Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it re- liable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours ot suffering while physician is awaited. We do not believe in de- pending impllcity on any med ieine for a cure, but we do believe that if bottle of Cham berlain' s Diarrboea Remedy were kept on hand and apminlstered at the in ception of an attack much sHf- fering might be avoided and i'll very many cases the presence of l physician would not be required. At least this has been our experi- ence during the past twenty years.

BRICK MADE OF SCORIA.

The bringing to this country of 2,000 tons of scoria brick from Middlesbor- ough, England, must excite some sur prise in view of the enormous amount of scoria produced by our furnaces. We ought to be able to make such brick here. Hitherto cur furnace slag has for the most part been allowed to go to waste. It has gathered in great quantities about our iron centers, where it sadly disfigures the landscape. Experiments have been made with it in Virginia. for use in making paving stones and with good results, but for some reason no new industry was ere ated. What the furnace men of Eng land can do in the way of producing serviceabte brick from their waste pro duct our inventive furnace men ought to be able to do as we'll A vitreous brick thus made ought to be strong and durable.-Baltimcre Sun.

FRESH DEMAND ON CHINA.
France Demands a Rich Concession in
 the Province of Sze-Chuan.

Pekin, May 14-The French minis ter. NJ Pichon, has demanded mining concessions to the value of 1,2000 taels in. the province of Sze-Chuan. one of the largest in China, and tra- versed by the Yang-tse-Kiang. as in demnity for the recent imprisonment of a French missionary. The demand is cCTs dered exorbirant.
 The Chinese say that the existing conditions of rebellion are not due to any lack of energy on the part of the government, which has frequently consulted the French minister regard ing the best means of obtaining the freedom of the priest in question.
 According to advices from Han Kau, capital of the province of Hoo- Pc, the Russians contemplate taking definite action with reference to prop erty now owned by British subjects in the Russian Jardine concession.

titlelof the case recently filed with=the
 clerk in the courts office in this dis 1 trict.
 In the complaint filed the. plaintiff
 says that he is the only child of the
 late Levi Bashford, and that the de- fendant is the widow Of=the deceased, but that Mary E. Bashford is not the mother of plaintiff.
 Article s of the complaint states de- ceased was S6 years of age at the time of his death, very feeble in health from sickness and declining in years, and was in such a state both mentally and physically as to r9nder him in competent of mind to properly dispose of or negotiate his property. And plaintiff further says that the pre- tended execution of a deed was due to Mrs. BashfCrd's undue and superior influence and control. The property is of large rent paying value, bringing from S700 to $500 monthly rental, and that the same constitutes the bulk of the estate of the late Levi Bashford. The plaintiff ayers that he is the own CT of all of said property and is en- titled to collect all rents therefrom Plaintiff further states that it was never the intention of his father to deprive him of the property, and that he is the only offspring ana ns1r at .aw That if the deed is permitted to stand the plaintiff will be entirely cheated and wronged of his rights and interests.
 Plaintiff further states that his father madei a will previous to his death, while in the exercise of his mental faculties, and that he was made the beneficiary under the will of all the estate eXceCt the rents.
 The plaintiff prays that the will be set aside and held for naught. Hern- don & Norris are named as attorneys for Coles Bashford. The property in volved in this litigation are lots ?, 3, 4, 5, 6, and s, in block s, while other real estate is affected equally.

the child is all tense and excited, in- wardly, nineteen times out of twenty it is best for the teacher to apperceive the case as enc of moral culpability. So long as the inhibiting sense of inn possibility remains in the child's mind. he will continue unable to get beyond the obstacle. The aim of the teacher should then be tq make him simply forget. Drop the Subject for the time, divert the mind to something else, then lead the pupil back by some cir cuitous line of association, spring it on him again before he has time to recog- nize it, and as likely as not he will go over it without any difficulty. It is in no other way that we overcome balk- mess in horse; we divert his atten- ti0n, do something to his nose or ear, lead him around in a circle, and thus get him over a place where fogging would only have made him more in vincible.

ADMINISTRATION IN CUBA.
A Striking Contrast Between the Old
 Time and the New Era

Our Havana correspondent reports a handsome increase of custom house re- ceipts at that port The total for the year promises to be not less than $10.- 100000. To this sum the other ports will add two or three millions, making in all a decidedly handsome revenue fer an island of Cuba s size and present condition The island is, of course. still suffering terribly from the effects of the war Its industries are only be- ginning to be restored. The tariff is only half as high as it was. The pop ulation is probably 25 per cent less than it was before Weyler pursued his campaign of eXtermination, and the wealth and purchasing ability of those who are left are reduced to a mini- mum. And yet the custom house rev. enues are today about as large as they were before the war when the indus tries and commerce of the island were at their height
 The explanation of this is simple. It is offered by our Havana correspondent in the reminder that while in Spanish hands the customs service was fla grantly corrupt, in American hands 1t is efficient and honest It is not agreeable to recall and to dwell upon the evil features of the old Spanish regime. Yet they are facts of historic record, and it becomes now and then necessary to take them into account in order properly to understand the pres
