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.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. 5. S.

ENGLISH PRIVATE PALACES.
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

HOW THE OPBKATOHS ATTEND THE GIGANTIC 8WITOIIBOARD.
'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

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:

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

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

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."
