1t makes the present generation smile
TO read the accounts which have come
down to us concerning the preiudices
which were formerly entertained against
certain articles which are now of ev.
eryday consumption.
For instance, 1t is said that when coal
was first used in England the preiu-
dice against it was so strong that the
house of commons petitioned the king
TO prohibit the use of the "noxious"
fuel.
A royal proclamation having failed to
abate the nuisance, a commission was
issued to ascertain who burned coal
within the city of London and its neigh
borhood, to punish them by fines for
the first Offense and by tine demolition
OF their furnaces if they persisted in
transgressing. A law was finally pass
ed making it a capital offense to burn
coal in the city and only permitting it
TO be used by forges in the vicinity. 1t
Is stated that among the records in the
IOwer of London a document was
found according to which a man was
hanged in the time of Edward |. for
no other crime than having been
caught burning coal. 1t took three
centuries to entirely efface the preiu-

There was nothing giddy about Miss
Nancy Messmore, aged thirty-twO, an
old maid and the aunt and legal guard
ian of Miss Bessie Haplin. aged nine
teen. Bessie had never fallen in love
with a penniless count, consented to
elope with the family cOachman or
given her heart to a college student
acting as waiter at a summer hotel,
but for all this she was supposed to
be giddy. Strict discipline was needed
at all times, but more particularly
when the couple had settled down at
a Catskill hotel to spend the month
Of July.
The girl was attractive and ingenu-
Gus, and she couldn't help meeting
young men, who soon became smitten.
But it was Miss Messmores duty in
public and Aunt Nancy's duty in pri-
vate to set a dead line beyond which
the most ardent captive should pass at
his peril. If there was a little eXcur-
sion to a cave or a gorge, she was on
hand; If there was music in the parlOr,
she sat where she could gaze into the
face of the young man turning over
the music at the piano; if there was a

When Miss Bessie rebelled, she was
answered:
II must do my duty. Every girl of
your age is foolish and needs to be
carefully watched"
Bessie flung herself down on the he'd
TO weep rebellious tears and wish she
hadn't come. There was an unusually
large number of young men at the re-
Sort but, with the Argus eyes of her
guardian following her about. she
couldn't even drop her handkerchief
on the veranda without coming in for
a lecture.
She mad her revenge, for the unex-

Claude Bertrand lisped out the words.
Aunt Nancy was not surprised. She
had felt it coming, yet simply didn't
know what to say in reply. Years be-
fore she had made up her mind never
to wed, but when the words Of love
were lisped out softly she was torn
with conflicting emotions. She got out
OF 1t by reServing her answer for n

how he was to exist for seven long
days, he finally agreed.
On the next evening a hon was given

Cod liver oil has most always

prove a real bodybuilding tonic

Paying the Piper.
QUELQUEFoIs.

As everybody expected would be the
case, the gold mines of the Rand dis
trict will be compelled to pay some OF
the debt caused by the Boer war. It
has been arranged by Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain that the mine own
ers will pay Sl50,0O0,000 outright, and
meet the interest on $50, 100000 more.
Of course, the sums which the mines
will furnish to the British treasury
will not go a great way toward meet
ing the aggregate outlay, which was in
the neighborhood of 81, 100, 900, 0o0, but
they will, in slight degree, at least,
relieve the British taxpayer.
1t is well for the mine owners, for
the British government and for the
Beers themselves that the settlement
has been made. 1t was felt all along
that the mines would be heavily assess
ed for the expense of the war. This
has been hanging like cloud over the
prospects of the mining industry and
checking in large degree the efforts
of those who have been endeavoring
to restore business to the conditions
prevailing before the war began. Now
that the miners know their fate, they
will be able to adjust themselves to the
situation quickly and industry will be
nushed

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being Civ
en- to the subject. 1t is easier and bet
ter to prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to contend
with, can be prevented by the use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of influenza grip, and
it has been observed that this remedy
counteraets any tendency of these dis
eases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven in many thousands
of cases in which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence of
colds and grip in recent years, and can
be relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
