X HIGH MARK.

The New York Almanac for 1901, is sued by Chas. H. Fletcher of New York City, has set high mark for similar publications during the new century,
 and shows remarkable enterprise on the3 part of the publisher when we con slider that it is intended solely for free distribution. The numerous publica- l tions of this character are usually got ten up with the single idea of cheap ness, while the thought of expense has certainly been set aside in the case of the New York Almanac. The artistic colorings of the cover, the accuracy of it's calanders and its fund of informa- tion all go to make it we'll worthy of perusal and preservation. It has in numerable hints for mothers as to the care of children. A unique page is the
 ''Baby's Record" page, which is in blank, to be filled in with baby's name, date of birth, cut of first tooth, etc. The whole is very creditable piece of work and may be procured at any drug store or direct on request, free. ---.
 This season there is large death rate among children from croup and lung troubles. Prompt action will save the little ones from these terrible dis sases. We know of nothing so certain l to give instant relief as One Minute Cough Cure. It can also be relied up on in grip and all throat and lung | troubles of adults. Pleasant to take

When threatened by pneumonia or any other lung trouble, prompt relief is necessary, as it is dangerous to delay. We would suggest that One Minute Cougo Cure be taken as soon as indica- tions of having taken cold are noticed.
 It cures quickly and it's early use pre- vents consumption. R. H. Beers X Co.,, Ncwtown; s. c. Bull x Co.,, Sandy Hook; A. B. Blakeman, BOtsford; B. Hawley & Co.,, Stepney; A. B. Fancher, Hawleyville; w. N. Hurd Long Hill. x

Borrowing Trouble.

Many people spend about one-half
of their days borrowing trouble.
Little annoyances become mountains
when viewed at distance ahead, and
many unhappy days are occasioned
by looking forward to something we
fancy will make US unhappy. Some
people never take actual comfort, for
the dread of coming change is always
in the way Of their enjoyment. There
is about as much distress of mind eX-
perienced in the anticipation OF some
coming evil as in the realization. If
we take things as they come we will
usually find that they come much
better than we expected. BY antici-
pating some trouble we darken many
day which otherwise might have
been bright, and find that we have
been needlessly robbing ourselves and
others of happiness.
