The United States does not stamp any article made ont of cold and stiver sxotpt coin, and the fakir, nr using this stamp, wants to make the public be lieve that the Government had something to do wfy)i tht stamping or guaranteeing the fineness of watch cases. Another trick of the wateh fakir is to advertise a Watch described as a solid gold filled wateh with a twenty or twenty-five- year guarantee. These watches are gener ally eent .C. 0.

The Dueber-Hampden Wateh Company, of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex posing these frauds, will furnish the names of the manufacturers who are in this ques tionable business.

The man read the telegram and shoved It Into the pocket of his blouse without a change of countenance.

"He’s a mighty'good engineer and can tell .you more of what yon want to know than I can,” and then he goee about his puffing steed, feeling for hot place# and poking n long- spouted oiler under the machinery. It Is ten to one that the other man will get out of It In the same way. Few engineers who have-been found out of fast runners will make any comparisons of any kind of their runs with those of other engineers. There Is one thing, however, about which ah engineer of this class Is "touchy.” Suppose he haa made a fast run, hut has been laid out or delayed from one cause or another.

The origin of chronic catarrh, the meet com mon and dreadful of diseases, is a cold. This is the way the chronic catarrh gen erally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs ou longer than usual. The cold generally starts in the head, and throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the sir pas sages which incline one to ckteh cold very easily. At last tha person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or lees discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up. full feeling in the,head and sore, inflamed throat. The best timo to treat catarrh is at the very beginning. A bottle of Pcruna prop erly used never fails to cure a common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh. While many people have been cured of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Pa rana, yet, as a rale, when the catarrh be- cornea thoroughly fixed, more than one bot tle is necessary to complete a cure. Pa rana haa cured cases innumerable of ca tarrh of twenty yean' standing. It ia the beet, if not the only internal remedy for chronic catarrh in existence. But prevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should taka Pcruna at once at the slight est symptom of oold or sore throat at this season of tho year and thus prevent what A Father** Protection.
