At this point I stepped into the
cabin, and found the doctor with
tall, finely -built fellow, who had
apparently not long arrived, for he
stood just inside the door and was
in the act of removing his gloves.
Neither he nor the doctor showed
any apprehension of having been
overheard, but the latter said quick-
ly :--
"Ah, so yott have completed the

"I hope he will be as pleased with

to the stranger.
"Phis is Captain Forrester, who
has just been appointed to the com-

Croup, Bronchitis, Asthma, Coughs and Colds Yield
Promptly to Dr. Chasers Syrup of Linseed and
Turpentine.
, There are many reasons why you
/should use Dr. Chase's Syrup of
Linseed and Turpentine in preference
to any other treatment for dises,ses
of the throat and lungs. Of these
!the most important one is the fact
':that it has been tested -for years and
absolutely proven its right to fist
position.
, Nearly everybody knows of the re-
markable value of turpentine ta,nd
Linseed as remedial agents. They
have been so combined with half a
dozen other ingredients in Dr.
IChase's Syrup of Linseed and Tur-
pentine as to form a most thorough-
ly effective and at the same time
rleasant medicine.
As is frequently the case with an
unusually successful article, Dr.
}Chase's Sylem of Linseed and Tur-
pentine is imitated, There are now
hosts of preparations with names
SiMilar to this, and some even go so
far as to imitate the bottle and
;wrapper. It therefore beconies ne-
cessary for you to be very careful
when buying. Insist on seeing the
portrait and signature of Die A. W.
Chase on the wrapper.
We know that Dr. Chase's Syrup
of Linseed and Turpentine will not
disappoint you, because it.has stood,
the test of time, and the sales,
which are at least trip/a that of any
similar preparation, rate steadily in-
creasing year by year.
As a positive cure ler croup, bron-
chitis, asthma, throltt troubles, and
severe cough and colds, Dr. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine
has a reputation which cannot be
stolen by the cheap and oft in-
jurious cough mixtures which are
offered in place of it by some deal-
ers.
Even the consumptive, who has
reached the latter • stages of his in-
sidious disease, finds ease and com-
fort in the use of this preparation,
while it is impossible to estirnato
the countless number of less sev/ete
cases which it has actually cuvecl.

The revelation that leprerof exists
In France to such an extent as to
call for the erection of a citadel hos-
pital has caused quite a scare in
Paris. It appears that there are
nearly a score of cases under treat-
ment in the St. Louis hospital, and
tele Municipal Council haS been
asked to vote 25.000 &mica for the
erection of a special pavilion, so as
to isolate them from the other pa-
tients.
It appears, however, that leprosy
Is not a contagious disease and that
the other patients run no risk of In.
faction. The doctor in (entree of
the hospital, however, fears that the
lepers may be attacked by tubercu-
losis, to which they are peculiarly
subject. As cases of tuberculosis are
treated in the same ward, he thinks
it better to erect a special pavilion
for the leniers. This declaration as
to the non -contagiousness of leprosy
will come as a surprise to most peo-
ple, as it is a popular belief that
the disease is contagious in the
highest degree. As, however, there
Is not the slightest grounds to doubt
these declarations of mett of the em-
inence of Dr. Allopean and his aids,
the Parisians need not fear the Out-
break of an epidemic of leprosy.
A BORN DIPLOMAT.
George was caught napping, A
pair of soft little hands covered his
eyes and a sweet voice comananded :
"Guess who it is."
Nothing very dreadful for George
in this you think ; but then you
don't know that George has two
sweethearts, and for the life of bine
couldn't decide whose voice it was,
which made it a very embarrassing
situation for him. A wrong guess
would lead to complications awful
to think of. But a happy thought
inspired George, and he announced :
"It's the dearest, sweetest little
girl in all the world." '
"Oh, you lovely boy !" gurgled
the satisfied one, as she removed her
hands.
- And now George things of applying
for a diplomatic post, feeling that
his talents would be wasted in. any

A Short time ago, , in a certain
part of Scotland, a clergyman who
had mit been long in the place, hav-

funeral of one of his flock, made in
his se:limn some touching allusions
to the widow of the deceased.
On coming out of the church the
lady who had been the object of his
compassionate remarks, turning to
his pastor, said •
'That was a' grand sermon, Mr.

In the country districts 'Of the Unit-

such as the Newfoundland or the
mastiff, are still used to churn but-

a treadmill. But the American dog

and the utilization of dog power in
drawing cars of coal has proved
most satisfactory. As the German
farmer harnesses his 'dog to a little
road waggon and hauls his vege-
tables to market, Or the Flemish
milkman ties his mastiff to the axle
of his dart, so the Ohio miner
hitches a tandem team of dogs to a
car and makes them draw out the
coal over a miniature railway.
The clog has been found practicable
in these mines, for the reason that
the coal veins aro narrow and mules
aro too lai•ge. 'Ile miners them-

and is all separated by means of
picks, without the aid of powder.
Tho Ohio coal mine dog not only,
possesses great strength for his
small frame, but is far more faith-
ful than the animals ordinarily used
for traction purposes. None are of
pure breed, but all have in their
NtehlS good quantities of the blood
of rthe mastiff or the bulldog. Dogs
of the same team work together har-
moniously, but entertain remarkable
jealousy for those of a rival team.
Thus, when several carloads 'of coal
are travelling out of the mine, one
behind the other, the dogs of the
hindermost team strain every 'muscle
to keep up with, those ahead.
