If YOU COUGH
You Should be Aware OF
More Serious Trouble.
We Will Tell You
How To Cure That
Dangerous Cough.

A cough is not much in itself, but IL
neglected il is extremely dangerous. We
want to advise you to avoid getting
coughs, or if you do how to get over
them the easiest way.
Nearly always, as You undoubte
know, a cough is accompanied by fever.
Where fever exists the vital light of life
is being consumed unnecessarily fast.
We are all much the worse after such an
attack. Then, too, that cough tears and
irritates the delicate membrane of the
throat and lungs. and when you have
succeeded in healing it, you can again
draw on your vitality, but the old scars
are there and the next little exposure
will bring back the trouble twice as bad
as YOU experienced it beforeI
We are enthusiastic about Vinol and
guarantee its action especially for coughs
for it is a great tonic reconstructor. We
do not know of anything better to build
one up. There is nothing that will re-
store lost strength and energy. that will
help the system ward off disease like
Vinol. In Vinol is contained those active
curative principles found I'm the liver of
the cod, and we all know that cod
liver oil was valuable for all bronchial
and pulmonary troubles. Vinol contains
all the curative elements of Cod Liver
oil-yet contains no oil and is delicious
to the taste. The following letter says:
al had been suffering with a severe
cough and cold for number of weeks
and having heard so much about your
Vinol, as being a cure for such troubles.
I decided to try bottle. 1 have used
two bottles and / can truthfully state
that am now entirely cured. and feel IN
better health than ever before in my
life" J. NJ Brown, 80 w. Mahanoy
St., Mahanoy City, Pa
We do not wish you to be miSled by the
fact that VinOl is delicious TO take and
therefore cannot be efficient. This Is
not the case. Were II so, we would not
be as ready as we are 10 always refund
the price OF IL to anyone who fails 20 find
Il all We claim Il TO be.

PLANS MADE TO
SAVE THE SPHINX
$4,000 WOULD PRESERVE IT INDEF-
INITELY-PARAFFIN Is RECON-
MENDED AS BEST TREATMENT.

A plan for saving the sphinx from
further injury by the elements has
been suggested by Edward NJ. Caffal
an expert on stone pTeservat ton, whose
father Robert May Caffal applied wa
terprooting material to the obelisk in
Central Park nearly 20 years ago. At q
cost of about $4,000, he thinks, the great
figure in the Egyptian sand can be
protected for an indefinite time from
the wear and tear of the sand storms
and the rains.
That the sphinx is crumbling more
rapidly than it did in previous centu-
rieS seems to be admitted, For in
stance, d. G. LOngWorth, writing in a
paper called the Cairo Sphinx, recently
pointed out the reason for this more
rapid decay. The irrigation of Egypt
has decidedly changed the climate in
the last few decades. Instead Of being
constantly dry, the sphinx now be-
comes rain-soaked for from 10 to is
days of each year The wind from the
desert "khamasscen," carrying the
sand before it, beats upon the soft
limestone of the sphinx while it is wet,
and eats it away exactly as does the
sand blast used in manufactures.
When the sand blast is used for etch-
ing on glass the parts which are not
to be affected are covered with para
fin, Mr.. Caffall believes therefore that
if the surface of the sphinx were treat
ed with paraftin, it would much better
withstand the sand storms and the
rains. EXperimentally he has found
that under a "rubbing-bed" the stone
so treated wears away only one-quar-
ter as fast as the natural stone.
The experience in treating the obelsli
here has shown just the methods that
would be necessary on the sphinx. EX-
periments which were made then at
the city's expense showed that stone
can be heated to the melting point OF
the wax, as far below the surface as 20
inches. The wax being applied with a
brush, the hot stone absOrbs it, ming
up the pores completely and excluding
moisture The obelisk, when treated
in 1855, had so disintegrated from the
frosts that $50 pounds of flakes and
chips were removed when it was being
waterproofed. In some cases flakes of
IS inches diameter and four inches
thick had become detached. In order
to fill up whatever cracks might exist
beneath the surface, a triangular tank
was used and the melted parattin fore
ed against the face of the stone by by
draulic pressure, thus entering all the
interstices and sealing the partly de-
tached fragments in their places. This
same method would probably have to
be used on the sphinx. Altogether the
operation would probably take about
two months.
Mr. CaffalI is in hopes that some ar
theological society or public-spirited
man will look into the practicability
of his plan. If the great monument is
really in danger OF destruction, and
his process will save it, he thinks that
an experiment should at least be made.
He is doubtful if the Khedive's govern
ment could be prevailed on to take an
interest in the project

MOOSE AND LOCOMOTIVES.
The Usual Result Of Their Coming To-
gether.

gether.
The spunky and stubborn bull moose
has again been defying the locomotive
in Maine, with the usual disastrous re-
sults-to the moose. This time a whole
moose family was wiped out in about
ten seconds, making a great waste of
big game and lot of work for the sec
ton men.
1t was on Tuesday last that the en-
gineer of a freight train on the Bangor
and ArOOstoOk road, as his locomotive
rounded a sharp curve on a down
grade, saw on the track a few rods
ahead three moOSe-a big bull, COW
and a calf He sounded the whistle,
expecting to see the whole family make
break for the woods but they stood
their ground, and the bull, with a
snort of defiance, braced himself for
the combat, swinging his great antler-
ed head as though he expected to toss
the locomotive skyhigh.
The Shrek of the whistle sent men
SQUIRTING over the tops of the cars, set
ting brakes, while the engineer had the
brakes on locomotive and tender clamp
ed up so tightly that the wheels were
sliding and smoking over the rails.
The speed of the train and its mOmen-
tum were too great, however, to be oV-
erCOme in the short distance, and down
swept the fast freight upon the heroic
moose family There was a crash and
crunching under the wheels, while
blood spattered over the boiler head,
and fragments of moose went whirling
through the air.
When, a few rods further on, the
train was brought to a stop it was
found that all three of the moose had
been killed the Carcasses Of the COW
and the calf being thrown some dis
Etance from the track, while the carcass
of the bull had been ground under the
wheels. At the next station the sec
ton boss was informed and a crew
was sent back to bury the moose fam
! lily. The men said that the bull was a
mOnster-one of the largest ever seen
| along the line of the AroostOok road.
| a few days ago a train on the Inter-
! colonial railway ran a race with a big
moose which was promenading the
/ track near Dalhousie Junction. The
moose ran for half a mile or more at
| surprising speed, and then, finding that
! the footing was bad on the ties, left
the track and ran along in the ditch.
Here the animal tried to jump a high
wire fence, but stuck half way over
and hung there while the train came
up. One of the passengers says that
! the moose looked puzzled and ashamed
when the train passed him.-New York
! Tribune.
