How to Prevent Group.

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarse- ness. A day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by pecul- jar rough cough. Give Chamber lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Green Forest Drug Go.

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR GREEN FOREST

Green Forest people never faced more encouraging condi- tions, both country and town, than are everywhere evident at the present time. The lethargy that followed lover production" is now paling far into the distance, and general revival spirit is manifested on every hand.
 No other community has made greater strides the past several months toward the material de- yelopment of the country. Many orchards of both the apple and the peach have been planted and liberal attention has been given the subject of raising berries and other things that command a certain and profitable market; ]; and indications are good enough now that the coming year will double, if not trible, the present acreage of fruits.
 If 1t is seasonable next year. many of our progressive fruit men will be able to realize upon their first crop of Elbertas and d taste of the splendid profits that come from a crop of peaches will certainly give impetus to peach growing, and it will surely follow that thousands of acres of peaches will be planted as soon as the work can be accomplished.
 The Reeves cannery, with it's capacity of 10000 cans per day, (which can be doubled by operat- ing day and night, if necessary is already here, and it's value to the community has been demon- strated. This enterprise is of itself worth the prestige given a town by the location of the county seat multiplied by two. It will as certainly bring in thousands of dollars of clean profit to the country every year as it con tinues to be operated, and there Is nothing now that is calculated to hinder in the least.
 The businesses of the town were never on more substantial foot ing than at the present time. Old merchants are reaching out and new ones are coming in. The man who complains of poor trade is the exception.
 Next summer, we are assured,

Old-Time "Cold Suaps.n

Those who think that billiards and ex-

tinuing intolerably severe, streets of booths
were set upon the Thames: the air was so
very cold and thick. as of maiIy years there
had not been the like.

people and tents, selling all sorts of wares
oath. The frost continuing more and more

seas SO locked up with ice that no vessels
could stir outoer. come in. The fowls. fish
and birds, and all exotic plants and green's
universally perishing. Many parks Of deer
were destroyed, and all sorts of fuel so
dear that there were great contributions to
preserve the poor alive. London. by
reason of the excessive GOODNESS of the air
hindering the ascent of the smoke, was so
filled with the fuliginous steam Of the sea-
coal that hardly could one see across the
streets, and this filling the lungs with its
gross PARTICLES exceedingly obstructing the

Here was no water to be had from the

The Face and the Collar.
From the Pittsburg Gazette.

Men who do not want to look any fatter
in the face than they can help have an
easy means of accomplishing their purpose.
Not all of them are aware Of the effect that
may be created by the form Of a collar or
cravat.
The stout man who wants to look as
thin as he can." said the haberdasher's
clerk. Ought to wear a tie of the kind
known as a four-in-hand. Preferably it
should be dark in color and drawn tight.
That carries down the line of the face and
lengthens 1T to degree that tends to make
the face look thinner. Another aid to MAX
Ing man look thin is in the height of his
collar Stout men who want to look thin
should wear high collars and closed ones
Any collar that opens in front makes one
look stouter under nearly every circum-
stance. Such collars are becoming to the
thin men.
THE fat man should avoid the kind OF
tie that has horizontal effect. This will
add pounds to his appearance-in his face
at least. On the contrary, this cross effect
will make the thin man look stout The
broad plastron scarfs as they are called,
have little effect on mans looks one way
or the other. When he wears them it is
the collar that makes the difference He
should therefore, see that he wears high
one that does not open If he wants to look
as thin as possible, whereas if he wants to
seem stouter an open collar will produce
that effect for him.

HAVE SHORT NAMES.
A Fact About the Members Of the
Cabinet

The present cabinet is made up of men
with shorter names than any set Of cabinet
officials in many years. Five Of the nine
advisers of the President bear names Of
only one syllable each These are Secre-
taries Hay, Root, Shaw. Postmaster Gen
eral Payne and Attorney General Knox.
Secretary Moody has not long name:
neither has Secretary Wilson, Secretary
Hitchcock has nine letters and two sylla-
bles in his name Secretary Cortelyou has
nine letters and three syllables. His Is the
hardest of all the cabinet names to pro-
nounce. All the others are plain. The
predecessors of these men, however, did
not have long names. and If the letters of
all the men who Immediately preceded them
were put together the results would be
almost the same as at present-in fact, just
one letters difference. Secretary Hay sue

HIGH PRICES PREVAILED
In Richmond During the Closing Days

When hear a friend of mine complain
Of prices on the bill of fare of any high
toned hotel restaurant tell him he ought
to have lived In the south during the clos

had to carry basketful of money to buy
enough meats and vegetables for family
dinner. And it was the same way If you
took your best girl to supper after the the
alter. In looking over some old documents
the other day I came across a price list Of
articles served by the old Oriental res
taurant at Richmond. The prices that pre-
vailed. then seem worse than robbery now
to those not acquainted with the then exist
ing conditions. For instance plate of
soup cost just $1.50. Think of that! And it
wasn't green turtle SOUP For order OF
turkey or chicken you were taxed $3.50.
while for roast beef you paid SO an order.
If you had an appetite for rockflsh you
could get a plate of it for IS. Fried oysters
also commanded the same price. Pure cof-
fee was So per cup. pure tea 50 and fresh
milk 50. Bread and butter was worth $3.50
per order. The cheapest articles on the list
were cabbage and potatoes; an order OF
either cost 81. Ham and eggs was a popu-
lar dish at $3.50. A dozen on the half shell
brought IS. But 1t was the drinkables that
brought fancy prices cold bottle of
champagne or Madeira cost $50. sherry

brandy was So. while rye whisky and apple
brandy were dispensed over the bar or at
the table for 50 drink. Havana cigars.

those days we heard nothing of beef trust
or whisky trust. When you consider the
service given by the leading hotels of the
country and the amount of money invested
by the companies that own them I think
the prices of today are reasonable, and that

Artistic Wall Paper.
From the Wall Paper News.

me artistic side OF the manufacture of
wall paper Is the development of a very
recent period. In this development different
manufacturers and designers have had
nand- Some OF these are living today and
deserve all honor for their labors II any
one man has had more to do with this work
than any other, that man was William
Morris. When William Morris first entered
upon his work there was very little that
was artistic In wall paper: when he finished
his work wall paper was a thing of beauty
and JOY forever. The period in which
Morris worked lay between the years 1856
and 1885, Thus the influence Of William
Morris was SO recent as to be almost pres
emit with us today, and It Is not too much
to say that not a line Of wall paper Is
manufactured in this country OF in England
that does not show marked traces Of his
taste and originality.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Planting a few trees every fall OF
spring, as may be convenient keeps ur
the supply Of fruit.
The American persimmon makes
handsome tree ornamentally consider
ed. 1t has dark green leaves that re
main on late in the fall.
Carnations do not thrive In the shade
and will not tolerate the presence OF
rank manure. They are easily grown
in any good garden soil.
One secret of getting flowers from
potted plants Is to let them get pot
bound. When a plant can no longer
keep on growing, it turns Its energies
toward producing flowers.
BY yearly attention to pruning and
by good feeding a shrub may be re-
newed from season to season and kept
always strong. Old and weak wood
should always be removed.
Ammonia is plant stimulant, not
food. While it is useful to force plants
into bloom and growth after the soil IL
exhausted, fertilizer must be applied
or the plant will use up its own vital
ity in bloom.

PRIMITIVE PUMPS.
The Mechanism Used In Ancient
Egypt and In China.

The Mechanism Used In Ancient
Egypt and In China.
A representative piece of mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures of
early Egypt. 1t has the appearance OF
and is generally believed to be that OF
a portable pump. The hydraulic screw
Is also attributed to this people, but
their main reliance seems always TO
have been to shadoof, seen every
where along the banks of the Nile, an
invention so simple and so well adapt
ed to their needs that 1t remains today
substantially the same at it has been
through all the centuries since history
began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China, an invention the
origin of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon, Is
In such common use that every agricul-
tural laborer is In possession of one.
Where irrigation Is conducted on lar
ger scale the chain pump Is made pro-
portionately larger and moved by a
very simple tread wheel, and still lar
ger ones are operated by yoking a buff
falo or other animal to suitable driv-
ing machine.
The application of steam to raising
water is OF uncertain origin. Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
tions of fire to vessels containing wa
ter, by which effects were produced
calculated to astonish ignorant wor-
shippers, were practiced by the priests
of Egypt, Greece and Rome, but their
knowledge seems never to have been
turned into any channel Of secular use

Antiouity Of the boomerang

The boomerang, the Australian ma
tives weapon of offense and defense
referred to in all reference works as an
instrument unknown until after the
discovery Of Australia, was doubtless
known before the time Of Christ. Pliny
the elder, a contemporary Of our Sa'
viour, writes as follows in his Natural
History" respecting an instrument
made of the wood Of the aquifolia:
"If a staff made Of this wood. when
thrown at an animal, from want OF
strength In the Rerson throwing falls
short of the mark, 1t will come back
toward the thrower of its own accord,
80 remarkable are the properties OF
that tree"
1t is altogether probable that the
learned Pliny did not consider the
shape of the "staff" and referred its pc
cuIiarities to the nature Of the wood OF
which 1t was made.
