How far is the regular phys­ ician useful to us because we believe la fcim, and how far are his pills and powdeia and tonics only the material representa­ tives of his personal influence on our health? _ The regular doctors cure; the homceo- p&tbic doctors cure; the Hahpemannttwi cure; and so do the faith cures and the mind cures, and the so-called Christian scientists, and the four-dollar-and-a-half advertising itinerants, and the patent medio cine men.

CATARRH. l|Ot l<oeal, but Con nutritional. t>r. 1Mb Lewis, the eminent Boston physi­ cian, in a recent magazine article says: «A radical error underlies nearly all medical treatment of catarrh. * * * It is not a dis­ ease of the man's nose; It is a disease of the man showing itself in the nose--a local ex­ hibition of a constitutional trouble." There­ fore, he argues, that the uso of snuff and other local applications is wrong, and while they seem to give temporary relief, they really do more harm than good. Other lead­ ing authorities agree with Dr. Lewis. Hence, the only proper method of cure for catarrh is by taking a constitutional rem­ edy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, reach­ ing every part of the body through the blood, does eliminate all impurities and makes the whole man healthier. It removes the cause of the trouble and restores the diseased membrane to proper condition. That this is the practical result is proven by thousands of people who have been cured Of catarrh by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla.

It was near the close of day--the fourth of July, 1800--that I found my­ self by a spring brook that crossed the old "Traverse Trail," about four or five miles south of Pine River, and about thirty miles south of Grand Traverse Settlement, in Michigan. I had parted with my wife and babe attho Settlement that morning, and, wearied by my long walk, I was re­ joiced to find this beautiful bubbliug brook of crystal, cool water with which to slake my thirst and bathe my heated brow. I was on my way to Kalamazoo, and had about fifty miles more of this lonely, desolate wilderness to traverse before reaching the next settlement; or, as the Traverse people would have said, before I could get "outside." As it was near suu-down, and water was an object along this trail, I decided to camp here tor the night, I accord­ ingly went a few yards up the brook and discovered a little log hut covered with bark, which had probably been the winter quarters of some trapper or hunter the previous winter. "This is the very place I have been wishing for," thought I, and I soon be­ gan to gather some dry fuel with which to smoke away the ravenous mosquitos, which hovered about like swarmin bees. After fixing a snug li of hemlock boughs in one co cabin on which to repose. I my pocket a paper and tried but jcould not;. the letters w?Wff5 all jgether. After several attempts is, I put tlie paper in my then filled ati<l lighted my pipe; ^e, indescribable feteling came ^ me; I began to grow restless and measy, when a strange whisper came to my ear, distinctly calling my name. " i)ou't stop here; this cabin is haunt­ ed," I oonfess that I was startled; I looked about and tried to disoover from whenoe the strange whispers came, but no clue could I discover. I stepped out of the cabin and looked around; the birds were warbling their evening carol; tlie sun, which was just setting, looked like like a great ball of fire, and the wiud made a dreary, lonesome noise among the tall pine and hemlock trees, which stood thickly about on all sides. I meditated only a moment; my resolve was quickly 'taken. I stepped back into the hut, picked up my carpet-sack and started. Xt was only a few steps to the trail, and as soon as I reached it I stopped and meditated a moment, and then I was ready to retrace my steps. "What a fool I am," thought I, "to leave this comfortable little cabin and this delightful brook, and here, just at night, start out on • this lonesome old trail and, ten to one, get lost! No, I'll risk the phantoms and stay here." After returning to the cabin I pro­ cured more fuel, and then tried to read again, but could not concentrate my mind long enough upon any article to finish it. I flung the paper down, filled and lighted my pipe again, and in the course of ah hour or so I was pretty well com­ posed. Wearied with my long walk, it was scarcely dark when I sought .my hem­ lock couch, and prayed fervently that sweet Morpheus might take charge of me and release my mind from worldly care till the incoming of another day. A half hour later I had fallen into a gentle slumber of five or ten minutes' duration, when a fearful scream aroused me from my lethergy. In an instant I was brightening up my fire, which by this time had nearly died out. In a few moments it was burning brightly. For perhaps a minute I remained in breathless silence, as if paralyzed, striving to catch the slightest sound, but the dull, dreary rustling of the leaves, . with an occasional sough and moan of the-breeze, as it swept with a varying current through the tall pices and hemlock, was all that I could now distinguish with the sense of hear­ ing. My reverie was soon disturbed by a sound entirely different from the pre­ ceding, but so frightful and unearthly that I fairly sank down paralyzed with fear! There immediately arose a succession of the most horrible noises l ever heard, sounds as of a desperate struggle just oelow me by the brook, with snarlings, growliags, and gnashing of teeth, com­ mingled with yells and groans, bellow- ings of pain, terror, and despair. "Great heavens!" thought I, "what can it be ? I have been in the woods hunting and trapping for months at a time, have camped out many a night all alone fifty miles from any habitation, and never before heard such unearthly noises! Here I am unarmed and some monster of the woods is about to devour me! Oh, God! what a thought! "What would become of my dear wife and babe? My blood fairly curdled in mv veins; but, thank God, I have a good pocket-knife and a stout cane, and if I must die I will not give up without a desperate straggle." My fire now burned brightly and looked rather cheerful within, but with­ out those unearthly groans, screams, and frightful growls made it dismal enough indeed. Presently I ventured to the doorway, with my pocket-knife in one hand, my cane in the other, cud addressed my in­ truder as follows: "If you are a man," (T thought it might be possible that some hunters were trying to play a joke on toe,) "come forward and make yourself, known and you shall share my humble coucli with me and be forgiven for jour little joke and treated with oourteay In every respect." Before I had finished the sentenoe I saw something creeping toward me, and when within about fifty feet of me it commenced a round of those horrid noise again. It nearly paralyzed me this time, for I was satisfied now be­ yond a doubt that it was a panther! I seized a fire-brand and hurled it at him; but he only moved back a little farther in the thicket, gr6wiifig savagely as he did so. He circled the cabin a hatf-d^xen times during the night, and would in­ variably come back and take his stand in front of the door. Whenever the fire burned low he would venture closer to the door, all the time growling savagely. I" do be­ lieve if I had not "lectured" him several times during the night, and threatened him with instant death, he would have come in and given me battle! He watched me as close as a cat would watch a mouse, and every time I would stir or move he would growl savagely, which caused me to shake as if in an ague. Oh, how I wished for my, trusty rifle, which I had left at home, little dream­ ing I would so soon need it so badly. "Oh, that long, dismal, "dreadful night--would that I could forget itl For even now I can only recall it with feelings of horror. About two hours before day my fuel began to get scarce, and the panther begau to grow bolder. "My God!" thought I, "if my fuel gives out I will surely be torn to pieces nnd devoured by this carnivorous beast!" I scraped up all the loose rubbish I could find, such as chips, pieces of bark and leaves, and put them on the fire, but they only lasted a few mo­ ments; the tire began to die out again, and this time the panther ventured to the very door, his eyes glaring like two balls of fire, while he growled furiously!" Happy thought! "I can brighten up the fire with the bark which covers the hut!" No sooner said than done. I be­ gan pulling down the bark and putting it upon the fire, and in a few moments it was bnrning brightly again, which caused the panther to retreat a littie from the doorway. As the first streak of gray appeared in the east, the panther Bet up a round of heart-rendering, hair-raisiug noises as he retreated to the eastward, and then all noises ceased, and that was the last I heard of him. I left the cabin at the first dawn of day. and for the first two or three miles jn*:rney, it would have taken a torse to have kept up with me. in rise I stopped long enough to 'Id breakfast, and then on again, __ .before the sun went down that evening I reached the Dry i'rairie Set­ tlement, which was fifty-five miles from the "Haunted Cabin," or, as 1 after­ wards christined it, the "Panther's Den." I cannot explain the strange present­ ment, but must say it was the most hor­ rible night I ever experienced. A Liberal Patron of Art, "Four tintypes fbr twenty-five cents! Gosh! That's cheap." A yellow haired man with a red headed wife and six towheaded children stood in front of a one story photo­ graphic. studio on the North Hide and stared at a sign in the window. "That's cheap," he repeated. "Well go in here, Liz, This is the place we've been a-lookin' for." The profession moved inside the tem­ ple of art. "Can you put the whole bilin' of us unto a tintype?" he inquired of the photographer. "les." "Then go ahead. I'lf take four of 'em." The photographer grouped the entire aggregation in front of a classic Grecian background, turned the camera in that direction, and the pictures soon were ready. "Do they suit you?" he inquired, bringing them the light for inspection. "They're bang up. Ain't they, Liz?" Liz expressed the opinion that the portraits yere perfect. "You understand, of course," «aid the proprietor of the studio, "that 25 cents for four tintypes means 25 dents for each one of you? "Gosh! 1 don't understand any such thing. That ain't what your sign says out there." "The sign on a carettesays, 'Five cents fore,' but you can't ride on one with your whole family for 5 cents, can you?" "That's different. Them pictures is just the same size as if there WAS only one of us, ain't they?" "Two dollars, please." "It's a blamed swindle." "Two dollars!" • "I won't pay it, by gum!" "I'll hang them out and put a sign on them: 'Not paid for.'" "Do it!" roared the yellow haired pilgrim, marshaling the procession in single file aud marching outside at the head of it.

Fetftical Whoops Worth Slo a 'Hoop, When the janitor arrived at the hall Saturday afternoon to make ready for the meeting he found that the bear- trap guarding the second landing had been sprung. Looking about him, he found a shoe-heel, a piece of steel watch chain, a rest buckle, and half a plug of tobacco, and he had no trouble in ar- riving at the conclusion that another at­ tempt--the fourteenth--had been made to destroy Paradise Hall. He raised no alarm, however, and said not a word until Brother Gardner arrived. The result of their whispered conversation was that, after the meeting had been opened in due form, the President looked up and down the hall and queried: "Air Brudder Clingstone Davis pres­ ent to-night?" "He am," answered a froice, and the Brother arose. j "You will step this l^ay. Now, Brud­ der Davis, hold up your heels." "W-what fur, tali?" "Kase I want to see 'em." Clingstone reluctantly exposed the soles of his broad shoes. One of them had a new heel. "Brudder Davis, what was you doir. when you losted dat ole heel?" asked the President. "Fell down, sab.* ; "Didn't fall into £* b'ar-trap, did you?" •. ": v. . Vv , ; *N-no, sah." ' - * What was you doift'- o& de stair­ way?" "I dun forgot my pipe, an' enm baok to look fur it." "Y-e-s, I see. Brudder Davis, I has got a word or two to say to you. I know.you to be lazy, shiftless, an* sort o' wicked. I has had my eye on you fur a hull v'ar. Dar am no doubt in my mind dat you had some wicked ob- jick in view in tryin' to git into dis hall. I can't prove it, an' so we can't bounce you out o' de club. It am plain 'nuff, howeber, dat you ought to receive a solemu warnin' to check you in your mad career." "Ize mighty sorry, sah." "Dat's no excuse. Brodder Giwa- daui Jones, you will take dis pusson out into do ante-room an' gin him a series of electric shocks to roiiRe his moral sentiments. De shocks better be purty heavy, as his is a hard case." Clingstone didn't return to the hall after the performance, which Giveadam Jones said was a great success. "Air Brudder Hardfinish Smith heah to-night?" asked the President after the other case had been disposed of. The brother was at the back end of the hall, a shoe off nnd working at a callous about as big as a silver dollar. He got into shape as soon as possible, his eyes bulging out with excitement, and when he stood before the platform the President said: "Brudder Smith, I understand you is fx>lin' around wid politics a good deal." "No, sah." "Didn't yon help rum a ward eatteus las' week P" "I went around dar*, but I didn't run nuffin'." "Didn't I pass along by dat caucus an' hear you whoopin' fur somebody?" "I jist hollered once." "Brudder Smith, I have a word or two of advice fur you. De nex' time you whoop fur any white man in poli­ tics, doan' do it fur 50 cents. Doan* do it fur lessen $10.

"Den Ize gwine to drap 'em. It's de Jas' time I eber whoop." "Well, we'll gin you a show. You can sot down, but you'd better walk mighty soft. We hain't no room heah fur bummers." Brother Smith had only taken his peat when the President inquired it Brother Convulsive Jones was in the hall. He was. He was asked to stop to the front, and when he got there Brother Gardner said. "Brudder Jones, I understand yoa is gwine to move ober to de Stait of Ohio?" "Yes, sah." "An' when you git dar* you Is gwine to be married ?" "Yes, sah." "Dat is good an' well.

It was not so very long ago that a friend of mine and myself were hunting, hunting--er--er-- raobits (happily) in the wilds of North­ ern Canada, and being desirous of rest­ ing one day while out on a tramp we entered a k»nely log cabin inhabited by an oid couple. The furniture was very scanty and a chair had been utilized as a table, the old woman placing a crock of buckwheat batter on it. She had a large famiiv of cats roaming at large who seemed to have a peculiar desire to see the contents of the crock, and finally a little fellow leaned too far over the edge, and in he went, plump! The old woman unconcernedly reached over and grabbed the kitten by the tail held it yelling aloft while she stripped the bat­ ter sticking to it back into the crock, tossing the kitten out into the yard when the operation was completed."
