A Judicious Inquiry.

A well know travelling man who visits
the drug trade says he has often heard
druggists inquire of customers who ask
ed for cough medicine, whether it was
wanted for child or for an adult, and
if for a child they almost invariably
recommend Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy. The reason for this is that they
know there is no danger from it and
that it always cures. There is not the
least danger in giving it. and for coughs.

AMERICAN COLLEGES.
They Are Unique Among Institution
of Learning.


of Learning.
The American college is in every
way unique. 1t may be defined in a
word as a school for imparting more
general and advanced instruction than
can be obtained in the various acade-
mics and private schools, The univer-
sity, however, more particularly COM
pr1ses number Of technical schools,
imparting instruction in all depart
ments of knowledge, including classic
al literature, the arts and sciences, as
biology, medicine, surgery, law, theol-
ogy, mechanics and so on. The issue
as to which is the most desirable, the
most useful, has been discussed at ed
ucational congresses. in the public
press and notably in the leading re-
views. There has been evident in
these discussions a tendency to look
upon the college as a kind Of inferior
school which must be given it's place
only when there Is not enough money
to establish the more expensive uni
versity. On the other hand, the college
has not wanted its stout champions, In
whose view the American college, with
its concentrated curriculum, the close
ness of touch between pupil and pro-
fessor, is not only an institution that
is to be conserved, but is one that Of
ten, If not always, offers a better kind
of education than is available in the
university.-Leslie's Weekly.

Ideas From Nature.

Walking on the outskirts of Bolton
one autumn evening, a clever young
man became interested in watching
the seeds falling from a sycamore tree.
He observed that they acquired ro-
tary motion before reaching the
ground, and, inquiring into the cause,
he found that the two wings were
slightly turned in opposite directions,
which caused them to revolve in fall
ing. The idea of making a screw pro-
peller on this principle at once occur
red to him.
Galvani, a natural philosopher of
Italy, was dissecting a dead frog one
day while a pupil was making expert
ments in electricity by his side. He
observed that the muscles Of the frog
being exposed, gave signs Of motion
whenever the nerves came in contact
with the scopel. GalvanI discovered
the existence of a new principle in
this phenomenon and originated the
fertile branch Of physics known by
the name Of galvanism.

1t is a popular fallacy that the first
love is the true one, unique in its ex-
cellence, says an exchange. AS we'll
say that the first picture Of a painter
is the best Of all he will paint in the
course Of his life; that the first speech,
the first book, the first statue, the first
composition, will be the best Of the
statesman, novelist, sculptor or musi-
clan, as the case may be. First works
have all the imperfections of uncer-
ta1nty, of inexperience and ignorance.
And it is rather by chance than by
anything inherent in the nature of Gu
pid's ways that the first love turns out
to be the great one.

Messrs. Scott of Plymouth and War
ner of Woodbridge were appointed
the house members on the special

ton uniting the First Baptist church
with the First Baptist Ecclesiastical

capture of rabbits until 1909 was
amended so as to make the prohibit
tion perpetual, and was passed. The
bill which amends the law relative
to vital statistics, so that certificate

the bill amending the charter of the
Consolidated railway company, grant
ing to that corporation certain priv
ileges and authorizing the extension
of its trolley lines in all parts of the
state. President Mellen spoke, not
only upon the bill in question, but
also upon all matters in which the

ance to the demurrage law. His ad-
dress was we'll received by the large

How to Read.

Reading is not lost art to the same
degree that conversation is, but it has
In most cases an arrested development
through so much reading that makes
no demand upon aesthetic sensibility,
so that one Is apt to bring to a fine
story full of delicate shades of thought
and feeling the same mind which he
yields to a newspaper, putting blunt
Interrogation as to its meaning as con-
veyed in the terms Of rational propo-
sition, and the writer's charm is wholly
lost upon him. While the readers sur
render to the author must be complete
his attitude should not be passive, but
that of active responsiveness and part
nership.-H. NJ. Alden in Harper's Mag.

Il a closely woven heavy cloth Of hemp

catessen Of the backwOods, the twenty
one times a week, stick to the ribs
provender that floats in amber juices
and that when mined in the morning
from the bean hole emit such delicious
odor as to make mouths water all
along the border? The cook and the
cookie join drives in building up this
monument to high art in culinary. The
woods cook usually bakes a tin wash
boiler nearly full Of beans, first par
boiling them before he gets them ready
for the pot. Then he peels an onion
and slices it into the bottom of the pot.
Then he pours in half the beans; then
slices over them another onion; then
puts in the chunks of salt fat pork;
then dOuSes in the rest Of the beans.
Over all this he pours pint of mo-
lasses and then more pork. Just
enough water is added to cover the
beans, and then a sheet of birch bark
is placed over the top Of the pot and
the cover pounded in tight. When the
water begins to steam the bark swells
and seals the pot, holding in all the
flavor. The cookee there's all the diff
ference in the world between the cook
and the cookee) builds the fire in the
bean hole. When the birch wood has
heated the stones that line the hole
and has itself burned to redhot Goals
most of the Goals are taken out and
placed in the hole in the afternoon.
They stay there all night. In the
morning they are dug out. All OTHER
baked beans are libels on the name, for
these have the sauce of the pine and
the spruce.-Lewiston Journal.

Jack and Gill.

Jill or Gill is an abbreviation of the
once feminine name Gillian or Juliana.
In Icelandic mythology Jack and Gill
are two children kidnapped by the moon
while drawing water. which is carried
on their shoulders in a bucket suspend
ed from pole. The Swedish peasants
still account for the moon spots in this
way. A play with the title Jack and
Gill; was popular at the English court
between 1867 and 1873. How far back
the English nursery rhyme with this
title dates is not known, though every
