an article of furniture. A man

the medicine or the treatment
which will relieve and cure. The

what it will do, before they take

BURNS AND CUTS.-Slight injuries
of this character are of frequent occur
renee in almost every household. While
they are not dangerous, except when
blood poisoning results from the injury
they are often quite painful and an
noyfng. They can be quickly healed
by applying Chamberiain's Pain Balm.
1t allays the pain almost instantly and
heals the injured parts without matter
being formed, which ips1res a cure in
one-third the time that the usual treat
ment would require. 1t is the most
perfect preparation in use for burns,
scalds, cuts, bruises and like injuries.
It should be applied with a feather,
and before the parts become swollen if
possible. For sale by All Dealers. Ben

In the utterly new sensation Of move
ment in an extra dimension.
Man has never known anything
like free vertical existence. Held to
the plane Of the earth, his movement
down has scarcely been more than
to return to it after short excursion
'up,' our minds remaining always on
the plane surface even while our
bodies may be mounting, and this is
so much the case that the spherical
balloonist, as he rises, has no sense
Of movement, but gains the impress
sion that the earth is descending be-

with respect to combinations Of
vertical and horizontal movements,
man is absolutely without experience
of them. Therefore, as all our sem
sations OF movement are practically
in two dimensions, this is the extraor-
binary novelty of aerial navigation,
that it affords us experiences-not In
the fourth dimension, it is true, but
in what is practically an extra di-
mension-the third: SO that the mir

horizontally when the airship answers
to a touch Of the rudder. The birds
have this sensation when they spread

days when French blood flowed so

Upon my soul, senior, we OF Pan

it, The pay roll every fifteen days
took million dollars. Wagon loads
of gold, taken from the stockings of
the peasantry of far-away France,
were scattered here like chaff. In the
trenches 10000 men toiled in the
steaming heat, and none of them, from
director general to South African Ia
borer, tried to save cent.

The good man was not out of bed.
He was so polite that rather than keep
and make the statement in all truth,
that he was just as affable and engag-
ing as If he were speaking to me across

with the red ribbon of the Legion of

IT never shall forget the day M.

AS you may well believe, he was
great man in Panama at that time, and
it was an honor to be near him and
so many people were taken on the
launch that was to convey him to the

enced in getting under way, and before
we knew it the tide was going out.
Full steam was applied but, I am

we of old Panama were not permitted
to look upon his face again.
II am told that when he arrived in
your wonderful city, New York, he
was amazed at the unusual sights.
When he saw the street cars and the
Brooklyn bridge he shook his head
in profound thought and then ex-

Divgler-poor Divgler-he shot the
horses and went back to France a
homeless, broken-hearted man. 1t
would have been mercy If the fever
had taken him with the others.
Money was so easy to get, senior,
that no one put the proper value on
it. You had but to ask your price
and it would be given. A dollar for a
pink to wear in your buttonhole. An
other dollar for a pineapple. Do you
see that house by the palm tree, where
the little girl is playing? Well, that
is my property. In the old days
let it for $500 the month. When Mad
anne Sarah Bernhard came to Pana-
ma to give five performances, I gave
$3.50 for season ticket. I thought I
could afford 1t. but I guess I was a
fool, for now get but $50 the month
for my house. P1nks and pineapples
can now be had for a dime. Do you
think, senior, that the Americans will
pay as much rent as the French?
II know now that we were all very
extravagant, but, of course, none of us
realized 1t then. We acted like gold

old Panama will never again have

AS he finished this prophetic speech
the old man took w his glass and
drank a silent toast to the glory of
departed days. For some time he sat
communing with the thoughts of lost
opportunities. A mendicant stopped
to hold out his ,beseeching hands;
pigeons f1uttered in the narrow street;
the heavy, two-wheeled carts Of the
tropics trundled !. noisily over the

screamed from their perches on the
balconies, and sat in silence, waiting
for my venerable friend to connect
the threads of his thoughts and
weave them into words for me. Final

Tn the airship there is no smell

is doubtless owing to the lesser re-

are less frequent and rapid than those
