There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all othe-diseaees put 'together, and until the last few years was supposed to be Incurable.' For great many years doctors pronounced local disease, ' and prescribed local remedies, and bv constantly failing to eure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and there fore requires constitutional treatment Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by F. 3.

Sirius, the dog-Star, which is the brightest to our eyes of all the fixed stars, has a very remarkable companion, never visible except with powerful tele scopes. It was first seen in 1862, and in 1890 it disappeared, the reason of its . disappearnce being that it had moved so close to Sinus as to be lost to view in the overpowering light of-that great star. During the time of its. visibility the fact had been ascertained that it was revolving about Sirius at a rate which would carry it completely around in some 50 years. The shape of its orbit, which is an ellipse with Sirius situated in one of the foci, being calculated, as tronomers felt certain that in a few years the vanished star would reappear as it moved into a part of its orbit more distant from Sirius. This expectation has now been fulfilled, for recently the missing; star was seen again at the fllagstaff observatory in Arizona. Al though it is probably belf as large as Sirius, it is butone-ten-thousandth part as luminous as that star. Youth s Companion. Students of history are inclined to believe, from the commonness of the dragon tradition in almost every coiin try, . that a serpent-like animal with feet probably once existed. Signs of .Longevity. The primary conditions of longevity are that the, heart, lungs and digestive organs, as well as the brain, should be large. ' If these organs are large, the trunk will be long and the limbs com paratively short. The person will ap pear tall in sitting and short in. stand ing. The hand will have a long and somewhatbeavy palm and short fingers. The brain will be deeply seated,' as shown by the orifice of the ear being low. The blue hazel or brown hazel eye is a favorable indication. The nos trils being large, open, and free, indi cates large lungs. A pinched and half . closed nostril indicates small or weak iungs.r San Francisco Argonaut. Pattl Fear Burglars. Burglars are the great terror of Mme.

Captured by Xnanrgenta: - Havava, March 24. The insurgents have captured Holguin, in Santiago de Cuba. The town is a very important one, and the news of its loss has cast great gloom oyer official circles. It is re ported that ' the victorious insurgent forces were those under the command of Calixto Garcia, who has been operating with great vigor in Eastern Cuba. ' If asked the question "Have you got a stomach?" it would be safe on general principles, to answer "Yes." But, if you are sure of it, that is, if you ever feel any distress after eating or any pains of whatever description in the region of the stomach, you have got something else besides an ordinary stomach : in other words you have got a diseased stomach. The stomach is a powerful muscle, and the proper remedy for a tired muscle is rest. Try the Shak er Digestive Cordial, for this product not only contains digested food, which will nourish the system without any work on the part of the diseased organs, but it aids the digestion ot other foods as well: "You can test its value in your case for the trifling sum of 10 cents.

Portland Orego n It is time that the truth about these accidents in the anthracite mining re gions should be told. Year after year they have been occurring with appalling regularity. The list ol tne dead ana crippled, the widowed and the orphaned, grows from month to montn, while tne public,, intent upon its own pursuits, learns but little about it until some frightful accident like that which lately triunced the town of Pittston into) mourning' concentrates attention upon it, and then there is a universal. outcry. It is felt instinctively that there must be something: wrong" with the condi tions under which the mining of coal is carried on when disasters of that kind can. occur in a state which has wise laws regulating both the ventila tion of mines and the conditions under which the coal itself can be taken out. But what is the evil and what the rem edy ? Common sense as well as common humanity prompts the discovery of the one and the application of the remedy. The law under which the present system of inspection is carried on has1 worked many reforms. It has done away with many of the -evils which operated so disasterously in the early days of anthra0itemining. It has given to one of the hardest working classes of labor in the state comparatively pure air where previously no one could breathe any but vitiated atmosphere It has done even .more than this, im portant as this achievement has been Lnder its provisions no shaft, slope or other mine can be worked without hav ing at least two avenues of exit the usual entrance and the air shaft, the latter- for use in case of disaster in gangways near the' mouth of the mine, Nor do its benefactions stop even here, Inspectors authorized by law to inf orce the law's provisions are regularly ap pointed and paid to do nothing else, How, then, does it come that even after it is in operation there can -be such a disaster as that which recently horri fied every resident of Pennsylvania? The answer to this question has al ready been hinted at in these columns. When a mine is opened all the coal in the veins' is not token out. Portions of it, which are called pillars, are left stand ing to support the tremendous weight of the ground above. As mining be comes more expensive, however, and the supply of coal dwindles, the owners fre quently order the "robbing of the pil lars" that is, the removal of the nat ural supports whioh were originally left standing. They know from pas experience that this is a dangerous pro ceeding. Thousands of victims lie in premature graves as the result of its adoption. But competition is fierce and to compete successfully some chances must be taken. So one by one the pillars come down, until few, if any, remain to support the mountains of earth above. Hough timbers placed at irregular dis tances apart are expected to uphoid what in the wfse provision of nature solid masses of coal had held in place an absurd proposition npon its free. Once the mine starts to "work," as we have frequently seen, the number of the dead is to be reckoned usually by the number of men employed at the time the crash occurs. ' . So much for the primary cause. The secondary cause is that which grows out of a faulty system of inspection. The average cave-in does not occur in a day or'a night. If ature, as if to display her kindness to those who have rudely Dieroed her heart, gives repeated warn ings before she asserts her mastery. There are ominous sounds throughout the gangways and breasts. The timbers creak and groan under their increasing weight. The rats desert the dangerous places before the timbers give way al together. These indications of the strain are often perceptible for weeks beforehand, and then the duty of the in spector is to intervene. If he performs his duty with an "eye single to the pur pose for which his office was created he will either compel the owner of the mine to make it safe or empty it of those whose lives are imperiled. If he is the creature of the operators, as some of the inspectors are said to be, he may be indifferent to the condition of the mines or willing that operations shall be carried on 'after they are unsafe. His reappointment depends upon his ability to please the . owners of the mines, . not the men whose lives he is supposed to guard. There are districts in the state in which the corporation operating the colleries dictate the nom ination of every inspector. Philadel phia Inquirer. , - Fish In Deep Water. A highly original observation upon the behavior of fish in deep water, so remarkable as to deserve special no tice, is attributed to a long-experi enced captain of a steam-fishing smack. The fishing boats belonging to the southern portions of the North sea found in their catch lately a dispro portionately small quantity of cod fish.. The captain maintained that he had ' foreseen this for eight days, be cause most of the fish caught had sand in their stomachs. He claims to have observed that, just before the fish left the shallow- water of the southern banks, they took sand into their stom achs, and soon after fish caught in deeper northern waters showed the same peculiarity. Then, when Jlie time for migrating from the deep waters comes again, the fish dispose of the sand. The theory has been advanced that the sand is taken in as ballast, and is rejected when shallow water is to be returned to. The sand often differs in color and grain from ihat of the bot tom where the fish are found. It is claimed that this sand may supply a guide for the fishermen. N. Y.Ledger.
