The 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 now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be
ing a constitutional disease, re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces 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 in its curative pow

MILE-A-MINUTE WATER RI&E
Kotor Boat Invented by Frenchman
Goes at Express Train
Speed.
Among the many interesting experi
ment with motor boats, says the Lon
don Mail, perhaps the most pictur
esque were those on the Seine at
Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert,
in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion
and Bouton, brought out their bateau
glisseur, or gliding boat. It is also
called a hydroplane, and that name is
really indicative of its construction.
With a De Dion 14-horse power mo
tor, the count attained a speed of 28
kilometers an hour in his first ex
periments, and now he has added to
that speed and has made 32 Kilome
ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
The inventor of this hydroplane is
not, however, content with this, and
will try in a day or two to raise the
speed to 3Er or even 40 kilometers, or
25 miles an hour, or a speed that is
not exceeded by the use of a 40-horse
power motor.
The boat itself is 36 feet long and
nine feet wide. To the bottom of the
boat are affixed five planes or fins.
When the boat is stationary these fins
hang vertically in the water. They
are hinged, however, and are all under
control of the driver. When the mo
tor is set in motion and the boat
begins to move these planes, begin
ning at the bow, are gradually given
a backward angle. The boat rises in
the water and then gradually rests
upon it, with the stem of the boat
only immersed. The speed increases,
and the boat, following the inclination
of the planes, glides along the surface
of the water just as an aeroplane
glides on the air, and with not much
more resistance.
It is confidently expected that with
an increased horse-power motor the
hydroplane will reach a speed of 60
miles an hour.
TO AUCTION QUEEN’S GOODS
All Furniture and Treasures of Isa
bella of Spain Except Personal
Jewels to Go Under Hammer.
It has been decided that the personal
jewels of the late Queen Isabella of
Spain, who for many years lived in
Paris, will not be sold as expected.
The casket containing the precious
stones, necklaces, etc., has been pro
visionally deposited at a bank, and as
soon as the affairs of the late queen are
cleared up and the contents of her pal
ace disposed of# the Comte Quiaqui,
who has charge* of all these matters,
will distribute the jewels among the
royal family of Spain.
On the other hand, the furniture, ob
jects of art and all the other treasures
in the Palais de Castille, Queen Isa
l 11 _ i v.__ ■_ 11. > fT' I aViak nn

posite the united States embassy, will
be sold at public auction.
The Marquis de Cuellar has gone to
San Sebastian to consult King Alfon
so’s wishes on the subject and the auc
tion will probably take place early in
the autumn. The catalogue is being
prepared.
It is well known that the contents of
the Palais de Castille are marvels of
beauty and worth and constitute a veri
table museum. Several offers have
been made for the palace itself and the
surrounding gardens, but nothing defi
nite has yet been accepted. The estate
covers 4,600 square yards of land,
valued at $160 to $200 a yard.
HAS FEW TRADE FACILITIES
Mobile Merchant Experiences Diffi
culties in Getting Goods to Cap
ital of Guatemala.
A Mobile merchant sold some cotton
goods not long ago to be delivered at
Guatemala City. Within 300 feet of his
warehouse a steamer was loading for
Puerto Barrios, whence runs a railway
to within 60 miles of the Guatemalan
capital. To reach the latter the goods
would have to be packed over the moun
tains by Indians or on muleback. The
merchant found it cheaper to ship by
way of San Francisco, thence by boat to
San Jose, Guatamala, and to the cap
ital by rail. New Orleans, terminus of
the Southern Pacific, is almost next door
to Mobile. New York, however, en
joyed a cheaper rate because there was
competition with the routes across the
Atlantic and thence round Cape Horn.
So the goods were sent by boat to New
York, thence by boat back to New Or
leans, and thence on their way, going
nearly 10,000 ^miles instead of 1,100 by
the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil
ity to get at the west coast markets has
done much to keep American goods out
of them. Guatamala has now arranged
for the speedy completion of the rail
way from the Caribbean to the capital,
and a cheap direct route will thus be
opened. - >

ODD FANCIES ABOUT BEES.
Old-Time Belief That Honey Was of
Celestial Origin and Other
Queer Notions.
In these days of scientific bee cul
ture, when bees are trained to pack
their honey in pound boxes ready for
market, and are as much under the
control of the beemaster as sheep are
of their shepherd, it is difficult to
realize what quaint delusions prevailed
only a few centuries back in every
thing relating to the hive and its in
habitants, says the Chicago Daily
News. The sources and composition
of honey were subjects for many in
genious speculations. One old writer
affirms it to be “made of the ayre.
most of all at the rising of the starres,
chiefly the dogge shining out early in
the morning,” although he admits him
self in doubt as to “whether it be the
sweate of the heavens or a certaine
spittle of the starres or a juyce that the
ayre purgeth from liimselfe.” This be
lief in the celestial origin of honey
runs through all the old treatises on
apiculture, from the time of Virgil
downward. It was supposed to be a
kind of manna from heaven, and its
quality depended greatly on the favor
able or unfavorable juxtaposition of the
stars at the time of its descent. ■
Although the existence in each hive
of one bee much larger than all the
others was generally recognized in old
en times, this was believed to be mere
ly a ruler or king over the rest. That
the large bee was actually the mother
of the whole colony never seems to
have occurred to anyone until recent
times. This king bee is very fanci
fully described as having “a lofty pace
and countenance expressing majesty,
and a white spot in his forehead glis
tening like a diadem.” In each hive,
also, there were “subordinate govern
ors and leaders and captains and
colonels, marked by crests, tufts or tas
sels on their heads, some yellow, some
murrey.” Among various other duties
it was the king's part to go out each
evening in search of any bees that had
not returned to the hive by sunset, and
to show them the way home.
From the earliest times honey ap
pears to have been held in extraor
dinary favor as a universal specific for
human ills. As a hair restorer it was
largely recommended, rubbed in plen
tifully night and morning, and if dead
bees were dried, pounded and worked
up into a thick paste with the honey,
its hair-producing capabilities were
much" enhanced. This mess had to be
plastered on the bald places of the head
over night, with infallible results in.
the morning, if one may credit a cer
tain fifteenth century writer. For
weak eyes the same authority says to
take a handful of the heads of bees,
burn them, and mingle the ashes with
honey gathered in the dog days. The
eyes were then anointed liberally with
the mixture, and clearness of vision
was the invariable reward.
m me oiu nays tne situation or a
beehive was a matter of prime impor
tance. It was to be placed always on
the south side of a stream of water,
and never in a place where there were
echoes, as an echo was very injurious
to bees. A little gravel was to be put
down in the neighborhood of the hives,
as in windy weather the bees needed
small stones to carry about in their
flight as counterpoises. The beekeeper
was recommended to shave and keep
his head close-cropped, long hair on
head or face being extremely offensive
to his charges, and in attire he was to
avoid anything of a red color, as this
was detrimental to the bees.
CURIOUS WORMS OF NORWAY
They Gather in Great Numbers Form
ing a Serpent-Like Mass
When Migrating.
The Sciaras, of the genus Tiplux, a tiny
wormlike creature which is found in
the forests of Norway and Hungary dur
ing the month of July or early in August,
gather in huge numbers preparatory to
migrating in search of food or for a
change of conditions. When setting out
on this journey, says Nature, they stick
themselves together by means of some
glutinous matter, and form a huge ser
pentlike mass, often reaching a length
of between 40 and 50 feet and several
inches in thickness. As the scaria is
only on an average of about three-thir
ty-seconds of an inch in length, with no
appreciable breadth whatever, the num
ber required to form a continuous line
of the size above mentioned is incal
culable.
Their pace is, of course, very slow,
and upon meeting an obstacle, such as
a stick or stone, they either writhe over
or around it, sometimes breaking into
two bodies for the purpose. A celebrated
French naturalist says that if the rear
portion of this snakelike procession be
brought into contact with the front part
the insects will keep moving round in
that circle for hours, never seeming to
realize that they are getting no further
on their Journey. If the portions be
broken in two the procession will unite
in a short time. When the peasant meets
one of these processions he will lay some
obstacle In front of it. If it passes over
it it is a good omen.
The Leopard of the Snows.
When we look at the leopards in a
menagerie our minds instinctively turn
to pictures of the hot tropics and the tor
rid lands of the equator. But there are
leopards that love the snow, and never
willingly descend below the levels
where snowstorms occur in summer as
well as in winter. The New York Zoo
logical park possesses, pt present, a
beautiful specimen of the “snow leop
ard,” whose home is among the lofty
mountains about Thibet. Thousands of
tanned skins of the snow leopard are
earrled to Shanghai for sale, but the iiv
tng animal is rarely seen away from his
cool mountain home.—Youth’s Compan
ion.

PARACAMPH CURES
BHETJMATISK.
Ocwt Nothing If it Fail*.
Any honest person who suffers with
Rheumatism is authorized to go to their
druggist today and get a bottle of Para
camph, use as directed, and if it fails to
do exactly what we claim, go back to
their druggist and get their money. Par
acamph is recommended as a modern
scientific treatment for all Rheumatic
Swellings and Neuralgic troubles. It re
lieves on Nature’s plan. That is when
applied it opens the pores, penetrates
directly to the seat of theailmentsoothing
the inflamed skin, muscles and joints re
ducingt he swelling by removing the con
gestion, drawing out the fever and inflam
mation by inducing sweating. It sweats
the disease out of the body through
the pores of the skin. This is why Para
camph is superior to the many internal
strong, drastic drugs that upset the stom
ach, shatter the nerves, and undermine
the general health. Our guarantee is
made to convince you of our faith in Par
acamph. We have of course, tested its
merits thoroughly in many and various
cases. We know therefore exactly what
it will do. So don’t hesitate, but get a
bottle of Paracamph today, and after two
or three applications you will be convinced
that we claim only for Paracamph exactly
what it will do.
Paracamph is sold only in 25 cent, 50

are cheaper for family use. Write for
