A CRITICAL TIME

Of Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH WIGHT
AND DAY.

The Packers of the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba Were All Heroes Their Heroic Eff
forts in Getting Ammunition and RAJ
tions to theFront Saved "a Day.
P. E. Butler of pack-train No. 8, writ
ing from Santiago de Cuba, Oh July %,
says: ''We all had diarrhoea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed
We had no time to see a doctor, for it
vas case of rush and rush night and
day to keep tie troops supplied with am
manitiOD and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health; in fact, l
sincerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect savior of
our army, for if the packers had been
unable to work there would have been
no way of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that wagon train
could use, My comrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in a supply of
this medicine for our pack-train before
we left Tampa, and know in four cases
it absolutely saved life.''

The Great Canals Of THE world.

The Suez canal is about 100 miles il
length and cost 81, 900, 600 per mile for it's
construction. The Corinth canal is 4 miles
in length and cost completed, with its APP
proaches 81, 200, 900 per mile The pro-
posed Nicaragua canal will cost per mile,
with its terminals and approaches, certain
ly not less and probably more than the
sum named. The canals of Suez and
Corinth are real maritime canals, built
without locks upon the sea level The one,
that of Corinth, is situated in the temper
ate zone, where the rainfall is 81 or 40
inches per annum. The other that of
Suez, is located in a region without rain.
Neither of these is threatened in its course
by streams liable to sudden and perilous
Hoods, so common in the tropical region of
Central America. These two great works
afford no real parallel to the Nicaragua
project, either as to cost or feasibility. The
one work parallel to this undertaking is
very near, very like it, both in place and
circumstances it is that of the Panama
canal across the isthmus Of Darien.-Hon.

LIVES In A HOUsEBOAT.
Queer abode of Man who Has Gone to
Dakota 10 Get a Divorce,


Under the shade of oak trees on the
bank of the Red river at the edge Of
Island paLk, in Fargo, North Dakota,
is anchored a small fiatboat, on which
lives Augustine Bonier, of WOonsocket
R. l., and his little grandson.
Bonier, sixty years old, came to
Fargo four months ago and had this
tlatboat built. The cabin was fitted
with miniature kitchen and dining
room and equipped with all articles
necessary for the comfort OF himself
and the little boy accompanying MN.
Since taking up his abode In the boat
the man has seldom put his feet on
terra firma. Curious passers-by day
after day failed to reach satisfactory
conclusion as to what the strange ola
mans mission might ho, ana the little
boy, who made daHy tIlps from the
host TO the city, had learned his lesson
we'll. De lad nothing to say.
The mystery was cleared up in the
dislrict court when Judge Pollock
called the divorce proceedings of Au-
gustine BOnier VS.. Amiranda Bonier,
and the strange old man of the boat
appeared as plaintiff. According to
the papers filed in the action, Bonier
was formerly a resident of Woonsocket
r. l., where his wife Amiranda still
resides. The hearing in court was on
an application of the defendant for
temporary alimOny and attorneys
fees, which was granted. The com
plant filed by Bonner Is very volumi-
nous and cites many instances of cruel>
ty, on which ground the decree is
asked.

The camel is beast of great strepgt

The camel is beast of great strength
and endurance. Nothing hurts it until
the prOverbial "last straw is added to
its burden. The human digestive sys-
tenn is very much like a camel. 1t is
really astonishing how much abuse it
will stand. Sometimes, however, some
thing worse than usual will be eaten
and will go through the stomach into
the bowels and there it will suck-thats
constipation. Nine tenths of all the
human sickness is due to constipation
Some of the simplest symptoms are
coated tongue and foul breath, dizziness,
heartburn, fatulence, sallowness, dis
tress after eating, headaches and lassi-
tude. A little thing will cause constipa-
ton and little thing will relieve il.
