A correspondent finds these notable
points OF resemblance In the careers Of
Shakespeare and Mollere:
The father Of each was in trade and
apparently destined his son to follow
his occupation. The oarly education
Of both was neglected, and We know
nothing in their after training that
conferred on them their perfect knowl-
edge OF good breeding and distinguish
ed manners. Neither OF them was hap
pIly married. Each became manager,
author, actor. Each produced n con-
siderable number OF authenticated dra-
matte works. Each was careless about
publishing his works, or, ratheHVbject-
cd to do so lest they should be acted
by rival dramatic companies. Plays OF
each were collected by actors and first
published in a complete form after the
death Of the authors.
Each touched up or produced plays
that are lost or of doubtful origin.
Each dtsrcgardcd novelty OF plot, Dor
rowing from various sources, Each
dlslIked his profession. The personal
character OF each was gentle, kind,
generous. Each hnd n profound knowl-
edge OF human nature. Each Preferred
the idea or matter to the comparative
disregard OF the manner. Each had n
remarkable fecundity and fertility of
production. Each died at the age Of
hfty-two.

The great obstacle to the Panama

found in the Cha gres river which in
the rainy season rises forty feet almost
without warning. This stream really
caused the collapse of the first COM

It is more than twenty years now

tober, 1894, just in time to save the
concession from the Colombian govern

from the first that a new and econom-
icaI regime was to be inaugurated, and
economy was carried to such a pitch
that the laborers on the canal revolted
and went on disastrous strike. The
strike was eventually quelled, however
and by midsummer, 1895, about 900 men

The Best Remedy for Group.

(From the Atchison kan. Daily t9lobe.J
This is the season when the woman who
knows the best remedies for Group is in de-
mand in every neighborhood. One of the
most terrible things in the world is to be
awakened in the middle of the night by .
Whoop from one of the children. The Group
remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in
case of Group. as a revolver is sure to be
lost in case of burglars. There used to be
an old-fashioned remedy for Group, known
IS hive syrup and tolu. but some modern
mothers say that ChamDerlan's Cough
Remedy is better. and does not cost so
much. 1t causes the patient TO throw up
the phlegm' quicker. and gives relief in
shorter time. Give this remedy as soon
as the croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. It never fails and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale by
all druggists.
