Arms and Limbs.

My arms and limbs are so tired' sighed an ultra precise young woman the other day after rather strenuous gymnasium stunts
 One of her associates whispered, "That isn't logical way to talk. Don't say arms and limbs,' if any imbs are limbs they are all limbs and you would like to distinguish be- tween legs and arms and yet talk in arboreal language I would suggest that you call your arms your branches and your legs your roots!
 Needless to say, the first speaker was not pleased with the badinage.

CATARRH 4 SYSTEMIC BLOOD DISEASE

Catarrh is not merely an affection of the mucous membranes; it is a deep-seated blood disease in which the entire circulation and greater part of the system are involved. It is more commonly manifested iu the. head, nose and throat, because of the sensi- tive nature of these membranes, and also because they are more easily reached by irritating influences from the outside. The symptoms of Ca- tarrh, such as tight feeling in the head, nose stopped up, throat clogged and dry, hacking cough, etc, show that the tiny blood vessels of the nut cous membranes are badly congested and inhamed from the impurities in the circulation. To cure Catarrh per- manently the blood must be purified and the system cleansed of all un- healthy matter. Nothing equals s. S. s. for this purpose. It attacks

You are to know there is night as
well as day fishing for a trout; and
that In the night the best trouts come
out of their holds. And the manner of
taking them is on the top of the water
with a great lob or garden worm, or
rather two, which you are to fish with
In stream where the waters run
somewhat quietly, for in a stream the
bait will not be so we'll discerned. I
say in quiet or dead place, near to
some swift there draw your bait over
the top of the water, to and fro. and
II there be a good trout in the hole,
he will take it, especially If the night
be dark for then he is bold, and lies
near the top of the water, watching
the motion of any frog or water rat,
or mouse, that swims betwixt him and
the sky; these he hunts after II he
sees the water but wrinkle or move in
one of these dead holes, where these
grea4 old trouts usually lie near to
their holds for you are to note that
the greet old trout is both subtle and
fearful, and lies close all day, and does
not usually stir out of his hold, but lies
in It as close in the day as the timor-
GUS hare does in her form; for the
chief feeding of either is seldom in the
day, but usually in the night, and then
