During the winter of 1898, F. NJ. Mar
tin Of Long Reach, West Va, contracted
a sever cold which left him with a
cough. In speaking of how he cured it
he says: 81 used several kinds of
cough syrup, but found no relief until
I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which relieved me al
most instantly, and in a short time
brought about a complete cure" When
troubled with a cough or cold use this
remedy and you will not find it neces-
sary to try several kinds before you get
relief. 1t has been in the market for
over twenty years, and constantly
grown in favor and popularity. For

The Value
OF Good
Eye Sight.

Some things areright in my
line, and the optical business
| is one of them.
This department is one to
which | devote most of my
time, giving the greatest
amount of care and attention
to each Individual case. Eyes
are tested in a scientific
manner.
The latest appliances are
used, which make the test
less trying to the patient,
and we guarantee absolutely
perfect results in every case.
The value of a correct and
comfortably fitting glass can
not be over estimated in such
cases where the trouble is
directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant
objects well, yet are con-
stantly troubled with per-
haps headaches, "a burning
sensation in the eyes, or oc-
casional blurring of the print
when reading, yet are reluc-
tant to attribute it to an
actual defect of vision.
Being able to discern dis
tant objects, IS by no means
a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.
Extreme far sight is as
great a defect as near sight.
and requires the same treat
ment.
Glasses are the only relief,
and these should be of the
right kind.
1t is ourbusineSS to supply
you with only these.

AFRICA AND THE DUTCH STOCK.
"hen That Great Territory Is Finally
Under English Rule.

From the Spectator.
The Dutch stock is, we know, sturdy and
enduring-so sturdy and so enduring that
to this hour the descendants of the Dutch
who settled In New York are conscious
of shade of difference between them and
New Englanders, and regard that differ
ence with certain selfresteem. They are.
they think, not only moreosolid, but better
principled than the families around them.
Nevertheless, the extraordinary. to us, we
will frankly confess, unacccuntable, alb
sorbng force Of the English has given
them the controlling power in New York,
as in all America north of Mexico, and in
spite OF the vastness of modern emigra-
lions, that power will probably always re-
main in their hands =
new type of man arises, distinctly
American, but it is as vain to say that he
IS not in all essentials English as to say
that the Saxon at home has not prevailed
over every other element in the population.
we expect to see the process repeated in
South Africa, but we3fcan see no reason
why 1t should not be peaceful, or why,
when the united Dominion is formed, as 1t
will be formed, the different states should
all enter 1t on exactly the same conditions.
Scotland does not live under our laws, nor
In Germany have Bavaria and Wurtemberg

CHALK MARKS ON THE UNMARRIED
An Old Custom and Some Phases of Its
Modern Observance.

From the London Globe.
The old custom of chalking the youths
and maidens who remain unmarried after
Shrovetide is generally known in the south
of Ireland. In Irish agricultural districts
the time for weddings is limited to the in
terval between Christmas and Ash We'd
mes day, the first day Of Lent Shrovetide
eEds with the gayeties of carnival, which,
in this country, brings with 1t none of the
wild excitement often witnessed on the
continent. Lent then comes on, and there
is temporary cessation of all frolics;
hut on the first Sunday of Lent the light
hearted have fresh opportunity for fun.
All the children arm themselves with
pieces of chalk. with sticks chalked at
the end; this latter is device of the more
wary, to keep them beyond the reach of
those passers-by whose tempers are easily
ruffied. Sometimes, in a cottage doorway,
a group of little urchins may be seen in
dustriously covering each finger, and even
the whole front of the hand, with thick
coating of chalk; then they wait patiently
for favorable opportunity to imprint the
marks on a nicely brushed black coat, or
better still, lady's seaiskin jacket.
In the country all this goes on when the
PEOPLE are going to or from church; but it
Is carried on to a much greater extent in
towns. There, toward evening, the REIN
forcements to the chalking army are so
strong that few can go many yards with
out some chalk marks In the excitement
gotten; or, perhaps, like Morgiana In the
Forty Thieves" those who have been
judiciously marked try to turn attention
frcri themselves by chalking all indiscrim-
irately. When the night is fine the flag
ways are white with powdered chalk, and
remind one by their appearance Of the
continental custom of throwing comfits dur
ing the carnival.

SUCH CURES have never Been KNOWN,
they Attest the Great Masters Personal Presence
the Infinite Superiority of the Mccoy System of Medicine

"Such cures as these cures have
never been known before" All over
Washington this is said, and as the
vast volume of the wonderful testi-
mony increases, voices drowning
other voices, witnesses supplanting
witnesses, proof piling upon proof,
until individual instances, however
remarkable, are lost sight olive hear
it no longer insinuated that the ia
nous physician is not in Washing
ton himself, or that the work is be-
ing done under his name by students
and assistants. Even doctors rec
ognize in these results cures that
they know are possible only by the
personal skill of the Great Master,
famous long ago on both sides of the
Atlantic, and are sending to him pa
tients that they know no other skill
can cure. No other answer is need
ed for those who denied that Doctor
Mccoy himself was here than this.
Deaf people testify that he restored
their hearing, many people without
power of speech that he gave
them voice, and many hopelessly
sick that as the result of his skill
they are in perfect health. There can
be no installing in such results the
handiwork of the Master from whom
has been directly derived all that is
useful, all that is practical, all that is
valuable to humanity in what is
known as modern special practice.

years, as the skill Of Doctor McCoy's early practice
should be borne In mind The old treatment for
catarrh that originated with Doctor Mccoy and
has been advertised largely by young men who
were formerly in his employ applied by the
use Of medicated sprays. That this method cured
a great many people goes without saying: but
experience taught Doctor Mccoy that the method
of application was wrong in many instances, the
sprays sometimes drove the catarrh into the ear.
causing inflammation and sometimes deafness. and
that the sprays used by some doctors contained
irritating solutions which infianed the nose and
throat and drove the catarIh deep down into the
bronchial tubes and lungs.
