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 In

nounced tia local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be constitution

treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured

The Desire to Accommodate.

There is nothing people appreciate
more than being served by those who
really enjoy accommodating them.
What a comfort, at strange hotel,
especially to be served by those who
seem anxious to please us, who seem
60 take real pleasure in making us feel
at home and comfortable. There is no
one quality which will help youth
along more rapidly than the cultiva-
ton of this desire to please, to accom-
modate. 1t appeals to everybody, it
creates good impression.
A surly, impudent Pullman porter
often destroys the pleasure Of a whole
journey on a train. An impudent
clerk in hotel Office can make every
body in the house uncomfortable, and
such service is dear even if it could
be had for nothing.
It is noticeable that boy who al
ways tries to help wherever he can
and to make everybody comfortable,
who is accommodating in everything,
is very popular and, other things be-
ing equal, most likely to be promoted

eermany,s Future Empress.

Every one says that the crown prin-
cess is charming and amiable and If
the stories told of her be true "die
kleine Cecile" has plenty of sense
and shrewdness and pretty wit Of
her own Even as a small child she
was not easily overawed and many
were the pranks her high spirit led
her into. Once she was naughty
enough to be sent to bed, when her
worthy pastor paid her a visit and
lectured her on her sins. The little
culprit listened with apparent meek
ness for time, then saying, "But
can you do this?" she put an end to
the lecture by turning a dexterous
somersault under the reverend gen.
tleman's nose. A pickle and tomboy
she certainly was, but the servants in
her old home all adored her, and those
of them who were too old to retain
their posts owed much Of the bright
ness of their lives to the visits and
attentions she paid them.

Chimney to the Clouds.

New York is soon to have the odd
est amusement enterprise on the face
OF the earth, in the shape of tower
taller than any structure in the world
and equipped with larger variety OF
combined entertainments and utili-
ties than anything that has ever ex-
listed for the edifcation Of the mil
lions who are constantly and hungrily
seeking new pleasures.
Called "the Weber tower" after its
designer, Carl Weber, one of the best
known experts in the matter of tall
steel-concrete constructions, the build
ing will be unique in many ways, and
when it has been erected, either in
one of the parks Of Manhattan or in
some equally prominent spot, will un-
questionably be one Of the foremost
attractions of the metropolis.
In the first place it will reach the
enormous height of 1 ,250 feet, just 25S
feet taller than the Eiffel tower In
Paris and more than twice as tall as
the Washington monument, which,
win OOo ACSts 10 AZ plCnChb SAC AA6hSoS
permanent structure in the world 1t
will so far overtop everything in New
York that comparison is idle, the Park
Row building, which now holds pre-
eminence, being only 3S2 feet high,
and the st. Paul building, ranking
second, having but 3OS feet. In Eu-
rope, after the Eiffel tower, there Is
only the Ulm cathedral, with 52S feet,
but this is excelled by the city hall
in Philadelphia.
Height alone, however, will not be
the chief recommendation of the
Weber tower. 1t will be sky scraper
of universal invitation. If you are a
business man you will be able to rent
offices inside the lean but lofty
stretches. If you want an evenings
frolic you will be escorted to the
highest roof garden in the world,
1,100 feet above the sidewalk, which
Is so high that every other roof gar
den will look like pigmy patch OF
light without form or substance. II
you are an astronomer you will find
all the paraphernalia for the study
of the heavens at such close range
that you will hardly need a telescope.
And above all there will be the neces-
sary precautions to prevent you jump
ing off if you are one of those persons
who get that impulse whenever they
reach the top of high place.

''In time nervous symptoms devel-
oped, with pains in the cardiac region,
and accompanied by great depression
of spirits, despondency-in brief, "the

but got no relief and at last realized
that all my troubles were caused by
coffee. I thereupon quit it's use forth

Tea.
1.-THE tea seemed to help me at first,
but In time the old distressing symp-
to1ls returned, and l quit it also, and
tried to use nilk for my table bev-
erage. This / was compelled however
to abandon speedily, for, while it re-
lieved the nervousness somewhat. it
brought on constipation. Then by a
happy inspiration l was led to try tks
Postum Food Coffee. This was some
months ago and l still use it. am
no longer nervous, nor do l suffer
