before this always had a severe time, lasting two
or three days, and never was able to do any
work for about two months afterward. Now I
am doing all the work for four children. My
friends say look better now than ever before.
We told one of my sisters to take Favorite
Prescription which she did, and when her
child was born the time of suffering was very
short. She has better health now than since
her marriage some years ago. We cannot

LOOK OUT
For CoIds-la Grippe (!

Protect yourself, and don't trust to
Providence. Considering the harm
done, neglect" before and after taking
a cold is a physical crime. You may
prevent u cold, or, if too late, you can
insure yourself against the "after ef-
ects," for there is the greatest danger,
by using DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic. Few
die from Colds, or La Grippe, or Ca
tarrh. They die Of the after effects.
These diseases all weaken, and to a
weakened body come flocking host OF
diseases that fasten on weak lungs,
heart, stomach, kidneys, and other
weak parts that we seldom think of.
The easiest and best thing to do is to
fortify the system so that you will not
catch cold, but il too late to do that,
then you must see that no lasting in
Jury is done. Medical authorities all
agree that iron is the fighting element OF
the blood enabling the system not only
to ward of disease, but to fight it after

TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS.

The snow last week drifted very heavily
in Bnrkes Garden. At number of
points it drifted into the roads and lanes
to such an extent as to make them inn
passable. The main road between Kellys
store and Goodman's store is filled with
snow as high as the fences, and it may be
some weeks before that part of the road
can be travelled.
A dispatch appeared in the daily papers
of the State on the 18th and 14th inst,
which was sent from Tazewell, stating that
the Graham Iron Company had been
placed IN the hands of receivers, and that
Mr.. Walter Graham had been asked by
the stockholders to resign his position as
general manager. This is untrue. The
term of office of Mr.. Graham as general
manager ceased, and upon the reelection
of officers, Mr.. Graham was not reelected,
nor his place filed, other than the APP
pontment of Mr.. A. J. May, Jr., as tenn
porary general manager. We are informed
that the company is in hourishing condi-

SKIING IN AMERICA.
Americans Are backward I'm Many OF
the Best Winter Sports and
Miss n Lot of Fun.

It is a mistake to suppose that ski
ing can be enjoyed only by our Can
adam friends, says Country Life in
America. Everyone who lives in a
hill country where there is any snow
at all should try this exciting pas
time. A pair of skis and a pole cost
about dollar and a half. The run
ners are usually six or seven feet
long, about four inches wide, and the
pole may be ten or twelve feet in
length. On account of the small ex-
pense and informal nature of the
sport, skiing is just the thing for those
parts of the United States where the
winter is essentially changeable sea-
son. Some sports may demand a
steady winter; skiing does not. In
certain parts of the United States ski
ing has already Caught on" For ex-
ample, a good many of the Cornell
students carry their skis to the class
room and slide home on them. In the
mining camps of the upper Michigan
the Swedes and Norwegians come fly
ing down their race-courses, shoot off
a sort of spring-board, rise to thrill
ing height and achieve an astonishing
leap before they tumble into the wait
ing snowbank. But the ski is a good
thing for everyday use and fun. One
can pole along on the level fairly well
in almost any kind or depth of snow,
and on a crust skis are quicker than
snow-shoes. Skis cost less than a
good pair of skates or a good bob
Sled. and they furnish a novel meth
cd of sliding down hill. 1t is easy to
learn. Two or three tumbles do the
business. If you get one foot well
ahead of the other you are certainly
a "goner." The man who leans back
is likely to have a laughable mix
up." 1t is best to stand erect, or
crouch forward so as to brace one
self. The pole is trailed behind and
used to steer by.
The people of the United States are
provincial in the matter of winter
sports. We have been missing "a lot
of fun" and it is high time that we
look to skiing.

During the nineteenth century Lon

eight fold. New York increased from
10000 to $500, OO0-nearly 60 fold. Lon
don is now increasing II per cent. in
decade, and New York 35 per cent, OF
twice as fast. If this rate should hold
good for so years more, New York
would have over 100000 population
and be a million ahead of London.
The three balls, the sign of the pawn
brokers in this country and Great
Britain, are derived indirectly from the
coat-of-arms of the Medici family OF
Florence, Italy. The family sprang
from physician, medicus; it became
wealthy through transacting a bank
ing business for many years. and when
it became noble it adopted five golden
pills on blue ground as it's armOrial
device. Bankers in other countries
adopted the same device, either in
whole or in part, as a sign Of their
business; and when bankers gave up
the pawnbroking business the pawn
brokers retained the old Florentins
device.
When New York was young tower
clock was built in the tiny steeple OF
a little church that then stood at the
corner of Beekman and Cliff streets.
That was nearly two centuries ago, but
the clock is still ticking away and keep
ing just as good time as ever It's hands
are not as artistic and gorgeous as
those that point the time in many OF
the tower clocks to-day. They were
made by Simeon Willard, who ham
mered them out of rough iron at lit
tie blacksmith forge in the woods near
Boston. Not only the hands, but the
whole clock was made out of the same
rough material, and to this day it
shows evidence of the crudest kind OF
workmanship. It's scape wheel is much
worn now, yet from all appearances
it is still good for another century,
and the regularity of its movement is
almost perfect, putting modern clocks
to shame.

manifesto which abolished serfdom in
Russia, and thus gave liberty to %, OOO,-
600 of his subjects. However long 1

had signed it. He expressed the wish
that the room should remain just as it
was. For 40 years nobody touched
this sacred spot. But now, by order
of the czarina, all the documents and

lumber room. The Imperial library in
st. Petersburg has taken steps to have
at least the historical documents saved.

HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
A Street Car Conductor who Was Not
Fully Up to the Requirements
of His Passenger.

The conductor on the street car is
theoretically responsible for the lives
and comfort of all his passengers. No
matter how crowded the car, he is sup
posed to see every signal for the car
to stop, and the company expects him
to collect every fare and say please"
when he asks for it. Worse than that,
he is supposed by some passengers,
like the one who figures in this story
from the Chicago Tribune, to know
everything. She was an elderly wom-
an in a youthful hat, and as she paid
her fare, she said:
Conductor, want to get off at the
street Mrs. Rebecca Isinglass lives on
I've forgotten the name of it, but
there's drug store on the corner kept
by man named Johnson"
81 don't know any such woman,
ma'am," replied the conductor, land
we pass 40 corners where there are
drug stores"
But it's in this part of town, and she
lives in a two-story brick about six
doors from the corner. She's woman
with a double chin, and she always
travels on this line"
81 don't doubt that, ma'am, but l
don't know where she lives or any
thing about her."
81 think that's mighty strange.
She's got sister that teaches in the
Kershaw school, and I've told you the
kind of house She"
"I'm sorry, but don't know thing
about her, ma'am. You'll have to tell
me the name of the street or"
Seems to me the street car company
ought to employ conductors that know
something. If you can't tell me where
to get off, give me my money back and
I'll take some other car"
81 can't do that. I've rung up your
fare"
"Going to cheat me out of my nickel,
are you?"
Certainly not, ma'am. If you had
told me where you wanted to stop"
81 did tell you, sir. If you didn't
know where to let me off, you ought to
have said so. told you the name of
the woman I'm hunting told you
about the drug store, described the
house she lives in so plain that nobody
can miss it, and told you it was in
this part of town. What more do you
want?"
Nothing, ma'am," said the con-
ductor, weakening. Heres your
nickel I'll pay it out of my own
pocket. You're too many for me-"
He gave her a coin, rang the signal to
stop, and his passenger got off at the
next crossing, where she stationed
herself to wait for a car with a more
intelligent conductor.

A little church in Pennsylvania recently
celebrated the one thousand millionth
minute since Christ's coming to earth. In
an article on "Pierpont Morgan, His Ad-
visers and His Organization, John Bris-
ben Walker mentions that Mr.. Rockefeller
is popularity supposed to control one thous'
and million dollars, and that one thousand
million dollars would represent the labor
of ten thousand men since Christ's
coming to earth, calculated at the average
scale of wages paid during the past two
thousand years. In the same number Of
The COSMOPOLITAN, very interesting
calculation is made as to what the one
thousand millions could accomplish in the
hands of thoroughly ambitious man.
The Chicago House Furnishing Com
pany, at Graham, Va, suffered very
heavy loss on last Sunday. The company
has recently erected a handsome brick
building and had it filled with a valuable
stock of goods. During the heavy rain
fall on Sunday the roof of the building
sprung leak, and the water poured in so
heavily that it accumulated or the first
floor until it was shoe-mouth deep. There
was no one in the building while this was
going on, and, as consequence, the stock
was very seriously damaged, especially the
large line of carpets which had been lately
purchased, and some handsome suits Of
furniture. The loss is estimated at about
three thousand dollars.
