That means that it's driven from the head into the throat and lungs. But, by its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties, Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem edy perfectly and permanently cures. CURIOUS PLANT PROPAGATION. How Branches Are Removed from the Parent Stem. Some very curious processes for propagation are practiced at the pub lic gardens. One consists in cutting with a knife a ring around a branch of a plant. One might imagine, says the "Washington Star, that the inten tion was to kill the branch.'but such is by no means the object . in view. The cut having been made, a piece of wet mess is wrapped and tied around the branch at that point. Beneath this protection the sap exudes from the wound, and little rootlets are -developed. After a few days the branch is cut away from the parent stem, being then, itself a complete plant, with roots, all readv to put in a pot.' This plan is adopted with plants of slow growth, because one plant may thus be split up into half a dozen or more of good size, instead of waiting for a seedling or little slip to develop. A modification of the same process consists in placing a small pot full of earth around the cut place on the branch, fastening it in position. When roots have developed the branch is cut off just below the pot, and a new plant is produced.. If the gardener chooses to take the trouble he can make a sep arate plant out of every bud on a tree. In fact, an eminent botanist has said that every tree is a village, each bud being an individual. The Oldest Curse. According to Scripture, curses were known from the beginning of man. But the earliest curse the world has authentic record of is found inscribed on a door-socket of King Sargon of Babylonia, SSOO B. C, in"the Assyrio . logical collection of the University of Pennsylvania. The inscription which has been translated by Dr. II. V. Hil precht, of the university, calls down the vengeance of the gods, ', Bel Shamash and Ninna, upon the bold dis turber of the stone A Quint Debauch In China. , In China those who wish for an hour's rest or for a quiet talk with a friend can secure both by entering one of the large drinking halls, where cov ered cups are at once brought to them, each containing a measure of tea, whereon the waiter dexterously pours boiling water from a large kettle. Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have' a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. - We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (.caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

"You you don't want any coal car ried up to-day?" he queried, as he put his head into a lawyer's office on Gris wold street the other day, says the De troit Free Press. ' - ' "Haven't : money enough .to buy a bucketful," was the doleful replyr "I see.: Don't want any copying done in a fine Italian hand, I suppose?" "Nothing to copy but bills from cred itors." : "Just so. I have been there myself. Could I do any work at your house, such as shoveling off snow, for in stance?" , ', '.'No. Couldn't pay you if you did." "Exactly. We are all hard up this winter. Any bills to collect?" "Not a one." "Neither have I," and that's where we are fortunate. I'll wash those win dows for a quarter." . "Couldn't think of it." "Let 'em go until next summer, eh; or do it yourself and save tHe coin?' I understand the situation. Got any pressing creditors?"- "About fifty." "I might call upon the most persist ent and obdurate of them and make excuses for you." "No; it's no use." "No chance to hawk on to a few thousands and skip?" "Not a chance." "Don't want a fire" at your house to get theinsurance?" "My insurance has run out." "Say, old man, this is a tough, cold world, ain't she?" laughed the tramp. "You bet!" . "But we've got sand and will come out on top in the spring. If either of us earns a quarter to-day we'll whack up with thj other, eh? - Good-by see you later." A RARE INSTANCE. One Policeman Who Was Capable of a Humana Act. Policemen perform many unofficial acts which prove that the proverbial stony heart does not always beat under brass buttons. A pleasing instance is thus narrated by a writer in the Boston Saturday Gazette: A poorly dressed and feeble old woman was coming down one of the side streets on the Back Bay, carefully balancing a basket on her head. Sud denly a treacherous bit of ice, or an inequality iu the pavement, caused her to miss her footing, wnd in striving to regain it the basket was thrown to the ground and its contents, a quantity of small wares, flew in everjT direction. Almost before she had time to re alize the catastrophe, a policeman, who had been a'spectator of the scene from the opposite corner, came hast ening across the street, and with a word or two of condolence began deft ly to collect the scattered spools, pieces of tape and thimbles. Several of the spools had rolled into the gutter and were rendered worth less .by their ' contact with the mud, and my knight of the brass buttons noticed the ruetul glance cast upon them by their owner. When the last of the articles, (had been restored to the basket, and he had assisted her to raise it to her head, he took a piece of silver from his pocket, slipped it into her hand, and. with a pleasant little nod in returji for the voluminous blessings showered upon him, sauntered slowly back to his post. - This kindly act was certainly not done for effect, for the street was de serted at th time, and I was screened from view by the curtains of the win dow. A PETRIFIED DUCHESS. The Wonderful Statue Possessed by a Strassburg Artist. The petrified woman recently found in one of the caves which were used as burial -places when Strassburg (Ger many) was plague-stricken in the year 1094 is now believed to be Duchess Adelheid, the aunt of Frederick Bar barossa. The petrifaction, which has the appearance of being a beautiful marble statue, is only perfect from the waist up. It was found in a rude wood en coffin, which had been deposited in the cave, among thousands of human skulls and other remains. When the workmen opened the coffin they found that it had been filled with quicklime or some other preparation, which strongly resembled common mortar. Curious to know who had been thus carefully put away among the heaps of dead they broke into the plaster en casement and found the" wonderful petrified head and bust above alluded to. Contrary to the expectations of the sightseers, the features did not crumble away on exposure to the air, but remained clear cut, lifelike and un wasted. About the head were two braids of golden hair, and across' the breast both hands had been carefully folded. The face is said to be one of great beauty, every feature exhibiting intelligence and culture.. This wonder ful petrifaction is now in the studio of Hasley Bauer, a well-known Strass burg artist. ' Peppermint Farms. There are two places in the United States where the cultivati6n of the peppermint plant is one of the leading industries. - The older of these places is in Wayne county, New York, but for a quarter of a century the business has been a well-known one in St. . Joseph county, Michigan. In the latter place a farm of about four hundred acres is planted with the .mint each year and alternated with clover to keep up the strength of the soil. The cultivation of the crop requires more than ordi nary care. From the time the mint appears above the ground it is con stantly cultivated and hoed to keep it free from weeds, which are the bane of the ' peppermint - grower's existence Two or three crops are gathered from each planting. The first and second crops are the best, and twentj' pounds of oil to the acre is considered a good yield. , The third crop is very apt to be weedy, and the yield only about ten PQujlds to the acre. to York UeeWy Tribune 41 - ONLY Wasco County, The Gate City of the Inland Empire is situated at the head of navigation on the Middle Columbia, and is a thriving, pros perous city.
