Cuban Diarrhoea.

US. soldiers who served in Cuba dur.
ing the Spanish war know what this dis
ease is, and that ordinary remedies have
little more effect than SO much water.
Cuban Diarrhoea is almost as severe and
dangerous as mild attack of cholera.
There is one remedy, however, that can
always be depended upon as will be seen
by the following certificate from Mrs.
Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: 81
hereby certify that Cham mberlain's Collie
Cholera and Diarrheea Remedy cured
my husband OF severe attack of Cuban
Diarrhoea, which he brought home from
Cuba. We had several doctors but they
did him DO good. One bottle of this rem.
edy cured him, as our neighbors will tes-
tify THANK God fol- SO valuable med

The amount Of energy people some
fines expend in making bad matter
worse Is illustrated by the story of q
chance encounter in street car told
TO the World by New York man.
1t was on Broadway car, and there
were few passengers. A man boarded
the car and sat down by my side. His
clothing Was muddy and torn, and he
had handkerchief wrapped round one
hand.

town" he remarked. looked interest
I'D, aud he continued:
"See that car four blocks ahead
Well. | ran a block to overtake II and
gave the conductor dime. He handed
me a nickel, which fell from my hand
to the street. | yelled for him to stop
the car. He did not do It, and | jump
ed off and landed all spraddled out like
an old saddle. See my clothes? Well,
the jump did it,"
| asked the man IL he found the
nickel.
"Oh, yes, found the nickel. but
what good did 1t do me? l could not

Situation In Crete,

A report from Crete, which wishes to
unite with Greece, says the situation in
that island is very grave, the insurrec-
ton having taken the character Of
brigandage, with theft, murder, incenr
diarism and ontrages upon women. The
local force being quite inadequate to
cope with the situation-indeed, eight
gendarmes have already been killed
Prince George himself has asked Italy
and other protective powers to adopt en-
ergetic measures and send battalion

only nominally has foF its object union

The First Phonnzranh.

The first words reproduced and ut
tered by photograph are naturally a
matter of historical interest. When
Edison was at work on his first phone
graph many weeks were consumed In
experiment. II Is said that when the
talking machine was first discovered 1t
was as much a surprise to its inventor
as to the world. The Wizard was
working on some telephone receivers
and was led to put piece OF tinfoil on
a cylinder It recorded sound, and Ed
ison was convinced that the human
voice could be recorded aud produced.
When the time came to make an actual
test Edison, with his mind on mechan-
ical details, absentmindedly tested his
contrivance with the familiar phrase,
MARY had little lamb" The verse
was the FIRST record taken by the ma

Animals In a storm.

With monkeys chattering, elephants
trumpeting and parrots screaming, the
steasm hip Luciano, from Hamburg,
reached New York yesterday, but all the
din could not drown the tales the crew
told of the wonderful doings Of the animal
passengers.
A week ago the Luciano ran iuto heavy
storm, aud the great waves, the high
winds and the thunder and lightning 80
frightened the animals that they set up
terrific protest. Two big elephants
became so terrified that they began a
trumpetng that fairly drowned the noise
OF the thunder. In their rage they
smashed their strong crates and broke
TIE chains that bound their legs. The
trumpeting of the elephants was cue
for the other animals, and they joined in
the discordant chorus. Not to be out
done, two ysks on the deck began to
fight, with their fellow-passengers as a
most excited audience.
