Perhaps the readers OF THE LEADER
could like to know In what respect Cham.
berlain's Cough Remedy is better thar
any other. We will tell you. When this
Remedy is taken as directed, as soon as a
cold has been contracted, and before it
has become settled in the system, it will
counterfeit the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen its severity, if not effec
tually cure the cold in two days time and
1t is the only remedy that will do this. 1t
acts in perfect harmony with nature and
aids nature in relieving the lungs, open
ing the secretions, liqueiying the mucus
and causing it's expulsion from the air
cells Of the lungs and restoring the sys-
tenn to a strong and healthy ccndiuon.
No other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No other
will cure a cold as quickly or leave the
system in as sound a condition. so cent

A Play Is an Animated Picture.

l remember that during the rehearsal
of "The School for Scandal" l was i'm
pressed with the idea that the perform
ance would not go well. 1t is always
a difficult matter to bring a company of
great artists together for a night and
have them act in unison with each
other; not from any i'll feeling, but from
the fact that they are not accustomed to
play together. In a fine mechanical
continuance the ease and perfection with
which it works often depend upon the
fact that the cog wheels have their diff
ferent proportions. On this occasion
they were all identical in size, highly
polished and well made, but not adapted
to the same machinery.
Seeing a hitch during the rehearsal in
one of the important scenes, 1 ventured,
in my official capacity, to make a sug-
gestion to n of the old actors. He re-
garded me with a cold, stony gaze. as
though l had been at a great distance
which l was, both in age and in expert
ence-and gave me to understand that
there was but n way to settle the mat
ter, and that was his way. OF course, as
the company did not comprise the one
regularly under my management, 1 felt
that it would be becoming in me to yield,
which l did, not, however, without pro-
testing that the position 1 took was the
proper and only one under the circum-
stances, and when 1 saw the scene fail
and virtually go to pieces at night, 1 con-
fess that l felt some satisfaction in the
knowledge that my judgment had been
correct. In fact, the whole entertain
ment, while it had beer a financial sue
cess, was an artistic failure. People
wondered 10Y SO many great actors could
make a performance go off so tamely.
Harmony is the most important ele-
ment in a work of art. In this instance
each piece of mosaic was perfect in form
and beautiful in color, but when fitted
together they matched badly, and the
effect was crude. An actor who has
been for years the main attraction in his
plays, and on all occasions the central
and conspicuous figure of the entertain
ment, can scarcely be expected to adapt
himself at once to being grouped with
others in n picture; having so long
performed the solo, it is difficult to ac-
company the air. A play is like a pict-
ure: the actors are the colors, and they
must blend with one another if a perfect
work is to be produced. Should they
fail to agree as to the value and distribu-
ton of their talents, then, though they
be ever so great, they must submit their
case to the care and guidance of a master
hand.-Joseph jefferson in The Century.

We used to rake up the fire nights and

morning. If we lost the fire we had to
use a flint and steel and hammer away
at it until we sent a spark into the tin
der. Even then there was an outfit that
could be bought for a quarter at the
apothecary's called PHOSPHORUS matches.
1t consisted of a round box, six inches
long and an inch in diameter. In the
top were the matches, and in the bottom
was a small vial into which they had to
be thrust to procure the light. Before

4 sudden thaw in spring is a common
enough cause of the swelling and over.
flow of rivers, but few people have ex-
perience of what might be called magic
rivers" which disappear almost as gud-
denly as they are born. One such, how
ever, is described by w. H1Mallock in
his account of Cyprus, entitled "In an
Enchanted Island"
On a certain evening there was a sue
cession of thunder showers, and then,
all he night, a heavy and ceaseless
downpour. This" said my host, in the
morning, fought to make a river" l
asked what he meant by this, and he
answered that the river below us was
rarely anything more than a dry bed of
pebbles, just as it was now.
But generally once-sometimes three
times-in the year it would suddenly fill
with water, flow for an hour or two, and
again become dry and silent. l felt that
he sight mus be curious and wished
that l might be able to witness it.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon a
servant came to my bedroom and asked
me to go into the garden. There 1 found
my host with an opera glass, standing
on the bank.
Look" exclaimed he, pointing. at
is coming. Listenl You can hear it."
l listened and looked. lat last caught
a sound, faint and uncertain, as leaves
r~ustling in a dream. Then suddenly, far
away on the plain, | saw something flash,
like the head of a pointed spear. Grad
ually this prolonged itself into a slim
shining line, which presently took a
curve. For a time its course was straight.
Then it curved again.
In ten minutes, over the brown surface
of the fields the water had stretched itself
like a long, silvery snake, and the sound
l had heard, growing every instant more
distinct, explained itself to the ear as the
voice of the stirred pebbles. The river
channel skirted the bottom of the garden,
and thus, as the flood went by, we had
every opportunity of observing it. 1t
pushed itself forward, headed by a mass
of bubbles and scum; it split itself into
fierce rivulets, which, a moment later,
were drowned in the body ofsthe stream;
it gurgled against banks; it circled into
transitory whirlpools.
Gradually, as we watched, its volume
seemed to diminish, and in an hours time
there was only a trickling rill, over which
achild five years old might have stepped.

History has recorded that a foreign
princess to whom Henry VIII of Eng
land offered his hand in marriage sent
back the pointed answer that ''if she had
two heads she would gladly have placed
one of them at his majesty's disposal"
This allusion to the fate of Anne Boleyn
and Katherine Howard was good speci-
men of the ~epigrammatic smartness of
that period; but, says Mr.. David Kerr,
an equally creditable performance has
been furnished by our own age.
Just at the time when vague reports
were beginning to creep abroad that
Germany was meditating fresh extension
of her frontier at the expense of Holland
a Dutch official of high rank happened
to be visiting the court of Berlin, where
he was handsomely entertained. Among
other spectacles got up to amuse him a
review was organized at Potsdam.
"What does your excellency thing of
our soldiers asked Prince Bismarck, as
one of the regiments came marching past
in admirable order.
"They look as if they knew how to
fight" replied the visitor, gravely, ''but
they are not quite tall enough"
The prince looked rather surprised at
this disparaging criticism. He made no
answer, however, and several other regi-
ments filed past in succession; but the
Dutchman's verdict upon each and all
was still the same: mot tall enough"
AT length the g%renadiers of the guard
made their appearance magnificent
body of veterans, big and stalwart
enough to have satisfied even the giant
loving father of Frederick the Great; but
the memorable critic merely said, Fine
soldiers, but not tall enough"
Then Prince Bismarck fairly lost pa
thence, and rejoined, somewhat sharply,
''These grenadicrs are the finest men in
u whole army; may l ask what your
excellency is pleased to mean by saying
that they are not tall enough"
The Dutchman looked him full in the
face, and replied with significant empha-
sis, 81 mean that we can flood our coun-
try twelve feet deep."-London It'd Bits.

"The bunch grass which grows so lux
uriantly upon the western plains is a,
curious plant" said a ranchman yester-
day. 1T grows everywhere throughout
the west wherever there is the slightest
rainfall, and in the greatest luxuriance
along the river bottoms. It's a godsend
to the grazing industry, and although a
homely plant, possesses more of the fat
tening qualities than the far famed blue
grass of old Kentuck. Indeed, much of
the fast horseflesh of the mountain dis
tricts owes its staying powers to a diet
upon this %succulent grass. Spokane, for
example, took its full allowance of bunch
grass in his coltish days. Bunch grass
grows in thick hummucks, or punches,
as the name would indicate.
Half a hundred sharp pointed spears
often arise from a single hump, and often
to a height of eighteen inches. In the
spring it is a delicate green, but later on
dries up, but cures TO perfection upon
the root. During the winter cattle dig
with their noses for this grass concealed
beneath the snow. However, if the
snow is covered with a crust, steers are
thus cut off from their usual food and
die off in large numbers, as it is a pecu-
liarity of a steer that it never uses its
hoofs in removing the snow from the
familiar pasturage. Horses, however,
break the crust with their hoofs, and
thus stand the hard western winters bet
ter than cattle. The buffalo always
makes use of the hoofs in uncovering
the food, and somewhere down in Kan
sas there is a stock farm where this fac
ulty of using the hoofs is being devel-
oped by judicious crossing of buffaloes
with the native cattle. = Minneapolis
