4 Little Girls Experience In a Lighthouse

Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keepers
OF the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand Beach, Mich.
and are blessed with daughter, four years
old. Last winter she was taken down with
Measles, followed with dreadful Cough and
turning into Fever. Doctors at home and
at Detroit treated her, but in vain, she grew
worse rapidly, until she was a mere "hand.
full of bones. Then she tried DR.. Kings
New Discovery and after the use of two and
half bottles, was completely cured. They
say DR.. Kings New Discovery is worth its
weight in gold, yet you may get trial bottle
free at c. A. Kleim's Drugstore.

A Unique but Startling Cure for Laxi-

A Unique but Startling Cure for Lazi-
A traveller, in the course of morning
walk in Amsterdam, came upon group
gathered round a well, into which q
strongly built man had just been let
down. A pipe, whose mouth was at the
top OF the we'll, had been opened, and a
stream of water from it was flowing into
the well, and gradually filling it. The
man below had quite enough to do, il lie
did not want to be drowned, to keep the
water out by means of pump that was
at the bottom of the we'll
The traveller, plying the man, asked
for an explanation Of what seemed q
cruel, heartless joke.
"Sir," replied au old man standing
near, "that fellow is, as you see. healthy
and strong. have myself offered him
work twenty times, but he always allows
laziness to get the better Of him, and will
make any excuse to beg his bread from
door to door, though he might easily earn
it if lie chose.
"We are now trying to make him real
ize that he must work. II he uses the
strength that is in his arms, he will be
saved If he let's them hang idle. he will
be drowned. But look" continued the
old Dutchman, as lie went to the edge OF
the well, "the fellow finds out that he
has muscles already in an hour we shall
let him out with better resolutions for
the future"
The traveller watched until the man
was liberated from his watery prison,
and felt sure that at least a temporary
cure had been effected.-Youth's Com

The Parcels Pest.

Postmasters may do somethi ng-
perhaps, great deal to increase the
postal revenues, by calling the atten-
tion of the patrons Of their Offices to
the facilities offered by the Parcels
Post System, for sending miscellan-
eous merchandise, at comparatively
low rates, to a number of foreign
countries with which the United
States has frequent direct mail service,
and whose peoples are disposed to es-
tablish friendly trade relations with
this cou ntry.
Packages of merchandise may now
be sent by mail to Mexico, the Re-
public of Columbia, and British
Guiana, British Honduras, The Re-
public of Honduras, Salvador, and
Costa Rica, Jamaica, Barbados, The
Bahamas. The Leeward Islands (The
Virgin Group, Saint Christopher, New
is, Angulla, Antigua, Barbuda, Mont
serrat, Dominica; The Windwaid
Islands Grenada, Grenadines, Saint
Lucia, and Saint Vincent; The Dan
ish West Indies saint Thomas, Saint
Croix, and Saint John), The Hawaiian
Kingdom (the Sandwich Islands).
Each separate parcel must not
weigh more than eleven pounds; and
must not measure, if for Colombia,
Costa Rica and Mexico, more than
two feet in length by four in girth; if
for any of the other countries named,
more than three feet six inches in
length, nor more than six feet in
length and giith combined.
Parcels must be well wrapped, and
SO secured as to permit easy examina-
ton of the contents by postal and Gus
toms officials.
Postage must be FULLY PRE-
PAID on every parcel, at the rate of
twelve cents per pound, or fraction Ct
pound.
A fair exertion of enterprise on the
part of our manufacturers and merch-
ants, would soon develop trade worth
having, both for its extent and profits,
in many articles, by making full use of
the facilities afforded by this Parcels
Post Service. 1t is safe, speedy, and
the most available convenient means
for sending goods in the quantities al
lowed to the destinations named. In
of the use which has al
ready been made Of it, the fact is of
record, that last summer a St. Louis
establishment sent to Mexico the parts
Of complete buggy, to fill an order
from that country.-Postai Guide.

have no use for the Irish American
except on voting day. In general
way free trade papers give perfume
tory support to Irish nationallsm
abroad, but to make them intensely
irritated il is only necessary for an
Irish American to be named for
some Office Of d unity and honor.
This is shown not in the case alone
of Minister E.slu. In Massachu-
sets the free trade vote that has
twice elected Russell has twice re-
iected an Irish-American candidate
for Lieutenant-Goyernor ON the
same ticket, of far more personal
worth than Russell.
Egan's only oifense is that he is
an sh-American and so bitterly
does the average Democratic news
paper dislike him for this, that the
average Democratic editor cannot
understand why Chill did not at
once reject Egan when he was sent
there. A leading Democratic organ
recently remarked that cit may be
safely assumed that the people who
good naturally waived their object
ions to Egan and who continue to
tolerate him, will doubtless be will
ing to rect the United States hall
way in the Baltimore difficulty"
This organ probably did not know
that one oil the founders of CHILEAN
independence was an Irishman, the
brave O'Higgins and that another
1rishman, Devereux, earned the
lame of the Lafayette of South
America. As a matter of fact there
is no prejudice against the Irish III
South America, and the only objec
ton to Egan was of English inspira
ton. There is a prejudice agains
