Coughing Leads to Consumption.
Kemp's Balsam will stop the cough at once

Sir. John Herschell said: "Of all the
amusements that can possibly be i'm
agined for working man, after daily
toll, or in the intervals, there is moth
ing like reading a newspaper or a
book. It calls for no bodily exertion,
of which already he has had enough,
perhaps too much. 1t relieves his
home of all dizziness and sadness. Nay,
it accompanies him to his next days
work, and gives him something to
think of besides the mechanical druid
gerry of his every day occupation;
something he can enjoy while absent,
and look forward with much pleasure.
If were to pray for a taste which
would stand by me under every varie-
ty of circumstances, and be a source
of happiness and cheerfulness to me
through life, and a shield against all
it's ills, however things may go amiss,
and the world frown upon me, it
would be a taste for reading"

A writer tells in the Boston Gazette
of lady who was travelling from
Providence to Boston with her weak
minded father. Before they arrived
there, he became possessed of fancy
that he must get off the train while it
was still in motion, that some abso-
lutte duty called him. His daughter
endeavored to quiet him, but it was
difficult to do it; and she was just
giving up in despair, when she no
ticed very large man watching the
proceedings intently over the top of
his newspaper. AS soon as he caught
her eyes, he rose and crossed quickly
to her.
IT beg your pardon" he said. "You
are in trouble. May / help your"
She explained the situation to him.
"What is your fathers name" he
asked.
She told him; and, with an encour-
aging smile, he bent over the gentle
man who was sitting in front of her,
and said a few words in his ear. With
a smile the gentleman arose, crossed
the aisle, and took the vacant seat;
and the next moment the large man
had turned over the seat, and, lean
ing toward the troubled old man, had
addressed him by name, shaken hands
cordially, and engaged him in a con-
versation so interesting and so clev-
erly arranged to keep his mind occu-
pied that he forgot his need to leave
the train, and did not think of it again
until they were in Boston. Here the
stranger put the lady and her charge
into carriage, received her assur-
ance that she felt perfectly safe, had
cordially shaken her hand, and was
about to close the carriage door, when
she remembered that she had not
even asked his name. Hastily put
ting her hand against the door, she
said: pardon me; but you have rem
dered me such a service, may not
know whom am thanking?"
The big man smiled as he answered,
''Phillips Brooks" and turned away.

A Correction.

In a recent article we spoke of Mr.. Glen,
denning, of Long Island, as familiarly
known as the King of Long Island.'' Mr.
Glendenning desires to say that such title
is wholly new to him, and that he does not
approve of it. Although sometimes known
as the mayor of Long Island,' he does not
think that because a man is leader in an
American community he should be given
the title of king which belongs across
the-ocean, and is not at all CONSTANT will
American institutions. Mr.. Glendennine
prefer to be called simply an American
citizen, and we take pleasure in making this
correction.

Maine County commissioners.

A convention of the county commits
sioners of the State of Maine will be held
in the court house at Augusta Jan. 23.
The object in calling the commissioners
together is understood to be for the pur-
pose of discussing several important mat
tiers which regularly come before the
different boards each year and which are
treated in various ways. 1t is proposed
to formulate regular system of work
by the boards, to exchange ideas and
try to overcome the lack of uniformity
that now exists throughout the State.
1t is more than probable that the legis-
lature will be asked TO amend the laws
regarding the county commissioner S
duty in locating roads, as at the present
time different boards place different con-
structions on such laws. The question
of the commissioners alaries will be
submitted to the legislature also, and
that body asked to make the salaries
uniform.

1t has been shown by reliable
statistics that the cotton crop OF
1894 is about 100000 bales more
than all the factories in the world
can consume IN year. That the
American crop alone is enough to
support the worlds spindles and
this leaves out of the calculation the
larger surplus carried over from the
year before. There will be a still
larger surplus to be carried over to
be added to tie crop of 1895, and if
this crop is equal to that of 1894,
what will that immense surplus
mean if not an over-production? 1t
is no argument to discuss what the
world needs. The demand is what
the world buys-any supply above
that amount is over production.

A too liberal law regarding cleo
ton contests is already being ex-
perience6 by congress. From the
large patches Of testimony already
received by the clerk Of the house
of representatives, it is estimated
that the printing of all the docu-
ments relating to the contests the
next house will be called upon to
decide, will cost the government
100000. The last house also es.
tablished a dangerous precedent by
allowing three OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Settle, Childs and Williams-S4,500
each for expenses, instead of ST.
900 usually allowed. 1t is now ex-
tremely probable that every con-
testant whose case is examined into
by the elections committee of the
next house, will endeavor to obtain
similar amount. The feeling is
growing with both democrats and
republicans that something will
have to be done to stop senseless
and useless contests, and the propo.
siticn has already been made to pa,
the expenses only of the man emit
tied to the disputed seat. This will
leave DIR. FELTON, out in the cold.
