and Sight From Ravages of Pe-ru-na Cured Him. A GREAT many remedies to tempora J\ rily relieve catarrh have been devised from time to time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams aird other local applications, but, ws A rule, the medical profession hus little or no enthusiasm in the treatment of catarrh. It is generally pronounced by them to bo incurable. It therefore created a great sensation in medical circle when Dr. Hartman an nounced that he had devised a compound which would cure catarrh permanently. The remedy was named Peruna. and in a short time became known to thousands of catarrh sufferers north, south, east and west. Letters testifying to the fact that Pe trina is a radical cure for catarrh began to pour in from all directions. Thousands of such letters are on file in the office of The P?rima Medicine Co. Rev. E Stubenvoll. Pella, Wis., writes: "1 feel obliged to extend yon my personal thanks for my complete restoration.

This Chinaman lived on the top floor ol' a house in Pell street. Ho had one room there all to himself-a remark able luxury in this particular tene ment, dignifying him beyond al tho yellow faced denizens of that crowd ed warren. From his grimy window that had never been cleaned since the,' house hod been built he could look across a sooty bristle of chimney po :s and a frayed tangle of clothes linos JO the tall buildings cf the Bowery. From thc narrow street below I e co-ild hoar the gabble of his bid? bloused countrymen, rising gutturally to him when thc weather permitted Jan open window. All day they loungjed down there, in doorways, puffing th?ir long bamboo pipes and chattering, br dodging in and out of the untidy shops whose back rooms reeked with tie sweet smell of opium smoke. At night they were likely to have other amusements-he could see the lights across thc street then in Jim Quongj's place, where he knew they were slap ping down long, black backed fan tE.n cards in the midst of a heavily breath ing crowd of men. Sometimes there w:i a sick man at thc Joss house for tn aient, and tho bong banged and sb od interestingly in his ears. At otb imes the patrol wagon came ami uch uproar, and the streifet fillet once with chattering Chinejse and . ltcncd sightseers and beetlle brow' \bites from the Bowery. . Theio was always something flor Quoy to look at from his top floor win dow. Ho could not go down stairs Be cause he was a very sick man with senora! diseases, the surest being etpn sumption. A Cantonese!-a fellow townsman of his-brought him lida food and opium for a certain consider ation, and burned sticks In the Jdjss hou.se for him now and then. But ?he could never find Quoy's money, evjen when he crept in after the old mali's pipe had rolled out of his hand, a|nd one could soo only the whites of e> es. The only thing beside Quoy \i krew where the money was hide 1er was the dragon. No ene ever saw the dragon exe Dpi Quoy, and he only at certain tim es His father had been acquainted w itt it-it would seem-In Canton; it \ rtn such a family institution that Que y's solitary, whole-room grandeur wo ult have been too lonely without lt.

Thc split mattllni he lay on might grow more apd ni?on gged: the little jade snuff beith ht brook and the odd far-traygtlei j Lares and Penates might fall to pieces, but the dragon was always the sama So long as he kept the black smoke pipe with the lotus mouUi-piece, and the small can of opium, and the pea nut eil lamp at hand, the dragon would como and keep him company. Every night when he was tired of his window and felt a little lonely he ho would light the peanut oil lamp be side the mat. and cook ono fat, bub bling pill of opium af 1er the other on his needle and smoko slowly. The oc casional time-killing pipes of the day no more kept the pains out of his lungs, and It was thc evening's smok ing that was the day's event. When tho air was close and sweet smelling from successive pipes and the small Vamp Hame grew misty, then at last, cut from behind the battered grimy screen across thc room, Quoy's dragon would come crawling little by little Into view, through the floating smoke streaks and dusk, with his pink and buvniohed scales rasping, actual ly, on the rough floor. When he was all in view, his bulk seemed out of all proportion to his screen hiding place His ercat head, with its horns" and long teeth and the saffron beard from its chin, was very nea-r the little lamp between the two big fourpaws. Bo hind, the scaled back and the folded wings, and long, silky tail blended with the smoke streaks and dark ness. So. very sociably, it would set tlc down on one side of the lamp white Quoy, on tho other, rolled his pills ant' looked sleepily into its big red eyes and talked to it about Canton content edly. At the dragon had known his father and Canton city from the Wal Pagoda to tho Flower Boata, Quoy, ir Isolation nnd solitude from his follows was never positively lonely. One night, nearly 20 hours after tht dragon had gone. Quoy woko up fron a long dream a very sick man indeed The several diseases and the Blacl Smoke had pretty nearly finished him and for once the pipe was almost tot far away for him to reach. When lib fellow townsman came in prebentli and chased the shadows off the ma by lighting the peanut oil lamp, Quoj fixed him with his eye and said:: "Go to the missionary man tonigh and tell him to come hero. Tell hin that I shall want him to take mj money and lmy me a coffin and sent me back in it to China." His friend sat down on his heels ant peered prospectively into the'opiun can. "I would dc that as well as tlic mis siouary man," he said -solemnly ant plainly. Quoy's face cracked) in ? ghost of a smile. / "No," he said. "I would not] put < shadow on my friends' conscience Bring him here quickly or no oLe wil ever find it." The friend got up silently and wen out. Quoy managed to pick ijp pipi and needle and :o light, the lamp. Hi smoked his make-up pipo febely.

Now his neighbor had found tho money after many searches, and finally Jim Quong would get lt. The man .was moving toward tho door when then? was a rustle among tile shadows behind the tom screen. He stopped, and ho and Quoy held their breath. The peanut oil lamp and the trickle of street light from tho window hardly li&hted the room, bul. there waa something scraping out from the screen toward the door slow ly, with the thud, thud of great paws and tho dragging of a mighty tail. Now it was bo?or? the doorway! The police carrie leaping up tho tracking thc wtfd shrieks, to thc ten ement's top f??or. As they roached Quoy's door trie last ono died away in side.

"Who did lt?" he asked between two shivers, while Hie police stepped back, lifting their boots. Quoy smiled and dug his needle feebly into thc opium pot. But be fore ho could cook the pill something stopped him, and they never found out.-Now York Evening Sun. OLD AFRICAN GOLD MINES. Evidences of Extensive Operations Carried on Many Years Ago. Rhodesia, or British Zambcsia, ranks among thc chief gold-bearing countries of the world. Thc ancients mined and carried away enormous quantities of the precious metal, but under the scientific mining systems of the present day their operations will be greatly surpassed.? In the recently published work on the "Ancient Ruins of Rho desia," the authors, Messrs. Hall and Neal, endeavor to discover who the an cients were and whither thc gold went. Perhaps Rhodesia was the ancient land of Ophir, the land of the myster ious "King Solomon's mines," but the theory is strongly combated by some investigators. The ancient gold work i ings are thc basis of modern work I* ings. For every ten square miles ol i Rhodesia there was one ancient mine, i that is, there are 75,000 old holes, which I means that a stupendous wealth was ? dug out of tho earth before tho days of Cecil Rhodes. Much of this wealth ? must nave gone to the north and south i lt was probably wrought into the crowi of thc Queen of Sheba and filled tht t coffers of Solomon. The ancient smelting furnaces an 1 still easy to recognize. They are sun* 5 into the floor. The furnace blowpipes } are made of thc finest granite-powdei ' cement, and the nozzles of the blow' ' pipes are covered with splashes of gold J The linings of the holes are coverec 1 with specks of gold. When thc first lin ' ing became worn by the heat, a fresl 1 lining of cement of an excellent qual ' ity, which has outlasted time, wai 3 smeared round on top of the old lining 9 One can take an old lining, split off th< I ! layers with a knife and find gob splaches in abundance. " Apparently thc ancients wasted gold lavishly. Geld has been found in largs quantities in the form of pellets as large as buckshot in thc vicinity of the furnaces, and also thrown away on the debris heaps outside of the old build ings. Thc tools of thc ancient workers which have so far been discovered in clude a small soapstone hammer and burnishing stones of water-worn rock, to which gold still adheres. There are evidences that the ancients carried on an extensive industry in the manufac ture of gold ornaments and utensils. Thirty-five thousand dollars' worth of gold ornaments have been taken in the last five years from thc ruins of Mata belcland alone.- Youth's Companion. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. A short absence quickens love, a long absence kills it. Waste of time Is the most extrava gant and costly of all expenses. The earnestness of life is the only passport to the satisfaction of life. There is no greater disaster in love than the death cf the imagination. The most cowardly lone wolf is the bravest when he has a pack at his back. Originality largely consists in seeing things as they are and telling the truth about them. There Is no joy like thc joy of real virtue, and no music like the music of a good conscience. When there Is love in thc heart there are rainbows in the eyes walch covet every black cloud with gorgeous hues, Before We passionately desire any thing which another enjoys wc should examine into the nappiness of its pos sessor. The grandest warrior is he who fighte against, and conquers thc petty passions which would compromise his dignity as a reasonable being. A selfish heart never understands the pain that ol hers feel In giving neces sary pain, nor tran such a heart se? things from others' point of view.

Every passing storm seemed to wreak Its vengeance on the big elm tree that grew by the roadside. One late winter morning we awoke to find the world transformed by icc on every troc and bush. In wonder and amaze ment we looked abroad. Eut in front of us the elm tree lay a shapeless mass, broken and splintered by thp weight of icc. Already ;he tree had been endeared to us by its many hardships, in which all the family had sympathized. The tree must not perish now. With ropes and pulleys tho great limbs, some of them now several inches in diameter, were drawn back to their places; for every one of them still clung to the parent stock by a strip of bark and wood at its base.

So tightly was the branch drawn to tho trunk that no gaping crack wa3 left, and the crease was heromoticnlly sealed with melted wax. Then higher up, between brancher two or three feet apart, other rods were run to hold all thc members In place. We knew that If the bolts fitted tightly in their holes no harm would come to tho tree; but that if bands were placed about tho branches they would soon crease and girdle tho parts and work much harm.
