CAMBRIDGE Eng Aug. 3s-Am.
.bassador Whitelaw Reid today inaug-
.urated tho course Of summer lectures
at the university with an address on
ssrhe Rise and Development of the
United States"
Mr.. Reid suggested that the separ.
alton between Great Britain and her
American colonies might never have
happened had Chatham's wise policy
been followed and said both the Brit
ish people and their colonizing sons
had proifted by the result, because
Americas triumph had checked reac-
ton in Great Britain. There was no
doubt, he continued, that the first
echo OF the rise of America was heard
among the crashing Of old institu-
lions during the French revolution,
and that it certainly was a factor in
the subsequent rapid extension Of
popular rights throughout Europe.
AS it had stimulated liberty by its
political development. said the am
bassador. SO had it stimulated mater
ial welfare by its invention, products
and opportunities. It was scarcely
possible now to conceive the word
without the American outlet for Its
superduous energy and is superhuous

SAVED BABY LYONS LIFE.

sour baby had that dreadful COM
plant, infantile Eczema, which affiict-

covering his whole body. His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery,
in fact, there was nothing We would
not have done to have given him re-
lief We finally procured a full set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about
three or four days he began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year, In about
ninety days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been our greatest pleasure,

could say in their favor, for they GER

The Miracles of Old Reenacted in

More than 20 tons of real mama
have just fallen from the skies il
Turkestan, to the superstitious awe
of the natives.
the mama fell in a district almost
bare of trees, and it was eagerly col
lected by the poverty viii

made cakes of it.
Ignorant of it's natural origin they
regarded 1t as a gift from heaven,

Tora had met her often, riding her

but so gracious and stately did she

who had observed it closely; but Tom
was for too busy with his narrative to
take such notice or to find an affront in
her indifference. But there was no

he when this quiet, stately girl of a

MAMMA FALLS FROM SKY.

The falling of a dense shower OF
these edible casts would naturally be
regarded by the natives as wonder.
1t is possible that the Israelites ex-

desert, and although the cause was
perfectly natural. to them it was in
effect direct interpostlon of provi-

NAUCHT COUNTS BUT LOVE
By MAX PENBERTON

There was a merry company in the
parloc OF the Castle Inn when the
stranger entered there.
He appeared to be man of some 30
years OF age, with youths face and
fine figure Of his own; upright as a
II drill sergeant, and with such pair OF
eyes that, as Tom Forsyth. who kept
the terry, said afterwards, it was
lucky TOR the maids of Brede that the
darkness cloaked them. -
Joel, the landlord, looked the travel
er up and down, and his fat face took
wrinkles of merry fat. He breathed in
with satisfaction. Rare was the day
when a stranger in gold-laced vest
drew rein at his door. Such men, as
rule. were ferried across the river by
Pom Forsyth and rode on to my lords
castle upon the hill There was no
other road from Brede but to my
lords house or to the sea.
After the stranger had retired to the
sinner parlor, mine host hazarded the
opinion to Tom the ferryman that the
stranger came with some news of my
lords son, whose ruin in the gaming
houses of London had long since ceased
10 tickle evil tongues.
To which Tom Forsyth added the
venture that such visit BODIED no good
TO the castle, and that the Lady Alice
should know it forthwith Herein,
bowevtr, he found no supporters; for,
said The wise heads Of the company,
"'Tis not for the likes of us to put
our hands into that KETTLE" and so, in
lieu of 1t, they filled the little brown
mugs and listened at the inner parlor
door and reported every circumstance
of the strangers behavior, as they
