learn that a severe cold can be COM
pletely broken up sn one or two days
time. The first symptoms Of a cold are
a dry, loud cough, a profuse watery
discharge from the nose, and thin,
white coating on the tongue. When
Chamberlain's Cough remedy is taken
every hour on the first appearance Of
these symptoms, it counteracts the eff
feet of the cold and restores the sys-
tenn to a healthy condition within a
day or two. For sale by all druggists.

mouth and its Tapping gils in the effort to east
out the hook. The result is that in the photo
graphs one may look through the loose jointcd
mouth and the gills, while with the unassisted
eye one can hardly see the violent contortions of
the mouth. Sometimes the bait Is thrown to a
distance of a hundred feet, but the hook is not
easily dislodged.
Perhaps the fish will leap from the water
twenty-five or thirty times before it becomes SO
exhausted as to give up the fight. It leaps
straight into the air. occasionally to height of
twelve feet, turns in a graceful curve and
shoots straight downward through the fly
ing spray into the whitened water from which il
emerged a moment before. Again its body
forms a circle in midar. a circle that suggests
a blazing pinwheel and almost blinds the eve if
the suns rays chance to strike the moist burn
ished silver plates. 1t bends it's body into up
curves and down curves right and left curves
and double curves in all directions 1t turns
complete somersauits and it jumps for distance
Every leap, If the sun be shining is accom-
panied with low hung rainbow, not to be
caught by any camera, but to be enjoyed by the

at an incline of forty-6ve degrees,
broad path, which at the bottom ends in
a sharp upward curve, directly in line
with and separated by break of some

err in their furiously feet descent that they
almost in the twinkling of al eye have

The momentum decreases until they seem

two wheels must strike at practically the
same moment, as otherwise three would
