ADVICE TO MoTHERs.-MRS. WINSLOW'S
SOOTHING SYRUP should always be used
when children are cutting teeth. 1t rel ewes
the little sufferer at once; it produces natl al,
quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain,
and the little chersb awakes as "bright as a

soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all
pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and
is the best known remedy for diarrhoa, whether
arising from teething or other causes. Twenty

The graduation of the first class, which occurs

programme for the class exercises was printe d.
She had been assigned o leading part. The

100 feet, the width of beam 20 feet, and
the depth of hold feet. The hull is
made of steel, while the deckhouse

dogs bark, the men slash at the coon
The melee, the free, scrambling fight
goes on savagely until club descends
plumply on the animals head, and the
corpse of an eighteen-pound coon is
stretched upon the ground.
The men stopped to wipe the per-
spiration from their foreheads, and to
regain their lost wind. The recess is
short, and Zeke exclaims, Nov let the
other feller come"
A good shake and the ''other feller''
does come. If Jove had sent one of
his thunderbolts down through that
tree he would not have produced a
greater CONSERVATION than did that
animal. The ladies saw a four-legged
something drop. They saw it hit the
ground and bound upward. They saw
it glare its eyes and start toward them.
Then they rent the air with hysterical
screams and four feminine forms fit
ted nimbly over logs, bushes and briars
into the distance. 1t was a regular
stampede.
But in the meantime the hunters in
tercepted the coon. They had the
hardest time imaginable in getting it..
Three times it gained the bushes, only
to be driven back by the dogs. Then,
exhausted and baff1ed, it fell prey to
its enemies. It's weight was sixteen
and a half pounds.
The routed female forces of the coon
hunting brigade were gotten together.
Their flight had brought on nothing
more serious than genuine scare and
few briar scratches.
when the coon started toward us, :"
said one, ''it looked as big as an OK. !"
But the dead animals reassured them
of the success of our expedition, and
their fears disappeared before the re-
awakened enthusiasm in the sport.
Laughter came back. Songs were now
sung, and general jollity prevailed
while the party threaded its way home
ward. The hunt had resulted in two
dead coons and no mishaps to speak
Of Who could want more?"
'Ain't they beauties?" said Uncle
Zeke, holding up the ring-tailed ami
mails; 81 tell ye, ladies and gentlemen,
de best thing on dis side of Paradise is
baked coon, with sweet 'taters and
pone bread [corn bread] and little
slice of pumpkin pie"
Before II o'clock we had arrived at
the house.
Don't forget what 1 told ye bout
coon and pone bread" said Zeke, as he
left for home
The animals were served for dinner.
Zeke is right. Coon, properly cooked,
is good.-The Baltimore american.
