In the dry stage of the same complaint the sound is a whistling, wheezy one. One of the signs of pneumonia is the crackling note that comes through the stethoscope. It Is not unlike the sound that can be heard when your anger and thumb have touched a sticky sub­ stance and you first place them to­ gether and then part them, bblding th£m close to your ear. Doctors occasionally hear a dripping sound, and that indicates that air and water have got into some part of the chest where they have no right to be.

"In a recent visit I paid to friends •broad I came across a superstition that was new to me," said a traveler the other day. "One day at dinner somebody hit a glass, which began the ringing, jingling noise that is familiar when glassware is struck, and Imme­ diately another guest covered the piece with his hands so as to muffle the sound. Every one present said, 'That's right; stop the ringing.' I found out on inquiring that when one causes this ringing of a glass piece to cease It saves a human life from drowning. How the notion originated 1 can't ex­ plain, but the$e people I speak of were Intelligent iintl not generally given to cherishing ^surd notions. It Is said to be a Scptqh superstition, but none of my friengfT could throw' light on ita origin." srs--: • A PoVieeman'tt Testimony. J. X. Patterson, night policeman of Nashua, la., writes, "Last winter I had a bad cold on my lungs and tried at least a half dozen advertised cough medicines and had treatment from two physicians without getting any benefit.

Repeated attacks in­ flame the mucious membranes lining the stomach, exposes the neryes ofr the stomach, producing a swelling after eat­ ing, heartburn, headache, sour risings and finally catarrh of the stomach. Kodol relieves the inflammation, protects the nerves and cures the catarrh. Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia, all stomach troubles by cleansing and sweetening tha glands of the stomach. Julia A.

The gentleman Is like a slot machine-- you put in a dinner, and out comes a speech." The witty general rose and replied with a quick Are of satire: "The chairman has thought fit to liken me to a slot machln^. May I return the compliment and s«y that he Is Uke one also?

The Best Remedy for Croup. (From the Atchison, Kan., Daily Globe.) This is the season when every woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the>children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in a case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in a case of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive-syrup and -tolu, but some mod­ ern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to "throw up the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough ap­ pears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

Story, McHenry, G. W. Besley, W. McHenry. A Chance to Bat Musaela. A story is tpld of a man condemned to death In France who was asked, ac­ cording to custom, what he would pre­ fer for his last meal. He chose mus­ sels, which, though his favorite dish always, he said, caused him a terrible indigestion. "This time, however," he added grimly, "fhey will not have the chance." A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when getting his usual Saturday night bath, stepped back against a hot stove which burned him severely. The child was in great agony and his mother could do nothing to pacify' him. Remembering that she had a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm in the house she thought she would try it. In less than half an hour after applying it the child was quiet and as'eep, and in less than two weeks was well. Mrs. Bedson is a well known resident of Kellar, Pa.
