be no cure for this loathsome and

effective treatment is a thorough courso

" I was troubled with catarrh for oYer
two years. I tried various remedies,

I started at sound of voices nt my el

that Dunham had quarreled with Ills
confidential clerk iu consequence.
On the ovening when he (Harper) wns
to depart Sir. Dunham cilled hiin into
the library and requested him to diiufc'
a social glass of wine with him. It
sorma that Harper assented. An hour
later Donald Dunham was dead. . He
hnd died In agony, and witli his latest,
breath accused his olerU of having
poisoned him. The dregs of one of the
wlno curs were round to contain areenio,
the other being harmless. The con II-
dential clerk wns at once arrested, aud
in one of his pockets a naokoge of arsenic
was found. 'Such evidonos was over

and I undertook his defense. I made as
good a fight as possible uuder the cir

Dunham, together with the fact that the

the poison in the psoket of Harper, was
evidence that I could not overcome.

Retrogression of Nlncarn Fall,.
Among the Interesting peculiarities of
Niagara Falls is a oontinual changing of

that has been golug on for some Jlttl
time.- It deems that the American Fall
holds its ground more firmly than that

careful turvey which State Engineer
Bo.tart submitted to the Commis-ihmors
of the Sfnte R'aorvation recently, it ap
peiiM that Rl icq 13-12 the American Fall

What Honey Costs.
Tlio honey bee- has long been a type
of the industrious worker, but there aro
few people wlie know how much labor
the sweet hoard of the hive represents.
Each head of olover contains nlout 00
dlititict flower tubes, each of whioh con
tains n portion of sugar not exceeding
the five-hundredth part of a grain.
Some enthuiiast "ho has watched the
bee' movements concludes that the pro
boscis of the inseot must therefore be
inserted into 600 clover tubes beforo one
grain of sugar can be obtained. There
are 7,000 grains in a pound; end, as
honey contains three-fourths of Its
weight of dry sugar, eaoh pound of
honey represents 2,800,000 olover hoads
snokod by bee.

LOVE'S DYING DREAM.
Monsieur Fernando, n pennttossyoung
composer, occupied a garret room at the
Bufontes. He was happy there how
over, for he Could now nud then catch a
glimpse of Mllo. La C fanning her
olf on tho first floor balcony. He fell
of course desperately In love with her,
nna as she was a singer ne composed
for hor a song whioh ho called "Love's
Dying Dream."
When It was completed he ran down
ataira with it, re-solved to knock and
hand it to a servant, but finding tho
door opon he slipped In. Thero won her
portrait on the boudoir table, and lie
would havo kissed it if a scream and a
growl had not startled him.
He turned. Tlie pcroam came from
Ml'e. La. C , the growl from n
gentleman who accompanied her, and
in the instant two hands came down on
Fernande's shoulders, nnd the miniature
wn wrosted from him.
How careless of Augusta, " cried the
.lfldr, "to loave the door opon forthlevea
to enter by. "

Feruande said nolhiug. Conscious of
his terrible position, he was stricken
dumb; and it was as one passes through
the changing soenea of a dream that he

into prison.

had a valuable ornament in his hand.

At this the youug man thought it
would be welt to le dead. She had
never seon him U f rI Then she bad
not smiled upon Mm when he threw her
that bouquet of Provenct) roses. It was
all fancy. He had not caught Iter eye.
Sho Imd uover noticed him.
The gentleman who had been with

he wns Q.ncer, and called the hapless
Fciunmle a thief, a brigand, nnd a

And Feruande could only say tliat he
wa not guilty.
I am named Fernanda, and I have
23 yean, nnd I am nothing and no
body. "
This he eald when called upon to ac
count for hltnsolf, nnd nothing more,
nud ha was written down vagrant and
cond mued to nurd labor as a thief.
Mile. La C went home pouting
and declaring that she "hated to go to
such dreadful places." Sho ate a de
lightful little lunch, and afterward find
ing a packet upon her table, opened it
and read Feriiando's little anonymous
note, at which she laughed and hummed
over the Bong, pronounciug It "very

Amateur singers went mad over It,
and It wns published. Havingthe namo

One day with a pnrty she visited the

She stood amid her little circle of cava-
Ileis nnd'snld to one in authority of tlie
place; "What do thoy like, these people?
Sludl 1 sing a little love song?"
"As mademoiselle, pleases. "
And mademoiselle smiled, and tried
her voice with a little trill, and began
