my voice was almost chOked by the

order from you for a bottle of your

sample bottle, and took about three
doses of the medicine. To my great
relief the cough and cold had COM
pletely disappeared and l was able to
preach three times On Easter Day. i

was due to your Cough Remedy. |

Mine Drainage Planned.

Mine drainage operations in South
Staffordshire. England. by which 49,
100000 tons of coal may be won from
flooded pits, are now contemplated.
These mines have been flooded for q
quarter of a century. The coal area
has been split up into various owner
ships. and before a drainage commits
sion came into existence each owner
was supposed to pump the water from
his own pits. Some of them failed to
do this and In the end all of the pits
were abandoned. A drainage commits
sion has obtained power to pump out
the pits and has secured q loan of
$500. 900 to do 1t with. The project is
an extensive and dificult one, but
mining experts declare that it offers
no obstacles which modern engineer
ing resources are unable to conquer.
The re-starting Of the mines means a
large access OF property to a district
that stands in urgent need Of it, and
the prospect of restoring this long
abandoned industry has created great
interest in the neighborhood.

Digging Well to Drain a Bog.

An ingenious Yankee who lives on
the west coast Of Florida adopted a
novel method to drain a bog on his
plantation. He put down a four-inch
well in the middle Of his bog deep
enough to tap the water bearing grav.
el. A nice now Of water was encoun-
tered, which rose in the well nearly
to the surface. AS soon as tho top
Of the pipe was pushed down to
level with the bottom Of the bog. the
water In the pond rushed down into
the well and passed OF through sub.
terranean channels. In q few hours
the bog was drained. The land has
since been plowed and is now . valu.
able truck farm. Scientists declare
that wet lands in many sections of
the country can be drained by this
simple method. Care must be taken
not to permit the well to NIL up with
rubbish. which might impede the
ingress of the water.

upon the second step Of the stair, and
her hand half shading her eyes. The

tingling warmth came from some
where in the air-this time, this day,
this hour. this man, SO imperative,

which she had come from that of her
earlier years! She was yet so young!
Could there be something unknown,
some sweetness yet unsounded? Could
there be that rest and content which,
strive as she might. were still missing
from her life? Could there be this

Mary Ellen fed, and in her room
sat down staring in a sudden panic.
She needed to search out a certain

the Uniformed jaw, the eye betokening
