Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment Of any kind, do
not for a moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Everyone knows
that pneumonia and chronic catarrh
have their origin in common cold,
Consumption is not caused BY cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development OF
the germs that would not otherwise
have found lodgment II Is the same
with all infectious diseases. Diph-
liberia, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more like
ly to be contracted when the child
has a cold Yon will see from this
that more real danger turks in a cold
than in any other of the common all
ments. The easiest and quickest way
to cure a cold is to take Chamber
lain's Cough Reemdy, The many re-
markable cures effected by this prep
aration have made it staple article
of trade over large part OF the
world. For sale BY Frank Hart and

VOLCANO IN ACTION.

| HONOLULU. Hawaii, Oct. Ill
have just returned from my tirst visit
to the Volcano Of Kilauea, but like
everyone who has been there, resi-
tate to attempt a description OF what
seems totally to defy all powers Of
written or verbal expressions The
immensity and unapproached gran
deur OF the spectacle is almost stupi-
flying, and writton words seem fiat
ard colorless when applied to it, in
the same way that no photographs Of
il has ever been taken, or picture
painted which is not disappointment
after one has stood on the brink OF
that awful abyss, and all OF ones SEN
ses have struggled to comprehend the
titanic forces and their results spread
on below.
Kilauea is little like the conykntion-
al volcano Of our geographiSH There
is no towering mountain, such as Of
Vesuvius Of Popocatapetl, Instead
one makes a bradual ascent from the
seaport Of Hilo, in a parlor car Of a
well equipped railway train for 22
miles, and then continues the same
gentle rise for nine miles further by
carriage through dense forest Of gi-
ant ferns, to come suddenly out at
the end upon the edge OF great pre-
cipice some one thousand feet in
height, which is the edge Of the era
ter. This is at an elevation of about
1000 feet above the sea level, and

to death by strangling him one night
in their handsome apartments in this
city and that she had him so badly
scared that when policeman burst in

than substantiate her reports that they
