WHAT is COLD in the head !? Nothing to
worry about if you treat it with Elys Crsam
Balm as soon as you begin to sneeze and
shuttle. Neglected, the cold may grow into
catarrh, and the air-passages be SO infamed
that you have to fight for every breath. 1t
is true that Ely's Cream Balm cures catarrh,
promptly and certainly. But you know the
old saw about the ounce of prevention.
Therefore use Cream Balm when the cold in
the head shows Itself. All druggists, Soc, or

MISTAKES

of a celebrated man who had begun practice as
a legal practitioner, but had been diverted
from it by his love of letters The proof
readers were careless, and the article appeared
IN the morning as follows. He began life
as legal politician, but was diverted from it
by his love for bitters''
All errors of the press have not been free
from malice, however, and when a man named
Hughes who was exceedingly unpopular and
not over-intelligent, was married to a woman a
little his inferior intellectually it was an oppor-
tunity not to be resisted by the boys in the
printing In those days it was custom
airy to send marriage notices to all the papers
and to tack on a few lines of sentimental verse
at the end. Accordingly. Hughes selected
the following line from one of the poets
and sent it along with his wedding-notice:
When heart meets heart reciprocally soft"
The following day when the paper came out
the line read when head meets head re-
ciprocally soft -
An edition OF the Roman Catholic Missal
was printed in France, in which the accidental
substitution of the letter U for A changed the
sense of the text entirely and gave the sentence
ludicrous meaning. The blunder changed
the word caiOhe Gan ecclesiastical cap), into
cnLotte, which means a mans trousers. Strange
ly enough, the error occurred in one of the
directions for the service, where it said
Here the priest shall take off his cnlohe. -

TYPOGRAPHICAL

MISTAKES in punctuation have often led
lN1 to ridiculous blunders, Sometime ago.
in an article telling of the opening of a new
hospital in New York, the writer was made to
state that d" An extensive view is presented
from the fourth story of the Hudson River "
The omission of a comma in a paper an
nouncing the death of famous man made the
sentence read. His remains were committed
to that bourne whence no traveller returns
attended by his friends"
The reputation of DIR Pond, an eminent
theologian, was nearly ruined, back in the
sos by typographical error. A paper came
out with an account telling how the divine
had given a series of lectures in Bangor, Maine,
to the effect that theology was no science and
that there was no truth in it whatever. The
world rose in arms, and the unfortunate Pond
was heaped with abuse as being gross infidel.
In time the paper in which the first account
appeared printed a paragraph acknowledging
that the excitement all caused by typo
graphical mistake, the type-setter having used
the word theology instead of phrenology
A few years ago paper informed the public
that man had been brought before a mags-
trate for having stolen small OK (box) from
a woman's handbag; and Western paper told
of how rat (raft), descending the river came in
contact with a steamboat and, crushing in its
bow, injured several people
Another New York paper intended to tell
