Archbishop Manning is seid to have
remarked that he had long sought for
some instances of invention or discovery
by a woman, and the best he had been
able to find was Thwaites' soda water, an
improved make of soda water invented
by Miss Thwaites, of Dublin, an
amateur chemist, which drove all other
kinds out of the market.
There is more foreign coal landed at
San Francisco than at any other port in
the United States. About 80 per cent. is
from foreign sources. The only coal
mines in California that are worked to
any extent are at Mount Diable, which
were first opened in 1860. The other
sources of coal supplies are at Coos Bay,
Bellingham Bay, Seattle and British
Columbia. The foreign sources OF supply
are Australia, England, Wales and Scot
land, with occasional cargoes from Chilli.

Cough is a symptom by which various dis
eased conditions OF the throat, bronchial tubes
and lungs manifest themselves. But whether
1t arises from the irritation produced in the
throat and larynx by taking cold, from ali at
tack of Bronchitis, from incipicnt Consump-
ton, or from various other causes, nothing
will allay 1t more speedily or cure IT more
permanently than DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. II does not matter whether 1t be
a recent attack or lingering cough, the
Discovery is in either case equally well adapt
ed for its relief and permanent cure. In
fact, it will cure a cough in one-half the time
necessary to cure 1t with any other medicine,
and it does ii, not by drying it up, but by re-
moving the cause, subduing the irritation
and healing the affected parts. No time
should be lost in commencing the use OF a
proper medicine for the relief OF cough, for,
unless this course is pursued, serious and
dangerous disease OF the lungs is liable TO re-
suit Golden Medical Discovery Is sold by all
dealers in medicines.

DR.. WALKERS VEGETABLE VINEGAR
BITTERs.-Business men, worn by care
and sedentary habits, often suffer from
constipation of the bowels until the evil
consequences of such condition are re
allied in extreme debility, nervousness

same cause; but by using DR.. WALKERS
