THE GOOD OLD WAY.

A severe cold or attack of the grippe is
like fire, the sooner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower it..
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give a good old-fashioned reliable treat
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmothers, backed by Boschee's
German Syrup, which was always liber-
ally used in connection with the home
treatment of colds, and ia still in greater
household favor than any knO wn remedy.
But even without the application of the
old fashioned aids German Syrup will
cure severe cold in quick time. 1t will
cure colds in children or grown people.
1t relieves the congested organs, allays
the irritation, and effectively stops the
cough. Any child will take it. It is in
valuable In a household of children.

Wonderful Crater Lake.
fNev York Tribune.)

When Congress SGT aside Crater Lake
and its surrounding natural wonders OF
mountain peaks, lofty crags, deep can
yons, beds Of lava, and matchless forests
Of vine, II created National Park which
many think rivals the far-famed Yellow
stone.
Crater Lake Park and It's two hundred
and forty-nine square miles of territory
il located in Klamath county, southern
Oregon. The lake itself 10 the great
feature of the park, though there are
many others. During the glacial period
Crater Lake did not exist. What 10 now
the majestic sheet of water was once
filled with the towering peak of Mount
Mazams, the highest mountain of all the
high mountains of the Cascade Range.
Mazama erupted regularly Its fire, ashes
and lava, and like spendthrift became
hollow, mere shell of mountain.
The fires of youth died away, and after
ward came the chill of old age; then on
the fatal day, when the bridge of the
Gods" fell in, the old hollow mountain
also fell into itself. Nothing remains OF
the once lofty mountain but the base,
which forms the rim of Crater Lake.
How this became filed with water, and
remains 30 year after year, il q mystery
that none can solve.
Generally Crater Lake is described
when it is said that it Is body of fresh
water six miles long and three miles
wide, with almost sheer precipices for
shores, varying from one to two thou.
sand feet, with seven points rising eight
thousand feet, and with cone-shaped
island in the centre that rises eight
hundred forty-five feet above the water.
Tongue cannot portray it. At the point
where the road brings you to view OF
the lake is broad plateau. This breaks
of at the rim, and narrow trail leads
down the steep incline to the water.
The water is cold and pure, and the
slight breeze that fans the lake keeps
the little waves splashing against the
rocks. Aside from this there are no
other sounds. Once in while a snow
white pelican flies slowly along the
border Of the lake, then settles and
lights on the blue surface, q mere speck.
An occasional hawk scars past and cir
cles about in search of prey. Quietude,
peace, reign supreme. Miles and miles
through the park one may 60 and see no
human being.
About a half.mile from the western
shore is Wizard Island, circular in form
and cone-shaped. Wizard Island is COW
cred with struggling pines, and in its top
is a depression, or crater, called the
Witches Cauldron. This is one hundred
feet deep and nearly five hundred feet in
diameter. Wizard Island was undoubt-
eddy the last smoking chimney of old
Mazama. The base of the island is
covered with sharp, and as yet, unworn
rocks.
The government this summer will
make several improvements about the
lake and within the limits of the park in
the way of building better roads and
bridges; also placing launch on the
lake, and erecting lookouts at favorable
points on the precipices overlooking
the water.

the session and to escape infection.

Journal entitled the Oxford Gazette
the first number of which appeared
Oh Wednesday, Nov. Is, 1865. 1t con
tanned an account of what had been
done in the way of appointments and
gave some items of court news. About
two months later the publication was
transferred to the metropolis as the
London Gazette.

An ApimAl Story FOR
Little Folks
What Greedy Got

Greedy was a strange creature. In
the first place he was the only one Of
thirteen eggs that old Mrs. Speckle was
able to hatch.
To say he was ugly would be but
poorly to express 1t.
His head was like duck, for he was
at first ducks egg. But his tail was
wonderfully like Mrs. Speckle's. His
feet were like paddles on. steamboat,
and his appetite was enormous. HIS
poor mother did 80 much scratching In
the garden to satisfy his greed that
they shut her up in coop.
See what you have brought me to by
your greediness." said his poor mother.
