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
ers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi
monials.

MILE-A-MINUTE WATER RIDE
I Motor Boat Invented by Frenchman
k Goes at Express Train
^ Speed.
HVmung the many interesting experi
ments with motor boats, says the Lon
Pron 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.
Tue inventor of this hydroplane is
not, however, content with this, and
will try in a day or two to raise the
speed to 3^ or even 40 kilometers, or
26 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 stern 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 bO
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
bella’s home in the Avenue Kleber, op
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 Guatamalan
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
i + ai hv rail TMptv Orlpnns tflrmlrms nf
the Southern Pacific-, i,s 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. •

ASPARAGUS HAS A LINEAGE
Romans Held Vegetable in High Es
teem Many Years Before
Christ.
Of all food plants there is none which
has been so long known or been pos
sessed of so distinguished a lineage &
the asparagus. Its records reach bach
almost to the beginning of authentic his
tory, and it is mentioned by the comic
poet Cratinus, who died about 425 B. C
The Romans held the vegetable in high
esteem. The elder Cato wrote a work
which is still extant, “De re Rustica,’
and it treats at length of the virtues and
proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny
in his natural history, written about
60 A. D., has much to say about it. He
feelingly observes: “Of all the products
of your garden your chief care should be
asparagus,” and he devotes several
chapters to its many good qualities ant
the best methods of raising it. He as
serts that the soil about Ravenna was sc
favorable to its production that three
heads grown in that district had beer
known to weigh a Roman pound. This
pound seems to have been about equal
to 11 ounces in our day, so it would ap
parently have taken four of the stalks
to have reached a pound of our weight
The asparagus being essentially s
southern plant, It is possible that the
stock growing in Italy was of a more
vigorous growth than that of our north
ern clime. It. is found all around the
shores of the Mediterranean and
branches off into four or five distinci
species besides the one ordinarily usee
for edible purposes.

BIG BEE RANCH IN ’FRISCO
Public School Principal of Coast City
Harvests a Third of a Ton
of Honey a Season.
There is a bee ranch with more thai
1,000,000 bees in the heart of one of the
densest residence districts of San Fran
cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior, prin
cipal of a public school, and is in the
little back yard of his home. For ter
years he has kept his bees there, has
harvested about a third of a ton o:
honey each season and has been at nc
expense for food for his interesting anc
industrious pets. Although it is a dis
tance of two and one-half miles fron
the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park
the bees make the trip there, coilec
loads of honey and get back to the hive
in two minutes, making a bullet-likc
flight at the surprising rate of 150 miles
an hour. Mr. Prior has demonstratec
this by having an observer watch cer
tain bee-favored places in the park anc
exactly timing the arrival there of bees
he purposely sprinkled with flour as
they issued from a hive. He has alsc
kept time on the absence of the whitenec
bees.
BIG PROFIT IN BATHHOUSE
Average New York Seashore Resort
Receives Nearly $2,000 a Day
for Rooms Alone.
If you doubt that the nickel and quar
ter business doesn’t pay, consider th<
money-making propensities of the aver
age seashore bathhouse around New
York, and make over your opinion. A
representative bathing pavilion has
1,500 bath compartments. It costs 2f
cents to rent one. On a medium hoi
summer’s day some $800 are derivec
from renting these rooms, for the com
partments are used in the course of thr
day by about 4.000 persons. Bathins
suits rent for 25 cents each. Then
would be 8,000 of them for such a pavil
ion, which means $1,000 a day if half ol
them are rented once; and it is fair tc
assume that three-fourths of the 4,00(
bathers pay five cents for the use of s
comb and brush—$150. A total of near
ly $2,000, to say nothing of the proceeds
from restaurant, bar, barber shop and
indoor baths.

A CORD OF COMFORT
To the Distressed.
Fortunately for those suffering with
Rheumatism in all its various forms, in.
eluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and
Sore Feet, a remedy has been discovered
by modern science which in every instance
effects a speedy and positive cure. This
new remedy is founded on scientific prin
ciples which are acknowledged by the
medical world as the only correct treat
ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgic troubles.
Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef
fect a cure without upsetting the stomach.
As a rule, they injure the digestive organs,
shatter the nerves, and in many instances
the patient contracts a drug habit which
leads eventually to a decline of the physi
cal and mental forces.
Paracamph is the new remedy and it is
a departure from the antiquated methods.
Paracamph enters into the system through
the natural channels, namely, the pores
' of the skin. "When applied it opens the
pores and allows the healing, soothing oils
1 to penetrate the sore, inflamed mebranes
1 and muscles, removes the congestion and
' draws out the fever and inflammation, by
inducing sweating. This is the only treat
ment that can be indorsed by science, and
is guaranteed to cure even the most obsti
nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used
as directed. Paracamph can be procured
at drug stores in 25 cent, and 50 cent, and
$1.00 bottles. Write for book of testimo
• nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company

SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.
The largest irrigation enter
prise in America is located in the
rich Snake River valley of Idaho,
which has been reclaimed
through man’s handi-work^alone.
In this valley which is now com
j fortably settled, there remains
270,000 acres of land belonging
to the state of Idaho, which is
under the Twin Falls irrigation
canals and open to settlement.
This land is among the richest in
America, as experiments have
proved. Potatoes here yield 200
to 400 bushels to the acre of
large size and fine variety. Wheat
yields from 40 to 70 bushels to
the acre with an average weight
of 63 pounds per bushel. Three
crops of alfalfa are raised each
season in the Snake River valley.
The climate is superb and of
^reat value as a tonic for mind
ind body. Home-seekers’ low
rates to the Snake River valley
are in effect via Union Pacific,
the only direct route. Why not
visit this district in person and
fully realize its great possibili
ties? For full information ad
