Said the Mayor In part:
There are in NewYork some needs for moral inn

York quite as important as the moral. For five
years New-York has been dropping with more

telling us that this water famine may come. They

Burma's Monster Cigars.

One of the curiosities Of Burma IS
n cigar of monstrous and alarming APP
pearance, which every n smokes
IRON an early age. THE indigenous
article is a monster eight inches long"
writes V. c. Scott O'Connor in his
book, 1.-THE Silken East" 1T consists
of chopped wood, tobacco, molasses
and various herbs wrapped in the sill
yer white skin of a bamboo. So wide
in diameter is it that it completely
fills up the mouth of any young damsel
who tries to smoke it. For presentation
purposes this long cheroot is often
wrapped at one end in a coat Of purple
or gold paper. 1t accumulates a for
midable mass of fire at the lighted end
and requires some skill in the smok-
ing. But the Burman infant acquires
this skill before he can walk and
while ne is still at the breast. No one
thinks Of smoking such a cigar
through. Two or three long puffs, the
lips Of the smoker thrust out to meet
the circle of the cigar, and it is put
down or passed ON to some good fell
low sitting by"

Very odd, if it is so. Why should a

go away and leave it?"
"Well l take it that the thief put the

Wether Stone on Hamil Down, and who

there are hiding places in every stone
wall about the fields?"
Take it to Daniel tomorrow and
show it to him, Will. He always de-
clares that he was robbed of this money
as we'll as of his bonds and securities.
Nobody has ever believed him, because it
seems unreasonable that a robber should
take twenty pounds and leave fifty. But
If ii is proved that he is right about the
money, he may also be right about the
bonds"
Strange that neither of us thought of
connecting David's box with his uncle's
bonds. But then | did not know that
the bonds were in a box; one thinks of
bonds as a roll of paper.
'As for David's box" said George,
II agree with you, Will, that it is best
to say nothing about it. Let him keep
his secret. If it is valuable, so much
the better. We will keep the thing to
ourselves. But rs for the canvas bag,

HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE DOCTOR
BILLS.
Physicians Give Free Advice by Which
Parents May Profit.

It's a matter of general interest just
now how ones physical condition can be
got into shape to best receive the benefits
OF the summer season. Especially is this
true of the children. They have become
run down by a winter of unnatural man
ner of living because of ill-considered
food and mucl time spent indoors.
Spring comes with its sunshine, its fresh
vegetables and all else inyigorating, but
the children are in no condition TO re-
ceive natures remedies. ,
Many parents call in the family physi-
clan. Many other parents take advan-
tage of what the physician told them
when he was first called in consultation.
All good family physicians say: Give
the children Castoria." Healthy parents
know this remedy of old, for they took
it themselves as children. 1t was more
than thirty years ago that Castoria made
a place for itself in the household. 1t
bore the signature of Charles III. Fletch-
err then, as it does to-day. The sigma
ture is. its guarantee, which is accepted
in thousands of homes where there ara
children.
Much is printed nowadays about big
families. DIR. William /. McCann or
Omaha. Neb., is the father or one OF
these much-read-about famllles. here Is
what he says:
"As the father of thirteen children l
certainly know something about your
great medicine, and aside from my own
family experience l have, in my years
of practice, found Castoria a popular and
efficient remedy in almost every home"
Charles II. Fletcher has received hun
dreds of letters from prominent physi-
clans who have the same esteem for Cas-
toria that DIR. Mccain has. Not only
do these physicians say they use Castoriai
in their own families, but they pYescribe
it for their clients. First of all it is a
vegetable preparation which assfmifates
the food and regulates the stomach and
bowels. After eating m sleeping, and
Castoria looks out for that, too. 1t al
lays feverishness and prevents loss OF
sleep. and this absolutely without the use
of opium, morphine or other baneful mar
cotic.
Medical journals are reluctant to dis
Gus proprietary medicines. Halls Jour
nal of Health, however, says: Our duty
is to expose danger and record the
means for advancing health. The day,
for poisoning innocent children through
greed or ignorance ought TO end. To our
knowledge Castoria is a remedy which
produces composure and health by regu-
lating the system, not by Supplying 1t,
and our readers are entitled to the in
formation"
