Danger Of Colds and Grip.

The greatest danger from cold and
grip II their resulting in pneumonia.
II reasonable care Is used. however,
and ChamberlAin's Cough Remedy
taken, all danger will be avoided.
Atieng the tens Of thousands who
have used this remedy for these dis
esses we have yet to learn Of a single
case having resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that 1t is a
certain preventive Of that dangerous
disease. It will cure cold or an at
tack of the grip In less time than any
other treatment. 1t is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by Strehlke

Drew, who was in command of the

line, set her afire, and sent her adrift
over Niagara Falls, was compelled to
return to England, and took the flag
with him. sss@sss t...7
Somehow it hung for about forty
years quite obscurely in the Royal
United Service institution, in White
hall, London. When this Institutions
museum was rebuilt recently the flag
was taken down and laid aside. Per
haps its space was given to trophies
and relics of more current interest,
such as the South african colors and
captured Boer emblems. BY the Kind
assistance of Gen.S Robinson, late gov
ernor of the Chelsea hospital, the re-.
quest of the board of management of
the Toronto public library was ac-
ceded to, and the flag was sent here.

IL Is Said That, Eaten Out Of Season,
They Lead to Suicide
An ingenious onicfal IN Waahington,
an assistant secretary to the district
commission, who, by way of recreation
and amusement, is o. student of til e
statistics and causation of suicide. has
reached the interesting Conclusion
that many cases of self-destruction are
due to eating strawberries out of sea-
son.
Suicide" he says, ARE more fire.
quent In the spring than at any other
time There must be some reason for
it, and some time ago Itsuggested that
strawberries were to blame. Investi-
cations l have made have confirmed
me in my opinion.
Eating strawberries out of, season
Invariably produces mental depres-
sion, and it is when people are in low
spirits that they think of suicide and
kill themseiv es..s do not believe there
would be SO many suicides if people
would not eat strawberries until they
are ripe at home

it turned up with a lot of old iron

Much That Every Woman
Desires to Know
About Sanative Antisep-
tic Cleansing
And about the Care of the Skin,
Scalp, Hair and Hands.

Too much stress cannot be placed on
the great value of Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment and Resolvent in the antiseptic
cleansing of the mucous surfaces and OF
the blood and circulating fluids, thus
affording pure, sweet and economical
local and constitutional treatment for
weakening alterations, inf1ammations,
itchings, irritations, relaxations, dis
placements, pains and irregularities
peculiar to females. Hence the Cuti-
cura remedies have q wonderful inf1u-
ence in restoring health, strength and
beauty to weary women, who have
been prematurely aged and invaded
by these distressing ailments, as well as
such sympathetic Affections as anRmia,
chlorosis, hysteria, nervousness and
debility.
Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy which have made the CuticurA
remedies the standard skin cures and
humour remedies of the civilized world.
Millions of the women use Cuticura
Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment,
for preserving, purifying and beauti-
lying the skin, for cleansing the scalp
of crusts, scales and daudruff, and the
stopping of falling hair, for softening,,
whitening and soothing red, rough and
sore hands. for annoying irritations,
and lucrative weaknesses, and for
many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves, as
well as for all the purposes of the toilet,
bath and nursery.

part now standing, but it is easy to
trace the remains of a tower and apse
Fifty years before America was dis
covered, the church, then more than
1000 years old, had a chancel, nave
and small tower with two bells. Fire
wrought havoc in it later, and in the
reign of Queen Elizabeth, James L.
Charles l., and Charles ii. the chapel
became beacon or lighthouse Struc-
tural alterations then occurred, the
principal of which was raising the
height of the walls generally, which is
clearly evident at the present day.
From beacon the chapel was degrad-
ed to a common barn, and thus. it
stands to-day, humble and forgotten,
deprived of even the glory of being
a picturesque ruin.

interesting things in England, from
an antiquarian point at least
In Essex, scarce two miles back
from the North sea, and across the
Blackwater from the catching town of
Brightlingsea, whence came most of
the members of the crew of Sham
rock I'LL, stands a small stone struc-
ture now. used as barn. Any one
can prowl about it as much as he
likes, and chip on to his hearts con-
tent the dull red bricks that appear
here and there in the stone work
Only few persons in the neighber-
hood know or care anything about the
building beyond the local tradition
that gold cups and vases and piles of
ancient coin have been dug up from
the neighboring grounds, and that
somewhere in its vicinity a priceless
golden calf is buried.
Yet the bricks that the stray Wis
itor is at liberty to carry off in his
pocket date back almost to the time
of Christ. 1t. was only few years ago
that the queer earthworks surround
ing the ancient building were identi-
fed as those of the fertilization of
Othona, mentioned in the military sur
vey of the Roman empire.
The structure now standing was
built by the Saxon missionary, Bishop
