Everybody knows that of late years natural forces have been wonderfully subjected to man's need. We are dazzled by the spectacular achieve ments in steam and electricity, but are likely to forget the less noisy but no less marvelous conquest of animal and plant life. Horses are swifter, cattle heavier, cows give more milk and sheep have finer fleeces than in days gone by. In plants the transformation is even more marked. People now living can remember when the number of edible fruits and vegetables was far lees than at present and even those that could be grown were vastly inferior to what we now have. For example, our parents knew soothing of the tomato, except as a curious ornament in the garden. Sweet corn was hardly better than the commonest field sorts. All oranges had seeds. Celery was little known and poor in quality. In theHower bed the magnificent pansy has replaced the in significant heart's ease from which h was developed, and the sweet pea in all its dainty splendor traces its origin to the common garden vegetable. This progress has been made in spite of the great tendency manifested in all plants and animals to go back to the original type. It is indeed a battle to keep strains pure and up to the stand ard they have already attained, let lone any improvement. The practical results are accomplished by men operat ing largely for love of the work, like Luther Bur hank, in California, and Eckforil in England, as well as by the great seed merchants, D. M. Ferry dt Co., of Detroit, Mich., who are not only eternally vigilant to hold what ground has been gained, but have a corps of trained specialists, backed by ample means, to conduct new experi ments. The results of their experi ences can be found in their 11)06 Heed Annual, which they will send tree to all applicants. Professional Jealousr.

CATAIffiH Catarrh is usually regarded as nothing more serious than a bad cold or light inflammation of the inner skin and tissues of the head and throat, when it is, in fact, not only a vexatious and troublesome disease, but a com plicated and dangerous one. It is true that Catarrh usually begins with a cold in the head, but when the poisons, which are thrown off through the secretions, find their way into the blood, it becomes a constitutional trouble that affects all parts of the body. It has more annoying and disgusting symp toms than any other disease. There is a sickening and offensive discharge from the nostrils, a constant buzzing noise in the ears, headaches and pains in the eyes are frequent, while filthy, tenacious matter drops back into the throat requiring continual hawking and spitting, and in certain stages of the disease the breath has an odor that is very offensive. Catarrh is worse in Winter, because the cold weather closes the pores and glands, and the pois ons and unhealthy vapors which should pass off that way are thrown back on the tender linings and tissues, causing the inflammation which starts the unhealthy secretions to be ab sorbed by the blood. When the blood becomes diseased with this catarrhal matter all kinds of complications may !e looked for. As the blood circu lates through the body the foul mat ter finds its way into the stomach, ruining the digestion and producing chronic Dyspepsia, or Catarrh of the tnmirh It olio affects the KidnCVS. Bladder and other members of the body, while the general health is weak ened, appetite lost and the patient feels despondent and half sick all the time. Eut worst of all, if the trouble is not checked the lungs become diseased from the constant passage of poisoned blood through them, and Catarrh terminates la Consumption, the most fatal of all diseases. You cannot get rid of Ca tarrh by treating it with'sprays, washes, Inhalations, etc., because thry only reach the membranes and tissues, while the real cause of the trouble is in the blood. These relieve the annoying symptoms for a time, but the poison is "all the while getting a stronger hold on the system and when they are left off will manifest itself in worse form than before. S. S.

It Is commonly the lot of genius to suffer neglect at first and experi ence did not affect his abiding good nature. In a conversation with Wil liam lHan Ilowells on one occasion the subject of literature vicissitudes was broached by the humorist. "My difficulties taught me some thrift he observed. "But I never knew whether It was wiser to spend my last nickel for a cigar to smoke or for an apple to devour." "I am astounded," observed Mr. Ilowells, "that a person of so little decision should meet with so much worldly success." Mark Twain nodded very gravely. "Indecision about spending money,'' he aald, "Is worthy of cultivation. When I couldn't dv?clde what to buy with my last nickel I kept it, and so became rich." Votbrre will find Mm.

Wearying under a load ef taxation, ren dered well-nigh unbearable by added burdena Imposed by the prosecu tion of a disastrous war, the peasantry and common people started a revolt against the tyrannical aris tocracy, and have been able to force from their unwilling ruler many con cessions tending toward a free citizen ship. Massacre and raplue, In which the Jews were the chief sufferers, are part of the price paid for the advan tage gained. Another Impressive proof of civilisation's advance Is the blood less revolution by which Norway has dissolved Its political connection with Sweden and seated a king upon Its long unusued throne. The recent ex posures of graft and fraud In high financial circles and last summer's la bor troubles In Chicago are only Incl dents of the constant conflict being waged for the establishment of Jus tice and fair treatment between man and man. The Russo-Jsitanese war, after a brilliant aeries of land campaigns, during which one after another of the strongholds of the Russians in Man churla fell Into the hands of their op ponenta, and a decisive battle on the 6ea of Japan, that la said to have been one of the greatest naval contests of ill history, bss been brought to a close, and largely, we believe, by American Influence. The completion of the great Slmplon tunnel was the accomplishment of an other great engineering feat, and the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Tort- land, Ore., presented to the world a record of achievement In all lines. Great disasters have been fewer than usual, though tornadoes In Okla homa and Kansas destroyed more than five hundred lives, and earth quakes, fire and railway wrecks have done their dread work.

WIC Start the New TART the new year with a clean mind and a e'ean body I Most people are very neat and clean In their outward appearance, but how about the Inside ? Are you clean Inside? And if not, how can you face the New Year with clean thoughts, clear Intelli gence, a fair. Just, and bright mind, and your full share of capacliy for work and enjoyment. Tha holidays are over and everybody's had a good time perhaps a little too much of a good time. Over-eating and over drinking have been the rule ever since Thanksgiving Day. , Many people get little ererclse In winter and breathe much ttulfy, over-heated In side air. At the same time they eat too much rich and Indigestible food, while fresh fruit and fresh vegetables are scarce In the market. So stomach and bowels are liable to be over-taxed. Clog up, stretch and parslyre the large Intestine by over-stuffing It with undi gested food, to It can not carry oil tha useless refuse, and It "tacks up" th sewsge, and compels the sma',1 Intestine to absorb the poison of deoaylrg matter, Instead of wholesome nourishment. That's what must happen. Isn't It plain as day? What'a the result? Nearly everybody "gs'ns In f!5V' In the winter time, but It's pus-jr fat not healthy flesh and muscle. The liver gets Inactive; the bile doesn't "work off"; the eyes get yellow; the skin gets dead like putty and pale like dough, with bolls, pimples, blackheads, liver-spots to break the monotony.

Year Right! pleas.-nt company to themselves and Others. e But, you say "I'll take a course of Spring medicine to clean me out neit April." Not considering your duty to yourself nd family, isn't it certain that to leav the body full of poison all winter, si, J then suddenly attempt to force out all Impurities by one violent attack is danger ous, absurd and unreasonable? Keep clean Inside a!J the tlme. That's the simple solution. If you can r.ot diet, or keep your mech anism going ly proper exercise, the self evident alternative is to take Cascarcis, the sweet, fragrant, harmless little veri table tablets, that "act like exercise" or your bowels, and gently but powerfully clean out and disinfect the whole diges tive canal. A Cascaret every night before going ta bed will "work while you sleep" and make you "feel fine In the morning." If you have been neglecting yourself for some time, take a Cascaret night and morning and break up the "constipated habit" without acquiring "cathartlo habit." e e e Cascarets are sold by all druggists. 10c, 25a and 50c. The 10c size trial boa Is neat fit for the vest p' et or lady's purse. Be sure to get the genuine, with the) "long-tailed C"cn the box and th letters "CCC" on each tablet. They ar never told In bulk. rrREE TO OUR FRlENDIf W want t send t (ear fr'enf!i a rBtlfn rrench-detlrned GOLD-PLATtD ll()NB0!1 but lard-enameled hi teiors. It l s be j ate tor the (reulnf table.
