prietors of DR.. Kings New Discovery

have given away over ten million trial
bottles of this great medicine; and
have tho satisfaction of knowing it
has absolutely cured thousands of
hopeless cases. Asthma, bronchitis,
hoarseness, and all diseases of the

At present their capture is no more
than accidental. Porpoises arc known to
venture into salmon estuaries during

sweet potatoes exhibited" he says, II
saw that tho size Of the specimens was
nothing to brag of, and l sent out to a

Some Extraordinary Mothers.


Probably the youngest grandmother
Of whom we have record was q Lady
Child Of Shropshire, England. She had
married at 10 years Of age and had a
child before her thirteenth year was
completed. This child in turn married
while still very young, with the result
that Lady Child was a grandmother at
~. The most extraordinary cases Of
motherhood were those of Mrs. Honey
wood Of Charing, in Kent, and Lady
Temple Of Stow. When the former died,
on May 10, 1920, aged 90, she counted
az her descendants 10 children, ia
grandchildren, 22S reat-grandchildren
and 8 Observation-Disclosures. The
other case vas wen more remarkable.
Lady Temple. who died il 1866, had
give birth to 4 sons and 8 daughters
and lived to see more than 700 descend

Fire and Water.

Water will extinguish a fire because
the water forms a coating over the fuel,
which keeps it from the air, and the
conversion of water into steam draws
of tho heat from the burning fuel. A
little water makes a fire %fie1cer, while
q large quantity of water puts 1t out.
The explanation is that water is COM
posed of oxygen and hydrogen. When
therefore tho fire can decompose the
water into its simple elements, it serves
fuel to the flame.

In two years I have sold more of this

they have received from it, and know
its value from the use of it in my own

Maiden Speeches..

Sheridan. n of the greatest of Brit
ish orators and who entered parliament
after a conspicuously successful literary
career, so nearly broke down in his
maiden effort that the general verdict
pronounced upon him was that mature
never intended him for an orator."
Brougham and Canning were equally
unsuccessful, and many Of the most
celebrated speakers Of the present day
displayed no signs of oratory when they
appeared for the first time before the
critical assembly at st. Stephens.
Mr.. Gladstone's maiden speech, de-
livered Feb. FL, 1888, was a nervous,

rhe ariiitary M..on..

Frank J. Thompson has received .
letter from Lieut.. Col. Treumann at
Manila, who is worshipful master of
the military lodge at that city, author
lied by the Grand Lodge A. F. & A. NJ.
of this state. The following is part of
the letter, and doubtless, will be read
with interest by all Masons:
Headquarters, First Infantry. North
Dakota Volunteers, Manila, P. L.,
October 5th, 1893.
Frank j. Thompson, Esq, Grand Sec
rotary, Fargo, N. D.-Dear Sir and
Brother: Our military lodge is now
in condition for an active campaign.
Following are the officers elected and
appointed, viz: Lieut.. Col. w. G.
Treumann, W. NJ; Major Frank White,
s. W.; Major j. II. Frame, j. w; Capt.
w. r. Pardon, treasurer; Lieut.. H, G.
Proctor secretary; Lieut.. c. w. Getch-
ell, Sr. D.; Lieut. f. G. Gearey, ST.. d.;
Sgt. Major G. Cairncross, tyler, and
Capt. A. W. Cogswell and Lieut.. w. j.
Mclean, stewards.
The most serious problem that we
had to contend with was to secure q
home for the brethren. We held our
meetings heretofore at regimental
headquarters, which we're necessarily
crowded quarters. A hall suitable for a
lodge room could not be found in all
Manila, so u committee finally
rented q residence, and by taking out
some Of the partitions obtained a very
good hall 3Ox6O feet, with the neces-
sary ante rooms The building is To-
Gated on Gale Nueva, No. SO, in the
suburb of Malate within one block of
the street car line, and can be easily
reached from any portion of the city.
We held our first meeting in our un-
finished sanctum sanctorum Sunday
evening and conferred the E. A. on
two candidates from our regiment. A
number of visitors from South Dakota,
Texas, and California were present.
Our committee had overlooked Sc
curing a ballot box, and the fact was
not discovered until it was almost
time to open the lodge. Major White
soon prepared one from q cigar box
with the aid of a jack knife, and while
its several parts did not fit with that
exact nicely to which we arc accus-
toned, still it was in keeping with the
ballots used. Some one suggested
beans as a good substitute, but 1 found
that we had eaten the last of our sup-
ply for dinner. I brought in a hand
full of hard bread. tho modern substi-
tude for hard tack, and by dropping a
few of them into the ink bottle we
soon had our ballots ready. 1t is pro-
badly the first time in the history of
Masonry that hard tack was used for
this purpose.
We have twenty-five applications 80
far and look for plenty Of work. Will
keep you posted from time to time as
to our progress.
The brethren join me in fraternal
greetings. Hoping to receive a reply
at your early convenience, l am, sir,
fraternally and obediently yours,
W. G. Truemann, w. NJ,

 When Dr. Harter, of Dayton, Ohio, sent his men to Natchez, to give away thous- ands of bottles of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, 1t was so unusual an occurrence that every person in the city had his attention att tracted to the medicine as well as to the method of its distribution.
 ePrsonally, we resolved to bide our time, until the Iron oniTc had gotten in It's work and every one had been taking 1t a few weeks, and then gather together a little official information as to the actual results obtained from its use, and publish the signed statements of those whom we might interview detailing, officially, the good, bad or indifferent qualities of the medicine, as reported by our citizens. Yesterday we set about the task, and the result Is here presented.

 The corsage of the mohair was a blouse trimmed with strips of the cerise taffeta going from the shoulders to the waistband, and horizontal strips encircling the cor sage. Between the strips the English ap- plique was inserted The sleeves were trimmed at the top with the lace and at the wrists there was a band of the taffeta. The taffeta was employed for the high col lar and girdle.
 A gown of pale gray cashmere was ex- tremely simple and yet so rich. The skirt was cut with a slight train at the back. It was trimmed with violet velvet ribbons arranged in rows of two that came from the waistband at the left side of the skirt and slanting across the front ended at the right side of the bottom of the skirt-an ornament of strass and silver held the two bands together on the aprons center.
 A GREY CoRSAGE.
 The corsage was a blouse of the gray cashmere trimmed with horizontal bands of the velvet to give long yoke effect. Each band at the middle of the corsage was adorned with a strass and silver orna- ments graduating in size. The sleeves were trimmed at the tops with bands of the vel vet that had the effect of being continued from the yoke. The high collar and girdl wer of the violet velvet. I saw a number of dainty little "record books" dangling from belts or fastened at the side of the corsages with gold pins.

4 DAY AT THE RA6ES


Paris. June 1..-For a month or two past the minor races at Longchamp have att tracted fashionable crowd.
 In the early afternoon the benches>in the Bois on the Longchamp drive are crowded with lockers on who watch these beauti- fully attired women glide by on their way to the race track.
 The couturleres who advertise in the Par Is journals have been drawing attention solely to their models for the Grand Prix the last weeks.
 So everybody was prepared for a rare treat on that day of days. And rumor has 1t that there never was such a display of handsome toilettes. Such an air of satis- faction reigned supreme on the faces of these danes of fashion as they tripped along the pebble walk in front of the grand stand. Some in the smartest 'tgloye fitting" tailor made gowns, and others attired in gowns of gauzy materials all frilled and fluffy. The typical French sporting men were there in great numbers with their long close-fittlng light coats. checked trousers, white spats and silk hats.
 THE BRITISH LADY. z
 And "the truly British lady, was con- spicuous too in her severe travelling gown of cheviot and unrelenting stiff linen collar.
