ELGIN, ILL. In a very recent commu
nication from this place comet the news
that Mr. Arthur Ernest Kidd, a well
known architect of that city, Inn made
complete recovery from catarrh of the
bead, from which he had suffered for
nearly a quarter of a century, lie write
from 18 Hamilton ave.:
"I am 42 year of age, and have had ca
tarrh of the head for over half of my life,
ai a result of scarlet fever, followed by
typhoid fever. I got so bad that I was al
most constantly coughing and clearing my
throat. The catarrh greatly impaired my
eyesight, and the hearing in one ear, and
reduced my weight to 110 pounds.
"I tried nearly every catarrh remedy ad
vertised, besides a great many different
physicians' treatments, all of which failed
"I bad heard and read of 1'cruna, and
finally decided to try it two months ago.
1 have now taken seven bottles, and
weigh 12 pounds. Never felt happier or
merrier. Feel tip top." A. E. KIDD.

At the Restaurant.
One day during the dinner hour at
a crowded city restaurant, a talkative
lady hailed at) overworked waiter and
ordered dinner for two. This is the
way she did it:
"Waiter! Waiierl Oh, you're here,
are you? I didn't notice. Now, I've
brought tny friend to show her my fa
vorite luncheon place, and I want you
to take particular pains to have every
thing nice. We want a fillet steak fot
two the best you have. Be sure it's
good, won't you? I have told her that
there isn't another place in the city
where you could get a steak cooked so
dcliciously as you can here; and I shall
be so disappointed if it doesn't come
up to our expectations. I want it cook
ed just right not to well done not
raw in the middle, I don't mean, but
not dried up cither. Well, just about
what you would call perfect.
"And, let me sec. Oh. of courc, we
want some potatoes. Tried boiled
mashed. We always have mashed at
home. My husband won't cat them any
other way, and I got so tired of it.
You may bring its boiled no, thev're
so common we'll take fried. And
oh, yes, something to drink. You'll
have tea. Well, I'll take a cup of cof
fee. They say hot milk is more nour
ishing, but never mind. I'll lake the
coffee. Now. you will try and have
everything just as good as you can,
won t you, because Why he didn't
wait for me to finish 1 What imperii
nencc." The man said:
"Cook I Fillet steak fried potatoes-coffee."
Keep the Mind Open.
Auguste Comte once suggested the
desirability of a class of men whose
work it should be to acquire a knowl
edge of the general results atiaincd by
specialists in all branches of science
and by combining and comparing them
to acquire a more correct mode ol
thought about things in general than
is apt to be acquired by a man whose
thoughts work always in the same
channel.
Some men of genius without enroll
ing themselves in any class fulfil, in a
measure, their requirements. One ol
Goethe's most marked characteristics
was his eagerness to avail himself oi
the knowledge of any and every one
who made special study of some par
ticular branch of learning. It was not
in the least necessary that his inform
ant should be well known or famous.
"Original talent that is water to my
mill," said he.
A young musician who visited him
remarked.
"Zclter's music is old-fashioned."
"How old-fashioned? Explain your
self and be precise. Good! There is
the piano. What you have stated must
stand the test of an experiment."
In openness of mind and eagerness
for knowledge at least we may imitate
man of genius.
Advice to the Sleepless.
If you fear a sleepless night, undress
in the dark. Light stimulates and
arouses the activities. Darkness is sup
posed to produce drowsiness. Put some
chopped ice in a rubber bag, and place
it at the lower extremity of the spine.
This is particularly quieting to the
nerves. Do not use anything but a rub
ber bag, or you will merely have a
damp cloth and rheumatism by morn
ing. Do not use a pillow. Relax every
muscle so far as it is possible. Sprawl
over the bed with arms and legs
stretched out. Take a sponge bath with
tepid water just before going to bed.
Lie on your face instead of on your
back. That is the way babies sleep,
and their methods are scarcely to he
improved upon in this particular. All
pressure is removed from the spine by
this means, and a delicious feeling of
restfulness ensues. Make up your mind
that you won't keep awake long
enough to hear some one come in to
outline the next day's work. Ypu will
drop asleep immediately.
A Butcher ol Taste.
There is a butcher in one of the Xcw
Orleans markets who has built up an
immense family trade entirely by rea
son of his taste in doing up parcels of
meat. His modus operandi is very iu
genms. If he is handling a porter
house he places it between two squares
of pasteboard, uses a sheet .of pearl
gray manila paper as a wrapper and
ties it up with baby blue string. The
result is a neat rectangle which has
every appearance of having come from
some fashionable drug store or con
fectioner's. Chops and such like he
stows away -in neat little cardboard
tubes, and he keeps a supply of one
pound candy boxes especially for chick
en livers and chopped sausage. The
system is very effective.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
Central Trad Conditions,
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review ol
trade says:
Heavy transactions in merchandise
are reported, but there is much com
plaint regarding the slow movement of
freight. The situation as to general
lines is aggravated by the precedence
given fuel over all other freight except
live stock and perishable goods. Not
withstanding the extensive increase in
transporting facilities during the past
year, some roads have been compelled
to decline consignments and in many
cases where a large number of cars
were desired only one was provided.
Earnings thus far available for January
surpass last year's by 5 per cent. It
is conspicuous in practically every sec
tion of the country that despite high
prices buying is liberal and of the better
qualities of goods, while dealings as a
rule are on more of a cash basis. De
mand for building materials is unusually
brisk for the season, and prices ol
lumber at the South have advanced.
Although fortunate sections are re
ceiving a better supply of fuel, the sit
uation is still serious, and many pig
iron furnaces have been added to the
idle list.
Trade in leather is better, domestic
shoe manufacturers operating on a
more liberal scale, while export sales
of sole are increasing.
As to cotton goods, the situation
grows steadily stronger, demands for
immediate needs preventing accumula
tion of supplies and leaving an increas
ing number of orders unfilled. A few
open advances in quotations are record
ed, while a quiet curtailment of dis
counts is reported in progress. Export
buying has practically ceased. With
the exception of a few of the finest
grades woolen goods for the fall of
190,1 arc now fully opened.
Firmness has characterized the
course of the leading staples, an abun
dant demand being in evidence, while
available supplies are restricted by traf
fic conditions.
Failures for the week number 265 in
the United States, against 301 last
year, and 27 in Canada, compared with
28 a year ago.

Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman.
Catarrh, with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconqueted
foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy.
At last Peruna eamc to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Hart

JL The cough and the sneeze ond the
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the
most common and dreadful of diseases, is a
cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen
erally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At lust the person has a
cold all the while seemingly, more or less
discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting,
frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils
stopiwd up, full feeling in the head, and
sore, inflamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at
the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna,

While many people have been cured of
chronic catarrh by n single bottle of Pe
runa, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than one
bottle is necessary to complete a cure.
Peruna has cured cases innumerable of
catarrh of twenty years' standing. It is
the best, if not the only internal remedy
for chronic catarrh in existence.
Put prevention is far better thaa cure.

Ancient and Modern Ideas on the Subject.
Time and Disease the Effacing Agents
of Beauty. What Has Scienco Don
to Restore tho Lily and the Rose?
Socrates called beauty a short-lived
tyranny, Plato a prlvtlepe of nature,
Theocritus) a dellphtful prejudice,
Tlieophrnstns a slleutcheut, rnrnende?
a solltnry kingdom. Homer a glorious
gift ot nature, Otld a favor of the
gods. Aristotle ofllrmed that bennty
was better than all the letters t,f recom
mendation In thn world, nnd yet none
of these distinguished authorities ban
left us even a hint of how beauty la to
be perpetuated, or the ravages of ngo
and dinenso defied. Time soon hlemls
the lily und the rose Into the pallor of
nge, disease dots the fair face with
cutaneous distlgurntlons and crlmsorjs
the Roman nose with unsightly Hushes,
moth, If not rust, corrupts tins glory
of eyes, teeth, and lips jet beautiful by
dcfitclng the complexion, ami tills tho
sensitive soul with agony unspeulinble.
If such he tho unhappy condition of
one afflicted with slight skin blemlshe.,
what must be tha feelings or those in
whom torturing hnmor.i have for
years run riot, covering thn skiu w'.h
scales and sores and charging the
blood with poisonous elements to
become a part of the system until
death? It is vain to attempt to por
tray such suffering. Death In many
cases might be considered a blessing.
Tho blood and fluids seem to be im
pregnated wilh a fiery element which,
when discharged through the pores
Upon the surface of the body, Inflames
nnd burns until, in his efforts for relief,
the pntlent tears the skin wilh bis
nails, and not tintli tho blood Hows
docs sufllc'.eut relief come, to cause I1U11
to desist.
Thus do complexions', defects merge
Into torturln,, disease, and piqued van
ity give pbco to real sufferlug. A
llttlo wart on tho nose or cheek glows
to tho nil-devouring lupus, a patc h of
tetter on the pnlin of the hand or on
the llmhs suddenly envelops the bedy
in its fiery cniiirace, a bruise on the 1 g
cxpnuda into a gnawlig ulcer, which
reaches out its fuugs to the sufferer's
heart in every paroxysm of pnin. a
6mull kernel in Urn neck multiplies into
a dozen, which eat uwa the vitality,
great pearl-like scales grow from little
rah-liUo Inflammations In such abun
dance as to pass credulity; und so on
may we depict tho sufferings to which
pour human iir.turo )s Miliject, all of
which involvii great mental distress
because of persoual filsllgiiralions.
If there wero not another external

A sufficient Infliction ou mankind. It

others hive It. co:. fined to sni'ill
patches in the ear, on the i.ealp, tin
the bieast, on the pnlmt of the hands,

distinctive feature .'s a suitill watery
blister, which discharges an acrid
fluid, causing heat, lt:l)aniniatlon, and
lntenso Itching. King-worm, tetter,

6cal7 nnd Itching order of diseases.
I'sorias:-., 't ur inoder a leprosy, with
its molhtr-of-pcarl scale, situated ou
a reddeued base, which bleeds t:pon
'.he rcmovul of tho scale, is to be
dreaaed and avoided, a-i of old. Im
petigo, barber's Itch, erysipelas, nnd a
score of minor disorders make up In
part the catalogue of external diseases
of tho skin. Thus far we l:!vu made
no allusion to those afflictions which
are manifestly Impurities of the blood,
viz. : swelling of the glands of tho
throat, ulcers on tho neck and limb.--,
tumors, abscesses, and niercurKl
poisons, with loss of hr.ir, beoau'e
tho whole list can be comprehended in
tho one word scrofula.
It le in the treatment of torturing,
disllgnring humoro sad affections of
the skin, scalp, and blood, with loss of
hair, that the Cuticura remedies have
achieved their greatest sucees. Orig
inal in composition, scientifically com
pounded, absolutely pure, unchangeable
In any climato, ahvay s ready, and agree
able to the most delicate and fccnslilvc,
they present to young and old the most
successful curative, of modern times.
This will bo consldo ed strung language,
by those acquainted with the c haracter
and obstinacy of blood and skiu humors
but It is justified by Innumerable suc
cesses where all the remedies and meth
ods in voguo have failed to cure, and,
In many cases, to relieve, even.
The Cuticura treatment Is nt onco
