SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.

Remedy.

When had an attack of the grip
last winter(the second one) / actually
cured myself with one bottle Of Cham
berlains Cough Remedy" says Frank
w Perry, Editor of the Enterprise.
Shortsyille, N. Y. This Is the honest
truth. at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking teaspoonful
of this remedy. and when the coughing
spell would come on on ut night would
take dose and it seemed that In the
br1efest interval the cough would pass
off and would 90 to sleep perfectly
free from cough and it's accompanying
pains. To say that that the remedy
acted as most agreeable surprise is
mildly putting it. / had no idea 1t
would or could knock ont the grip, sim
ply because had never tried it for such
q purpose, but 1t did. and it seemed
with the second attack OF coughing the
remedy caused it to not only be of less
duration, but pains were less severe.

bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me

every zone of thought, 1t is a serious
question whether we are as far ahead
of the eighteenth century as we think
we are. 1t is true that we now enjoy
advantages in higher education which
were denied all except the few in the
Georgian era, yet wnen It comes to
twisting the kings English into fantas

Chicago recently will go far toward
convincing many unprecedented minds
that, while we fail as yet to excel in
this particular line, we are at least
making satisfactory progress. The
young gentlemen, for instance. who
writes, Being a strong swimmer, he
plunged into the river and seized her

that point" is on the right track, and
by cultivating his faculty for doing
strange things with the mother tongue

cussing the irreligious tendencies Of
his age, declared: The progress OF
the times is such that little children
who can neither walk nor talk mag
be seen running about the streets

Indeed, the influence Of Sir Boyle
seems to have permeated our great
seat of learning on the Midway. for

ABOUT RADIuM.

Theodore Waters in Everybody's
Magazinc,-No one, not even Nine.
Curie, has yet seen radium in a pure
state. 1t has been possible to obtain
it so far only in combination with
other material. 1t is iudged by the
effect of its properties, which are
truly remarkable, 1t is a product of
pitchblende, which is fou.,l deep in
the earth. Most of that which has
been used for experiment came from a
mine in Bohemia. 1t is found also in
Saxony, in Cornwall and in Colorado
The quantity already found is so small
that the tigurative price of gram has
been placed at 100000 1t may be that
there are large quantities of it stored
under the surface somewhere, but the
man who found a quantity of it in a
state of anything like purity would
probably not live to tell the tale. The
particles which fly from it are charged
with electricity, and at night it
shines forth with a phosphorescence
which has been shining since the be-
ginning of all things, and which will
go on shining until the final extinction
Of all matter. A small quantity of it in
the possession of M. Curie has caused
the most painful blsters when brought
in contact with the skin. A small
particle of radium salt was sealed in a
glass tube, placed in a pasteboard box
and tied to Prof Curie's sleeve for an
hour and a half. 1t produced a sup
purating sore. which did not heal FIR
over three months. Prof. Curie thinks
that person entering a room contain
ing a pound of radium would be blind
ed, Judging by what is experienced
with grain of it a pound would ex-
hibit all the properties of the sun con-
densed into small space. No, he
would not be lucky who found pound
of radium.

FAS H 10 N S..

They are very small checks and do not
Increase the girth of the figure when
on, nor are they conspicuous even
when worn by the stout sisterhood.
The little check wears well and has
the popularity of not showing spots,
which is one of the greatest arguments
ir its favor. And by some miracle it
holds its own and looks new until
worn to rags.
Mrs. John Jacob Aston who is in
deep mourning for her mother wears
this summer a very pretty gown OF
dull silk 1t is made with the skirt
laid in box plaits. 1t is cut off at the
new pedestrian length, which Just
sweeps clear from the pavement. The
upper part is a three-quarter coat,
very tight fitting front and back and
buttoned almost up to the chin. The
throat is relieved by stock Of pure
white linen with chemisette.
Mrs. Clarence Mackey, who is also
i'm mourning, wears little black sum
mer suit, but hers is made Of very
fine cashmere. The skirt is tucked to
half way down with the tucks released
at the knees. This makes a skirt that
resembles an accordion plaided skirt.
The coat is something on the Nor
folk style, a three-quarter. with a
black leather belt half an inch wide.

Ii could only ken dear,
That you wad ma forget,
I'D silence ilka doubt dear,
An ilka vain regret.
Id ne'er let the tears come,
Or breathe wan'fu sigh,
An smiles wad chase ava the pain,
That often fingers nigh.
If | could only ken your heart,
Was always, always mine,
The clouds wad ne'er come, dear,
The sun wad always shine.

Before your face see,
If | could only ken your heart,
Was faithful unto me.
But | will trust you still dear.
An still believe you true,
For although all else should fall dear
My heart still clings to you.
