Congratulations.

Mr.. John 81. Callion, Editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written
letter of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chsmberlain's Cough
Remedy as follows: Sixteen years
ago when our first child was baby
he was subject to croupy spells and
We would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such
q reliable remedy for colds and Group,
we have never been without it in the
house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of
them with good results. One good
feature ct this remedy is that it is
not dissgreeable to take and our
babies really like it. Another is that
it is not dangerous, and there is no
risk from giving an overdose. I con-
gratulate you upon the success of
your remedy" For sale by The

There never was a spring when
there was such demand for pigeons.
Personally, I sold every bird could
spare long ago, and I hear from all
the old fanciers that the demands on
their lofts have been the same. In
fact I was unable to get some odd
cocks I needed in this country, and
have some on the way from Scotland,
much as I dislike to import.
In the lodge room We say "be care
ful how you vote" but in the loft, the
great thing is "be careful how you
mate" II "a pair did badly last sea-
son, don't waste another on them.
Better take chances again with a
mating that may not look so we'll but
will turn out infinitely better.
Have plenty of grit, shelle, egg
shells and those things in the loft.
Birds can't produce egg shells out of
a bare floor and plain food, and the
consequence will be soft shells. This
is particularly the case with the first
pair of eggs.
Keep little salt in the loft all the
time. Put it in a small, shallow box
and let it cake. It is as necessary as
water. 3.

WHEN WOMAN GETS A VOTE.

According to the ''Antis" all ma
ture will be subverted, and many
curious things will happen if wo-
men are ever given the right to
vote.
Wives will neglect their homes
and families, and spend all their
time voting.
Although elections rarely occur
more than once a year and under
the Australian ballot limit five
minutes is the time allowed for cast
ing a vote.
Women will cease to marry.
Although men have voted for
centuries and nobody ever heard of
their politics interfering with their
hearts.
Families will be disrupted over
rival candidates and party issues.
Although they say that every wife
will vote just like her husband.
Divorces will increase, and hus-
bands and wives be separated by
reason of political arguments.
Although husbands and wives of
different religions live peaceably to-
gether.
Lewd women will out vote the
good women.
Although the good women are
millions in the majority.
Women will be subjected to in.
suits by men at the polling place.
Although they will meet there the
men of their own district and whom
they are in the habit of meeting
socially every day.

GERMAN RAILROAD EXHIBIT.

The German Government Rail
road exhibit which shows the block
system and switch signals now in
Germany is attracting great atten
ton from visitors to the Worlds
Fair. More than I, 500 feet of track.
In the construction of which both
iron aud wooden ties were used
have been laid. There is a station
house, two switch towers, and one
intermediate block signal post. One
Of the towers is fitted with mechan-
zeal and one with electric signal
apparatus. The block system makes
1t impossible for a train TO run into
an open switch, or for one train to
run down another between stations.
The double track system prevents
collisions. BY means of electrical
apparatus, all switches except the
one opening the desired track. are
locked, making an error on the part
of a switchman impossible. AS the
wheel Of the train passes, the swift
ches ale all released by rail contact.
making way for the next train.
At intervals of about seven miles
are placed intermediate block posts
with a similar signal and switch
apparatus. By automatic arrange
ment the levers are all locked so
that one train cannot leave the sta
ton until the train ahead has passed
the next post, thus preventing one
train from running down another.
Al! the material used in construc-
ton was brought from Germany.
