THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP

(From the Atchison. Kan, Daily Globe)
 This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu. but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better. and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to "throw up the phlegm' quicker, and gives re- lief in a shorter time. Give this rem edy as soon as the croupy cough ap- pears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Elvey & Hulett, druggists.

MARK TwAIN's FIRST MONEY.

While travelling recently Mark Twain was asked by a friend and fellow pas senger if he remembered the first money he had ever earned.
 Yes" answered MT. Clemens. puff ing meditatively on his cigar. "I have q distinct recollection of it. When was a youngster I attended school at place where the use of the birch rod was not an unusual event. It was against the rules to mark the desks in any manner, the penalty being a fine oi $5 or public reinstatement.
 Happening to violate the rule on one occasion l was offered the alterna- tive. I told my father and as he seemed to think it would be too bad for me to be publicly punished. he gave me the 5. At that period of my existence $5 was a large sum, while a whipping was of little consequence. and so-'' here MT. Clemens refectively knocked the ashes from his cigar-'well." he finally added, that was how I earned my first $5 ''-Baltimore Herald.

ARCTIC CIRCLE COAL.

For some time past, more especially since the coal trouble here in the Unit ed States began-the Norwegians have been turning their attention to the large and promising coal fields on the southwest coast of SpitZbergen. Fish ermen while in these coastal waters had observed the outcrops of coal Their stories aroused interest at home and the coal fields were examined as a possible source of profit. Several com panies have been formed to carry on coal mining in these new fields and there is much confidence in Norway that the new Arctic enterprise will be profitable.
 United States consul Nilsson writes from Bergen that the coal of Spitz- bergen is finely adapted for the manu- facture of gas. The fuel burns with a high flame and is extremely com bustible. Although Spitzbergen is in the Arctic regions coal may be mined there to considerable advantage. Ir the first place it has been found that no large capital is required to start the work, as is the case in civilized coun- tries. There is no costly ground tC buy, no difficult foundations to build in the way of shafts. and as the land i is not inhabited there are no property considerations to interfere. Transpor- tation from the mines to the ships vii be inexpensive, the situation of the mines favoring the towage by rope ot railroad cars loaded at the mines. Considerable work has been done The mining engineers on the ground give their opinion that the cost of coa will not exceed $40 per ton. They say that with a force of sixty workmen | 25, 900 tons may be taken out annually The coal can be transported only in the summer but the works may be kept go 1 ing the year round.
 In Sweden some of the best stee
 making iron ores are being mined iT | large quantities many miles north O. | the Arctic circle. The only railroad
 now existing in the Arctic regions car
 ries the ore from these far northerI
 mines to the Baltic; another Scandina | vian Arctic enterprise that will giv' a busy aspect to the southern shore:
 of the Spitzbergen archipelago is likely
 soon to be well developed and as pros porous as iron mining in Arctic Swe l den.-New York Commercial.

to trade. So he completed the com mercial course in the St. Louis uni Versity, and then entered the counting room of Hanley & Kinsella. There he worked for a year but he was always in his spare moments busy with some electrical contrivance. When he was only 16 years old he discovered a way to gather the waste electricity from the Laclede car line and with it light his workshop. Then he taught himself and a house boy telegraphy and the two became expert operators. He also wired the house and rigged up all sorts of electrical contrivances. In fact he spent all his spare time at that sort of work.
 There are many high salaried posi- tions open to men who have received the degree of electrical engineer. as the field for such expert knowledge is con stantly widening. Young Kinsella could easily have stepped into one of these positions, but instead he pre- ferred to take up a much harder work at the nominal pay of $1.5O per day in order to gain a more practical knowl- edge of his life work.
 He therefore applied to the West inghouse company for enrolment among it's apprentices. There are many applications for such a position and severe test is applied before an applicant is accepted.
 Many cannot understand why after winning what would satisfy most men, he should start in apparently at the bottom and, putting on overalls and a jumper. go into the grease and dirt of a machine shop.
 But in spite of the opinion of these the young enthusiast has set himself resolutely to learn all that others can teach him in his chosen profession.- New York Commercial

LOSES TEN MILLIONS.

The United States supreme court on Monday had before it the smallest money case which probably ever has been before that tribunal Though the amount involved was 50 cents. the de- cision will require the United States government to refund from 5000, 900 to SIG, ,000, 900.
 The case was one of a 50-cent stamp demanded by the government on sa- loon keepers bond under the Spanish war revenue act, and the decision holds the stamp was illegally exacted. As saloon keepers all over the country were obliged to affix the bit of paper to every bond executed, and as many other lines of trade also have been required to secure licenses and give bonds, the qualifications of the courts finding are extraordinary.
 The suit went up from Chicago after the various state and city authorities had been threatened with arrest by the national government if they took bonds not stamped. The saloon men took exception to the rule and endeav- ored to escape from its impositions with the assistance of the courts. In March. 1899, a petition for mandamus was filed in the circuit court of Cook county to compel City Collector Bran decker to accept unstamped bonds. Judge Tuley rendered an opinion that the act of congress was unlawful inter ference with state rights and entered an order directing the city collector to accept bonds without a stamp.
 The United States government re- fused to recognize the opinion and in dicted Ambrosini, a saloon keeper who, under Judge Tuley's opinion. was con ducting business without having given stamp bond. After reverses in other courts. the case was taken to the Unit ed States supreme court, which now holds that congress has no power to exact a tax upon instrumentalities used by the state in the discharge of it's functions. The opinion was rendered by Chief Justice Fuller, who said the bond required was in the interest of the state and not of the individual who gave it, and that, therefore. it was ex- empt from taxation by congress.-Chi- cago Tribune.

the depot conducted by the Montreal branch of the Canadian Women's Art association, is now in New York, where she is studying the whole subject oe handicrafts in the United States. The Canadian association, which has branches in every city of importance in the provinces is endeavoring to develop the native industries among the women as the Deerfield and other industries have been developed in this country. The French Canadian women make rag carpets and rugs and weave homespun. Their only market for this is with the village storekeeper, who allows them credit for it, or an occasional piece 10 summer tourist. The Womans Art associate desires to furnish them with artistic designs and dyes, znd eventually use a stamp for the best work, like that used by the arts and crafts association in this country. It also wants to provide market for the work, very much on the plan of the woman's exchanges, retaining only enough of the proceeds to pay expenses. The depot in Montreal is run on this plan. The farmers wives around the
 bay of Chaleur make the best things. They manufacture a pretty rag carpet ing. which is sold for 45 cents a yard.
 Bsides the French women in Quebec there are in the Northwest colonies of Galicians. who make a fine, artistic cross stitch, something like the Bull garian embroideries. and weave both cloth and linen. The men also make pottery. hammered coppers and Rus
 sian laquer work. Throughout Canada
 are the Indian women, who retlin their primitive manufactures of baskets,
 moccasins. bead work and sometimes rugs. Indians are found within nine miles of Montreal. and from there all through the backwoods to the two | oceans. AS soon as one gets up into
 the Hudson bay country or elsewhere
 of the beaten tracks he finds excellent Indian work, which degenerates as it comes in contact with civilization.

ZEAL UNREWARDED.

A good story is told of the Russian police. who are very careful lest any literature of an atheistic character shall fall into the hands of the peas ants.
 A peasant in the province of Minsk went to a publishers shop and asked for a Bible. Unwittingly the shopman gave him an algebra primer.
 On opening the book when he reached home. the peasant was surprised to find it full of mystic signs and hiero- glyDhics. The peasant showed it to a policeman, who felt convinced that the signs were of an "eZtremely free think ing character" and so arrested the owner.
 At the trial the peasant was dis charged. and the policeman, instead of being rewarded for his religious zeal, was reprimanded.

TALK OF THE DAY

With the death of George Hull, its originator and exploiter, the Cardiff Giant most likely passes off the his toric stage altogether. It was the clev- crest humbug of it's time. Barnum, the next cleverest, offered $50 900 for an eighth interest in it, and so many doc tors of divinity were taken in by it and led into fantastic Biblical theories about it that the church at large and all it's ministers, and everybody else for that matter, ought to rejoice in it's final disappearance. Of Hull it need not be said that he builded better than he knew, but his absurd effigy, no doubt, made ten or a hundred times more noise than he expected of it.

This morning as Mrs. s. K. Williams was out making some call, she came upon narrow portion of O. K. street. and found a horse tied in the road. It was too narrow to pass around the animal so she attempted to pass under the rope and as she did so the horse kicked her violently on the shoulder, knocking her down the embankment. Her screams brought some of the neighbors to her rescue and she was carried into the residence of Mrs. Fitch and Dr. Sweet was summoned. After making an examination he found that her shoulder and arm was badly bruised and skinned. and that her face and head was badly cut and skinned, and that she had received a very se- we're shock.-Miner.

The child was in great agony and his mother could do nothing to pacify him. Re membering that she had a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm in the house, she thought she would try it. In less than half an hour after applying it the child was quiet and asleep, and in less than two weeks was well. Mrs. Ben son is a we'll known resident of Kellar, Va.
