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. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t
has been FULLY demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have to
contend with, can be prevented by the
use OF Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip)
and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency OF
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this rem
edy 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 sud,
denly discovered that there is fever
md difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced that
he patient has pneumonia. Be on the
safe side and take Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For

The space required for this Expos
ition comprises 1,240 acres, and is
about two miles long and one wide
The greatest amount of space neces-
sary for any previous Worlds Fair
was 633 acres use by the Columbian

100000. The greatest cost of an
prior Exposition was s1S,300,000 for
the Columbian Exposition at Chicago

Prodigal with Labor.

The reckless prodigality with which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
iquandered away the labor and lives of
the people is perfectly startling. In this
'espect, as the monuments yet remain
ing abundantly prove, they stand alone
and without rival. We may form some
idea of the almost incredible waste when
we hear that 1000 men were occupied
for three years in carrying single
stone from Elephantine to Sais, that the
canal of the Red sea alone cost the lives
Of 10000 Egyptians, and that to build
one of the pyramids required the labor
of 360, 900 men for 20 years.

race which inhabits the southernmost
province Of Chilli. 1t consists of the
cast-off shell of a crab. The dead shell
is white in fair, dry weather, but the
approach Of a moist atmosphere is in

increases, the shell becomes entirely
red, and remains so throughout the
