About one month ago my child,
which is Is months old, had an attack
ofdiarrhea accompanied by vomiting.
l gave it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for physician and it
was under his care for week. At this
time the child had been sick for about
ten days, and we were convinced that
unless it soon obtained relief it would
not live. Chamberlain's Collie, Chol
era and Diarrhea Remedy was recon-
mended, and l decided to try it. l
soon noticed change for the better;
by its continued use complete cure
was brought about and it is now per-
fectly healthy.-C. L. BoGGs, Sump-
ton, Gilmer county, W. Va. For sale

SAN FRANCIsCO's 100.

There is pretty little society row in
San Frsucisco. Mrs. Monroe Salisbury,
who sspires to be q society leader. has
snubbed some Of the buds and their ma
mas are on the war path. In an inter
view in the Post it trsnspires that the
reason one Of the young ladies was not
invited to function engineered by Mrs.
Salisbury was owing to the fact that she
attempted to borrow 5000 from the
young lsdy's father and was refused.
According to the account in the Post,
Mrs. Salisbury has gone broke trying 10
run society functions on 9 shoe string
and will have to borrow some money
somewhere or retire. Her plan seems to
have been to promote the social for
tunes Of young people who were anxious
to shine in the social whirl and then bor'
row enough money Of their psppss to en-
able her to shine little herself. In this
instance, however, the old gentleman
declined to be worked.-Csrson Appeal.

GREAT MINES.

The most extensive mines in the
world are those at Freybnrg, Saxony.
They were begun in the twelfth CEN
tury and in 1886, the galleries, taken
collectively, had reached the unpre-
cedented length Of 123 miles. A new
gallery, begun in 1888, had reached a
length of eight miles at the time of the
census in 1873.
The deepest perpendicular mining
shaft in the world is located at Prizil-
ram, Bohemia. Ii is a lead mine and
was begun in 1882. In January, 1880,
it was ,2S0 feet deep.
The deepest coal mine in the world
is near Tourney, Belgium; it is 3,542
feet deep, but unlike the lead mine
above mentioned, 1t is not perpendic-
ular.
The deepest rock salt bore in the
world is near Berlin, Prussia; it is
4,1S5 feet deep.
The deepest hole ever bored into the
earth is the artesian well at Pottsdam,
which is $500 feet deep.
The deepest coal mines in England
are the Dunkirk collieries of Lanca-
shire, which are 2 1924 feet deep.
The deepest coal shaft in the United
States is located at Pottsville, Pa. In
1885 it had reached depth OF 1886
feet. From this great dept 400 cars,
holding four tons each, are hoisted
daily.
The deepest silver mine in the
United States is the Yellow Jacket,
one of the great Comstock system at
Virginia City, New. The lower levels
are 2,700 feet below the hoisting
works.-Ex.
