Yonkers Ga zette. 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 doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the bloodand 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.

HIS FIRST ENOLISH ESSAY , , A French Pupil's Slightly Involved Method of Describing a Holiday. An ' English university magazine prints the followinpr essay on "A Sum mer Holiday," written by a French pu pil in an English -school: "The time which I was spending1 to accomplish that journey was eight hours by ex press train, starting- from the Montpar nais station. This road is a very pleas ant one, and without account the nu merous towns which the peoples are go ing so often are: Baths, swim, the im mensity oi the large space occupy with that water, and so wonderful aspect, chiefly when we are seeing that for the first time; the great many steamers, sailers, fishing boats, moving to the sea with a astonishing easiness, the fishes of all kinds took each, day by the fishermen, along the shore,' and the games, such as croquet, lawn tennis, cards and many others, when the tide begin to go away. In that place it be gin at two o'clocks to five, and then the place which, it was occupying before is full of people amusing themselves, and the children carrying their things, be gin to make many sand mountains, among herselves, seeing with a great joice the pleasure which occupe their children. When the weather is clear and the sky without any clouds, they let a boat and sail Along a little dis tance, walking here and there, fishing in the rocks the lobster putting their breeches on the knees in order do not make their feet wet, and when the dusk begin to fall, they start from the sea shore and entering in the houses or hotels, discute about the pleasures of the day. Oh! then how they find them selves happy in these hours of peace always thinking to they pleasure, they do not doubt at all the kinds of sor rows in this short life, and do not thing no more to the poor people, whom has not so much good, in order to re joice himself as well as these fortunate travelees making every year the same thing, in order to preserve their own health in breathing the well-doing air of the sea, which give appetite, strength, and finally making their own desir in execution, that .is to say their own well-being." TWO NOTED SISTERS. ' One Refused to Pay Taxes and the Other Translated the Bible. At a recent meeting of the Equal Eights club of Hartford, Conn., Mrs. L. D. Bacon gave an interesting sketch of the late Miss Abby Smith, of Glas tonbury, Conn., who for many years refused to pay her taxes because she did not have a vote. While her sister Julia raised cows and made five trans lations of the Bible, Abby raised, the breeze that wafted them to fame. In the days of the "Millerites" and their talk about the end of the world, Julia wanted to learn if there was any war rant in the original Hebrew for Miller's predictions, fixing the end of the world in 1843; so she studied Hebrew and then went to work and translated the Bible. "I have been unable to find," said Mrs. Bacon, "that any one man ever trans lated the whole Bible alone. .The Bible has been worked up by many different hands, and has appeared under differ ent names, as 'Wicliffe's Bible,', 'Tyn dale's Bible,' 'Coverdale'3 Bible,' 'Cran mer's Bible,'' and 'King James' Bible.' No one man ever did the work alone and unaided. This was loft for a woman to do, and not only twice, but five times did She perform this Herculean labor, and then modestly shut the translations up in her closet for a quarter of a cen tury, never at that time intending to publish them. Probably no woman after the age of eighty can show such a record as that of Julia Smith. At the age of eighty-two she had a lawsuit in her town which was decided in her favor, and was then appealed by the defendant to the court of common pleas in this city, resulting in a long trial the Smith sisters coming over every day, Julia being the brightest witness on the stand, in spite of her fourscore years and two. At the age of eighty four she published her translation of the Bible. At the age of eighty-six she was married, making a record which easily distances the records of ordinary mortals in the eighties.'' WAS HER OWN MILLINER. A Washington Woman Whom Taste for Tulip Buds Got Her Into Trouble. A comical experience of a friend of mine may be cited as a warning to other women who meditate defying the milliner by original methods of bonnet trimming, says a writer in Kate Field's Washington. Looking from her win dow one Sunday morning when the tulip trees were in bloom, it flashed upon her mind that one of those yellow and green striped buds would be just the touch of color needed at .the back of her new black lace bonnet, the pres ent somberness of which did not please her. Two buds were finally secured, and nestled down in the lace, where the effect was eminently satisfactory. Pleased with the result of her ex pedient, the bonnet was donned and my friend serenely made her way down the aisle to her pew, in blissful uncon sciousness 'of the sensation she was to create ere she left the church. As the service progressed all thought of the tulip bud passed from her mind as com pletely as though it had never existed to tempt her errant fancy. Gradually, however, she became conscious that a great amount of suppressed laughter was going on in her immediate vicinity during the sermon. Annoyed that she should have her attention distracted, my friend turned upon the offenders with a look of stern disapproval. All to no purpose, however, for after each such silent rebuke the evidence of mirth seemed to increase. She returned home at the conclusion of the service, and, while descanting to her family upon the irreverent behavior of the people behind her in church, she took off her bonnet. As she did so she gave a gasp, for the mystery was explained. There, on the back of her lace bonnet where she had pinned a couple of sleek, closed tulip buds, were two gorgeous flowers, which, in the warm atmosphere of the church, had grad ually opened to a perfect bloom.
