This sort Of thing continued until seemed
to be having a cold most of the time. My
throat would fill with mucus. 1 was constantly
hawking and raising; the mucus dropping back
INTO my throat seemed to derange my whole
system. The trouble IN my head gave me no
peace day or night. What with the distracting
ringing and buZzing sounds in my ears the con-
slant dull pains in my forehead, and the ever
lasting effort to clear my throqt of the phlegm
life became almost a misery.
"a dry, hacking cough added to my distress
Night sweats came on, and L lost in weight and

get up in the night to cough and raise in order
to clear my throat. l would get up in the
morning tired and weak and entirely unfit for
work.
Eat? Why, it didn't seem as If Icould eat
any thing. The very sight of food would nau-
seate me- If would eat ever so little it would
seem TO rest like load in my stomach. Ididn't
average two hours sleep a night. Indeed

had about given up hopes of ever getting any
better, and it really didn't make much differ
ence to me whether L lived or died. had
practically given up hope of ever getting any
better; and all l sought was to get rid Of my
discomfort and misery.

The Post says: The net results OF this weeks

stocks, which were an exception to the general

break in Sugar Trust. in which the net decline

decision against the Legality of the en-, o
net decline for that week was 10 points. This
week Chicago Gas has recovered 4 points and
Sugar Trust had recovered points to "a on
Friday. but to-day lost the recovery.
The price of Sugar Trust is the subject OF the
boldest manipulation. and Is apparently as un-
settled now as week ago. The opinion ex-

week was IN silver bullion certificates, which
closed last Saturday at 1919, and have ad-
vanced pretty steadily through the week to
1861 at IL o'clock to-day. The railr Dad situa-
tion has not changed during the week, and the
latest report of the earnings show that the
average of from II to IL per cent in gross
maintained. as is shown by the reported gross
earnings of "A roads for the fourth week of May
at S. 227, ,223 being increase of S53l 606 over
the same week last year. The earnings of the
roads and the general aspects of the railroad
situation are quite good enough to result in a
further advance in prices of Stocks and bonds,
and especially the low priced stocks. as soon as
money becomes plentiful as is almost certain
to be the case before the end of next month";
especially in view of the efforts of the admin
istration to get the money out of the United
States Treasury The expectation of some
kind of legislation on the silver question has
become so general that any failure on the
part of Congress to do so would probably cause
a reaction in prices in the stock market for a
time. But capital is SO abundant in Europe
and attractive investments so scarce. that such
reaction would probably be overcome in a
few weeks.

DICKENS FAMOUS GIN PUNCH.
He Made it Himself and wiilkie Collins Said
it Had No EqunI.


ir Had No Equal.
I believe, writes Mr.. John Eollingshead
in Niagara Spray that Charles Dickens
was more proud OF his skill in manufacture
ing his unrivalled gin punch than of being
the author of all his great works. The prep
arations for this concoction (Which I named
"Five shillings and costs") we're simple,
and yet elaborate. First of all the jug was
produced-the vat or the receptacle of the
brew. Then came plate and knives, then
the lemons, the sugar basin, and then,
finally, large table napkin. In the mean
time, the kettle on the hob had prepared the
boiling water. and the bottle of distilled
Gquid-an important factor, as the phrase
goes-was placed in the hands of the mas
ter.
I shall be guilty of no irreyerenee if 1
say that at this point his eyes twinkled and
generally winked. The process of blending
was like a coniuring trick performed by an
accomplished professor. The mixture being
made with care and dehcacy, and with a
certain amount of demonstrative pride, the
jug was placed upon the table and the nap
kin thrust into its mouth. The brew, timed
by the masters watch, had commenced, and
in q few minutes the napkin was withdrawn,
and Five shillings and costs" was ready
for conYivial distribution.
Among those who drank moderately and
admired (hugely) this Dickens nectar was
Wilkie Collins, who told me that next to a
well-made apple pudding be knew OF moth
ing more agreeable.
