THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, OA CATARRH THIRTY YEARS. The Remarkable Experience of a Prominent Statesman Congress man Meekison Gives Pe-ru-na a High Endorsement Congressman Meekison, of Ohio. Hon. David Meekison is well known not only in his own state, but through out America. He was elected to the Fifty-nth congress by a very large ma jority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the state. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising states man. Catarrh with its insidious ap proach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For 30 years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. ' At last Perana came to the rescue. He writes: "1 have used several bottles of Pe runa and I feel greatly benefitted thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if I use it a short time longer I will be ful!y able to eradicate the disease of thirty years' standing." David Meek ison, Member of Congress.

When Alfred Tennyson appeared in the Oxford Theater to receive his D. C. L. degree, it is said, that his disheveled hair and generally negligent state pro voked the undergraduates into greet ing him with the inquiry: "Did your mother call you early, call you early, Alfred, dear?" A visitor asked the late James Tissot one day whether the picture he was at work on was intended to illustrate the time of Christ The artist replied in the affirmative. "Then," said the visit or, "permit me to call your attention to an error. Aloes, such as you have in your picture, did not jexlst in the Medi terranean region till after the conquest of Mexico by Spain." Tissot promptly took his brush and altered the picture. Some Goettingen students who had a keen admiration for- KJopstock, the "German Milton," once found one of his stanzas unintelligible, and begged him to explain its exact meaning to them. The poet read the stanza then carefully re-read It then read it again, while all looked on with bated breath. At last he spoke: "I cannot recollect what I meant when I wrote it, but I do remember that it was one of the finest things I ever wrote, and you cannot do better than devote your lives to the discovery of its meaning." So many members of the staff of the Mafeking Mail were recently, incapaci tated at one time that the editors felt obliged to apologize for the paucity of news in a certain issue. "We are sorry," they said, "but we could not help it. One of the staff had rheu matics and partial paralysis of the shoulder, another has had a few days' colic, and yet another could not come to .work because his child was danger ously ill. One left without notice and paid two pounds for an Interview with the resident magistrate in consequence, and another seized the opportunity to break Into teetotalism, while more ter rible still, one of our best went and got married." It is said that one of the great ene mies of the overland telegraph line in Central Australia Is the common green frog. In order to save the Insulators from being broken by the lightning' they are provided with wire "drop pers" leading round them at a little distance to conduct on to the iron pole in case of need. The frogs climb the poles and find the insulators cool and pleasant to their bodies, and fancy that the "dropper"is put there to furnish them with a back" seat. After a nap they yawn and stretch out a leg until it touches the pole result, sudden death to the frog, and as the body continues to conduct the current to earth we have a paragraph In the pa pers to the effect that "in consequence of an interruption to the lines proba bly caused by a cyclonic disturbance In the interior, we are unable to pres ent our readers with the usual cables from England!" FROST DISTURBS RAILROADS. On Nearly All Russian Lines It Is an Element of Expense, In a recent issue of the "Oregon fur die Fortschritte des Sisenbahnwescns' L. von Lubimoff, chief engineer of the Trans-Siberian Railway, describes an interesting phenomenon of frost action which has been observed on the line of that railway in Siberia. This phenomi enon, the distortion of wooden trestle bridges by the action of frost is close ly connected with the extensive frost disturbances of the roadbed in general which are encountered In both Euro pean and Asiatic Russia; but while the latter effect has been known for some time, the action on bridge structures has been noted and studied only during the last few years, says the Engineer Ing News. The disturbance of the roadbed by frost is a very serious matter, states Mr. von Lubimoff; on 05 per cent of all Russian railway lines it constitutes one of the most important problems of maintenance of way. The disturbance occurs mainly in low-lying, wet ground; the soil In such places is gener ally found to be clay overlying or with Intervening layers of water-bearing sand or gravel. The action in prolong ed cold weather seems to be about as follows: The earth gradually freezes downward, and as the molster stratas are reached the contained water causes them to freeze In thin sheets or lami nations. As the frozen layer Increases in thickness it tends to separate from the strata below and to form bumps or hillocks. A succeeding rise of tem perature produces an open and porous structure In the frozen layer, and any water entering from either above or below fills the Interstices. When the temperature again falls this water freezes and by Its expansion further raises the swellihg. In time this process produces notice able roughness of the roadbed, which may be so extensive as to make traffic at any considerable speed positively dangerous. Mere resurfacing is only a temporary expedient The only effec tive means to deal with portions of the railway line that are thus affected has been found to be (1) to drain the sur rounding soil thoroughly by deep drain age ditches, so that the ground water level In the neighborhood of the road bed Is lowered well below any possi bility of frost extending down to It or (2) to Increase the depth of filling suffi ciently to protect the natural ground below it from the action of frost. The filling must be of open texture and well drained, so that it will not Itself give trouble In the same way. Both meth ods of protection are, where possible, used simultaneously. The distortion of bridges is a more difficult matter to cope with, though, of course, the aggregate of damage and Interference with traffic is very much less. It may be stated that the piles are in each case driven well down into the subsoil below frost level, but the rising of the surface layers, as explain ed above, lifts the piles up with it by friction.

The manager of a Chicago carpet de partment, whose knowledge brings him an annual income of $10,000, advised the following treatment for valuable rugs: Lay them wrong side up on tne grass, beat wltn a rurniture beater, re verse, and sweep carefully, a soft brush being the preference, or a good carpet sweeper. A little airing outside of the sun's rays is good occasionally, when they may be carried in the house. The average American housewife wears out her rugs by continually sweeping and beating. The plan of putting them upon a line every two or three weeks. or even once a montn, ana tnere cav ing them whipped, la not to be com mended if the rugs are of any value. When a rug is to be thoroughly clean ed, it should be sent where the work Is properly done or else washed at home. A machine is now in use which loosens the dust and removes It by means of a strong current of air. This is effective and not hard on the rug. When the surface becomes soiled It can be washed with no fear of Injuring the colors, since the majority of oriental rugs are wasnea repeateaiy oerore reaching this, country and the dyes used are thereby mellowed and enrich ed. The best method of washing a large rug Is to stretch and tack It upon a clean floor,- then scour rt;well with soap and suds. After the scouring it must be thoroughly rinsed, to remove all trace of the animal matter In the soap, after which it should not be re moved until it is perfectly dried.- Then It will not shrink and will lie perfect ly flat upon the floor. -A small rug may be tacked upon the' side of the house or barn, scoured as If on a floor and then rinsed .with the hose.

". The keeper of the carnivore, house at the Philadelphia zoo led the group of visitors to the outdoor quarters of the lions. "Look at that fellow over there," he said. "It's interesting to watch him catching flies." The lion lay beside a little puddle that the rain of the night before had made. He dipped his paw Into the sticky mud and then extended the member and lay very quiet The paw served as a fly trap. Flies lighted on it and stuck fast; buzz all they would they could not: get away. And the lion, says the Philadelphia Becord, after a dozen or two were collected, calmly crushed them and prepared his paw again. "He does that every day," the keeper said. "Love My Dou." An amusing story comes from Paris of the device adopted by a prominent clubman of wealth and position to form the acquaintance of a lady well known for her beauty in social and theatrical circles, says the London Globe. The lady was lunching in a fashionable res taurant In the Bois de Boulogne, ac companied by her equally well-known poodle. The dog was running about from table to table, picking up pieces and collecting morsels from other diners, and presently, when it returned to Its mistress, she was astonished to see written on its back in red chalk: "Tell your mistress that she is simply adorable, and I love her exceedingly." The gentleman signed his name. After this a formal introduction was no longer necessary. - The Milkman's Explanation.

THE LIFE Of Lord Soseberry, of England, Whof Although Bleb., Brilliant, Courted and Powerful, Almost Fleca front tho Society of Man. '"V : "t.-" ': " Alter a rest or several years Lord Rosebery, who became the chief of the Liberal party on the death of Glad-. stone, is again be- -coming active In the -; political af fairs of GreatBrit ain. Long asro he -. abandoned the : home-rule -ques-tion as affecting Ireland, to which . - he and his party were once com- lord rosebery. uiitted. and now it ! it is probable that there is not a more ! strenuous opponent to that policy to j be found in British public life. Rosebery's renewed activity in public ' life and his high station make a study ' of his character Interesting and much light upon this subject is given by the London Mail In a recent article. ) Lord Rosebery, says the Mali, Is one of the wealthiest and quite the most brilliant of the British aristocracy. He . is a scholar of erudition, an author of distinction and the finest orator of his day. He stands out from amid a llranlH r.f rmuilAAtHfv In enlltovv onrl grand distinction. But, underlying all this scintillating surface, there is a grim and terrible pathos in his life the pathos of utter solitude. Unseen by the crowd of ad- mirers who worship and envy him in v his proud supremacy, unrecognized " even by those who write and speak of -him as of a well-known friend, there Is an almost tragic loneliness In his po 1 t sition not merely In his political sta- -tus, but in his domestic life. He is probably at the present moment the most closely observed of all public men, the best known to the general run of ! his countrymen. His . circle of ac quaintances is probably larger than that of any other person not of royal rank. His friends are legion. Yet It would be scarcely overstepping the truth to say that he has not a single intimate that there is not a living creature with whom he can ever en tirely throw off that reserve that hides his inner self as a garment. He is, even in the midst of the applauding multitude, at a reception, or at his own dinner table, always alone. It Is only natural that this loneliness of disposi tion should beget a love of solitude. It is not far to seek for the cause of this pathetic seclusion. Lord Rose bery's life, with all its glories, with all its achievements, has been a sad one. From his earliest days Fortune squandered her richest gifts on him with a lavish hand. Born of a mother as beautiful, as fascinating as she was intellectually brilliant a former maid of honor and bridesmaid to Britain's late sovereign heritor of a proud title and of great wealth, blessed with men tal gifts and aptitudes surpassing those of any man since Disraeli, and possessed of a sound if not robust con stitution, the world lay at his feet when as little more than a boy he fell In love with the wealthiest heiress of his time Miss Hannah Rothschild, heiress to the wealthiest and most powerful branch of that distinguished family. His meeting with her was as romantic as anything ever conceived by any novelist. His carriage collided with hers, and by extraordinary agility, combined with no less extraordinary presence of mind, he sprang out and caught her as she fell after having been thrown upward by the force of the Imoact. Then he carried her. stunned. to a neighboring bouse. He devoted to her all the ardor and passion of a great nature, and, despite the most relentless opposition on the part of her father, he finally succeeded in winning her. The love that "had stood the stress .of a trying courtship lasted unimpaired during the whole of his married life. His wife was some thing more than a wife to him. She was his maker. She threw herself heart and soul into his work and Into his sport- It was she that bad made him a politician; it was she that set him out on that brilliant career which she never lived to see him consummate.
