From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, N. C. It may be a question whether the edi tor (it a newspaper has the right to pub- | licly recommend any of the various pro- j prictory medicine* which flood the market, j yet as a preventive of .suffering we feci it j a duty to say a good woru for Chamber- 1 lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea llem- ] edy. We have known and used (hi- i medicine in our family for twenty years j and luve always found it reliable. In j many cases a dose of this remedy wouln 1 save hours of suffering while a physieiad i.s awaited. We do not believe in de pending implicitly on any medicine fore cure, but we do believe that it a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept ou hand and administered at the in ception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our ex perience during the past twenty years. For sale by L. Taggart.

Dodson. 1 S-ly The law holds both maker and circu lator of a counterfeit equally guilty. The dealer who sells you a dangerous counter feit of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve risks your life to make a little larger profit. You cannot trust him. DeWitt's is the only genuine and original Witch Hazel Salve, a well known cure for piles and all skin diseases. See that your dealer gives you DeWitt's Salve;. R. C. Dodson. IS-ly After many intricate experiments, sci entists have discovered methods for ob taining all the natural digestants. These have been combined in the proportion found in the human body and united with substances that build up the digestive organs, making a compound called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you cat and allows all dyspeptics to eat plenty of' nouri-hirig food while the stomach (roub les are being radically cured by the med icinal agents it contains. It is pleasant to take and will give quick relief. R. ('. Dodson. 1 S-ly "Almost Milled Ber."^p MASON, Nuttellburgh, W.

In liis volume on "Present Day Egypt" Frederick I'enlield thus de scribes one of the interesting sights in the neighborhood of the pyramids, the incubators in the native villages. "It will be found," lie says, "that the incubator is constructed of sun dried bricks and so arranged internally that the eggs, placed in mud constructed ovens on trays cushioned with cut straw, are constantly under the at tendant's view. No scientific apparatus is employed by this man, not even a thermometer. lie knows from experi ence and his own feeling how much heat is needed, and he systematically turns the eggs several times each day until they are developed into peeping chicks. "Those hatching establishments exist throughout middle and upper Egypt and in a season bring fully 20,000,000 chickens into the world that grow up :o be scrawny, unattractive fowls. The Industry is thousands of years old and seems conclusively to settle the ques tion of a chicken's maternity by allo cating that parentage to the hen laying the egg. "The incubator is a foster mother ouly and is responsible for stifling the 'setting' instinct with Egyptian hens. The keepers of the incubators have a system of traffic with peasant farmers by which eggs are purchased outright or six live chicks given in exchange for a dozen fresh eggs." Dentil to the Workmen. It was in an art store in Fifth ave nue, and the dealer was showing gild ed clocks and candelabra to a cus tomer. Pointing to one particularly handsome set, lie said, "That is wortli $350." Pointing to another of similar pattern, but not so handsome, he said, "That is worth $000." "But the other one is better," said the customer. "Well," said the dealer, "the chief value of this one (pointing to the SOOO affair) is in the gilding. It was gilded by the mercury process which is now forbidden by law almost everywhere. The other one was treated with the electroplating process." "Well, it's handsomer," said the cus tomer. "Is it as durable? If it is, why should I pay $250 more?" "It is practically as durable, and it is handsomer," said the dealer. "But you can duplicate it, and you can't dupli cate the other. The mercury process of gilding was death to the workmen who engaged in it. They Inhaled the fumes of the mercury, and in the end it killed them, and it wasn't long do ing it, either." "I'll take the mercury one," said the customer, "but the other is handsom er."—New York Sun. The CONNUCK M of the Don. The Don Cossacks are the finest look ing race of men ever seen. Kingly in their carriage, tall and slender, litlie and graceful, their untamed spirit visi ble in every motion, their bearing is that of an unconquered people. Used as a living barrier against the Tartar invasions of Russia, they were never conquered. Living in what they call camps, each with his horse and gun, they arc always ready to move in re sponse to the emperor's call. Their costume is a long, tight fitting coat reaching to the knee, having loose sleeves and a small, standing collar and with a row of ammunition pockets across the breast. The colored belt which encircles the Cossack's slender waist bristles with ornamented knives, daggers and pistols. Soft, high boots without heels and a great lamb's wool cap, with a little touch of color for the soft crown, and then the burka or long cape of hairy felt which they seem to wear in all sorts of weather com plete tlio costume. These burkas np pear to bo worn on the theory that what keeps out the cold keeps out the heat. Anyway, these long black or white garments protect horse and rider equally from the rain and cold.—Self Culture. llin tine NnKKt'Htlon. "Furthermore, John Ilenry Meeker," said Mrs. Meeker, who was standing in front of the mirror and putting the finishing touches to her toilet, "I want you to take notice that I am perfectly capable of getting ready for church without any prompting from you. and you can cough and look at your watch as much as you please—it won't liurry me a single second. I»o you clearly un derstand that?" "Yes, my dear," mildly replied Mr. Meeker, "though I think I could un derstand it a little better if you didn't have your mouth quite so full of hair pins."—Chicago Tribune. A Probable ItcKiilt.
