An honest Swede tells his story in
plain but nnistakable language for
the benefit of the public. One. of my
children took severe cold and got the
Group. I gave her teaspoonful of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy, and in
five minutes later I, gave her one more.
By this time she had to cough up the
gathering in her throat. Then she went
to sleep and slept good for fifteen min
utes. Then she got up and vomited;
then she vent back to bed and slept
good for the remainder of the night,
She got the Group the second night and
I gave the same remedy with the same
good results. I write this because I
thought there might4be some one in the
same need and not know the true mer-
it's of this wonderful medicine

An Incident That EIarred tho First Voyage
 Of an Old Sailor Man.
 'T made my first voyage in 1850," said the mate of the Argenta at St. John, N B., one day lest summer, as the New York Sun reports the story. ''I shipped in Q brig bound from here to Glasgow with deals and rough spars. I was almost . man grown and had served year in sail loft, so that I could splice and cut and sew sails, but I shipped as ordinary seaman at ten shillings a month less than the other scame2. The second night out it came on to blow and we were rousted out to take in sail. Before the wind was passed I was in my bunk in the fore castle-a house on deck, like the Ar genta' 's-sitting there, and on the other side was another man sitting there looking at me very hard. All at once he points his finger at ne and says:
 You murdered ne wifer
 ''I says: You're a liar! I never saw your wife I was pretty fresh for a boy, you know, but he took me all abaclz, unexpected like, just as when the customs-house officer yesterday asked me where Greenland was.
 "Well, there he sat, staring at me very sober, and pretty soon he points his finger ct me again and says, solemn like:
 "'You murdered ne wife
 "'You'rc a bloonin' liar,' I says, again. I never saw your wife
 ''With that he begins telling he's going ashore to sec 6 man he calls by namo that used to live near St. John in those days, and turns to slowing his clothes in a bag, and we could see he was in the deliriums. He worked in a terrible hurry, singing out to man he said was outside in a dory waiting for him to hold fast 9 minute and he'd make haste, and just then comes the mate and bawls for all hands to reef top sails, as 1 was saying to you.
 sfThGt was my frst night aloft, you know, and I never thought no more about his saying I'd murdered his wife til got back to my bunk, after turn ing two reefs in the topsails. Then saw he was gone.
 Next morning the second mate calls to me when came on deck.
 Do you want to see the coffin of the man what said you murdered his wife? says he.
 '''Yes, sir,' says I.
 Come aft here and look over the rail, then says he. So I went and looked, and there was shark about as big as that yawl swimming along under the counter, waiting for another of us"

Stanley Tells a Curious Story About the Dwarfs and Their Poisoned Arrows.

Stanley Tells a Curious Story About the
 Dwarfs and Their Poisoned Arrows.
 When we first encountered the tribe who fought with poisoned arrows, writes Stanley in Scribner, we were not prepared to be greatly impressed with the danger, but we received a severe lesson in August, 1887, during a fight with the Avisibba savages. Young fel- lows, inspired by the example of Lieut. enant Stairs, R. E., rushed with brave homicidal intentions to the front, and the tiny arrows sailed in showers past them; but some of them found their intended billets, and were arrested quivering in arms and shoulders. With contemptuous smiles the young men drew them out and flung them away, and some continued answering the sav- ages with rife shots, while others sought the surgeon, bearing with them the arrows with which they had been wounded. When the days fight was over of course we had more leisure to examine the missiles, and our anxiety was great when we observed that they had been freshly smeared with brown, gummy-like substance which emitted a subtle acrid odor, with suspicion of asaf9tida in it. The arrows seemed to have been plunged into pot contain ing goodly quantity of a resinous sub- stance, and twirled around in it and well soaked and then lifted up in a bunch and covered with banana or a piece of phrynium leaf. Quivers full of the arrows showed us that the weapons were considered by their owners to be dangerous, for those so smeared were tied together, head downward, and apart from the others.
 Yet the wounds made by these slender arrows were mere punctures, such as might have been made by fnely-pointed butchers skewers, and being exceed ingly ignorant of the effect we con- tented ourselves with swinging them with warm water and dressing them with bandages. In some instances af- fectionate men sucked their comrades wounds, to make sure that nothing of the substance should be left to irritate them. In no instance was this method of any avail. All who were wounded either died after terrible sufferings from tetanus, or developed such terrible gan grenous tumors as to incapacitate them from duty for long periods or wreck their constitutions so completely by blood-poisoning that their lives became a burden to them.

CLIouEs IN CLUBS.
Every Large Club Has Its Sets of Fellows
 Who Aide Hobbies.

Every Large Club Has Its Sets of Fellows
 Who Ride Hobbies.
 In every large club there are sets or cliques. Every other member naturally drifts into one of these sets very soon after he joins the club, says writer in the New York Sun. They may be de- fined in this way: First, there is the billiard set. Its members rarely visit any other part of the club than the billiard room, and every other member knows just where to find them. They are usually evening men, for the bill iardtables are not much used in the day time. Most of them are billiard ex- perts-gentlemen experts, of course and they can not tolerate the ordinary billiard player.
 Then there is the card set. Not all the clubs allow card playing, but most of them do. In a good many of the clubs whist is nominally played, but actually all sorts of gambling games with cards are permitted. All the card players in the club gradually drift into this set. Of course, occasionally, men play a quiet game without becoming
 
 members of the card set, and their presence is not at all desirable to the latter.
 There are some men who have fallen into the habit of breakfasting at their clubs, and are never seen there at any other time. Others come only to lunch con. Their places of business are not remote from the clubhouse, and they drop over there for an hour in the mid- dle of the day. Sometimes they bring friends along, and they always have 9 good time. This is pleasant set.
 The set containing the men who hang around the clubs in the daytime Is a very peculiar one. Its members are either wealthy young fellows who think it beneath them to engage in any useful occupation, or men who prefer to do their work at night. The latter are few. These are the men who con- stantly occupy the club windows and gaze out upon the fashionable throng with superciliousness.
 A good many only see the club when they drop in on their way home to take a cocktail. They are family men, who go home to dine, and occupy their even- ings with social engagements or do- mestic affairs. It is no unusual thing to see fifty men drop into club be- tween four thirty and six o'clock, just for the purpose of taking little champagne and bitters, or less aris- tocratic cocktail. These men rarely stay more than half an hour. The read- ing set contains avery desirable element of the club. Its members are quiet, gentleranly fellows, who lend tone and dignity to the club and are always we'll informed.
 The dinner set is not so well defined as the others. It includes men of all kinds, but there are particular men who come only then, and who are ex- perts in good living. These are always good fellows, and everybody is glad to know them. A man who dimes we'll must be a good fellow in his heart, and usually is an interesting one, too.

AN ADVENTURE ON TIE eANeEs
The TsratI, Of 9 Sleeper Whose Slumber
 Had Been Disturbed.


 On sailing up the Ganges, says a writer in the be-Democrat, my boat happened to be moored by the side of a large budgerow Ia Bengal pleasure bcaD in which a somewhat choleric gentleman was, as I conceived, at rest; all his boatmen and servants, to the number, dare say, of twenty-five CT thirty, were sleeping, rolled in their white shawls, upon the roof of the apartment in which he was lying, which rose like Q poop above the deck. It was Q beautiful night, and in the neighbor- hood of Colgong, ono of the most TO- nantic parts of tho river.
 was seated On the deck, although it was past midnight, enjoying the scene, when my cc2tc2plctions were disturbed by an unusual splashing in tic water. - On turning in the direction cf the noise 1 saw the unfortunate men leaping and tr1nbling into the river from the boat Of ny passionate neighbor, who was standing like Q madman on the deck brandisl1ing a stick over their heads. Never shall I forget the scene. The moon 1t ID his bald head, for he had thrown his nightcap at one of the people in 6 rage at not being able to reach him with his stick. The boat men, who arc always expert swim mers and did net seem to lose their presence Of mind by the sudden transi- tion, very soon reached the shore and gazed in astonishncnt, as did myself, at the comedy in which they had taken such unexpected and conspicuous parts. 1 conceived some terrible cffense must have been given to have called for such an unconprCrlieing severity, for every one was driven from his berth. I was soon relieved from my suspense, how ever. The victor strutted two or three times over the deserted field, then turn ing toward the routed enemy, who seemed to rally on the banks, shook his stick at them and cried out in Hindo- stance:
 ''I'n teach you to snore, you scoun- drels!''
 This ludicrous explanation of the whole mystery affected the crew as it did myself, and a loud laugh was the reply. So extravagant a punishment fer as natural fault they thought it absurd to think further about; and with the greatest good humor, not willing, however, to run the risk of a second fight, they kindled fire and, squatting around it, smoked their pipes and laughed at the event till it was time to prepare for sailing.
 It is not likely so touchy traveller would give a favorable account of the people he travelled among, as he was always one Of their most violent abusers. Poor man! The recollection of his fate almost rebukes me for hay ing written the above anecdote. He was murdered 8 short time afterward on the banks of the river in his prog ress to Cawnpore.

In a Pound Of Tea.

A man who argues that one pound of tea makes four hundred small or three hundred ordinary-sizcd cups states his case as follows: Tea testers ordinarily use Q silver fivc-cent piece for weighing the exact quantity required for cup. As there are about twenty-five fve-cent pieces to an ounce, and as there are sixteen ounces to Q pound, it follows that ono pound of tea will actually make four hundred cups, according to the standard of strength ordinarily re- quircd by professional testers. The cups used for this purpose contain, however, one-fourth less than the aver age domestic teacups. It will, there fore, be seen that after making due allowance for the difference in the size Of the cups the number will be very close to three hundred.

SURVIVED HIS EXECUTION.
The Soldiers Fired a VoIIcy at Him and
 Then 1Earc:lol Away.

Then lE9rc:ol Away.
 A man who has attended his own cX- ecution ard still survives to relate the details is surely worthy of q short para graph. Inc man in question, though at present serving in the humble capacity Of waiter in enc cf the Paris cafes, was, tvcaty-orc years ago, CIe Of the his tcric characters of tho world. His naulc is Colonel Marteras, and in 1869 he was on tho point of being proclaimed President Of Uruguay, when Ee was ar rested, charged with treason, and sen fenced to bc shot.
 On Monday. June 30, of that year, says the St. Louis Republic, he was taken by q platoon of soldiers out of tho capital to . cleared spot il the heart Of a forest and bound to a chair. At the word 'F;cer' a nervous shock caused Martercs to fal to the ground. He did net hear the voilcy, but a laborer work ing Ge2r by did. Tie workman went to ascertain the cause, saw the soldiers marching away and Marteras badly wounded, but not dead by any means, lying on tho ground. The labOrcr took tie Would-bc president home and cured his wounds, and he and Marteras now often tell of t,2c supposed execution of tic French prcteGder."

A British Buried City.

It is reported that British Pompeii or buried city has been discovered on the estate of the Duke of Wellington, in Berkshire, and an exhibition of ar ticles discovered in it is to be held in London. The excavations have brought to view the remains of house orna- mented with mosaic floors and contain ing rooms heated by hypocaturto. Among the articles to be exhibited are potsherds, bones, combs, bronze uten- sils, fragments of good glass vessels, pieces of ironwork, chiefly tools, includ- ing carpenters planes, chisels, axes, hammers, gouges, anvils and some edged tools sharp enough, after having laid buried for ten centuries, to work with now. The city was laid out with great regularity. -.---.-------
