In the tropics of Mexico. where tor

raincoats are very necessary part
OF mans apparel. Owing to the in

Good Cough Medicine for Children.

The season for coughs and colds is
now at home and too much care can.
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to contract
diphtheria or scarlet fever when he
has cold. The quicker you cure his
cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the sole reliance Of
many mothers, and few of those who
have tried it are willing to use any
other. Mrs. f. F. Starcher, of Ripley,
w. Va, says: II have never used any
thing other than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for my children. and it has
always gwen good satisfaction This
remedy contains no opium or other
narcotic and may be given as conf

a Restrained Grief.

Back In the ridges OF Tennessee two
mountaineers got into an argument.
Words led to blows, and in the fight
thas followed one of the men was
killed. A neighbor rode on ahead to
the dead mans cabin to prepare his
wife. He found her seated at a table
eating apple dumplings, He broke the
sad news to her as gently as he could.
She listened quietly, with dumping
poised in the air half way to her
mouth. When the neighbor paused she
stuffed the dumping into her mouth
and said: "You jest wait til / finish
this hyer dumplin' an then you-all II
hear hollerin'."- Harper's Monthly.

SOME SMALL EneL,sH PARISHES
0oxen Inhabitants In One; In Another
Only Two Houses.

Probably few people know that this
country contains number OF par
iShes 80 small that their population
can be housed under one or two roofs.
For instance. Upper Eldon, near
0toekbridge, consists Of two houses,
which with an eleventh century church
and q tiny Gods Acre" in the middle
Of q farmyard adjoining one Of the
dwellings, comprise the whole parish.
Not much larger Is the population OF
L.lllington, five miles from Eastbourne.
Small as its church is-the interior
dimensions are only 16 feet square
it Ii quite large enough for the inhab.
ftants.
In Grove near LEIGHTON Buzzard.
there are only about dozen inaabi
tants, the parish containing a modern
farmhouse, two cottages and a tiny
church. At Rhyd, in Flintshire, while
there are only three adult inhabitants,
the village contains five cottages and
one ship. Until recently there were
two licensed houses, one Of which still
remains.-Tit-Bits.

have neither lively play Of facial ex.
