There is more Catarrh in this section of
he country than all the other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &

tional cure on the market. |lt is taken in.

ARABIAN WOMEN.
>f Their Life is Full of Sentiment and
Quaint Customs-
■*> Arabians have peculiar ideas on the
e marriage question. An Arab will in
)• variably offer marriage to his brother’s
widow. It is considered a sign of re
b spent to the dead brother and the liv
ing woman by so doing, as the Semi*
d trie tradition in the Hebrew and Chris
S tian scriptures tells us. In an Arab
town a statement made before the cadi
if constitutes all the essentia) marriage
a ceremony. In the desert the only nec
essary function is the slaughtering of
I a sheep within or before the tent of
- the bride’s father, Arabs not infre
quently change and exchange wives,
r to the high satisfaction of all concern
-9 ed. If a man is dissatisfied with bis
wife he may return her to her father,
• but be must also return her marriage
. portion in full, and if she be of the
Bedouin blood a eh« camel must be
. added to the original dower. Arab
wives as a rule are treated with con*.
> sideration and with no small share of
tenderness. In Arabia woman’s posi
| tion is one of dignity, her attitude one
of self respect Arab men are as full
of sentiment as of prowess, and no
more ashamed of the one than the oth
1 er.
1 Arabs who know Europe say that
1 “Europeans are hard on their women,
and do not fear God or conceal theii
offenses.” An Arab will not often exs
’ pose a sinful woman, even though she
sin against bis own near kinsman, but
will say : “I must cover her with my
1 cloak. And more indulgence must we
1 give to women than to ourselves—for
1 they are weaker, and while equally
tempted, are able to withstand
temptation.” Like the geisha of Ja- (
pan, the dancing girl of Arabia may,
and often does, leave her calling and
become a respected wife. Centuries
ago, and for centuries, English lovers
broke a coin between them and so sol
emnized their betrothal. In some
Arab tribes a man and maiden break
ing together before three witnesses a
flat, thin cake of almond paste are for
mally affianced. -Au Arab has an ab
solute right to the band of his girl
cousin. He must formally renounce
that right before she can marry any
one else. When a girl has more than
one male cousin, the prior claim is the
oldest cousin’s, or, in some tribes, that
of the oldest unmarried cousin. The
man must provide all necessaries for
his wife and if she has money or earns
any she spends it in dress. If she
makes him a skull cap or a handker
chief be must pay for the work.
In the land of Ishmael no honey
moon? are ever taken by the bridal
couple after the ceremony has been
performed. However, it frequently
falls to the lot of the bride elect to
make a very trying journey just previ
ous to her marriage. If she is to be
married to a man in a neighboring
town she goes to him—not be to her,
for she is leaving her home and he is
not —what more natural than that she
should be put to the inconvenience.
Besides, It is considered lucklier for
■ the bride to cover the distance, if there
is any, between herself and her future
husband. And what _a picture she
makes as she comes riding proudly her
nuptial camel. She rides in a litter,
, canopied by embroidered, tasseled and
tinseled silk or fine cloth. On the
canopy is an appropriate text or more
from the Koran, embroidered in gold,
f The camel wears a proud plume of os
' trich featberr. His long neck and
; head is dyed with brilliant bannab.
J His face and head are bung with wee
I mirrors, which flash in the sunlight.
. His grotesque bulk and bis gaunt legs
’ are swathed and hung with phulkaris
l —strange eastern cloths bedight with
5 squares and ovals of looking-glass and
long, thick stitches of rich silk. Some
- girl or woman friend rides with the
1 bride and attendants and protectors
J precede and follow her.—Springfield

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 8, 1888.
Boring for Steam- ,
The deepest well jn the wdrld will
soon be completed near Pittsburg. It
is now more than one mile deep, and
when finished it may re4ch down two
miles into the earth. It is being bored
in the interest of science. The object
io penetrating so deeply is to deter*
mine just what (he interior of the
human footstool is like It is the in
tention (o continue the boring until
something entirely new is developed.
It has long been the theory that if it
is possible to go deep enough some naw
geologic condition or economic condi
tion would be found to exist. As the
temperature increasss the notion grows
that the "natural stream” will be en
countered or the bottom will be so hot
that cold water may be pumped down
and superheated steam pumped up
But if the auger should melt?—Law

POWDER

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.
The time-honored practice of our
forefathers in rolling up a piece of
paper to be used for a lighter haa been
utilized by an inventor for the manu
facture of matches. The paper takes
the place of the wooden stick, and is
not only lighter, but cheaper. Long
strips of strong porous paper an inch
wide are immersed in a solution of
wax, stearine and other substances,
which causes it to stick together and
to burn with a bright, smokeless and
odorless flame. These strips then pass
to a machine which winds them into
long thin tubes and cuts them ink)
strips of the ordinary length. The
stripe are then dipped into the phos
phorous preparation to form the head,
which, when dry, ignites by friction in
the usual way.
Lemons as Medicine-
They regulate the liver, stomach, how
els, kidneys and blood, as prepared by Dr.
H. Mozley, in his Lemon Elixir, a pleas
ant lemon drink. It cures all biliousness,
constipation, indigestion, headache, mala
ria, kidney disease, fever, chills, impuri
ties of the blood, pain in the chest or back,
nervous exhaustion and heart failure.
Hon John L. Martin, office opposite
Four Courts, St. Louis, says: Lemon El
ixir has no equal for the disease for which
it is recommended. Myself and family
have used it for two years, and recommend
it to our friends.
J. B. Wilkerson, druggist, Augusta,
Ark., writes: Enclosed find S4O. Send
me twelve dozen Lemon Elixir at once.
It is effecting the most wonderful cures.
There is nothing like it for the diseases for
which it is recommended.
A PROMINENT MEM PHI AN*WRITES
Dr. H. Mozley, Atlanta: Having been a
great sufferer for three years from indiges
tion, and been treated by many physicians
who failed to give me any relief. Contin
uing to grow worse my brothei advised
me to try Dr. Mozley’s Lemon Elixir,
which remedy he had used for several
years. I commenced its use, and must say
that your Lemon Elixir is the greatest
medicine on earth. I have never suffered
a day since I commenced using Lemon
Elixir. Thanking my brother for his ad
vice and you for Lemon Elixir, am forever
your friend, B, L. Rocco,
206 Hernando St., Memphis.
Refer any one in Memphis to me.
