NASAL CATARRH FOR YEARS.
SO-CALLED CATARRH CURES
FAILED TO CURE
The True Way in to Take the One True
lilood Purliler.
Catarrh is caused by impure blood. The
best physicians say so. The only way to
cure catarrh is to purity the blood. Hood's
Sarsaparilla cures catarrh when all other
medicines tail, because Hood's sarsaparilla
is The Only True Wood Purifier. This is
logical, and that it is true is proved by
thousands of testimonials like this:
"I was troubled with nasal catarrh for
many years. I doctored for it, and at one
time took a dozen bottles of a so-called
catarrh cure, but without beneficial etlect.
I had read of cases where others
Had Heen ('ured by Hood's
Surs ,>arilla, and I determine I to try it. 1
took live bottles last year, and was highly
pleased with the relief obtained. I have
had no particular trouble from catarrh
since that time except a slight intlamation
when I catch cold. I have proved, in my
case, that Hood's Sarsaparilla will cure
catarrh, and I also derived benefit in a
general way from its use. It is an excellent
remedy, and I am glad to give my experi-
ence with it for catarrh for the benefit of
those who may be similarly alliicted."

Liliuokalani, the dethroned queen ot
Hawaii, has purchased a large plot of
ground in Austria, not far from Vien-
na. Foreign papers say that she will
live in Austria permanently. A palace
will be built upon the grounds, it is
announced, which will be in keeping
with the occupant's former rank.
Catarrh Cannot ltn Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease. Ca-
tarrh is a blood or constitutional disease,
and In order to cure it you must take in-
ternal remedies Hall's Catarrh Cure Is
taken internally and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Ca-
tarrh Cure Is not a quack medicine. It
was prescribed by one of the best phy-
sicians in this country for years, and is
a regular prescription. It is composed of
the best tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combina-
tion of the two Ingredients is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in curing
Catarrh. Send for testimonials, free.

With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys-
ic Soal ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that. so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere. Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Washington, Dec. 13, 189G.—In this
sermon from a bible scene never used
in sermonic discourse, Dr. Talmage
draws some startling lessons, and tears
off the masque of deceit. The text is
I. Kings 14:6: "Why feignest thou
thyself to be another?"
In the palace of wicked Jero-
boam there is a sick child, a very sick
child. Medicines have failed; skill is
exhausted. Young Abijali, the prince,
has lived long enough to become very
that his prayers would not be an-
swered, and so he sends his wife on the
delicate and tender mission to the
prophet of the Lord in Shiloh. Put-
ting aside her royal attire, she puts on
the garb of a peasant woman, and
starts on the road
ing gold and gems, as she might have
carried from the palace, she carries
only those gifts which seem to Indicate
that she belongs to the peasantry—a
few loaves of bread and a few cracknels
and a cruse of honey. Yonder she goes,
hooded and veiled, the greatest lady in
all the kingdom, yet passing unob-
served. No one that meets her on the
highway has any idea that she is the
first lady in all the land. She is a
queen in disguise. The fact is that
Peter the Great, working in the dry
docks of Saardam, the sailor's hat and
the shipwright's axe gave him no more
thorough disguise than the garb of the
peasant woman gave to the queen of
Tirzah. But the prophet of the Lord
saw the deccit. Although his physical
eyesight had failed, he was divinely il-
lumined, and at one glance looked
through the imposition, and he cried
out: "Come in, thou wife of Jero-
boam. Why feignest thou thyself to
be another? I have evil tidings for
thee. Get thee back to thy house, and
when thy feet touch the gate of the
city, the child shall die." She had a
right to ask for the recovery of her son;
she had no right to practice an impo-
sition. Broken-hearted now, she start-
ed on the way, the tears falling on the
dust of the road all the way from
Shiloh to Tirzah. Broken-hearted now,
she is not careful any more to hide her
queenly gait and manner. True to the
prophecy, the moment her feet touch
the gate of the city, the child dies. As
she goes in, the soul of the child goes
out. The cry in the palace is joined by
the lamentation of a nation, and as they
carry good Abijah fo his grave, the air
is filled with the voice of eulogy for the
departed youth, and the groan of an
afflicted kingdom.
The story of the text impresses me
with the fact that royalty sometimes
passes in disguise. The frock, the veil,
the hood of the peasant woman hid
the queenly character of this woman
of Tirzah. Nobody suspected that she
was a queen or a princess as she passed
by, but she was just as much a queen
as though she stood in the palace, her
robes inerusted with diamonds. And
bo all around about us there are prin-
cesses and queens whom the world
does not recognize. They sit on no
throne of royalty, they ride in no char-
tot, they elicit no huzza, they make no
pretense, but by the grace of God they
are princesses and they are queens.
Sometimes in their poverty, sometimes
In their self-denial, sometimes in their
hard struggles of Christian service—
God knows they are queens; the world
does not recognize them. Royalty
passing in disguise. Kings without
the crown, -onquerors without the
palm, empresses without the jewel.
You saw her yesterday on the
street. You saw nothing important in
her appearance, but she is regnant over
a vast realm of virtue and goodness—
a realm vaster than Jeroboam ever
looked at. You went down into the
house of destitution and want and suf-
fering. You saw the story of trial
written on the wasted hand of the
mother, on the pale cheeks of the chil-
dren, on the empty bread-tray, on the
flreless hearth, on the broken chair.
You would not have given a dollar for
all the furniture in the house. But by
the grace of God she is a princess. The
overseers of the poor come there and
discuss the case and say, "It's a pau-
per." They do not realize that God has
burnished for her a crown, and that
after she has got through the fatiguing
Journey from Tirzah to Shiloh and
from Shiloh back to Tirzah, there will
be a throne of royalty on which she
shall rest forever. Glory veiled. Af-
fluence hidden. Eternal raptures hushed
up. A queen in mask. A princess in
disguise.
But there was a grander disguising.

erature and during the past six months
she has written some graphic letters of
foreign travel for a Chicago journal.

knew that that shelterless Christ
owned all the mansions in which
the hierarchs of heaven had their hab-
itation. None knew that that hun-
gered Christ owned all the olive
groves, and all the harvests which
shook their gold on the hills of Pal-
estine. No one knew that he who said
"X thirst" poured the Euphrates■ out
of his own chalice. No one knew that
the ocean lay in the palm of his hand
like a dewdrop in the vase of a lily.
No one knew that the stars, and
moons, and suns, and galaxies, and
constellations that marched on age
after age, were, as compared with his
lifetime, the sparkle of a firefly on a
summer night. No one knew that the
sun in mid-heaven was only the shad-
ow of his throne. No one knew that
his crown of universal dominion was
covered up with a bunch of thorns.
Omnipotence sheathed in a human
body. Omniscience hidden in a hu-
man eye. Infinite love beating in a
human heart. Everlasting harmonier,
subdued into a human voice. Royalty
en masque. Grandeurs of heaven in
earthly disguise.
My subject also impresses me with
how precise and accurate and particu-
lar are God's providences. Just at the
moment that woman entered the city,
the child died. Just as it was prophe-
sied, so it turned out, so it always
turns out. The event occurs, the death
takes place, the nation is born, the
despotism is overthrown at the ap-
pointed time. God drives the universe
with a stiff rein. Events do not just
happen so. Things do not go slip-
shod. In all the book of God's provi-
dences there is not one "if." God's
providences are never caught in disha-
bille. To God there are no surprises,
no disappointments and no accidents.
The most insignificant event flung out
in the ages is the connecting link be-
tween two great chains—the chain of
eternity past and the chain of eternity
to come. I am no fatalist, but I should
be completely wretched if I did not
feel that all the affairs of my life are
in God's hand, and all that pertains to
me and mine, just as certainly as all
the affairs of this woman of the text,
as this child of the text, as this
king of the text, were in God's
hand. You may ask me a hundred
questions I cannot answer, but I shall
until the day of my death believe that
I am under the unerring care of God;
and the heavens may fall, and the
world may burn, and the judgment
may thunder, and eternal ages may
roll, but not a hair shall fall from
my head, not a shadow shall drop on
my path, not a sorrow shall transfix
my heart without being divinely ar-
ranged—arranged by a loving, sympa-
thetic Father. He bottles our tears, he
catches our sorrows, and to the orphan
he will be a Father, and to the widow
he will be a liusoand, and to the out-
cast he will be a home, and to the
most miserable wretch that this day
crawls up out of the ditch of his abom-
ination crying for mercy, he will be
an all-pardoning God. The rocks shall
turn gray with age, and the forests
shall be unmoored in the last hurri-
cane, and the sun shall shut its fiery
eyelid, and the stars shall drop like
blasted figs, and the continents shall
go down like anchors in the deep, and
the ocean shall heave its last groan
and lash itself with expiring agony,
and the world shall wrap itself in a
winding sheet of flame and leap on
the funeral pyre of the judgment day;
but God's love shall not die. It will
kindle its suns after all other lights
have gone out. It will be a billowy
sea after the last ocean has wept it-
self away. It will warm itself by the
fire of a consuming world. It will
