—the worst forms of catarrh, with
the use of Dr. Sago’s Catarrh Rem
edy. It’s mild, soothing, cleansing
and healing properties effect a per
fect and permanent cure, no matter
how had the case, or of how long
standing. It’s a remedy that suc
ceeds where everything else has
failed. Thousands of such cases
can bo pointed out. That’s the
reason its proprietors back their
faith in it with money. They offer
$500 reward for a case of catarrh
which they cannot cure. It’s a
medicine that allows them to take
such a risk. Doesn’t common sense
lead you to take such a medicine?
“An advertising fake,” you say.
Funny, isn’t it, how some people
prefer sickness to health when tho
remedy is positive and the guaran
tee absolute.
Wise men don’t put money back
of “fakes.”
And “ faking ” doesn’t pay.

Life— III. Service on Two Continent, with
Garibaldi— HI. Unrocomponw.1 Service
for Victor Emanuel.
Admiral William de Rolian, who died
in this city, was one of the most remark-
ablo men of this century, and a complete
sketch of his life would read like a chap
ter from medimval history. He was of
Norse descent, his father having been a
Swedish nobleman, and ho was born
Dahlgreti, his elder brother being Ad
miral Dahlgren, of the United States
navy, whose services afloat during the
war, as well as bis advanced improve
ments in ordnance, make such a bright
page in the history of our navy. Another
brother, younger, Charles Dahlgren
took sides with the south during the
war and was a general officer.
IX- Rolian was nearly six feet in height
broad shouldered and deep chested, and
in his prime of life must have iieen
af tho most powerful men living,
head was Webeterian in its proportions.
THE BROTHER'S FIGHT.
Away back in the forties, when Will
iam had grown to man's estate in years,
Admiral Dahlgren, then a lieutenant,
was stationed at the navy yard here en
gaged in the ordnance departments, that
made his name faidbus for the style and
method of building the gi;eat ship guns
tlmt Imre his name and that fonght the
naval battles of the civil war. One day
Dahlgren, tho elder son, saw (it to take
William severely to task for something,
and that brought on a storm of angry
words on both sides that resulted in tho
younger man knocking the older brother
into a corner of the room. Dignity for-
bade i. personal altercation, au<l Datil-
gren had an officer sent for.
Taken to the old City hall, William
was snllon and unrepentant, and though
family and neutral friends tried to stop
proceedings, Dahlgren pressed tho case,
and the offender was fined $100 for the
assault. Then Dahlgren told the magis
trate that if William would make a
public apology for having struck an offi
cer of tho navy while in uniform he
would be willing thnt the penalty be set
aside.
“Never! Never!’’ said William,
will never npologizo nor even speak a
word to yon while God lets me live; and
more, while you live I will never again
bear the name that you do.”
So they parted in the mayor’s room at
tpe City hall, and William assumed his
mother's name of De Rohan, by which
he was known thereafter at home and
abroad to the day of his death. His
mother was a member of the princely
family of De Rohan, of France.
Going abroad, his family connections
and ample means brought him into in'
tiinacy with persons of tho highest rank
in life, among them being Admiral Hie
hart (Paslm), of the Turkish navy, and
with him ho took servico under tue sul
tan, with the rank of captain.
HIS CAREER IN ITALIAN WATERS.
Leaving the Turks he went to the
Argentine Repnblic—then Bucuos Ayres
with Garibaldi, and commanded the
naval forces of that country in the suc
cessful revolution tlmt brought Indepen
dence. After that, when Garibaldi came
to this country, De Rohan went to Chili
and became admiral of the Chilian navy.
Late in the fifties he joined Garibaldi,
with whom be was in constant corre
spondence, in Europe, ondeutered heart
and soul with him in his plans for the
unification and independence of Italy.
While the groat liberator directed and
commnudeil the land forces De Rohan
was made admiral of the revolutionary
navy, which was confirmed by Victor
Emaunel.
He was an admiral without a fleet, for
they did not have a single vessel heavier
than n coral fishing felucca; hut ho was
energetic, and by a very liberal ontlay
of funds from his private purse and con
tributions by English and French friends
lie actually succeeded iu purchasing and
arming three good sized meruliantsteam-
ers, with which he escaped to Sardinia
anil reported to Victor Emanuel,
It was on tlieso vessels that the then
king of Sardinia and such troops ns he
had were transported to the mainland of
Italy, and history tells of the result.
During the siege or Rome Admiral De
Rolum commanded the marine division
under Garibaldi and snjiervised the ar
tillery fire.
Other forms of government tium re
publics are at times ungrateful, and It is
so in this case, for, while Admiral De
Rohan spent nearly $2.50,000 in providing
tho means thnt gave tho throne of Italy
to tile house of Savoy, he never was re-
“zid a penny, and died in Providence
hospiLil here, cared for by charitable
friends.
During a nnmber of years lio resided
in Eugland, where he became interested
in thu formation and workings of the
British naval reserve, in which he was
commissioned a commander by the ad
miralty. During the civil war he was
Intensely loyal to the north, hut refused
to take service in our navy lest lie might
at some time be brought under the com
mand of his brother. Admiral John Dakl-
gren.
Put off by various excuses and neg
lected by Victor Emannel in liis attempts
to secure repayment of tho immense
sums advanced to Italy, he came home
about 1871 and laid hia claims before the
secretary of state.
In the belief that something would at
leaat be accomplished. Do' Rohan went
abroad again, and for several years tried
to work some mines he owned in Sar
dinia or Sicily, bnt he lacked capital for
tho work, and retained home to find his
case slumbering as neglectedly as though
no one in the state department had ever
heard of it.
He was thoroughly disheartened, and
for the first time in his life his high
•oarage failed before his misfortunes
•ad his health gave way.. He was then
nearly seventy years of age, and when a
stroke of paralysis followed he failed
rapidly in a hospital.—Washington Post
A Hunt Destructor.
A correspondent asks, Wbat is the
‘dust destructor?' The dust destructor
is a group of furnaces s»t in an inclosed
space containing tho requisite yards and
buildings used for consuming the rub
bish which is swept off the London
streets, which amounts to many thou
sands of tons in a year. The furnace
honse is approached by an incline drive
way leading to a covered place above
the furnaces. In this place the scaven
gers' carts shoot their rubbish, which by
simple apparatus is dropped into the
furnaces, where it is speedily converted
into "clinker.” This clinker is then re
moved and broken np. Some of it is
ground, some regronnd, and some ground
a third time.
In the ward are seen piles of broken
and ground clinker, some of course
lumps, some resembling gravel, some
looking like the finest sand. For all
this material there is a nse. Some of it
goes to form the foundation of roads;
some, mixed with tar, is made into a
durable pavement: some makes admira
ble sand for mortar anil cement, and
sonio is made into imitation stone for
sidewalks. In tho Battersea district
of London the parish wagon houses,
stables, blacksmith shops, etc., have
been constructed entirely of this imita
tion stone made from tho refuse of do
mestic dust bins and the streets.
If any of the residents of the parish
want any of the broken or ground
clinker for any pnriwso they are per
mitted to take as much of it as they can
carry away iu barrows or carts. Noth
ing goes to waste. Tho process of cre
mation is cheap, and this method of dis
posing of the refuse of a crowded dis
trict has had a wholesome effect from a
sanitary point of view. In Battersea
the dentil rate tins gone down from
eighteen to eleven.—New Voik Com

Tile Rugby Roy.' Ru.y Day.
I give the everyday rontino at Rugby
just as my young “Lower Middle” friend
rattled it off to me: “Well, the 0:15
morning bell wakes ns, bnt we don’t
want to get up. Then another bell rings
at 0:50 for five minutes. We’ve got to
gat in our places in chupel in that time
to bo ‘called over,’ and if we are too lazy
to make it, it means a ‘licking,’ that’s
all. After service we march in order to
our different ‘form’ rooms and say les
sons till 8:15. Then we have fifteen min
utes to buy any little luxuries, like penny
loaves—tho house bread's pretty dry—
and then comes breakfast. From 9:15
to 1:15, lessons; and dinner's nfl :00.
“Wo get a rest spell from dinner until
8, and then lessons go on aguin until 0.
oxcept Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur
days. Them’s half holidays. . Every boy
has got to join the games then, unless
he’s got good excuse. Sometimes we get
off by shamming a sore foot and many
other ways well known to ns boys. Bnt
whatever we’re doing at G o'clock, games,
sauntering or study, everything's drop
ped, and we givo a grand rush for ‘tea.’
After tea in winter, and after 7:15 in
summer, comes ‘locking np.’ Nobody
likes that. Then we have to pitch in
on preparation’—that’s getting onr les
sons for the next forenoon—until 9
o'clock, when they give ns a very light
supper that don’t make anybody dream.
Then It’s go to bed, and no fooling, or it
means anotber ‘licking,’ sure as fees and
marshuls, that's all!”—E. L. Wakomau

Tho Sargofia Sea.
The Sargossa sea is a region in tho At
lantic, about midway between southern
Europe and America, extending from 21
to 23 degs. north latitude and between
29 and 45 degs. west longitude. It de
rived its name from a Portuguese word
signifying a grape, and waa so called be
cause the seaweeds characteristic of the
region bear on their branches small air
cells, which in shape are not unlike the
grape clusters. The weeds themselves
are among the most peculiar of vegetable
productions, sinco they havo no roots,
nor any signs of fructification, and aro
propagated by division. They float in
the water, sometimes in dense masses ex
tending for miles.
This portion of the Atlantic is a great
eddy, little affected by the currents
which .surround it on every side, and the
stilluess of the water, it is supposed, has
contributed to the development of tho
weeds in tho vast quantities in which
they are found. The floating masses
were noticed by Columbus and his men,
to whom they were a source of uneasi
ness, as the sailors supposed they indi
cated shallow water. Detached masses
of the weed are often seen in the Gulf
stream, and the long, yellow lines of
flouting weed are a sure indication of its
close proximity.—St. Louis Globe-Demo

A railroad man who knows Senator
Brice intimately told this story of him:
Mr. Brice for some time wanted certain
matters nrranged at Sandnskv, bnt his
desires were prevented by two of the
younger Vanderbilts, and ho finally
went to them. They laughed nt him,
and Brice became quite angry. “Young
men,” said he sternly, "yon must not
laugh at me; I won't permit it. Yonr
father langhed at mo once and it cost
him nearly $9,000,000, and 1 know he
had a great deal more sense than yon
have.”
President Brice in a month's time got
what lie asked for at Sandusky.—Indian

Had Temper.
Many people consider that “bad tem
per” is entirely voluntary on the port of
the person who displays it. As a mat
ter of fact, it is often to a very great ex
tent involuntary, and no one is more
angry at it than the had tempered per
son himself. Of course every one,
whether he is born with a bad temper
or has acquired one from habit, or has
been visited with one as the remit of
disease or injury, should at least try tc
control it Bnt bit friends should also
bear in mind that had temper maybe,
