990-THE PROFESSORS PROBLEM.
DR.. Love, of Blarney College.
Was man renowned for knowledge,
Knew the laws of navIgators,
All about the lunar rators.
Decimal and vulgar fractions,
Even up in comic sections,
For he kept in memory's attics
All the laws of mathematics.
Yet, like any hayseed stupid,
He was victlmized by Cupid.
And TIl tell you how it happened.
After school one day had opened
He was working at problem.
AS the subject seemed tn trouble him,
He was sweating like Hindu,
When there passed before his window
One of those whose queer demeanor
Worried Mr.. Weller, senior,
And l fear the sylph-like vision
Interfered with his precision.
''Twenty-one and eight and twenty
(But the damsel looketh dainty,

Just one-sixth bushel enter.
Now divide the whole directly

HOW TO DRESS WE'LL.
Suggestions for the Ambitious Mnn of Only
Moderate Means.

Moderate Mems.
A man can dress well on q moderate in.
come. All the expense is in the first outlay.
He should buy Prince Albert suit and pay
$50; cutaway suit for $40; business suit
for 500; dress suit for $50; heavy over
coat for $50, and a light overcoat for $50.
That means an outlay of $3.50. 1t is true,
but YOU are fixed for Lie. To keep that
wardrobe up all you nave to do is to buy
either an overcoat or suit every spring and
fall. The years expenditure means only
one overcoat and one suit at maximum
cost OF $3.50, which isn't much to pay for
wearing apparel for whole year.

Coughing

OONS AAA5
is Natures effort to expel foreign sub
stances from the bronchial passages.
Frequently, this causes Inflammation
and the need of an anodyne. No other
expectorant or anodyne is equal to
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. 1t assists
Nature in ejecting the mucus, allays
irritation, induces repose, and is the
most popular of all cough cures.
"O the many preparations before the
public for the cure of colds, coughs,
bronchitis, and kindred diseases, there
is none, within the range of my expert
ence, so reliable as Ayers Cherry Pee
toral. For years was subject to colds,
followed by terrible coughs. About four
years ago, when so afflicted, 1 was adj
vised to try Ayers Cherry Pectoral and
to lay all other remedies aside. I did
80, and within week was well of my
cold and cough. Since then 1 have
always kept this preparation in the
house, and feel comparatively secure"
Mrs. L. L. Brown, Denmark, Miss.
ga few years ago I took severe cold
which affected my lungs. 1 had ter
rible cough, and passed night after
night without sleep. The doctors gave
me up. I tried Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
which relieved my lungs, induced sleep,
and afforded the rest necessary for the
recovery of my strength. By the con-
tinual use of the PectOral, a permanent
cure was effected. .'-Horace Fairbrother,

In many of the islands at the present time
the body of dead chief is buried in a small
marae. The corpse is laid upon the ground
and around and over il is reared o rectangu-

about 10 feet long by half as many in
breadth and height. IL due proportion to
the dignity of the chief below the tumulus
has larger dimensions and in some cases

Close upon the brink OF sheer cliff on

feet In height. When carefully opened it
was found TO contain the bones Of the dead
