Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, i»s they
cannot reach the neat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts direct
ly the bio .d and mucous surfaces.
ll' Catarrh Cure is not a quack medi
c* . ' It was prescribed by one of the
befit physicians in this country for years
aud is a regular prescript! n. It is com
posed of the l>est tonics known, combin
ed with the best blood purifiers, acting
directly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two ingredi
ents is what produces such wonderful re
sults in curing Catarrh. Send for testi

THEATRICAL TEMPESTS. |
The Way a IlaitiHtorm IN Produced I
on the Stage.
Probably not in ore than one person
In a hundred stops to consider how a j
rainstorm is produced on the stage, j
Few perhaps have ever given the sub- j
jeet any serious thought.
During the coming up of the storm
there is seen vast clouds of dust, the
wind blows a gale, and suddenly the
rain comes down in torrents. It is 1111
effect so natural that one almost im
agines the elements" are genuinely 011
the warpath. Vet, though the rain is
real water, not a person is actually
drenched, because the water yomea
down at the very front of the stage,
while the players are well back and
not at all exposed to its moisture.
It might be thought that to produce a
storm many intricate bits of machinery
would be necessary, yet such is not the
case, for the simplest devices produce
the effect desired. These are some gas
pipes punctured by myriads of holes,
through which the water runs from
■mall barrels, each about half full, at
either end. The sound of the wind is
made by n revolving barrel which
touches a heavy piece of canvas in its
rounds. The thunder effect Is caused
by the artistic manner in which a man
bents a bass drum, and the gusts of
dust are blown across the stage by an
electric fan. The flashes of lightning
come from an electric battery connect
ed by wires which when placed in con
tact throw out the dazzling flashes. A
metal plate, which had been specially
prepared by first being heated to white
heat and theu scratched by a knife, ii
plaeed in a calcium light machine and
gives the effect of lightning in the dis
tance. —New York Mail.
POETICAL DEATHS.
Wcloaiiiliik: the Grim Reaper With a
Greeting In Verne.
Tfcere have been numerous instance®
of poetical deaths. The Emperor Adri
an made a poetical address to his own
■oul as death was casting the seal of
final Mlence over his lips, and Marga
ret of \ustria while almost within th«
grasp c' death In a terrific storm at
sea calmly sat down and composed her
epitaph in verse. The ship weathered
the gale, however, and the epitaph »-***
not needed.
riiilip Strozzl when Imprisoned and
awaiting death 011 the gallows resolved
to commit suicide. Before he killed
himself he carved with the sword upon
which a few minutes~)ater he Impalod*
himself the following verse from Vir

from my blood."
The Marquis of Montrose when he
was condemned to have his limbs nail
ed to the gates of four cities said that
he was sorry that he did not have
enough limbs to nail to all the cities

ecution.
Patrls, a poet of Caen, finding him
self at the door of death, composed a

1 driy, when the park was filled with
mothers and nurses, 1 heard a new
1 way of appealing to the love or fear of
a child. A stylishly dressed young wo

after making all sorts of threats and
promises without effect, said. 'Child,

ORIENTAL JUGGLERS,
FeatH Performed hy Chinese and
C.iMt Indian Mticli'ianK.
' "During a trip through the far east
I was much impressed with the won- '
derful feats performed by some of the
Chinese and Indian jugglers and
pleight of hand artists," said a Chi
cago man the other day."ln Ameri
can theaters we see some skillful
work along these lines, but the per
former is usually at a considerable
distance from the spectators and
could employ many aids that the ori
entals do not use.
! "I have seen Chinese and Indian
magicians come 011 board a ship and
In the center of a circle of passengers
perform tricks that are little short of
marvelous. For instance, one of the
Chinese would ask a spectator to
place a coin 111 the latter's hand. The
Chinaman would close the fingers one
after another over the piece* of money
and then, by passing his hauls over ,
the closed fist of his "subject," would
In some mysterious manner extract
the coin. 1 have had this trick work
ed 011 me a number of times, and I
am 110 nearer to knowing how it is
done than I was the first time.
"Then 1 lTnve seen an Indian magi
clan come out on deck, place a small
seed on the planks, pour a little water
over it, cover with a small cloth for a
moment and then remove the cloth to
disclose a living plant a foot or more
high. These fellows do not wear long,
baggy sleeves In which a piano might
almost be concealed, but have bare
; arms. There is said to be a clan of
Jugglers, among whom the secrets of
the craft are jealously preserved and
handed down from father to sun."—

A little girl went for the first time to

I , 7"
KIA HE NEW IDEA WOMAN'S MAGAZINE
| has taken up the subject ot elnld
training in a new way. It has sent
an interviewer to an expert j
jer lo find our how it i» that children •
; Whose parents "can do nothing witn j
i tlfein?' do not give the least trouble in
| School. ' The first interview i- printed in j
tire March number of Tin: NEW IDEA and ;
deals with '"The Laz\ Child ami tin In- '
witling Child." Some of tne points made j
will surprise and perhaps not convince j
the average parent. For instance:
"Do you. then, not recogniz • such
quality as l.iziness in children?"
asked the reporter, feeling the infec
tion of Miss FarreH's optimism.
"No. Those v. ho know child na
ture best tell is t:• •• t th principle of
childhood js activit. If we do not
give a chikl something to do that is
suited to him, or if the thing is not
piest-nted to him in a way that will
appeal to him. then he will refuse it
Mid develop his activity in some
other way."
''But surely, to some extent, a
chihl mil t do tin? thii gthat does
not appeal to him." This new doc
trine of taking the child's nature in
to account WHS decidedly upsetting.
"But why? Even thing in »y be
made to appal to a child. Frankly,
1 do not believe in a child doing a
thing simply because it is good for
it."
I bis is a fair sample of the treatment
of the subject, which w 11 be found at
least suggestive to those aggrieved indi
viduals, active parents afflicted with lazy
children.

A GALLOWS MYSTERY
John Lee's Remarkable Experi
ence on the Scaffold.
FACED DEATH THREE TIMES.
And Three Times the Trap, Which Had
Previously Been Tested and Found
In Good Working Order, Refused to
Open When the Bolt Wac Drawn.
One of the most remarkable scenes
ever witnessed on the gallows took
place in England in the last century.
Early on the morning of Feb. 23,
1885, a considerable crowd of people
gathered before the grim front of Ex
eter prison. It was a silent crowd,
shivering in the keen wind that blew
around those frowning walls on thaf
dull, misty morning, and its eyes were
all ben.ton a llagstalT which stood bare.
They were waiting fo" a flag to be
hoisted—the terrible black Hag which
should announce that justice had been
done on a murderer.
Inside the prison a warder stood
ready, holding in his hand the cord
which should hoist the hideous black
drapery lying on the ground at his feet,
but the signal did not come. Instead
of it there arrived an excited prison
officer.
"The flag will not be hoisted. Lei
will not be hanged today," ho said.
John Lee, the prisoner whose death
slgual that crowd had awaited, had
had one of the most remarkable es
capes from capital punishment record
ed In our prison history. To tills day
IT remains somewhat of a mystery
how John Lee lived so many years
after the events of that terrible morn
ing.
"I had a dream," tfie wretched man
wrote to his sister the day after lib
Tearful experience on the scaffold—"l
had a dr.eam on Sunday night (the j
ntght before the day fixed for the exc*,
eutlon) that the scaffold was not ready
and that they had to make another.
I told the officers that were on watch ,
over me at 0 o'clock In the morning, I
but I did not think It was coming true. |
But it did. It was the Lord's will thai
I should not die yesterday at the time,
appointed by man. I believe what oc
curred was a miracle. I was on thi
brink of death three times. It is my
wish to die. I am tired of this world,
and I am waiting for the time to come,
and I hope it will not be long. I have,
been dead to this world three times."
John Lee did not exaggerate his aw
ful experience.
At 8 in the morning of that Febru
i ary day he had been led from his cell j
j to die. In what had been the coach ■
| house of tiie prison the gallows had
! been erected. Beneath was a deep pit
j covered by the closed doors, which, i
| when the condemned man was placed
! In proper position, should, at a signal
from the executioner, fly open, a bolt
j being withdrawn by an assistant pull-1
lug a lever. The whole arrangement
had been tested several times aud had
worked satisfactorily. But now, with
John Lee stand ng there with the cap
drawn over his face aud the hangman's
rope around his neck, the flap doors
beneath his feet would not give way I
Berry nun c the fatal signal, the assist
ant pulled the lever, the boit flew back,
but the doors kept their place. Then
warders rushed, forward and stamped
with their feet upon the doors. They j
remained firm. Lee was led aside, and
carpenters were called into saw some
of the woodwork away. Again all was
ready. The < lergyman once more came
to the words; "In the midst of life we
are in death." Again the sigual was
given, the bar was pulled, but the doors
refused to part.
John Lee stood there before thenf
alive!
Three times did that happen. For no
fewer than eighteen minutes Lee stood
there tasting the a ,r my of momenta
rily expected death.
Then the white cap was taken from
his face aud tin- rope from around his
neck, and in* was led back to prison,
while the Jail author.ties ha lily con
ferred as to what i > ild be done. A 1
tel 'am was dlspatc hod to the hoi ■ 1
secretary, l.iv
forming him of the extraordinary oc
currence and requesting instructions.
Later 'the uudersberilt' proceeded to
London to interview the secretary.
"I fell," ! aid Kir William Hareourt !
later in Hie liouse of commons, "that it
would shock the feelings of every one ;
If this man were called upon to again
undergo the pangs of Imminent-death,
and I consequently signed a respite
during her majesty's pleasure."—Lon

How lie Remembered.
Professor Huxley had a funny way
of remembering certain anatomical de
tails of the human heart. On the left
side of the heart there Is a valve with
two tlaps resembling a bishop's miter
and known as the mitral valve. The
corresponding valve on the right side
has three flaps. The only means by
which he could remember their re
spective positions, said Iluxley, with
his skeptic's humor, was by the re
flection that a bishop could never be
in the right.

"Life is full of contrariness and non

woman as she took her seat reluctantly
at her desk on the morning after the

OPPOSITION
DISAPPEARING
ttrong Sentirr.ent In the Legislature
In Favor of the Enlargement of the
State Crpitol Grounds.
Harris burg, Feb. 25. —It Is believed
ttiat Senator Fox's bill providing for
the extension of the ground surround
ing Pennsylvania's magnificent new
Itate eapitol will be passed finally
ihrough the senate during the present
week
i The bill has been amended so that
no more than $500,000 of the total ap
propriation to pay for the fourteen
acres of land which it Is proposed to
tako can be expended in any one year.
It will be demonstrated by facts and
figures roin the official reports and es
timates of the expenses of the state
government for the next two years
that the payments for the Capitol
Park extension can be made without
in the slightest degree infringing upon
the money necessary for the mainte
nance of state charitable institutions,
the semi-private institutions which are
accustomed to receive state aid, tho
public schools and a large additional
appropriation for the construction of
good roads and still leave always a
comfortable surplus in the state treas
, ury.
The sentiment among legislators
appears to be much more favorable to
the proposed enlargment of the capitol
grounds thatf it was at the beginning
of the session The members have ■
looked over the ground, have seen the
absolute necessity for this great imf
and they realize that It '
can never be made at any other time
for so lit tie money as it can now They
realize that the growth of the com
monwealth and the increase in the
public business will make necessary
within the next few years the erection
of additional buildings for the accom
modation of some departments of the
state government for which there will
soon not be room enough in our new
capitol* just as new buildings are be
ing erected in Waslhngton for the
executive department of the national
i government.
j To accommodate those new buildings
! In Washington the government is pay
! lng $10,000,000 for property which im
mediately after the close of the civil
war could have been got for $500,000.
i It is absolutely impossible to erect
any additional buildings on the pres
ent capitol grounds without destroying
the effect of our splendid new capi
tol The proposed extension would
provide sites for the additional build
ings which are sure to be necessary
and at the same time give a proper
Retting to the capitol and permit a
fine view of it from the railroad over
which 12,000,000 passengers go every
year, and from which it is now hidden
by buildings mostly poor, mean and
unsightly
Senator Fox's bill carries an appro
priation as it stands now of $1,600,000.
no more than $500,000 of which can be
expended in one year. This, it is esti
mated, is sufficient to pay for all the
ground needed, which will be taken by
; a commission to be appointed by Gov
| ernor Stuart, and the valuation to be
j assessed by a jury of view to be com
posed of entirely disinterested per
sons
Property in Harrisburg Is enhancing
in value very rapidly. Unless the sec
tion which is needed for the enlarge
ment of Capitol Park is taken now its
value will multiply every few years.
The state cannot possibly make a bet
ter investment, simply as a business
proposition than to take this land be
; fore it is built up by fine large build
ings, as it inevitably will be if the
states does not take it.
PANTS AND VESTS,
The Piflerence Detneon Them and
Trousers ami Walntcouta.
WV.y ilo the trade journals ignore the
word "pants," and what is tho differ
ence between "trowsers" aud "trou
sers" and between "vest" and "waist
coat?" asks a correspondent of the
Clothier and Furnisher.
"Pants" is an abbreviation of "pan
taloons," a word foisted upon us by
the French, though possibly derived
from the Italian "pantaleon," which,
according to the poet llyron, has an ill
defined connection with the Hon of St.
Mark's, in Venice. "Trowsers" is old
English modernized into "trousers,"
which is the proper spelling. "Vest" j
Is au abbreviation of "vestisent." An- 1
other poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes, i
traces it to Londoners in his line which j
says:
Vhe dangerous waistcoat, called by cock
neys "vest."
Genteel usage declares "pants" to be 1
vulgar, though it and "pantaloons" and
"vest" have their place in trade and so (
receive reeognition. We end the matter
with another quotation from Holmes:
The thins named "pants" in certain docu
t 4 word not made for gentlemen, but
. "Ktata."
