Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
case for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A ply
stefan should always be called. 1t
should be borne in mind, however,
that pneumonia always results from a
cold or from an attack of the grip, and
that by giving Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy the threatened attack of pneu-
monia may be warded off. This remedy
is also used by physicians in the treat
ment of pneumonia with the best re-
suits. DR.. WI Smith, Of Sanders, Ala,
who is also a druggist, says of it: 81

BANQUET at the Beachwood.

The political excitement was empha-
sized last Saturday night and the new
movement shaped itself into formida-
BILE opposition TO the continuance in
the Mayors office of the present incum-
bent, Frank Il. Smith. The leaders of
the Republican ticket gave a banquet
at the Beachwood hotel on Montgomery
avenue, at which 100 representative
citizens gathered as the guests of the
nominees to discuss the choice menu as
served by Minehost Kurtz and also the
tough problem of municipal govern
ment. Covers were laid for 80 and
those present not fortunate enough 10
secure seats at the first tables secured
vantage points to hear the speeches
rumored to follow. w. II. Bright as
toastmaster explained the object of the
meeting and closed with a plea for a
hearty cooperation for the success OF
the ticket. VIM. L. Garrison was next
introduced and in a few remarks de-
fined his attitude toward the evils eX-
listing, and among other things called
attention to the condition of Pacific
avenue as a sample of the lack of effec-
tive work in forcing the trolley COM
pany TO make good the road used by
them. Harold b. Woolston and Mar
tin Long followed and spoke briefly 10
the point. Mr.. Long created the first
burst of enthusiasm in the glowing
tribute he paid the head of the ticket
as being good and the tail as still a
wagging. Carl Haswin spoke efiec-
lively and to some purpose in a thirty
minute speech brim full of reform pol
itics and a forceful arraignment OF the
past administration. The frequent in
terruption of applause did not annoy
the speaker, who reviewed the history
of the borough for twenty years and
aimed to show the dwarfed and back
ward influence on the borough caused
by narrow and bigoted politics. Mr..
Haswin sat down amid hearty applause
and the tables were quickly vacated to
make room for the second instalment
of diners and the banquet continued
until near midnight.

KOREA, THE BONE OF CONTENTION
BETWEEN russia AND JAPAN.

Why Both Nations Are Anxious to
Advantages That Would Accrue to
Them-Emperor vi Hung.
Korea, the real bone of contention be-
tween Japan and Russia, as it was be-
tween China and Japan in the war of
1S94-95, is certain to be the scene of
much fighting If there is to be war in
the far east. Meanwhile neither of the
threatening nations seems to care what
the Koreans or their emperor thinks of
the situation.
Korea is an Asiatic kingdom lying to
the northeast of China, between the
fellow and Japan seas. 1t is about 600
miles long from north to south. 1876
miles from east to west. with an area
Of about $4,000 square miles. The pop

Buddhism grated on spirit and an
cestor worship may be said to be the
religion of the country. The people
are tall, robust and good looking and
belong to Monaghan stock. their IAN
guage being Turanian, with the addi-
ton of many Chinese words. They
are idle and unprogressive, so that
the commerce of the country is falling
into the hands of the Japanese and
the Chinese. The soil is fertile, but
only partially cultivated. Rice, beans
and all kinds of grain are raised; also
tobacco, hemp and cotton. Gold, cop
per, coal and iron abound.
1t is a hermit nation, with a history
said to reach back 1000 or 5000 years,
and from the earliest known times Ko-
rea has always protested against the
presence of foreigners in her territory.
This is the country toward which the
fighting men of Japan and Russia are
reported to be Fastening with the ex-

railway system and the future crops Of
Siberia. If Japan car seize Korea she
will have a foothold on the mainland
of Asia and the only possible outlet for
the immense population and growing
industries of her islands.
1t is pretty well understood that ia
pan is more interested in securing the
possession of Korea than in forcing
Russia out of Manchuria, so that if
there is to be a conflict the first stage
of it will take place on the Korean pen
insula. 1t is not impossible, however,
that the war vessels of the two powers
will open the fight in an attempt to in
tercept troopships. In a naval war on
the Korean coast Japan would have a
great advantage. She has surveyed
and charted the vast Korean archipela-
go, and its thousands of islands would
afford a safe refuge for her feet. No
foreign warship would dare to enter

In Alaska even dogs wear shoes-a,

account Of the cold, for a shaggy Es-

The dog does all the work of drag
ging and carrying. which in the coun-
try falls TO the horses. and in trot-
ting over the rough ice Of the noun

bruised and sore. Then his driver
makes him soft little moccasins of
buckskin or reindeer skin, and ties
them on with stout thongs of leather.
In this way he will travel easily, un-
til his feet are thoroughly healed up;
then he bites and tears his shoes with
his sharp. wolflike teeth. and eats
them up.-New England Farmer.

SEEKING A LOST ART.
Modern Scientists Bahled in Efforts
n tn Tanner c1lnner


to Temper Copper.
Fame and fortune await the lucky
Individual who can rediscoyer the COM
bination of metals from which the
Egyptians. the Aztecs and the Incas
Of Peru made their tools and arms.
Though each cf these nations reached
a high state of civilization, none of
them ever discovered iron. in spite Of
the fact that the soil Of all these coun-
tries was largely impregnated with it.
Their substitute. for it was a combina-
tion of metals which had the temper
OF steel. Despite the greatest efforts
the secret of this composition has baf-
fed scientists and has become a lost
art. The great explorer Humboldt
tried to discover 1t from an analysis
of chisel found In an ancient Inca
silver mine, but all that he could
find out was that it appeared to be a
combination Of a small portion Of tin
with copper. This combination will
not give the hardness of steel, so 1t
is evident that tin and copper could
not have been its only component
parts. Whatever might have been
the nature of the metallic combina
tion, these ancient races were able
so to prepare pure copper that it
equaled in temper the finest steel pro-
duced at the present day by the most
scientifically approved process. With
their bronze and copper instruments
they were able to quarry and shape
the hardest known stones, such as
granite and porphyry. and even cut
emeralds and like substances. A re-
discovery Of this lost art would reyo-
lutionize many trades in which steel
at present holds the monopoly. If cop
per could thus be tempered now its
advantage over steel would be very
great and 1t would no doubt be pre-
ferreG to the latter in numerous indus
tries. 1t is curious fact that though
this lost secret still battles modern
scientists 1t must have been discov-
cred independently by the three races
which made use of it so long ago.
