Curing Colds.

To cure a STUBBORN cough take five
cents worth each Of pressed hore-
hound leaves, pressed hops and wild
cherry bark. Boil together in scant
quart Of soft water to form strong
dark tea, strain the tea through cheese
cloth without squeezing, add pound
of loaf sugar and simmer slowly to d
thisk syrup.
Take a teaspoonful several times a
day, whenever the cough is distressing
For whooping cough add five cents
worth of chestnut leaves to the other
ingredients when making the tea.
A slight cough may often be quickly
cured by gargling with hot water In
which little soda has been dissolved
This is excellent for Group: Take
thin cloth-either linen or cotton-sat-
urate it with pure glycerin, add few
drops of camphor, then sprinkle nut
meg thickly over all and apply tc
throat and chest.
Camphor is a handy remedy in case
of colds which make breathing diff
cult. Moisten a handkerchief with the
camphor and lay it on the pillow. The
fumes will relieve the head and induce
sleep.
For dryness in the throat hold few
drops of glycerin in the mouth as Ions
as possible with the lips closed oi
gargle the throat with equal parts OF
glycerin and water.

THE LUCK OF MINERS
How Millions Have Been Taken From
Claims Abandoned as Worthless.

Claims Abandoned as Worthless.
Boss, come here" said one Of the
boys in the employ Of Mr.. Bowker,
an Englishman who was working a
diamond claim at Droogeveld, on the
Vaal river, in South Africa.
The boss came, and the kaffir show
| ed him a huge diamond Of 17S3 carats,
or nearly the size Of the Koh-i-noor.
This was in October last, and on the
very day when Mr.. Bowker and his
partner had decided to abandon the
claim, which had produced only few
small stones. Needless to say, they did
not leave, and a few days later they hit
upon another diamond even larger
than the first. 1t was 1861 carats, and
sold in the rough for e1,770.
1t Is strange how often the miner
makes a fortune out Of an abandoned
or almost abandoned claim.
There was such a case at Waarn
Yarra, in Australia, in May, 1903. Two
Kingston miners bought an old claim
for a song and found it in such bad
condition that it needed timbering all
through. One wanted to give 1t up,
but the other suggested that they
might try their luck for day or two.
So they took some props down and set
to work.
The first man stuck his pick into the
clay roof to make hole for a prop,
and down fell a large stone almost on
his head. But 1t was not a stone. 1t
was a nugget Of pure gold weighing
11S ounces
The richest copper mine in the world
is the United Verde, in Arizona. 1t was
originally found by a couple Of ranch
ers, who sold it for $4,000 (e2,OO0) to
two men named Murray and Trimble.
They worked it and found little cop
per, and were absolutely at the end of
their resources when they struck
pocket, not of copper, but silver ore,
which netted them a sum Of 6 10000.
| They came to an end Of the silver
and abandoned the mine as worthless.
Another man came down from Mon
tana and bought the old claim for a
few hundreds. He struck the real vein
of "copper" and within ten years 1t made
him one of the richest men in he
world. In single twelvemonth he
took out copper valued at e2,400,OOO.
This calls to mind the even more ia
nous Mt Morgan gold mine. The first
owner of the land was Donald Gordon.
who graZed his fiocks over untold and
unknown riches, and sold the land for
Ell an acre to two brothers named
Morgan.
| They set to work, and the quartz
i panned out up to 800 ounces of gold to
the ton. In 1889 91,OOO,OOO was distrib-
uted to the shareholders. One share
holder left a fortune Of s2,311,OO.0
Gradually the gold quartz petered
out, and the Mt Morgan mine was
supposed to be dead.
Then some clever mineralogist polk
ing about the half-deserted works, re-
allied that there was more copper
than gold. In 1906 the mine was re-
born as a copper producer, and new
process was discovered for extracting
gold from the copper. Today Mt. Nor
gan is still going strong.-Answers

charge of stealing a saddle from Mr.
John D. Mcconnell, made his escape or
last Saturday night. He cut through
the ceiling of his cell with a knife
broke off the plastering, passed out into
the passage and descended to the
ground by means Of blankets. For the
information Of all concerned and fol
the special edification of our sheriff, he
left the following rich document. We
give it verbatim:
gentle men when you put hog VI
to fatten always put a bottom in yore
pen for fear yore hog might root ou,
never build yore pen out Of corn stalks
or else yore hog will knaw them in two
and when you put man in Jail never

Without doubt, Able was furnished
with the knife by parties on the out
side, and also assisted to make good
his escape. Before leaving the Jail, he
furnished some half dozen papers to n
negro belonging to ]. H. Faulkner, and
It was his intention to assist the negro
to make his escape; but finding that he
had no time to lose, left the negro
locked In his cell.

A young man who gave his name as
John Abel, and his residence, Newton,
Catawba county, N. c., was arrested in
town last Friday, and charged with
stealing a saddle from Mr.. John d. NC
Connell, near McConnellsville. The
saddle was found in his possession a
few hours after the theft had been
perpetrated. He was riding a small
black mule of which he failed to give
satisfactory account. In default OF
bail, he was lodged in Jail for trial.
Monday last, Mr. Hugh Mccullough, of
Chester district, made claim for the
mule, proved property and took 1t
away" 1t turns out that the real name
of the precious scape grace is John
Jonas.
