prove to be very entertaining. We no
ticed striking resemblance in the en-
craving of Edmund Kean to the portrait
of Thomas Long, uncle of John D. If
the story we heard in our boyhood be
true, there was striking resemblance
between the two living personages.
For reasons that are given in the
biography of Kean, lie was not we'll re-
ceived in America. Long was passing
through the streets of Boston, and was
mistaken for Kean and was set upon by
mob. and barely escaped being rough

way-Kean as an actor, and Long as a
musician. Long as player on the bugle

DO NOT SUPPRESS A COUGH.

When you have cough do not try to
suppress it. but remove the cause. The
cough is only a symptom of some disease,
and the disease is what you should cure,
then the cough will stop of itself. The
most common cause of coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chloroform, opium, etc., are used for
that purpose, but they do not cure
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves it by removing from
the throat and lungs the mucus which
INSTRUCTED the breathing, and allaying
the irritation and tickling in the throat.
1t also opens the secretions and effect,
ually and permanently cures the cold
as we'll as the cough. For sale by Shurt-

THE SPIRIT OF WINTER.

The Spirit of Winter is with us, max
ing its presence known in many different
by CHEEKY sunshine
and glisteniug SHOWS, and sometimes by
driving winds and binding storms. To
many people it seems to take a delight
in making bad things worse, for rheuma-
tism twists harder, twinges sharper,
catarrh becomes more annoying, and the
many symptoms of scrofula are develop
ed and aggravated. There is not much
poetry in this, but there is truth, and it
is a wonder that more people don't get
rid of these ailments. The medicine
that cures them-Hood's Sarsaparilla-
is easily obtained and there Is abundant
proof that it's cures are radical and
permanent.
