HOW To Cure tho Grin.

Remain quietly at home and take
Cbamberlain's Cough Remedy as di-
rected and quick recovery is sure to
follow. That remedy counteracts
any tendency of the grip to result in
pneumonia. which is really the only
serious danger. Among the tens of
thousands who have used it for the
grip not one case has ever been re-
ported that did not recover. For
sale by all druggists.

1t is of a rather more elaborate style
Of turning than the average. and
that it saw a great deal of service is
attested by the fact that the side of the
leg where the operators knee comes,
is Worn nearly fiat.
Probably one of the Oldest. and at
the same time one of the most interest
ing articles in the collection at the OF
flee is an old 'highboy," which is
shown in the illustration. This ancient
piece of furniture. which reminds one
Of the chiffoniers of today, was
brought to the town of Readneld.
from Cape Cod. in 1874, by Mrs. Howes.
who used to live on Hoyts hill. II was
not new at that time, for it had be-
, longed to Mrs. Howes' grandmother. 1t
is built of English walnut and is
about five and a half feet in height.
The drawer pulls and escutcheons are of
brass, and elaborate in design. There
are ten drawers and a secret drawer,
bur as we promised not to tell where
the latter is. you will have to guess its
location. The old key is still in one
of the locks. and was hammered out
by hand.
The doctor has. also. quite goodly
array of old chairs at the off1ce. one
of them, whose straight. plain legs in
dicate great age, was made to stand
in the corner of a room, and was. IN
the old days. called an las You like 1t
chair. Originally it had flat bottom.
but now it is neatly upholstered IN
crimson plush. Another chair Of about
the same vintage as the one just men
;e of with n flag bottom
and formerly belonged to old DR.. Page.
Still another. of solid mahogany and
elaborately carved. was a part of the
original furnishings of the council
chamber at the State House. and be-
longed to VIM. Wilson. who was q
member of Governor Garcelon's coun-
Gil in 1880.
An article that is sure to catch the
eve of the visitor as he enters the room
is an excellent specimen OF what -
called paw foot sofa. These sofas
derive their name from the shape or
fine legs. which are carved to represent
the feet of q lion. The arms. which
are of wood, instead Of being uphol-
stored are wide. with a graceful roll.
and where the legs join the body Of the
| sofa there is exquisite carving OF
wings. so common in Egyptian figures.
| The sofa is of solid mahogany. The
urholstering is new. but the brass
i headed tacks with which it is fastened
ore the ones which were used when the
sofa was made. In the office and at
tho house are several mahogany.
brass trimmed desks. the top of which
tips down and is held in horizontal
position by strips which pull out on
| either side These desks are well sup
plied with drawers and pigeon-holes.
and are the great grandfathers OF the
roll-top desks of the present day.
In the way of ancient firearms the
doctor has enough specimens to start
n museum. Among the most curious
are two holster pistols Of revolutionary
! origin. The barrels are of brass and
bell muzzled. and the fiints in the locks
ere still intact. The holsters which
held the pistols are still in existence,

The demand for these heirlooms has
increased to such an extent that an
industry for their manufacture has
been developed. and the products that
have been placed upon the market are

to tell the counterfeit from the origi-

clocks that one sees occasionally in the
