Are You Troubled
By Coughing at Night ?

Every one who has suffered from deep
seated cold knows how annoying and exhausting
the night coughs are.
Sirolin-a dose taken at bed time-reiieves the
tickling and irritation that cause the coughing Ats
Srolin not only alleviates the coughing, but
it dispels the worst cold in a few days. The
action is invigorating and tonic in character.

Coughing is produced by

to relieve the irritation at

WHICH CITY TO HAVE HoNoR7
Many Competing for Crown That
Will Go With the Highest
Civic Beauty.

When the question is now asked,
what is the most beautiful city In
the world?" the asy and unhesitat-
ing answer is, Paris. That has been
the answer to this query for probably
hVe centuries. But, fifty years from
now when the same question is asked
the answer may be different, for. with
q set purpose and operating upon
carefully thOught-out plans Of orna-
mentation and adOrnment. fully fifty
cities of the earth are TO- after the
municipal beauty prize. 1t will re-
qulre a long period 10 ever approx
mately realize most Of these beautih-
cation schemes, as. in not a few in
stances they involve tearing-dOwn and
making-OVer propositions that will en-
tail an enormous cost. 1t is, however,
a most interesting speculation as to
which. fifty years from now, will be
regarded as the most beautiful city
in the world. Perhaps it will still be
Paris. but, then, again, perhaps it will
not be.
If not Paris, it is highly probable
that the most beautiful city in the
world fifty years from now will be in
one or the other of the Americas. But
will this city be Baltimore, Washing
ton, San Francisco, New York, Phil
adelphia, Chicago, Boston or ST.
Louis? VIII it possibly not be a
South American city-Buenos Ayres
for instance? It is to be briefly re-
marked that there is no other city in
either hemisphere that is arranging
its growth and development upon
more intelIigently thought-out EIans
than Buenos Ayres. The campaign
of development along artistic lines
has barely begun in the United States,
however, and the signs are already
multiplying that we are going to
make this city beautiful idea Just
hum during the next two OF three
decades.

tention to maintain the fine forests

Dare TO BE o

Let us never be afraid of innocent
Joy; God Is good and what he does Is
well done; resign yourself to every
thing. even to happiness; ask for the
spirit of sacrifice, Of detachment. Of
remuneration, and above all, for the
spirit Of Joy and gratitude, that gen
uine and religious optimism which
sees in God a Father, and asks no
pardon for his benefits, We must
dare to be happy and dare to confess
it, regarding ourselves always as the
repositories, not as the authors Of our

BEEF HALF CENTURY OLD.
6arreI in Good Condition Was in
Siege of Vicksburg.

Nicksburg-Buried in a hill near
the historic Shirley House, where Gen
Grant made his headquarters during
the siege Of Nicksburg, a barrel that
had contained picked beef. supposed
to date back 10 the memorable siege,
was unearthed a feW days ago. A
COW, which fell over an embankment,
tore the earth away from the n Of
the barrel. and two residents of the
neighborhood, who saw the end of it
protruding, thought it might be a cot
fin. Upon digging out the barrel and
opening it, it was found that the con-
Tents had become dessicated, showing
it's extreme age. 1t is presumed that
it was part of the subsistence issued
to the soldiers Of the Union forces sta
toned nea: there during the war.

There are at present 1875 inmates

q reQuisition has been made for tents
so as to take care of some of those

The improvement fund, created by
