Chess Is the finest mental drillmaster

No rrin, nntcl aIrI.

The etiquette of Holland is exceeding
ly strict In all classes. The young girl Is
most carefully chaperOned, and she
never goes anywhere, even TO church,
unless accompanied by her parents,
some male relative or other equally
trusted attendant. At dance the
parents sit round the walls SLIPPING
their coffee or Wine, and the young
men must make the best Of their
chances in the opportunities afforded
by tho dance, for when it pleases the
guardians to depart there is no help
for It, the girls must 20 too. An I'M
married girl always takes the right
arm toc her escort, while the matron
takes the left. perhaps because it Is

LOST AND FOUND.

In England 10 Per CcnS l. the Rec
orsnIzca Reward.
eff you lost watch worth 500 what
reward would you give the finder for
its return?"
ooh, ten or twelve dollars"
Ten per cent. ell? Well, that IS
about right" said the detective. 1T
Is more, though. than the average per-
son would give. Here in America IN
lost and found cases there IS no rec
o=nized percentage of reward but In
England there IS such a percentage,
namely, half crown to pound; that
is to say. about 10 per cent. Ten per
cent Is what the finder must be paid
IN England provided he takes his dnd
to n police station or to Scotland Yard.
He always does so, as otherwise the
owner is apt to give him less than the
legal 10 per cent. I lost in London
cab kit bag worth $50. The kit bag
was returned by the cabby to Scotland
Yard and I left there for him gladly q
reward of 81. If the bag had been
worth $1,000 I'd have been charter of
handing out 5000. but that is what I'd
have to do before the Scotland Yard
folks would have given me my prop
erty. When you lose anything be pre-
pared to give at least 10 per cent to
the finder Ten per cent is the recog-
uized reward in lost and found cases
abroad. and it should be the recognized
reward here. To my mind 1t is little
enough. and they who give less are to
my mind dishonest" -Phnadclph Bull

Are you Suffering
With Catarrh?

The first stage of catarrh is
aused by taking cold. Most peo-
lie pay little attention to a cold.
In a little while case Of catarrh is
the result. Catarrh is a local dis
ase, caused by an Inflammation of
he mucous membrane of the nasal
and other passages. The nasal
passages being most exposed to the
hanges of the weather are the first
become affected. Each cold
AIKEN aggravates the disease, and it
will be noticed that colds are takn
much more easily as the disease pro-
resses. Soon the accumulation of
mucous begins to drop into the
throat, then on down into the lungs,
mpregnating both with the disease.
If proper medicines are applied
there is no reason why catarrh can
OF be cured.
