MAYNARD s
COUGH CANDY,
Recommended by the Leading
Physicians as tonic and
Expeetorant.

We take pleasure in making
known to the public, this valuable
candy, as medicine. It is made
with view of combining the best
known remedies for Bronchial
troubles with pure candy in such
a manner as to make a medicine,
while very pleasant to the taste,
yet effective in its work. It costs
but trife. The children consider
it a treat to get it to eat, and yet
it takes the place of the costly
syrups and troches manufactured
and sold as patent medicines. Mr..
Maynard has been manufacturing
this candy and using it for years,
and has hundreds of testimonials
from physicians and patients
wherever he has sold it, speaking
in the highest terms Of its efficacy
as medicine. 1t is splendid for
coughs, colds and hoarseness, and
when melted and taken as a syrup
will cure Group. 1t gives us great
pleasure to publish the following
testimonials from our best physi-
clans, recommending J. c. May
nard's Cough Candy:
DR.. 7. W. SHAW, a prominent
physician, formerly of Macon City,
but now of Philidelphia saws:
''The prescription from which
Maynard's Cough Candy is made
is better remedy for throat or
bronchial troubles than the many
troches and lung balsams now in
the market
DR.. F. A. GROVE, of Kinks
vile, says: Il cheerfully endorse
the above"
DIR. GOODSON, of Macon City,
says: ut is tonic and expoctorant
and very strengthening to the
lungs
DR.. T. S. RUBY, formerly OF
Macon City, but now of Lebanon,
Tenn, says: 'This candy un-
doubtedly saved me and my son
from spell of pneumonia. Twill
further give you privilege to sign

A NEW DAINTY.
Tho Trade in Blackbirds for Culinary
Purposes Rapidly Increasing.

The Trade in Blackbirds for Culinary
Purposes Rapidly Increasing.
There is large trade in Philadelphia
in blackbirds. Some years ago. when
it first began, very few birds we're sold;
but the restaurants and private families
found out that the birds could be made
tender and palatable by parboiIing
them and then baking them in pie;
and low dozens of punches of black
birds, twelve in bunch. are sold at
the very best game depots. The trade
continues from April, when the birds
come back from the South, until early
October. when they leave this latitude;
and all the season through there is one
unvarying price demanded for this sort
of game, viz, twenty-five cents per
bunch" of twelve birds. The birds
are shot by farmers boys and other
sportsmen. As the birds fly to their
feeding grounds in the morning and
back to their .'roosts" in the woods at
sundown, and their line of flight is
straight, the gunners can fire volleys
into their tluttering flocks whenever
they come within range while crossing z
the country At early morning and an
hour or two before the sun sets, the
swamp and crow-blackbirds. two very
different species, seem less wary and
feed in the field, or along the banks of
creeks and rivers, where worms and
fresh-water shellfish abound. and then
the vollevs of No. 8 shot decimate their
sable ranks.
Theoretically. there is no reason why
the flesh Of blackbirds should not be
used for food. They feed on cherries.
currants, fruit. grain and worms. just
Is reed-birds, doves. wild pigeons and
plenty of other palatable game birds
do. Blaokbirds don't eat carrion, and
although they are polygamous, don't
mate and lay their eggs in the nests of
other birds, they are not otherwise diff
ferent from other species. They are
noisy, cheeky and great pests of the
farmers who have cherry orchards or
graperies, and those who know black
birds best will set it down as an invari-
able rule that if they can steal ripe
cherries they will not touch any other
hind of food. No country people eat
blackbirds any more than they eat
crows. they look upon both warolers
with about the same sort of feelings.
There is tradition IN the neighboring
counties that blackbirds eat carrion,
but it is not true, though their flesh is
rank enough before being parboiled.
A blackbird roost. that is, a place
where hundreds or thousands of the
sable-feathered pests flock and scream
at night. is regarded by tillers Of the
soil as local misfortune. and it often
happens that dozen farmers. with
their sons and hired hands. all armed
with guns, will lie in ambush evening
after evening. for several days. in
order to shoot the birds as they fly in
small black clouds at night, to har-
boring place Of this sort.-N. Y. Mai!

DENSITY or THE SUN.

Interesting and Instructive Facts Com.
piled by Professor Lockyer.
II we take water as our unit of dem
sity, the density of the earth is 1,444. If
We take the density of the earth as l,
then the value is about O.25-practic-
ally quarter. These values have been
determined by taking the volume of
the sun as given by the diameter of the
photos sphere-8O0, 900 miles. Now, we
have had to concede 100000 miles for
the h eight of one atmosphere above the
photosphere, and 1000. 900 miles fol an
other, and it is not fair that those at
mospheres should be left out of consid-
Grafton. If We include these atmos-
pheres, though We do not alter the
mass, we alter the volume. If we put
the same mass into q bigger volume,
we naturally reduce the density. Now.
If We take the atmosphere of the sun
as extending to 100. 900 miles above the
atmosphere, that will give us a radius OF
$50. 900 miles, instead of 430.O00 miles,
and we shall, as nearly as may be, double
the suns volume. Therefore we shall
have halved the density. Instead of
being a quarter as dense as the earth it
will only be one-eighth as dense. and.
instead of it being just denser than
water. it will be a little over half the
density Of water. The gases of the
center may put on the appearance, if
they do not put on all the physical
properties, of liquid; but, be this as it
may, in any region that we can get at,
Aolx H,~~sxal x, afh HE n
400, 900 miles away from the center, we
are undoubtedly dealing with masses Of

Colonel IngersOll's Suggestion.
Chi cago Journal .

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll thinks the
solution of the New York Mayoralty con
test lies in the Endorsement of Henry
George by the republicans. In an inter.
view he says it is the duty of the republic
ans to defeat the democrats, and he be-
lieyss there is a chance for them to ac-
complish this by making George tn cir
candidate.
The republicans of New York will not
be likely to take the Colonel's view of the
case. Besides being an out-and-out free
trader, Mr.. Georges ideas of property
rights would not find favor with any CON
siderable number of the party. As the
case now stands, these are two free-trade
candidates in the feld-Hewitt represent
ing the democracy, and George repre-
senting the labor element. Although a
municipal election has nothing to do with
the tariff, the presence Of two opposing
candidates on the free-trade side will
naturally bring the discussion of the
tariff question into the campaign, par
ticulaRly in its relation to the masses of
the peSple. To make sharp and dis
tinct issue, therefore, the republicans
will probably select for their candidate a
strong and popular man who represents
the protective policy of the party. By
doing this they may hope to gain the
votes of democratic workingmen who are
opposed to the free-trade idea.

A Suggestion to the President.

The New York Tribune thus forcibly
suggests to President Cleveland the ex-
cellent opportunity he has to prove him
self real reformer by first reforming
his cabinet:
If the president be anxious to make a
conspicuous example of offensive parti-
sanship-one that will leave a profound
impression upon the public mind let him
dismiss his private secretary and rebuke
the three members of his cabinet who
were in this city last week laying pipes
and pulling wires with ward politicians
and the bosses of the various
halls and perfecting arrangements
for the municipal canvas. Secre-
tary Manning, Secretary Bayard,
and Secretary Whitney all had their
thumbs in the political pie when they
were here. The private secretay, who
Is reputed to be the presidents conf
Dental adviser and personal represen-
tative whenever political diplomacy is
required, was most actively employed in
negotiating with the leaders of the war
ring factions in this city. Make an ex-
ample of them, Mr.. President? Let the
country understand once for all that of
fensiye partisanship must and shall be
suppressed.
