CURING A SO,.- THROAT.
A Remedy That Acted Promptly and Was

SlDSulafiy SUCCESSFUL
A good story is told in Stageland of
Berlin prima donna who lived in the
timc Of Frederick the Great Whenever
anything Or anybody displeased her, she
had habit of suddenly becoming too
hoarse to sing. One day an opera i'll her
repertory was to be performed, and the
king was expected to be present.
At the appointed hour the manager came
forward and announced that, owing to a
sore throat, Mile. So-and-so was unable to
appear. The people were preparing to
leave the house, but the king rose and
commanded them to keep their seats
few moments afterward an officer and
four dragons entered the capricious lady's
room.
'Madeinoiselle, said the officer, ''the

diamond Grated Roofs.

Everybody has remarked that the mat
ter applied to boots and shoes-viz, black
ing-is dull, blue black substance en-
tirely devoid of gloss, hut when the leath-
er thus coated is rubbed over with dry
brush the boot begins to shine like q
bright luminary. What is the cause OF
this strange phenomenon is a question
which naturally presents itself to every
well regulated mind. The diamond, as
everybody knows and as recent expert
ments have abundantly proved, is nothing
more or less than crystallized carbon. The
chiof element in backing is likewise car
bon, in the shape of lampblack. The frio-
ton of the dry brush on the leather pro-
duces electricity, which has the property
OF crystallizing carbon. The leather, coat
ed with backing and brushed, is covered
with millions of microscopical diamonds,
which give to the blacking its peculiar
brilliancy. Accordingly everybody wears
diamonds on his boots.-lmparcial.

THE COW QUESTION.

Garden Fence.

It Is Discussed From Both Sides of the
Garden Fence.
We have received communication on
the subject OF the town COW, and though
it is we'll written and properly signed we
do not like to give it space, and for several
reasons. The COW question has done more
to e1nbitter life, separate families and de-
etroy the peace and quietness of entire
communities than all others. Like other
questions, there are two Sides to the COW
argument-the cows side and the other
side. These who own cows are on the
cows side; those who don t own COWS and
do own gardens and shrubbery are on the
other side and there to stay.
Still we never could see why the COW SO
craycd diet of choice roses and valuable
shrubbery. Her butter or milk always
goes at the same price. Columbia river
water is better than all the roses to en-
hance the value of her yield Why
shouldn't she run at large if she wants to?
Some people neglect their plants and
bushes, and the COW trims them up. She
also reminds the man of the house that he
has left the front gate open and does it
delicately, because she always wakes the
nuns wife up first, or the hired girl,
and she tells him, and he gets up and
exhibits his pajamas to the neighbors by
the light OF the silver moon; also his tenn
per, and the latter can best be seen on
dark night.-Dallas Chronicle.

At pleasant home in Covington one
evening happy company were gathered.
The host and hostess had just returned
from q trip to Machinac and the young
vito was relating to her guests some of

srwas In q Crowd, and the Place Was tho
Eccley Institute.
There have been many strange expe-
riences como through by the worshipers of
the Kelley institute in Dwight, Ills, more
go perhaps three or four years ago than
at present, when there ara so many
lsss.nches established in different states
Ono of these experiences happened Some
three years ago.
There wis a brainy, brilliant crowd of
literary, fashionable, thespi;;n and legal
lights there who had all gathered to secure
respite from the cravings for liquor,
opium, morphine and other habits.
Among then. WIGS an old codger dressed in
heavy, dust covered cowhide boots, with
hickory shirt and butternut overalls, who
kept apart from the rest of the throng and
seemed to feel somewhat out of place in
the gay and better dressed crowd.
One evening q delegation of about 700
all told, Including perhaps $50 ladies,
went down tothe depot to see the jag
train come in with the new arrivals On
board One of the first to leave the cars
WIS d handsome fellow of perhaps 85, who
was carrying all he could navigate I'M
der, and who was feeling decidedly happy.
Catching sight of the sedate old unknown,
/, who had accompanied the crowd to the
depot, he said to his companion, who was
trying to keep him within bounds:
''Lemme go, lemme so, tell you!
There's man want to see.
Then he ambied toward the hickory
shirt and extended his hand with mock
dignity, saying:
"How'sh yer honor9 I'm glad to see
yer"
By this time the bystanders had caught
on that something was going on and be-
gan crowding around the maudlin new
conner and the sedate old gentleman.
Turning round to the crowd, who were
eagerly looking on, the tipsy candidate
said:
''P'raps you folks don't know it, but

and, by Jove, I'm the attorney general. -

Railroad Speed,

In high speeds the United States seems
just now to hold the worlds records.
Neither England nor any other country in
the world has any trains as fast, for the
distance, as the Empire State express,
which runs $40 miles at 507 miles an
hour including four stops, Or as fast for
the distance as the defunct exposition
fier of last summer, which ran 1854 miles
at 49, miles an hour, including nine stops.
Among the very fast special runs we
find the following pretty authentic records
of performances in the United States,
which, so far as I know, have not been
equaled in England since run made on
the Great Western, in 1S4S, of So miles at
6s miles an hour, and that was not up to
the best of those given here: September,
1891, on the New York Central, New
York to East Buffalo, 1876 miles, at 500
miles an hour, including three stops; 1899,

72.7 miles an hour, no stops; Pennsylvania
