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. J? or a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cnre
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 doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
bloodjand mucous surfaces of the system
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.- Address.

A DUCK HUNTER'S RESORT.
The Odd Business Methods of a Southern
Storekeeper. v ' "
Duck night at Ewcll's store, down on
the "Virginia coast near the North Caro
lina line, is locally famous in the duck
ing season as the special night in the
week when the storekeeper is at home
to the duck hunters of . the region.
Ewell, says the New York Sun, buys
ducks of the hunters, paying for the
game in goods from his store, and ship
ping his purchases to an up-coast life-
saving station, whence they find their
way to the markets of Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New-York.. As Ewell
waits behind his counter with a lantern,
the duckers, ; rude-looking fellows of
the beach-comber type, drop in one by
one and sit around in the gloom. Ewell
hangs -the game in a cold room at the
rear of the; 'store' land credits each
dncker with the agreed value of his
ducks. As each transaction is made the
ducker recalls something that he needs
from the merchant's stock,' and when
he has received the article the price is
debited against his credit. The ducker
then relapses to the nearest barrel or
box and waits until some other needed
article shall occur to his mind. He
then makes the new demand upon the
merchant, has a new debit placed
against his credit, and again sinks back
into the gloom. After fullly two hours
of this sort of thing, those who wish
the balance of their credit paid in cash
receive their dues, and everybody cau
tiously repairs to a hollow tree hard by,
where moonshiners from over the North
Carolina line are waiting with a fiery
article of untaxed liquor, and the heart
of the ducker is made glad.
COWBOY- APPRENTICESHIP.
A Calling; That Is Fraught with Much
Mental Anguish.
"If young men who have the cowboy
fever had any idea of the apprentice
ship they are likely to serve before
becoming full-fledged cowboys, most of
them would be cured without the ex
pense of a trip a thousand miles west,"
says Elias Miller, of Hutchinson, Kan.,
to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat re
cently. . "It is nearly twenty ' years
since I had the fever and iwent out to
be cured. My first work was watching
the line between Wyoming and Da
kota. Line or fence watching is an as
signment frequently given to' a "new
comer, and the duties consist in riding
up and down the line: and preventing
cattle from straying 6ver it. Several
men have lost their reason in this
work, and I came' very 'near doing so
myself. All the glory and adventure
we read of in books is absent, and the
solitude is terrible. ' I could cover my
distance in about two days, and did
nothing else but ride up and down the
line watching for the stray cattle,
which never strayed my way. Sheep
herding is said to be the most terribly
monotonous work a man can be put to,
but there are few cowboys in the west
wiio have not an acute recollection of
the suffcring-s they endured when do
ing such work as I describe. There are
hundreds of men doing it to-day, but
each of them is looking forward to ob
taining a new job with almost the
eagerness of a convict who knows that
his sentence has nearly expired."
HOLLAND'S TRAMPS.
Instead of ' Herding Them Together the
Gentry Are Scattered Over Farms.
The growth of the tramp industry in
mis country ana tlie consequently m-
cre;; biiig- demands made upon the chari
ty of jvlt large cities forces to the front
the question of pauperism. What shall
the country do with those who want
wcrlr and cannot get it, -and with
thos-e who might get it and won't do
it? .These questions seem to be handled
mere successfully, m Holland thnn in
any ' other ".country of the civilized
worlds In most other countries these
people are herded together in vast
poorhouses or lea in common soup
kitchens, but the Holland idea is to
scatter them as widely as possible and to
make all who are able to do it earn
their own living. ' " '-- ,
The state has a tract of land contain
ing about five thousand acres divided
into six farms, and every person apply
ing for relief is sent to one of these. If
he be willing to work and voluntarily
serves until he has gained some idea of
agriculture he is- allowed to rent
small farm for himself and to be what
is cailea a "iree tanner. rms- is a
very practical method of dealing with
the vexed problem, : and one hat is
especially adapted to this country.
NOT AMBITIOUS WOMEN.
Italian Dames Do Little Outside the Home
- Circle.
The Italian woman has not yet taken
her true working place in society. She
is generally handsome, rarely bad in
the strictest sense of the word, ' though
by no means a very strict moralist. At
home she rules; outside she exerts no
influence whatever. The political wom
an is as yet unknown. A few literary
women exist, but among them are only
one or two who rise above the average.
The Italian woman is nearly always a
good mother, even when a bad wife she
follows impulses rather than reason in
her actions, and this to a greater de
gree than her Bisters in any other Eu
ropean country.
During the national uprising she was
hopeful, but she remained humble and
never became ambitious. Mme. Eatazzi
who tried to meddle in politics, had to
desist. Outside the domestic circle the
Italian woman does not work, except in
the lower classes, and then she uses
rather her physical than her intellectual
strength. The business woman, like in
France, is not met with except in Pied
mont and Milan. . The state-has not
been able to find woman other official
employment than that of school
mistress. -".'.-' - ? -
. .. A Decided Convenience.
People walking about in a great city,

can have a fit in tbis store!"
