ID, Not suppress a ough.

When you have a cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only symptom ofsome 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 ior
that purpose, but they do not cure the
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
obstructed the breathing and allaying
the irritation and tickling in the throat.
It also opens the secretions and eHec'
tually and permanently cures the cold as
we'll as the cough. For sale by Gibson

CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA.
High Taxes and Poverty Make Life
Miserable for Peasants.
From the London Statist.


The budget of the empire exceeds G2OO,-
100000 and is increasing enormously, to the
detriment of the rural taxpayers, who sus-
tain this burden almost exclusively, while
the privileged classes, supplied with much
better means, do not pay anything like a
just proportion. The annual revenue of the
whole Russian population scarcely reaches
1850, 100000, and the average revenue of a
peasant is only 92 year; out of this sum
he has to pay some Dos. for the needs of
the government. The amount of debt to
the government thrown on the rural popu-
lation is increasing in an immense proper
ton. and the poverty In some districts Is
beyond description. The system of favor
ing exports abroad has resulted In enrich
ing the government with few millions
yearly, and In further deterioration Of the
peasants existence. The peasants sell milk
butter and eggs, but rarely eat these lux
uries themselves; everything is sold in order
to get money and to pay the taxes. The
peasant does not see any meat at all very
often does not get bread without a mix
ture OF grass; in the winter he is bound
sometimes to destroy his wooden cottage
and go to the neighbours house, because
wood is wanted for heating; the cattle are
brought to the same room and men, women
and children live together with pigs and
horses. Strange is the peasants character
He destroys his own house in order to get
the wood and herd with his neighbors when
there Is an immense forest quite close to
the hamlet, belonging to the government or
to some member of the imperial family.

Evervthing is round.

-.
In this lighthouse there have been at
least five weIl-marked cases of insanity,
and others In which madness has been
suspected and the men relieved from
have made a study of conditions at the
Minot Ledge Light attribute the unusual
culiar form of structure. There Is no
point, they say. on which the eye may
rest, so it travels round and round in a
maddening whirI.
They therefore suggest that some
means~be devised for filling the curves
and producing corners and angles. In sup
port of their theory they cite instances
Of men who have lost their mental ball
ance during long confinement in circular
prisons, but have quickly regafned it on
being transferred to an ordinary room
of corners and angles.
Baron Trenck spent much of his time
In prison making marks and corners to
break the circularity of his surroundings
and keep his reason from slipping away
on the mad whirl Of encircling walls.
Casanova, an Italian engineer. who was
imprisoned I'm a round tower. gives much
the same testimony. He says he felt
great mental relief on being moved to an
