Caution.

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase the only remedy universally
known and a remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and treat
ment of Consumption and Throat and
Lung troubles without losing it's great
popularity all these years, you will be
thankful we called your attention to
Boschee's German Syrup. There are
so many ordinary cough remedies
made by the druggist and others that
are cheap and good for light colds per-
haps, but for severe Coughs, Bronchi-
tbs, Croup-and especially for Con-
sumption, where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The IS cent size
has just been introduced this year.

Ebony, the Wood Of Kings,

While many of the hardwoods in use
at the present day are of comparatively
recent introduction, ebony was known
and highly esteemed by Il number of
ancient races and used by them for
kingly and other purposes. While the
name ebony is given to the wood of
several varieties of trees, all kinds are
Of great density and dark color, the
heaviest varieties being, rs Il rule, also
the darkest. There are three varieties
of ebony well known in the trade. The
ebony from the Gaboon coast of Africa
is the darkest. The Madagascar ebony
is the densest. The Macassar ebony
furnishes the largest pieces. London is
still the chief mart for this wood, and
from there it is shipped to the various
countries in which it is used for manu-
featuring purposes. - Popular Me

O'CONNEll'S GOODNESS.
A Story of TIVE Irish LiberatOr and Q
Falling Floor.

Daniel O'COnnell was once address
ing an enormous meeting in Kings
town, and the crowd was so large that
fear was felt for the safety Of the
building. AS he was about to speak a
gentleman assembled the platform and
said, trembling with fear: "Liberator,
the floor is giving way! The beams are
cracking, and we shall all fall through
in a few minutes" 1t is not given to
many men to live through such mo-
ments as O'Connell lived through as he
rose to address the meeting nor to pre-
serve such magnificent courage in the
face of great peril. Warming the man
to keep quiet. the liberator said, II find
this room too small to contain the num-
Der who desire to come in, so we must
therefore leave it and hold the meeting
outside" A few rose to leave. ut the
hall was still packed, and then O'COn-
nell said: ''Then l will tell you the
truth. You are IriShmen and therefore
brave men. The floor is giving way,
and we must leave this room at once.
If there is q panic and a rush to the
door, we shall all be precipitated into
the room below, but if you obey my
orders we shall be safe. Let the dozen
men nearest the door go quietly out,
then the next dozen, and so on until all
have gone. shall be the last to leave"
The lrishmcn followed the advice, the
hall was quickly cleared. and us O'Con-
nell walked across the floor the broken
beams gave way.-OXford Chronicle.

The bill was drawn by Health Officer
Woodward. and also has the Endorsement
Of the Commissioners. DIR. Woodward saws
the law in its present form cannot be en-
forced without enormous cost to the gov
ernment and great annoyance and expense
to property owners. but that If the limit Of
growth Of weeds be placed at eighteen
inches instead of four. both the expense
and trouble Of the enforcement Of the law
will be greatly diminished
DR.. Woodward says the purpose of the
law seems to be aesthetic, as there is no
evidence to show that weeds are detrimen-
tai to health.
