A Peculiar Cold.

Sims Reeves had been announced to
sing at small public dinner at which
Dickens presided, and, as happened
not infrequently, Sims Reeves had
something the matter with his throat
and was unable to attend. Dickens
announced this, and the announcement
was received with n general laugh Of
incredulIty. This made Dickens very
angry, and he rose manfully to the de-

If a cough once gets into your
system it acts on every muscle and
fibre Of the body and makes you
ache all over. 1t especially affects
the intestines and makes you con-
stipated, SO in order to get rid of a
cold thoroughly and without delay
you should not take anything that
will tend to constipate. Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup acts upon the
bowels and thereby drives the cold
out of the system. 1t contains no
opiates-it is pleasant to take and is
highly recommended for children

Never Eorsake a Friend.

Whatever happens. never forsake a
friend. When enemies gather. when
sickness falls upon the heart. when the
world is dark and cheerless, is the
time to try true friendship They
who turn from the scenes of distress
betray their hypocrisy and prove that
interest only moves them. II you have
friend who loves you, who has stud.
led your interest and happiness, be
sure to sustain him in adversely Let
him feel that his love was not thrown
away. Real fidelity may he rare, but
it exists in the heart They only deny
its worth and power who never loved

Men, Women and Ad;eetives.


Certain adjectives are reserved for
men and others for women. A man is
never called beautiful" Along with
pretty" and "lovely" that adjective
has become the property Of women and
children alone. Handsome" and the
weak good looking" are the only two
adjectives of the kind common to eli.
Their sex. Even belle" has no real
masculine correlative in English, since
beau" came to signify something 9TH
er than personal looks. 1t is singular
that handsome" should have become
the word for strikingly good looking
person, since its literal meaning Is
handy, dexterous. But ''pretty" like
wise comes from the Anglo-Saxon word
meaning "sly."

ble-which are belching of gas
nausea, sour stomach, headache; ir-
ritability and nervousness. These
are warnings that the stomach has

Among the arts and sciences in which America leads the world is dentistry. Frank Marshall White, in an article on "Marvels of Modern Dentistry" in the Cosmopolitan, says that for the last twenty years the leading dentists of almost every capital in the world have been Americans; that this country abounds in schools of dentistry that are not equaled in London, Paris or Berlin, and that their students come in part not only from all parts of Flu rope but from all over the world. MT Whites article describes the recent ad- vances made in dentistry in this coun- try. dwelling on the improved crown and bridge work, the wonderful cor rectlons of oral malformatlon, the use of the X-ray in dentistry, and the most recent improvements in filling cavities. This last is especially interesting, as many sufferers will be overjoyed to learn that they can now have a gold are walking around town and attend ing to their business. In order to ac- complish this marvel the dentist takes an impression of the cavity in wax, makes mold from the wax and pours melted gold into the mold. When the patient calls again the gold filling is cemented in the cavity in a moment and without pain. The idea Is not en- tirely new, though the execution Is. Such "inlaid" filings have been made with porcelain for years, but the trouble with gold was that 1t would shrink in cooling. Now, however, the shrinkage Is prevented by air pressure, and the long-desired achievement has been accomplished. If science will now only find a way to prepare a cavity without pain dentistry must become immensely popular. These dental tri- umphs recall the rude dentistry of old times-not only the lead-filled cavities of ancient Egypt, but the bungling at tempts of a century or two ago. The American people have become accus- toned to a likeness of George Wash ington, with a peculiar puffiness of the upper and lower lips, which Is due to set of false teeth, made In Paris from a measure of his mouth taken, it Is said, by himself with tape line. Den tistry cannot be too highly appreciated. It is said that no man is any younger than his arteries, and 1t might be said with equal truth that no mans health is any better than his teeth. Poor teeth mean poor digestion, poor diges- tion means poor nutrition, and poor nutrition leaves the whole body prey to disease and decay.

CataTrh Twenty-Five Years--

Miss Sophia Kittleson, Evanston, Illinois, U. s. A, writes:
 "I have been troubled with catarrh for nearly twenty-five years, and have tried many cures for it, but obtained very little help.
 "Then my brother advised me to try Peruna, and I did.
 My health was very poor at the time l began taking Peruna. My throat WAS very sore and had bad cough. ''Peruna has cured me. The chronic oatarrh Is gone and my health is very much improved.
 ''I recommend Peruna to all my friends who are troubled as was."

 Each tablet equals one average dose of Peruna.

 And you slighted Barbara Allen" "Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, When you boarded at my tavern, 1 made the health go round and round My love to Barbara Allen" He turned his face unto her then, With deadly sorrow signing; Saying, Come, pretty maid and pity me For I'm on my death bed lying If you on your death bed lie, What need the tale you're telling? No better will you ever be,
 For your bonnie Barbara Allen" AS she was cruising over the field, She heard the death bell knelling; And every stroke did seem to say, Unworthy Barbara Allen. She turned her body round and about, She spied the corpse a-coming; Lay down, lay down the man." she said, And let me gaze upon him. With a sorrowfu eye she looked down, Her cheeks with sorrow swelling While her neighbors cried all in a moan Unworthy Barbara Allen" When he was dead and in his grave, She was stricken down with sorrow Mother, mother. make my bed, For I shall die tomorrow. Mother, mother, go dig my grave, And dig it both long and narrow; Young Jimmie has died for me to-day. I'll die for him tomorrow" When she on her death bed lay,
 She begged to be buried by him; And sorrowfully repented of the day, She ever did deny him. Farewell" she said, Eye virgins all, And shun the fate I fell in; Henceforth take warning by the fate, Of cruel Barbara Allen." Young Jimmie was buried in one churct
 yard,
 And Barbara in another, And out of her grave sprung a rose And out of his sprung brier. They grew and grew to the church top Until they could grow no higher, They locked and tied in true love knot The rosy and the brier.
