My Mother Had Consumption

"My mother was troubled with consumption for many years. At last she was gives up to die. A neighbor told her not to give u$ but try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. She did so and was speedily cured, and is now in the enjoyment of good nealtb." D. P. Jolly, Feb. 3, 1899. Avoca,N,Y.

Cures Hard Coughs

No matter bow bard your cougb is or bow long you bave bad h, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the best thing you could possibly take. out it's too risky to wait until you bave consumption, for sometimes it's impossible to cure this disease. If jou are coughing today, don t watt until tomorrow, but get a bottle of Cherry Pectoral at once and be relieved. It strengthens weak lungs.

Buried Alive.

One of those extraordinary cases that

police work in India occasionally brings to light came to notice recently almost

accidentally, in a district of the North west Provinces. Two Constables, Nob

bat Singh and Rup Ram, while patro

ling on their beat, overheard in conver

sation that a mail named Durba had murdered his wife. They took the man

to the police station at once, and he there stated before the officer in charge

that his wife had been suffering from

leprosy; that latterly the complaint had

become worse, and that the woman had

desired to be buried alive in order that her children should not inherit the

disease. In compliance with her im

portunitles he and his son dug a hole

outside the village and buried the

woman alive in it, four neighbors as

sisting them in covering the unhappy creature. The six accused have been arrested and have confessed to the deed

before a Magistrate. There seems to be

no doubt about the truth of the story,

that the woman sacrificed herself for the sake of her children, and that her husband and those who had helped him

acted in good faith. The superstition,

however, that the self-immolation of a leper is a protection against the transmission of the taint would appear to be

a very rare one.

The John M. Smyth Co. Have No

Agents.

The well-merited popularity of the great mail order establishment of the John M. Smyth Co. of Chicago seems to

have induced unscrupulous parties to go

through the country and falsely represent themselves as sales agents for this house. By thus representing themselves they have succeeded in imposing upon many

by selling goods and taking cash and notes from victims who actually believed they were purchasing goods from the representajives of the firm direct. The

John M. Smyth Co. have no agents and

denounce as frauds all parties traveling through the country and claiming to rep

resent the firm. The public should be oa

the lookout for such impostors.

A lourjre Rocking Stone. Buenos Ayres seems to have the largest "rocking stone" yet discovered. It is situated on the slope of the mountain of Tandil, in the southern part of the province, and measures 90 feet long by 18 feet broad, and is 24 feet high. Its bulk is 5,000 cubic feet, and it weighs at least 24 tons. Nevertheless, it is so beautifully poised that a single person can set it rocking. When the wind blows from the southeast the stone, which is pyramidal in forca, sways to and fro on its foundation like the branches of a tree.

The Cause of Chapped Hands. Much of the discomfort experienced from chapped hands in winter is caused by washing with inferior soap, the ingredients being highly injurious to the skin.
