Ayer's Sarsaparilla does what no other blood medicine in existence can do. It searches out all impurities in the system and expels them harmlessly through the proper channels. This is why Ayer's Sarsaparilla is so pre eminently effective as a remedy for rheumatism. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local rem edies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional . treatment. Hall's Catarrh, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure in the market. It is taken internally in dosea from 10 drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts directly on the blootTand mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address. F. J.

Be Is the Noblest Kpecles ot the Whole Canine Race. , The Newfoundland dog1 takes his name from the island where he is sup posed to have originated. Many, how ever, believe that the Norsemen, who discovered America in the year 1000, in troduced this dog- in Newfoundland. He is bv some classified among the wolf-dogs, while others, on account of his large pendulous ears, say that he should not belong1 to this family, but that he and the St. Bernards should. occupy a place by themselves. The Newfoundland, says Harper s Young People, since his introduction in England, has improved in appear ance, and is now larger and heavier. In Newfoundland and Labrador these dogs are used as beasts of burden, drawing considerable loads of wood and provisions on sledges. Their feet are partially webbed, and therefore they are most excellent water dogs. The scent is not strong, and as the dog is slow and clumsy, he is not valuable to the hunter, except as a retriever when speed is not required. In the island of Newfoundland this dog is almost totally black, but . the English varieties are usually black and white. As a"watch-dog the Newfound land is only second to the mastiff. He is amiable to children and small dogs. Kept in confinement he often gets cross and ill-tempered, and flies at those for whom he has previously shown the greatest regard. Where a dog cannot be allowed to run, and must be chained up, the New foundland should not be kept. This dog is a great life-saver, and by in stinct will jump into the water to save even an enemy from drowning. THE VAMPIRE BAT. A Dread Creature That Is Common In India. I have always despised bats, said a Cleveland man recently, and it always sends a shudder over me whenever one of the hideous creatures approaches me. The bats of this country, how ever, are not to be dreaded in compar ison to those of the vampire species which abound in India. Just imagine a big- mouse with a horn on his head like a rhinocerous, furnish him with a pair of demon-like wings, and you have a very good picture of this latter kind. The natives dread the vampire bat on account of his bloodsucking propensi ty. In the sultry nights he fans the heated sleeper with his wings while his needle-like teeth are being in serted into the veins of his victim, quenching . his thirst for blood with such gentleness that it is only by some fortunate chance that he is discovered before the mischief is done. It is a well-authenticated fact that if an indi vidual is ones bled by a vampire he is invariably chosen, in preference to all others equally exposed for a subseqent attack, and even if he were to move ten or twenty milos away, no im munity is gained thereby, as the bat is sure to follow him and keep up his blood-thirsty attack until his victim succumbs or the animal is discovered and killed. Cattle and horses, from being more exposed, are more frequent ly chosen as the subjects of attack by these loathsome creatures. UNAPPRECIATED BANANAS. Some Superstitions About Haddocks and Fcra Roots. The banana possesses wonderful sus taining properties, and yet years ago, in the warm countries where it flour ibhes, the banana was thought of so lightly that it was allowed to waste if not eaten by the cattle. The plant itself was valued simply as a shade for coffee trees, between rows of which it was planted. Somebody once told me, says a writer in the Gentlewoman, that the Span iards used to regard the banana as a forbidden fruit, because they detected in its heart the transverse section of the cross. I remember, too, how one of my early governesses used to delight me by showing me the cross and the apostles in the center of the passion flower; and the other day a friend told me of some curious symbolical marks to be found at the back of the neck of the haddock, indentations similar to those that might be caused by the finger and thumb, the supposition being that the haddock was one of the fishes picked out of the net on the occasion of the miraeulous draft of fishes. CHAMPIONS IN THEIR LINE. Absent-Blinded People Who Were Simply Wonders. They are telling a story of a Dutch man who presented himself at the reir- istar's office recently to obtain a license for his approaching marriage, and who. on being asked the name of the bride, was compelled to confess that it had quite escaped him, and he had to re turn home for the necessary informa tion. It's a pretty good story of ab sence of mind, but there are others on record that are even better. There have been cases where persons have even forgotten their own names. Lessing, the historian, was subject to the most wonderful fits of abstrac tion. One night, returning home late, he rang the front door bell, and when a servant called out from an upper win dow that the professor was not at home, he said: "All right, I'll come again," and walked away. There was an English clergyman, Rev. George Harvest, who was engaged to a daughter of the bishop of London, ,but on the day of, his wedding went fishing, and forgetful of the appointed hour did not appear at the nuptials. The lady broke off the match. - Making; Rain In India.
