Y. rS4 ' ' -1 TVMPpiiTrS TOTES' AND, SYSTEM DISORDERED Catarrh i3 not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the head and throat, as the symptoms cf ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to indi cate ; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater part of the system are involved. Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess cf uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently be come torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refuse and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system. This is taken up by the blood and through, its circulation distributed to all parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all part3 of the body the ca tarrhal poison affects all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever comes and goes, the stomach is upset and the entire system disordered and t. , m iJS. affected by this disease.

The English king Is quite six Inches shorter than Queen Alexandra. ; The czar, a little man, is overtopped a full head by the czarina. Kaiser Wilhelm is of the medium height, but the German empress is tall, and that is why the proud kaiser will never- consent to be photographed be sl.1e his wife unless she sits while he stands. The king of Italy, short and squat, hardly comes up to the shoulders of the tall, athletic Queen Helena. The king of Portugal, though fatter, Is less tall than his queen. Even the Prince of Wales Is shorter a good four Inches than the princess. And the young king of Spain Is sev eral inches shorter than his queen. M tunurtood.

An official of the national museum at Washington gives some facts not gen erally known concerning the relative values of diamond and rubles. Ac- ' cording to the latest figures obtainable, a ruby weighing as much as 5 carats . is worth ten to twelve times as much as a diamond of the same weight even though the latter be of the first water. The ruby, therefore, Instead of the dia mond, is the material that embodies the highest money value In the smallest compass. , Prof. Atkinson, a botanist of Cor nell university, Is the discoverer of an example of the very rare specimen called a "plant atoll." . It consists of a ring of plants floating In a pond, with a circle of clear water within the ring. The plants derive their nourish ment from the decayed vegetable mat ter that collects about their roots, and these are gradually becoming anchored to the bottom, so that in time a true ring island will be formed, resembling the coral atolls of the southern oceans. Sir Patrick Manson, in his recent lectures on tropical diseases, although accepting the theory that the only mode of transmission of marsh, or malarial, fever is through the bite of the Ano pheles mosquito, adds the statement which will probably be new to mosw readers, that the mosquitoes are capa ble of becoming Infected by absorbing the blood not merely of human patients, but also of ' anthropoid apes, and per haps even of various other mammals, which, in an evolutionary sense, are related to man. A new estimate of the comparative amount of light received on the earth from the sua and from the brightest (apparent) fixed star In the heavens, Sirlus, has been made by Mr. Ce"askl of the Astronomical Observatory of Moscow. The sun, according to his es timate, sends us about 17,000,000,000 times as much light as Sirlus does. But this, of course, Is a matter gov erned by relative distance, so that If the earth were half-way between Sirlus and the sun, Sirlus would appear be tween 16 and 17 times as Bright as the sun. Some Interesting statistics have been collected by Vice Consul Arnold at Feodum concerning the great decline in China's tea trade. From 1678, when tea was first Introduced into England, until 1837 China held exclusively the tea trade of the world. Then India began to enter the tea market. The Chinese trade reached high tide in 1S00, with a total export of 300,000,000 pounds. In 1884 China furnished about 72 per cent of the world's total, India and Ceylon 18 per cent, and Japan and Formosa 10 per cent. But in 1904, when the total consumption had Increased to 044,000,000 pounds, China contributed only 30 per cent, India and Ceylon 00 per cent, Japan and Formosa 1J per cent The decline In China Is ascribed to careless methods of cultivation and preparation of the leaf. X CURIOUS HOLIDAY MANIAS. Same Vacation Salt Worn lor Twenty-two Seaon. Many people who are sang enough on most points become eccentric cranks at holiday time, says Tit Bits. In a cer tain Liverpool household the subject of where to go Invariably gives rise to a stormy discussion. For no less a pe riod than forty years the head of the house has regularly each summer pass ed his holidays at Douglas, in the Isla of Man. A very charming place, too, but the younger members of the family kick against going there year after year. They naturally want to see some other pleasure resorts, but their annual grumble only extorts from their Iras cible parent the declaration, "Douglas or nowhere," and,, as he holds the purse strings, Douglas or nowhere It has to be. Curiously enough, the trouble with another Liverpudlian Is that he will never be Induced to go to the same place a second time. There are few seaside resorts that he has not visited at one time or another, but to none has he ever been known to go more than once. On the other hand, his wife does not care for a fresh place each holiday season. She Is In love with the east coast, and thinks there is no place in the world for a holiday equal to Cro mer. She would be quite happy to go there every year if only her wander ing husband as she calls him would be agreeable. But be will never listen to this, so that If she is not prepared to accompany him to a resort which he has never seen before her only alter native Is to remain at home. She has often threatened to go where she wants and leave her husband to do likewise, but so far has never done so. Another good lady, residing in Man chester, has trouble with her lord and master over a different matter. For upward of twenty-two years he has had what be calls a "holiday suit" which he has worn during every vaea tionthat he has had since he bought It ThU rait he has never bad on his bac'i at any other time, but during his an-1 nual holiday he cannot be Induced to wear any other. As his wife tells him, It Is In that that he is seen morn ing, noon aud night as If he had not another suit of clothes to put on. As a matter of fact, he has no other with him, for, despite all his better halfs remonstrances, he cannot be perfuaded to take more clothes than his holiday suit when he leave.) homo for his annual outing. This is rather a 6ore point with the wife, for Pho In-1 feists on being well dressed and 6ees to j It that she has no lack of changes of , raiment even If her husband refuses to encumber himself with one. Some men have a mania for disap pearing during their annual holiday, leaving no trace of their wheraboutsj behind. A very busy Loudon merchant does this every season, and for c space of a month not even his wife and fam ily have the remotest Idea where he could be found. He leaves by himself und comes back by himself, and he brings nothing with him that gives the least clow to where he has spent his holiday. This man's business friends often chaff him about where he goes, but none of them has ever yet been able to glean anything of the secret His wife and family have long since ceased to exhibit any curiosity regarding it rec ognizing that It is good for him to have a month's rest in a year from the or dinary worries of his life. I RESTORED CONFIDENCE. Mrs. Potter had spent a week at the mountains, and naturally her neighbors plied her with questions as to what she had seen and how she had enjoyed her visit. "We all know you're fond o' your house and home," said one of the neighbors, "but wasn't It a kind of a relief not to have to think of washing and Ironing and baking and sweeping for a good long week and Just feast your eyes on views and sights?" . "Tes," said Mrs. Potter, with an ab sent-minded expression, "of course the mountain views are grand. I took a good look at 'em morning and night, and sometimes between." "For the land's sake!" cried the neighbor. "What did you do the rest part o' the day?" "Well," said Mrs. Potter, looking as If she had been detected In a crime, "that woman we boarded with, she'd been using some kind of washing-powder that had eaten holes In her clothes and table-IInen, and she didn't kno.w how to make her own yeast, nor she didn't understand the Ins an' outs of a boiled, dinner. "She had only been married a year, and she was brought up away from New England, so you couldn't expect anything different. But as I said to Anna, my duty lay clear before me. " 'You take In the mountain views,' I said, 'and I'll see what I can do at the kitchen end o' the house.' "To tell the truth," and little Mrs. Potter looked as nearly defiant as was possible to a woman of her size and with her features, "those mountains kind of overbore me, but that kitchen made me feel as If I was some account after all 1" Natural Detective Force.

Washington Post. The Deantjr of the Snowflake. The thin snow now driving from the north and lodging on my coat consists of those beautiful star crystals, thin and partly tranparent. They are about one-tenth of an inch In diameter, per fect little wheels with six spokes, with out a tire, or, rather, with six perfect little leaflets, fernlike, with a distinct, straight, slender midrib raying from the center. On each side of each mid rib there Is a transparent, thin blade !th a crenate edge. How full of the creativegenlus Is the air In which these are generated!
