Something That VIII Do You Good.

We know of no way in which we can be
of more service to our readers than to tell
them of something that will be OF real
good to them. For this reason we want
to acquaint them with what we consider
one of the very best remedies on the mar
ket for coughs, colds, and that alarming
complaint, Group. We refer to Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. We have used it
with such good results in our family 30
long that it has become a household ne
cessity. By its prompt use we haven't
any doubt but that it has time and again
prevented Group. The testimony is given
upon our own experience, and we suggest
that our readers, especially those who
have small children, always keep it in
their homes as a safeguard against Group

Although no boy has hitherto
blessed their hearth, four girls have
been born to their imperial majesties
Olga, the eldest; Tatiana, Maria and
the more-recently-arrived baby, whose
sex was such a disappointment to
the Russian nation. The care of these
children devolves upon Miss Edgar, an
Irish lady, and two Russian under

BRITISH NAVAL CUSTOMS.
An Interesting Account of the Origin
of a Number Of Regular
Practices.

A fact not generally known is that
the black silk handkerchief which
Jack knots around his throat was first
worn as mourning for Nelson, and has
ever since been retained. The three
white stripes around the broad blue
collar of the sailors jumper commem-
crate the victories of Trafalgar, Copen-
hagen and the Nile. Thus, it has been
remarked, the Nelson legend affects
not only Jacks work, but his food and
clothing as well. The broad blue collar
itself is older than the great admiral
1t was first adopted at that period
when sailors plastersd their hair into
a stiff pigtail with grease and powder,
says the London Family Herald.
At nine o'clock each night the sentry
in every ship in harbor hres of his
rifle. For the origin of this custom
we may have to look back to the days
of flint locks. fDhen, in order TO test
the printing and see that his weapon
was in disable condition, the sentry had
to fire it off each night. There is no
necessity for such test with modern
rifles, but the nine o'clock firing is
religiously carried out.
Every officer or man climbing to the
quarter deck salutes. The origin OF
this usage dates back a long way.
When England was Roman Catholic
country a orucifx stood on the quarter
deck of all ships Every time any one
of the crew approached this holy sym
Dol he crossed himself. Out OF that
has grown the custom of saluting the
quarter deck.

MULE ATE THE WAGON.
Animal Took a Liking for the wood
and Gorgsd Himself to
Death.

s. A. Harris, grocer of Charlotte,
lost a mule and the better part of
a delivery wagon the other day. The
wagon body was made of poplar. The
mule was made of just simply or
binary everyday mule, says the
Charlotte IN. c. Observer.
One night the mule got out OF the
stable and set about task of eating
up the delivery wagon. He ate the
framework down to the floor and
might have finished the floor if he
hadn't stopped long enough to die.
Cam King, one of the original two
orphans, was at the old courthouse
when he overheard Squire Maxwell
telling an Observer reporter about
the death of Sam Harris mule.
81 believe every word of it," spoke
up King, land l will tell you why.
Mules will eat wood when they are
wanting forage and can't get it
(meaning no reflection on Sam.
AT Stanton, Va, during the war
l was in charge of the commissary
wagons. We had plenty of corn for
our mules, but for days they had had
no forage whatever. Well, one night
my mules ate out five spokes from a
wagon wheel to which they had been
tied.
THAT morning / got load of
chestnut rails to feed my mules on
and they ate every one of them. Not
q mule died. What caused the death
of Mr. Harris mule l can't say, but
1 do know that my army mules were
great wood eaters"

HOMEMADE PURE AIR.
Novel Idea for the Treatment of Per-
sons Afflicted with Pulmonary
Complaints.

A Philadelphia inventor has intro
duced the genuine product, which is
claimed to be beneficial for persons
with lung or throat trouble. His OBJ
ject is to bring the balm-healing pine
woods to the patient when the pa
tient cannot go to the woods. The
apparatus acts on the principle of a
heating furnace. Inside the furnace
layers of pine wood are alternated
with layers of low-burning mate
rial. When the fire is introduced and
the furnace closed the mass smolders
for weeks at a time. The vapors
emanating from the burning pine are
caught in tank, cleansed thoroughly
and the purified vapor is conducted
through pipes to rooms all over the
building. The vapOr is said to have
an invigorating effect on those who
inhale it and seems to have all the
qualities of the air from the pine for
est. In purifying the yapor liquid
is obtained which is said to be very
healing.

GIANTS CAN BE GROWN.
Growth of Man May Be Ac-
celebrated.

The common notion of the physiolo-
gist that growth and development
are due to suitable diet and exercise
has formed the subject of some pecul-
lar experiments on the part of a
French doctor. He claims that he has
abnormally accelerated the growth of
children and animals by feeding them
on preparation of cereals, and that he
can make giants of those whose organ
ization in any way permits of such
extension.
A certain Bishop Berkeley succeeded
in similar feat long ago. He took a
male child and fed him in accordance
with system of his own. By the time
the boy was 16 years of age he had at
tanned height of feet inches.
Moist foods, such as drinks of tea and
milk and other similar beverages, tend
to increase the stature, while dry and
spiced foods and alcoholic drinks tend
to stop the development.

Poor Peoples Lawyers.
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
We have received the first annual report
of this excellent society, winch was organ
lied somewhat more than a year ago to
provide, after careful investigation, legal
aid to those helpless persons who are too
poor to pay counsel to maintain their legal
rights, and espt cially for those cases where
small sums are due and unjustly withheld
from persons unable to employ counsel,
and in which lawyers reasonable charges
for collection would be more than the sum
collected. A similar society has been
maintained by charitable support in the
city of New York for more than twenty
years, and has proved to be one of the
most effective benevolent organizations in
that city. 1t has steadily increased It's
usefulness, and the number of cases re-
ceiving attention from its attorneys during
the year 1890 alone was over 5000.
The results of the first years operations
Of The Boston society have been satsfact0'
ry. The sum of 5000 in actual cash has
been collected for various applicants,
many matrimonial difficulties have been
adjusted. and every applicant has had the
satisfaction of obtaining competent legal
advice. Like all charity work, however,
the benefit cannot be estimated in dollars
and cents. The good comes in many ways;
by putting courage into the hearts Of those
who are almost wholly discouraged, by
making the poor feel that they have rights
which the rich are bound to respect, and
that in the society they have friend
always ready to advise and assist them;
and on the other hand by SURPRISING the
lligious spirit, and by protecting the we'll
to-do and prosperous from false and ficti-
cious demands.

A QUEER WEDDING FEAST.

when the sweetened paste was to be
served no dish could be found large
enough. Accordingly a large canoe
was brought, cleaned after their by.
no-means-particular fashion, and into
this the paste was put. AS the null
titude sat about it, each dipping in
and helping himself with the mussel
shells, which they use instead of
spoons, q greedy child fell headarst
into the canoe, being entirely i'm
mersed in the food. Quickly rescued,

waste so much good food, so the 1T

other along the line of guests, who
proceeded to lick him over until

The Negro in Virginia.
Richmond Times.

Richmond Times.
A correspondent of the Stanton News
asks certain questions of the editor of that
paper, the last of which is the following:
eff the negro is DISTINGUISHED will it not
have the effect Of driving the best of them
and the most self.respecting out of the
State; if so, will it not add to the difficulty
of obtaining reliable help oil our farms p
We believe that the Objectionable ele.
ment of the negro may be disiranchised
without driving any considerable number
of negroes from the State; for We believe
that this can he accomplished without the
enforcement of any harsh or fraudulent
measure. But there is another question
which suggests itself in this connection. If
Virginia withholds FROM the negro educa.
tional advantages It is fair to presume that
the best element in this race will pack up
and move away. If this should be, then
we would have the worst element left, and
if no school facilities were afforded that
element would grow worse and worse, aud
the effect of great body of ignorant and
vicious negroes in the community would
De demaralizing in the extreme to the
whites.
That ia the serious phase Of the negro
problem. If we are to have the negroes
here it is in the interest of the whites, it is
in the interest of public morals and good
government to improve their conditions
and make them better citizens. No State
can hope to be prosperous in morals and
intellect and material things with half of
its population civilized and the other half
barbarous.

water, was submerged while the va
rious courses, of which there were ~,
were being partaken by the half dozen

on board a large barge moored near at
hand, was transferred to the novel
dining-room when the latter was
drawn above the surface during the
intervals between the courses.

BsTRAYINs THE PEOPLE.

We begin to see revival of the propo-
silion to proclaim the new Constitution,
and to not let the people OF Virginia have
AN opportunity to say whether the organic
law 20 be framed by the Convention is ac'
ceptable. If the Convention should arb
trarily decide to proclaim the Constitution
il will be an act of cowardice and Of treach-
cry, which will surely doom those men
who give their support to such move
ment to future political degradation.
1t will be remembered that some time
prior to the election for Governor last fall
the proclamation idea was helng pushed
by the Democratic press and MANY leaders
of that party. A sudden alarm was raised'
however, and the press and leaders be-
came silent on the subject This was done
to put the-seople of 1heis guard until
after the election. w in eacted ehsn 'na'
the revolutioniets wodSEIt subsequent
date renew their efforts 10 accomplish the
outrage on the rights Of the people. From
present indications we were not mistaken
in our conclusions. We see that members
of the Convention are again boldly advo-
eating proclamation, and some OF the Dem
ocratic newspapers are falling into line
again. The Charlottesville Progress, whose
editor and publisher is q member OF the
convention, is stronly in favor OF proclaim
ing the new Constitution. The Progress
takes this position for the reason that 1t
apprebends the new Constitution will be
rejected if it should be submitted to the
people for ratification or rejection. 1t APP
prehends that such a result would come,
even if the submission should be to a re-
stricted electorate. This confession should
be enough to seriously alarm the people
of Virginia, make them see the reckless
dispoeition of the Convention, and demon
strate the fact that it is intended to frame
a Constitution that will be revolutionary
and destructive to personal liberty.
fit is the purpose Of the Convention to
make Constitution which conforms to
Justice and common sense, why should the
members be SO spprehensive that their
work will rejected by the people? The
members Who stand for proclamation
clearly fhs-ssI to make such revolution
in our organic ia@ that they will know it
will be unpopular; AMI are, therefore, will
ling to violate solemn party pledge, and
usurp an authority never given them, to
accomplish their end.
We hope that no such dishonest and
dishonorable step will he taken by the
Convention. 1t has already won disap-
proval and ridicue; but if it dares to pro.
claim the Constitution, it will justly earn
the sdorn and contempt OF the present
generations and the generations that are to
follow.
