JUDGE PARKER IS THE MAN Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It has been fully demonstrated that pneu- monia, ono of the most dangerous diseases that medical msn have 10 contend with, can be prevented by the use oi Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re- suits from cold or rom ap at. tack of influenza or (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy eounteracts any tendency of the disease toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great pre- salence of colds aud grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit conf. dence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is sudden. ly discovered that there is lever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest. then it is an. nounced that the patient has pnea- monia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Rene. dy as soon as the cold is contract. ed. It always cures. For sale by Brown, MeQuiston < Go.

Throwing Rice at Weddings

Like roast pig, the origin Of throwing
rice at weddings is Chinese, and the
legend is scarcely less worthy of
Charles Lamb: "a famous sorcerer
named Chao became Jealous Of the
power Of another sorcerer, woman,
and, conceiving a plan to destroy her,
he persuaded her parents to bestow her
upon his supposed son. The crafty
Chao chose the most unlucky day for
the wedding, the day when the Golden
Pheasant was in the ascendant, so that
when the bride entered the red chair
the spirit bird would destroy her with
his powerful beak. But Peachblossom
gave directions to have rice thrown out
at the door, and she passed out IN

One Of the greatest curiosities Of the
Panama isthmus is the vegetable silk
tree. 1t Is a plant that grows from
fifteen to twenty feet high, and in ap

other trees, but the inner bark is per
feet silky fiber, long, smooth and
strong. The natives separate 1t by

Gagged Birds Live Longest.

Many people declaim against the
cruelty of keeping birds in cages, but
it is a we'll proved truth that cage birds
live about six times as long as a wild
bird, and the bird invariably becomes
so fond of its owner and its surround
ings that when the cage is thrown open
it will not fly away. 1t suffers so little
from solitude that if a prospective
mate is introduced 1t hits her on the
head at first for her impudence in dar-
ing to intrude into a private apart
