PoRT Huron, Mich, Dec 15.-For
some time it has been known here and
at other points along the border that a
big consignment of opium was en- route
through Canada and that an effort would
be made to smuggle it across the border
somewhere in this district. Yes

We're dispatched up the shore with
instructions to look after consignment
Of the drug which would be landed
probably at Sand Beach or near there.

fully executed in so far as securing the
drug is concerned, but no arrests have
been made. The opium was landed
from little schooner near Port Hope
and hidden on the shore, the schooner
at once putting back to Canada.
The officers found the opium last
night, but the confederate who was
guarding it escaped. The opium is
valued at about $50, 600 and was brought
from Vancouver, b. {. 1t is believed

Try Not to Cough.
Baltimore NelDs

A physician who is connected with
an institution which contains many
children says: "There is nothing more
irritating to a cough. than to cough.
For some time | had been so fully as
sured of this that recently determined
if possible, for one minute at least, to
lessen the number of coughs heard in a
certain ward in the hospital of the in
stitutiOn. By the promise of rewards
and punishments l succeeded in Undue
ing them simply to hold their breath
when tempted to cough, and in Il little
while 1 was myself surprised to see
how some of the children recovered
entirely from their disease. Constant
coughing is precisely like scratching u
wound on the outside of the body so
long as it is done the wound will not
heal. Let person when tempted to
cough draw long breath and hold it
until it warns and soothes every air
cell, and some benefit will soon be re-
ceived from the process. The nitrogen
which is thus retained acts as an ano-
dyne to the irritated mucus membrane,
the desire to cough and giving
the throat and lungs a chance to heal.
At the same time a suitable medicine
will aid nature i'm her effort to recuper-
