Attention is called to the advertise ment of Mir. E. F. Randolph, which appears elsewhere In this issue of TIE TRAyELER. His cough, cold and croup cure, of which he sells the recipe only, is splendid medicine. The formuls was obtained from au old Virginia mother, who performed won- derful cures with it. Mr. Randolph is thoroughly reliable, and any one sending to him for his medicine will get an excellent article. When you consider that small bottle of the av- craze cough mixture costs 50 cents, and lasts but a short time, the econ- omy of purchasing good recipe will readily be seen.

Down to the Bottom.
Baltimore Sun,

A remarkable illustration of mans endurance under water comes from the oyster schooner "Lauclott," Captain Harry Jacobs, now lying at the foot of Philpot street. Captain Jacobs, his crew and John Johnson, the man who afforded the illustration, vouch for the story. On January 26th the vessel was dred ,ing in the vicinity of Thomas Point, and while cruising about she and another vessel were ir collision. The other vessel caught the line of the lee dredge on the "Lauclott,' which, tautening, caught John John son and threw him in the air and overheard. The heavy iron dredge followed, and as Johnson fell in the water he caught the dredge, and grasp ing it sunk beneath the vessel.
 The "Lauclott" was under way at the time. Captain Jacobs at once ordered the jib lowered and then the yawlboat The "falls" of the boat were found frozen so fast that they would not go overheard, and Captain Jacobs ordered them cut. Looking over the side and not seeing the man afloat, Captain Jacobs conceived the idea that John- son had become entangled in the dredge and could not disengage him. self. Then the crew jumped to the "crank," and never was an oyster dredge 80 quickly hoisted from the bottom. When it came to the surface Johnson was clinging to the line near the dredge, and to save his hand being mashed coming over the rollers the winding up was stopped and the man hauled on board.
 Johnson was dressed in his oilskin suit and sou'wester hat, and beyond losing one of his mitts and skinning his knuckles he was all right. He said to Sun reporter that he did not lose his presence of mind the whole time he was in the water. A strange incident, he relates, is that the dredge line, which from the vessel to the bottom is fully thirty feet long, acted as telephone to him while lying in the mud grasping the iron dredge that anchored him SO fast. He could clearly hear the orders being given above him, hear the footsteps of the crew running about the deck, the noise of the jib as it ran down, and the splash of the yawlboat dropping into the water. His head was close to the line that held the dredge, and he vouches for the assertion that the sounds from above travelled down the rope as freely and clearly as in cases where telephone is not clearly under stood by being slightly out Of order. The water was twenty-seven feet deep where Johnson went over. Captain Jacobs and his crew say it was nearly three minutes from the time Johnson was thrown overheard until he was rescued.

 THE TURNING FONT.
 My son, once upon time there was boy--a real live, iesh-and- blood skin- and bones boy, not story book boy. He lived in Germany, but that was not his fault, and you should not lay it against him. He did worse things than that, although he was only a boy. One day he was reading 6 book, German book, so full of gut turals that a man might read it with his head cut of. It was blood and thunder novel, and this boy became greatly excited when he came to the chapter where the count drew hii schallowwindegepipegestaschenmesse which is German for bowie knife and rushed upon the duke.
 "Here," exclaimed the boy, "thi: will not do; I am becoming excited I cannot study so we'll after this And right straight-away he threw the novel into the river, and never looked into another one, and so that boy grew up and became German philosopher and wrote many pages of much stuff that nobody could understand, any left behind him, inscribed on the en- during tablets of fame, a name that very few boys of your age can pro- nounce without making faces. That boy was Fichte, the great German phi losopher. And who was Fichte? Oh, ask your mother. She will tell you all about him. I would like to be standing somewhere out of sight that I might hear her tell you. I don't have much fun these days. "And what was his philosophy" Oh, ask your father. How I would like-oh, how I would like to hang around and lis- ten to your fathers idea of Fichte's philosophy. How l would like to listen to it!-Brooklyn Eagle.
