NEW PRESCRIPTION AEaE

Here is given the most effective
cough prescription known to the
medical wo2ld. 1t is a mild laxative.
TOO, and this is what a body needs
when suffering with cough and cold
on the lungs. A cough or cold indi-
Gates poisons in the system, causing
Inflammation and congestion. Nearly
all cough syrups relieve, but make the
trouble worse by their constipating eff
1ects. This prescription not only re-
lieves quickly, but it cures any cough

Huld wild cherry bark, one ounce
compound essence cardiol and three
ounces syrup white pine compound.
Mix in a bottle. Take for acute cough
or bronchitis twenty drops every half
hour for four hours. Then one-half to
one %teaspoonful three or four times
daily. Give children less according to
age. A few hours treatment will cure

Story of a Moving Pumpkin.

A pumpkin was seen to walk across
the field by Mrs. Samuel H. Hight of
Skowegan recently. When she saw
1t she thought her eyes were deceiv-
ing her, but she soon perceived that
the pumpkin moved a little way,
stopped and then turned in another
direction. She watched this object for
some time and told n of her neigh

the two women did not dare to go
nearer the moving vegetable, but
called a nan who knocked the pump
kin yer and found a polecat. The
skunk had crawled under the pumpkin
and stuck his head into a hole in it
and was unable to extricate himself
from it and had walked off as best he
could with the pumpkin on his back

compasses in Sleeping Rooms.

1t is a curious fact that no japanese
ever sleeps with his head to the north.
The reason is that the dead in Japan
are always buried with their heads in
that direction. Consequently, in the
sleeping room of many of the private
houses of Japan, not to speak of hotels
in larger cities, a diagram of the
points of the compass is conspicuously
posted on the ceiling for the informa-
ton of guests.-The Sunday Magazine.

'r1he extraordinary OTTER to which

1.-THE extraordinary OYER to which
you have responded was made In com.
pliance with the will Of u late client,
Mr.. Benjamin F. Morton. He was a
trif1e eccentric, and one of his hobbies
was writing poetry. He took a great
fancy to.a nephew of his and spared
no money to have the boy well edu.
Gated. The old gentleman himself had
a very limited education, and he was
determined that his nephew should
not be handicapped as he had been.
Well, just about the time the boy got
through college the old gentleman
struck snag in this poem of his
about Fedora Lillian Hildegarde ct al,
and he called upon his nephew to help
him out with a rhyme for Rachel
The young man informed him that
there was no such rhyme, but his
uncle refused to believe it. He insist
ed that as the lad had had a college
education he could find a rhyme if he
chose. Well, the upshot of it was that
the old gentleman took it into his
head that his nephew was obstinate
and %ungrateful, and he cast him off. A
short time before he died, however, he
finally concluded that perhaps there
really was no rhyme for Rachel and
he decided to reinstate his nephew in
his will; but with this proviso: That
a rhyme should first be advertised for
and that should any person produce
such a rhyme within a year, then the
money should go to such person, in
stead Of the nephew.
"As the executors, we, of course, fol-
lowed the provisions of the, will, but
we were definitely satisfied there was
no such rhyme. And yet you say you
have found one. I am free to say it
seems incredible, incredible. Still, at
the same time, the offer is a bona fide

week a most unusual announcement,
and 1t vas this which now occupied
her attention to the exclusion of all
else. The announcement read as fol-
lows:
We, the undersigned, executors under
the will of a person whose name we
withhold for the present, desire to an
nounce that, in accordance with the terms
OF said will, the sum of $250,0O0 will be
paid to the first person who will submit
to US a rhyme for the name Rachel. This
beQuest Is based On the following condi-

Ultimate one. Dialect, foreign OF invented
words will not be considered. 2. This Of
fer Is limited to one year. dating from
December 81, 1870.
In explanation Of the foregoing offer
1t Is deemed proper to state the following
facts: Among the effects Of the t~estator
above referred to is an unfinished poem
addressed to a lady whose full Christian
name was Fedora Lillian Grace Lorain
H~ildegarde Louise Rachel. The said
poem was written by the testator for the
purpose of bringing into rhyme each one
of the names aforementioned. He sue
ceeded in writing six ~stanzas, in which
the first six names were respectively in
troduced in accordance with his afore-
said purpose; but he was unable to COM
plete the poem because Of his failure to
find a rhyme for the last name-Rachel.
For certain personal reasons he provided
In his will that an attempt be made, in
the manner above set forth. to discover
such a rhyme.
