Low prices are inducements to try

made of cheap and ineffective ingredi-
ents, now offered, which, as they con-
tain no curative qualities, can afford
only temporary relief, and are sure to
aisappoint the patient. Diseases of the
throat and lungs demand active and
effective treatment; and it is dangerous
experimenting with unknown and cheap
medicines. from the great liability that
these diseases may, while so trifled with,
become deeply seated or incurable. Use

A Story Of John Hopkins.

A writer in the Baltimore American

late John Hopkins (The Baltimore mil
lionaire who founded the great univer-
sity in that city, first entered that city a
friendless nnd penniless boy, and quotes
the following story of Mr.. Hopkins life
given by that philanthropist himself a
short time before his death: "When
was boy" said Mr.. Hopkins, "my un-

South River to visit my parents, and no.

Can Storms be Controlled?

Violent displays Of natural force are
painfully hostile to human progress. If
the valley of the Thames were frequent.
ly rocked by earthquakes London would
be an impossibility. A very slight tre-

For prosperity there must be peace, es-

America itself would not be what it is if
these horrible cyclones occurred in
every state and at frequent intervals.
The question arises whether these at
nospheric disturbances may possibly be
affected for the better in course of time
by that sort oe indirect influence which
civilization exercises on climate. It is
true man may mar climate as well as
mend one. He disturbs the rainfall by
unduly cutting down the forests, there's
by producing alterations of drought
and flood. But in other instances the
cultivation of the soil appears to amel-
iorate the climate, and nature grows
more kindly as man fulfills his miseion

we might say the oIdest-discoVerles
of modern times that the crested wave
which seems irresistible in its force loses
all its terror and much of its power when
encountering film of OIL When the
storm threatens to overwhelm the ship
the skipper has merely to fetch up his
oil can, and, though the wind continues
to howl and shrek through the rigging,
the waves are powerless under the OLE
apinous film. 1t is too much to expect
that the wild winds will ever be subject
to human control after this fashion, ex-
cept by some long continued and occult
process unconsciously carried out. It
would be strange result, and yet it
seems possibility, that man will be able
to meet the storm more successfully at
sea than on land. More probably, as
population in these states becomes moro
dense, and the consequent danger OF
disaster is increased, men will adopt q
mode OF building suited to the necessi-
ties of the case, as the Swiss have done
in the case of the avalanche. There is,
however, a favorable element in the
problem, even if matters should not inn
prove. Cyclonic outbursts, such as
have been displaying their energy in
the United States, act in very circum.
scribed area. 1t is saddening to read Of
the mischief that is done-human be-
ings crushed by the fury Of the blast,
and hard-won property irretrievably
destroyed. But the space thus visited
is mere scrap compared with the
broad continent which spreads from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The storm path
is diminutive line compared with the
smiling area on every land.-London

An Old Mans Adventure on a
Railway Bridge.

An old living in Marshall County re.
Gently met with an experience which he
will not soon forget. He was walking
down the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
about mile beyond Moundsyi!le and
near Huggin's mill, late in the evening,
when he heard train coming in the
distance. A few yards below was a
bridge, which the old man thought he
could cross before the approaching train
reached it. He started rapidly, but as
he stepped upon the ties tie train APP
peared in sight. 1t was still some dis
tance away, and he increased his speed
in hopes that he would clear the bridge
Suddenly his foot slipped on one of the
oily ties, and he was thrown to his knees
between the rails. AS be rose he glanced
toward the train, and his blood must
have turned cold when he Saw it just
coming into the covered bridge at a
speed which quick as thought annihil-
ated the short distance between it and
the trembling man. At the same time
the engineer, "Chap" Fleming, saw a
dark form in the head lights glare, re-
allied the perilous situation, and four
sharp, shrilI screams from the whistle
and the wheeling of the air-brakes
showed at once that he was doing his
best to stop the train.
In the moment of time which this oc-
cupied the old man had seized his only
hope of safety. A position where he
had one chance in million for his life
suggested itself, and without hesitation
was watched by the engineer and fire.
man, and its almost utter hopelessness
was seen. They turned away with an
involuntary exclamation of horror, ex-
pecting the next instant to feel the jar
OF the wheels as they mangled his BODY
to shreds. The man had scarcely lain
down when the train was on him, and
the cow-catcher ploughed him from his
narrow shelf. Ifbefore he had but one
chance IN million for his life, it would
now seem that even that chance was
gone. But not so. In his fall the man
struck upon one of the cross beams
which pass several feet below the track
from side to side of the bridge. He
clasped this with the strength of desper-
alton, and clung to it until the train had
reached the other side. Then with weak
and trembling clutch he drew himself
up to the track and crawled rather than
walked back to shore. There he sat
down, scarcely bruised by his rough con.
tact with the engine or his fall, but sick
with fright.
AS soon as the train could be brought
to standstill Conductor Manning sent
his brakeman, man named Hiliard
back to see if the man was dead. What
was their surprise to find him sitting by
the track unhurt, and, except for his
scare, no worse for his fearful expert.

until the queen had sent word that she

1t is becoming question whether the
decree of the courts or the crack of the
pistol is the more frequent method by
which the troubles of unhappy married
couples are ended. During the past few
years the number of instances where ieal-
GUS or desperate husbands have killed
their wives and then killed themselves
has been startlingly large. There is scarce
ly week that the public is not shocked
by reports of these double domestic
tragedies. The explanation is found In
the dying words of one of these homoci-
dal and suicidal husbands in an eastern
town, recently: "My wife wouldn't stop
running with other men. I loved her too
much to give her up-and might as well
go to hell at once as to live in a hell on

little note. 1t did, but not the sort of
note he imaginued. The contents of the
