NEW DIRK, May 0Gn, 1888.
Several times this winter [ have
suffered from severe Colds on my
Lungs. Each time I have applied
ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs, and in
every instance I have been quickly
relieved by applying one across my
chest and one on back. My friends,
through my advice, have tried the ex-
priment and also found it most sue
cessful. I feel that 1 can recommend
them most highly to any one who may
see fit to try them:

Ii the Uuited States does not want to
buy Cuba, it is certainly very clear she
dosen't want any European power to
buy it. Spain might just turn Cuba
loose to shift for herself to the satisfac-
ton of everybody. 1t is maintained that
the visit Of Minister Foster to Washing
ton was at the request of the Spanish
government, to see how the administra
ton stood upon the matter. 1t is prob
able that the matter might be adjusted
by the national independence of Cuba in
consideration of the island assuming a
share of the Spanish debt, or buying
her freedom outright with bonds guaran-
teed by the United States. But Cuba
ism t worth much. The only object the
United States could have in figuring in
the matter is to prevent a strong foreign
power from getting foothold on the
continent.

THE pursuit of science in England
is now attended with difficulties on
account of the watchfulness of the
lynx-eyed police In Il South London
house the other day there was violent
explosion. The police had been watch
ing it for a long time, and they rushed
in and found the head of the family
with an arm blown off. They arrested
him and took him to a hospital, only to
find that he was a well known scientist
who had been blown up while indulging
himself in some chemical experiments.
Thus one hunt for dynamite fiend was
brought to q sudden conclusion.
