It does not rain in Cuba during the summer months, at least as we understand it.

A word to physicians. Do you know that many broad minded physicians are using Foly’s Honey and Tar Cough Syrup in their pratice. They have found no remedy that gave satisfactory results for all throat and lung complaints as this great cough medicine. Holthouse A Callow, j We are a strange if a great people.

Au exchange has started something new and original in the "missing word” contest business. It is this: A good old church deacon accidently sat down on the pointed end of a carpet tack. He at once sprang up and said only two words. The last word was “It.” Any person guessing the first word and sending a dollar in cash will be entitled to the weekly edition of our paper one year. The government has asked for bids on thirty-eight war vessels, which are to be constructed with as little delay as possible. The specifications call for four first class battleships of 14,000 tons displacement, six monitors, sixteen torpedo boat destroyers and twelve torpedo boats. These when completed will make a formidable navy and the United States close along with the best equipped nations of the eart li. Every newspaper treasures up in its memory the name of its friends, and likewise its enemies, says an exchange. It seldom; if ever overlooks an opportunity to assist the former, but never goes out of the way to boost the latter. Human nature is pretty much the same everywhere. People who show the newspaper man kindness never make a Ix-tter investment, or one that more surely pays them a hundred fold sooner or later. An indication of the good feeling across the border is shown in a new Canadian postal card. At one end. on the address side, is the British flag, crossed with the stars and stripes. Above the flags is a map of western hemisphere, and below Britannia and Columbia sit amicably side by side with the eagle at their feet. All of the hard things that we have been saying against each other are forgotten now, as we embrace each other affectionately.

The Washington Post very truthfully says that it sometimes requires more and oetter courage to stay at home than to go to war. Many a man who, if duty would premit him to volunteer, would be glad to go, is compelled by the most solemn and binding of all human obligations to stay at home. It is not a manly, wise or heroic thing for a citizen to leave his wife, children, parents or sister in want in order to go where he is not needed. So long as there is a surplus of men who want to enlist and whose presence at home is not essential to the support of families, no man whose presence is thus required has a moral right to enlist. Ead management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To be successful one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it A little forethought will also save much expense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keep a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy in the house, the shiftless fellow will wait until necessity compels it and then ruin his best horse going after the doctor and have a bigdoctor bill to pay besides; one pays out 25c. the other is out a hundred dollars and then wonders why his neighbor is is getting richer while he is getting poorer.

Suffered 27 years with kidney disease. Mr. G. A. Stillson, a merchant of Tampico, 111., writes: “Foley’s Kidney Cure is meeting with wonderful success.
