Beware of Ointments for Ca
tarrh that Contain Mercurv.

AS mercury will surely destroy the sense
Of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering il through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except On prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten fold to the good YOU
can possibly derive from them. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney x Co., Toledo, O., contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur.
faces OF the system. In buying Halls

There are more firemen killed and
injured in the performance of their du-
ties in New York city than in any other
city in the world.
If all the Bell telephones made each

THE LANGUAGE" OF ANIMALS.
Various Cries and Calls Not the Me-
dlum Of Communication.

Huxley thought that because OF he
absence of language the brutes can
have no trains of thoughts, but only
trains of feeling. and this is the opin-
ion OF most comparative psychologists.
am myself quite ready to admit that
the lower animals come as near to
reasoning as they come to having a
language. Their various cries and
calis-the call to the mate, of alarm.
OF pain, OF joy--do serve as the me-
alum OF some sort OF communication.
but they do not stand for ideas or
mental concepts any more than the
various cries of a child do. They are
the result of simple reactions to out
ward objects or to inward wants. and
40 not imply any mental process what
ever. a grown person may utter a
cry OF pain or fear or pleasure with a
mind utterly blank of any ideas. Once
on moonlight night lay in wait for
some boy poachers in my vineyard.
AS l suddenly rose up, clad in a long
black coat. and rushed for one and
seized his leg as he was Fastening
over the fence. he uttered a wild. agon-
lied scream precisely as wild ami
nal does when suddenly seized. He
told me afterward he was simply
frightened out of his wits. For the
moment he was simply an unreasoning
animal.-John Burroughs. In Outing
Magazine.

No Contest Can Exist.
PHILADELPHIA Press.l
party.

A difference of opinion between the
House and the President as to whether
two or four battleships should be built
should not and cannot be magnifed into
contest between Republican Presi-
dent and Republican House.
No Representative can afford to return
to his district in an attitude of antagon-
ism to the President and his policy. Such
position would be neither right nor
expedient, neither patriotic nor good
politics.
The Republican party in the coming
campaign will stand for the Roosevelt
policies. The people approve them. The
voters support the President. He has
their confidence. They will choose 4
Republican President next November
because they desire to see the work be-
gun by President Roosevelt continued on
wise, conservative and farsighted lines.
No Representative can afford to take
any other ground or position, now or in
his canvass next Fall, and the Republi-
can majority in the House, while it NAV
differ in details. cannot permit itself to
be put in the position before the voters
of opposing the President and his poll
cies. The one Democratic hope is to
deceive voters into believing that this
has taken place. The Republican major
ity in the House can furnish no aid to
these Democratic campaign plans.
