CINcINNATI.-The Times Star says: GA
remarkable discovery made last winter is
attracting widespread interest. As it in
wolves most important question-that of
public health-it is being discussed by emf
nent physicians and public men. 1t is
shown conclusiveiy that throat and lung
troubles can be cured without resorting to
the use OF morphia or opium-especially
dangerous in the case of children as ar
resting development, and poisoning the
system. The Governor of Maryland and
all the officials of that State endorse the
remedy; the State chemist of Delaware
pronounces it the purest and most effect
i've, and hospitals and charitable institu-
tions in Philadelphia and other cities use
it with remarkable results. The remedy,
which is only twenty five cents bottle, is
Red Star Cough Cure. 1t is purely vege-
table; it contains no poison or mar cctics,
and is positive cure.

AN OLD GRAVEYARD.
Probably the Oldest Cemetery in All Mort
America.

America.
Directly opposite St. Luke's Church
and adjoining the historic garrison
grounds in this town is situated the
Oldest graveyard in America, or at all
events in North America. In the year
1905 Annapolis Royal was first settled,
and as six deaths occurred among the
settlers that winter, we take it for
granted the graveyard must have been
opened in that year-2S0 years ago.
The first burial that we read about was
of The boaE of Micmac Indian chief,
who was converted to Christianity. Be-
ore his death he requested that his body
be buried with his forefathers, but the
priest, thinking that if the body was not
buried in the Christian burial ground
the Indians might be led to doubt the
reality of his conversion, and that this
idea would prove an obstacle to their
own, disregarded the braves last wish
and had the body inferred in the Chris
ii burial ground. This occurred in
1911. The heart of M. de Brouillan was
buried in this graveyard. Murdoch 5
history of Nova Scotia tells us that
Brouillan died at sea, near Halifax Con
his return from France to Port oval,
September, 1909 and his body was
buried at sea. The graveyard served
for all the country IN the vicinity of An
napols, and thousands must have been
buried in it. 1t contains about an acre
of ground, but at one time it covered 0
much larger ace.-Annapolis (N. 81

Rochefort as a Dry-Nurse.

Rochefort was the dry-nurse of his

eldest with sucking-bottle of his own
invention. He was then CT rk at the
Hotel de Vile, with salary of one
thousand francs year, and living in a

when he was at his office, and he used
to take h out 10 his arms to give her
airings at night, when the shabbiness OF
her clothes would not be seen by the

The music was of the very toughest
description, but it answered its pur-
pose. and wildly excited both listeners
and dancers. A monotonous CORRIDOR
rec song was sung by all the women
in chorus, to which they kept perfect
time by beating two sticks together,
and by drumming violently on opossum
and kangaroo skins tightly stretched
across their open-knees. The only va,
ration in the music was the speed at
which it was produced; it was gradu.
ally increased from very slow time
up to a wild, mad swiftness. The
dance was just as monotonous as the
music, and l soon became thoroughly
sick of it, but the Nurruru men sat
watching it for hours with a pur.
fectly motionless intentness which
showed their keen interest. Both
song and dance were new, aud the Man.

shortly after the little passage of arms
over us had taken place. At first it was
slow and feeble. Suddenly out of the
great gloom beyond the light of the
fires wild figure leaped into view; so
hideous was it, and so startling the al
most magical way it came into sight,
that gave little unconscious move
ment of surprise, at which Berrill, he
nerveless Ibrute, laughed, and told me
not to be frightened. The dancer was
painted to represent a skeleton, with
white lines down his legs and arms and
white stripes that followed the curves
of his ribs. His long, black hair was
tied up in tangled mop at the top
of mis- head in which white feathers
were sticking, and in his hands he held
his boomerang and nullah-nullah. His
black body hardly showed against the
night-dark background, but the flicker
ing freight threw these death-like lines
into brilliant relief This first dancer
took his place, and was swiftly and
silently followed by others, painted in
exactly the same manner as himself, till
about thirty men were taking part in
the mystic dance. The position of all
of the men was the same; their arms,
bent at the elbows, were raised above
their heals till the weapons they held
crossed one another; the head was
slightly inclined TO one shoulder. and
the fierce gaze of their wild black eyes
was firmly fixed in one direction. Their
legs were wide apart and bent at the
knees. and this position they never

A Great Artists Mistake.

In the central square of the Capitol
at Rome, surrounded on three sides by
buildings, stands a very large bronze
statue of Marcus Aurelius, once EN-
peror of Rome, mounted on a spirited
horse. This is the only equestrian
statue which has been preserved in a
perfect condition out of the many that
decorated ancient Rome. Michael An
gelo, who designed the buildings which
at present stand on this hill, was very
fond of this statue, and especially ad.
mired the horse. One day, while he
was studying it, he forgot that it was
not alive, and wishing to see it in an
other position, he cried out "Camn'
which means, 60 on. After looking at this
horse for some time, one might easily
imagine that shout or touch of a
whip would make it jump.-Frank r.
