I have been a great sufferer from
catarrh for over ten years ; had it very
bad,could hardly breathe. Some nights
I could notsleep and had to walk the
floor. I purchased Ely’s Cream Balm
and am using it freely, it is working a
cure surely. I have advised several
friends to use it, and with happy' re--
sults in every case. It is the medicine
above all others for catarrh. and it‘is
worth its weight in gold. I thank God
I have founda remedy I can use with
safety and that does all that is claimed
for it. It is curing my deafness—B.

Encourage Your Boys.
Rippowam gives the following sensi-
bl'e advice in the Stamford Advocate.
' “Don‘t take any stock in what people
may say against foot-ball, or any other
out-door sportneven' if the young fel-
lows do get bruised and scratched occa-
sionally. What finer spectacle is there
than a lot of strong, healthy, spirited
boys, flushed. with the enthusiasm of
youth, engaged in a good, honest, out-
door game ? A boy who freely indulges
in that kind of recreation is usually
a brighter student and will be a better
man than any dude tenderfoot that
ever dawdled in the hothouse of indo-
lence. Encourage‘your boys to train
their muscles as well as their minds.” '

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

medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Hall 8 catarrh cure

The frog’s bones are so soft that he '
scarcely leaves any skeleton.
A frog meets with remarkable
changes during, his natural life. He
begins as an- egg and hatches out as
a. fish. That is, a. tadpole, or polliwog', '
at first has gills, breathing water
alone. In his early days, however, the
tadpole soon loses the outside part of
his gills and breathes air; so that he
has-to come to the surface of the water
.every fewaminutes, like a porpoise, to
get a. fresh gulp of breath.
During the first part of his career, he‘
swims by sculling with. his long tail.
After awhile his legs begin to grow
out, his tail becomes shorter and
shorter, and when ,he is a. complete
frog, he has no tail at all, but swims
by kicking. When half frog and half
tadpole, he still has a good deal of
tail, and, in addition, big- hind legs
and'mere sprouts of fore legs; so that
he is a. very funny-looking fellow. ‘A
bullfrog-tadpole at this stage seems
“neither of heaven nor of earth.”
Again, the tapole eats water-plants;
but when he becomes a. frog, he feeds
on animallife. Tadpoles eat the green
moss or “scum” that we see so often
on logs and plants in a stagnant pack
and they show a good appetite for soft,
decaying water-growths. The fouler
the pool, the happier the tadpoles. As
they are numerous, and thus devour a.
great amount of matter that would
.make it very unhealthful to live near a
stagnant pond, they are really useful
...
, l
creatures. . ,
In captivity they will generally eat
meat, whether good or bad, as well as
bread and bran dough; and, as a spe-
cial relish, will sometimes lunch on
one another’s tails.
The common frog gets his final shape
in the first season; but the bullfrog
goes under the mud for the winter,
while still a. tadpole; and it. takes ‘0
least another summer, and sometimm
more, before he has full right to be
called a. frog. He is some four years
from the egg- when in full growth, and
does not become a bullfrog until ten
years more.
A PERILOUS FLAT.
An Exciting Experience in Colorado Cali-
yon.
In an interesting account of a. jour—
ney through the great canyons of the
Colorado river, Mr. Robert Brewster
Stanton gives in the Cosmopolitan a.
lively. impreSSiOn of the ,danger of
scaling those Tinarble cliffs, “which
Shad Milt-bileto two thousand feet in
verticnligvvwafllfsrwith scarce a. bench or
ledge 1 wide enough for a mountain_
‘ i
sheep." . ..
We carefully pick our way around
the lower points of the marble, up
through a crack some .two hundred
feet in height and out upon a little
ledge perhaps. three feet wide that
runs along the solid wall, till our
progress seems out off by a. sharp but-
tress that projects beyond the ledge.
The buttress is V-shaped, the sharp
point extending out over the bench.
0n the other side of it is the same lit-
-tle ledge.- To reach it calls for
strength of muscle aridfsomething like
the nimbleness of a cat, for with too
of boot and ends of fingers fastened on
little points of marble on one side, it
is necessary to reach just such points
,on the other.
. I hesitate for a. moment, look down .
over the precipice, and carefully calcu-
late how long it would take to reach
the bottom. ' The wild flowers are
blOorDJzig all over the slopes at the foot
'Of the cliff.
We cannot help each other, and
each must stand back while the other
reaches the ledge beyond or the dark
valley below.
Not a. word is spoken. ‘Eacli one ad-
justs his trappings, that nothing may
be out of place. Hislop first swings
around and reaches the ledge in Safe:
ty. I place my foot carefully on the
edge of the wall, close to the buttress,
and secure a good hold with my right
hand. My left foot is thrown round
and my left hand creeps along till it
catches a. little finger of marble which
seems left for the purpose. '
Just as I start to make the leap I am
caught by my coat on the edge of the
marble, and held fast in mid air.
Again I look down, and calculate how
long it' would taketo reach the bot- '
tom. With one strong error: i bend my
back, loose the coat, and saicly land on
the further edge.
Kane has longer arms and legs, and
- in. a moment we are all aroundéithc
buttress, having swung our bodies
clean out in the air, a. thousand feet of
sheer wall below us, and as much more
above. It requires a cool head and‘
steady nerve, for, looking back, we
see it is impossible to return.
-—“How many stories has this build-
ing?” asked the stranger. “Several
thousand,” was v the reply. “What'-
where am I?” “In the fiction depart»
ment ofathe public library." ,
Stylish Weavings. '
Honeycomb patterns, bird’s-eye. de-
signs, hop-sacking, both plain and glace,
' and basket weavings are all represented
in the new woolens, sometimes in a. single
color, sometimes in a melange of .many
colors, in which, however, one of the
new dark shades prevails. Illuminated
stufls and jardiniere effects combine
several colors tastefully in serges, in .
wider diagonals, in repped wools, and
in armure weaving. Small designs in
silk are added to wool in bright-colored
dots, dashes, and what appear to be
stitches taken by hand. Very hand-
some armure woolens have ,wide sel-
vages in light shades to be used as bor-
de trimmings and in cross-rows as in-
sertions are now used. Diagonal stripes
in basket weaving of contrasting colors
are very .pretty indeed. Double-faced
woolens are of harmonious colors, to
be used as facings, one upon the other.
Tobacco brown with blue or with green,
and black ‘with solfei-ino red, are pap—
ular colorings in new woolen—Harp-
er’s Bazaar.
