A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use With
oat a Failure.

The first indication Of Group is
~hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach OF an attack
Following this ~hoarseness is a peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thous-
ands of homes in this broad land and
never dlsappolnts the anxious mothers.
We have yet to learn Of a single in
stance in which it has not proved Ell
fectual. No other preparation can
show such a record-twenty-tiye years
constant use without a failure. For

THE NAVY.

In looking back over the Spanish war,
however brilliant the work of the troops
was. it was to the navy that the chief
glory fell. This was caused in great
part by the admirable state of efficiency
of that arm of the service. No complaint
was made of the navy during the last
war upon the score of lack of readiness.
It was found apt and fit for the work
in hand, which it did with a complete
ness leaving nothing to be desired. 1t
only reached it's high state of efficiency
however, as the result of careful,
though often unnoticed, preparation,
and there is no disposition on the part
of those in authority to intermit the
work of preparing for possible, though
it is to be hoped, not probable, en-
ployment in the future.
An indication of this says Brad
streets is found in the establishment of
the Naval Policy Board, which may be
described in a sense as a permanent bu-
reau of intelligence and strategy. 1t
will be part of the business of this
board to have ready for prompt use
carefully worked out plans of naval
campaigns applicable to any maritime
power with which the United States
may come in conflict. 1t will compile
the most recent and accurate informa-
ton available regarding the military
and naval resources of foreign coun-
tries, and provide accurate coast charts
and plan of defenses to be employed
either by the navy acting alone, or in
conjunction with the army.
The value of such an organization can
scarcely be overestimated; it is, per-
haps, more in the work of preparation
than in the actual contact of navies
upon the seas that the fate of cam
paigns, if not of battle, may be said

HEAVY ITEMS.

When the total amounts to be ex-
pended are footed up, as they are done
in another column, the footings are SUI
ficient to appal one. Where is the
money to come from? Our revenue
won't reach anything like this sum. Our
borrowing powers will be very much
limited by the new organic law. 1t
looks as if the Council voted appropria-
lions and let chance take care of wheth-
er they could be paid or not. Then
when one comes to think that all this
mass of money was voted under the
plea of emergency, by body not strict
ly entitled to vote it, without the peo-
pie, who will have to find the money,
having any voice in the matter, one
certainly opens ones eyes at the brav-
cry OF the members of the Council
They certainly have not been modest
in their demands upon the public purse.
The question comes up whether the
whole set of bills will not be reversed
as soon as possible after our territorial
status comes into being, which should
be somewhere about June 10. The ter
ritorial legislature will have to be called
together, and that will have to consider
ways and means from an entirely diff
ferent standpoint than that which the
Council of State has taken.
Had we not been obliged to pour out
money like water in fighting the plague
we should have had a good substantial
balance to meet the changed conditions.
That is what Mr.. Damon as Minister of
Finance, hoped for. But his hopes were
frustrated and the balance IS pretty
we'll gone. We are therefore in not
nearly so good a position as we hoped
to be- But this can be overcome com
paratively easily, but the method of
overcoming 1t is certainly not that
mapped out by the Council of State,
which has proposed to spend more, con-
siderably, than the national income.

PORTO RICAN TAXES.

The report of Special Commissioner
Carroll, upon the taxation of the Island
of Porto Rico, under Spanish rule,
which was made public in the early part
of this month, shows that the Spanish
methods were as drastic in that Island
as they were in the Philippines which
We're supposed to be the most overtaxed
places on the face of the earth.
Looking first at the more important
forms of general taxation, we find that
customs duties were levied both on
imports and exports. There was also a
special tax on the loading and unload
ing of freight, the embarkation and dis
embarkation of passengers, and transit
tory dues Of ten per cent on duties on
imports.
There were special taxes levied upon
the manufacture of sugar, rum, machin-
cry, chemicals, chocolate, ice, etc. Ev-
cry new shop or factory, had to pay an
installation tax.
The direct taxes seem to have been
particularly onerous. The earnings Of
merchants, manufacturers and other
producers were subject to a tax of 121A
per cent or more, according to the finan-
cial exigencies of the provincial and
municipal treasures. For example, If
a merchants income was valued at

$4,000 he would have to pay in direct
taxes $3.50 year, and would have to
pay also for his personal passport, and
and furniture, and on his horses and
other live stock If not used for labor.
Certainly the true ingenuity of Span
ish financiers was great, and almost
everything a man did, and every dollar
he earned was taxed. He was
taxed If he moved from one dis
trict to another, and he was taxed
for reaching his destination. If he killed
bullock he was taxed. If he gathered
his cocoanuts he was taxed. He was
taxed when he was born, when he was
married, and when he died
But taxation of this kind defeats its
own object. 1t was cheaper to bride the
officials than to pay the tax so sys-
tenn of corruption spread through the
official class, from the governor down
wards, and it was the officials and not
the government, that waxed fat and
grew rich 1t was exactly the same
story in the Philippines.
ent Porto Rico BILL but it is a long
way ahead of anything the Porto Ric-
ans ever had in the past. A man can
breathe freely; can move from district
to district; can kill steer and gather
his cocoanuts without running up
against some petty official who must
be squared" or the regular govern
ment tax be demanded.
To people who have never lived under
such a system, the complete corruption
of an official class seems hardly credi-
BILE. But 1t is so. In Russia there is a
like system of petty exactions and ex-
actly the same results. Among one of
his national DEGREES, one of the Russian
emperors ordered that all saucepans be
inspected by the police. Dirty sauce
pans, would bring upon the owner a
fine. What was the result. You
might scrub till your saucepans, COP
per ones, shone like gold. The
police would put on a fine. But il IN
the course of examination the police
man found rouble bill in the bottom
of one of the saucepans, why, presto,
everything was as clean as a whistle.
Petty exactions lead to corruption
wherever they are practiced, The
Porto Ricans are done with petty exac-
tions.

DOCTOR AND PREACHER.

A Noted Ante-Bellum Character Who
Could Also Put Up a Stiff Fight. :
Zone of the noted ante-bellum char
acters of the SOUTH" says a Georgian,
was DR.. McKane, who lived between
Washington and Augusta. He was a
physician of the old school, and being
also a man of strong religious views,
he was in the habit of occasionally
preaching in the rural churches. Physi-
cally McKane was a giant, and If he
failed to convert a sinner by word of
mouth he was not averse to finishing
the argument with his fists; so, need
less to say, his PROSECUTING was singu-
larly successful. One Sunday, as the
story goes, he drove to a n~eighboring
village for the purpose of holding serv-
ices, and was met as he descended
from his buggy by the local black
smith, who was the bully of the COM
munity. The blacksmith had heard of
the doctors prowess, and, regarding
his presence as a menace to his w
prestige. decided not to let him
preach. We'll, stranger, who be y.
anyhow he asked as a starter, plant
ing himself in the visitors path. my

I'm here to tell y that y can't hold no
meetin' in this town today That's
something we'd best settle Immediate
ly,' said McKane, with perfect cool
ness, and proceeded to pull off his coat.
The blacksmith had the advantage Of
brute strength, but McKane was a
skillful boxer, and after a few swift
passes he saw an opening and knocked
his man down. The bully got up raw
ing and was promptly fioored again.
The third time McKane stretched his.
adversary out he jumped on his chest
and began smuggling him about the
face. Hold on beloved the black
smith, splitting out a couple of teeth,

punch on his nose. Yes! yes!' yelled

How to Grow Stout.

Columns of conflicting advice have
been written from time to time for
the benefit, of women who wish to get
thin, and as it is not enough for the
woman who desires to put on a little
extra flesh to draw her conclusions
from the reverse side of the fleshy wo-
mans instructions, she is coming in
for a goodly share of counsel, too,
which is all excellent in a way, but
the regime of exercise and diet which
is advised for perfect development
from the standard of too much or too
little flesh is usually an absorbing
process which leaves very little time
for other things, and the average wo-
man soon wearies of 1t if she has the
courage to attempt it at all. The sim
pie recipe, EAT vegetables and plenty
of butter, drink milk and sweet cider;
take cod liver oil, go to bed early,
sleep some during each day and laugh
as much as possible" will often help
the thin woman immensely. Cream
may be substituted for the cod liver
oil # preferred.

Tip on Summer Decorations.

There are no more dainty patterns
IN wall papers this season. Severity
and strict soberness are the watch
words of the wall furnishings of
dwelling rooms, and the white and
gold era fades away in abundant
shadows. According to the dealers in
wall papers, old fashions are to be re-
v1ved. The colonial primness is in
favor, and when a modern house is
dressed up in the primary colors as
to wall papers it has a dignity that re-
minds n of the square coats and
knee breeches of a past generation.
One of the patterns used in the new
nome of Mrs. Andrew Carnegie is
made up of v~erticle stripes in various
colors. They are red and green, yell
low, blue and violet hues that make
a striking combination. Other pat
terms are of flowers of the old-fash-
Toned kind-hollyhocks, morning glo'
RES, honeysuckle, dahlias, etc.

The mystery of the "wabbling' of
the earth's axis may be explained in
the opinion of DR.. J. Hahn, a German
astronomer, by assuming that the ro-
tation of our planet Is affected by
changes in the magnetic influences Of
the sun. He publishes a comparison
OF observations on sun-spots and on
the irregular motions of the north pole,
which appears to show a coincidence
between the two phenomena. During
a maximum of sunspots the magnetic
influence of the sun seems to be great
est, and after the passage of such a
maximum the disturbance of the
earth's axis diminishes. The fact
that the earth's poles Of magnetism do
not correspond in location with it's
geographical poles may, Doctor Hahn
suggests, indicate how the suns dis
turbing action is applied. When the
magnetism of our globe is L1ost pow
erfully excited then the strain along
its magnetic axis may cause a distCr-
ton Of the figure of the earth, which
becomes less as the strain diminishes.
