Christmas Secrets.
You mustn't look in corners,
And you mustn't hear q sound, "a.
Because flock of secrets
Is flying all around.
They'll perch upon the Christmas trees
When weary of their flight,
Or they'll build their nests in STOCKINGS
In the middle OF the night
But catch them Christmas morning.

In every one sweet surprise
To his loving little friends.

JAY GOULD.

After all Jay Gould died Of con-
sumption. The doctors said he had
neuralgia and Jay offered million
of dollars to any one who would
cure him of his trouble. 1t turned
out that he did not have neuralgia
at all, but simply consumption.
Don't you make this same mistake.
If you feel that your lungs are weak
or that you are subject to colds and
coughs, or if your throat be sore
and tender, get a bottle of Reds

and take it freely. 1t contains no
poison and it is the only cough
remedy on the market that minis

Reciprocity with spain appears to
work we'll so far as the sale of flour is
concerned. The treaty took effect on the
first day of January last. For the three
months ending March 3lst. the receipts
of American flour at Havana amounted
to l0l ,060 bags. This was $4,000 bags
more than for the same three months of
last year. This point for reciprocity is
made more significant by the fact the
Spanish flour sent to Havana in the
same months amounted to but $50 bags
while for the same period last year ii
was S5,314 bags. This comes from the
consular report and is a valuable straw
as to the benefits of the business ALI
ances the Harrison administration has
been forming.
