Some Earthquake Statistics.
About 50 earthquakes yearly disturb
the world throughout its mass. Prof.
John Milne notes that between Jan. 1,
1899, and Jan. 1, 1902, the world shaking
earthquakes numbered 198,of which 25
originated west and south of Alaska,
14 west of Central America, 16 west of
the Antilles, 12 west of the Andes, 29
east of North Japan, 41 south and east
of Java, 17 north of Mauritius, 22 on the
east side and 3 on the west side of the
North Atlantic, 3 in the North Atlantic,
and 14 in the Balkan, Caucasian and
Himalayan regions. Shese sources—
all submarine but the last three—are
near the base of the steepest flexures,
with boundary ridges mostly lined
with volcanic peaks. Both onland and
under sea, the great earthquakes seem
to attend a deepening of the furrows
and an elevation of the flanking ridges,
and the elevation may re-open long-
sealed volcanos, as in the eruptions in
the Antilles in 1698, 1618, 1766, 1797,
1802, 1812, 1838 and 1902. The small
earthquakes—of which 10,000 a year
are recorded—have no sensible con-
nection with volcanoes.
There is no cough medicine so popu-
lar as Foley’s Honey and Tar. It con-
tains no opiates or poisons and never
fails to cure. E. H. Miller. 11-27
Sold His Famous Moouashine Farm.
Word from Connellsville says that
“Old Bill” Pritts, the famous moon-
shiner of the Laurel Hill mountain, has
sold his farm to a company which will
erect thereon a legal distillery. Regis-
ter and Recorder P. A. Johns. of Fay-
ette county. is at the head of the move-
ment, believing there will be money in
the business. On the farm, which is in
Saltlick township, Fayette county, just
over the Somerset county line. there is
a never-failing spring of sparkling wa-
ter, rye can be purchased near by at
close figures, and a railroad is project-
ed into the territory; so the prospects
look alluring.

The Best Remedy for Croup.
: From the Atchison Kan., Daily Globe.
| This is the season when
who knows the best remedies for croup
|is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
{ of the night by a whoop from one of the
| children. The croup remedies are al-
There used to be an old-
fashioned remedy for croup, known as
hive syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. It causes the patient to “throw
up the phlegm” quicker, and gives re-
lief in a shorter time. Give this reme-
dy as soon as the croupy cough appears
and it will prevent the attack. It never
fails and is pleasant and safe to take.

When Are Wa Strongest?
The muscles, in common with all the
organs of the body, have their stages
of development and decline ; our phys-
ical strength increases up to a certain
age, and then decreases. Tests of the
strength of several thousands of peo-
ple have been made, and the following
are given as the average figures:
The “lifting power” of a youth of 17
years is 280 pounds; in his twentieth
year this increases to 320 pounds; and
in the thirtieth and thirty-first years
it reaches its height—365 pounds. At
the end of the thirty-first year the
strength begins to decline, very slowly
at first.
By the fortieth year it has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at a sligtly increasing rate until
the fiftieth year is reached, when the
figure is 330 pounds.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the weak-
ness of old age is reached. It is not
possible to give statistics of the decline
of strength after the fiftieth year, as it
varies to a large extent in different in-
dividuals.
“One of my children was taken with
cramp colic and suffered severely,”
says S. B. Elzee, of Monett, Mo. “Itele-
phoned for a doctor, then gave a dose
of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, and a few minutes
later a second dose. Before the doctor
came the child was relieved.” For

A LUCKLESS LOVER.
I broke it off with Anna Long—
She was too short, you see;
With Mabel Wright things all went wrong
We never could agree;
Then there was awkward Mary Blue,
Who was so very green;
And Bessie Goode would never do,
_ ‘Because she was so mean.
t couldn’t last with Jennie Reade,
Because she wouldn’t write;
And, after just one day, I freed
Myself from Nellie Knight;
1 soon concluded that Miss'Crewe
Must seek another mate;
And gave up Edith Early, too,
Because she came down late.
Miss Wood possessed an iron will;
Miss Gay was always sad;
Miss Sharp could see the point, but still
She said my jokes were bad;
Miss Rich was destitute of “tin”;
Too melting was Miss Frost;
In earnest, then, I wooed Miss Winn,
And—same old luck !—I lost!

A Policeman's Testimony.
J. N. Patterson, night policeman of

least half dozen advertised cough medi-
cines and had treatment from two
physicians without getting any benefit.
A friend recommended Foley’s Honey
and Tar and two-thirds of a bottle cured
me. I consider it the greatest cough
and lung medicine in the world.” E.
H. Miller.
W. A. Herren, of Finch, Ark., writes,

I zema, tetter, salt rheum, and all other
skin diseases. Look for the name of
DeWitt on the package-—all others are

If you have a bad cold you need a
good reliable medicine like Chamber-
| lain’s Cough Remedy to loosen and re-
lieve it, and to allay the irritation and
inflammation of the throat and lungs.
The soothing and healing properties of
this remedy and the quick cures which
it effects make it a favorite everywhere.

A Miracle In China.
Actors in China are very well paid,
but are much despised. No actor or
son of an acter, says the Chicago News,
can compete at the public examina-
tions for the literary degree which is
the doorway to public office, and con-
sequently the actor’s profession, when
once adopted. is vital to those who foi-
low it.
An English doctor was called to at-
tend a young actor whose leg was in a
bad condition from careless treatment.
The foot had been amputated as a re-
sult of compound fracture caused by
a fall on the stage. Filth and neglect
had done the rest, and there was very
little chance of the man’s recovery.
Still the doctor felt justified in taking
that chance and therefore amputated
the man’s leg. * To the surprise of the
doctor, the leg healed by first inten-
tion, and in a few weeks the actor
was ready to resume work. The doctor
fitted him with an artificial leg, and
his good fortune began.
He at once undertook a part where
his leg was knocked off, to the horror
of the audience. After the apparent
accident he was carried off the stage
and presently reappeared, walking as
well as before.
The Chinese are unfamiliar with ar-
tificial legs, and each time the dramat-
ic incident occurred they regarded it
as a miracle.
Aroused His Curiosity.
The agitated young man began:
“Mr. Brockman, you may have no-
ticed that I have been a frequent caller
at your house for the last year or
more.”
“Yes,” replied the busy merchant, “I
have seen you there now and then, I
remember.”
“You will not be surprised therefore
when I tell you that I want to marry
your daughter.”
“But”’—
“Let me anticipate any objections you
might have, Mr. Brockman. I am of
good family, I am not dissipated, I have
a good business and am abundantly
able to support a wife. All I ask is”—
“But, young man’’—
“I can bring testimonials to prove all
I say. I have never wanted any other
girl, and”—
“But’—
“And never shall want any other
girl. From the first it has been a case
of" —
“IL.ook here, young man, let me get

daughters is it you want?’—Chicage

Duties of the “Pet” Shecp.
Out at the abattoir the “pets” among
the sheep may be distinguished by
their superior height and shapeliness
and by the intelligence of their expres-
sion. The pets are murderers. In the
other pens sheep come and go by thou-
sands to the slaughter, but the pets re-
main. They are trained to lead their
fellows to death, and they do this work
well, for they have by reason of their
strength, intelligence and beauty a
great influence. When the butchers of
the abattoir wish to slaughter a flock
of sheep word is passed to the pets,
and they indifferently, calmly, saunter
in among the flock, gain their .confi-
dence and esteem and then take their
places at their head and lead them
to the slaughter house. — Philadelphia
Record.
The Dwarf Palm of Algeria,
The dwarf palm, which furnishes
considerable quantities of fiber, grows
in great profusion in Algeria and is one
of the principal obstacles to the clear-
ing of the land, so thickly does it grow
and so difficult to pull up. Its roots, in
shape resembling carrots, penetrate
into the ground to the depth of a yard
or more, and when its stem only is cut
it sprouts out again almost immediate-
ly. As its name indicates, this palm is
very small and can only attain a cer-
tain height when protected, as in the
Arab cemeteries, for example.
Palmistry.
“l see financial troubles ahead of
you,” said the gypsy as she scrutinized
the lines in Softleigh’s palm.
“What is the cause thereof?’ asked
the innocent youth.
“I see a dark woman,” continued the
dealer in futures, “who is destined to
cause you trouble in money matters.”
“As I expected,” groaned the callow
youth. “That washerwoman is going
to hold my laundry for ransom again.
Oh, woe is me!”—Chicago News,
