that each is made from different

that they are made from different

hosea Of Great Men.

Prominent noses seem to have been
the property of many great men. Ly-
curgus and Scion had noses six inches
In length, and Ovid was surnamed
Naso on account Of his large nose.
Scipio Nasfca derived his mans from
his prominent oIfactory organ, and
Alexander the Great and Cardinals
Wolsey and Richelieu all had large
noses. On the medals of Cyrus and
Artaxerxes their noses came clear out
to the rim of the coin. Washington's
was the true aquiline type, indicative
Of frmness and patience, IS was the
nose Of julius Caesar. Mohammed had
a singular nose. It was SO curved that
a writer has told us that the point of it
seemed continually striving to insert
itself between his lips. The noses Of
Franklin, Shakespeare and DR.. john
son all had wide nostrils, betokening
strength and love Of thought. The nose
of Napoleon was exquisitely though
firmly chiseled. He often said, "Give
me man with plenty Of nose" Fred
:erick the Great had so large a nose
that Lavater offered to wager that
s.blindfolded he could tell It among 10,-
600 by merely taking it between his
thumb and forefnger.

Odd Occurrence In the Hunting Field
On the afternoon of Feb. 8, 1874, the
hounds Of his grace the Duke Of Beau

q long one, and they knew that the fox
was almost spent. Suddenly the scent
turned abruptly from the open, leading
straight into the garden Of cottage in
the little village of Castle Coombe.
Those who were following wondered
what had happened and were more as
tonished still to see the entire pack,
without checking for an instant, dash
through the open door into the little
room. A shriu scream was heard, and
when the whipper In threw himself
from his horse and gained the thresh-

Exorhftant Premiums.

''What would you think Of 90 per
cent premium" said an insurance
agent. "a premium Of $4,000 on a
100000 policy. Hardly worth taking
out, eh?'' Such policy was once taken
out, though, on a ship thought to be
lost. It is common thing on overdue
ships to take out policies at 80 or IS or
90 per cent. On the Bulgaria and the
Croft in 1899 policies at 80 per cent
were taken out, and on the Adelaide
Mary, even after two of her lifeboats
had been picked up, policy Of 81 per
cent was issued.

GIVES A SIMPLE HOME
MIXTURE FOR CATARRH
Noted Authority, Tells How to Pre-
vent and Relieve Catarrh..-Home-
Made Remedy.

Unless all signs fail, this will
prove a hard season for those
who are subject to catarrhal
disease.
The coming months will be a
harvest for the doctors and
patent medicine manufacturers
unless great care is taken to
dress warm and keep the feet
dry.
This is the advice of a we'll.
known authority and should be
needed by all who are subject to
rheumatism, kidney and bladder
troubles and especially catarrh.
While the latter is considered by
most sufferers an incurable
disease, there are few men or
women who will fail to expert
ence great relief from the follow
ing simple home prescription,
and if taken in time it will pre-
vent an attack of catarrh during
the entire season.
Here is the prescription which
any one can mix. Fluid Extract
Dandelion one-half ounce, Com
pound Kargon one ounce, Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces. Shake we'll in bottle
and use in teaspoenful doses
after each meal and again at bed.
time.
These are mostly vegetable in.
gradients and can be obtained
from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost.
The Compound Kargon in this
prescription acts directly upon
the eliminative tissues of the
kidneys to make them filter and
strain from the blood, the
poisons that produce all forms
of catarrhal affections. Relief is
often felt even after the first few
doses and it is seldom that the
sufferer ever experiences a re.
turn attack within the year.
This prescription makes a
splendid remedy for all blood
disorders and such symptoms as
lame back, bladder weaknesses
and rheumatism pains are en-
tirely dispelled.
AS this valuable prescription
comes from thoroughly reliable
source, it should be needed by
every afflicted reader.

The Fly That Buzzed For Mendelssohn

over them, and Mendelssohn was anx-

overture had been completed the artist

that's the fly that :buzzed past us at

three points. In the order in which be

penalty for an illegal forward pass, 50
that the side making it, instead OF losing
the ball, gets a penalty Of fifteen yards on
the first and second downs, but retains

have TWO umpires. one Of whom is 10
