,v If It was only health, we might let it cling. 3ut it is a cough. One cold no sooner passes off before another comes. But it's die same old cough all the time. And it's the same; old story, too. There is first the cold, then the cough, then pneu­ monia or consumption with the long sickness, and life tremb­ ling in the balance. ; ' loosens the grasp of your cough.

C. AYER. : Jiowell. Mats. A New ITwk Cwrtnl InaotaUon. George H. Daniels, of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, has made an announcement which is of a rather startling nature, but it is one which ought to please the patrons of that great system, and particularly those who travel on mileage books. The circular reads as follows: Mileage books, gobd for 500 miles and 1,000 miles travel, are now on sale at all stations on the New York Central ^divisions and branches) at the rate of $10 and $20 respectively. These tickets are good until used, and are available for passage on the main line of the New York Central, and of all its branches* and divisions, Includ­ ing the Harlem, Putnam, Rome, Water- town & Ogdensburg, Carthage & Ad­ irondack, Geneva & Lyons and the Ad­ irondack (t'tica to Montreal) divisions. Mileage books will be issued in the name of the head of a family or Arm, and will be available for the use of any member of such family or for any trav­ eler for a firm, provided the name of such member or traveler is written in the book by the agent selling it, in the place designated. They wjll l>e honor­ ed for transportation by the conduct­ ors of all trains, including limited trains, but only ro the end of the run of each conductor. If the holder of such ticket.desires to ride beyond the run of a conductor, or on a night train, or to a point on a branch line, he should present his mile­ age ticket to the ticket agent, who will detach the proper mileage and issue a mileage exchange ticket, on which bag­ gage will be checked to any station on the New York Central or any of its branch lines, thus avoiding the neces­ sity of being disturbed after retiring, or of rechecking baggage.---From the Pittsburgh rest, Aug. 21, 3898.

A Ijondon paper contains the descrip­ tion of a farm belonging to Cecil Rhodes, in Mashonaland, South Africa. The house 1s of cut stone, and at a-lit- tl£ distance are stables and outbuild­ ings. Surrounding the house are im­ mense gardens, where flowers of all sorts, rare and otherwise, flourish In the fertile soil. Further off are fields of grain and great squares of cabbages, promising a plentiful harvest. He has already planted 4,000 trees, and hopes by next year to add about twenty times the land he now has to his estate. Mr. Rhodes also indulges in stock raising and with success. Who knows? The joys of agriculture may wean the cele­ brated colonizer from politics, and he may yet repeat to his followers the say­ ing of the Roman emperor, "If you could only see the beautiful cabbages that I cultivate myself!" REGAINED HEALTH. Gratifying Letters to Mrs. Pink- ham From Happy Women. "I Owe You My Uft.* Mrs. E. Woolhisrr, Mills, Neb., writes: " Dhab Mrs. Pinkham :--I owe my life to your Vegetable Compound. The doctors said 1 had consumption and nothing could be done for me. My menstruation had stopped and they said my blood was turning to water. I had several doctors. They all said I could not live. I began the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it helped me right away; menses returned and I have gained in weight.

Menses would ap­ pear two and three times in a month, causing me to be so weak I could not stand. I could neither sleep nor eat, and looked so badly my friends hardly knew me. " I took doctor's medicine but did not derive much benefit from it. My drug­ gist gave me one of your little books, and after reading it I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound. I feel like a new person. I would not give your Compound for all the doctors1 medicine in the world. I can not praise it enough." Jumping Animals. Among larger animals the kangaroo takes the leading place as a Jumper. It leaps with the greatest ease sixty feet to seventy feet, and -surmountf dead-wood fences from twelve feet to fifteen high. The springbok, one of the antelope tribe, will jump ten feet to twelve feet in the air, over from ten yards to twelve yards of space, merely for its own amusement. Sheep and goats are great jumpers. Morocco goats will clear a fence twelve feet high. The lion, tiger and leopard can all cover great distances, while the longest leap on record by a horse Is thirty-seven feet. ft UNITED STATES WALL MAI •• H MB •• A copy of our handsome map, • • " 48x94 inches, printed In colors and mounted on a roller, will W "i™ be tent to any address on receipt 15 cents in poitage to pay for packing and trans­ portation.

The good roads movement has struck Corea, and the government of that far­ away country has put the matter of making a survey of its territory and of establishing a system of improved highways under the control of a new department. Ia a dispatch to the state department, at Washington, Miulster Allen, at Seoul, «ays: "Corea has never had a proper sur­ rey made of its lands. The treasury department knows in a rough manner the extent of tilled fields as they ex­ isted a few handfed years ago, but new land brought under cultivation Is apt to be known only to the country of­ ficials, who draw much of their consid­ erable revenue from the taxes on the new land. "It has now been decided to have a Complete and proper survey made of the whole peninsula, preliminary to a just and proper assessment. An Amer­ ican, R. Krumm of Columbus, Ohio, has been engaged as chief engineer of the Corean government for the direction of all engineering work. Mr. Krumm is now engaged with the engineering force of the Seoul-Chemulpo Railway." Bad Road* Are Costliest. When once the fact gets firmly estab­ lished In the minds of the farmers of the United States that It is more ex­ pensive to maintain bad roads than to make and keep in condition good roads they will take an active interest in the question and an era of road building will begin which will add to their wealth, prosperity and comfort, and benefit the country at large as much as has the laying of the railroad tracks and the advance of the steam locomo­ tive. Let those engaged* in agriculture study such figures as those recently la- sued by the supervisor of roads in the State of New York, where'.ji he shows that it costs half as much to haul produce three miles by wagon as it costs to haul It 500 miles on the rail­ roads. The supervisor figures out that with a system of good macadam roads the farmers would save an amount each year equal to the interest on from $10 to $30 an acre, according to the crop raised, and would increase the value of their land either to sell or hold by a like amount.--Philadelphia Inquires. Need of Trained Road Builders. The present system of road building in most states, Michigan among the rest, is not expensive, but absurdly in­ efficient. Road building is a science, which cannot be successfully applied by men who have not made it a study. "The trained road builder," says the New Jersey commissioner, "is just aa necessary as the trained doctor, manu­ facturer or educator." When this fact is recognized and a system of scientific proper legislation ETAOIN N roadmaking becomes established by proper legislation, the advantages that are sure to follow will make the rural population wonder how they could have been so shortsighted as to have put off a useful reform so long.--Detroit Free Press. NORWAY'S QUAINT VEHICLES. Fashioned for One or Two Passen­ gers, and Very Comfortable. As every touFist Is aware, a cariole is a most comfortable little car on two wheels for one passenger, says the Montreal Star. The seat is shaped like a shell and nicely* padded and the trav­ eler goes along with his feet resting in fixed stirrups at the sides, unless he likes to tuck them up in front of him or dispose of them elsewhere on the framework of the carriage. The driver sks behind on a box, used for stowing away small packages inside and for taking quite a lot outside. A stolkjaerre is intended for two per­ sons and a driver. It is a rough cart and again the driver sits behind. Wry often these drivers are tiny lads. You may get one of about 8 in some places when the men are busy at the harvest, and it is usual,: when two conveyances are required by the same party, to ex­ pect one of the travelers to drive the second conveyance. As the little yellow ponies know the routes inch by inch, and as it is the custom when numbers of conveyances are going the same way for them to form a very long procession, there is not much need for a crack whip. A trille is rarely seen. It carries four per­ sons and is more or less like a small English barouche. The way in which the driver manages to stow his person away in a luggage-crowded vehicle is one of the wonders of Norway, High Priced Relics. A tooth of Sir Isaac Newton was .sold in 1816 for the sum of.$^$0., It was purchased by a nobleman who had < it set in a ring which he wore constantly on his finger. . , The hat worn by Napoleon Bonaparte at the battle of Eylau was sold jp Paris in 1835 for $400. It was gut up for sale at $100, and there were thirty-two bid­ ders.

Snow statues are the latest form of artistic freak, and their creator is M. Pierre Roche, a French sculptor of re­ pute. The statue is made of copper, and in the base is a reservoir of lique­ fied carbonic acid ased to generate the cold, and the moisture which .is ab­ stracted from the atmosphere, forms on the surface of the jnetal as a coat­ ing of snow in the course of a few nio- ments, and Is prevented from thawing by thft frtriing mNtwffft SALUTES ON A WAR SHIR Bow the Courtesies of the 8m Are ^ Extended to Officials. No salute by ships of war exceeds twenty-one guns, and no salute is ever fired except between sunrise and sun­ set, when the national colors must be displayed, but it is also usual not to fire salutes before 8 a. m. Whenever the President is embarked in a ship of war flying his flag all other United States ships of war and naval stations near which he passes fire the national salute. Side-boys are detailed usually from the apprentice boys. They stand each side of the gangway, in line, and salute by touching their caps as the visiting officials come on board and leave a ship by the starboard gangway. War­ rant officers, naval cadets and enlisted men use the port gangway. After nightfall all boats coming close to the ship are hailed by the marine sentry or by the quartermaster with the words, "Boat ahoyr' A flag officer answers "Flag," a commanding officer answers tie name of his ship, other commissioned officers answer "A>ye, aye," warrant officers and naval cadets answer "No, no," while enlisted men answer "Hello.*' Ev*ery officer and man on reaching •the upper deck salutes the1 national flag, and this salute is returned by the officer of the watch at hand. Flag officers are addressed by their titles of admiral or commodore; captain and commanding officers are called "Mr." and not by their official titles, thougli in addressing them in writing these titlefii are always used. The sur­ geons, however, are usually called "doctor," and paymasters of any grade "paymaster." Boat salutes are given by tossing oars, whiili means holding tliem up­ right in tiie air with the blades fore and aft, or by lying on oars, by which Is meant holding the oars horizontal as they rest in the rowlocks. Coxwnlns of boats stand and salute when passing boats containing officers. All officers and men. whether in uniform or not, meeting a senior afloat or ashore, sa­ lute by touching the cap. When a ship of the navy enters a port of any nation where there is a fort or battery, or where a ship of war of that nation may be lying, she shall fire a salute of twenty-one guns, pro­ vided the captain is satisfied that the salute will be returned. The flag of the nation saluted will be displayed at !the main during the salute.
