HE is A GREAT FINANcIER.
Doubtless There Are Plenty Of Others
Just Like Him.

Il had a conversation the other
day" said a well-to-do citizen to the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat, with a
man who undertook the discussion of
he currency question and had a pet
theory on the best management of the
government finances, in order TO pre-
vent recurrence of the recent panic"
MY friend is unfortunately of very
limited resources. has a large family.
small salary, and, as | happen TO
know, often has difficulty in adjusting
means to ends. This fact. however,
does not prevent his theorizing on the
country's financial condition, and he
can tell anybody who will listen ex-
actly what the government ought to do
and what the banks ought to do, and
how the two ought to cooperate, in
order TO provide an elastic system of
currency which would make our finan
ces as strong as Gibraltar.
THE conversation reminded me Of
an incident which occurred a few
years ago in London, concerning a
man who occupied little back room
in a poor quarter of the east end. He
was evicted for non-payment of rent
He had nothing but a valise and few
clothes, and while they were throwing
him and his belongings out of the
house bulky manuscript fell out OF
his pocket. Nobody noticed it at the
lime, but after he had gathered his
clothes and taken his departure, one
of the bystanders saw the big roll OF
paper, picked it up, and on opening
it, was surprised and amused to find
it contained an elaborate scheme foi
refunding the national debt Of the
British empire"

TERRIBLE MARINE EARTHQUAKE,
Cane Horn Phenomenon Kills Thou
sands of Big Fish.

A sailing ship rounding Cape Horn
was caught in a dead calm, something
almost unprecedented in that stormy
latitude. The sky was filmed with a
light haze and the sea fiat and lead-
colored. About ten o'clock on the
morning of the second day the snip
began to shake violently, the mas's
whipped and bent like fishpoles, and
everything movable above and below
came down with clatter. III was
like striking a rock, only the shock
was less pronounced at first, but in
creased in violence during the ~
seconds 1t lasted. The sea heaved
in oily swells with a strange hoarse
murmur, and it continued to be agi-
tated after the tremors ceased E.
Half an hour later fish by the thou
sands began to rise to the surface, I'M
til 1t was covered with them. Forty
seven whales were counted, many
cowfish. fully eight feet across, sharks
without number and seals by the nun
dreds. They were evidently stunned
with the force of some terrific marine
upheaval. and when struck with a
pole by one of the sailors showed only
faint signs of life. In 20 minutes
after the first fish arose to the sur
face they began to drop out OF sight
like pieces of lead Whether they
were stunned and. on recovering, I'M
inediately dove beneath the waves in
a panic, seeking safety in the depths,
or whether they died from the shoc@.
and, instead of floating as dead fish
do. were drawn under by some sub
marine whirlpool, were scientific ques-
tons too deep for the skipper, bu
half dozen of the smaller fish hauled
aboard by the cook for dinner were
quite dead when examined. The calm
continued "a hours longer before the
ocean resumed its usual aspect and a
wind from the southeast permitted the
ship 10 continue its course.

Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted
ordinary colds and recovered from
them without treatment of any
kind, do not for a moment imagine
that colds are not dangerous.
Every one knows that pneumonia
and chronic catarrh have their orr
gin in a common cold. Consump-
ton is not caused by a cold but the
cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise
have found Judgment. 1t is the
same with all infectious diseases.
Diphtheria, scarlet fever. measles
and whooping cough and much
more likely to be contracted when
the child has a cold. You will see
from this that more real danger
turks in a cold than in any other
of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure q
cold is to take Chamberlains Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable
cures effected by this preparation
have made it staple article OF
trade over large part of the world.

A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ingre-
dents are all harmless, and can be
obtained at a small cost from any
good prescription pharmacy, or
the mixture would be put up if
asked to do so. He further stated
that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic
Affections with splendid results. he
could see no reason why it would
not be splendid remedy for kid

backache, as it has a peculiar ac-
ton upon the kidney structure,
