Repartee that Hurt.

A correspondent at Ithaca, N. Y., sends the Record the following streetcar Incident: One of the last sharp November days a boy entered the car leaving the door open, much to the discomfort of an old gentleman who sat next. As the wind chilled his marrow his temper rose. Leaning across his seat and taking the kid by his ear, he said: “Were you brought up in a barn? Why don’t you shut the door?” The boy said nothing, but closed the door, coming back to his seat in tears. This sight moved the old man to relenting pity. ‘‘There, there,” he said, “little man, I didn’t really mean you were brought up In a barn.” “That’s just it,” retorted the kid. “I was brought up in a barn, arid every time I see a jackass it makes me think of it?’—Philadelphia Record.

Miles of Potatoes.

Everybody knows that the John A.' Salzer Seed Co., Txt Crosse, Wis., are the largest seed potato growers in the world, so when their president, Henry A. Salzer, recently purchased 21,000 acres more of ideal potato land, all wondered what for. Well, it is for potatoes—miles and miles of potatoes.

j j / wT/Ts WMifiS I W Rev. Marguerite St. Omer Briggs, 35 Mount Calm Street, Detroit, Michigan, Lecturer for the W. C. T. U., recommends Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : My professional work has for the past twenty years brought me into hundreds of homes of sickness, and I have had plenty of opportunity to witness the sufferings of wive# and mothers who from want, ignorance or carelessness, are slowly but surely being dragged to death, principally with female weakness and irregularities of the sex. I believe you will be pleased to know that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has cured more women than any other agency that has come under my notice. Hundreds of women owe their life and health to you to-day, and, therefore, I can conscientiously advise sick women to try it.”—Marguerite St. Omer Briggs. SSOOO FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE. When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruacionweakness, leucorrhcea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing dowu feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, tney should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. Sho has guided thousands to herJth.

Marriage Is a Lottery.

"Marriage is truly a lottery to the Chinese girl, for she knows not what she is getting until she is actually married,” writes Sui Sin Far, in the Ladles’ Home Journal. “Sometimes it is a kind, good husband, an amiable mother-in-law, and much comfort! sometimes it is a tyrant, a mother-in-law who is eternally scolding, and a life that Is a weariness to both flesh and spirit. The ceremonies of betrothal and marriage cause much, trouble and anxiety. The young man’s family begin the negotiations. They engage a go-between, to call on the girl’s family and tender a proposal of marriage. If the"young man is considered eligible by the girl’s parents they consult a fortune-teller, who decides whether betrothal would be proper, if his decision is favorable the go-between is given a card on which is marked the hour, day, month and year when the girl was born. This is delivered to -the young man’s family, who in their turn consult a fortuneteller. If he also pronounces favoramp a festival is held by both families, the betrothal contract is signed, and the bridegroom makes a present to the bride of a pair of bracelets, but neither he nor she is present. The betrothal, however, Is not considered binding until a pasteboard card has been interchanged by the families. The bridegroom’s family provide two of these cards, one having a gilt dragon on Its face, the other a gilt phoenix. The phoenix card is retained by the young man’s family as evidence of his engagement, while the dragon card is kept by the girl’s family. The betrothal is then complete.”

Marshfield, Mo., Jan. 20.—Mr. J. F. King of this place makes the following statement: ............ '_ “I have suffered untold agony for twenty years with Lamp Back and Acute Kidney Disease, and in that time have never been two days together clear of misery, and for some of the time I could not walk a step or even sit up. “Last spring, after trying many doctors and every remedy that could be thought of, I began a treatment of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. The good results were almost Immediate and for the last seven months I have seen more comfort and pleasure than I have for twenty years before. “Any one with Kidney Disease or Lame- Back that will not try Dodd’s Kidney Pills deserves to suffer.”

WHAT SETTLERS IN SASKATCHE WAN VALLEY HAVE TO SAY.

Formerly from the United States. Rosthern, J,uly 8, 1000. Frank Pedley, Esq., Superintendent of Immigration: Sir—We, the undersigned, settlers in Saskatchewan, township 43, range 6, beg to submit the following letter. We came from Springfield, Bonhomme County, South Dakota, in the spring of 1899, and settled where we now reside. We had considerable crop last year we put in on new breaking, and It was very good, and this year, 1900, our crop is excellent. Our wheat will yield about twenty bushels to the acre, the oats arid barley are also very good, and our potatoes and root crop all that could be desired. We consider thia a fine country, and ate glad we came, as our prospects could not be better. A poor man will get a start in this country much quicker than in Dakota. We are yours respectfully, John H. Schultz, H. A. Goshen, S. Gors, B. H. Dirks, C. D. Unry, P. Unry, A. Ratzlief, all from South Dakota, U. S. A.

Black Mammy.

If Father tells me no, I cari’t. And says he means it, too, So run and find my blocks and things, Or something nice to do, Why, then I tease, and tease and tease, Till, he gets awful mad And says do anything I please But whine and be so bad. When Mother tells me Neddy dear Can’t have that, darling pet, Can have new books and too-too cars If only I won’t fret, Of course I cry, and cry, and cry, Until she’s scared I’m sick, And then she tells me yes, I can, And gives it to me quick. But if Black Mammy says I can’t, Why, then’s the time I know ’Twon’t help a bit to kick or scream Or pout or puff or blow; ’Cause Mammy laughs, and laughs, and laughs, Until she gets me cross, And says, “You Albert Edward Smith, You ain’t nobody’s boss.” —Woman’s Home Companion.

Nasal Catarrh quickly yields to treatment by Ely’s Cream Balm, which isagreeably aromatic. It is received through the nostrils, cleanses and heals the whole surface over which it diffuses itself. Our plan is to give every one a chance to try the merit of Cream Balm for the cure of Catarrh, Hay Fever and Cold in the Head, by mailing for 10 cents a trial size to test Its curative powers. We mall the 50-cent size also and the druggist ke.eps it. Test it and you are sure to continue the treatment. Relief Is immediate and a cure Ely Brothers, 56 Warren street, New York. A remedy for Nasal Catarrh which is drying or exciting to the diseased membrane should not be used.

He said he knew girls liked to have it to say that they had had a great many offers, and that he should not despair, but he hoped that when I had refused enough proposals to satisfy me I would intimate the fact to him In some way, and then he would propose again, and we could be married quietly and settle down. Do you think it would be forward in me to let him know that I have now refused all the offers I care to?” —Leslie’s Weekly.

PARLIAMENTARY AMENITIES.

Enlivening Methods of Debate in the Austrian Reichsrath. To-day, in the Austrian Reichsrath. an interchange of abusive epithets was indulged In by the socialists and antiSemites, such as has not been heard since the days of the Pan-Gertnanic obstruction. Even in the height of that exciting time such expressions of insult were neVer echoed by the walls of the House as was the case to-day. The cause of the disgraceful scene was a question put by a socialist, Dr. Ellenbogen, who characterized the proceedings of the anti-Semites at an election for a municipal functionary as deceitful. “Impudence!” shouted the anti-Sem-ites, and Herr Schumeier, a socialist, retorted: “It was nevertheless a swindle.” Dr. Gessman, an anti-Semite, hereupon shouted: “You socialists are all vagabonds and swindlers.” The greatest confusion prevailed, and the president persistently rang his bell. The following elegant dialogue was heard above the din: Schumeier (to Gessman)—You’re a university-trained scoundrel. Gessman—You are all a pack of thieves. You common fellows He about your past. Ellenbogen—You steal kreutzers from the pockets of the workmen. We only ask for our rights. Cries were now heard from the socialists: “Turn out the impudent Jew!” A scuffle began between the two contending parties, and efforts were made to separate them. The president called them to order and asked': “Are you not ashamed thus to degrade the dignity of the house?” Gessman (furiously to Schumeier) — Infamous wretch! Cowardly rogue! You belong to the Wurstel Prater—(a popular place of amusement.) Schumeier—lmpudent rascal! Swindle! with a doctor’s hat! Corn extractor! This astonishing scene was brought to a close by a voice loudly quoting from Goethe’s “Gotz von Berlichingen.” The lines were heard above the tumult, and caused so much surprise that the noise ceased and business proceeded.—Vienna Correspondence London Telegraph.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure Deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous, .lining of the Eustacldan Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Catarrh has already become a national curse. Its ravages extend from ocean to ocean. More than one-half of the people are affected by it. It has become such a serious matter that it- has passed the boundaries-of the medical-profession. and become-a national question. Senators are talking about it; Congressmen are discussing it. They are not only considering the extent and chronic nature of the disease, but the possibility of finding a national remedy to meet this national calamity. The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems to be the main expectation in this direction. Dr. Hartman, President of the Hartman Sanitarium, devised the remedy, Peruna, over forty years ago, and the
