In the official announeement concerning the. sirdar's peerage it is explained that the queen's wishes would have been notified at an earlier date but for the temporary breakdown of 'telegraphic <‘Qinmunicatiou. i It is usual of .course for die recipient of such a dignity to be made acquainted with his good fortune before any official com luunicarivo is made to rhe press, and i therefore tiheexplanation alluded to would ; bt in itself ma only plausible, but. convinc- Uifi. There is .a rumor, however, that the breakdown ad'the telegraph wires does not furnish the whole explanation of the inci dent, and tlu»t the question of conferring a peerage upum Sir Herbert Kitchener be came a matter of serious debate between j Lord Salisbury and the war office. Prob ably with accuisaey the sirdar is describ ed as the “most popular man in the em pire.” but it ia nevertheless well known in military circles that his rapid advance ; in the army has caused serious heartburn ing, ami it is fear-ed that his elevation to tile peerage, by which ho would practical ly attain the statu*’ enjoyed by the com mander in chief and l.ord Roberts, would intensify tho feeling. But the press and the public have had their way, and incidentally, too, rhe honor conferred upon the sirdar has advertised ! to the world the importance which the British government attaciier. in his work and ir» results.—London Cur. Leede Mer cury. Queer Story of Two I.akei, The Wetternsee in Sweden, like so many other lakes, has lung enjoyed the local reputation of being a bottomless pit. The Swedish scientists have now destroyed the venerable legend, fur in the measurements taken a few' days ago they have success fully demonstrated that the greatest depth i of the lake is only 119 meters. There still remains, however, a series of mysteries i which science must be content to leave unsolved—at least for a time. It is not only a legendary belief, but there is a quasi scientific ground for the queer sup- ■ position, that living creatures, animal and vegetal be, can and do make journeys to | and fro between the high northern lake of Wettern and the south German lake of j Constance. This bold conclusion has been partly jus- I tided by the appearance of exactly the | same fauna, and even of the same animal life, in the Swedish and the Swabian in land seas. It is even asserted that when ever there is a storm on the lake of Con stance the lake of Wettern begins sympa thetically to roll and swell, and that the southern lake is similarly moved by any agitation in the distant northern lake. The Kleine Zcitung soberly declares this sympathetic phenomenon to be a known fact, but considerately adds that we will have to wait some lime for the rational explanation of it.—London News.

The Severity of this Dis= ease Increases Each Winter. i Though the disagreeable effect? of Ca tarrh are felt all the year round, cold i , ’ aigl unpleasant weather aggravates the disease and it is during the winter i fioaaon that its severest f<>nn is felt, i Each succeeding year ‘ems to in-1 tewdfy the disease, so that it grauually fastens its hold upon the sufferer with i a grasp that becomes firmer each sea son. Catarrh often appears as only a cold at first, and is hardly noticed. But ! gradually the cold returns, and it is more difficult to cure, and stays longer than formerly. These symptoms can ; not be mistaken; they mark the first appearance of a disease that will de velop in severity and stubbornness,and which it is impossible to cure with the 1 1 local treatment of sprays, washes, and 1 i similar applications. Being a disease! 1 of the blood, only a blood remedy can ' have the slightest effect upon it. S.S.S. | • (Swift’s Specific) is the only cure for 1 ' Catarrh, because it is the only blood i 1 ; remedy which goes to the seat of all ob- i • atinaie cases, and forces out the disease. , j Mr. T. A. Williams, a leading mer ( ; chantot Spartanburg, S.
