The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh beng
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces OF the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One

On May 10Th. 1910 there passed
away at her home in this city one
whose christian character and many
lovable attributes had endeared her
to all who knew her. Mrs. Alice
Elizabeth Powell was born IN
Palmyra on the 18th. Of Feb. 1853
the daughter Of Aquilla Pierce and
Martha Elizabeth Hyman, although
educated away from home her early
wears were spent in that nelghbor-
hood until her marriage on the day
following her eighteenth birthday
in 1871 to Edgar Emory Powell.
Five children were born to them,
three boys and two girls, four OF
whom are still living, Mr.. Edgar b..
Powell, Mrs. Harriet E. Eure, Miss
Alice H. and Mr.. Aquilla P. Powell.
One son Robert Emmett passed away
as a child and lies beside his mother.
Mrs. Powell was confirmed in Trim
ity church in the year 1900 by Bishop
Cheshire. While not able, owing tc
: her semi-invilid condition for the
past few years, to be active IN any
, large degree, her good works were
many; and her bravery under sickness
=, and sorrow were a shining example
: to all who came in contact with her
: Never failing faith in the love an(

throughout which her courage ant
brightness shone. She passed ava,
surrounded by those whose heart

The following editorial is copied
from the Albemarle Enterprise of
last week, with the hope that it may
be of some benefit to parents just at
this time who have children at home
from school. The Enterprise says:
eve see in one of our exchanges
a note sounded to parents to keep
their boys employed in the summer
when not in school. If parents do
not look after this important matter,
certainly the boys will not. Three or
four months of idleness will destroy
the habits of industry begun in a
boy by his attendance at school. Ii
there is no regular work for hin
that affords change from study
give him easy hours for useful
reading and alternate with work il
the garden or similar household du
ties. Supervise his reading ant
studying and see that it is alonf
right lines. There is much parable
work from his last years course tina
needs to be filled in. Don't let hin
be loafer.''

And Within an Hour the Wind Veered
 and the Shower Game.
 Frances Gostling. author of '@The BritOns at Home," has this curious tale of the dolmen of Rocenaud. with it's curious cup shaped impressions like the constellation PIeiades: An old wo- man, bystander, was asked what the marks were for. Folks say" said she. ''that they were made by the el- bows and knees of St. Rock. He fell down on this stone when he landed from Ireland" And then the old wo- man added We use the holes now when we want the wind to change. We knock in them" The story con- t1nues: Do ask her to knockT 1 cried eagerly. There was a moment of hesi- tatton on the part of the old woman, a half franc shown in a careless way. and What wind would madam like to haVeY Southwest. said 1. looking at the cloudIess sky.

Early Earrinaa.

The earring is not a modern inven- tion, for more than twenty centuries ago the daughter of Aristotle wore golden hoops. The philosophers daugh- ter's earrings were found in her tomb near Chalcis. in Euboea. by exploring archaeologists. and certainly modern workmanship cannot produce their equal. in each golden hoop swung a tiny dove. with precious stones for eyes and bands of minute gems to give the color of the iridescent breast and wings. The feathers were of gran ulated gold. and the tail feathers were so marvelously wrought and adjusted that they acted like a balance, as in q living bird. so that the exquisite minia- ture creatu whenever the wearer moved or laughed or tossed her head would move and balance themselves upon their pendent perches.

Queer Goldfish.

Beautiful and most interesting of all goldfish is native of Japan, and 1t is noted for the beauty of its tail and the abnormal length of its fns.' The tail resembles a delicate veil, and the fins are developed to such an extent that 1t is impossible for the fish to make rapid progress in the water. It is therefore solely on account of it's beauty that 1t Is prized and because in this respect 1t differs widely from other varieties of goldfish, such as the telescope fish," the eyes of which bulge out of the head in most unsightly fashion; the celestial eyed fish," which is also un- comedy because it's eyes are bullet shaped and are ever turned skyward, and the "egg fish," which is so called because its body is somewhat amor phous, but resembles an egg more than anything else. ,.

colora In Poetry.

As to color. Grant Allen maintained in an Essay on the Color Sense" that only eight colors are recognized by the popular mind-black. white. red. blue. green, yellow. gray and brown. Edu- cated people speak of scarlet, crimson, lilac and purple only under exception al circumstaDces. lD a prOsaic hour Grant Allen went through "Poems and Ballads" on the quest for color and found that Swinburne used the word red 151 times. rosy and crimson once each and sanguine, ruddy and scarlet twice each. Gold is mentioned thir- teen times. Blue reaches twenty five And the prosaic conclusion is ito adopt the statistical form, we might say. if we chose to reckon the unreck- Onable. that red is 800 per cent more poeticaI than blue"
