ALMOST A MIRACLE BY

Not Diphtheria But
Stomach Trouble,

I had suffered from stomach trouble
for months, and had paid out over $50
doctOring, but got no permanent relief
until I used Robinson's new germ
icide, the Golden Chemical Compound
and was permanently cured by only
80 drops. I must say I have never
heard of so valuable a medicine I
had also suffered from throat trouble
and could get nothing which would
even help me, but when 1 used the
G. G. c. something as large as the end
and I was cured with but three ap-
plications. This intruder had both
cred me for several months. I now
take pleasure in recommending so
valuable a remedy to suffering hui
manity. It did wonders for me

disease for over twenty-five years. and
had doctored with leading physicians
during this time but grew worse until

Compound, which cannot he too high

for me what twenty-five years of doc

The First French Navy.

Away back In the eighth century
Charlemagne had organized a sort or
coast guard by enrolling all the sea-
board population who lived within one
and q half miles OF the shore. Dut
with the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the VAST
Carlovingian empire all dreams or ma
val greatness were dissipated. Long
afterward Charles V. built some mil
itary pefs on the Atlantic, and Louis
XI.'s gaIleys chased the Barbary pi-
rates who infested the shores OF the
Mediterranean. but 1t was Francis /.
anparently who first conceived the Idea
of q war feet, purchased and equipped
from the royal treasury.
He converted the small fishing VII
lage of Havre into a fortified port,
which speedily attracted commerce to
the mouth Of the Seine, and he pro-
tected a scheme-which he did not 1--we
to realize-for the construction Of an
oceanic navy under canvas. FLEETS
were nassed In the Mediterranean
writes Mr.. Norman IN his "Corsairs OF
France" "and for the first time In
history O French squadron, passing
through the strait of Gibraltar. de-
feated an English feet of Brest, and
then, moving round to the eastward,
drove off the blockading squadrons OF
Henry VIII. from Boulogne."

An Eloquent Criticism.

Theodore Thomas, In conducting an
orchestra, seemed impressive. imper-
turbable. A writer In the Outlook com
menting upon this says that he was ap-
parently without passion or feeling
yet the appearance was not reality,
and at one of Mr.. Thomas rehearsais
it was fully contradicted.
At a certain point in the symphony
the orchestra was playing in perfect
time and tune, but with a certain me-
chanical effect which no one had no
ticed until Mr.. Thomas suddenly
raped the music stand before him.
The orchestra stopped. Then with
his hand he initiated the action Of an
organ grinder.
With only word to indicate the
bar at which the orchestra was to take
up the music, he struck the rack be-
fore him for attention. and with a
movement Of his baton gave the signal.
The orchestra repeated the passage
he had criticised by dumb show. and
this time 1t played with spirit and
fire.

our cinnamon, which is the aromatic
bark of certain trees common to that
island. The trees are never allowed
to grow higher than ten feet During
the season Of harvesting, Of which
there are two a year, the branches Of
three TO five years growth are cut
down and the top surface Of the bark
scraped away. Then the bark Is ripped

when exposed to the sun to dry curl
up into quilts. In the course Of drying
