AVillaee BLACKSMITH Saved His Lit
tie Sons Life,

Mr.. H. H. Black, the well known
village blacksmith at Grahamville,
Sullivan Co., N. Y, says: Our lit
tie son, five years old, has always been
subject to Group, and so bad have the
attacks been that we have feared many
times that he would die. We have
had the doctor and used many medi-
cines, but Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy is now our sole reliance. 1t seems
to dissolve the tough mucus and by
giving frequent doses when the croupy
symptoms appear we have found that
the dreaded Group is cured before it
gets settled" There is no danger in
giving this remedy for it contains
no opium or other injurious drug and
may be given as confidently to babe
as to an adult. For sale by all drug
gists.

Southern Way with Sweet Potato.

81 see there is to be an exceptionally
large crop OF sweet potatoes this year"
observed the southerner in the party,
much more thrilling to New Workers if
they knew the proper way to prepare
the vegetable. Now, | fatter myself
that do know, for the sweet potato is
an appreciated vegetable in the South,
and the manner of cooking it has not
been carelessly considered. have never
eaten sweet potatoes in any but one
form since | tasted them first, and in
that way they first become known to
most southerners, who, indeed, continue
to eat them so during most of their
lives. The potatoes should be peeled
and boiled until they are thoroughly but
not too well cooked. Then they should
be cut into four pieces lengthwise and
placed in tin baking pan. Butter and
sugar should be placed over the potatoes
abundantly before they are put in the
oven to bake slowly After while, the
butter and sugar mingling with the juice
of the potatoes, forms delicate crust
that should be cooked until it has al
most reached the point at which it is
candy. Under this crust is thick, rich
sirup of the sap OF the potatoes, sugar
and butter. Anybody who has eaten
sweet potatoes in this way will never be
satisfied with any other way Of cooking
them. The principal merit of this method
lies, of course, in having them thoroughly
cooked. The fire must be slow and the
cooking must continue until the sugar
and butter on top of the potatoes have
formed a crust New York Sun.

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(Bsnsons Plaster is Pains MaSter)

From the natural impulse to "put some
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tees or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as a curative agent; it Is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with Others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
ffty,fUe highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, Or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on the receipt of 25c. each.

FOREIGN NEWS.

English red tape is we'll illustrated by
the following: In 1906 the British man
ofwar Busy toundered with all hands on
a voyage from Halifax to the West In
dies. At that time one of the crew, Mat,
thew Hutchings, had the sum of SIPS
standing to his credit with the admiral
ty, which fact was discovered accident
ally by the next of kin in 1886, 80 years
after the disaster. After - years of cor
respondence, the admiralty decided to
pay over the money, but the court of pro-
baton then took a hand and wanted
proof of Hutchings death. This has fin
ally been produced, but it is not expected
that the heirs will get their money for a
year or two yet.

Chinese Laws Of wharfage and Divorce.

In an address before the New York
State Bar Associate II recently on "Chi-
nese Jurisprudence" Minister WI Ting
Fang gave the following description of
the marriage laws of China:
The law provides various degrees of
punishment for man or woman who
marries during the legal period OF mourn
ing for a deceased parent, and for a
widow who marries again within the
legal period of mourning for her deceased
husband, the period Of mourning in each
case being twenty-seven months. Who
ever marries wife or husband having
father, mother, grandfather or grand
mother at the same time under con6ne-
ment in prison for capital offence shall
be punished with eighty blows. Never
theless, if any such person enters into the
marriage state at such period by the ex-
pressed command of his or her parent or
andparent in prison no punishment
shall ensue, provided the usual feast and
entertainment is omitted; otherwise
punishment of sixty blows shall be still
inflicted. The prohibitions as to mar
rage between persons on account of
consanguinity and other relationship are
more numerous and general than those
in this country or in Europe. There is a
provision against the marriage of priests.
If a Buddhist or Taoist priest shall
marry he shall be punished with eighty
blows and be expelled from the order to
which he belongs, and the marriage shall
be null and void. The law sanctioning
divorce gives seven justifying causes,
namely: Barrenness, lasciviousness, dis
obedience to her husbands parents,
talkativeness, thievery, jealousy and
leprosy. This is, however, almost an,
nulled by the other part of the same sec
ton, which declares that although one
OF the seven above causes OF divorce can
be chargeable on the wife, yet if any Of
the three reasons against a divorces
should exist, namely: ~ the wife hav'
ing mourned three. years for her hus
bands parents; (2) the family having
become rich alter having been poor al
the time of the marriage, and (3) tn,
wife having no parents living to receive
her back again, then none OF the sever
aforementioned causes will Justify a di
vorce, and if the husband should pu
away his wife upon such grounds b
shall be punished and obliged to take he
back.
