ERs IN BIRMI> CHAM.

If there was doubt in the mind of any
sufferer from asthma in tn city as to
the truth of the claims made for DR..
Schiffmann's Asthma Cure, that doubt no
longer remains providing he was among
those who called at Nabers Morrow &
S'nnige's drug store last Tuesday and OBJ
tanned a free sample package. A great
number who have already tried the same
declare in positive terms that relief was
immediate; that the wretched spasms were
checked that free expectoration was in
duced that reclining position was readily
assumed and gratefully maintained; that
the sleep which followed was restful and
unbroken, and that the morning brought a
clear head and a feeling of delighted thank
fulness which no words are too strong to
descr be.
Abundant voluntary testimonials prove
that DR.. Schffmann's Asthma Cure not
only gives instant relief in the worst cases.
but has positively cured thousands who
were considered incurable. The remedy is
now sold by all druggists in packages at
soc and 81, thus br nglng it within the reach
of all. Should any reader be unable to OBJ
tain It of his druggist. it will be sent. post

A Queer Lottery.

Men do not acquire their better
halves nowadays in civilized nations as
the result OF the tossing mp OF a coin
OF the cast of die. nor are English
men in the habit OF taking their
spouses with a halter round their neck
to Smithfield. and there sell them by
public auction to the highest bidder.
Russia, however. seems to form an
exception, II we are to believe an ad-
vertisement relative to a lottery for
which tickets can be bought for about
a rouble each In the town Of Smolensk.
There Is only one prize to be drawn,
and IL consists OF the entire sum yield
ed by the sale OF the tickets, amount
ing to 5000 roubles. together with a
lady described as OF noble blood The
tickets are sold only to males. and the
lucky drawer OF the prize will have 70
marry TIE damsel IL he takes the 5.00e
roubles. IL, however. he be already
married, he is at liberty to turn over
the money and the lady to any friend
whom he may wish to put in for such
a good thing. II the winner should be
willing to marry, but Is not found &c
the damsel's taste. then they are to bC

mitted to divide the roubles.
We surmise that. unless the prize
winner should happen TO be an eligible
young bachelor. the spinster will pre-
fer the last method OF settlement, thi

as being not only no longer young. brl

The Rose. Thistie and shamrock

The adoption OF the rose as a ma
tional flower dates so far back that old
Pliny wondered II Albion took its
name from its white cliffs or from its
pretty white roses.
In Edward the Thirds reign q gold
coin was struck called rose noble"
bearing a rose on one of its sides, and
from that time the flower has been in
timately associated with the nation.
The Rosicrucians of the 18th CEN
tury. popularly styled the brothers OF
the rosy cross" brought the rose into
great prominence.
The wars of the roses has reference
to the long and bloody feuds between
the houses OF York and Lancaster for
the possession OF the English crown
the white rose being the badge OF the
former, and the red rose that Of the
latter.
Regarding the thistle, tradition says
that II along with its motto. 'Wha
daur meddle wi me-" was first adopted
as a symbol under the following cir
cuSnstances.
A party OF invading Danes attempted
to surprise and capture the Scotch
army under the cloud Of night As
they drew near the slumbering camp,

cry OF pain. His cry aroused the
| Scotchmen, who few to arms and fell
upon the invauers with sucn courage
and success that they were driven from

From that day the thistle was worn
as badge, and ultimately became the
emblem Of Scotland.
The trefoil or three-leafed clover

AMATEUR TAxTDERMY.
How Women Can Devote
Their Time to a Pleas
enf Task,

Now that feathers and wings are
used to such an extent for the decor
alton of hats and bonnets, and as these
articles are quite expensive. IL would
be a great boon to many women to
prepare their own wings, which can be
easily done with the exercise of little
skill. The outfit necessary for the
handling OF wings, tails and parts Of
the skins of birds is very simple. A
rather sharp ordinary pocket-knife, a
little arsenic. as sold by druggists;
some cotton batting; a piece OF silk
or muslin and q strong needle and
thread. When using arsenic care
must be taken that there are no cuts
or hangnails on the hand. and that
it is out of reach of the children.
Quite number OF our common birds
have exquisite coloring in their plum
age. The blue tint can be found in
the indigo finch, the blue jay, the
blue bird, and the blue-winged
teal. Then there are birds with
the green and purple coloring,
which are quite rare, however,
the black bird being the most common.
Then we have the white wings OF the
domestic poultry and pigeons, num-
Der OF the latter having a blue garb
which is often used. The goldfnch,
the yellow warbler and meadow lark
furnish us with yellow. The plumage
| of water fowl stand the weather much
better than those OF the land.
To prepare the wings and tail of a
pigeon for further use it is necessary
| to chop off the wings close to the body,
and cut OF the tail. taking with it the
candle-vertebrae. After spreading out
d wing it will be seap that a few
small feathers are directly over the
muscle. These should be plucked out
above the muscle, and then with q
sharp knife the skin should be cut
| from the end OF the muscles to where
the wing was chopped of. Cut out
as much flesh as possible, taking care
not to injure the other side of the
wing. Then put the arsenic into ev.
cry corner under the skin until the ex
posed surface Is completely covered
