A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a
very severe cold that caused him to be III a
most miserable condition. 1t was undoubtedly
a bad case Of LaGrippe, and recognizing it as
dangerous, he took immediate steps to bring
about a speedy cure. From the advertisements
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the
many good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the medi-
cine. To say that it was satisfactory in its re-
suits, is putting it very mildly, indeed. 1t
acted like magic, and the result was a speedy
and permanent cure. We have no hesitancy
in recommending this excellent Cough Rene

papaw bark knotted together and tied
to stumps. He asked his guide what it
meant and was informed that it was
"to bring luck.
"And does such foolish superstition
exist all over this community" asked
the minister.

Freezes Water In a Kite.

A Yankee farmer in Brazil who longed
for ice water has utilized kite for the
purpose Of obtaining ice. He fills tin
can with water and sends it to the
height of three miles, where it is prompt
ly frozen. After sufficient interval the
kite is rapidly hauled in and the cake of
ice secured. The inventor is so pleased
with his toy that it is said he now pro-
poses to send up kite $50 feet long by
a steel wire cable. Under the kite will
be suspended a pulley, over which runs
an endless chain bearing cans attached
to hooks. The cans will be filed with
water and the speed of the belt upon
which they will run will be regulated
SO that the topnost cans will be con
verified into ice sufficiently hard to with
stand the downward journey.

on the jealous regard for ceremony and
the proprieties of behavior as seen in the
enforcement of rules of politeness by
children. cites delightful instance
that fell under his own observation as
he was walking on Hampstead heath.
"It was spring day, and the fat buds
of the chestnut were bursting into mag
nificent green plumes. Two well dressed
misses, aged, I should say. about 8
and IL, were taking their correct morn
ing walk The elder called the attention
of the younger to one of the trees, point
ing to it. The younger exclaimed in a
highly shocked tone, ooh, Maud, you
know you shouldn't pointl The notion
of perpetratlng a rudeness on the chest

cident is instructive as illustrating the
childish tendency to stretch and gener-
alize rules to the utmost"

Wordsworth and Burns.

A friend writes us from England: We
visited the simple tomb of William
Wordsworth in Grasmere churchyard.
The old church stood near it, among
the ancient trees The rapid Rotha
passed the graves and the grand hills
lifted their green domes in the cloudless
sky.
We had ridden past the poet tuned
lakes of Windermere and Grasmere,
with memories of Coleridge, De Quin.
cey, Christopher North, Mrs. ITemans
and Harriet Martineau, and had rested
by Rydal Water in the shadows of Ry-
dial Mount.
Wordsworth, F" said one of our par
ty, calling to mind the author of the
Excursion, "seems to be the soul of
all these scenes. He made himself the
ever prevailing spirit Of the English
lakes.
Burns was his teacher" said anoth..
CT.
"How was that"' we asked.
There, under the grand trees lifting
their solemn tops to the sun, our friend
repeated single verse from Words
worth's poem on the death OF Burns:
movcned with thousands, but as one
Moro deeply grieved, for he was gone
Whose light hailed when first it Shone
And showed my youth
How verse may build a princely throne

The late DR.. Thomson, archbishop of
York, when he was bishop of Glouces-
ter, suffered from toothache, and by
medical advice resorted to narcotics to
relieve the pain. One morning, after
night of great suffering, as he left the
house to consult the doctor, Mrs. Thorn
son begged him not to allow the ply,
stefan to prescribe a narcotic. as it
affected his brain for several hours after
taking it. On his way the bishop met
the postman, who handed him large
official envelope. He opened it in the
street and read his appointment to the
see of York Instead of visiting the doc
tor he fastened back to communicate
the surprising news to his wife.
"Zoe Zoep' he exclaimed. "What

Omen Car Windows.

A correspondent writing Of open car
windows and the disagreeable draft
from the same suggests that screens
similar to those used in sleeping cars be
provided for coach windows, and that
only trainmen be allowed to place or re-
move them. A lady writing to the same
paper suggests original tactics by the
person annoyed:
"Simply raise your umbrella or para
sol in front of you, so that the wind,
cinders, dust and smoke blow from your
umbrella on the back Of the neck of the
person who sits by the window in front
of you. A very few minutes suffice to
convince this person that the wind is
blowing harder than he thought and
is very disagreeable and uncomfortable.
So down goes the window, and also the
umbrella, with quiet smile of graft
tude and content, with the result of self
protection New York Tribune.

Lessons For SchooIboys.

There is no question that our fore
fathers supposed that benefit might be
derived from causing schoolboys to be
spectators of the hanging of criminals.
Sir Walter Scott had borne testimony
to this custom being not unknown in
Scotland. In 'The Heart of Midlothian"
Mr.. Saddletree is represented as saying
Ipromised to ask a half play day to the
schulz, so that the BARNS might gang and see
the hanging, which Gamma but have a pleasing
effect on their young minds, seeing there is no
knowing what they may come to themselves.

FIRE AND AIR.
Their Intimate Relation Was Early Rec
ognized-Lord Baron's Belief

OSnlZeU-LOr0 BarOn'S Belief.
The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized, seeing
that experience soon taught that air was
necessary for fire. The experiment of
burning candle in closed vessel, now
so familiar to every schoolboy, is a very
old one, and the influence of blast Of
air on furnace had been probably no.
ticed from very remote period. By
some it was affirmed to be the food of
fire, while by others the same belief was
embodied in the phrase, "Air nourishes
fire.. !"
Again, it was long ago observed that
inter, a substance we'll known to the
chemical philosophers of the past, could
produce intense ignition. 1t was hence
inferred that, since inter possessed this
property, it necessarily followed that
the two substances resembled each other
in composition. According to Robert
Boyle. the air contained volatile nj
ter" while Lord Bacon held that air
contained volatile, crude and windy
spirit" and thunder and lightning were
supposed to be due to the presence Of
minute particles of this inter diffused
through air.
The important bearing of such obser-
vations is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which is one of the chief constitu-
ents of air and the one to which it owes
its power of supporting combustion,
also forms the largest elementary con-
stituent of inter and is likewise the
source of the power possessed by that
body of supporting combustion.
The action of heat on metals in caus-
ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Cardan.
philosopher who lived during the six
teenth century, in noticing the increase
in weight that lead undergoes when
heated in air, attributed it to the gas in
the air, which feeds flame and which
rekindles body presenting an ignited

A Sponge Statue.

Sponge is certainly one of the most
original and unlikely materials in the
world for statue; but, for all that, one
of Germany's great men is modelled in
this unpromising substance.
In the Friedrichsstrasse. Berlin, is
shop which contains statue in sponge
of Mr.. Withorst. He is represented life
size, seated in an armchair and holding
his notes for speech in his hand.
Every one acknowledges that the
likeness is an excellent one, and the
manner in which the statesman's frock
coat and gold spectacles are represented
is a subject for universal admiration.
