ELGIN, ILL.-In a very recent commu nication from this place comes the. news 'that Mr. Arthur Ernest Kidd, a well known architect of that city, bas made complete recovery from catarrh of tho head, from which he had suffered for ^nearly a quarter of a century. He writes from 18 Hamilton ave.: "I am 42 years of agc, and havo had ca tarrh of the head for over half of my life, as a result of scarlet fever, followed by typhoid fever. I got so bad that I waa al most constantly coughing and clearing my throat. The catarrh greatly impaired my eyesight, and the hcaripg in one car, 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 had heard and read of Pcruna, and finally decided to try it two months ago. I have now taken seven bottles, and weigh 172 pounds. Never felt happier or merrier. Feel tip top."-A. E. KIDD.

From nn American traveller lately returned from Mexico comes the fol lowing wonderful and veracious story of Mexican justice: "I went to the land of the Monte zumas a few years ago for my health," said, the returned traveller, "and was staying in a little town not very far from the Texas border. One morning the corpse of a cowboy was found in the bushes in the outskirts of the vil " l?ge. It seems ho had come over from the other side of the Rio Grande to attend a fandango. He indulged a lit tle too freely in Julque while at the dance, aad doubtless excited the jeal ousy of some hot headed Mexican be . cause of too much attention paid to a . dark eyed senorita. At least, that was the theory of the killing, because a bag of money amounting to $300, all In gold, was found on the body, proving that the murder had not been done for robbery. Besides the coln a costly, very costly, sixshooter, sil ver mounted and ivory handled, was strapped around the deceased. The finding of the gun was the occasion of a trial before the local alcalde, or justice of the peace. It was against [!tho law to carry weapons, and the hlead man was fined $300, just the im they found on him, for violating io Mexican statute.-New York Tri? ; WELL EQUIPPED.

SENATOR SPROUL, of Dela ware County, has beeu nutting to good usc thc interval of legislative Inactivity in Penn sylvania by preparing a good roads Dill for later consideration. He pro poses to put public road building in tho State under the control of a State Highway Commission, to consist of three men, who shall appoint a State Highway Engineer with supervisory powers. The State*is to appropriate 51,000.000 annually; the Highway .De partment is to contribute and require scientific methods of construction, and whatever amount mny be expended lu any township is to be borne in equal proportions by thc township, the coun ty and the State. This would necessi tate a yearly expenditure of ?3.00?,000 Tor road betterment. Thc bill contains 3ther suitable provisions for adjusting the old system of road supervision lo the new method proposed. Tho object of this bill is altogether meritorious. It would bc bettered, however, by weding out of it thc op portunity for political engineering. It would be an improvement, for exam ple, if the three State Highway Com missioners should all bo competent engineers, and if the counties of Ibo State should bc so divided as to give them all a field of jurisdiction and employment. This would make It un necessary to appoint another mau to do the work while the three Comissloners should look on, and would secure cumu lative official service. Three million dollars could hardly J>e spent to better advantage in Pennsyl vania than ia buddins good roads. Money so used would bring instant ad vantage to the tax-paying contributor. It would so cheapen transportation as to add to the profit of production, and so contribute to the comfort of move ment as to add length of life and hap piness to living. Senator Sproul Is on the right track If ho can only so shape his bill that the money contributed shall go straight and whole into scientific road-making without diversion to thc machine grnb bag.-Philadelphia Record. Good Roads in Folltfrs. The good roads movement has made such progress in New York State and has won the approval of the people so thoroughly that there is a constant rivalry between the Republican and Democratic parties in that State as to which shall present tho most satis factory good roads plank in its plat form. This zeal for sood roads does not die with the election. New York State has a very good roads law, though doubtless, as the Democrats claim, it ls open to improvement, so ns to give more good roads. The criticism ls made that thc im proved roads in New York Sta ie aro too much in unconnnected sections. They arc not continuous, so that In traveling considerable distances the enjoyment of the hard bottomed im proved roads is marred by thc neces sity of traversing occasional sections of the old stye road of dust or mud. It is a happy condition when there is no longer the need of a demand for the construction of good roads generali}', but merely the complaint that there are gaps remaining of the old discred ited dirt roads. Good roads halt in Pennsylvania, the demand being met by a layy-furl'of promises, which, being, unsupported by appropriatipnSr^Tave never been reallzecJ-i?-^p""erformauce. New York, New' Jersey and Massachusetts are 'Jeach making progress in road recon struction, while Pennsylvania stands still. Perhaps wheu good roads aro made a party Issue, as in New York, something will be done. We have had road commissions and legislation on thc subject. The opposition to road improvement on account of its sup posed cost has about died out But t*:e actual building of improved roads In Pennsylvania on a large seale has not yet commenced. Philadelphia in its suburbs and two of its adjoining townships have some Improved roads of thc first quality. They show what good roads aro and what they can do for a neighborhood. It ls possible, however, that for this State good roads must wait until the politicians sec that there arc votes to bc had hero for good roads as well as in New York State-Philadelphia Press. _ _ A Good Omen. Perhaps it is a good omen that the first bill introduced lu the House of Repi tentatives was oue to appropriate money for the establishment in the De partment of Agriculture of a bureau of good roads. Good roads would do good to all men. The United States, instead of having the worst roods within tho limits of civilization, should have the best. It is a curious contradiction that Americans insist on fast railroad trains, fast ships, fast mails, fast horses and fast autos, but also apparently insist Dn slow roads. As a city s/iould have good streets, so should tlc country have good roads. Roads heavy witli mud or dust or rough with ruts and hills aro not only an evidence of un thrift, but a bar to progress. Ruts and lulls arc almost as much of a check cn intercourse as tollgates. But the good roads movement has struck deep In men's minds, and will grow till bad roads shall have been made good. Good roads are a paying Investment. They promote neighbor hood Intercourse, bring the school, church and farm house nearer to each other, reduce the distauco between thc market and the farm. Increase the lon gevity of wagons and economize horse power. A Trolley Car Episode. Tho rain was coming down in tor rents and thc car was crowded. Af Tenth and Market streets a sour look lng old fellow got in. holding an um brella that was shedding torrents ct its own. Glaring angrily about, as if he thought somebody ought to get up and offer him a seat, he finally planted himself before a meek looking woman, who was making herself as small as possible in a little corner by the door, and placed the ferule of his streaming umbrella on one of lier feet. woman looked up at him in a dismay, but he stared ead, still with thc JOKES IN BRICKS AND BRASS. History ai It Ban Sometimes Keen Mad by Wi ti-Russian General's Grim Jost. In the year 1G79 thu Danus made a descent on Hamburg, then, as now, thc great seaport of the German con federacy. But the good people of. Hamburg had had warning of the con templated attack. They were ready, and the Danish soldiers met with so hot n reception that they were ouly too glad to take a hurried departure, leaving many of their number dead and dying behind them as a result of tho conflict. The Hamburgers struck a coin to commemorate thc event, and ono of these coins has lately been sold among a collection which belonged to a de ceased collector in Berlin. On one side are these words: "Thc King of Denmark has been to Hamburg. If thou wouldst know what lie achieved, look on the ot lier side." You tn:- thu :oin over, and the other sido is-a blank. There are more than one of these historic jokes to bc seen in various parts of the world. A notable one is a monument in the market place at Coblentz. When Napoleon's conquering anny marched through this city on its way to crush Russia, a French general erected this monument to celebrate his victorious progress, and on it carved an inscription, setting fori h Ihe fact that Coblentz had been added to tho French Empire, and signed with his own name. A few months later, and a Russian general entered the town, but in pur suit of broken regiments of starving Frenchmen. He saw thc monument nnd read the grand inscription. He did not blot it out, but with grim irony he carved beneath them, "Seen nnd approved by me,", and he added his name. So thc words remain to this day., There ls a curious old almshouse In tho Herefordshire town of Leomins ter. On tho outside wall is a rude carving of a mau armed with a heavy hatchet. Underneath are these words: "He who gives away all before he Is dead, let him take up this hatchet and chop off his head." A former inhabi tant of the town was the builder of these almshouses, and so charitable was he that at thc age of about sixty ended his days in thc very almshouse he himself had built, and before he died he requested that this amusing warning might be inscribed for tho benefit of posterity.-Answers. WORDS OF WISDOM. Worry is forethought gone to seed. It Is not how long, but how well we live. To know temptation docs not dis honor. A clear conscience can bear any trouble. Never sacrifice comfort for thc sake of appearances. Industry ls fortune's right hand, and frugality her left. It isn't conscience that makes cow ards of us all, perhaps, but cowardice that gives us conscience. Nothing undermines thc health of tho soul so much as selfishness, which, in fact, is tho root of nil evil. To a normal heart pleasures wliu>tf' in some way canuot bc shared awflike gritty bread-necessary, pcrjil?ps, but. distasteful. Moro likely is \tjt?x small love will bring great lovo/denvn to its own lovel than that tho largo love wili make thu small increase. The greatest wisdom Is a knowledge of our Ignorance. Tho moro we learn, the/more we realize how much knowl edge is beyond us. If the men who do nothing but think would work a little moro, and the men who do norning but work would think a little more, there would bo much moro happiness for both. Failure does not necessarily imply personal weakness. The strongest men of to-day, in business r ad financial re sources, were many of them weaklings who failed a few years ago and have since recouped by thc exhibition of per sonal strength. If you fail once keep up your courage and try again. Distrust of Left-Handed I?arbcrs. "1 have struck all kinds of barbers Ir my trips about the country," said the man who travels, "but the one kine that always makes mc feel as if I was balanced on the very brink of eternity is the left-handed barber. I have been shaved by several of their class in thc past year. They have been good bar bers, too, every one of them, but no ai?tter how well they knew their busi ness they always gave me a bad turn, nnd every time they drew tho razor across my face I felt as if life and I were about ready to part company. Of course lt ls foolish, but nowadays when'I find myself assigned to a left handed barber I leave the shop on some pretext or other and go else where to be beautified. Other men whom I have sounded on the subject have confessed to the same weakness, aud women have told me that they have a like unexplainable dread of left handed hairdressers. In thc dressmak ing business, too, I am told, a left handed cutter and fitter is pretty sure to give the customer a crop of goose llcsh, while even a harmless occupa tion like manicuring can always bc re lied on to produce real shivers if pur sued by a person whose cleverness lies in her left hand."-New York Times. TolcKraphlnjr From Trains. Recently wireless telegraphic signals 1 were received on a special railroad train running at the rate of sixty miles an hour between Toronto and Mon treal. The messages were sent from a station at St. Dominique, and thc train remained in communication willi thc station over a distance of eight 01 ten miles. The electric waves were transmitted by means of two vibrators, ten by twelve feet, connected with an induction coil giving an eight-incli spark, and were received on the train by an ordinary coherer. Tho connect ing wires were run through tho signal cord guides inside thc Irain, extending about one car length on each side ol tho coherer. Tile signals were rend ered audible by a relay ringing bells in three cars.-Youth's Companion. Thc Colt nnd Its Hider. Once upon a time a man tried to ride ?n the back of a very young colt, which objected very much to his doiu^ so, and there was quite a struggle be tween the two, with plunging by the colt and clinging by the man. Finally the colt threw the man over his head, depositing him upon the ground without injury; but thc man. determined not to bc defeated, pursued thc colt and, capturing him, proceeded to again mount, with some difficulty. was another struggle, trilled rc, with thc man pros Hind, but this time li? MARRIAGE AND INSURANCE. "Wife" Includes a Second Wife in Life Policies. Probably few persons will dispute tho proposition that in common par lance If a married man speaks of his wife ho intends to refer to her who la his wife at that time, and does not contemplate her death and a second wife, whom he may subsequently marry. But suppose a married man effects a policy o! Insurance on his own life under the Married Women's Property Act, 1882, "for the beneOi of his wife and childlrcn," and after hls then wife's death the assured mai. rles again and has a second family. Will.the second wife and her chl'dren be entitled upon the death of the hus band to share In the policy moneys? This waa the question before Mr. Jus tice Kekewich in a case at the. end of last week, and "he held that the sec ond wife and her children are en titled to share. The decision appears to be la accordance with good sense as well as law.. As the learned judge observed in giving Judgment, the pre sumption that when a married man speaks of ids wife he Intends his wife at the time loses weight when an in strument like a policy of Insurance, which is Intended to make provision for a wife and children after the hus band's death, has to be construed. The husband In all probability intends to provide for those who survive him, and for that reason stand in need of the provision; and this conclusion is strengthened by the reflection that as he cannot reasonably be supposed to have intended to benefit only the children living at thc date of the policy to thc exclusion of after-born children of the then existing wife, there ap pears to be no good rason why the children by the second wife and the second wife herself should not also share. There is no reason why the trust in favor of thc wife and children which the act of 18S2, mentioned above creates, should not Include objects as yet unascertained. Upon these grounds it was held that by "wife and child ren" the husband intended his surviv ing wife (if any) and his surviving children, whether by his then living or any after-taken wife.-London Tele, graph. Tears Up the Street. A track-breaking machine is used for tearing up old street railway tracks, says tho Engineering News. The machine resembles a box car, with two heavy iron arms projecting in front and extending toward the ground. A heavy chain along each arm passes over a sheave at the end, aid has strong hooks by which thc chain ls attached to the rail. When tho chains are hauled in by thc wind ing engine on the car the track is torn up bodily, ties and paving being so loosened that they are easily removed. The machine has greatly facilitated thc work of tearing up old cable rail way tracks, embedded in concrete., as' without lt the breaking up of ^concrete by picks and sledges woldd"have been very tedious, -Where these tracks have been,-torn up cross trenches are rougMy^fnade for wooden ties, leaving thje^Iarge mass of old ur disturbed con crete between.

Reporter Becomes Involuntary Mem ber of Cavalry Corp3. "While not a participant In any bat tle during the war," says an old news paper man, "I had a very uncomfort able time as an involuntary member of a cavalry troop. In 18G3 there was a cavalry camp and a corral of horses near Glesboro Point, several thousand of the latter being in the' enclosure. Ono night tho animals stampeded, breaking down the fences, and in droves spread over much of lower Maryland. News of this reached, me, and, being well acquainted with some of the officers there, I made my way to the place. It being Saturday, I intended, besides writing one or two paragraphs for that dato, to get tho material for an extended account ?with the scenes and incidents for a future, issue. At the offices I got a few facts and wrote a short account, which I sent to the office by boat. Some of the officers and clerks commenced to glvo Wme particulars, when one suggested that I take one of the horses and rido to the scene, a couple of miles further down. There were perhaps a dozen cavalry horses hitched to the rack, and being but a poor rider at best I was rather slow in selecting my steed, but made the mistake of choosing one GO? cause he looked Uko an old, steady beast For some distance after mounting tho animal he jogged along pleasantly. At length we came to a field to the right of the road where a company was being drilled. The sound of a bugle was heard, and ere I could gather th<? reins my old horse had galloped to the left of the line. Another bugle blast set the line in motion In a trot by twos, and still another changed It to a company front and a gallop. There was I at the left, holding tight to the bridle and pommel, expecting every minute to be thrown off. Then the bugle sounded halt, and every hoof came down with a thud, while I by tho uso of both hands, retained my place somewhere on the horse's back or neck. "By this time a drilling officer, a rather fal man, was shaking his sides with laughter at my discomfiture, and the men were merry as well. I told them where I was going, and the offi cer commanded a corporal to escort me down the road, saying, 'Perhaps that old stager will behave when ho gets out of hearing.' Then we started again, but fearful that the horse would respond to another call, he was turned hack, and the very extended notica of the stampede did not appear."-? Washington Evening Star.

'03) Ancient and Modern I Time and Disease tl of Beauty. What I to Restore the Lil] Socrates called beauty a short-lived tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature, Theocritus a delightful prejudice, Thcophrastus a silent cheat, Carneados a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the gods. Aristotle afllrmed that beauty was better t han all the letters of recom mendation in the world, and yet none of these distinguished authorities has left us even a hint of how beauty ia to be perpetuated, or the ravages of age and disease defied. Time soon blends the Illy and the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots the fair ?ace with cutaneous disfigurations and crimsons the Roman nose with unsightly flushes, moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory of eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by defacing the complexion, and lilla the sensitive soul with agony unspeakable.. If such be the unhappy condition of one afflicted with slight skin blemishes, what must be tho feelings of those In whom torturing humors have for years run riot, covering the skin with 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. The blood and fluids seem to be im pregnated with a fiery element which, when; discharged through the pores upon the surface of the body, Inflames and burns' until, in his efforts for relief, the patient tears thc skin with his nails, and not until thc blood flows does sufficient relief come to cause him to desist. Thus do complexional defects merge Into torturing disease, and piqued van ity give place to real suffering. A little wart on the nose or cheek grows . to the all-devouring lupus, a patch of tetter on the palm of the hand or on the limbs suddenly envelops thc body in Its fiery embrace, a bruise on the leg expands into a gnawing ulcer, which reaches out its fangs to the sufferer's heart in every paroxysm of pain, a small kernel lu thc neck multiplies into a dozen, which eat away the vitality, great pearl-like scales grow from little rash-like Inflammations in such abun dance as to pass credulity ; and so on may we depict thc sufferings to which poor human nature ia subject, all of which Involve great mental distress because of personal disfiguratious. If there were not another external disease known, eczema alone would be a sufficient Infliction on mankind. It pervades all classes, and descends im partially through generations.

Gui leura Soap contains in a modified form the medicinal properties of Cutl cura Ointment, the great skin cure and purestand sweetest of emollients, com bined with the most delicate and re freshing of flower odors. It purifies and invigorates the pores of the ?kln, and imparts activity to thc oil glands and tubes, thus furnishing an outlet for unwholesome matter, which If re tained would cause pimples, black heads, rashes, oily, mothy skin, and other complexional disfigurations, as well as scalp affections and Irritations, falling hair, and baby rashes. Its gen tle and continuous action on thenat?ral lubricators of the skin keeps the latter transparent, soft, flexible, and healthy. Heneetta-copatant-sse, atslai?d byan. occasional use of Cuticura Ointment, realizes the fairest complexion, tho softest, whitest hands, and the most iuxuriant, glossy hair within thc do main of the most advanced scientific knowledge to supply. Cutlcura Ointment is the most suc cessful external curative for torturing, disfiguring humors of the skin and scalp, Including loss of hair, in proof of which a single anointing with it, preceded by a hot bath with Cutlcura Soap, aud followed in the severer cases by a full dose of Cutlcura Resolvent, is sufficient to afford immediate relief In the most distressing forms of Itching, burning, and ?-caly humors, permit rest and sleep, and point to a speedy cure when all other remedies fail.

Ita M One Night Treatment of the Hands," or " Single Treatment of the Hair," or use after athletics, cycling, golf, ten nis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each in connection with the use of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence of this. Of all remedies for the purification of the blood and circulating fluids, none approaches lu specific medical action Cuticura Resolvent. It neutralizes and resolves away (hence its name) scrofu lous, inherited, and other humors-in the blood, which give rise to swellings of the glands, pains in the bones, and torturing, disfiguring eruptions of thc skin and scalp, with loss of hair. Cutlcura Kesolvent extends its puri fying influence by means of the pores to thc surface of the skin, allaying irritation, inflammation, itching, and burning, aud soothing and healing. Hence its success in thc treatment of distressing humors of thc skin, scalp, and blood, with loss of hair, which fail to be permanently cured by external remedies alone.
