The mother who has acquired the habit of keeping on hand a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough remedy saves her­ self a great amount of uneasiness and anxiety. Coughs, colds and croup, to which children are susceptible are quick­ ly cured by its nse. It counteracts any tendency of a cold to result in pneumo­ nia, and if given as soon as the first symptons of croup appear, it will pre­ vent the attack. This remedy contains nothing injurious and mothers give it to little ones with a feeling of perfect se­ curity. Sold by G. W. Besley. BARREVILLE. Elijah Coates of Ringwood was a call­ er here Monday.

Lv. l.umsteed, who was royal in Newton's time, was rather tic­ kled by the belief of his neighbors In his powers of consulting the stars about terrestrial affairs. An old wash­ erwoman at Greenwich who had been robbed of her linen came to consult him about its recovery. So he set about drawing squares and circles and sug­ gested that if she went into a certain field he would not be surprised if she found her lost linen in a ditch. But when she came back "with haste and Joy" and a half crown in her hand for his fee he was not only very much sur­ prised, but ularmed. "G<*bd woman," he said, "I s m "heartily glad you hare found your linen, but I assure you I knew nothing of It and intended to read you a !<**ture on the folly of ap­ plying to any person to know events not in humi.n power to tell, but I see Satan has a in'nd I should deal with h'm, and never vill I attempt sucb an affair again so long as I live." Wfcr Blaekle Wore the Pbii. Professor Blaekle frequently stayed at Dr. Donald Macleoti's house in Glas­ gow. One night, said doctor, we were sitting up together, i Hackle said in his brusque way, "Whatever other faults I have, I am free from vanity." An Incredulous smMe on my face roused him. "You don't believe that. Give me an Instance." Being thus challenged, I said, "Why do you walk about flourishing a plaid continually?' "I'll give you the history of that, sir. When I was a poor man and when my wife and I had our difficulties, she one day drew my attention to the thread­ bare character of my surtout and asked me to order d new one. I told her I could not afford it just then, when she went, like a noble woman, and put her own plaid shawl on my shoulders, and I have worn a plaid ever since In mem­ ory of her loving deed." IfUcn Tkat CkMgc Color*. An interesting instance of color mim­ icry in spiders has been observed in the south of France. The spiders of tfiat region when in search of prey hide in the convolvulus flowerf. It has been noticed that a white variety of spider frequented the white tiowers. A greenish .colored vari<*iy made the green flowers his home, a.Vt a pink one lived principally in the oink flowers. The colors of the three v.t ;ties were at first supposed to be pe/n anent, but It has recently been discov. i ed that the color of any one of tiese spiders changes within a few days if the in­ sect be placed in the convolvulus of a different colored flower from that which he has been using as his hone.

There is a public library in Balti­ more that has a regulation by which any member wanting a particular book which is not "in" can by paying a small sum secure the next turn, and upon the book's coming in the librarian sends him a notification. In this connection an attache of the library tells of an amusing incident A member desired a copy of a novel -n titled "The Girl He Left Behind Him." The book not being in, he made the customary deposit and in due course received a notification. This the mem­ ber's wife received--to her alarm, at first--for it read as follows: "Mr. Blank Is Informed that The Girl He Left Behind Him' is now in the li­ brary and will be kept for him till Friday morning next."--Success Maga- zfcie.
