to Win Souls For Christ.

Andrew teaches Christians still the
first lesson in soul-winning: Go for
your own brother. That is, try to bring
to Christ those whom you love, those
nearest to you. 1t makes no difference
whether the nearness is Of blood or
sympathy. You will succeed where
you love.
Christianity is to win the world by
this process alOne-neighbor influence

A Sparkling Fashion.

Fashion DEGREES, says the Lady's Pic

spangie ourselves, for our hair, as it
were, with tirefies, wear trimmings
and ornaments and embroideries that
shine, and carry little shimmering bags
and sparkling fans. and set u feet
in shoes that are incrusted with golden
and metallic beads. 1t is a good sign
that social life, too, will have some
sparkle and glitter, and that for a sea-
son, at all events, We are going to
look on the brighter side Of everything.

ing is made at the left of the front.

A PansS Crown.

One Of the admirable and novel large
hats is of brown velvet. The brim is
dole in three overlapping layers OF the
velvet. the outer one dropping a bit and
suggesting a mushroom. The crown
is rather high. Pansy blossoms, the
small old.fashioned garden sorts, are
scattered thickly around this crown
from the base to the top. The yelve!
flowers are in the golden shades, with
a good bit of violet intermiDgled. So
far this does not sound peculiar. but
the small, fat cluster of dead pink
roses fastened at the left front of the
crown is particularly noticeable and
Frencby.

Edison on Capital Punishment.

Harper's Weekly.
 At the time when electricity was sub stituted for hemp as the means for executing capital punishment in the State of New York there was earnest | and continued protest from electricians against the change. They felt very strongly about 1t. considering ap- parently, that the element. they dealt in was disgraced by being used to take life, and that such use would raise A prejudice against 1t which would hurt it industrially. Their protests to the Legislature and in the public prints were disregarded. and the example set by New York has since. been followed by other States. The man who lately asked MT. Edison if he was the in ventor of the apparatus for killing murderers must have been unaware of the attitude of the electriacl profession towards that apparatus. Mir. Edisons s reply. as printed In the papers, is i'm teresting. He said he was sorry that electricity had ever been put to the way to take life, but he thinks it by no means painless. He said:
 There is a sensation of a moment only. but in. that moment there is pain indescribable. The flash comes, and the shock; 1t is ten times more ex- cruciating than the feeling that results from placing ones hand upon live coals. It is a burning. devilish. narrowing l feeling.

| that his name Is connected with noth- ing common or mediocre; consequently the coming here of the Sothern and Marlowe alliance in Shakespearean al anna, under the management of Mir. Frohmsn, will surely be a long-remem- bered event. No expense. which the largest experience combined with the utmost liberality can suggest, has been spared to make this series of repre- sentations as perfect as possible. The appearance of Sothern and Mar lowe, at the theatre Friday night gives promise of being the chief theatrical event of years. The linking of these famous stars is interesting enough in itself, but the fact that they are to be supported by a company of unusual quality and appear in one or snake sreare's plays. and that presented in the most artistically adequate fashion as concerns all the details of costum- ing and scenic environments, marks this engagement as an occasion Of arr tistic interest.
 The first appearance here of MT. Sothern as Romeo will certainly be interesting as this gentleman has long been identified with sentimental roles of modern cast; as for Miss Marlowe, she has for years been recognized as one of the most charming of Juliets.
 The cast will be as follows: Escalus.' prince of Verona Frank
 Kingdom. Paris, a young nobleman kinsman to
 the prince .. .. Sydney c. Mather. Rcmeo, son to Montague E. H. Sothern. Mercutio, kinsman to the prince, and
 friend to Romeo G. Harrison Hunt

 Example: He has been mad all morning." should be "He has been an- gry all morning."
 Motel am aware that the word mad is sometimes defended because 1t Is used in the Bible and in Shakespeare. but there are many Biblical and Shake spearean words and terms that are now used to convey a different meaning. The word mad. however. is still in use. but should not take the place of the word angry. We speak of animals go- ing mad, but we signify thereby much more than is contained in the word an- gry.
