A Bad Cold
II not speedily relieved, may lead to serious
Issues. Where there Is dimculty ol breath
ing, expectoration, or soreness ol the throat
and bronchial tubes, with a constantly Irri
tating cough, the very best remedy Is Aycr's
Cherry Tectoral. It removes tho phlegm,
soothes Irritation, stops coughing, and In
duces repose. As an emergency medicine,
Ayer's Cherry l'ectoral should be In every
household.
"There Is nothing better for coughs than
Aycr's Cherry l'ectoral. I uso no other
preparation." Annie B. Butler, 100 rondst,
I'rovldenee, It I,
"I suffered severely from bronchitis
but was
CURED BY
Ayer's Cherry TectoraL It saved my life."
uco. i. uunier, uoose Hirer, 14. d.
"About a year ago I took the worst, 'cold
that ever a man had, followed by a tcrrlbla
cough. The best medical aid was of no
nrall. At last I began to spit blood, when
It was supposed to bo all over with mo.
It'ry remedy failed, till a neighbor recom
mended Aycr's Cherry l'ectoral. I tooK
hall a tc.i-:. .nful ot this medlclno, tbrco
times a dry, rcgi-Jarly, and very soon
began to Improve. My cough left mo, my
sleep was undisturbed, my appetite re
turned, my emaciated limbs gained flesh and
strength and, to-day, thanks to tho l'ectoral,
1 am a well man." u, A. Dean, 23 Winter

ON THE HOOF.
Ilavo j-ou nover rontl of a pcrson'slialt
tunilng gray In a single nlglit? Of course
you have. The old story books nre full
ot such tales. I can remember dozens of
them stories reeking with gore and
dank with dungeons, and grewsome with
ghosts nnd other uncanny things. The
heroiuo, and sometimes tho hero, goes to
bed at night with lmir as black na the
raven's wing, and along in the night
come the horrors, whatever they nre, and
in tho morning the raven hair has tnmod
n snowy white.
I can rouiembor, too, that I nover used
to take any stock in such stories. I used
to hear them road, and get up quite a
respectable thrill nt the most horrible
portions, especially when the candle
fllckorod awhile, leaving everybody in
total darkness, just as a deep groan was
heard or n long, shuddering cry, liko tho
wind through the weeping willows in a
gravoj-ard.
Oh, yes! I was unito suscoptiblo to
touching parages liko thoso, anil I usettl
to uurry up to tieil ana tuck my head
under the idol lies ami shiver with the
most timid of llie::i. Dut somehow or
other 1 could nut accept tho hair turning
part of the BVy. I knew that hair,
black or white, could stand on end, but
that a good 1end of black hair would
bleach itself out between dark and day
light was n little too much to swallow.
I know better now. I have had a lit
tle experience of my own which but
perhaps it is best to tell the story aa it
occurred.
It was on the roof of the cathedral at
Milan. We had climbed tho stairs in
the Into afternoon of beautiful spring
day, after paying the custodian tho in
signillcant prico he asked for all the
glories visible from the elevated station.
We had hioked through the telccopo
for another fee and had each assured
the others Hint we saw Mont Blanc per
fectly woll, without for a moment be
lieving what the others said or convinc
ing them that we told the truth, and
had ended mv climbs by ascending to
tho highest point under tho lantern if
it U a lantern by tho corkscrew stair
case, which will scarcely permit any but
tne thinnest liersoni to pass when one Is
going up and tho other coming down.
Wo wero n party of four, and when
tho root was reached tho 3'onngest pro
posed a ramble over that portion of tho
structure To tills all unt myself as
sented. 1 wa3 tirod and proposed to
rest awhilo ut tho foot of tlio tower
stairs, where the others wero to pick me
up on their return, so that wo might all
descend together. This was satisfac
tory and off they started.
For a time I was nuito comfortable.
and paid no attention to the passago of
timo; but I suddenly noticed that it was
getting dark and that my companions
had not returned. I called to them first
in a moderuto tone of voice, then more
loudly, but received no answer.
I earing that thoy would be belated on
tho roof 1 started in search of them. I
walked tho entiro length of tho ridgo of
the main roof nnd peered down all the
Eido passages in tho gathering dusk, but
caught no glimpse of my companions,
Then 1 descended to the roof of tho nislo
and made a search there which was also
fruitless. I lwaniojilanned as tho light
iaiieu, ana run from one point to an-
other, calling out as I ran, until I found,
to my great distress, that I had 'lost my
way. I could see far below mo tho lights
of tho great city and hear tho distant
rumbling of tho carriages as they drove
past on the atony streets.
Hut 1 was as effectually lost for the
moment us if I had been in the heart of
an African jungle without a compass
and no Stanley on the alert to hunt me
up. In the oxcitemcnt and uospaii
which the consciousness of this f uct pro
duced, 1 rushed about so wildly that I
slipped and fell on a long flight of stone
stops, wot with tho dew which had be
gun to fall. 1 was not conscious of nny
serious Injury from the fall, but when 1
brought up ut tho foot ot the stairs and
tried to regain my footing, 1 found, to
my despair and horror, that I was utter
ly unable'to inovo my limbs. I was par
alyzed.
The mental agony 1 suffered is lncon
ceivnble. Yet curiously enough 1 spent
the first moment in speculating as to
tho exact nature ot the injury I had sus
tained. Had 1 broken my back or sim
ply injured my spinal oord? I tried to
recall what 1 had heard my doctor
friends say about injuries of similar
character, but could not seem to remem
ber anything definite. The words, "the
fifth pair," flashed into my mind and ap
peared to connect themselves in some
way with my conditions bnt whether it
was the fifth pair of nerves or ribs, or of
something else, I could not inako out.
I could not understand either how I
oould have been so seriously injured
without any sensible shook, but that my
power ot locomotion was gone there ums
no doabt. I could move my hands and
I began to speculate on the number of
things one could do with one's hands
alone. This occupied me tor what
seined to be on hour; but aa the train
ot thought was interrupted by a clock
striking tho hour of midnight, 1 co'i-
oluded it most have been much longer.
and wondered I had not heard the pre
ceding uours.
Suddenly the full horror of uiy coudi'
Uon flashed upon me. I was not only
doomed to remain where I was, helpless
anil alone, during the long chilly hours
ot the uiglit, but there was no certainty
that I would ever get away alive. My
friends would never dream that I was
there. They had undoubtedly con.
eluded that I luul gone down, and if
tney uuasea me would search every.
where bnt in the right place. It might
be days before the particular spot in
which I lay would be visited, anil in
tnat case It would be too late. Btarvu
tlon would do for me, even if the Injury
I had received did not lu my anguish
i snneceu aumu, out wss dolly cou
scions all the time that nobody could
hear me. Visitors and oustodlans alike
must have departed boors before; and
even if my cries wore heard from the
streets below nobody would attribute
Inem to their real source.
To the feeling of acute anguish soo-
oeeded one of blank despair. 1 no longer
speculated on the possibility of being
dtlswovered, dead or alive. There was a
doll leaden feeling st my chest, and 1
found myself repeating mechanically
old rhymes and jingles and saying the
alphabet I .vard. aa I once learned to

uom seemng relief from insomnia. Vet
nt the same timo 1 was conscious that
my whole life was passing in review be
fore me, as they say it does when one is
drowning or being hanged. I remem
bered that saying, too, and without any
cessation of the review I wondered in
my doubled consciousness if 1 wero
undergoing tho sensations of a drowning
man, or'of one being hanged, and wished
I could pnt them down on paper for the
benefit of the rest of maukind.
What struck me as singular was that
the clocks kept on striking twelve. The '
second time they did this I thought 1 must
havo lost consciousness for an entiro day,
and that this was the second midnight.
But when the third stroke of twelve
came from half a doren clocks, 1 knew
it oould not lw two days since I had
fallen.
1 thought first that I bad become) do
mented; and then It occurred to mo that
If I wero I could hot, 'Aeon about it in
that fashion, so the clocks themselves
must be crazy. This theory satisfied mo
until tho striking began again, when I
went oft in another fantastio speculation.
My friends had discovered that I was
missing, and were having tho bells rung
to keep my spirits up.
Oh, the long, long, weary hours I
Bpent in waiting for n glimpse of day
light. I had no hopo that daylight
would bring mo nny relief, but tho pros
pect of staying whero it was endless mid
night seemed unendurable. I groaned
and wept and dug my nails into the
palins of my hands until it soemed as if
tho blood would come; but I did not
oven feel any senso of pain.
It must havo been after the clocks had
struck midnight a dosseu times or moro
1 kept no oxact account that I saw
in the distunce at what seemed to bo tho
farther end of tho cathedral roof two
faict glimmers of light. Presently thero
wero two moro and then two moro,
until thero was a regular procession of
them. I tried to shout, but liad become
so wonk with cold and snffering that I
could not ralso my voice above a whis
per.
iiie lights nevertheless approached.
growing gradually btronger, until I
could see that they wero borne by sever
al black-robed iiguros who wero march
ing besido a coiun. As tho procession
moved slowly toward mo 1 began to
wonder what it meant, and whether
funerals took place at midnight on the
roof of Milan cathedral. Then I specu
lated a moment on tho propriety of dis
turbing the obsequies evon in my ex
treme need. Suddenly it dawned upon
mo that this was my own funeral, and 1
knew that I was either dead or had gone
mad. In tho supremo anguish ot this
discovery all memory of past Buffering
was blotted out, and I entered on a now
period of tho most oxqnisito torture.
1 ortunately, It was of brief duration.
As tho foremost of tho moving figures
reached me I felt a grasp on my arm
and a voice called in my ear:
wako up, father; its time to be
going down. I guosa you must havo had
your yoko turned."
It was my daughter, and beside her
wero tho rest of tho party, flushed with
their ramblo on tho roof. I straightened
out my cramped limbs, which must have
gono to sleep about the timo I did, and
pulled out my watch, I had been there
just fifteen minutes.
I don t mean to bo understood that my
hair really did tum gray in that night
of horror on Milan cathedral. In the
first place there is not much of it and
what there is has been tolerably gray for
some years. Put I do mean to say that
I am no longer Incredulous as to tho
possibility of Buch a capillary chango as
tho story books tell about. 1 am quite
euro that if any man or woman really

THE MA1UTIME ALPS.
It is not easy to find one's way with
out a guide in tho Allies Maritlmes. A
company of tourists moro venturesome
than prudent discovered that not long
ago. Thoy liad started from tho charm
ing inn of La Uirandola, perched on a
rock on the banks of tho Boya, and In
tended to climb tho peak of Uonella, in
order to get u view of tho high ridgos.
Thoy missed their way, passed tho ioint
they wero seeking, and continued up and
down, almost all tho timo through the
woods, until at last fallgno causod them
to stop. Tho ladies of tho party wero in
despair and began to talk of dying of
hunger in thoso foarf ul solitudes, when
tho notes ot n bnglo wero heard in tho
distance.
Tlio tourists recognized tho French
clairon, which is much shriller than tho
Italian cornet, and advancing in the di
rection of the sound, they wero soon out
of the wood nnd withbi view of ii troop
on the march, a battalion of chasseurs
do montagne. with gray dolmans and
trousers and leggings. As they ad
vanced, tho tourists distinguisbod clear
ly the column developing lU spirals ou
tho side of n steep spur, mounting from
the deptlis of the valley ot Luceran to
ward the peak of La Ualuiette. On a
point to the left a group halted, forming
the vanguard; the main body of tho
troop climbed slowly, followed by n
long line of mules.
At that moment the firing of a cannon
re-echoed from rock to rock and an
nounced the beginning of the nttack.
Little by little all the battalion got foot
ing ou the top of the spur, doployed ou
this dimoult ground, and advanced
toward the principal peak. The mus
ketry rattled, backed up by the thunder
ing of the artillery. Lines of agile foot
Eoldiers rose from the hollows of the
rocks, from tho midst pf the bushes,
from tho irregularities of tho ground,

The proposition was promptly accept
The bugle Bounded the signal for
ed

the backs of the ambulance mules, ac
companied by the men of their party,
and Intrusted to tho rare ot the doctor
of the battalion. For a time the road
was fairly good. An hour's march
brought them to tho woodcutters' camp,
a group of huts inhabited by tho men
who work for the forest. Here the
mules' straps wero tightened, their shoes
examined and their burdens carefully
put in order, for tho last part of the road

loose fragments of rock, is hampered by
roots and branches of trees. Their step
shows that they aro accustomed to the
mountain, its Bteep patlis and Its rarefied
air. Their 1 nngs, liko their muscles, are
itrengthened by these repeated exercises
in tho woods, on tho heights and across
tho glaciers all through the fino months
of tho year.

path runs over tho rock itself; tho zig
tags aro so short that thoy havo scarcely
tho length of a mule. Tho animals nd
vanco but very slowly, and by tho timo
the ainbul&nce reaches tho plateau the
soldiers havo already been thero some
time, and the bivouao has lieen rapidly
formed. "
Tho officer in command comes for
ward to meet tho tourists, nnd to their
great surprise proposos to conduct them
lo their hotel. They follow him. The
mules stop at tho extremity of tho pla
teau, where tho woods begin. Under
tho trees a bivouao has been installed
for tho tourists. A gourbl of pino
branches will protect them from the
coolness of tho night. Tho entranco is
decorated with bouquets of mountain
flowers.
'Here is your homo for one day, incs-
James," says tho officer. "Wo will send
you tho mule litters, and with somo fern
and a rug jon will havo n fairly com-
fortablo beu."
We accent tho lodging, but not tho

then pcrhapi wo shall tako n day's rest.
My men nro In perfect training. Now I
will leavo you, mcsdaines. In nn hour I
will come to tako yon to dinner."
At tho appointed time tho officer came,
and all the tourists followed him across
the plateau, admiring the splendid pan
orama spread out beforo them. From
tho summit of tho Aution (3,060 meters)
they saw at their feet, liko n gigantic
ditch, tho valley of tho Mlmicra joining
tho Roya at the oast near San Dalinazzo,
and commanded by nn Italian fort, the
most advanced of the works that defend
the Col do Tende. Beyond tho depth of
the Miniicra roso the lost chain of the
Alpes Maritlmes, throwing up heaven
ward the ridge Del Diablo (2,087 meters)
and tho peak L'Ablsso (3,75 meters), an
enormous mass, with its snowy covering
tinted roso by tho setting sun a grand
and striking spectacle, especially when
seen from tlio midst of n bivouac, itself
always 60 curious and so attractive.
Iho Beutinels watch ns thoy paco to
and fro. Tho mules browse the scant
but tasty grass of tho high plateaus.
Seated on old tree trunks the officers
finish their itineraries, complete their
notes, draw np reports on the country
they havo traversed, make sketches of
tho distant mountain silhouettes. Tho
soldiers sing us thoyilsn their arms,
shout, rim and nmuso themselves with
games. To see their movements nnd
their activity you would never think
that they had marched twenty-five
miles and accomplished a maneuver
amid all the obstacles ot mountainous
ground. Tho Italians have reason to bo
proud of their Alpine companies. Our

cut down in time of former wars, Bervo
as scats. A big fire nnd torches formed
of pino branches light the guests at this
original and rustic feast. At snch an
altitude frugality is obugatory, never
thelesa the fare is quite respectable. The
chief dishes nro red partridges and civet
de chamois, pino mushrooms, nn ice
made with owes' milk and snow, while
strawberries, arbutus berries and wild
forest fruits, served in nests ot moss,
formed tho dessert. Tho tourists aro do-
lightcd, and thank the officers by drink
ing their health, nnd soon all retire to
rest.
At daybreak the battalion resumes its
march along tbo ridge, alternately
through woods nnd across meager pas
turages. The solitude is absolute except
for some pastorollo guarding his goats,
which seem literally to cling to the moun
tain side, ihevlewls marvelous when
tho distance appears through a rent in
the opaline morning mist.
The road gets worso and becomes ab
solutely execrablo at tho point where
tho grand descent begins, nnd whero the
track is scarcely marked out of the
Binuosities of tho rocks. At one point
great blocks overhang; at another sharp
projections have to be turned; almost
all the way the road follows the edge of
a precipice.
Une cannot Imagine how the mules
will pass with their burdens, or how
they can even get footing in this danger
ous pass. The battalion passes without
winking, as u tt were the simplest
thing in the world, and tho mountain
battery follows in ite turn. But not the
tourists; they find the danger too immi
nent and dismount, preferring to treat
to their feet. Meanwhile they wait till
the path is free, sitting on a granite
promontory, and watching the whole bat
tery defile along this track, which seems
Impracticable even for the goats them
selves. It is a work of strength and pa
tience and requires as much skill aa it
does coolness.
The soldiers hold np the mules and
even their burdens by means of ropes.
Thus relieved, the animals glide along
rather than walk, stiuening their fore
legs and almost touching the ground
with their hind quarters. A few acci
dents happen, but, thanks to the mani
fold precautions and to the care of the
drivers, they are rarely serious; the
mules that fall are soon put on their
feet again. At last this long and perilous
pass is cleared: the battery and the
am balance rejoin the battalion, and
after a short halt the march is resumed
and La BoUene is reached.
The tourists rushed into the hotel, de
lighted to and themselves oaoa more In
a civilised place, and to be able to rest
for a few hours. The column, however.
conUnoed its march. Later on the
tourists started for Nice in a carriage.
Toward the end of the day they over
took the indefatigable chasseurs, who
were still marebing along, although
more than twelve boors had paired since
they hod begun their day's work. From

wit is. Dr. l.u.u' Barrow, a famous
English divine nnd a man of brilliant
wit himself, ha, givt a the best definition
yet known, .in 1 h" i uufesses that "often
it consisteth m hardly knows whn! '
He says, in hii Id fashioned style

to a known si , or in seasonable appli

an oppwite t ilo Sometimes it pluyetb
in words anil phrases, taking advantage
from the ambiguity of their senso or the
affinity ot their sound; sometimes it
lurketh under an odd similitude: somo
times it is lodged in a Bly question, in a
smart answer, in a qnirklsh reason, in a
shrewd iraitu inn, a tart irony, a lusty
hyperbole or u startling metaphor; some
times nn ivffictrd simplicity nnd some
times a presumptuous bluntness givcth
it being; sometimes it arises from a
lucky hitting upon Tvjhat is strange!
sometimes from a craTmjfrcstling of
6bvfous matter to tho Pufbosj?1"
