An Evildoer' Medicine, One Doee f Which la Uaually Enouoh. Thcro are moro ways tbnn ono to punish evildoers. ' Did you ever bear or chastising a wife beater by means of "rough music?" No, this la not a reference to the phonograph record which the children bare played with. U Is even worse. It lias been In use in the southern counties of England for ot least four centuries, and it is so effective that it is likely to persist for several centuries to come. The one disadvantage of this method of pun ishment Is that It punishes the victim qulto as much ns it does the guilty party. It ts inflicted on men and wo men alike, but it is most merciless when it is directed against the hen pecked husband. lVliAn H la tlin pnnspngus of opinion h, Diiiono Hint n man or woman 1 Surfaces of the System.

Doctors pre scribed local remedies, and by constant ly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly Influenced by con stitutional conditions and therefore re quires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. f'hpnev & Co.. Toledo.

Suddenly they break forth with a raucous, deafening din. When the rest of the village has been aroused and there is a sufficiently large audience the wit of tho "rough musia band" lays the chargo against the of fender in verses that are not usually distinguished for refinement and con sideration. After this has been done the band marches to every tavern in town, where the charges are repeated.

In English dictionaries we find the word serein defined as a fine rain which sometimes falls from a clear sky shortly after sunset. The word is French, hut has become the interna tional designation In meteorological works for this alleged phenomenon, which ts always described as quite rare, lias the phenomenon a real exist ence? The fact that a stereotyped descrip tion of It has been passed on from one meteorological writer to another since the latter part of tho eighteenth con nry is by no means conclusive evidence on this point, for science has perpetu ated many myths by tho process of : reiteration. Professor Qustnv Hellnmim, in a re cent publication of the Husslan Mete orological Instilutc, sees In the concep tion of the serein merely Hie survival of the old fashioned belief that even ing dew falls from the (clear) sky, and f ho Qnds that the serein of early French " writers was Identical with that "even- ' lug dampness" which was supposed to bo Injurious to human health. ! It still remains possible that roln may sometimes fall from a clear sky, ' though this Is not likely to be a pho . nomelion peculiar to the early evening. ' Borne enscs can be explained as due to tho obllqtio falling of raindrops, carried horizontally by the wind, when the clouds from which they came have passed awny.-Clcvoland Plain Dealer.

The Chesterfield blend is an entirely new com " bination of tobaccos. This blend is the most important ' new development in cigarette making in 20 years. As a result, Chesterfields produce a totally new kind of cigarette enjoyment they satisfy! Just like "bite" before bedtime satisfies when you're hungry. . But with all that, Chesterfields are MILD, tool This new enjoyment (satisfy, yet mild) comes ONLY in Chesterfields because no cigarette maker can copy the Chesterfield blend. fittjHifsneSaixo Or.
