The Emperor Of Germany has his
faults but his resolution to put down
the practice Of dueling merits the warm
est praise. OF course there Is really NO
difference between the duelist and the
murderer, except that the former more
frequently kills in cold blood. But 1t
has taken people good many centuries
TO learn even this elementary truth, and
in Germany, which Is not the lepst en-
lightened Of nations, It has been difflcuIt
TO drive the fact home The dullest
man In the Fatherland understands,
however, what cashiering an oficer
means, and 1t may safely be concluded
that the punishment which the Emperor

Secretary Bayard was seen at his home by
a World representative, who asked him to
review the published correspondence of

controversy. He declined to do so at this
time, for the reason that the published
correspondence was of too iragmentary a
character to form the basis of just criti-
cism. am pleased" said Bayard, "to
see that the matter has reverted to the

What is Needed.

The great public desire a
medicine that is an absolute
specific for a cough or cold,
that allays Inflammation, re-
stores thu tone to the system
and acts as a tonic and stimu-
liant, while it is harmless and
can be given to children with
impunity. These qualities are
all contained in Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure. 1t is
composed of simple ingredients,
which combined in one prepa-
ration form the most efficacious
remedy yet tried for coughs,
colds and kidney complaints.
No one who has ever tried it has
ever regretted it 1t is an alb
solute cure for these diseases,
as can be proved. by the testi-
mony of thousands of reputa
BILE witnesses. 1t is peculiarly
efficacious in old age. The dry,
wheeling cough, the tigbtness
across the chest, the tendency
towards pneumonia, the throat
troubles. that are the scourge
and affiiction of old age, are all
relieved, and, in most cases,
cured by the use of Reid's Ger
man Cough and Kidney Cure.
Many cases that are pronounc-
ed incurable, and that nantes
ted unmistakable signs OF con-
sumption, have been not only
relieved but the patients have
been restored to health and were
able to resume their occupa
tons, which before taking this
great preparation they had been
obliged to give up. In this par
ticular Reid's German Cough
and Kidney Cure has never
been exceiled by any similar
remedy. People who ara racked
by a hard, dry cough at night
are enabled by the use of Reid's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure to obtain a most refresh
ing sleep, and to arise in the
morning on the road to recov-

be moro generally employed, and would

Take two bunehes Of common curled
hair as large as the closed flst of the per-
son whose feet are to be kept warm. A
little liberality In the quantity viii do no
harm. Pull this out and make q pad
largo enough to cover the sole Of the foot
from heel to toe. It must be pulled out
light and free from humps and punches.
Put ono Of these pads III each stocking
next the foot. The quantity of hair
must depend to some extent on tho
looseness Of the shoe. But whether
much or little ia used. the object
is to cover. the sole Of the foot only with
hair, and prevent the foot from coming in
contact with the stocking. The sides and
top will then take carr Of themselves.
The writer has successfully used bunch
Of hair less than the bulk of the fingers
Of one hand. So small . quantity Is
likely to be full Of Jumps, and does not
well protect the foot; yet it prevents the
foot from becoming cold enough to ache.

which can be combed from the name and

the hair, remove the stocking and place
the hair on the bottom of the shoe.-L
