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 a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable.
science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore re-
ouires constitutional treatment. Halls

to make her his wife, could have wrought so peculiar

She had made no sound, no gesture to check his
rapturous pleading. She had listened almost Gag

moment before the man would almost have
hazarded the thought that she had dressed for the
ball thus early for the very purpose of granting him
some such moment as this, as he himself had
come there ahead of everyone in the hope of this
opportunity to tell of his love. Yet had his
declaration stunned her, she scarcely could
have appeared more distraught more intensely
white.

thing wrong? Does it come as such shock?"
She looked at him almost wildly. The light in
her eyes was one of searching inquiry. Nelson"

More pale than before if possible, more tense in
her every nerve she held to his hand with fingers
abruptly grown vice-like and cold, while she looked
at him out of eyes ablaze with fanatic fire.
The man almost might have feared to go on with
his wooing, had he known her less thoroughly for
the beautiful, generous, sweet-mnded girl that she
was.

WOMAN MAKER OF WoLINs
San Jose, Cal, Lady Has Distinction
Of Being Only One of Her Kind
in the Country.

To play the violin is the accom-
plishment of hundreds of young
women, but few have constructed
the beloved instrument from
which such wonderful melody can
be obtained, says the Philadel-
phia Press. Miss Grace BarstOw,
of San Jose, CAL, has the unique
distinction of being the only wOm-
an violin maker in America, if not
in the world, and, moreover, she is
a noted performer on the instru-
ments other making. Possess
ing a fitting environment and in
telligent sympathy, when her de.
sire to make a violin became
known, Miss BarstOw's family
gave her every encouragement,
and sent to Germany for the neces-
sary woods. Altogether six vic.
Inns have been completed by her,
each one a noted Improvement on

liant tone. Miss Barstow has
shown considerable inventive
genius in constructing her violins,
successfully experimenting with
the native redwood as a base bar,
and will use more of that wood in
her next violin.

Thread made from the SPIDERS
web is lighter and stronger than
that which comes from the silk
worm. In France there is a fac
tory devoted to the manufacture
of spider thread. The spiders are
arranged in dozens before a reel,
which withdraws the delicate
threads, each spider yielding from
20 to 40 yards.

less Gunner Is Clever.

With a wind switching like a
6sh's tail, now from the right and
now from the left, one minute
beating the bullet down into the
grass and the next swinging
around to the rear and blowing it
over the target, with changing
lights and a tantalizing mirage in
which the target blurs and dances
and swims like live thing, the
man who keeps on bis target and
runs up a good score must rely Oh
more than native skill and a clear
eye, says Outing. Your guards
man keeps by his side a leather
case, stocked as well as that of a
country surgeon, and he uses ba.
r0meter, thermometer and mi
crometer constantly. Good eye
sight, good nerves with which to
hold a rife immobile and sights
aligned on the bull, are but the
foundations of good shooting.
The expert knows to a nicely the
almost imperceptible pressure Of
the forefnger that will release the
scar notch and launch the bullet
when both brain and finger are
ready. He keeps his rife clean as
his watch and with blackened
sights that battle deceptive side
lights. He uses a peep sight that
is mathematically correct, con-
suits elements and instruments
increasingly, raises his sight a
hairs breadth by a delicate mi
crometer, changes his shot in
inches by moving his wind gauge
a line breadth to one side, brings
to his natural ability to holdhis
sights on the mark the leverage of
his rifle sling-a valuable and
serviceable adjunct officially ig-
nored until this year by the firing
regulations of the regular serv-
ices-and from the written rec
ords of weeks finds the elevation

ton of the range flags and the
hand of the windclock dial, every
change in elevation and wind, the
maker and date of his ammunition,
and the exact location of each
shot on the target. 1t is true that
in the field he would have but his
rifle and ammunition, but the
schooling of the range would un-
dOubtedly help him to bring down
his man where others buried their
shots in the ground or futilely fred
over the heads of the advancing
groups. The rifeman who can
with almost unerring certainty
change his sight or so alter his
hold that a hit in the upper right
hand corner of target more than
half a mile away, will on the next
trial be a bulls-eye, is the man
who can most successfully aid his
comrades on the firing line.
