Accuracy.

The literal quality of the Chinese
mind is well illustrated by a story
in the Travel Magazine. An Amer
lean visiting in Hongkong desired to
buy some souvenir spoons and with
that purpose in mind entered jew
eler's store.
The selection made, he wrote
upon a piece of paper the inscrip-
ton, ''Hongkong, 1906" to have the
same engraved on the bowl. As he
started 70 leave the store the China
man called him back and asked for
deposit.
The gentleman gave him IS
cents, making a note of the fact on
the paper on which he had written
the inscription.
When he called for the spoon the
neIt day it was inscribed in the
bowl, "Hongkong, 1905, paid 70
cents"

TRoUSSEAU IN TINS.

Italians Novel Way of Importing
Fianeos's Wedding Garments.
Domenico Petrucci, a young Sicilian.
arrived at New York recently on a Ger
man ship on his way to Ell PasO, Tex,
where he is to wed Miss Marie COnsen-
tino. The young man brought in, to
the great surprise of the customs OFF,
cials, most of the girls trousseau seal
ed up in seven tin boxes. The largest
was about eighteen inches long, ten
inches wide and about three inches
deep. The others ranged down to one
about the size Of q cigar box.
The inspector, in a quandary, had to
call a deputy surveyor to find out by
what method the canned trOusseau was
to be examined. After some discus
sion, during which Petruccl raised a
protesting voice, Special Inspector Tim
Donohue appeared with a can opener
borrowed from the ships steward.
From the large tin a rather faded
and worn dress Of red and gold mate
rial was brought to view. 1t looked
not unlike a gypsy costume. Petrucci
explained that 1t was an heirloom and
that the family brides for many a year
had worn the dress to the altar. In
the smallest package were found pair
Of slippers and a mantilla. Petrucci
said that, being something of a worker
with tin, he canned the wearing ap-
parel to protect 1t from damage on the
journey.
After the examination the customs
men decided that Petrucci carried
nothing on which duty could be collect
ed, and he was sent on his way to
Marie and Texas.

The Pure Food Law

Secretary Wilson says: One of the objects
of the law is to inform the consumer of the
presence of certain harmful drugs in medi-
cines" The law requires that the amount of
chlOroform, opium, morphine, and other habit
forming drugs be stated on the label of each
bottle. The manufacturers of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy have always claimed that their
remedy did not contain any of these drugs,
and the truth Of this claim is now fully proven
as no mention Of them is made on the label
This remedy is not only one of the safest, but
one of the best in use for coughs and colds.
It's value has been proven beyond question
during the many years it has been in general
use. For sale by Titusville Pharmacy.

Nicholas. One day when, he was over
taken by a severe storm he took ref

being Christmas. he preached a ser
mon to the nuns. which they liked SO
much that they asked him to come the
next year and preach to them again.
On his second visit. which was also on
Christmas eve, before going to bed
he asked each Of the nuns to lend him
stocking, and he filed the stockings
with sugar plums In return for their
hospitality.
