Tlie readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure uow known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a coustituational dise.iss, requires a constitulatioftal treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surface of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith iu its curative powers, that they Offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Tes'itnonials. Address.

CATS AND DIPHTHERIA.
Evidence That the Animals May Spread the Infection.
The cat is acquiring a bad reputation in Brighton. Dr. Newsholnie, in his recently issued quarterly report, devotes a separate section to a description of an outbreak of suspicious illness among cats in a particular district of the town, and to a warning against keeping cats which are suffering from certain enumerated symptoms. Dr. Newsholme's attention was called to cats by the fact that in the neighborhood between Elm grove and Southover street—a part of Brighton inhabited almost solely by the laboring classes—there had been notified a group of cases of diphtheria in the course of a single fortnight which pointed distinctly to the operation of some local cause. I
The patients comprised both children and adults. They did not attend any particular school there was no comin unity of milk supply personal infection from caso to case could not be
traced,
and no sanitary defects
found in the affected houses. But in each instance thero was a history that the household cat had been ill, and in several families the child who was specially fond of the cat was the sole victim of diphtheria. The illness of thy affected cats had not been carefully observed, but it included one or more of the fol- I lowing symptoms: A bad cough, difficult}- in swallowing, discharge from the nose and marked emaciation. In some of the houses the cat had simply been observed to be wasting, and in several I instances the head of the household vol- I unteered the surmise that "the cat had been poisoned."
In one house, in the center of the affectcd neighborhood, nine live cats were found, and the neighbors stated that iu the previous week a dead cat lay in the yard attached to this house with discharge oo/ing from its nostrils. In another house, a mild case of diphtheria was attributed to the smell arising from a cat which had died in a garden adjoining the house. Four of the emaciated cats referred to above were secured, and necropsy, including a bacteriolog- I ical examination, was made, but with entirely negative results. The illness of the cats in question dated from at least a month before the opportunity for exaniming them arose, so that the negative result is not surprising.
It will be remembered that Dr. Klein, in his investigation inV cat diphtheria, found that the diphtheria infection produced in the cat an acute lung inflammation, the kidneys becoming degenerated in the manner known in man as the "large white kidney. The condition of the household cat is worthy of inquiry in all such local outbreaks as the one briefly described by Dr. Newsholme, and it may be well to remember that if the cat can bo secured for anatomical examination, even in tho acute stage of the disease, there will jirobably be
110
exudation in the throat,
but only marked pneumonia, and possibly also renal inflammation. The publie warning given in Brighton as to cats has had the desired effect, the small outbreak having come to an abrupt termination with the destruction of suspected cats and of many others whoso career has been shortened in consequence of the publicity given to tho facts of tho case.—British Medical Journal.
T.-^e C/.ar'a to an American.
A matter of almost international interest that is known to but a very fe-:' intimate friends of Dr. J. M. Crawford, late consul general to St. Petersburg, is the fact that when he was about to leave Russia and had severed his connection as representative of the United States a number of officials representing tho czar of all the Russians called upon him, and
011
behalf of the emperor presented
Dr. Crawford with what is probably the handsomest set of solid silver service in this city today as a token of the esteem in whish the emperor held the consul general. It will be remembered that in 1892 the United States sent to Russia two shiploads of flour, because the crops there had failed and the peasants were starving. The ships State of Missouri and State c? Indiana were dispatched there with cargoes of flour as a trift from north

An old sea salt declared the other day that a little scraping and overhauling would put her in a
The Tricycle Showing Itseir. Some women who cannot master tho bicycle, or who are rather averse to its conspicuoushess—though a thing that is as common as the bicycle no longer dosorves the adjective in its pure senseare finding a compromise in the tricycle. This machine is in some evidence again, and as its constmction has taken on all the modern improvements except the loss of one wheel it is a happy way out

BACK
THE OCEAN.
The Gigantic Work of Iieclaiming Sabmerged Land In Holland. The people of Holland have undertaken a gigantic work by means of which they expect to recover the larger part of the territory now covered by the Zuyder Zee, the inland sea of the country, and turn it again into a fertile farming region. It is now just five centuries since the inundation of that part of the Netherlands now covered by the Zuyder Zee was completed, the encroachments of the sea having been going on for 225 years, previous to which timo the territory was covered with forests.
By tho most stupendous exertions about 330 square miles of country have already been recovered by an elaborate dike system, which lias gradually reclaimed section after section that was lost, but the new scheme transcends the previous work in extent and importance. The towns of tho region, which had become of considerable importance as seaports through the bringing of the waters of the ocean to their doors, have lost considerable of that importance through 1 the difficulties of navigation and the 1 transfer of tho trade to the North Holland canal and the ship c.anal, which
connects the metropolis with the ocean. On this account the remnants of commerce are not worth as much to the towns as tho country would be after it is reclaimed, and therefore there is general acqaiesoneo in tho plan to drive tho ocean out.
On account of the great cost it will be distributed over a period of 35} years, so as to make it less oppressive and to make the benefits gradually bear thenshare of the expense. A colossal sea wall is first to be built from North Holland to Friesland, shutting out the tides of tho ocean. This wall §2111 be 21(1 feet wide at the base, and the top will bo 17 feet above the sea level, while along the inner side and at some distance below tho top will be a track wide enough for a wagon road and a railway.
After the sea. is barred out tho inclose,d space to be reclaimed will inclose within .separate «»bankment.s four areas con- I taining in tho aggregate 750 square miles. One of these areas will be first 1 drained by pumping the water over tho embankment., tho water finding its way to the sea through the main channel, and as the shallower portions became exposed they will bo successively brought under cultivation. It is calculated that within ten years 2.",090 acres can be in the end 1 to a channel about lo miles wide c:illed tho Ysselmeer, communicating with tho sea by locks at Wieringen, with Amsterdam by a branch three miles wide and by another with the mouth of the Yssel. The plan has received tho sanction of the government, and tho engineers pronounce it feasible. —Milwaukee Journal.

Travels of a i'iistal trd.
Tho Bombay Time states that a post card which, posted in Madras on tho 4th of January, 1887, was delivered in Bombay a few days ago. Tho history is in post marks.
Addressed to a firm in Mount road, Madras, the obliterating stamp is dated "Vepery, 4 Jan. '87." The next stamp bears the words, "First delivery, Mt. Road, 5 Jan., '87."
Tho card then acquired the legend, "Not in Mt. Road," and back it went to the chief ofiice, whose stamp it bears. A number of initials on the card and a multiplicity of postmarks indicate that it had sevt-ral times been sent out after this to find an owner, and a rough hole in the center suggests that the postmaster, a careful though despairing man, was eventually compelled to lilo the document fur reference.
On tho 24tli of April last there was evidentlj- a "spring cleaning" in the Madras postofiice, for the card was then withdrawn from the file, and the bold words "Try Bombay" added to the many legends on the side which is intended only for the address.
It reached Bombay on the :.\Sth of April, and after its long hibernation tho message reached a well known firm of Bombay photographers.
The eight,-year-old message l-uns as I follows: "1 would bo much obliged if you would take my daughter's photo on I Thursday morning. I leave Madras on Friday morning.''
Why Dentistry Pays at the Seashore. The number of dentists' signs on the houses and office buildings in all the Jersey seashoro resorts is such as to excite wonder. As one touri recently expressed it, "One would think the people of New York went thero to have their teeth attended to.'' Between Seabright
and Ocean Grove there are as many
as should expect to find-occupa
tion iu a city of considerable size. "The fact is," said one of the dentists, "that not only the New Yorkers, but tho Pliiladolphians and plenty of folks from other cities as well, do come here to have their teeth fixed. They do not know it when they arrange to go to the seaside, but they find it out when they get here, and their teeth begin to throb with pain. Tho reason is that the change of air, the tonic effect of the chango and tho active, invigorating outdoor life which the summer idlers lead strengthens and stimulates them. Their hearts work quicker and with more strength, and if there is a weak spot anywhere about them the pressure of the excited circulation calls it into notice. So it is that teeth which gavo no trouble in tho cities throb with pain at the seashore. "—New York Sun.
