FORM you concerning the efficacy Of the Elk.
PECToRANT. TWO years ago my son contracted
the Brochitis. and 1t became so bad he had to
take to his bed. procured bottle Of Jayne's E1-
pectorant and giving 1t TO him according to d.
reciions, it soon brought him relief; but strong
fever coming on, his mother and myself got un-
easy about him, and sent for our family doctor.
On his arrival he told US the Expectorant might
give him ease, but 1t would not cure him, so he
gave US some medciae OF his own prescribing. 10
one day, however, he was 30 much worse we all
feared he would die, and as last resort we con-
cluded to give the Expectorant another trial. To
our great JOY, after taking TWO bottles OF 1t and
one box OF the Sanative Pills, he was entirely
cured. Since that time have cured desperate
case Of Group with it, and two other cases OF
Bronchitis. therefore can safely say it Is the
best medicine for the throat and lungs L ever
used for twenty Eight years, and have no oo)ec'
tion to your makinx public my experience with It,

The tedious session ofthe Supreme
Court at Pittsfeld, Mass, was re.
lieved by an incident one day last
week that drew a little smile. A
leading member of the bar, rather
noted for his strategy ofconfusing
witnesses by working them, into a
passion, had under cross-examina
ton woman who seemed an apt
subject for his favorite tactics;
having wound her up to the desir
ED pitch he Inquired: MADAME.
are you now living with your first
or second husband ?" That's
none of your businessw sharp and
short. With an air of offended
dignity the attorney turned to
Chief Justice Bingham. whe re.
marked with a smile, II think the
witness is about right in that, is
she mott" Which reminds the
elder members of the bar OF a
similar mis.idventure that a more
distinguished member OF the
Berkshire bar met at hands of
Chief Justice Shaw. "Where
did you get the money with which
you made the purchases spoken
OFF, asked the learned brother"
of witness while under the
tortures of a cross examination.
None of Your gentle e1pletive)
businessm Numbered the victim
"Now, may it please you, are
counsel to be insuited in this
mannerp appealed the lawyer.
Witness said the Chief j Justice,
coInpassionately, ''do you wish to
change your last answer" "No,
sir, l don'tm .'Well, l would not
if | was in your place!!" And the
chuckle that shook the bench was
audibly echoed.

Making dwarfs and beggars is
a common thing in China. For
the first, a child oftlree or four
years is taken and a heavy porce
lain vase is put over him, SO that
the head alone is free. This is
taken of every evening so that he
may sleep, but is put on again IN
the morning. The child thus ad-
vances in age in this inflexible
mould until he can no longer grow.
Then the vase is broken. The
horrible sufferings that must be
experienced in this process are
even exceeded by the practices in
eItain establishments in Pekin,
where beggars submit yoluntari
~ to have their eyes taken out and
their limbs broken, in order to ex-
cite public colBmiseration.
