On Catarrh
And Save Endless suf
fering which Winter
Brings.
The most offensive ot all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat-1
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de- 1
velop the disease. What appears
to he only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
“Eor years I suffered from a severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap
plications, but they had no effect what
ever. I was induced to try S. S. S.
(Swift’s Specific) and after two months
I was perfectly well and have never
felt any effects of the disease since.
“JI. I’. McAllister,
“Harrodsburg, Ky.”
It is easy to see the importance
of prompt treatment for Catarrh.
She Let Him Off.
One night Green came home very late
and found his wife evidently prepared
to administer a Caudle lecture. Instead
of going to bed, he took a seat, and,
resting his elbows on his knees, seemed
absorbed in grief, sighing heavily and
uttering such exclamations as “Poor
Watkins! Poor fellow!’’
Mrs. Green, moved by curiosity, said
sharply, “What’s the matter with Wat
kins?”
“Ah,” said Green, “his wife is giv
ing him fits just now.”
Mrs. Green let her husband off that
time. —Liverpool Mercury.

Those who get a start on the dis-
I ease before the cold and disagree
j able weather aggravates it, will
I find a cure less difficult. Catarrh
I inereases in severity year by year,
and becomes one of the most ob
stinate and deep-seated troubles.
But it is equally important that
the right. renu*dy be given. All
local applications of sprays,
washes, inhalations, etc., can
never cure Catarrh, for they do
not reach the dis
ease. Catarrh is
in thf blood, and
only a blood
remedy can cure
it. Local appli
cations only
reach the irritated
surface; the right
■ remedy must be
taken internally.
Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) is the
right remedy for Catarrh. It
i cures the most obstinate cases by
going direct to the cause of the
trouble —the blood —and forcing
out the disease. Those who have
met with so much disappointment
from local treatment should throw
aside their sprays, washes and in
haling mixtures and take S. S. S.
A cure will result. Seud for free

The gentleness of bioodheund disposi
tion js 1- probably accounted for by their
not having been used to bant and kill
prey. One of the most ancient anec
dotes of these dogs attributes the cap
ture of a fugitive to the use of his own
bloodhound. The name iteeff is prob
ably a modern one. based on a vulgar
error that the dogs only followed persons
who were “red handed” from homicide
or who had about them the smdfl es re
cecrty Inlledjiheep The aneiant name
was lyine deg or tnlbet, which latter
appears to have been a white variety of
Hloudheund.
The Cuban bloodhounds, which were
used for hunting slaves by the Spaniards
and were imported into Jamaica, were
not bloodhounds at all, but a cross be
tween the mastiff and bulldog, or per
haps the “dogue” of Bordeaux. They
were brindled, prick eared, and doubt
less horribly savage. They were, how
ever, used as “police, ” and, like the
bloodhounds on the border, were main
tained in every parish in Jamaica,
where it was the duty of the church
wardens to keep them at the expense of
the community.
Some of these dogs were kept in Lon
don during the early days of the zo
ological gardens. The stories of their
ferocity are probably not
though Lord Balcarres, who imported
200 of them into Jamaica to aid in sub
duing the maroons, never used them.
He frightened the negroes into submis
sion by circulating the stories current
about the dogs. —London Spectator
The Kidney Complexion.
Tbc pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with “Kidney Complexion.”
Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuialgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaus
tion and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the suffereg from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble
is until it is almost too late, because the
first symptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think they need a med
icine or a doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purify their diseased,
kidney-poisoned blood, clear their corn
plexion and soon they will enjoy better
health.

Posing as a Hercules.
“I could tell you a story about 'strong

limbs of the fraternity depend on the
cunning of the camera for advertise
ment. ’ ’ So said a photographer.
“One fellow, who visits country fairs
and casual shows, goes through trictas
of a kind won&erful to the unscientific
mind. They are taerely thicks after all,
and his strength is a catch. He depends
on his photes for advertisement. Tn pos
ing he folds his arms tightly, dilates
the muscles of his neck and lines his
veins with prussian blue. His picture
gives you Hercules in his power of maj
esty In private he is a well developed
man, without any swagger of sinew or
strength.
“Professional strong men are as clev
er at make up as a society actress. The
latter lavishes attention on face and
neck, while breast and ribs, muscles
and throat occupy the former for hours
ere the camera confronts them. A few
lines about the body add pounds to the
weight of a strong man (in the pic
ture); a studied pose imparts addi
tional formidability.

Peach Output In Georgia.
Question —Is peach culture in Geor
gia likely to be overdone?
Answer—l think not. It is true .that
the acreage of peaches will be greatly
increased by this season’s planting, and
that the demand for peach stock can
with difficulty be filled by the nursery
men. There will net, however, be a
greatly increased acreage of bearing
trees, and the corresponding increase in
additional markets, and in the popular
ity of the Georgia peach, wiii more
than offset the increase. There must
be a large planting annually to keep up
the present acreage, as peach trees are
short lived and many die each year from
various causes. It is probable that fully
one-third of the trees planted this sea
son will never come into bearing. To
grow peaches profitably requires the
greatest attention. Proper cultivation
and fertilization, careful pruning and
treatment for insect pests and diseases,
are necessary to success, and at least
one-third of the orchards of the state do
not receive such attention, and they go
down. The San Jose scale has caused
the destruction of over 100,000 trees dur
ing the past seasan, and probably as
many more will be destroyed before the
winter is over. If the borers are neg
lected for two or three years, and dur
ing that time the trees produce a heavy
crop, the drain made upon their vitality
by the borers and the production of the
crop, will cause a proportion of
them to die.
Intending planters should not be dis
couraged by these statements, for they
are encouraging to those who intend to
give their orchards the proper care.
Money can be made in Georgia by the
intelligent fruit grower. It is estimated
that the peach growers alone have net
ted over $1,000,000 during the past sea
son. One party sold four cars of peaches
for $6,468, and his entire shipment!
amounted to 90 cars. Sonne grower! re
ceived poor returns on account of bad
handling, poor packing and rascally
commission merchants, but good fruit,
well handled and properly shipped,
gave very satisfactory returns. I be
lieve there will never be an over pro
duction of choice peaches.—Skate Agri
cultural Department.
Mules With the Staggers.
Question. —Two of my mules have
died with staggers. Is there any rem
edy for it, and what causes it?
Answer.—There are two varieties of
this disease, known generally as blind,
and sleepy staggers, according to the
symptoms displayed by the sick animal.
In blind staggers the animal rushes
around recklessly, running against or
falling over any obstruction in his way.
In sleepy staggers the affected horse or
mule appears dull and stupid, standing
quietly with lowered head, er perhaps
with its head pressing against a fence
or wall.
The disease, however, is the same in
both cases, and being a brain disease, is
very hard to relieve or control. Some
of the horse books assert that it is caused
by over gorging, but from my own ex
perience I am sure it is brought ou by
eating damaged or rotten corn. It is
the general sentiment among farmers
that there is more damaged corn this
year than they ever knew before, at
tributable no doubt to the continuous
rains of last summer. Numerous com
plaints of this disease are coining to Chis
department, and I fear that the Msk Oh
this score will be heavy throughout the
state. In feeding horses and mules be
very careful to see that they get no
damaged corn, or you are likely $0 meet
with losses from this very fatal disease.
When the disease is fully developed lit
tle or nothihg can be done to save the
animal, but if upon its first appearance
proper treatment is resorted to many
cases can be cured. The treatment con
sists in promptly bleeding the animal
freely, and giving a good dose of salts
or oil. If the medicine does not act in
two and a half or three hours the dose
should be repeated. Prevention, how
ever, is better than cure, therefore you
should use every care to keep damaged
corn out of Hie horse stable.—State Ag
ricultural Department.
Wheat Sowlug lu Georgia.
Question —Is it now too late to sow
wheat?
Answer—Good crops of wheat have
been raised in the middle and northern
sections of the state sowed as late as
the middle of January. You should
have sowed about the middle of Novem
ber, provided the oold weather had by
that time destroyed the Hessian fly,
which is very apt to ruin a wheat crop
sowed before frost.
To hope for a fair crop, planted at
this late date, your groand must be
rich, either naturally or by the liberal
use of fertilizers. Prepare the land
with extra cere for the reception of the
seed, and do not fail to broadcast from
50 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda fib
the acre when the spring growth eom
mences. Then with a favorable season
you may make a fair crop of wheat. Be
sure to fellow your wheat crop with
peas sown broadcast; they will not only
give you a splendid erop of hay, but
will also enrich your soil with nitrogen,
the most costly of plant foods.
Took Hia Wife’s Advice.
When the man whose haircut showed
that his wife had peculiar notions as to
the way a man should dress his hair
quit giving advice, one of the listeners
said
“No man has more respect for a wo
man than I have, but I shall never take
the advice of my wife again about
money matters She insisted upon my
hiding my salary, so if I should be held
up the highwaymen wouldn’t get it. I
draw my stipend at 6 p. m., and it is
quite dark before I get home. She is a
good Aider in the house, but her talent
in that line stops there. Now, she had
the brilliant idea that I should put the
envelope containing my money under
the sweatband of my hat. Highway
men would never look there and would
never rob a man of his hat After she
had made this suggestion about 40
times 1 accepted it. I went home as
usual on the elevated. I had a alight
attack of vertigo in the car. and the
man who always knows what to do
sajd I needed fresh air and threw up
the window In doing so he knocked off
my hat. I went home bareheaded and
broke ” —New York Sun.
The Brave Bull, the Cruel Spaniard.
The trumpet sounds again, and the
espada takes his sword and his rnnleta
and goes out for the last scene. This,
w,hich ought to be, is not always the
seal climax. The bull ip often fihis
time tired, has had enough of the sport,
leaps at the barrier, trying to get out
He is tired es running after red rags,
and he brushes them aside
eusly. He can scarcely be got to ahow
rfhunation to b? decently killed
Bat one ixiil that I saw was splendidly
savage and fought almost to the last,
ijinning about the arena with the sword
between his shoulders, and that great
red line broadening down each side of
his neck on the black, like a deep layer
of red paint, one tricks oneself into
thinking
He carried two swords in his neck
and still fought When at last he. too,
got weary he went and knelt down
before the door by which he had enter
ed and would fight no more. But they
went up to him from outside the bar
rier and drew the swords out of him,
and he got to his feet again and stood
to be killed. —Saturday Review
PEAR BLIGHT.
Southern Treatment For Le Conte
and Kiefer Pear Trees.
When a pear orchard is badly blight
ed, the owner writes to everybody who
claims to know any thing on the subject,
and every one will write him to prune,
prune, prune, when really the truth is
that the more he prunes the worse will
ba the blight. When an orchard is badly
blighted, the thing to do is to let it alone
as completely as possible. Don’t prune a
limb, don’t plow it or do anything else
to it that will stimulate the trees. The
trees are certainly in bad shape for two
years.
Let them alone till the trees make
but a small growth. Don’t cultivate the
land. Then fertilize with phoephorie
acid and potash (no nitrogen). Kaiuit
and acid are good forms. Apply broad
cast 500 poands of each to the acre.
Less will do good; more will do mere
good. Plow it in lightly, say three or
four inches. This should be done in th#
winter between Dec. 1 and Jan. 15. If
done earlier, vegetation is too much in
the way. If done later, there will be
danger of causing the trees to bloom too
early.
In May give the orchard another
cultivation, most advantageously done
with a cutaway harrow, plowing about
the same depth as before. The season
following give the same fertilizers and
the same plowings. If the trees are
rather vigorous, leave off the May plow
ing.
When you have starved out the blight
and hawe got the trees to where they
make but a small growth annually,
which will be just before you commence
the fertilizing and plowing described

BELIEF IN PRESENTIMENTS.
But Experience ll.nl Pro-re.J That Hot Own

“Now,” she said with just a touch
of triumph, “you will admit it’s
fortunate that I insisted on the um
brella. I had a presentiment that it
was going to rain.”
“It must be a mighty fine thing
to have presentiments,” ho mused.
“It must take off the keen edge of
disapp rintment. ”
“Yes,” she answered, “but you
see it euts off anticipation too. It’s
the law of compensation again.”
“That old gag settingup anticipa
tion is all bosh,” he said, looking at
her hat with the long, waving
plumes. “You women couldn’t wear
all that folderol on your heads if
“you uidn’t have presentiments about
umbrellas. If a man tried to wear
a thing like that he’d ruin seven a
week.”
“Oh,” she said, “man dropped his
feathers when he lost hie instincts,
because it was too expensive to keep
them in curl.”
“Undoubtedly, and now he is
doomed to bare utility and to the
palpabilities of the spoken word. He
has to ask the bald question before
he knows whether a woman is going
to refuse him or not.”
“The easiest way to dispose of
things occult is to ridicule them.”
“I’m not ridiculing,” he said. “I
believe in presentiments just as
firmly as I believe in metempsycho
sis or the faith cure. To prove it, I
was about to ask you to produce one
for me. If I should propose to you
this afternoon, do you think you’d
refuse me?”
“It’s like a man,” she answered,
“to want intuitions made to order.”
“Oh, I didn’t mean that,” heeaid,
“but if you happened to have one
lurking round you—one evolved in
the regular way—l thought you
might be willing to help me out.”
“It’s my disposition to help peo
ple out, ” she answered. “I’m sure
I should. ’ ’
“Should refuse?” he asked. “Oh,
well, that's only a presentiment. I
never was superstitious.”
“No,” she answered, “you’re a
sad materialist. But I wonder how
you’d explain something that hap
pened to me once.
“It was several years ago, when
influenza was about. I was the only
person in our house not under the
doctor’s care. Grandmother was
sick with the rest, but no one had
thought her condition alarming. Yet
somehow that night, sitting before
the grate with the firelight on her
face, she seemed to me to be sud
denly stricken with the weight of
her years. I saw that the sand was
running fast and I felt that she
wouldn’t live till morning. I could
not really say it, and mother would
not understand. But I was wakeful
far into the night and several times
I crept out to grandmother’s door,
when I heard her snoring in the
most reassuringly earthly way.
Finally I did sleep soundly and it
was later than usual when I awoke.
You know how differently things
look by daylight. There is confi
dence, too, in the feel of one’s clothes
and in the perpendicular.
“I went down expecting to find
her and thinking how silly I had
been. But before I had time for a
question mother said: ‘You had bet
ter go up and see how grandmother
is feeling. ’ She hasn’t come down.’
“It all came over me again in an
instant. I felt the blood drop out of
my face and the strength cut of nay
body, but I flew up stairs. I listened
outside the door, but there was no
sound. Then I knocked softly. Os
course there was do answer. Then
I knocked again. For a moment I
couldn’t open the door, but it seem
ed unworthy to leave the shock to
some one else, so I turned the knob
and softly pushed it open. You can
imagine what I felt when I looked
in and saw the old lady sitting
quietly lacing her shoes.”—Chicago

LIKE A MIRACLE.
HOW A LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA
SUFFERER WAS CURED.
TUe Story of a Sturdy Engineer—Hia
Death w«i Decreed at a Consultation
Physicians, but a Changed
Medical Treatment Saved
His Life.
From the Evening Newt, Detroit, 3fic\
James Crocket, a sturdy old Scotchman,
living in Detroit, Mich., at 88 Montcalm
Street, was asked about his wonderful cure.
“First,” he said, “I must tell you some
thing of my life before my almost fatal sick
ness. I was born in Scotland in 1822, and
eame to this country in 1848. lam a ma
rine engineer by trade, and have been up
and down the big lakes hundreds of times.
There is no spot between Duluth and the
Atlantic Ocean I do not know. In 1872 I
was in the employ of the Detroit and Cleve
land Navigation Co., and for fifteen years I
was at my post as chief engineer on one of
their big passenger steamers. My first boat
wu the R. N. Riee, which was burned at
the docks. Then I was transferred to the
Rubie, which was chartered to make ths
run between Detroit and Cleveland.
“ I breught out the new steamer the 'City
of the Straits,' and for years acted as her
chief engineer. It h a great responsibility,
the position of chief engineer on those big
passenger palaces. Thousands of lives are
held in the keeping of the engineer. Few
realize the dangers that might befall them,
and on the engineer depends the safety of the
passengers. The anxiety causes a great
nervous sfrain, and the strictest attention is
necessary during the trip. Not for a me
ment must he lose his watchfulness, as the
human freight above him is absolutely in
his care.
“ For fifteen years I carefully watohed
the big engines and boilers without a single
accident, and only noticed that 1 wae getting
nervous. Suddenly without warning I was
taken sick, and in less than a week I wae
prostrated. I had the best of physicians,
and hoped to be at work again within a
week. I grew gradually worse, and at the
council of doctors, they said I had nervous
prostration, and had destroyed my whole
nervous system and would never be able to
be up again. They said I had worn myself
out by the long nervous strain caused by
watching and worrying about the machinery.
No man could stand such nervous strains
over seven or eight years, while I had been
fifteen years in destroying my nerve centres.
For three long years I was unable to move
from my bed without assistance. The doctor
said I had locomotor ataxia* and would
never be able to walk again.
“The pains and suffering I experienced
during those years are almon indescribable.
My wife used to put eight or ten hot water
bags around me to stop the pain. Those
that came to see me bid me good-bye when
they left me and I was given up. The doc
tors said nothing more could be done for me.
In ftict I had given myself up, and thought
there was no use trying to get well.
" We tried every known remedy, and my
wife kept reading the articles about Dr.
A Tomb For a Poet.
Joaquin Miller, the California poet,
will sleep the long sleep in a tomb
satisfactory to himself. It has al
ready been built under his own su
pervision and from his own designs
in a romantic spot on the top of a
heaven-kissing hili back of the poet’s
home in Oakland, where big trees
thrust themselves up in the air and
huge bowlders dot the ground. Upon
one of these is carved in big letters
“To the unknown,” the poet’s greet
ing in the future which his eyes can
not pierce. The tomb itself is
square, solidly built of 620 rough
blocks of stone, to last for all eter
nity. Three steps lead up to it. Il
is ten feet square and eight high, so
that from the top step a man can
look over and see in its top only a
shallow depression. Here the poet
has directed that his body be cre
mated and the ashes scattered to the
winds. Miller is not in ill health 4
but wishes to be ready for death
when it shall come. His experience
in the Klondike aged him, out he
plans to put his experiences on paper
in prose and verse before the winds
waft the ashes of his body from the
square pile of rocks on the hill.
ROYAL WOMEN OF SPAIN.
The royal women of Spain have
not abandoned themselves to mourn
ing over the terrible, crushing defeat
of their forces by land and sea. The
queen regent visits every day the
sick and wounded soldiers brought
home from Cuba. The convalescents
are conveyed in royal carriages shout
the royal park, and her majesty pays
for the sick soldiers’ food from her
privy purse. Princess Mercedes of
Spain refused to have her birthday
celebrated by a state ball in the coun
try’s present suffering and requested
that it should be noticed by her ap
pointment as president of the Red
Cross society of Spain. She further
celebrated it by giving a dinner to
the wounded Spanish soldiers that
had been brought home.
Don’t Cough.
A physician who is connected with
an institution in which there are
many children, says: ‘There is
nothing more irritable to a cough
than coughing. For some time I
had been so fully assured of this that
I determined for one minute at least
to lessen the number of coughs heard
in a certain ward in a hospital of the
institution. By the promise of re
wards and punishments I succeeded
in inducing them simply to hold their
breath when templed to cough, and
in a little while I was myself sur
prised to see how some of the chil
dren entirely recovered from the
disease. Constant coughing is pre
cisely like scratching a wound on the
outside of the body ; so Jong as it is
done the wound will not heal. Let
a person when tempted to cough
draw a long breath and hold it until
it warms and soothes every air cel’,
and s< me benefit will soon be per
ceived from this process. The nitro
gen which is thus confined acts as an
anodyne to the mucous membrane,
allay ing the desire to cough, and giv
ing the throat and lungs a chance to
heal.”

The Razorback.
Every country-raised boy or girl
knows a razorback. Ho is of a ‘ribe
that is in disrepute. His ptdigiee
was lost when the flood came, and it
is impossible to tell where he cime
from. You cannot make anything
out of him except a long-nosed razor
back. Corn won’t fatten him, pet
ting won’t make him friendly, salt
won’t save him, and his soul is as
hard as the head of a western con
gressman. In short, be is about as
useful as was the negro soldieisin
the late fight with Spain. His hide
is too tough for shoe leather, bis
brains—well, he hasn’t any. He is a
public nuisance. He pushes all L.e
gates in the neighborhood off, and
grunts under your bedroom till you
cannot go to sleep. He eats more
corn, makes more noise and kil's
more time than all the pigs in the
barn yard. This razorback has his
counteipart in the human family.
You see him often. He is rusty,
rugged and runty. He loves no one,
hates everybody, cusses evert thirg,
finds fault with the preacher, takes
the county paper five years on a
credit then refuses to lake it out oi
the office, puls his long nose into
affairs that do not concern him, and
in every sense is araz>rback. As
f >r us, we like the Poland, Berkshire
and Chester breeds of pigs as well as
men. Kill all the razorbacks in the
lot, and get you some breeds that
will fatten.

The Moor in the Spaniard.
Having seen something of Spain
I have my theories, and they are as
follows: We are accu;>tomed to
look upon the Spaniard as a Euro
pean. He is not om; he is largely a
Moor in blood, and much more in
character. The Moor did not possess
bis country for 800 years and leave
it as if h’e had not been there. It is
from him the Spaniard of gets
his religious fanaticism, his fatalism,
much of his architecture and music,
his pride and ceremonious manner,
his social characteristics, (appearing
chiefly in his treatment of women),
his tribal instincts, and want of ad
ministrative capacity, which have
made it impossible for the various
petty kingdoms of Spain ever to
really unite under one stable govern
ment; his want of capability of prep
aration, and finally his blood-thirst
iness, which last, unhappily, cannot
be denied.—Scribner.
Judge Gober’s Peaches.
Judge George F. Gober has bought
an additional hundred acres of land
just above town, near the big trestle
on the A. K. N. road and is hav

the Judge owns near Jasper, and the
land will soon all be set nicely with
peach trees.
We believe that this section is far
better for peaces than the middle
part of the state, for which the fruit
is ju«t as finely flavored, the trees
will last much longer on account of
having und r them as a foundation
a stiff red clay which will increase
the life of the tree. —Jasper Herald.
