It is customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than a bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat.

The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the srateni.

An Unbiased View of the Henlly Ite marknblc Movement that la Now Taking l'lace-Prolilcins Which lte. Kxlsteucc Urlng Into llcing. Two very remarkable movements are discernible In the business and the edit cation of the times; and yet, when we come to examine them, we lind that the tendencies have been clearly In view for more than a dvcadc. Six years ago the present writer went to the presi dent of one of the large corporations of this country and usked him to give em ployment to n man who had turned his forty-eighth year. There were personal rcufious why he should grant such a re quest, nnd the person for whom tho pluce was sought was entirely accept able in character, ability and health. The president replied: "I want to do this, but It Is Impossible. The age of the young man Is crowding upon mod ern busluess so fast thnt he will soon monopolize It. We take no ono who has passed 45 we cannot afford to do It. Hut I will .tell you what I will do. If this man has a son anywhero from 15 to 25 years old I'll find a posi tion for him at once." So far has this tendency already gone that tho prob lem or getting rid of employes nbove a certain age In now under discussion, nnd so great has been the unenslness thnt several of the largo concerns have Issued statements that the old men will not be discharged. At the snmo time practically all of them are tnklng on only young men, nnd the demand has made n profound Impression upon the highest college nnd universities of the country. It has been shown that If a student goes through nil the courses to the post-graduate specializations he U nbout 30 be fore ho gets into active life nnd mod ern busluess needs hlui ut least live years before that time. It Is not a mere sentiment hut n real conviction which contends thnt the years lost from work between 20 nnd 80 are In a measure stolen from the lives of tho students. This mny be an cxtremo view, but many, If not most, of our leaders in In dustry nnd In the professions believe it In true. That there will come a ch'ango a compromise, perhnps-seems to bo one of tho certainties of tho near fu ture. Along with the Increasing hold of the young men comes the problem of car ing for those who have passed into what Is swecplngly called old age. It Is not fair to Bet limits on any Individual. So long as he Is ublo to do his work and do It acceptably ho Is entitled to every opportunity nnd advantage. Wo do not refer, of course, to tho old men of signal ability and success, for the grave Is tho only Btop to their energies and usefulness, and It would be easy to All many columns with names of thoso who ore past 70 who are holding their own with tho best thnt the young er generations can ahow. Hut there 1 nn army of millions of wrinkled nnd white-haired veterans who have lolled faithfully and well all their lives, nnd upon whom others nro dependent. Their welfaro brings Into promlneuco the sysem of old-age pensions which has been pursued In Germany moro successfully than anywhero else, and which has been Introduced by several of the Important corporations In the United States. This may bo the solu tion of the other end of tho problem, while the young men keep on crowding Into 'the ofllces and workshops and ac complishing the great things of an ad vancing civilization by their skill, quickness and enthusiasm. Saturday Evening Post UTAH HA8 A MODEL TOWN. Moriuona Claim Only Bucceasfnl Ex periment In Local Government. There Is one town In tho United States whoso Inhabitants do not hun ger for tho tlesh pots of other commu nities laylug claim to a higher degree of culture. The place Is named Vernal nnd It Is situated not far from the res ervation of Uintah Indians In Utah. Ono of Its attractions Is that there has never been any local tax levied on the townspeople, for tho reason that tho sensible system of city government provides n perfectly adequate Income without the necessity of taxation. Nothing Is given away by the city gov ernment of Vernal. If any franchises or privileges are desired they must be paid for and puld for at their full value. Saloons uro looked upon aa a luxury thnt can be dispensed with, but as tho town Is not a total abstinence commu nity the snloona aro allowed to exist by tho payment of a large fee to the treasury. Grime Is taxed to the utmost Fines rnther than imprisonment are the pun ishment for evildoers. Instead of a pris oner being supported for a term at the1 ATTutncu) of the city he la mulcted In a sum deemed commensurate with the enormity of the offense and the money goes to the town's exchequer. In this iv the burden of tho city's expenses Is placed on the shoulders of those who deserve to be made to bear it, and the well-behaved citizen instead of suffer ing by the action of the wrongdoer in being compelled to support him in jail actually benefits by bis wrongdoing In the absence of taxation. Bo proud are the citizens of Vernal of their model town that the city offi cials almost invariably turn back Into the treasury the amounts received for salary. The only man who Is really paid by the town for his work-is the city marshal, who devotes bis whole time to the duties of bis office. Aa might be expected, the town la splendidly laid out, possessing miles of asphalted streets, one of tho finest school buildings In the West and ample means for the building of more ns they are needed. No breath of suspicion hns over been directed nt the otllclals of tho town. Their action In refusing to re ceive salaries might In Itself divert any suspicion of "hoodllng." The town numbers about 4,000 persons, nnd ns Its adlmrnblc sytem of government Is at tracting numbers to take up their resi dence there It Is probable that It will emerge from rompnratlvo obscurity during the next few years and become one of the most Important cities of tho West. WIVES AND BEATINGS. Women Discuss the Amount of Abuse Their Bex Bhoulil Ktidurc. "How much beating should a wlfo bear before"sho made up her mind to leave her husband?" was ono of tho main subjects discussed to-day nt tho women's conferenco of tho In-Hlo-Nnme Society In All Souls' Church, at Madison nvenuo nnd 00th street. In tho opinion of Mrs. Louise Seymour Houghton, editor of a religious news paper, the wife should submit rnther than leave her husband to be at the mercy of bad Influences. Mrs. Hougton said that, although there were times In tho present stnto of society when a divorce seemed neces sary, a higher and moro Ideal stato would make such n thing Impossible. She called attention to tho stormy do mestic life of tho prophet HoBea, In order to show to what extent one part ner should bear with tho Indiscretions nnd the sins of the other. The Bcntlments produced n sensntlou, and there was a murmur of dissent Ono of thoso present nBked If tho woman Injured by nn Intoxicated hus band should remain with him. Mrs. Houghton said that she had known many noble wives and mothers whoso husbnnds had beaten them every Satur day night. Tho speaker Bald that It would be better for the family If tho injured wlfo had tho grace and tho Htrength of mind, nnd, nbovo nil, tho love for her husband, to hold to her famly relations. Mrs. Elizabeth D. Grannls suggested that such treatment of n wlfo on tho part of a husband was degrading to tho marriage relation. Mrs. Houghton an Bwcrcd that one soul could not degrndo another without that soul's consent She said that she had known In tho lower walks of llfo of husbands who had beaten and Ill-treated their wives, nnd thut after all, they had como nround nil right: whereas, If tho wives had left their lords nnd masters, the men might have gone Irretrievably to tho bad. "What I wish to ask." Bald Mrs. Ar thur Smith, "Is, how long should n wlfo submit to beating before she leaves her husband?" "Mrs. Houghton, If I understand her correctly," replied Mrs. Grannls, "said there was no limit Now, thero was John Wesley, whoso wife dragged hi in around the house by tho hair of his head. It seems to mo that It would have been moro dignified had he resented It" New York Correspondence Baltimore Sun. An Obllulnfc Caller. When Monsieur Clemencenu was In tho French Chamber of Deputies, ho became, for some reason, tho Idol of tho working man; but his popularity, according to the course bf nature, brought Its pcunltlcs. Ho was besieg ed by all sorts of people, who enmo merely to ask questions, and sometimes they wero questions of thoTuost trivial sort , He was originally n doctor, and used to glvo advice for uothlng at certain hours of tho day. Ono morning a working man entered his room, and Clemencenu suld, without looking up from his writing: "Tako off your coat and shirt I'll attend to you directly." Throo minutes later ho found tho man had stripped to tho waist. ','Thero Is nothing tho matter with you," said tho doctor, when ho had mado an examination, "I know thero Isn'tl" returned tho man. "Then what did you como for?" "To consult you on n political ques tlon." "Hut wbnt did you strip for?" "I thought you wanted nn Illustra tion of tho emaciated body of the man who lives by tho sweat of his brow." Tho political question remained un answered. Monsieur Clemencenu was too exasperated to do moro than tell tho man to dress nnd go home. From Tomahawk to Shoe-Brush. Sitting Hull's eledst son Is a boot black.

THE VERY FIRSr TYPEWRITER. V I 1 Almost any big typewriter agency hns displayed, at ono time or nnothcr, some bnttered contrlvnnco which Is de clared to be "tho first typewriter." H Is beyond doubt, however, that this decrepit machine, Invented by It. T. P. Allen, of Kentucky, 40 years ngo, nnd now In tho United States patent olllce, Is the real orlglunl. As long ngo as 1714 the Urltlsh pat ent olllce granted to Henry Mills, a Londoner, papers patent for "nn arti ficial writing machine." Mills' tnnehlno , however, wns too bulky and altogether , Impracticable. Other typewriting mechnulsms followed, but until the Al-1 len Invention wns accomplished tho genuine typewriter did not come Into existence. Allen's mnchlne really em bodied all the essential features of tho modern machine. Superintendent Gill, of tho pnteut olllce, vouches for tho priority of tho Invention here pictured. P)l?fl wmMSi w r If wo could persuade overy man in any kind of business to advertise, says the editor of the Jacksonville, Fin., Metropolis, we would do It with the full assurance thnt we wero doing tho busi ness public the greatest kind of favor. Tho difference between a non-ndver-tlslng town nnd an advertising town Is the difference between one that Is allvo and stirring nnd ono that Is dead. Tho difference between tho advertising merchant nnd the non-advertising mer chant Is tho difference between a man who pulls off his coat and rolls up his sleeves nnd gets down to hnrd work and pushes his business, nnd tho man who sits down nnd waits for business to come to him. It Is the difference be tween perseverance nnd sloth; It Is tho difference between energy and laziness; It Is the difference between tho nctlvo dollar nnd the Idle dollar; It Is thcdlffer enco between tho man of to-dny and tho fossil who lins notions that aro forty or fifty years old. You look nt tho newspaper In nny town nnd scan Its advertisements; sco who It Is thnt advertises; what Is ad vertised; how much, nnd you enn very readily understand what kind of a vil lage you nrc going to. The busluess man who understands business shys tho non-ndvcrtlsing town ns he would tho bubonic plague. The non-advertiser Is death to enterprise aud death to pro gress. If you aro In business nnd nrc In earn est about It you ought to Just let the public know something nbout yourself by the use of printers' Ink. It not only gives the public Information about your business, but It helps you to do a great work In your own behalf. How to Get Itloli. Everybody wants to be rich.

Where Laces Aro Mado. Somo of tho finest luces In tho world come from Belgium. There are no less than a thousand luco schools In that country. Each of the towns has Its owu particular "points,'' tho patterns of which have been handed down from mother to daughter for generations. Lace mnklug Is the chief Industry of tho women of Flanders, and Ikik been for five centuries. The finest specimens of Brussels lace come from the town of that name. Bruges has Its point duchesBc. or Belgian Houlton, a bril liant while pillow luco of flowers, uni ted by burrettes. Prettiest of all tho Flemish laces Is that made at Mechlin, Point de Mechlin It Is called. It has an exquisitely transparent ground mid fine design. Is It ever allowable to say of a man when he Is well dressed that ho 'woks like a dream? Are boys really worse than girls, or Is the statement that they sre, simply a white Ho? mto IN A RACK OF FIRE. Boy Imprisoned in lilt; Chandelier of Driiry Lane Theater. To cling to the network of rods on n huge chnudcllcr, ronstlng In the up rushing heat of hundreds of gns burn ers, with n drop of ninety fen be neath this is an experience the mem ory of which still makes Mr. Frank Pnrker shudder. The circumstances nro told In the Strand Mngnzluo. Before tho day of electric lights Drury Lane Theater wns Illuminated by a great gasolier, eighteen feet across the base. It huug ou stout chains twelve feet long, and was fed by pipes coming down through a man hole In the celling. Close to this man hole was n circular crown of burners; a larger elrclo ran round tho bottom of the chandelier; and In addition, "bas kets" of lights wero grouped nt Inter vals about the lower rim. Tho boy who lighted this glittering mnss of Jets and flashing prisms wns Frank Purkcr, ti youth of 17. As no automatic spark had then been de vised, the method of lighting was a primitive one. Parker used to go Into tho garret abovo tho celling nnd reach down through the manhole with a long pole, nt the end of which was a spirit torch. In doing this ho had to be very careful not to break auy of the glass pendants, which, If loosened, might un der tho great heat drop off during a performance and kill some ouo In thu pit Ono night, as Purkcr reached down to light tho lower range of lights and tho basket clusters, ho knocked tho polo against a string of glass prisms, which canto loose nt ouo end and swung down, supported only by a small copper wire. , Then ho remembered tho words of tho mn linger: "If uny of the crystals come loose, break them off ut all costs. They nro dangerous." So Pnrker, without hesitation, climb ed down through the mnuholo upon the Interlaced rods and braces of tho chan delier, which swayed slowly above the black pit. As he let himself down through tho hoop of lights which formed tho top of the chnudcllcr, his lump caught tho circle of open Jets, and tho llamo rau round In a succession of sputters, one light cntchlng from nnother, ns a row of dominoes fulls. There ho was, Im prisoned between Are abovo and dark ness below. At first he did not notice his peril, for ho was Intent on breaking off tho dan gerous cluster of prisms. With great difficulty ho reached It and knocked It Into the pit Tho pause before It strueic told him how deep the chasm lay be neath him. Then he looked up and realized his position, for thero was tho circle of blazing Jets above him barrlug the way to the manhole. The heat and poisonous fumes of hundreds of lights Vushod over him up through tho ventilator. Ho called for help. Tho minutes slipped by. The rods ho clung to grow hot. Then, when ho had almost given up hope, the hend llghtman heard his cries aud rushed up, over tho grille, through tho dark gurrot to tho manhole. Turning off tho lights, he lny down, ns one does to pull a drowning mnn from a hole, reached through tho opening, nnd. seizing Pur leer's arms, drew him up to safety. NATIONAL CU8TOM8. Blr Charlea Napier Wui Perfectly WilllnK o Ubserve Them. When Sir Churles Nupler was exerv clslng military rulo In India, he show cd extraordinary skill as un udmlnls trutor. Ho uvallcd himself as much as possible of the framework of govern ment previously existing, nnd used a wonderful tact In answering tho Hln du mind uccordlug to Its owu form of thought "Make no nvoldublo change In the ancient laws nnd customs," he suld to his subordinates. "Tho conquest of a country Is sulllcleut convulsion for tho peoplo, without abrupt changes In their habits and social llfo." One custom,' however, ho did abolish, nnd bis mothod of doing It showed his wisdom In administratorship. This wns tho practice of suttcclsin thu burning of widows o.j the funeral piles of their husbands; and ho not only (Hit his foot firmly down on It, hut met counter ar guments In tho only manner possible, ' The custom had been formally abol ished by Lord William Heutwlck, In ltilil); but evidently It was htlll prac ticed n dozen years Inter when Sir Churles wuh In nulla. When ho proclaimed his Intention of suppressing HUtteelsni, tho priests enmu to him to protest, ou tho ground that all nations had customs to be re spected, and that huUccIhiii was ouo of' them. Napier affected to be Impressed by tho argument. "Bo It no," suld ho. "Tho burning of widows Is your custom. Prepare tho pllo. But my nntlon hns also n cus tom, When men burn women alive, wo bang thorn nnd coullscnto all their property.
