OF the party, as their murmurs arose.

and can do it again" cheerfully replied the
broad shouldered freshman, as he stow ed
away the sail and bent to the oars He was
splendid oarsman and the boat was soon
under Roadway again.

Call in physician?"
Yes; l went twenty miles through the
bush to see doctor He gave me some
medicine but it didn't help me much'
How was the cure effected?'
IAN old Scotch lady, who had come over
from the States gave me preparation of
balsams and herbs, which she said the early
settlers in America used, and it soon stopped
my cough and put me on my feet again.
One has but to travel along the frontier to
learn how easy it is to get along without
doctors and how effective are the natural
remedies which the old grandmothers know
how to prepare. They often cure where the
best physicians fail.
Every mother of a family knows how
coughs and colds are quickly and radically
cured with syrups and teas made from bal
sans and herbs which grandmother taught
us how to make"

An exciting runaway occurred on Water
street yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Aver of
Pittston hitched his horse in front of Fol.
SONS grocery store, and placed in front of
hima box of feed. The rope got caught under
the box and lifted it from the ground, scar
ing the horse who broke his halter and
rushed down the street, scattering TO the
winds the various farm products contained
the wagon. In front of the Augusta Nat
ional Bank, he ran into team breaking
both shafts and upsetting the equi.
librium of the horse. An organ was being
unloaded at Bean & Hamlen's and the truck
men had just time to get ii out Of the way,
before the frantic steed rushed by. He wa.
at last stopped in front of Fullers groc cry
store. The horse was slightly bruised and
the wagon was a complete wreck.
Water which stands in room should no
be used for drinking purposes, for the very
reason that it is a most excellent disin-
fectant. Set a pitcher of water in the apart
ment, and in few hours it will have alb
sorbed nearly all the respired gases in the
room the air of which will have become
purer, but the water utterly filthy. The
colder the water the greater the capacity to
contain these gases. At the ordinary tenn
perature pail of water will absorb pint OF
carbonic acid gas and several pints of am
monia. The capacity is nearly doubled by
reducing the water to the temperature of ice
Hence the water kept in room for awhile
is unfit for use.
