The Funeral Month Of March.

An observant metropolitan barber
says that he can tell ones physical
condition by the state of the hairl
The Bible tells us that with his hair
gone Samson lost his strength. The
Romans considered badness serious
affection and julius Cesar was never
quite satisfied with himself because
his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book
and one can readily trace in it's va
rious expressions, lines, changes and
complexion the state OF the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and
yet has pallid brightness, the face
upon whose cheeks nature paints a
rose of singular beauty and flush,
more marked in contrast with the
alabaster appearance of the forehead
and nose and lower part of
the face. is one OF those whom the skill
ed physician will tell you will some
day dread the funeral month OF March,
because it Is then that consumption
reaps it's richest harvest. Consump-
tion they tell us is caused by this that
and the other thing, by microbes in
the air, by micro-organisms in the
blood, by deficient nutrition, by q
thousand and one other things, but
whatever the cause, decay begins with
a cough and the remedy that will ef-
tectually stop the cause of that cough
hn IS ha
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of vast
ing. To stop it effectually, a remedy
must be used that will search out the
cause, remove that and then heal the
lung and do away with the cough.
This is the power, special to itself,
possessed alone by Warmers Log
Cabin Cough and Consumption rem
edy. This is no new-fangled notion of
narcotics and poisons, but an old
fashioned preparation OF balsams,
roots and herbs, such as was used by
our ancestors many years ago, the
formula of which has been secured ex-
clusively by the present manufacture
ers at great trouble and expense. It
is not mere cold dryer. 1t is a sys-
tem-searcher and upbuilder and a con-
sumption expellant. Where others
fail, it wins, because it gets at the con-
stitutional cause and removes it from
the system.

brought him his military cloak which
he has worn for many years. He put
it on, looked into the glass. and re-
marked that the collar ought to be re.
newed, as it seemed faded. The at.

better to get a new cloak, whereupon
the Kaiser replied: "What are you

The Comstock silver mines in VII

The Comstock silver mines in Vir'
ginia City mining science has reached
it's highest point, according to a San
Francisco newspaper, which says that
there they carry water down a verti-
cal shaft to the depth of LOO feet,
and then gear it back to the surface,
running the gigantic mills by the 1, 700
foot pressure. When the plan was
suggested to engineers of Europe they
laughed at it; but now it's proved
success and furnishes power immeas-
urably greater and cheaper than any
thing hitherto applied in mining.

more and more distressing. Wewere frequently

the child steadily getting worse and worse, until
about the goth of last July, when we began to
give him CUTICURA REsoLvENT internally. and

that we gave him only one dose of the REsoLvENT

gathered the money up, and it counted
just $3.50; then I sat down and pondered.
Surely the contents of the bag must have
been of great value to have called forth such
present, but the more tried to explain the
affair to myself, the moro I was puzzled.
The day wore slowly away; at sundown
the boat returned bringing word that the
other captains were disappointed ut my not
being with them.
At an early hour I sought my bed in any
thing but tranquil frame of mind, for
knew that should tho authorities discover
that had carried the bag ashore and left it,
no matter what the contents might be, it
would 60 hard with me, for the Spaniard of
the West Indies has little love for the Ameri-
can, and Is only too we'll pleased to catch one
tripping.
1t might have been midnight when I was
awakened from a troubled sleep by the sound
of boat humping alongside and the voices
of strangers on deck. At length several men
came down the forward companion way, but
they were met by the mate, who refused them
admission to the cabin. They then began
loudly calling for the captain

The fact that had concealed the presence
Of the bag in my cabin from tho officers, and
then stealthlly conveyed it ashore and deliv-
cred it to tho address upon it, was strong,
very strong point against me, and it re-
quired all the eloquence of the consul to
prove that I was ignorant of the contents OF
the bag.
.'If the prisoner had been aware what was
within the bag, would he have dared to have
taken it to Is Plaza di POGO in broad day
light, when the plaza is full of soldiers and
members of the secret servicef' asked my
countryman and defender.
This argument bore weight. For some ten
minutes the officers conye;sed apart, while
tho consul did his best to cheer me up.
When everything had been fixed appar-
emily to their satisfaction an elderly soldier,
ono who seemed to be chief among my judges,
arose and in lengthy speech imposed my
sentence. ,.
1.-The court had found that I had been but
IN unwilling agent, and therefore was not
wholly responsible, but inasn1uch as I had
surreptitiously conveyed the bag ashore
had thereby violated the customs rule and
was consequently found guilty and ordered
to pay fine Of $500 in gold and to remain
imprisoned within tho fort ct Matanzas until
shtal launf was paid. y
Oh, what relief. I almost tainted on
hearing tho sentence, the reaction was so
great!
AS may be imagined it required but q few
moments for the consul to give his bond for
tho amount, and I was q free man.
I had no desire to remain longer within
the walls of the grim old fortress, after my
release, and in company with my defender
hurried out through sally port which was
opened for our egress, and cs we were pass
