The Pomelo. (Grape Fruit.) Read at the San Gabriel Farmers' Institute by I. H. Cammaok of Whittier, Cal., on September 3, 1896: There are two or three reasons why this, as yet comparatively rare, citrus fruit attracts much attention. It has a reputed medicinal value. It has begun to attract some commercial attention. It has some pleasant eating qualities, sui generis. Both horticulturally and commercially speaking it is yet in a rather experimental stage, hence its comparative novelty places it in an attitude of peculiar interest before inquiring and progressive horticulturalists. Besides Yankee inquisitiveness both in and out the orchard wants to know all about the novelty. Perhaps, however, it is not exactly fundamental to use the word "Yankee" as applying to original curiosity, for Paul speaks of a city full of people—Greeks—all of whom, strangers included, spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing." But as the phrase "Forbidden Fruit" is sometimes applied to the Pomelo, one is led to conclude that curiosity dates still further back to the primitive female orchardist. However, long live curiosity, still longer live its earnest child, investigation; and many thanks to Dame Nature who so generously affords the active intellect of man so wide and inexhaustible fields of investigation, study and research. He is certainly a dull son of toil who does not often inquiringly peer into new avenues of soil and cultures. It is the primeval domain of intellectual activity and it is re-assuring and refreshing to now and then find so many active business men, city men, breaking the bands of professional life and returning to gardens and fields and orchards—the normal, natural, original parasites of their first parents. Long live amateurs in horticulture. It is legitimate to imagine what is a Pomelo; what is it good for; will its culture entitle one to the privilege of eating honest bread! The Pomelo is a kind of ancestral king among citrus fruits, one whose history can be traced back to the East Indies, where the varieties being propagated largely from seeds, are too numerous and varying to admit of a wholesale description at all satisfactory, and not very practical to the California orchardist who cares very little for any except the few selected strains of most merit. Some one or more of the larger ones were brought to the West Indies by Captain Shaddock, and since then have been dubbed Shaddookz. As these larger strains proved less desirable they have been dropped, except now and then a rare tree preserved for its novelty. It is said that the modern name (which H. E. Van Deman pronounces the correct one) Pomelo, is a contraction of pomummelo, melon apple, doubtless so named on account of its large size, as it is said that some East Indian fruits have attained the monstrous dimensions of 20 inches in diameter and develop water for a while it would be wiser and more profitable than putting out more trees. VEGETABLE GROWING. Paper read before the Fullerton Farmers' Institute by S. J. Murdock of Westminster: The growing of vegetables in Southern California embraces three distinct heads: (1) For home use. (2) For local market; and (3) For shipment. Of these, the first we consider of most importance, because it interests more persons, and because it is the most neglected. It is universally admitted that fresh gathered vegetables are far superior to stale ones, and yet we must also admit it is a big task to undertake to change an almost universal custom—one that was in the commencement a necessity and has continued to grow from year to year until it has at present reached a magnitude few persons realize. And yet, how easily could a large proportion of families raise almost all the vegetables they use, and I am very sure they would use more than they now do if they were able to get them fresh from their own gardens. It would not require a very large area to supply a family, and where water is handy, two, three, or even four crops can be grown on the same ground in the year. To a great many this may seem to be overcrown, but let me demonstrate that it is not. Let us start April 1: Sow the plot to lettuce, and with proper cultivation it will mature in two months. Re-sow with turnip-radish, which is a good summer variety. These will be fit to use in three weeks, so by the first week of July the ground will be ready for late cucumbers, which will occupy it until the first frost or the nights get too cold for them to fruit. Now plant to carrots, beets or onion sets; any of them will be ready for use in February or March. Here we have four crops within the twelve months and no two of them occupying the ground at the same time. There are other combinations that would do as well. There are two important items in favor of people raising their own vegetables. It saves many a nickel and dime, and at the same time they get a better and healthier article. I know it is very handy to have your vegetables brought to your door, but very often what do you get? yesterday's day before, or even last week's vegetables for the pedler is not going to throw anything away so long as there is a chance to sell it. Under the second head, that of growing vegetables for the local market, is supplying the demand which originated in the early days of mining, large stock ranges and big grain ranches. Then this was a necessity. The miner's camp was in the gulches and mountains, and the cattle ranges and grain ranches on the dry plains. Very few thought of raising vegetables, even had they the facilities, but were willing to pay big prices for most anything in the shape of green stuff. The business of growing vegetables has grown step by step, until at present it is a great industry, mostly in the hands of Chinamen, yet in some places white men are getting a share of the trade and if they would combine and exchange vegetables as the Chinamen do, would soon have the bulk of the business. THE WAR IN CUBA. INSURGENTS BURN A TOWN IN SHADWA—REINFORCEMENT LANDED AND AN ACTIVE OR PAIGN TO BEGIN. New York, Sept. 11.—Information reached this city that the steamer T Friendsa, which left Jacksonville last Friday has again been successful in landing an edition in Cuba in spite of the watchful Spanish war vessels, which constant trot the coast. The expedition was landed cisely where the Spanish navy departed exerts its greatest vigilance, on the coast Pinar del Rio province, where a few years ago it was reported that the Cuban le Antonio Maceo, was in sore need of ammunition and clothing for his troops. Landing was effected last Monday near Honda, where had been sent to wait for arrival of the expedition, took charge of the moment the cargo reached the beach. The cargo which was landed consisted of 1,107 rifles, 460,000 rounds of ammunition one pneumatic dynamite gun, two thousand pounds of dynamite, 1,000 macetes or large supply of medical stores and cloth. The rifles are especially adapted to the ser cartridges used by the Spanish army supply of which the Cubans allege can captured or purchased from the Spaniots troops in Cuba. The dynamite gun is the most prized ture of this expedition, and the men are to handle it were sent down for their pose and have had a good practice in way of using it to good advantage. It is thought in Cuban circles that this supply of ammunition Maceo will soon as General Gomez moves from east upon Havana this autumn. KEY WEST, Fla., Sept. 13.—Advice Havana by the steamer Mascotte gives tails of a massacre of Cubans in Matanzas province by Spaniards under Gen. Moro The butchery occurred on Las Calcas estate. Molinas heard that an insurgent band camped on the estate and ordered it The insurgents had gone when the iardas arrived, and Molinas ordered buildings on the estate destroyed. The Spaniards surrounded the home employes, applied the torch and the Cubans as they rushed out. Eigemen and four women were killed out while thirteen others were wounded, including three children. Molinas was a plato spectator of the massacre and reported Weyler as a "glorious victory." On Thursday the insurgents raided burned the town of San Francisco de la suburb of Havana. The Spanish gas of 300 men surrendered, but were released after being disarmed. The smoke and fire were visible in Havana and caused excitement. Weyler seems to have completely lost head. He is having leading citizen Havana arrested by the wholesale. We says the men arrested have been plotted have him recalled to Spain. The army have profoundly stirred Havana. The variety, being propagated largely from seeds, are too numerous and varying to admit of a wholesale description as all satisfactory, and not very practical to the California orchardist who cares very little for any except the few selected strains of most merit. Some one or more of the larger ones were brought to the West Indies by Captain Shaddook, and since then have been dubbed Shaddooks. As these larger strains proved less desirable they have been dropped, except now and then a rare tree preserved for its novelty. It is said that the modern name (which H. E. Van Deman pronounces the correct one) Pomelo, is a contraction of pomummeo, melon apple, doubtless so named on account of its large size, as it is said that some East Indian fruits have attained the monstrous dimensions of 24 inches in circumference, and weigh perhaps 10 pounds. I can readily admit the size quoted, for I have certainly seen Shaddocks 18 or 20 inches in circumference grown near Rivera. The term "grape fruit" seems to me far-fetched and quite fortunate. Its origin is generally explained as resulting from the habit of the fruit forming in clusters, a characteristic perhaps not much more marked than oranges; but one writer, presumably drawing on his imagination, explains the term as arising from the grape-like flavor of the fruit. It seems that both names illustrate the impropriety of using compound descriptive terms in the place of a simple proper noun. A number of strains of the East Indian Pomelo, sometimes introduced via Jamaica, the Bahamas or South America, are cultivated in Florida and this state. Some new strains, by hybridizing with the sweet orange, and doubles sometimes influenced by the qualities of the wild bitter orange of Florida, have been prominently advertised in the past few years. All of them are characterized by more or less bitterness in the juice, especially the rind, although in the Aurantium pomelo this quality is almost entirely eliminated. Briefly described they are usually a large yellow, bitter orange, varying much in these three characteristics. To the novice, who has not cultivated a taste for bitter, or beer, or imperfectly cured olives, doubtless the milder strain, as the Aurantium would be the most enjoyable at first. The bitter which is mingled in a sprightly and generally very agreeable sub-acid juice, has the quality of lingering on the palate agreeably or disagrees accordingly to taste. It is reputed to possess medical qualities of value, but I am not able to say to whom this bitter is most valuable, the grower or consumer. If it is an illusion, perhaps it is too pleasant and harmless to require analysis or exposure at my hands. I half question whether scientific chemical analysis, and the authority of a therapeutic enunciature, would add noticeably to the vigor of a fad in behalf of their sale. Let them sell. I think it is the concurrent testimony, however, that consumers of this fruit find their taste and desires for the fruit increases upon use, as in the case of California pickled olives. It does not seem to me, however, that with children the Pomelo will be popular like the olive or orange, hence this will very materially affect general demand and consumption. If the demand for this fruit must be dependent upon a partially cultivated taste, or must come from those who seek it medicinally, and if the consumer will not eat so freely as of the orange, and we must largely leave the consumption of the children out of count, than the demand is largely reduced. And I imagine a market glutted with pomelos is helpless compared to one overstocked with oranges, because with the latter a reduction in price will encourage consumption, but a reduced price on pomelos would not impart a taste, a desire for them, which already exists in favor of the orange. You may begin to infer I am not here to boom the pomelo. I would like to sell a good many trees to somebody able to buy them, who does not think as I do about their future, and who will get them somewhere to plant. I do not say I am right. I do say I happen to know that there has been a very large planting of them, both in this State and in Florida in the past two years, and this is saving nothing of Jamaica, the business of growing vegetables has grown step by step until at present it is a great industry, mostly in the hands of Chinamen, yet in some places white men are getting a share of the trade and if they would combine and exchange vegetables as the Chinamen do, would soon have the bulk of the businesses. The people of California know no season for the different vegetables as in the East. They demand beets, lettuce, radishes, turnips and cabbage the year round, and want asparagus, peas, parsnips, salisfy and cauliflower nearly all the time. White muen should combine and exchange different kinds, for one man can hardly succeed in having all varieties in proper quantities, as different soils and locations produce different results. But the average Californian does not take to the business. They consider it "puttering" work, yet it is far ahead of wheat raising. It takes study, and lots of it, to keep abreast of the times, for we cannot raise the vegetables of ten or twenty years ago and make a success; there is as great improvement in vegetables as in other things. There is scarcely a region in Southern California where an industrious, energetic man could not work up a good trade along this line. He should not expect to make a torture in a few years, but after the first few months he would have a steady weekly income, increasing from time to time as he learned the wants of his customers and catered to them. Under the third and last head is raising vegetables for shipment. This is a business fast assuming vast proportions. It is increasing year by year and in some lines with very rapid strides. For instance, the raising of celery in the peat lands. Three years ago but very few acres were raised, while this season hundreds of acres are set out, the limit in some instances being the number of plants they have or can get. We may consider the grower who raises vegetables for shipment a sort of specialist. That is, he grows but few varieties, often one alone, and it becomes necessary for him to study the particular kind he raises in all its forms, not only as to selecting the variety, but as to obtaining the very best strain as well as the best and most economical methods of planting, cultivation, harvesting and marketing. Location in many instances will determine what he shall raise. If his land is warm, dry and sheltered he may raise string beans, early peppers, summer squash, or early tomatoes. On moist, heavy land, celery, cabbage or onions. Another locality may be better suited for peas or asparagus, but you will not find any spot best suited for all. We can, however, raise all the before mentioned vegetables at some time of the year in the same locality, but the point to consider is to raise that variety which succeeds best at the right time of the year for shipment. While we can raise tomatoes to perfection and in immense quantities down near the coast where we have moist born land, we cannot mature them early enough to get top prices, and it is that which counts on the right side of the ledger. There is much land in California which is held at too high prices to be used for ordinary farming which might be made to pay a profit on the price asked if properly tilted to some vegetable adapted to the soil and locality for, The right seed in the right place Has helped many out of a tight place, and will do so again if the man stands ready to do his part. In conclusion, let me say, next to fruit growing, supplying ourselves and our neighbors with vegetables and raising them for shipment should command the attention of soil tillers in this most favored land of the greatest nation that sun shines on to-day. The business of growing vegetables has grown step by step until at present it is a great improvement in vegetables as in other things. There is scarcely a region in Southern California where an industrious, energetic man could not work up a good trade along this line.

And I imagine a market glutted with pomelos is helpless compared to one overstocked with oranges, because with the latter a reduction in price will encourage consumption, but a reduced price on pomelos would not impart a taste, a desire for them, which already exists in favor of the orange. You may begin to infer I am not here to boom the pomelo. I would like to sell a good many trees to somebody able to buy them, who does not think as I do about their future, and who will get them somewhere to plant. I do not say I am right. I do say I happen to know that there has been a very large planting of them, both in this State and in Florida in the past two years, and this is saying nothing of Jamaica, the Bahamas, Mexico, Central America and South America. But there are doubtless hearers (or readers) of this paper who want to know what kinds of pomelos one should plant and some cultural hints. As to varieties, I have already mentioned the smallest variety, the Aurantium, the most orange-like in size and taste of all. I do not specially recommend it, though it has its strong advocates, for it is my impression that the buyer of a pomelo to eat will not want one with more of the bitter than it possesses. I am favorably impressed by the Morrish's Seedless (not seedless, however). The Triumph appears the leading favorite, as it seems to have about medium qualities all around. As to growth, the tree is vigorous, and should have from 25 to 30 feet square space, at least as much as the seedling orange tree. This will vary with soils, of course. It will require the same care as the orange tree, and will stand about the same temperature as the lemon. The trees are generally reputed as wonderfully prolific. I have had them begin bearing the second year, in the nursery row. It is a beautiful tree; nearly all strains throw a large, vigorous and healthy-looking, dark green and glossy leaf. It has no more immunity from pests than the seedling orange. Now, in conclusion, let me say that I feel that this paper is of perhaps but little interest except to those who may have contemplated planting this fruit, or who have already done so. In many things I am optimistic. If I wanted to plant an orchard of this fruit, I am pretty sure my wishes would doubtless have a tendency to make things as roseate in that direction as possible. The wish is so often father to the thought that we do not always reason with unbiased minds. Personally, I conclude there is sufficient acerage of them planted. Then you say what shall a man plant? If you will allow me to suggest I would say, the most profitable planting now is drill holes that will raise artesian water. If people would stop planting bitrus trees now Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the gennine. It is taken internally and is made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. Sold by druggists price 75c. per bottle.

Make the Most of Yourself. It is the duty of every man to make the most of himself. Whatever his capacities may be, he is sure to find some place where he can be useful to himself and to others. But he cannot reach his highest usefulness without good health and he cannot have good health without pure blood. The blood circulates to every organ and tissue and when it is pure, rich and healthy it carries health to the entire system, but if it is impure it scatters disease wherever it flows. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the one true blood purifier. It cures salt rheum, scrofa, catarrh, dyspepsia and rheumatism because these diseases have their origin in the blood. The present sufferings of our people are caused by events that have occurred within the past twenty years and that be treated from the present point and wholly with reference to future. Our ordinary currency is abnormally good for present purposes and only thing needed immediately is a dition of confidence in financial aid that will set the mill wheels in motion and increase the employment of labor in industry in the basis of our nation's prosperity and nothing is more certain than that general prosperity of the people which prompts the generous emment of labor. These questions governed by natural laws just as cease in their operation as those which occur day after day. "Your failure as a physician healer of the public sore is your failure diagnosis of the disease. Have gone back of the present difficulty and attempted to tell us how to make better kind of dollar. What the people need is to be permitted to earn more dollars, which are good enough for the present necessities. While there are constructing a new financial condition, the people will continue to bring upon us the most serious case which it is now possible to ap- pend. No foreign war would begin do our country so much harm as acceptance of your views by the torsors of the United States."

THE WAR IN CUBA. GENTS BURN A TOWN IN SIGHT OF HAVANA—REINFORCEMENTS LAUNDED AND AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN TO BEGIN. YORK, Sept. 11.—Information has led this city that the steamer Three Sails, which left Jacksonville last Friday, had been successful in landing an expedition Cuba in spite of the watchfulness of Spanish war vessels, which constantly passed coast. The expedition was landed pre-maturely where the Spanish navy departmentits greatest vigilance, on the coast of Del Rio province, where a few weeks ago was reported that the Cuban leader, Maceo, was in sore need of ammunition and clothing for his troops. The agitation effected last Monday near Bahia, where a detachment of Maceo's forces had been sent to wait for the expedition, took charge of it and sent the cargo reached the beach. The cargo which was landed consisted of rifles, 460,000 rounds of ammunition, pneumatic dynamite gun, two thousand tons of dynamite, 1,000 machetes and a supply of medical stores and clothing.rifles are especially adapted to the Maundridges used by the Spanish army, a group of which the Cubans allege can be used or purchased from the Spanish in Cuba. Dynamite gun is the most prized feast of this expedition, and the men who handle it were sent down for the purse and have had a good practice in the use of it to good advantage. Thought in Cuban circles that with supply of ammunition Maceo will make attack on the Pinar del Rio trocha as General Gomez moves from the town Havana this autumn. WEST, Fla., Sept. 13.—Advices from a by the steamer Mascotte give deed of a massacre of Cubans in Matanzas since General Gomez moves from the town Havana this autumn. Spaniards surrounded the homes of employees, applied the torch and shot Cubans as they rushed out. Eighteen and four women were killed outright, thirteen others were wounded, including children. Molinas was a pleased victor of the massacre and reported it to her as a "glorious victory." Thursday the insurgents raided and laid the town of San Francisco de Paula,urb of Havana. The Spanish garrison men surrendered, but were released disarmed. The smoke and flames visible in Havana and caused great damage. The siege seems to have completely lost his life. He is having leading citizens of Havana arrested by the wholesale Weyler men arrested have been plotting to him recalled to Spain. The arrests profoundly stirred Havana. COFFEE FOR A THOUSAND. How McKinley Refreshed His Regiment and Won a Promotion. The following true narrative of the Republican candidate for President taken from the Chicago Inter Ocean is characteristic of William McKinley. He was only a boy of 18 when he enlisted and went to the front to fight for his country, but he not only did all the things he was commanded to do but, as the incident shows, did what he knew needed to be done, if it was in his power, without waiting to be told. McKinley is first of all a statesman, but he was a good soldier, too. Some old army officers, in relating their experience at Antietam, made much of an incident at the close of the second day's fighting. The men of the division had been ordered into line that morning without breakfast, and had fought in one of the fiercest battles of the war all day without opportunity to cook any food. They bivouacked tired and hungry, sullen and heartseare, without prospect of comfort during the night, and the lines were as quiet as though the men were asleep, when a cheer broke out on the right and extended toward the left. The commanding general sent an officer to inquire the cause of the outburst, and the messenger, on returning, reported that Sergeant McKinley, in charge of the commissary department of his regiment, had forced his way to the front with gallons and gallons of hot coffee, and was distributing it wholesale and retail, without prejudice or favor, and the general himself had been so eager for a cup of coffee that he felt like leading in a cheer for the sergeant. The truth was that Sergeant William McKinley, in charge of the commissary train, knowing that the men were suffering for food and coffee, had organized the stragglers from the front into a coffee-making brigade, and, having made the coffee, drove through the lines to the very front and brought to the depressed and distressed soldiers, just when they most needed it, the thing to give them most comfort. This led to McKinley's promotion because his superior officers saw in the successful carrying out of the undertaking not only the courage to overcome difficulties and face danger, but the ability to grapple with emergencies, the instinct that prompted the doing of a thing unheard of in the military practice of the day, and the generous impulse that led him to appreciate the need of the sorely tried men and to help them. Some of the men who drank Sergeant McKinley's coffee on that direful night of the bloodiest battle of the war are living in Chicago, and they hold stoutly to the theory that the incident illustrated a marked trait in McKinley's character, and that when people are in Thursday the insurgents raided and the town of San Francisco de Paula, urb of Havana. The Spanish garrison men surrendered, but were released being disarmed. The smoke and flames variable in Havana and caused great sorrow so have completely lost his He is having leading citizens of was arrested by the wholesale. Weyler the men arrested have been plotting to him recalled to Spain. The arrests profoundly stirred Havana. BOOM OF THE BOY ORATOR STARTED Big End First. The 15th of August, on Governor B. Cornell of New York, a man the sincerity of purpose is above on, and whose conviction on publications is entitled to respectful deterioration, addressed an open letter to Bryan, the substance of which even below. It is Mr. Cornell's detate judgment that the success of Bryan ticket and the popercatwould be such a calamity to the that "no foreign war would be do our country so much harm as acceptance of such views by the ers of the United States. When men take such a position, it is for patriotic citizens everywhere to to the nation's rescue and stem side of this royalty of unreason.

You were born after Lincoln made Cooper Institute speech. You were in arms when secession fired its upon Sumpter. What good is it to tell us what Jefferson or Jackknight about finances. They knew about financial conditions and accessibilities of the American people as generation. The general moris norwise of bimetallism or monomenial in the abstract are not the vital ions that afflict us to-day. What have been properly considered in in the coinage act of 1873, or the caption bill of 1875, is one thing, that is wise to consider now in view of present surroundings and consis wholly different. The present suffirings of our people used by events that have occurred in the past twenty years and need treated from the present standand wholly with reference to the. Our ordinary currency is abungood for present purposes and the thing needed immediately is a confidence in financial affairs. Superior officers saw in the successful carrying out of the undertaking not only the courage to overcome difficulties and face danger, but the ability to grapple with emergencies, the instinct that prompted the doing of a thing unheard of in the military practice of the day, and the generous impulse that led him to appreciate the need of the sorely tried men and to help them. Some of the men who drank Sergeant McKinley's coffee on that direful night of the bloodiest battle of the war are living in Chicago, and they hold'stontly to the theory that the incident illustrated a marked trait in McKinley's character, and that when people are in sore distress and confused by troubles not of their own making no living man will be more appreciative, more sympathetic, more helpful than this Sergeant McKinley, who in the midst of a great battle made coffee for a thousand, and carried it through the thick of the fight to the men in the ranks. It was not a thrilling thing to do; it was not like leading a brigade in battle, but McKinley was only a boy then, and these old soldiers, Democrats and Republicans, will vote for him because he has acted up to that generous impulse ever since; because no man in public life is nearer to or has done more for those who toll than this old comrade of theirs, Major William McKinley. GOOD PRICES IN SILVER. What an Enterprising New York Butcher Offers to Do. Some good object lessons are being given the people nowadays which ought to show them what free coinage of silver by this country alone would result in. In several Eastern cities where Phil Armour does a meat business he gives his customers 50 cents worth of meat and a Mexican silver dollar for an American silver dollar and, of course, receives the Mexican silver dollar back for the next order at 50 cents. Now comes the Chautauqua News, of Sherman, New York, containing the following advertisement. It ought to throw light on the coinage question: In order to assist those who believe in the "White Metal," I will pay the following prices in MEXICAN SILVER DOLLARS (no change given) for live stock and produce delivered at Shermas: Steers weighing 1,000 lbs or over, fine and fat... 6 cents per pound Helfers weighing 600 lbs or over, fine and fat... 5 Sheep, fat and heavy... 5 Leahey fat and heavy... 7½ Veah, fine and fat... 8 Pigs, weighing 100 to 150 lbs., 5½ Best Holstein milch cows... $20.00 No.1 dreamery butter... 28 cents Pine factory cheese... 10 These dollars contain more pure silver than the United States dollar.

Last winter a number of literary people indulged from time to time in amateur theatreicals. During February they produced a comedy. One of the actors played the part of a burglar, and had to climb up the outside of the house in which the entertainment was given and enter through the window which was at the rear of the improvised stage. He hurried round from the dressing rooms and valiantly commenced to struggle up the wall, when a policeman grouped him by the neck, thinking him FITS CURED CATARRH is a LOCAL DISEASE and is the result of colds and sudden climatic changes.

Last winter a number of literary people indulged from time to time in amateur theatricals. During February they produced a comedy. One of the actors played the part of a burglar, and had to climb up the outside of the house in which the entertainment was given and enter through the window which was at the rear of the improvised stage. He hurried round from the dressing rooms and valiantly commenced to struggle up the wall, when a policeman grasped him by the neck, thinking him a veritable burglar. He started to explain, but the minion of the law would have none of it. The audience was wondering in the meantime why the play did not proceed, and the young actors and actresses on the stage were eagerly waiting for the burglar to enter and give them their one, when they heard shrieks, yells, oaths and threats from the garden. Rushing out they found the master burglar thrashing wildly about the grass, while a brawny policeman sat on his shoulders hammering his neck into the mud. T. J. F. BOEGE.
