is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
rledicines?

From sylvan Valley News. Brevrad N c.
1t may be question whether the edi-
tor of a newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any of the various pro-
prietary medicines which flood the mar
ket. yet as a preventive of suffering we
feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy We have known and
used this medicine in our family for TWEEN
ty years and have always found it reliable.
In many cases dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while a
physician is awaited We do not believe
in depending implicitly on any medicine
for a cure, but we do believe that if a bot
tie of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy
were kept on hand and administered at
the inception of an attack, much suffering
might be avoided and in very many cases
the presence of a physician would not be
required AT least this has been our eX-
perience during the past twenty years.

There is more catarrh in this section OF

and by constantly failing to cure with To-

constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Couldn't Quit Gambling.

Driving cab in the streets Of Lon

thrown away ESQ, 1000. The son of a
wealthy family in Yorkshire, he went
into the army, but soon became distin-

He ruined himself and had to leave his
regiment.
A short time ago while living in 8
garrct news was brought to him that
he had been left $50, O00 There was a
condition attached to the legacy-that
the money was to Immediately pass to
another person, named in the will, if
the legatee was ever found gambling.

One day while at Versailles during
the French war Lord Odo Russell went
to call on Bismarck, but found him
closeted with Count Harry Amin, who
was known as the cape" from his fan
tastical ways. Before long Arnim came
out, tanning himself with his handker-
chief and looking as if about to choke.
"Well," F" he gasped, 81 cannot under

The Minnow Trap.

The minnow trap used for catching
minnows for bait is Of glass, shaped like
a jar or bottle without neck and Of
a capacity Of six or eight quarts. The
bottom Of the trap rises in cone, like
the bottom of a champagne bottle, but
instead Of being solid the top Of the
cone is cut off, making an opening in
the trap. The top of the trap has over
it metal cap on hinge. The cap is
perforated with number Of holes to
permit Of the circulation Of water
through the trap.
The minnow trap is slung horizon
tally in wire holder, which has han
die on top, to which rope is made fast.
Suitable bait to attract minnows is
placed in the trap, which is then low
cred into the water. The cone with the
opening at the inner end in the bottom
is in effect like the opening into al eel
or fish trap. 1t is easy for the minnows
to get through it into the trap in search
of the bait, but hard for them to get
out. When the trap has been raised,
the captured minnows are got out by
opening the cap at the other end Of the
trap.-New York Sun.

Hard on the Gentler Sex.

There is much of the slave and the
tyrant hidden in the nature Of woman.
Thus woman is not yet capable Of
friendship, but only of love.
In the love of woman is injustice and
blindness to all that she does not love-
There are two things true man
likes-danger and play. He likes won
an because she is the most dangerous Of
playthings.
A man should be reared for the voca-
tion of warrior; a woman for the rec
reation of the warrior. ALI else is rub
bish.
A woman's principle of honor is to
love more than she is loved, so as not
to be second.
In any game where love or hate is
not at stake women play mediocre
part.
All women behind their personal
vanity cherish an impersonai contempt
for woman.
As rule, mother loves herself in
her son more than the son himself.
The chief danger that besets artists
of genius lies in woman. The worship,
ing woman is their ruin. Hardly one
has character enough to resist his ruin
when he finds himself treated like a
god. Man is coward in face Of the
ewig weibliche, and no one knows il
better than the small woman.
Women indulge in literature as they
commit a little sin, glancing round to
see if any one is looking. e., to at

Ieretnriao Crocodiles.

A report by George Hoare, one Of the
officials of the British Central Africa
protectorate, summarized in the local
gazette, contains some curious details
Of the crocodiles Of Lake Chiuta. They
would seem to be strict vegetarians, for
not only have they never been known
to attack the men fishing in the lake,
but their tracks were shown by the
natives to the writer at a distance Of
several miles from it's shores, whence
they are said to travel overland in
search of roots. This is contrary to the
habits Of all known species Of croco-
diles, which are, in the first place,
purely carnivorous, and, in the second,
so helpless on land from their inability
to turn, except in a large circle, that
they never leave the immediate vicinity
of their watery or muddy home. Efforts
will accordingly be made to obtain a
specimen of this abnormal type Of the
formidable ampbibian.-London Tablet.

Good Sturgeon Story.

Here is story about Spurgeon. He
once passed a stonemason who, after
each stroke of his hammer, cursed and
swore. Mr.. Spurgeon laid his hand on
his shoulder and, looking kindly at him,
said: "You are an adept at swearing.
Can you also pray"
With another cath he replied, "Not
very likely"
Holding up shillings, Mr.. spurgeon
said if he would promise never to pray
he would give him that.
"That is easily earned" said the
man, with fresh oath, and put it in
his pocket. When Spurgeon left, the
man began to feel a little queer. When
be went home, his wife asked him what
allied him, and he told her. "It is Ju-
das' money" said the man, and on q
sudden impulse he threw it into the
fire. The wife found it and took it out
and discovered who had given it to him.
The man took it back to Spurgeon, who
conversed long with him, warning him,
and at length was the means Of saving
him. He became an attached member
of his flock

THE CYCLONE.
How This Wonderful and Destruc-
tive Air Fury Is Formed.


To get an idea of a cyclones foTma-
tion imagine large circular pan or tub
with quite large hole in the middle
Of the bottom. With this hole plugged,
fill the vessel with water; then draw
out the plug and watch. There is first
1ush Of water from all directions toward
the hole and a turbulent effort to get
through. Then the water surface above
begins to sink and swirl, the particles
gradually circling around and around
and rushing, ever faster, toward the
center At last there is actually hol-
low space through the center, around
which all the water in the tub is whirl-
ing, sluggishly near the rim, but with
moro and more violent rapidity toward
the middle until it rushes downward
through the bottom. Now, if that water
were air, you would be watching little
cyclone turned upside down, for the air
rushes upward instead of downward.
In the cradle Of cyclones during the
summer months, when the land and the
water grow hotter and hotter because
Of the longer days than nights, layer
of air, hot, light and full of vapor, is
for a time held down by denser air
above it. Restless, expanding, tumultu-
Gus, it moves about like a beast at bay
until thinner place in the air above is
found. Then up it madly rushes and
into the vacuum left behind the lower
atmosphere hastens from all directions,
pushing and twisting and pouring up
ward until it has fallen into regular
spinning around common center.
The cyclone, once formed, rushes
away from the tropics toward the pole,
and begins its career Of destruction,
bruising, w1ecking and sinking the
luckless ships which happen to be in
its path. More and more Of the sur
rounding atmosphere is drawn into the
whirl until the storm often covers an
area nearly 1000 miles in diameter.
Sometimes it filings itself upon our At
lantic coast and tears fercely through
forests, fields and cities. Then again it
sweeps away across the broad ocean and
dashes itself upon the coasts of Europe.
Once in awhile it so ad1oitly avoids
the land that we never know it has
passed until ships come in torn and
broken.-St. Nicholas.

ptanists Practice Too Much.

"While studying with Rubinstein,
Josef Hofmann practiced three hours a
day." writes Mary B. Mullett Of the
famous pianist in The Ladies Home
Journal. "He believes that most stu
dents make the mistake Of overpractic-
ing. When he came to this country the
first time, he was practicing an hour a
day. For two years after his return to
Germany he practiced two hours a day.
During the next two years he averaged
four hours daily, and after that, until
he went to Rubinstein, six hours daily.
This he regards as excessive.
Zones mind grows stupid and con-
fused, Hofmann says, and ones fingers
follow the confusion of the brain. An
other mistake of young pianists is that
they use too much force in practicing.
One should play just hard enough to
keep the fingers and wrists from getting
stiff. One is not aiming for artistic re-
suits as one is in concert playing. It is
the fingers which need constant prac-
tire -
