CATARRH
Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
With. It is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simnle inflammation of the nose and
throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it
Very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison tbrougn

Consumption of Gold and B.lverlatbe
Arta aad Manufacture.
Tho director of the mint at Washing
ton has for many yours made au esti
mate of tho amount of gold and silver
consumed In thta country lu our Indus
trial 'arta and manufactures, which
estimate haB been based upou tho bul
lion supplied by tho mints und assay
olllces, as well as tho ligurca from
private rctluerles and manufacturers to
whom Inquiry has been scut on this
subject. For tbo last decade, however,
experts have seriously questioned the
estimates of the coin in circulation and
coin consumed lu the arts, as made by
tho bureau of the mint on these ligures
and on the table based ou au elaborate
Investigation made in 1885. To remove
nil doubts ou this subject und to accu
rately detcrinlno the comsumptiou of
gold and silver, both bars and coin, In
the Industrial arts lu tho United Stated,
the director of the mint, Inst December,
sent circulars to jewelers throughout
the couutry, asking as a favor that tho
jewelers fill out the blauk showing tho
amount of coin or bars, gold or stiver,
which they consumed either In their
repair work or In manufacturing. Tho
returns from these inquiries, though
by uo means complete, served to mako
much more accurate tho figures on tho
consumption of gold and silver lu tho
last report of the. director of tho mint,
and an effort wlll.now bo mado to ob
tain even fuller returns for the next re
port With this object In view a circular
and blank, similar to that sent out last
year, will bo Issued to "all manufact
urers using gold or silver, as well as to
all Jewelers, Including thoso who do
even the smallest of repair work, with
the request that the recipients fill In tho
figures required. In doing this the jew
eler mny feel suro that his llguVcs will
never bo used except In making a
grand total and will be held strictly
confidential by tbo treasury depart
ment Among tho reasons which It Is
believed caused persons In tho pnst to
hesltato In answering theso Inquiries
was the fear that they had, lu using up
coin, Inadvertently violated n statute
and that nn admission of this fact
might bo used ngaltmt them. Such n
fenr, however, Is absolutely without
foundation, as there Is uo contention
that tho uso of gold coin In manufact
ures Is contrary to law.
Tho only object In asking for the In
formation Is to enable tho treasury de
partment to estimate as accurately as
possible the money now on hand by de
termining tho amount of United States
coin lost annually by being melted up
for manufacturing purposes. It Is not
claimed that any manufacturer Is re
quired by law to glvo tho Information,
but as there Is no reason why ho
should not aud every reason why ho
should, for tho benefit of nil It Is confi
dently hoped that the responses from
tho Jewelry trade tottho department's
now circular, will be as completo and
satisfactory as tho authorities of tho
mint can desire.
HOW MEN MAY WALK WELL.
There Ta nn Art In the Kxerclse tba
Hhoulil Not lie Overlooked.
Theso suggestions for tho benefit of
pedestrians aro made by n writer on
hygienic matters: Not every man can
be a good walker. Thero Is no better
exercise. Even slouchy walking Is
good, but It Is cnBy to drop tho slouch
part and mako tho every day walking
ono of the best of health helpers.
Every normal man does miles of walk
ing each day, regardless of cars nnd
carriages. Let him mako his walking
a llttlo tnoro careful, a llttlo more
thoughtful. No uecd to tako an extra
step unless tho delight of It Inspires the
oflort. Walk with tho head up, chin
down, shoulders back, abdominal mus
cles tenso nnd ending each step with
a too tip. "Too out" slightly, bend
knees without a wabbly motion and
avoid pounding tho pavement with
heels.
Carry bead and shoulders steady
without any sldo swaying. If unused
to such effort It will require much
thought nt first to keep from lapsing
Into careless ways. After a few trials
the ease, comfort and Inspiration of
such walk will encourage persistence.
Breatbo deeply, slowly and through the
nose. Walk when you can, bearing lu
mind that perhaps "ho who rides lu a
cnrrlage rides toward his grave." Do
not sit hunched up at a desk or a table.
Hold tho upper body as lu walking,
Bend nt tlio hips and at tho neck when
necessary, but never hump tho back
and shoulders. Give the lungs room,
keep them filled with new air and do
not let tho buck bono curvo either to
the right or to tho left Sleeping on
tho right side Is best. On the back Is
the snoring position. Tako plenty of
sleep; to rest in bed Is the best of nerve
tonics. Worries aro sleep Bearers.
Tit fur Tat.
Ilere Is a good story they are telling
In Europe about the German emperor:
Tho kaiser, at a recent review In Ber
lin, reprimanded old General von Meer
Scheldt for losing his mind at a critical
momeut "If your majesty thtnks that
I am getting too old, I beg of you to
allow mo to reslgu." "No, no," replied
the kaiser, "you are too young to re
sign. Indeed, If your blood didn't
course through your veins quite so fast
you would be a more useful army lead
er." On the evening of that day the
kaiser and the general met at a court
ball. The. general was talking to some
young ladles. "Ah, Meerscheldt," cried
William, "that is right; get reao to
marry. Take a young wife, then that
excitable temperament of yours will
soon vanish." The geueral bowed low
as he retorted; "I beg to be excused,
your majesty! A young emperor and
a young wife would be more than I
could possible stand." Philadelphia

HARRIS AT HEAD.
Sketch of the New President of the
C. a & Q. y.
Charles E. Perkins recently resigned
as president of the Chicago, Burling-
ton nud Qulucy Railroad Company, nnd
Georgo B. Harris, second vice-president
of the company, was elected to
tho place.
Tho new president, Georgo B. Har
ris, Is considered one of tho most effi
cient railway managers of the couutry.
For the Inst ten yenrs the active man
agement of tho Burlington has fallen
to him. Ho was born in 1848 nt Brook
Hue, Maps., and entered tho railroad
service on the Hannibal and St. Joe
road In 1800 ns ollleo boy. Later ho
became paymaster of that rond nnd
then went to work on the Burlington
nnd Missouri River rond, now part of
tho Chicago, Burlington nnd Qulncy
Railroad, as clerk In the land ofllcc, un-
dcr his father, who was then Land
Commissioner.
Subsequently ho hold tho following
olllces successively:
Purchasing agent of the Burlington
and Missouri River In Ncbraskn at
Omaha.
Superintendent of tho Atchison nnd
Nebraska at Atchison, Kan,
Assistant general freight agent of
tho Burlington nnd Missouri River at
Omaha.
General freight agent of tho same
road.
Purchasing agent of the Chicago,
Burlington aud Qulncy at Chicago.
In 1883 ho went to Topcka as assist
ant to the general manager, A. A. Rob
inson, of the Atchison, Topeka nnd
Santa Fe, while In 1884 ho took chargo
of the Chicago, Burlington nnd North
em Railroad, then In process of con
struction, with headquarters nt St.
Paul. He held that position until tho
road was sold to tho Chicago, Burling
ton and Qulncy Railroad Company In
1870, when ho camo to Chicago nnd
assumed the position of second vice
president nnd chief executive officer of
tho Chicago, Burlington and Qulucy
system.

MONEY OF EVERY VARIETY.
There Ta Currency of AM Port In Cir
culation nt Waelilnjtton.
A gentleman from the far west stop
ping nt one of tho uptown hotels says
tho Washington Stnr, handed n $100
noto to tho cashier this morning lu
liquidation of his bill, and received back
ten crisp, new fO bills, which had never
bcon even creased, nnd were fresh
from their original package, ns pinned
together In the treasury. From repent
ed handling tho 1100 bill looked moro
llko n piece of dirty, blnck, wntcrsoak
ed paper than tho real thing.
"That's nlco money," ho said to the
cashier. "Where I come from some
peoplo might look nsknucu nt It beforo
acceptance, ns It nppcars too new nnd
too much llko whnt they might consider
counterfeit In Chicago, In n restaur
ant, I once offered a brand-now bill of
largo denomination, fresh from the
treasury, nnd It was refused by the
cashier, who hnd her 'suspicions' of
Its genuineness fact I nsstiro you, on
my honor. However, wo never see nny
of these fresh, crisp, now bills out In
the far west, southwest nnd In tho far
south. Whenever I como to Washing
ton I always tako nwny with mo ns
much of this nlco clean money ns I can
carry. I consider It a duty I owo to the
public nt largo to cutiso Its dissemina
tion. Here, I understand, the residents
fall to notice tho money they handle,
hnvlug becomo accustomed to seeing
It"
"Thnt's true," said tho cashier
"Washington Is tho great currency
clearing-house for the entire tuition, m
well as tho central point of Ihsuo of
money. At this hotel wo send dally to
tho treasury u certain sum, which Is ex
changed for brand-new money, nud 1
pnsa It out to our guests, taking their
old bills instead. Guests are much
pleased as n rulo to receive It; they
carry It away to nil quarters of the
couutry, It enters Into general circula
tion nnd costs us nothing for our
trouble It Is n good prnctlco and one
which could bo emulated. It Is nn act
ual privilege to handlo this clean
money, which nil Wnshluglonlans en
Joy, but which they do not lake Into
account by reason of their fin lurlty
wlth It. Tho government pays hh em
ployes semimonthly In hills fresh from
the treasury, which quickly find their
way Into general circulation Ip the city
and Indirectly outside of Washington."

"Tell me, Captain Slgsbee, what was

mind when you heard tho explosion

"It seems out of place to say It," he

BRITISH ELECTIONEERING.
What It Costa a Cnn HJnte to tlecotna
a Member of Parliament.
To tho worried London voter, unit
ing lu two minds, it mny be n consola
tion to know thnt, If thero happens to
be n contest In his constituency, ho
will have cost each of two candidates
the sum of 0 pence.
Thnt is tho election agent's estlmato
of the expense of a metropolitan or a
borough election. In the country tho
expense will be much moro than that.
There, where miles of hedgerow nnd
stubble stand In place of n trip on top
of nn omnibus, an election ngent js al
lowed nbout 200 or 300 for traveling
expensqs, nnd tho bhiuo claim Is per
mitted to subagents und to the candi
date himself. Thnt Ib one of tho Items
which make a provincial vote an ex
pensive commodity.
In both town nnd country tho ex
pense to n candidate depends on tho
size of the constituency ho proposes to
capture. For nn overage-sized consti
tuency of, say, 8,000 votes, the candi
date Is allowed 300 In expenses. Tho
limit of London's largest constituency
Is nbout 1,400. In addition, tho can
dlduto cnn spend, without saying why,
the sum of 100 ou personal expenses,
nnd the agent's bill amounts to about
170 or 200.
Tnko It nil together, n borough can
didate mny spend 1,000 on nn election,
und n country cnudtdnto half ns much
again.
Whnt tho cnndldnto of his agent may
not spend is pcrhnpa more Important
than what ho may. A ennvnsser who
wants to cast his vote nnd wishes to
shnro n cnb with a fellow-voter has to
be lu n position to swear that each oc
cupant of tho vchlclo has sepcrntcly
and Bevernlly pnld IiIh own shnro lu tho
fare. If n ennvnsser treats n friend to
a drink nnd the friend hns n vote In tho
constituency, the oppnslto party can
