WHAT is the Use Of making a better
article than your competitor If you can
not get % better price for il
Ans As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smalleron single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can You get the public to know
your make j. the best;
If both articles are brought promi-
nenuy before the public both are certain
to be tried and The public will very
quick y pass judgment on them and use
only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return TO the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, aud for coughs,
colds and Group there il nothing equal
to Chambcrlain's Cough Remedy. For
sale by /. K Irwin.

RUM AND COCOANUT MILK.
A Combination Which Our Occupation OF
Cuba May Render Popular.

A Combination Which our Occupation VI
Cuba May Render Popular.
From the fact that it has not been
mentioned in the dispatches from the
front. I should Judge that our troops
on the south coast Of Cuba have not
yet besn introduced to Santiago rum,"
said a man who has frequently visited
Cuba. 1T is the cheapest and best
drink that l know OF in the tropics
and | shall be very much surprised II
it does not become popular after the
war. Santiago rum costs about third
as much as cheap whiskey and Is eX-
ceedingly smooth. The best drink
that | know of for warm climate Is
Santiago rum and fresh cocoanut milk.
never have been able TO get fresh
cocoanut milk here. and suppose tnat
those who do not go to a cocoanut
country can never know the Delights
Of this mixture The milk when fresh
is almost as colorless as water. and
when a little rum is added to the COM
bination 1t beats a gin rickey, even
though it may not bs cooled by ice.
You will find that all the small
passenger steamers which sail down
through the West Indies are well sup
piled with Santiago rum, but the de-
mand for ii is almost exclusively from
men who have become familiar with
it's merits by living in tropical cli-
mate. Whiskey and brandy, although
the latter is very popular drink all
through the tropics. are exceedingly
dangerous, and one is very much bet
ter off without them. AT one south
American port where | used to call
regularly the fayorite drink was yer-
mouth straight. A large proportion
Of the population was French. and
every afternoon the men and women
would drive out to the roadside cafes
and sip vermouth. II was served in a
tall thin glass which was half hlled
with Ice. The ice made II expensive"

The average man is bothered because
he hasn't money enough TO spend. but
Mr.. James f. Burns OF Cripple Creek.
Col. is embarrassei for the very oppo-
site reason. To tell the plain truth, il
keeps Mr.. Burns-Jimmie, they call
him out West-busy deyising ways TO
get rid Of his surplus revenue. He has
ever so much more money than he can
spend in any reasonable way. His in
come is about $4,000 a month. and
being a bachelor with modest wants.
il can be seen that he is actually suf-
fering with a plethora Of cash.
Mr.. Burns is an agreeable. pleasant
spoken man OF about As years, and is
President of the biggest gold mine in
the world, the Portland, OF which he Is
also chief owner. One month its out
put Of the yellow metal was $l2S,OO0, or
Just one-tenth Of the entire production

Il first formed my opinion Of a
camel some years ago. when l rode
across the Arabian deserts, and l see
no reason to alter it in any way. The
creature has so many talents and 50
many ways OF exhibiting them. And,
to begin with, It can kick harder, high
er, swifter and oftener than a mule,
and can use all four feet at one time
in a kicking match. Then 1t can bite
worse than a vicious horse, and buck
in way to make a bronclO blush with
absolute shame. No rider ever lived
who can stay on that perch, seven feet
from the ground, during a camels ex-
hibiton OF gymnastics. Then he can
run away when he feels like it, and is
often seized with a desire to slope.
Upon an occasion OF this kind his rider
experiences a sensation between being
blssn up with dynamite and strug-
Cling against the throes Of an earth
quake, until all his joints are dislo-
Gated, and he drops, limp, inert mass,
to the ground. Then this sweet crea-
ture has a way Of eyincing his dis
pleasure that is at least effectual and
convincing He twists his snake-like
neck into a circle and, poking his ugly
nose into the face of the rider, opens
his cavernous mouth and lets out
roar of disgust in such a fetid breath
that elevated human victim is fairly
blown into the middle Of the coming
month Ia week being too short a dis
tance)."

2 Smoking In COren.

In Corea all men and women smoke.
They begin early. The pipe is a brass
bowl. with a reed stem four feet long
and a brass, amber or glass mouth
piece. Accidents often occur from
persons falling with long pipe in the
mouth, the stem OF which is driven
down the throat, through the cheek, or
into the palate. During the reform
period" after the Japan-China war,
long pipes were forbidden to the COM
mon people, and they turned to cigar
cites. which have become rooted in the
popular affection. Native cigarettes,
which are OF poor quality, sell for one
cent gold for twenty. Little cigars
OF cigarette size sell for ii cents gold
per 100. American cigarettes are
used exclusively in the palace, and
thousands OF them are smoked there.
This makes them popular with the up
per classes, and the consumption OF
them is very great. The best OF them
cost one cent gold each The import
duty on cigars and cigarettes is 20 per
cent. ad valorem, but, in spite of this,
the American manufacturers are grad
ually coming into control Of the mar

DOORS MADE OF VENEER.
Hall Doors, Not Even the More Costly Arc
Made of stIId Wood.

The very finest Of doors are made
nowadays OF veneer on a body Of pine.
Even when made of mahogany or some
other costly wood, doors have to be
veneered The be cdy OF the door IL
made OF plain, straight-grained ma
hogany, while the surfaces are veneers
Of fine wood
In the finest doors the body is made
Of selected white Fine, free from sap
and perfectly seasoned, which is cut
into narrow strips and then glued to-
gether. The outer edges OF this door
are faced with what is called a veneer,
but which is really a strip Of the fine
wood half an inch or more in thick
ness. The inner edges Of the frame.
by the panels, are covered In the same
manner with thick strips, in which the
ornamental mouldlngs, or carvings,
are made, and which are grooyed to re-
ceiVe the panels.
This built-up frame Of white pine,
with edges OF the fine wood, is then
yeneered with the fine wood. In some
lighter doors the panels may be Of
solid mahogany, but in the finer larger
and heavier doors the panels also are
made Of sheets OF white pine with a
veneering OF the fine wood, so that the
entire door is veneered.
1t would be difficult, II not impos-
sible, to procure at any cost mahogany
lumber in fine and beautiful woods Of
sufficient size for the larger doors.
The built-up and veneered door Of pine
wood, however, has every appearance
of a solid door, and, made Of selected
veneers, it may be more beautiful than
a solid door would be. II Is more
serviceable and remains longer per-
feet. It's cost is about half what a
solid door would cost.
