The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as "catching cold. " It mny bo in the head , nose , throat or lungs. Its Ix' inuinj : is sonu-times so severe as to cause a chill and considerable fever , or it may be so slight as to not hinder a per- son from his usual business. In perhaps n majority of cases little or no attention Is paid to the first stage of catarrh , and hence it is that nearly one-half of the peo ple have chronic catarrh in some form. To neglect a cold is to invite chronic catarrh. As soon as any one disxovnrs the first symptoms of catching cold he The woman of education often Js the most stunted in her views.

Unless this is done the cold is almost sure to end in the second stage of ca tarrh , which is making so many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has a cold or cough , chronic atarrh would be practically an un- ; nown disease. / EHznheth Ul > er , No. 57 Bassett \ street , Albany. N.

" 'rv YORK NEB What Women Admire in a Man. There seems to be no limit to the ugliness a mail may possess without.c in anyway lessening the chances of a woman loving him. How often one sees a really beautiful woman mated to an exceptionally ugly man , and vice versa. A man may be crippled , hide ous , deformed , and yet find a woman who will gladly share his lot , and for this reason women are often sneered at by people who suppose them to be so anxious to marry that they are not in the least fastidious as to whom they take. Here they are completely at fault , for love with a woman is not half so often induced by good looks as by oth er qualities Avhich compel her admira tion far more strongly. In the first place the chief thing which women admire in a man is strength , both moral and physical , and perhaps next she admires most the quality of cour age , for a man who is afraid seems to a woman at once the most extraordi nary and miserable creature on the face of the earth. Another thing she greatly admires Is determination , and that is the reason why persistence generally wins in the end , though she will try it to its utmost limit. Sometimes she admires less striking qualities in a man ; she will think that a certain bearishness toward other people is a quality to be proud of , pro vided he is always kind and tender to ward herself. She often imagines that rough manners are a sign of strength , and therefore does not mind his speak ing to other people in a rude , bullying fashion. Masterfulness is a characteristic that excites her deep , though perhaps se cret , admiration , and she despises in her heart of hearts the husband who invariably allows her to get the upper hand. No henpecked husband was ever looked upon except with contempt by his wife , and it is a certain thing that if he had but the confidence to resist her to her face she would , as a rule , be only too delighted to take sec ond place without a murmur. New York News. The Bride's Crucial Moment. But in the ascending scale of life marriage is not merely the romantic mating of two people ; it is a spiritual union , occult and difficult to define , composed of two distinct intelligences , neither of which can withdraw or dom inate the other without injury to the ' relationship. And the lack of right-mindedness in the wife when the honeymoon days are over spoils as many marriages as frailties in the husband do. Obliged by the very nature of things to dis pense with her bridal ideals , the ques ' tion is , what course she will pursue. And everything depe-uds upon her de cision , for she will either adjust her self to the situation with the egotism of a martyr , seek consolation in her children , religion or society , or she Will wisely accept the bargain she has made for happiness with the deter mination to realize upon it in spite of all newly discovered human limita tions. And here begins her university course in the philosophy of life ; a phil osophy which not only recognizes the disposition of one particular man in its variations from that of mankind in general , but disciplines her own to ' match and mate it. And there is-the rub. rub.The The matching is a pitting of force against force , which comes easy to old Adam nature ; but the mating of mind with mind , the finishing of his courage with the spires of her hopes , the .add ing of her charm to his power , is a Divine adchemy of spirits which no man can accomplish. Independent. Smiles nnd Their Meaning : . Some one has suggested that words were invented for the purpose of con- cealing thought , but there are situa- tions when words are unavailing and it is necessary to have recourse to an- other method for concealing thought. This is where smiles are useful. Now , there is nothing worthy of remark about a smile when the natural result . of a pleasant thought , but the climax of art has been reached when one has learned to smile under circumstances when language if a true expression of thought would be decidedly objecs' tionable. Smiles have a peculiar charm. They can accomplish wonders in an argu- e ment , especially tf the smiler possesses rosy lips and pearly teeth. "SmileD for the lady" is familiar nursery par lance , and when Baby smiles it is genuine. But , once beyond the years n of babyhood , one can never be per v fectly certain of the true value of a. tl smile. Exchange. tltl tlk tla EGirls autl Ttte--r Speakine Voices. k "How many tflrh ever give thought to the pitch and timbre of their tiw voices ? " asks Harper's Bazar. "Straight figures , good complexion , an c.ti easy , supple carriage , white teeth and tiM tif well-kept hair and nails are all deserv f : edly striven for why not an agreeable voice ? A girl can do much to coun teract what may seem a naturally bad voice. Nine times out of ten it is bad because of careless habits formed through ignorance. The pitch of the w voice is most important , and if this is b < high the work of lowering it should be an once attempted. Stop frequently in it the course of your daily talk with your ii family or intimate friends , and catch m the t echo of your voice it will be easy to t go on then two or three tones low . er. Soon the right pitch will become habitual 1 a great point gained. A , pleasant voice may be cultivated , too , like 1 a pleasant expression , if suliicU'iit care and watchfulness are had. If the voice tones are nasal there is probably some upper throat or nostril obstruc tion often one very simple and easily removed by a physician. If voice cul ture lessons can be taken this should be done , but without any expert teach ing , a young person's voice is amen able to modification and improvement through simple care on the part of its owner. " Why Women Worry. If a woman is to protect herself from the ravages of worry , aiid'so retain her youth for a longer period , she mist come into more frequent contact with other people as her husband doe-s and read good books ; she must relieve the monotony of her duties and the limiting influence of confinement with in four walls by taking outdoor exer cises a walk every day or a spin on a bicycle ; in short , she must exercise the body and mind in a healthful man ner , and she will find the bloom of youthand health remain with her for - years after it has faded in other wom en of the same. age. "The ordinary woman , " says a cele brated physician , "leads such a monot onous existence that her mind has no occupation but worry. What she needs is to come out of herself much more than she does. She must have int-'r- course with more people and take more exercise. This can be done without neglecting the home , and every right- minded man will do his best to secure for his mother , or his sister , or his wife , these aids to the retention of youthfulness of body and mind. " Pairan Marriage Customs. How little the fashionable bride in the smart set to-day realizes that all of the wedding customs of the present are rooted in the pagan past. The barbaric bridegroom procured bis mate by one of two methods capture or pur chase. We speak even now of "captur ing" a bride , and "purchase" is not wholly unknown. In the former the groom started upon the warpath with some chosen companion , who .insisted him in seizing the woman ; whence cometh the custom of having a "best man. " The dainty gold ring of to-day is a 'relic of the fetter by which the bride was bound , while the jocose slipper is a remnant of the missiles hurled by the angry parents. The orange blossoms came in a more civilized age , though not Christian. The veil , as still in modern Oriental" conn- tries , typifies exclusive possession by one man. Their Mothers.

Have a tub half full of water that is more than warm , but not very hot , and make a strong suds with laundry soap of the best quality. Add a tablespoon- ful of powdered borax. Shake the flannels thoroughly , then squeeze them with the hands , sop them up .and 1j down and , if necessary , rub the spots between the hands. Do not rub soap . on the flannels and do not nib the flannels . on a board. Wring from the first suds and put into another of the same ' temperature ; rinse through water that does not contain soap ; wring dry. shake vigoreusly and dry quickly. Iron before they are quite dry with a mod erately hot Iron , then press well. Do not use borax for colored flannels. Leaf-Droppinsr. Leaf-dropping In house plants i ? nearly always caused by injudicious watering or insufficient drainage. If the soil is allowed to .iry the leaves of the plant arc very liable to turn yellow and drop , and the same result will fol low the retention of too much mois ture about the roots. M&ny plants will drop their leaves if ln j uecome chilled. Avoid extremes .rf teiupeia- ture. Red spider , a very smajl pest which mostly attacks the under sur face of the leaves , will mostly cause them to turn yellow and drop. So , also , will gas and smoke.
