II Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough remedy has a
remarkable record. 1t has been in use
for over thirty years, during which
time many million bottles have been
sold and used. 1t has long been the
standard and main reliance in the
treatment of Group in thousands Of
homes, yet during all this time no case
has ever been reported to the manu-
facturers ia which it failed to affect a
cure. When given as soon as the child
become hoarse or even as soon as the
croupy cough appears it will prevent
the attack. It is pleasant to take,
many children like it. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful substance and
may be given as confidentially to a
baby as to an adult. For sale by Jos.

ST. Justin's Body Found.

Some children while playing few days

discovered large old box. and, breaking 1t
open, they found In 1t skeleton and several
sacerdotal ornaments.
The parish priest was Informed Of the dis.
covery, and he soon obtained convincing
proof that the skeleton was that of st. Jus.
tin who lived about $50 years after Christ.
and who was killed during the prosecutions
Of the Christians, which were authorized by
the emperors of that era.
The body of st. Justin was removed from
the catacombs In 1905 by order Of Pope Paul
w., and three years later Antonio Thieno
obtained permission to remove 1t to Montl
cello. For more than a century no one has
known where the body was, and Its discovery

In Ecuador curious hammocks have long
been In use, and Mr. Perry NJ. de Leon,
United States consul general-at Guayaqull,

and elasticity OF the fiber of which they are
composed. and he expresses confidence that

de Leon, ARE nine to IL feet In length by
three to six feet in width. and the fiber Is
OF whitish yellow color, like wheat straw,
and Is generally stained red In narrow

quaint without being gaudy. and from ~

world seems to be made up OF ocean, every
thing that has to do with the sea appears
to possess a peculiar potency.
The sea god Is the greatest OF all divini-

animals that dwell in the briny deep are
more or less powerful, In supernatural
sense, In one way or another.
