That Little Tickling.

You have been cautioned many times to
do something to get rid of that little
tickling in your throat, which makes you
cough once in while and keeps you con-
stantly clearing your throat. You reply.
20, that's nothing" ut will get well of
itself, =" ETC., will not cure it, nor will the
disease stand still; it will grow worse or
better. This trouble arises from catarrh,
and, as catarth is constitutional disease,
the ordinary cough medicines all fail to hit
the spot. What you need is a constitutional
remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many
people who have taken this medicine for
scrofula, dyspepsia, loss of appetite, and
other troubles, have been surprised that 1T
should cure this troublesome cough. But
to know the actual cause of the cough IS to
solve the mystery.
Probably nearly all case of consump-
ton could be traced back to the neglect Of
some such slight affection rs this. The
best authority on consump on, says that
this disease can be control / In its early
stages, and the effect of Z DDS Sarsapa-
rilla in purifying the bloC building up
the general health, and expe5 ing the scrof-
ula faint which is the cause e catarrh and
consumption, has restored to perfect health
mnny persons on whom this dreadful dis
ease seemed to have firm hold.

THE GREAT EASTERN GONE.
The Leviathan Broken Up for Old Iron
After Thirty Years Service.

We have so often been called upon in
past years, says the London Graphic, to
announce the last, and the very last, and
positively the last of this magnificent but
generally useless ship which has fingered
through al obscure and proitlesS existence,
since her single voyage to New York, New
Orleans and Melbourne proved a CONNER
cial failure. that the standard hull on the
Meriey shore, ready to be broken up for
few thousand pounds worth of old iron,
may seem but a Renaissance of the fate
repeatedly declared to be imminent and
commonly believed to be past.
1t Is thirty years since she first put to
sea from the Thames, and her passage
down the Channel was married by
shocking disaster-from the blow-up of
her steamer apparatus which cost ten
lives; but the laborious efforts to launch
this enormous ''Leviathan. as she was at
first called, in 1857, from Mr.. ScOtt-Rus-
sells building yard at Millwall had been
ominous of i'll success. Men were killed by
the breaking of the gear attached to hyd-
raulic engines that slowly pushed her,
broadside on. into the comparatively mar
row river, and Mr.. Brunei, the eminent
engineer, dying a few days afterward, was
thought to be a victim of some anxiety
and severe disappointment.
One serviceable and honorable perfor-
nance, the laying of an Atlantic telegraph
cable in 1866. is set down to the credit of
the Great Eastern; but experience has
shown that vessels of moderate size can do
such work as well 1t is sad chapter in
the history of marine architecture, and
some people must have lost at one time
and another nearly million sterling alto
gether by this immense mistake. The
Great Eastern might, perhaps, have been
converted into very commodious floating
hotel, moored in some tranquil bay; she
could never have been a good sea-going
ship, or competed in speed comfort or
safety with the admirable liners of re-
cent construction. Her engines, indeed,
were manifestly of insufficient power, and
she rolled grievously for lack of keel The
dimensions of the big ship were 601 feet
length, so feet width and 60 feet depth;
capacity, %, 800 tons burden.

A SLAVE TO MORPHINE.
The Details of the Horrible Death of Bern
hardts Husband.

The story comes from Paris giving some
sensational details of the death Of Jacques
Damala husband of Sarah Bernhardt.
Damala was a slave to the morphine habit,
and during his last season with Sarah In
Egypt went so far as to forge the mines of
doctors from Cairo and Alexandria 10 pre-
scriptions made by himself, ordering enor-
NOUS quantities Of the soothing poison.
Walters were bribed by him In every hotel
where he lived, and became his accom-
plices In the slow but sure work Of his own
destruction.
On their return from Egypt Sarah and
her troop stopped at Milan. There DANA
la could TO longer hide his situation from
his friends. One evening. when seated
with his wife at table d'hote, he was
seized for the first time with fit Of de-
lerium tremens In the presence Of more
that 100 terrified people. Around him he
saw nothing but rats, who were, he howl

and trying to eat up his vitals.
His formerly fine features were then

the dresses Of several guests In the dining
hall. No one dared lay hands on him; but
Sarah, although frightened to death, seized
him in her arms, and by dint of caresess
and kind words brought him back at last
to his senses. From that eventful day
Sarah had him carefully watched, and as
soon as he was back with her to Paris,
she summoned three of the most famous
doctors. and asked them to prepare mix
t1re exactly similar to morphine, but
thoroughly innocuous, and induced Da-
mala to use It. At first he had been very
suspicious, and had made a careful analysis
of the new potion, as would have done a
thief who would have stolen counterfeit
coin But he had discovered nothing, and
was thus saved from himself for little
while. Sarah, all absorbed by the re-
hearsals of Lena. at the Varieties, had
summarily locked him up in her own house
on the boulevard Percire, denying him all
kinds of flashes, potions, packages, and
even his street garments, from fear he
would escape and buy the real articles at
some druggists place.
One day, however, he recovered his lib

haunted by the idea that every one around
him was prosecuting him. He imagined

Mexican Products and Exports.

WAsHNGToN,-Th Thomas Ryan, United
States Minister to Mexico, in a report to
the Department of State on Mexican pro-
ducts and exports says: The productions
of sugar, corn, and wheat are remarkably
small; the average value of the sugar is
about 81 cents per pound, and the ex-
ports thereof 215 cents per pound. aggre-
eating only 5107, 276, said to be the most
inferior grade. The average value of the
coffee product is % cents per pound, about
one-half of which is exported at value of
1853 cents per pound, and the value of the
Hennequen (hemp) export is more than
twice the combined value of the entire
export of sugar, coffee, wheat and extile
(fbre).
The native sugar product coming into
the City of Mexico has steadily decreased
from 1854. 558 Kilograms in 1884 to f.,
681 ,2O7 Kilograms in 1888. There has
been a steady increase In beef consumption
