Whooping Cough.
I had a little boy who wa
dead from an attack of whooping
cough. My neighbors recommended
Chamberlain's' Cough Kemedy. 1
did not think that any medicine
would help him, but after giving
him a few doses of that remedy I
noticed an improvement, and one
bottle cured him entirely. It is the

KftiX IN PREHISTORIC .TIME.
0atrr Dtt4 wttk BfeaBaki Wkaak
AvetaUek to AatlttBSv t
What were prehiatorio tunea ones are
now ao loafer so. 'Their history aaa
exfcamed and studied. In India
we knew that the aathors of the Vedaa
speak about a darker race ot Daayas
who were the inhabitant before the
Aryans. They lived la cities. But we
do not know much about them, although
It (a certain that many of the present
Inhabitants of India are their de
scendants. Some of their mounds hare
yielded flint Implements. Those which
contain antiquities are scattered all
over the country, being altuated In the
plains. Whenlhe country' wss first
peopled some of the earliest inhabitants
made their homes on these sites. The
houses were of mud or wood. In the
course of centuries the site of a town
gTew higher than the plain. Deposits
of all kinds were the cause of this ele
vation. But In the unsettled condition
of those early times no century ever
passed without the occasional destruc
tion ot the town by raiders or by inter
necine warfare. And It must have been
the case that owing to famines and epi
demics the town was often depopulated
and deaerted. Time after time, how
ever, the elevated site was again chosen
to be a place of residence, and thus in
the course of centuries the mound grew
In slxa and height. Owing to the re
currence of the causes mentioned tbe
site was altogether abandoned.
One other cause there waa the
change In the course of the rivers and
the loss of water near the surfuce. All
these sites were not similarly situated.
Rome were near supplies of stone, and
this was utilised In building as civiliza
tion spread. Some religionists use
stone extensively for temples or stupas
as well as for palaces, houses and city
walls. When stone waa not available
clay was used, the bricks made being of
great size and many of them highly or
namented. The great archaeologist, Sir
Alexander Cunningham, says that the
large size of the bricks points to a
period before the Christian era. The
molded bricks are the moat character
istics feature of all the old cities of the
Punjaub. The stone used was often
sculptured. In the Punjaub these
mounds are often rich In architectural
remains, which tell their own story of
bygone grandeur and cultivation. The
abandonment of the sites. .waa. some
times sudden in extreme, so sudden that
the Inhabitants had not time to remove
their hoarded wealth. It waa left be
hind and remains there still. Some
times the raiders gave the Inhabitants
no chance of escape. A town would be
surrounded, its inhabitants seized and
the place plundered and burned. There
is a Persian couplet which exactly de
scribes this:
Ther came, they uprooted, they burnt.
They slew, they carried away, they de
parted. After that tbe climate the rains and
the;, sandstorms covered the place
over. Nothing, however, could destroy
the mounds and their contents. Every
year the rains disclose numbers of
coins, and these find their way into the
hands of the money ehaugers in the
bazars of adjoining towns. These coins
show who waa reigning on the occasion
of the last abandonment of the site. In
the Pnnjaub the mounds have yielded
vast quantities of coins bearing inscrip
tions In Greek and Pali. The Greeks
were a people given to recording events
on stone. As yet, however, no mound
has given a Greek Inscription. Only
mounds which were regarded as being
the deposits of Buddhist remains have
been examined by the natives, and
those only partially. ' A small parcel of
ancient coins from the Akrs mound
nesr Bannu, on the northwest frontier,
contained one of Eanlahka, and hod on
Its reverse the Image ot Nannie. Her
hair Is done in a fashion which must
have necessitated the use of large pins.
Along with the coins was one of the
pins. It is fit copper and Is 1 indies
long and 0.8 inch thick. It Is surmount
ed by an Image of a female 1.6S Inches
high. What a story that pin tells of
art and vanity 1,900 years a got AH the
ancient mounds in India are the prop
erty, ot the government of India, which
has already at work several archaeolog
ical surveys, which have brought many
valuable antiquities to light But much
sculpture and many antiquities have
been quietly taken ont of the country
unknown to the government. Year by
year collections of coins are mode, and
they too disappear without our mu
seums being the richer by their ac
quisition. St. James Gazette.
Bracelets far Menu
Bracelets are generally supposed to
be ornaments for the exclusive use of
women, but It is said that men of fash
ion are beginning to wear them, just as
they wear rings on their fingers. In no
respect, do the bracelets designed for
men differ from those worn by women,
with the possible exception that the;
are a trifle lighter and larger. As a rule
they are made to fit the wrist snugly
and are partly concealed by tho cuffs
One man in this city has worn a bracelet
for over three years, during which time
it has never been removed. With htm.
however, tt ia a matter of sentiment, not
of fashion. The ornament formerly
adorned the wrist of a fair lady who
gave it to him before she had decided to
marry somebody else. Other young
men saw the bracelet, however, and,
supposing the wearing of It was due to
the Introduction of a new fashion, pro
cured similar adornments for '.them
selves. . This is believed to be the origin
of the (ad, which is one that Is not like
ly to be generally adopted. Philadel
