An Experience in a Blizzard.

Miss Mary Cogswell, daughter of Rev. j.
S. Cogswell, of this city, was in New York at
the time of the storm, and had perilous and
thrilling experience. With another young
lady she was going from the cars at 1O4th
street to her home which is only four blocks
away. The snow was at that time four or
five feet, and even higher in places. They
had gone but short distance when they
both stuck fast in the snow. In their strug-
giles the young lady with Miss Cogswell
tainted from fright and exhaustion Miss
Cogswell, however, retained presence ofmind
enough to call for help. Her cries were
heard by some men, and the two young
ladies were rescued just in time. Miss Cogs-
well writes that the terrors of that storm
cannot be expressed. 1t was binding, be-
wildering and terrifying.

HOW MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods of approach adopt
ed by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward
off the danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances
the inherent strength of the body sutices to ena-
BILE it to oppos The tendency toward death. Many
however, have lost these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help. In other cases, a
little aid to the weakened Lungs will make all
the difference between sudden death and many
years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms of
Cough, Cold or any trouble OF the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and well known remedy
Boschees German Syrup, careful trial. 1t will
prove, what thousands say of it, to be the "bene-
factor of any home" nov1-dlycT
