There is more Catarrh in this section Oh
the country than all other diseases put TO-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease

pronounced it incrrable. Science has p.oven
Catarrh to be q constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment,

The Sweetest Incense.

How I wish I had built an altar
when we started our married life!"
a father said to his pastor recently.
DR.. Norman Mcleod tells Of one
who said the same thing. II shall
never forget the impression made
upon me during the first year of my
ministry by a mechanic whom I had
visited, and on whom I urged the
paramount duty Of family prayers.
One day he entered my study, and
burst into tears as he said, You re-
member my girl, sir? She was my
only child. She died suddenly this
morning. She has gone, I hope, to
God; but if so she can tell Him what
now breaks my heart-that she never
heard a prayer in her fathers house
or from her fathers lips. Oh, that
she were with me but for one day
more!'"
There is no fragrance that sweet
ems a whole house like the incense OF
prayer.

A private letter from a traveller In
France speaks of a poplar tree that
the writer saw in the city Of Dion,
which is the oldest tree of it's kind
in France. 1t is 1872 feet in height,
and is forty-fve feet in circumfer-

has an authentic record Of the his.
tory of the tree, since the year 722,
The people Of Dijon are proud of It,
so much 80 that they not long ago
voted to levy a tax to put a railing
around it, so that it might be pro-
tected from possible injury. 1t Is
good to see sentiment of this kind.

Our Heavenly Father and truest
Friend, who hast so loved and saved
US, the thought of Whom is sweet n
always growing sweeter, come and
dwell in our hearts; then Thou wilt
keep watch on our lips, our deeds,
and we shall not need to be anxious
either for our souls or our bodies.
Give US charity. sweetest of al gittss

our hearts pure love, born of Thy love
to us, that we may love others as
Thou lowest. Loving Father Of Jesus
Christ, from Whom floweth all love,
let our hearts, frozen in sin, cold to
Thee and cold to others, be warmed
by this divine fire. So help and bless
us through Christ, Thy Son.

MARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Coal Miners Life Saved by Dream

Al Dispatch to The Sta

Special Dispatch To The Star.
NEW YORK. March 12.-Joseph Terko-
wiesh. thirty-eght years old. miner
from the anthracite coal fields of western
Pennsylvania. who came here "Wednesday
on his way home to the fatherland, had a
narrow escape from death early yesterday
in the Pearl Hotel, i,5 Pearl street. His
life was saved by a dream.
The fear of deadly fire damp. of which
he knew SO much. was reused in his SUBJ
conscious mind by the danger in which
he was placed. When he went to bed
Wednesday night he turned on the gas,
properly as he thought, but there was no
stop on the gas fixtures. and he turned the
cock too far around after putting out the
light, so that the gas could escape.
About 4 o'clock he dreamed he was in
a mine where there was an explosion. a nd
that the fire damp was coming in fast to
the place where he was. He thought he
was partly overcome by il and made a
violent effort to get to the cage and fell
| heavily on the floor.
The noise that he made when he hit the
floor warned Mrs Ferdinand Nurge, who
runs the house. and she went 10 invest-
gate. She smelled gas and found Terko-
Wl@Sch lying on the floor gaspinS.
Having thoughtfully turned off the gas
to keep too much gas from going through
the meter. she called a policeman and
tried artificial respiration on the lodger.
Dr. Lamont of the Hudson Street Hospital
was summoned by the policeman and
after working Terkowiesch for some
time he thought he could gel him in shape
