Archie Roosevelt, a son of
the President, is a pupil at a
Quaker school in Washington.
The supposition is that he is
sent there for the spiritual
influence but it is rather
characteristic of the Pres

gymnasium and track.

Then a bicyclist was arrested
for attempting it and now an
ex-ball player of Pennsylvania

so easily is not a sign that
just anything can get up the
Capitol steps.
In all the fashionable cen

The readers of this oaoer will be nlrnipri to
learn that there is at least one dreaded di
sease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cnre is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly up
on the biood and mucous surfaces of the sys
tem; thereby destroying: the foundation of
the disease, and giving; the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting;
nature in doine its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials. Address,

Care of Horses.
Here is what an English
groom who has spent over
twenty years in some of the
finest stables of England has
to say of. the way we treat our
horses in this country: "You
don't take care of horses ;
you t link you do, but you
don't. When a horse comes
in all wet with perspiration
you let him stand in the sta
ble and dry with all the dirt
on. In England we take the
horse as heomes in from a
drive and sprinkle blood
warm water all over him from
his head to his feet. Then we
scrape him down and blanket
him, rubbing his legs and
face. Thus, in an hour he is
clean and dry and ready to
take a good feed,, while your
way he will stand and swelter
for hours and finely . dry
sticky and dirty. Our horses
never founder and never take
cold. "We never use. a curry
comb. You scratch your
horse too hard. The only
care necessary is to have the
water not very cold, then
bathe them quick and blanket
them instantly, while you are
rubbing their legs."

The Weather.
Somewhat agitated by the
strenuousness of the weather
last Tuesday morning", Thom
as Lowdermilk raked the fish
gills and scales from a sheet
ot wrapping paper, and here
is what he wrote: .-.
Our weather prophet tells
us about the heavy snow
storms of 1872-73-74, when
at different times the snow
was 18 inches on a level and
drifted, in places, from 4 to 7
feet. He also states that the
coldest weather was on Janu
ary 6, 1886, thermometer 16
degrees below zero. At State
Hospital the longest cold spell
was January 6 to February
24, 1893, thermpmeteranging
from 5 to 45 degrees. The re
cent cold spell was the worst
weather since those dates. He
also claims that ground hog
day was the 14, and he gives
us the following dates on the
weather : Prom the 24th to
28th of February cold wave
with snow storms. March 9th
to 14th very cold with snow
storms, 25th to 28th cold with
snow storms, April 6th to 8th
cool and frosty, 12th to 20th
warm spring weather follow
ed by heavy frosts, 23d to 25th
May 3d to 12th very cold with
occasional frosts, all early
vegetables should be protect
ed during this period. After
which we will have regular
spring weather.

STARTLING BUT TRUE.
People tha world over were
horrified on learning of the
burning of a Chicago theater
in . which nearly six hundred
peoplelost their lives, but more
than five times this number or
over ,000 people died from
pneumonia in Chicago during
the same year, witb scarcely a
passing notice. Every one of
these cases of pneumonia re
sulted from a cold and could
have been pre vented by the
timely use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. A great many
who had every reason to tear
pneumonia have warded it off
by the prompt use of this rem
edy. The following is an in
stance of this sort: "Too much
cannot be said in favor of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
and especially for colds and
influenza- l Know tnat it
cured my daughter, Laura, of
a severe cold, and I believe
saved her life when she was
threatened with pneuminia"
