COUGHS,

Every person who coughs should
not alarm himself with the idea that
he is in bad way. Experience has
convinced us of a fact that there are
two distinct kinds of coughs-one
proceeding from an affection of the
lungs and air tubes, as in a cold, the
other proceeding from effervescence
in the stomach. The lungs cough is
a symptom which all know to require
attention, lest serious consequences
ensue. The stomach cough is a much
more simple and matter and may
easily be got quit of. 1t is caused
by the food and drink which are put
into the stomach effervescing and
producing an irritation. A knowl-
edge of this fact ought to lead per-
sons so affected 10 ponder little on
the nature of their ailment and the
tone of their digestive organs.

CONSTANTINOPLE SHOEMAKERS.

In COnStant1nOple the SnOemakerS
are all poets. While a customer IS
having a heel repaired or a shoe re-
laced the attendant recites extempo-

AS the language is Arabic or Turk

err he is hearing a good or bad verse.
On the Mushki, the. Broadway of
old Cairo, one can buy the red leath-

worn in a land where there is rarely
any rain, for about 60 cents. They

I'VE condemn the experiment in
imperialism as an inexcusable blunder
which has involved us in an enormous
expense, brought us weakness instead
of strength, and laid our nation open
TO the charge of hardening funda-
mental doctrine Of self-government.
We favor an immediate declaration OF
the nations purpose to recognize the
indie pendence of the Philippine Islands
as soon as stable government can be
guaranteed by US as we guarantee the
independence OF Cuba, until the neu-
tralzation of the islands can be secured
by treaty with other powers. In rec
ognizing the independence of the Phil
ippues our government should retain
such land as may be necessary for coal
ing stations and naval bases"

which lands may be situated.
We repeat the demand for internal

which Mr.. Roosevelt has vainly sought
from a reluctant party: and to that end,
we insist upon the preservation, pro-
lection and replacement OF needed for

power and the preservation of electric
power generated by this natural force

such end we urge the exercise OF all

We insist upon a policy of admins
