Saved by Dynamite.

Sometimes, a flaming city is saved by
dynamiting space that the fire can't
cross. Sometimes, a cough hangs on SO
long, you feel as if nothing but dyna'
mite would cure it. Z. T. Gray, of Cal
houn, Ca, writes: "My wife had very
aggravated cough, which kept her
awake nights. Two physicians could
not help her; so she took DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds, which eased her cough, gave her
sleep, and finally cured her" Strictly

Grippe. At Flint Bros, and F. G. Ian

His Medicines and His Death

"A reader at the Paris Bibliotheque
Rationale has dug up the prescriptions
for medicines which were ordered to
Prince Condo in his last illness. A
consultation Of three physicians pre-
scribed "a syrop made Of rice, marsh
mallow roots and sugar candles and
blister to be applied night and morn
ling. The distinguished patient failed
to improve, and fourth doctor was
called in, who ordered two ounces Of
d preparation Of hyacinths to fort1fy
the heart and repair the exhausted
forces, followed by poppy water"
"syrop' OF stag horns" 'fpecachuana,"
'Nquorice" and "mistletoe roots" The
prince lived through this treatment for
six months, when he died, according
to the death certificate, "of. the malady
from which he was suffering" 1t
doesn't make any difference now, but
it is natural to hope he didn't die Of
anything worse. '"' :

How Names Grow I'm.


We have become so accustomed to
rolling the proper names in our geogra-
phies over our tongues as glibly as we
do our own that few Of us ever stop to
think how much Of history, political,
natural and religious, is wrapped up in
few syllables. How many towns do
you know that end in 'berg," burg"
"burgh" or "boroughY
, Take for the first one Edinburgh, for
instance. How came it by that name
instead of Stumptown or Hardscrab-
Bile? Let us take the ''burgh' out Of
the name first.
"Burgh" means In England and Scot
land corporate town. All the English
towns that end in berry" "burrow,"
"bury," borrow" etc, have that end
ing from "burgh." In the German 1t
means a castle Or fortified town. So
much for our "burgh." Then, in Edin-
burgh, it means the castle or town Of
whom or what? Here "Edin" is only
edwin" shortened, and Edinburgh
the town of Edwin. Taking this one as
a model. the study becomes easy and
interesting-London Globe.

The waters were

rising but Nassik knew to- an inch
how high they would come before
standing still for 9. day and then be
ginning to recede Under bis dlrec-
lions the elephants began work. Such
trees as they could uproot and such
logs asathey could roll, together with
thousandssof carloads Of smaller stnffs
were deposited just below high water
mark. They piled banks high for i've
miles. FoKhalf a mile back the forest
was stripped of limbs and vines and
logs, and the labor was finished two
days In advance
'.It Is well, my children, said Nassik.
1.-THE waters will take everything at
their food, and then down at the
bridge they Will see what they will see
Let us now rest from our labors."
( Down at the bridge there was no
fear as the food crept up. The Coon
tree was not bringing down enough
driftwood to tear a raft from its moor
ings. So 1t was for a week.
! One morning when high water mark
was reached the chief engineer sneered
at the turgid food. Two hours later
there, was a wild alarm. The face Of
the waters was hidden by drift. Never
had man seen SO much Of 1t. 1t came
rushing down like wall Some passed
between the piers at first and went

was a swirling about and wedging

there was a block. In half an hour 1t

a million horses was pressing against
It. For quarter Of an hour the handi-
work Of man withstood the strain OF
