CATARRH Catarrh baa 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 simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it Very soon becomes to. The blood ia quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system.

Vast Samx Kxpc tided on Their Decorn tlou ntnl Kuril lulling. The recent sale of Battle Abbey for 200.000-a figure at which the proper ty Is considered utmost ruinously cheap gives some small Idea of the vast sums that may bo expended on one's domicile. Eaton hall, tho Duke of Westminster's Cheshire scat, cost tho late holder of the title considerable over 1,000,000 sterling to build, und probably even this figure would go only n very small way toward purchas ing any one of some scotc of London houses as they stand. Perhaps none of these palaces strike the visitor with n vivid sense of their wealth more than do Spencer house. In Arlington street, and Norfolk liout-e. In St. James' square. Stafford house. St. James' palace the largest of them by far contains probably more money's worth thnn any of the others, but Is not so lavishly decorated. One may discover that for a slnglo sideboard without any history or ago to enhance Its value the sum of 000 may be paid; for n suite to accom pany It another 500; for a carpet for the dining-room, 750; for curtulns for the sntuo room, 12 a yard; on fire place and mantelpiece, 300 may bo laid out; the tapestry and carved pan eling with which to clothe the walls will cost 100 per panel, and the cell ing, If a Whistler or a Sargent deco rates It, will run 'away with 0,000. Altogether, one mny Invest 11.170 on the dining-room one of tho cheapest apartments In the house. The mcro mural decoration In the grand drawing-room will cost more, nnd Its other appointments four or live times as much. Then there will be three or four funaller drawing-rooms, boudoirs, nnd music-rooms to furnish at a pro portionate cost; a mornlug-room or two, which will cost a mere 10,000 apiece; a library, thnt cannot very well bo fur nished In keeping with the rest for less than 12,000, Including books. With regard to the bedrooms, 700 apiece may be paid for some of the suites nnd 100 for the beds. These figures arc by no means fancy prices thnt It would bo difficult to spend. To such a firm us Wu ring's they represent Items that there would bo easily sup plied. London Mall. ATTEMPT THIS TRICK AND HAVE SOME FUN.

'llie new Cortlamlt Telephone Exchaage in New York Is the largest and most elaborate system of the kind la the world. From this center there arc more wires operated than In London and Paris combined. The telephone exchange occupies one of the largest blocks In New York City, with an arcade from Cortlnndt to Dey street! The operating room, which is V-shnped, Is lI'Vi feet wide, with two wings, the west belug 123 feet lung and the east wing 105 feet in length. The gigantic switchboard, which Is the largest one ever constructed, being 250 feet long, carries 840 trunk lines, while the tllHtrihutiug board has a capacity of 20,000 lines. There arc 470,000 swituhes on the switchboard nnd 14,000 Incan descent lamp signals. There are 120 operators continually at the switchboard. They occupy the entire ninth floor, which is fitted up for their especial comfort. There Is a dining room, the company providing them lunch; a rending room, with newspapers and magazines, and each girl Is provided with n separate locker. The s) stem b which this exchange Is operated Is new aUo. There are no bells used. Whca a subscriber takes down the receiver to call u number the exchango Is automatically signaled by the lighting of a small Incandescent lamp. Ten thousjml stations can be operated from this exchange, which has recently been completed at a cost of over $500,000. HI8 PERMANENT TITLE. llrltlnh Nohlciiiun HuriirUcd to l'lnd Irishman Hoitictliliiujof u Knlirht. A little company of men, among them Mark Twain and a few of the most prominent members of the New York bnr, wero sipping their after-dinner coffee at the Lotos Club tho other even ing when Mr. Clemens, who for u few seconds had relapsed luto u reverie, suddenly drew himself together and related the following: "Although I could vouch for the au thenticity of thin story und might men tion names, I feel a little delicate about toying with titled even In this demo cratic assemblage. Therefore when 1 have finished do not consult Burke'a peerage. "A few days ago n scion of the Brit ish aristocracy puld lily Urst visit to Now York. He was accompanied sim ply by his valet, and after transport ing his luggage from the ship engaged u Bulte of rooms at n prominent up town hotel, not above 31th street. As he had simply taken a cursory view of the city from the cab window ho fared forth after u hearty dinner to seo the sights. Iteuchlug Broadway, between -Mth and 23d streets, he mopped to look about him, and us each new feature of the scene struck In upon his attention ho breathed 'Ah!' Still gazing he pro duced a cigar, and searched lu his pockets for a mutch. Finding none he crossed over to the eutrauce of tho Klfth Avenue Hotel, and accosted u red-haired, rather flashily dressed young man: " 'But, me dear man, could I trouble you for a bit of llroi' Tho red-haired Individual produced n match aud po litely offered It to the englishman, who soon was putting his cigar with evident satisfaction. Ia a few minutes ho con tinued the conversation: "'Bah Jove! This Is a wonderful city. 'Tls a marvelous city. But d'yo know, me dear man, thnt tho most Im pressive thing to mo Is tho absolute lack of Interest taken In nm personal ity. Now, In dear old Lunuln, d'yo know, I couldn't wnlk a block along tho Strand or even on any byway of the west cud but I'd bo saluted: "Ah, Sir James-a very clever morning," or the like.

On the other side, d'yo know, I urn a person of consequence. "Thero was an lutense pause, which Sir James finally Interrupted: " 'D'yo mind telling me, my dear man, what Is your name?' "Tho red-haired Individual addressed drew himself up to bis full height," said Mr. Clemens, according to tho New York Times, "und In a deep, rich brogue replied: "'Me name Is John Maglnuls, night before last, night before that, last night, to-night, an' 'twas an' will bo every night plain John Maglnnls.' " NOT A DYING RACE. Mohawk Buya the Indian Uaa a Great Future. J. O. Brnnt-Sero, otherwise known ns OJlJatekha, which Is Mohawk for "Burning Flower," Is a Canadian In dian who lectured recently at the as sembly rooms, Longacre, on Indian life In Canada. M:. Brant-Sero Is a full-blooded Mo hawk, plus the education of an Intellec tual white mnn. He lectured to the British Association ut Glasgow, by spe cial request on the manners und cus toms of the Mohawk tribes In Canada. Last night he said to a press repre sentative: "I started to travel when I was 11 years old, and I hnvo been pretty much oer the world since then. My line of study Is the backward races. I don't care much about Greek and Homnn antiquities, nnd consequently I hnve never bothered much about them; but I have always believed that tho backward races had something In them that was very little understood." "Does Canada trcut Its Indlnns better than the United States does theirs?" "Well, Canada partly does, nnd she pnrtly does not Tho people of tho United States hnvo slowly changed their Ideas toward us. There Is scarce ly a respectable homo In the United States without a picture of some cele brated Indian chief. Tho United States Is now proud of Its association with the Indian tribes, but Canada Is scurcely so. From the olnt of gcncrnl treatment there Is not much to choose between either colmtry. "In both places tho Indian tribes nre on the Increase. There nro more In dlnns In Canada now thnn thero wero when Christopher Columbus first land ed In America. Tho Iden that tho backward racoM must die out Is now exploded. It was becauso people were trying to shovo n form of civilization down our necks which did not suit us. When we got to tho real foundations of civilization then we began to steadily Increase. In Canada we are all under tho Ontario school system, nnd from the education that Indlnns nre getting to-day, I maintain that thero Is a big future before them lu every walk of life. "Wo shall alwayB maintain our tradi tions ns u Hemirato race, nnd wo are taking steps to print the old legends and traditions. Thoy must never die out Longfellow's 'Hiawatha' Is a beau tiful story, but It Is not tho true Indian legend. When wo print tho stories of our race, we shall glvo them ns thoy are, without alteration." If Mr. Brnnt-Sero Is an average speci men of the educated Indian, his conten tion Is decidedly true. "Burning Flow er" speaku like an educated white man, nnd lu nddltlon, has tho Impenetrable reservo and tremendous energy which characterizes his race. Loudon Ex press. WARNED BY A LIZARD. Miner' Pet Kecclved Poor Itcwurd for It Trouble, However. Stories of pet luilinuls which have rendered some Important service to their masters are not uncommon, Out Is upt, however, to associate such ser vices with creatureH of a high order of Intelligence, and would hardly expect a lizard to play tho part of monitor; but tho Leisure Hour describes uu In teresting Incident of that kind which happened In Australia, A gold-digger had tamed a bright eyed Australian lizard, which made his quarters in tho miners' tent, and was on object of Interest and attention on the part of all tho men lu camp. On the march ho made his homo In his master's sorgo blouse, running up tho arm of the looso gurmeut, or round tho full front above the tight waist band, as fancy took him. When tho camp was pitched for tho night, ho em ployed himself by making tho most careful Inspection of tho Immediate surrouudlngs within nnd without tho tent He made himself acquainted with overy stone, turf, stump or holu within what he considered his domuln, eventually retiring with tho sun to tho blanket on his master's bed, where he invariably slept On ono occasion ho became restless during tho ulght, and began to run rap idly backward und forward over his master's face, making at the same time a low, spitting noise, llko that of an angry cat By this means he at length aroused tho sleeper, who gently pushed him away several times, speaking soothingly In the hopo of quieting tho excited llttlo creature. But the lizard would not bo soothed; on the contrary, having attracted at tention, ho continued his rapid move ments, until at length bis master, con vinced that something was wrong, got up, struck a light, and looked round tho tent. The sharp eyes of tho lizard followed every movement with Intcnso interest. Nothing unusual could bo seen, nnd tho miner lay down again. He wns scarcely asleep, however, before the lizard waked htm ngaln, and losing pa tience, bo seized the creature nnd In tho darkness tossed him from tho bed across the tent. In his Involuntary flight the llttlo animal struck the tent-pole with con siderable force, nnd half of his tall wns broken off a matter of no very grcnt Importance to a lizard, perhaps, but still a discouraging rownrd for a well-meant wnrnlng. Nevertheless, tho maimed little reptile returned to the bed, kept closo to his master, and continued restless nnd excited all tho rest of tho night ' At daybreak, when tho tents wero struck, nnd the bedding rolled up, rendy to bo placed on tho cart, tho mys tery wns explained. In tho scrub and fern thrown underneath the betiding, to keep It from the bare ground, a huge tiger snnko with several young ones wns discovered. Tho tiger snako Is of n kind much fenred by tho colonists, nnd, like most snakes, has a pronounced odor, which, no doubt, hnd made the lizard aware of ItH presence. It had probably crept Into the tent after the lizard had mado Its ovenlug Inspection of tho premises. Am Green Haw Grant. After a memorial service In Westmin ster Abbey' nt which General Grnut, then traveling lu England, was pres ent, Dean Stanley asked John Klcluird Green, tho historian, to go Into tho deanery. It wns to Introduce Mr. Green to the American general. The presenta tion took place. Grnut shook hands and said, "Mr. Green," In a dry voice, and said no more. This moved tlw Englishman to write to a friend: "1 think Grnut seems almost to rival tho man who 'can bo silent In eleven lan guages,' " and to tell a story of another taciturn man, Moltke, A young sub altern found himself put by error Into the sumo compartment with tho Prus sian lleld-mnrshal, "Pardon, sir!" sajd the subaltern, when ho entered, nnd "Pardon, Hlrl" when the train stopped, and he could ut last retire. "What n n Insufferable prater!" said Moltke. In tho course of tho conversation that afternoon, Dean Stanley talked of the ex-President's "laying down the scep ter," which Green thought hardly n republican phrase, but Lord O'Hngnn, to whom ho relented It, promptly said: "Grunt must hnvo laid down some thing; he had no crown to lay down, aud he certainly would not lay down his pipe!" "Grant Is a short, square, bourgeois looking man, rather like n shy but holi est draper," Is the Mulshing touch to this unaffected sketch, which has been taken from Green'B "Iettors." "Still ho could take n look of dignity when one wiih 'presented,' and I did not for get that he had been n ruler of men." holiool Tor Houbrottea, Somewhat like American dramatic schools, but specialized In nccordanco with the German tendency to spcclnll 'zntlon In everything, is tho school for soubrettes In Berlin.
