AMERICANS AND FRENCHMEN.

From The fouths Companion
In Philadelphia, during the Centennial Exposition
of 1875 lady entered street: car which happened
to be filled with the attaches, clerks and owners of
the French department of the Exhibition. Several
of these lighted cigars and pnffed them IN her
face and their conduct became so rude that
she was fopced TO leave the Some of the prin-
cipal French exhibitors and commissioner were
present. but made no attempt TO interfere. Hap
pening TO meet OF them afterward she expressed
her amazement at the brutal conduct Of the whole
party.
But madame he exclaimed they did not un-
dcrstaud that you lady; you had no escort!"
81 was woman, aud therefore entitled to every
mans protection" was her indignant reply.
He Shrugged his shoulders and was silent Now,
mark the difference.
At the same Exposition, near the Exposition
buildings, an immense temporary hotel was erected.
Over eight thousand teachers. women from all parts
of the Union to this hotel unprotected, visited
the Exposition alone, and returned home. as secure
from insult as though they were prinoesses,
The first principle lnstiled into every American is
respect for women. There was not man who met
these young girls who seeing that they were modest
and well behaved, would not have interfered to de-
fend them from insult.
These two instances aptly illustrate o radical
difference between the two nations.

SUMPTION.

1t is SAID that 10000 people die an
nually in the United States alone from
this disease In some sections of the
country one death in every three is
from Consumption. This can be, and
should be avoided; our people are too
careless about an ordinary cough or
cold. and other symptoms OF throat
and lung affections that lead 10 this
disease You should arrest il while
il is in the germ. Two or three dnses
OF Dr.. BUsanllo's Cough and Lueg
syrup viii relieve an ordinary cough
or cold. IT, does not dry up cough
like many preparations on the market
and leave the disease behind it, but
acts directly OF the throat and bron-
chial tubes, removing all the phlegm
aud morbid matter that accunulates
in the throat ana lungs. 1t allays all
irritation, aud renders the voice clear
and distinct. Sold by =. A. Baker
