MIR. John Keown, the worthy post
master at Keown, Allegheny County,
Penn, says: Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy sells better than any other"
The reason of this is because it can al
ways be depended upon. Let any one
troubled with a severe cold give 1t a
trial and they will find that the first
dose will relieve the lungs and make
breathing easier, and that its continued
use will free the system of all symptoms
of the cold. The promptness and GER
tainty of this remedy in the relief and
cure of colds, has won for it many sin
cere friends and made it very popular.

When the Admiral returned to New York
lie devoted his energies to the school at
Burning sllp. Years before there had been
school Of navigation established by an
odd character named Thoms, on the east
side OF town. a very pebean affair it was
when he opened it, shortly after the close
OF the civil war. he was practical nayi-
gator, however, and a really fine mathema-
tician, though very eccentric. 1t fingered a
while under his management, and then.
when Thoms had made his last entry in the
~-log-book and weighed anchor for better
shore, the school passed over TO the COM
mand Of Mrs. Browniow, smart
widow and the first woman in Amer
lea, if not in the world, to teach navi-
CATION. She taught her pupils how to
make dead reckoning, to take the morning
aud afternoon sights and to calculate the
meridian altitude as skillfully as the most

that it only takes month to acquire it, and
THAT "no knowledge of mathematics is

CHANGED.

The fairies whispered in merrie May
"Come. come qu ckIy, flowers fair"
And dainty blossoms pink and white
Covered the apple trees brown and bare.
Gay dandelions in meadows cleaned,
The grass showed merry sOldier-like blades,
The maiden's hair nodded, and violets blue
Nestled close to the trees in sylvan glades
The bees buzzed about among the flowers
With cheerful. cheering constant sound,
And the little bird sang its soul away
To the loving heart that it had found.
But the golden dandelions now
Are fluffy bits of browny fuzz,
And the bees that kissed the flowers fair
Have lost their cheerf III CHEEKY buzz.

And sing TO fiedgIings n lullaby;

And many perfect summers day,
But for fairy-like, fragile beauty fair,
There is never a month like May.

The Use of the Pyr,mids

Nobody has ascertained the idea of the
Pyramid-builders, and until it is ascer-
tanned, it is fOolishness to condemn their
folly. Those structures-which, after all,
have fulfilled one end, having survived not
only the people which produced them, but
even their ideas-may have been royal
tombs, and therefore, useless expenditures
of state strength; or they may have been
structures intended to record through ages
certain astronomical facts, in which case
they were evidences of wonderful loftiness
Of mind; or they may have been set ON foot
only as palliatives for the social problems
OF the day-that is. as method Of finding
work for multitndes Of men who, because
the state had absorbed all the surplus
wealth Of the cultivating classes, could find
no one 10 pay them wages.-The Spectator.

The wearing Of natural flowers cannot be
depended GU to last after the really hot
weather comes on, though one modiste says
she expects to see natural daisies used to
garland young girls dancing toilets the
whole season. In artificial flowers the vel
vet blooms are best liked. They go best
with the now popular velvet ribbons. For
bodice trimmings white roses edge the
decUlletage, or the bertha may be entirely
of punk roses. Triple sprays are sometimes
allowed to come from the shoulders and
of roses are used at the bottom, or long
garland may start on one side just below
the waist and be caught across the front or
hang straight TO the hem. Natural green
leaves are often tied in with artificial
blooms.

green, green velvet is almost invariable.
Pointed bodiceS are noted in the Paris i'm

with fi0wers about the decolletage, or

was banished last season, is not re-estab-
lished, though it is often seen. The En-
pire bodies still fold over, crossing front
and back and ending in a sash belt, which,
however, is no longer wide enough to mount
to the butt, but contents itself with more
modest proportions. Recamier folds or
