They Give their Reasons.

Perhaps some of our readers would
like 20 know in what respect Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better than
any other. We viii tell you. When
this Remedy is taken as soon as cold
has been contracted and before it has
become stttIed in the system, it will
counteract the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen its severity. and it is the
only remedy that will do this. 1t acts
in perfect harmony vi b nature and
ads nature in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions, Hquefying the
mucus and causing its expulsion from
the air cells OF the lungs and restoring
the system to strong al d healthy con-
dition. No other remedy in the mar
ket possesses these remarkable proper
ties. No other will cure cold so
quickly. Fer sale BY j. T. Bennett,

ton. He called them to him and
coaxed them TO snuggle down by his
side, as their mother would have done.
When they were allowed to ran about
he watched them and taught them
where they might 60 ami where they
might not GO, running after any wild
youngster who strayed behind screens
or meddied with what he ought not to
touch.
Only one of the seven orphans turned
ont a genius, but all of them became
respectable rats and great credit to
Solomon
The genius of the family one day
came upon guitar lying on the sofa,
and running up to it, made the strings
sound The music pleased him SO much
that after his discovery he frequently
went in search Of the instrument and
scampered back and forth over the
strings to his own great delight and to
to the amusement of all who saw him.

An Account of a scotch CoIIie's Voyage

Bruce was Scotch collie His
master was coming to live in America,
and being attached to the dogA he de-
cided to bring him to this country.
The first morning that Bruce was in
his new home, the servant heard a
scratching at her door, and on opening
it the dog ran in, leaped upon her bed,
crawled under the bedelothes, and laid
his head upon the pillow
But l started To tell you of Bruce's

poor dog was bewildered az first. and
then frightened. When he found that
his master had deserted him, as he sup

The sailors, growing tired of the
noise, threatened TO beat him If he did

But that was against the rules He
cried all night, and the sailors and

In the morning the captain ordered
Bruce TO be loosed, and called to him
to come up on the saloondecl1. Bruce

A Wonderful Conqueror

No disease is more common among
the people than scrofula. Handed
down from generation to generation. it
is found in nearly every home, in some
form. 1t nav make its appearance IN
dreadful running sores, in swellings in
the neck or goitre, or in eruptions OF
varied forms. Attacking the mucous
membrane it may be known as ca
tqrrh or developing in the lungs it may
be, and often is, the prime cause OF
consumption.
10 whatever form serofula may man
ifest itself. Hood's Sarsaparilla is its
inveterats foe and conqueror. This
medicine has such powerful Alternative
and vitalizing effects upon the blood
that every trace of impurity is ex-
PEELED and the blood made rich. pure
and healthy.

LIKED THE GUITAR.
A White Rat who Was Very Wise and
Fond of Music.


A White Rat Who Was Very Wise and
Fond of Music.
Solomon was large white rat, who
lived in an artists studio in New York.
He received his name because of his
wisdom and his solemn face.
His companion was known as jun
per, and never did anything remark
able except jumping. Bat Solomon
was always doing wonderful things.
Solomon's mistress declared that mis-
whiskers were longer, more delicate
and whittier than those Of any other rat
that ever lived, brA mistresses are apt
to say such things of their favorites.
Other people saw nothing wonderful
about Solomon, 50 far as his appear
ance was concerned.
Solomon was as trustworthy as a
dog. He refrained from nibbling the
curtains and rich stuRs that were scat
tered about the studio, and was most
particular not TO take cheese or rich
cake up on the sofa, where he was al
lowed to play and sleep when his paws
were clean. Jumper had TO be given
away because of his nibbling propensi-
ties.
Now, It so happened that friend Of
Solomon's mistress had some rats,
father and mother and seven children.
One night stray cat found her way
to their cage and ate up the old rats.
Perhaps she satisfied her appetite with
them, or maybe she thought she would
leave the little ones till they were big
ger and their bones would be better
worth picking. At any rate, the seven
poor little things were left orphans.
Their master found him in the morn
ing, squealing and trembling, and was
sorely puzzled what 10 do with them.
The scrub woman suggested that they
should be drowned, but the artist sud-
denly remembered his friend, the pref
ty black-eyed young lady who owned
solomon, so he appealed TO her.
Solomon's mistress agreed to adopt
them, and the cage was taken into her
rooms.
Solomon stared and then went eau
tiously up TO the newcomers. He soon
showed signs of JOY at their arrival,
and, TO the astonishment of those who
watched him, thinking that in spite of
his former goodness he might be a can
nibal at heart and would take advan-
tage OF the occasion, he Immediately
