A Hotel-keeper in Brusels hotel was obliged the other day to buy eighty pairs of shoes for his guests. The porter had decamped with that number placed in his charge. Photographers, in their constant' study of the face, find that the left side makes the more pleasant picture, and the profile as seen from the left gives more correct likeness than when viewed from the right.

The prosperity of a town is not to bo gaged by wealth of its inhabitants, but the uniformity with which they work together when any important undertaking is to lie accomplished.

It is said that Eaton has entered the race with Spicelaud and Greentown for the pennant as the most moral town. The absence of saloons is given as the reason for such absolute inactivity on the part of sin and sinners. The old story about hearing a pin drop seems to be an actual reality in the three towns about mentioned. A few months ago, Mr. Byron Every of Woodstock, Mich., was badly afflicted with rheumatism. His right leg was swollen the full length, caustng him great suffering. He was advised to try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm.

I have given Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a fair trial and consider it one of the very best remedies for croup that I have ever founk. One dose has always been sufficient, although I use it freely.

A Louisville butcher by the name of Seifried is the originator of a chemical process which he claims will freeze articles better than ice and will in time displace the frozen water for cooling purposes. He places a mixture of chemicals beneath an icc box. The vapors which arise float through a hole beneath the box and a heavy frost forms about a metal box inside of which is meat, etc., and there it is kept at a regulated temperature. Dr. Hurty, of the state board of health, says that for every 100 soldiers that would go to Cuba at this time of year 80 coffins will be needed, owing to yellow fever and other tropical diseases. In other words he believes microbes are more dangerous than bullets. As to the return of the bodies to the United States, he said that they could be safely returned if scientific embalmers were taken along with the army. Dr. Hurty is against war. A number of pigeons belonging to the Homing club of Ft. Wayne, were shipped to Keystone and released Monday morning. While the birds were trying to get their direction a lad living in the little town spied them and fired a number of charges of bird shot into the covey. Six of the birds were injured and seven killed. The pigeons were released at N:3O o’clock, but did not arrive in Ft. Wayne until 12 o'clock. They were frightened by the shots and lost much time in getting their directions. Last week’s Bluffton Banner has the following account of one of their citizens who has changed his mind about hunting gold: Harry Gettle who started to the northwest a few weeks ago with the Klondike as a possible destination returned to this city last Thursday. He spent a part of that | time in Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago and several smaller places. The j reason because he did not continue his journey to the Klondike after ! reaching Seattle was that he met so | many people coming back from that I dreary land of promise. Mr. Ward L. Smith, of Frederickstown. Mo., was troubled with chronic diarrhoea for over thirty years. He had become fully satisfied that it was only a question of a short time until he would have to give up. He had been treated by some of the best physicians in Europe and America but got no permanent relief. One day he picked up a newspaper and chanced to read an advertisement of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He got a bottle of it, the first dose helped him and its continued use cured him. For sale by Smith & Yager. f

The Host Favorable Season. To euro catarrh is in the spring. During the winter the patient is likely to take fresh cold and have a set-back. But if treatment is begun in the spring and continued into the summer, nothing need Ire feared for the succeeding winter. Os course, it all depends on the medicine. There are a great many catarrh medicines which relieve the most disagreeable symptoms temporarily. Pe-ru-na cures more slowly but also more permanently than this class of medicines. A course of Pe-ru-na during the spring will cure catarrh more quickly than at anyotherseason. Mr. Walter H. Tucker,Concord, N. H.. writes Dr. Hartman as follows: “When years ago I was suffering with chronic catarrh. I had taken nearly twodozen bottles of a so-called catarrh cure without much relief. Pe-ru-na cured the night sweats and dizziness; it cured the cough I have had from my cradle; I can say it saved my life.” Dr. Hartman has published a book from a series of lectures on various phases of chronic catarrh, which he calls “Winter Catarrh”. This book will be sent free to any address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio. The new gas company which is being formed to compete with the Ft. Wayne Gas company, expects to pip' gas to Ft. Wayne and furnish the people up there with gas at a reasonable rate.

Beats the Klondike.- Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville, Tex., has found a more valuable discovery than has yet been made in Klondike.
