It frequently happens that the senses of hearing and smell are in part or entirely lost, the soft hones of
the nose eaten into and destroyed causing intense stiifmng and greatly disfiguring the face. While sprays,
washes and wives may give temporary relief, no permanent benefit can be expected from such treatment.
CATARRH IS A CONSTITUTIONAL OR BLOOD DISEASE,

I noticed a prescription for long life the
oilier day, which interested me because
if the well known fids set down and
particularly of an otui-sion of otic of the
best and must approved life preservatives
lor a com Curt able old age.
The first idea advanced was to walk
erect, to keep the spine in a straight line
It was declared lo bo promotive of life
duration, when heart, lungs, livor, kid
ucys were allowed to keep their individ
ual plac, and were not crowded by cui
vature of the spiue. The prcscriptionists
thought the old man or woman always
bad a large trunk, with short limbs, a
straight spiue and an erect walk.
The srcniiJ idea was the habit of
breathing slowly to'briug a supply of
oxygen iuto the lungs. I'eace of mind,
with slow, deep breathing, was advanced
as a sine quo non for lung life.
The cmoliuual individual is the one
who burns the candle at both ends."

life by e'ery exhibition or performance
of excited nature.
The third was act down as a repose id
manner. Kase, lightness, silent move

of old age. Muscular relaxation must
not go or come with fits aud stars; vio
lent gestures, intense emotions, frantic
performances.
Held yourself firm and never forgot
yourself, ia another way of expressing it,
Lastly : Kit but little. The very
aged person is set down as always the
small eater. Dr. Tanner wcut through
forty days on water, and the well pre
served man or woman must uuver be
come a gourmand.
Wbtn the stomach is overloaded and
digestion is overworked like a poor cab
horse, then there must be a breakdown
The digestive organs, to be kept in good
repair, niuit have a regular supply ol
food and uot a gruat lot to work on at
one time. The prescriptionist said th
influences of occupation, of climate, of
location, race and breeding had only an

things here nieutioned.
If I had been given a voice I should
hive said, "Where is nature's great re

Insomnia kills more people than (he

I tell you trouble is net frn to kill
human kind, when sleep comes tu mortals
naturally and easily,
Insanity is generally preceded by inn

I cull to mind a dear old lady wli

kept her up and made her life a pleasure

Man has a nutubur of fixed,
ioned notions about the idea
which are quite apart from
of complexion and dress, writes Carrie
K. Garrett in the Woman's Home Com
panion. The sober truth is that, while
men may seek diversion with the more
showy, flippant type of girl, and are of
ten caught by mere glitter, they have an
ideal far, far above this cheap type which
is imperishable. A ni.in does not picture
a completely limp aud characterless creat
ine ns his soul's ideal, however "sweet."
Yet the woman as she appears in his
dreams is not too clever It is a pleasure
to him to be a little superior to his mate
to be ' looked up to ami, as true
woman desires to "look up," it is clear
that nature's arrangements ill these mat
ters aie not without design. The most
charming woman of all is she who has
consummate wit to seem to "look up"
when really she stands ou a level with
the man who love her, or perchance a
little above him.
due thing imperatively demanded in
the malte-up of the ideal woman is sym
pathythat all divining, all-forgiving
quality which makes the world akin.
Sympathy is one of the prime factors of
charm. So is humor. A man is fear
fully lonesome when his wife cannot see
his jokes. She could not offer him a more
deadly aflrout than to laugh in the wrong
place at his pot stories. The ideal wo"
man is religious has the wise, sweet
old-fashioned notions about right and
wrong. A man is quite capable of mak
ing merry over his wife's scruples uf con
science, but I think he would bo rather
disappointed if she had no scruples if in
his worldly way she was guided chiefly by
experience. He may uot say many
prayet s himself, but he loves to know
that his children pray at their mother's
knee. Perhaps ho sometimes reflects
that the nightly petition from iunocent
lips, "God bless father," may uot be
q-iito empty of moaning.

HUH Hill NOT KNOW.
Twenty years ago, a discouraged young
doctor in one of our large cities was visi
ted by his old father, who came up from
a runil district to look after bis boy.
"Well, son," he said, "how uro you
getting along ?"
"I'm not getting along at all," was the
disheartened answer ' I'm not doing a
thing."
The old man's countenance foil, but
ho spoke of courage and patience and
perseverance. Later in the day, he went
with his son to the 'Free Dispensary,"
where the young doctor had an unsalaried
position, and where lie spent an hour or
more every day.
Tho father sat by a silent, but intense
ly interested, spectator, while twenty five
poor unfortunates received help. The
doctor forgot his visitor while ho bent
his skilled energies to this task; but hard
ly had the door closed on the last pa
tient, when the old man burst forth :
"I thought you told me you were not
doing anything ?'' he thundered. "Not
doing anything! Why, if I had helped
tweuty-tive people in a month as much
as you have in one morning, I would
thank God that my life counted for some
thing." There isn't any money in it, though,"
explained the son, somewhat abashed at
his companion's vehemence.
"Money!" the old man shouted, still
scornfully. "Money! What is money
in comparison with being of use to your
fellow men? Nevermind about money;
you go right along at this work every
day. I'll go back to the farm and glad
ly earn money enough to support you ns
long as I live; yes, and sleep sound every
night, with tho thought that I have
helped you to help'our fellow men.
"That speech," I said to a friend ol
mine, one who has spent many years as a
conspicuously successful teacher, "went
iota the bones of tlu young doctor's life,
and strengthened him for a life of unsel
fish usefulness."
"Ah!" said tho professor, "ihat ore
speech was worth years of text book
teaching! And ytt it was made with
out an instant's preparation"
"Far from it," I answered, quickly.
"It had takou sixty years of noblu living,
struggling against sin and self, pressing
forward in paths ol righloousncss, bear
ing the cross, following hard alter the
Peifeet Man, to prepare that old Chris
tian to make this speech. Then the
moment came, and he was ready to teach
the glorious lesson."

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY
Johnston's Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES.
IANCEIl IN TIIK KAHTH AND AIKf DAM.PIl EVERYWHERE.'
A Wlie aud Venerable Doctor Talks about Advanced Science.
In a jVadintf hotel, in a tfrout city, a famous mid ayed physician was convert
ing. Ltfitrnintf to hi wise and NentmjtimiB discoum1!, wen a group of well
drt-BM'd men, evidently lawyers, luiKinonH men and commercial travelers.
My firm belief, is '"thai medical acietica is certain yet to show that ftH dia
eases without exception are caused by invihible geriuH which are livintf oran
isms. Here is the germ of that terribl disease diphtheria. Hero is the bacillus
of typhoid fever; and here is tho still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which
causes that most destructive of all diseases, coiiKiiniptiou. This of that very
common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh."
"1 wish, Doctor," Hitid the traveling man, "that you would tell us about
catarrh. I have had it for years, and 1 am thoroughly discouraged."
The Doctor answered, "i'utarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid
fever, and a host of other disi-ascM, is the result of a microbe invading the blood
and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disguatiug
disease is especially prevalent iu the United States and it is rare to meet one
who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How often in he or
bhe obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves
of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca
tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to
himself and his friends.
"I believe," continued this great physician, " that the true way to heal ca
tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratives
which act as blood purifiers."
lietsy A. Murett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes:
Dear Sirs: For ten years 1 was a sufferer from general debility and chronic
catarrh. My face was pate as death, I was weak and short of breath. I could
hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My
hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up
In the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had
awful pains in the small of my back. I had a continual feeling of tiredness.
My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a dozen
steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have
a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left mv veins The doc
tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get
ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief.
My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's Sarsaparilla. I took it, and then I
bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved in
health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re
freshing, and it beemed as if 1 could feel new blood moving through my veins. I
kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work
all the time, aud am happy. lam positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life.
The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my c
tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's
Sarsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head
aches to use your Sarsaparilla.

" l see gambling if running wido open
in Colorado aaiu," said a cattleman of
Topeka. "I don't suppose, though, it ia
an wide open now as it was in the late
eighties. I was in Manitou every sum
mer at Ihat time, and the high games
that used to run at some ot the clubs
would be an eye opener to the gamblers
of the present day. Cattlemen were
making money then, as were the miners,
and they used to meet in Manitou and
try for each other's poekelbooks, with
the result that the provisional gamblers
got the money.
''I remember how oue youog fellow was
made to quit a winner against his will

of one of the big reaper men, and his
folks kept him suppl iinuey, a
regular allowance, lie hud been (am

for hotol and livery aud everything else.
His people seut word that they wouldu't
send any more money and said if he got
into trouble ho'd have to get out himself.
His creditors were just about ready to
jump on to him, when one night he made
big winning. He was playing faro in
the club that's torn diwo now. It used
to stand over from tho dep.it and was the
place for high play.
"I suppose he had 81,001) or 85,000
in front of him when his I'rieads began
trying to persuade him to quit, lie was
just like all the ret of them, going to
break the bauk and all that sort ol thing,
aud he wouldu't quit.
"It was a red hot night fur Manitou

Nelation, the great surgeon, said that
if he had but four minutes to perform a
critical operation, on which a life de
pended, ho would take one iniuute to
consider bow to do it best. But where
is the American youth who would speud
twelve years with Michael Angelo, study
ing anatomy, or ten years with Da Vicini,
studying the structure of a horse ? Tht
young artist of to-day would expect in a
quarter of the time to sculpture an Apollo
Belvedore.
We are living in a fast age. We
haven't time to do anything properly.
'JCan't wait" is characteristio of tho
century, and is written oo everything on
commerce, on schools, on ociety, or
churches. We can't wait for a high
school, seminary or college education.
The boy can't wait to become a youth,
nor the youth to become a man. Young
men ru-h into business with no great re
serve of education or drill; of coune,
tbey do poor feverish work and break
down in middle life, and many die of old
age in the forties. Everybody is in a
hurry. Buildings are rushed up so
quickly that they will not stand and
everything is made "to sell."
Religion is often the armor which
somo people put on when thoy want to
make sure of overcoming their enemies.
