A person that is weak and debllitated as
sumes a very great risk IL he fails TO give q
cold, be IL ever so slight immediate and
quick attention. When the system of such
q person becomes impregnated with deep
seated cold, 1t is almost sure to result in
pneumonia, disease that is very nearly al
ways fatal The timely use OF Smith
Tonic Syrup at the very beginning Of cold
will check it at once. Its timely use has
undoubtedly saved many lives. Its tonic
properties arc unexcelled, and its good ef-
feet on the circulatory system is felt at once,
preventing congestion Of the mucous MEM
brane and blood vessels. 1t is the common
sense treatment for malaria, chills and fever,
colds, influenza, la grippe, etc, and is far
superior TO quinine in its action, never leay-
ing auy harmful effect. 1t is the pre-
scription of DR.. John Bull, of Louisville,
KY, in which city it is used almost univer-
sally. Any druggist will get you the rem

Down Mountain slope.
Notwithstanding has its diversione

Victor Tissot in La Suisse Inconnue,
describes an amusing experience in
Switzerland while descending the Pic
Vanguard:
The descent was accomplished in an
hour. 1t was a pleasure party, fete.
found myself with gay party of Aus
trian tourists, with whom l speedily
became acquainted. Arriving at tho
top of great declivity of frozen snow.
tho guido stopped and asked, address,
ing himself to the ladies': SHOULD you
like to amuse yourselves llttle?" 1--WE
should not be Viennese if we refused.
Yes, let US amuse ourselves. Tho snow
is so delightful" Impatient and Gu
rious, they quickly grouped themselves
about the guide. "Well, we will de-
scend this beautiful snowy slope in
few minutes without the smallest dan
ger 1t is only necessary that the ladies
should have courage. This is how we
proceed: Each gentleman must seat
himself and take lady behind him,
holding her firmly by the ankles. AT
my signal you must all let yourselves
slide down. 1t is not difficult and we
shall gain half an hour" This manner
of descending, much used in the Alps,
was new to the ladies. and seemed to
them both droll and original Each of
us seated ourselves on an oVercoat,
folded in four and the ladies on their
l. Il THAR
knees. At the word Of command we set
off, dragging our companions, laughing
and uttering little shrieks. Some awk-
ward couples came to grief. but not
seriously, and the adventure terminal
ed without further accident. At the
foot of the slope the travellers, little
giddy from the headlong Journey rose
powdered with snow, and shook them
selves like water-dogs which had just
crossed river.

We've heard of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results you'll find a
guarantee printed on the bot
tle-wrapper that'll get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health? And "Favorite
Prescription" produces health.
Wonder is that there's a
woman willing to suffer when
there's a guaranteed remedy
in the nearest drug store

HE PEOPLE oE CAPRI.

Look on LIES bright side.

Look on LIES bright side.
! Tho Capresc, as the people OF Capri
are called, arc simple, very confiding,
grateful for kindness, easily amused,
and given to look on tho bright side OF
life. They are industrious, and have q
keen eye to the "main chance" They
are not poor, comparatively speaking,
and there are no thieves. by thieves
; mean robbers on a largo scale. The
pc asants who have no gardens will steal
few vegetables from their richer
neighbors when they can get the
chance, and servants will add solda
or two to the price Of every article
they get for the padrone. On the other
hand, houses may be left open day and
night without fear, and money in
unlocked drawers is perfectly safe. 1t
is argued that the difficulty there would
be in conveying stolen goods secretly
and speedily off the island explains the
scarcity of thieves, but reason for
good behavior may also be found, ]
think, in the absence of that squalid
misery which is a chief incentive &c
crime.
The Caprese are religious-which does
not prevent them from swindling
Jorestieri as much as possible. Protest
ants were made to be feeced," urge the
priests. Their religious ideas, as is
natural with so practical people, take
q very practical form. II the fishermen
attend mass regularly, SAINT Antonio,
patron saint of fishermen, will be so
pleased that he will beg the good God
to send them fine harvest of fish. The
masses, therefore, are always addressed
to a large and devout congregation.
And so it is in all their dealings with
the higher powers. So much dev0-
ton and money spent in wax candles,
professions and e-works--for which
the saints appear to have peculiar
partiality-so much worldly prosperity.
Tho motive seems low, but at any rate
the people believe profoundly in the
gods above-their devotion is real, and
there is no pretense at a faith for the
sake of appearances. They believe also
that the recitation of certain number
of ayes and paternosters will help to
heal wounds and sores, aches and pains,
Of every description. The altar of the
Madonna is surrounded by little waxen
effigies of arms, legs, hearts and so
forth, showing how potent are her
pleadings with the Trinity-for the
waxen arms, etc, correspondent to fleshy
members which have been healed by
means of her intercessions -Cornhill
