in which read an account Of the muir

appearance. 1t was long account and
it told everything about the robbery
of the money and the ring. This made
me fearful Of keeping these about me,
and being one night on bridge tied
them in a pocket handkerchief, to

then threw the treasure into the river.
From that night I have no clear re-
membrance of what occurred. I suf-
fered great hardships from hunger and
often thought that should die. At
length, my life being a torture too
great to bear, determined to go back
to Sevenoaks and give myself into the

"A problem for the psychologists is:
How does man elected by his politi-
cal party and his neighbors to repre-
sent them in the Legislature feel when
he returns TO them between sessions
with his pockets bullying with brides
which he has taken for his vote? He
has betrayed their confidence, broken
his own oath and violated every law
of the State. Yet his constituents
smile upon him, court him, think him
a fine fellow and an honorable man.
The answer is. AYERS the New York
Sun, that either he is wholly aware

deficient and that all his food tasted

Lungo, OF Spezzia, Italy, who is an in,
structor at the Royal College, has pat.
snted scheme for promoting the speed
Of ships by Iubricating their sides. His
belief is that by pumping air into the

the density Of the fluid, and thus lessen
the friction. Some tests have already
been made with the system at Leg

that they were entirely satisfactory,

The action of the Board Of Pardons
at Trenton, revoxing the paroles of
five prisoners released from the State
prison was the first time the board has
exercised this power, the authority for
which is granted by the last Legisiat-
ure, which empowered the appoint
ment of a parole officer to keep a strict
watch on paroled prisoners to see that
they did not violate their paroles. One
result of this appointment las been the
realization of the fact that clemency
has been extended in many instances
to nndeservlng prisoners, who have
abused their privileges. This, it is
believed, will mean the cutting down
Of paroles by the Board Of Pardons.

THE GOOD OLD WAY.

Asevere cold or attack. of la 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 good old-fashioned reliable treat
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmothers, backed by Boschee's
German Syrup, which was always Iiber-
ally used in connection with the home
treatment of colds and is still in greater
household favor than any known rem
edy. But even without the application
of the old-fashioned aids German Syrup
will cure a severe cold in quick time. 1t
will cure colds in children or grown peo-
pie. 1t relieves the congested organs,
allays the irritation, and effectively stops
the cough. Any child will take it. It
Is invaluable in household of children.
