 pr Charles H. Utter, a prominent physician, of Panama, Colombia, in a recent letter states: "Last March l had as patient young lady l6 years of age, who had very bad attack of dysentery. Everything 1 prescribed for her proved intellectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her par ents were sure she would die. She had become so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a study for me, but thought of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected.

Not every one has the chance to travel, but the next best thing to trav- cling much is to have others travel for you; and if others travel for you, you
 want them to select the points of greatest interest, for you can hardly see everything. Two places of greater interest, in this country at least, could hardly be found than Mount Vernon and the Congressional Library at Washington. The first is one of the finest of the old Colonial mansions and of course possesses unfailing inter- est as the home of our first President; the second is the most beautiful build ing in this country and the finest civic building in the world. To see these views is almost as good as seeing these places themselves. The lecturer is Miss Bassett Wooster of Washington, D. o.; the date is Tuesday evening, August 18th at 8 o'clock; the place is the Congregational church; and the proceeds are to go toward the support of the Gospel wagon, than which more worthy object could scarcely be thought of. The admission will be 9 cents for adults and 15 cents for chil- dren under F years of age.

THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES.
One of the Ancient Seven Wonders
of the World.


The ancients succeeded in making
that alloy of copper which Is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders OF
the world was the famous statue, Who'll
ly made OF bronze, historically known
as the colossus of Rhodes. 1t repre-
sented Phnbus, the national deity of
the Rhodians. 1t was begun by Chares,
a pupil of Lysippus, the sculptor, and
was completed by Laches 2SS B. G..
The popular belief Is that 1t stood
astride the harbor of Rhodes. that 1t
was 105 feet high and that ships could
easily sail between its legs.
Pllny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t was cast on metal plates
afterward Joined together, and this
interior was a spiral staircase reach-
ing into its head, and In great mirror
suspended to its neck were reflected
the coast of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After 1t had stood for slXtyfour
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake, and its remains lay on
the shore for 023 years-that is until
A. ID. 6T2-when they were sold by the
Saracens to Hebrew dealer. The
original cost was 300 talents-say, &c.
OOO,000-and 1t Is not too much to say
that similar image might be con-
structed now In one-fourth of the time
and at one-third of the original cost.
Rhodes, by the way, must have had
colossus on the brain. for Pllny relates
that the port was adorned with 1000
colossal statues of the sun.
