The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh ('ure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutioal disease, requires a con- stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting direct- ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- ing its work. The proprietors have so mach faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address: F. J. CHENEY&Co., Toledo, 0.

ONLY THIRD, 1 The Falls of the Iguassu River Hold Secant Place, and These Three Are In a Class by Themselves—Their Electric Power Possibilities. :',t ease time waterfalls in large riv- era were interesting only because of their scene' beauty. and their very ex. t L.—wave was deplored because they ob- structed navigation. But mail has found a way to harness these mighty p.twer producers and today they are of the greatest valueto the commercial t ie e,reat t wurltl because the millions of water horse power can be changed into elec- tricity and transmitted for hundreds of miles to be used as a reliable sub- stiulte for our vanishing coal supply. \Viten it is remembered that two cubic feet of water, weighing 125 pounds. by falling a distance of only six feet will produce oue horse power of energy, it is easy to comprehend that millions and millions of horse power are wasted every minute by the torrents of water tumbling over Niag- ara. the Victoria falls and the Iguassu river and many lesser falls throughout the world. This falling water is guided by steel and concrete penstocks to powerful water turbines which whirl great electric geuerators. The current produced in this way is easily trans- mitted for hundreds of miles over small copper wires to the cities and towns where it is used to haul the railroad trains to drive the great manufactur- ing- plants and to give us light and beat. Loyal as we all are to our country, we must admit that even the mighty torrent of Niagara ranks only third in size when compared to the waterfalls of the world. The largest of the earth's waterfalls, the Victoria falls of the Zambesi river in Rhodesia, are 380 feet high and more than a mile wide, and were discovered by Livingstone in 1S55. The water power of these falls is estimated to be fully 35.000.000 horse power, two and one-half times that of Iguassu and five times that of Niagara. South America possesses a waterfall whieh exceeds Niagara both in width and in height and is actually the sec- ond largest waterfall in the world. This little known waterfall is that of the Iguassu river, tributary of the Pa- rana, and, like Niagara, is situated at the boundary of two states, each of which owns half of it. The total water power of the Iguassu fall. which is 213 feet high and nearly two miles wide, is estimated as about 14,000,000 horse power. This is approximately equal to the aggregate water power of all Scan- dinavia, which is rich in waterfalls. or about ten times the total water power of Germany. There is no other waterfall in the world which is at all comparable in greatness with the Zambesi, Iguassu or the Niagara. Asia, notwithstand- ing its colossal mountain ranges, is comparatively poor in large waterfalls, which are found most abundantly in Africa and North America. The lar- gest African streams especially are in- terrupted by many falls of considerable height. The Kongo has several high falls which owing to the great volume of the river, about sixteen times that of the Nile, may be counted among the most important sources of water power on earth. The Stanley falls, in the middle reach of the river, consist of seven successive falls, of a total height of 164 feet and a width of near- ly 4,000 feet and offer an exceedingly rich source of power which probably will soon be exploited. Still more important is the total wa- ter power which the Kongo develops in the non -navigable section extending from its mouth to Stanley pool. Here the river, confined in a channel only a few hundred yards wide and with a depth of water of nearly 800 feet, flows with a velocity of forty-eight feet a second, so that at every point of the stream 25,000 to 30,000 cubic meters or about 1,000,000 cubic feet of water are hurled along with irresistible force, pl while thirty-two rapids and waterfalls lower the level of the stream by 820 feet in a stretch of 170 miles. The lower Nile, In Egypt, possesses a series of rapids, the celebrated cata- racts of the Nile, but no waterfall in the strict sense of the word. True, waterfalls occur oa the upper Nile, the most beautiful of them at the point where the stream issues from Lake Victoria Nyanza. This Ripon fall is only a few yards in height, but the volume of water is so great that it presents a magnificent spectacle. ('omparatively few persons know which is the highest waterfall in Eu- rop,•. The most voluminous of Euro - peat) waterfalls, strictly so called, are the Rhine falls, at Schaffhausen, but the highest are the Waken falls of the Mann -half river, in the Norwegian province of Telemarken. The' princi- pal fall Is 800 feet high, and the total height of the two chief falls smith the intervening rapids amounts to 1,837 feet, while the average flow of water Is Ofty cubic meters, or 1,760 cubic feet a second. The Waken falls, with their total energy of 230,000 horse power, have been converted to indus- trial uses. ---Electric News. One may dominate moral sufferings only by labor.

The Spirit of Good Work. "We cannot help thinking, says Hoard's Dairyman, "that the real spirit of good farming was in some respects stronger am ng the farmers of New York sixty years ago than it is to -day. There was a widespread pride in those days among the New York farmers in being counted among men as being good farmers. Scientific knowledge has greatly increased since then, but the men of to -day cannot begin with their fathers in farm pm ide. That is what makes a good farmer. Better less knowledge and more spirit, pluck and pride, than the reverse. "Take it in the matter of plowing. All over that State at county and town fairs there would be held plowing mat- ches at which would gather old men, young men and boys to see who could turn the straightest, truest and best furrow. The effect of such emulation upon the minds of farm boys was most wholesome. It conduced to greater at- tention, greater skill. "That is. what is needed to -day on every farm. There was emulation about growingclove rand corn and other farm crops. The farm boys and young men felt it; talked it and it was a good thing. The same spirit we believe is being re- vived to -day in these boys' corn clubs. If you can increase the right farm spirit among the youth of the farm, the fu - tare of good farming will take care of itself." Locomotor Ataxia. "My nerves were very bad, and I could not sleep at night, nor could I con- trol my arms or legs," writes Mrs. Robt• Bustard, Maxwell, N. B. "Dr. Chase's Nerve Food cured me of whatI believe was the early stage of locomot- or ataxia or paralysis. I cannot describe what I suffered, but now I am entirely cured." Tangible Benefits From DrainingLand. 1. Land is ready for seeding earlier•in the spring. 2. The soil is warmer in the early spring. The seed, therefore, germin- ates more promptly and begins a healthy growth at once. 3. There is no drowning out of crops due to heavy and continued rains. 4. Fertilizers are not lost by surface washing. 5. More air circulates through drained than through undrainad soils, and all crops 1 equire pure air for their best growth. 6. Roots of plants go deeper in drained than in undrained lands. This not only gives them greater feeding range, but makes them more droughtl•esistent, be- ' cause they are nearer the water line in dry seasons. 7. Frosts do less injury to crops. The drains make it possible to get better catches of grasses and clovers and mini- mize the losses from late spring and early fall frosts. 8. Drained land is more easily worked than undrained. The cost of man -pow- er, horse -power and machinery is thus materially reduced. A Matter of Health. Anyone in his right mind would not deliberately go into a room, close the door and windows, open a bottle, and proceed to distribute poisonous germs and gasses around the room, and then lie down and go to sleep in that foul at- mosphere. But that is what many of us do every night in the winter when we sleep in the bed chambers with the windows closed. This may seem to be a strong statement, Farm and Dairy says, but it is none too strong. When we breathe we are taking out of the air the oxygen that is conducive to health and releasing from our bodies carbon dioxide, a suffocating gas and minute portions of organic matter which float in the atmosphere and are in many cases extremely poisonous. When the room becomes "close," it is an in- dication that the oxygen of the atmos- phere is partially exhaused, and that in its place we are breathing carbon diox- ide and inhaling along with the carbon dioxide poisonous substances. This "close" condition of the atmosphere is characteristic of bed chambers where the windows have been tightly closed. It may be objected that it costs more to keep a house warm when the bed- room windows are raised at night. The extra cost of heating tho house where the windows are raised in the night will be more than returned to us in the better health that he will enjoy, in the greater enjoyment that we Will derive from the rest of the night, and in our increased efficiency for the work of the day. t#"at.9 : led t w 4'th Weak 1,• heart.

Story of the Origin of Commercial Street in Provincetown. Commercial street in Provincetown had an origin in keeping with US pres- ent nautical air and appeal to the im- nginittion. The town originally stood au the spit of sand far out across the harbor, where the lighthouse now 13.. Many years ago the government bought Provincetown, houses and all, In order to protect the harbor from the threatening sea. The irovincetownians event to the government people and asked what they were going to do with the houses, "Pull 'em down, of course," said the government, "Can't we have 'em?" inquired the late owners. "Sure," replied the government, "if you'll take 'em away." "Sure!" echoed the Provincetownians. Old wreckers that they were, they applied their to hnioto the problems of house moving. They bullheaded their swellings up, uecklaced empty casks about them in the way of life preserv- ers, and one sunny morning the village of Provincetown, true to its maritime traditions, set sail, schoolhouse and all, and came floating gayly across the har- bor to where It now stands. Near the railway tratk today they point out a certain store as the original seafaring setool house--Aletropolitan Magazine. THE CURIOUS SNAIL. This Creature Can Live Without Mr, Water or Nourishment. While the snail has, lungs, heart and a general circulation and is in every respect an air breathing creature, it :an nevertheless exist indefinitely with- out luhaling the least breath of air, the element that is usually considered the essential to existence in all creatures supplled with lungs. "To all organized creatures," said Leppert, "the removal of oxygen, wa- ter, nourishment and heat causes death to ensue." When that statement was made Leppert did not appear to con-. "aider the snail as one among the great host of "prganized beings," for experi- ments by Spallanzani have proved that any or all the usual life conditions can be removed in the case of the snail without terminating its existence or in any way impairing its functions. The common snail retreats into his shell on the approach of frosty weath- er, and the opening or mouth of its shell is hermetically sealed by a secre- tion which is of a silky texture and absolutely impervious to air and water. in this condition it is plain that it is deprived of three of the four elements of life mentioned above_eair, water and nourishment.—Harper's Weekly. Statue With Umbrella. Some poor art is to be seen in this country in the shape of statues dedi- cated to the memory of great men, lRlt ao American enormity In this line quite equals that which was perpetrated by an English sculptor for the town- of Reading. When the fellow townsmen sf a certain George Palmer of that place decided to honor his memory they de- termined upon a bronze statue of Pal- mer, which should be not merely a portrait as to features, but a correct presentment of him as he appeared among them every day. Accordingly, the stranger in Reading is startled by the most unconventional of statues, with every crease and wrinkle of the homely attire of the original repro- duced. To complete the effect the stat- ue is bareheaded, with silk hat and um- brella in hand. It is thought that this is the only instance in which the necessary but not entirely beautiful umbrella has been reproduced in bronze.—New York Sun. He Fooled Her.
