curls In addition to the ordinary head that
the new hats, to be really becoming. must
be fitted to the head of each Individual,

Homemade Catarrh Cure.

best remedy of its kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the follow
Ing prescription, it is supposed, be-
cause Of its promptness in driving from
the blood and system every vestige Of
catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease, no matter where located.
10 prepare the mixture: Get from any
good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one ounce Com
pound Kargon and three ounces Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime.
This is harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain from
the blood and system all catarrhal
poisons, which, if not eradicated, are
absorbed by the mucous membrane,
and an open sore or catarrh is the re-
suit.
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh spe-
cialist of national reputation.

searn1is Attnck n Man,

A Danish sailor has had a narrow
escape from meeting death from a
flock of seagulls. His ship. the Elan
dria, from Cronstadt to Copenhage,
was within fifty miles of her destina-
ton when he was washed overheard
by a heavy sea. He was a powerful
swimmer and, divesting himself Of his
clothing, prepared to make a stout bat
tie for life.
No sooner, however, had the man got
clear of his garments than a great flock
of seagulls gathered around and began
a fierce attack upon the intruder into
their quiet domain, whom they pecked
at remorselessly with their beaks. For
six hours the man contrived to keep
himself afloat, warding of his perse-
cutors as best he could, one or two
ships passing without noticing him.
When at last a Russian steamer, the
Elisa, took him on board his strength
was utterly exhausted.
