How to Break up a Cold
It may be a surprise to many to learn
that a severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two day's time.
To do this however, prompt action is
necessarv. The first symptoms of a
cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse
watery discharge from the nose, and a
thin, "white coating on the tongue.
When Chamberlain's cough remed y is
taken every noar on the first appear
of these symptoos, it co interacts the
effect of the cold and restores the sys
tem to a healthy condition within a
day or two. For sale by W m. Britt,
The Fifth Avenue dining rocm is
open to the public. It has been reno
vated and is the largest and handsomest
in the city, and the service is thebest.

AT THE CAPTAIN'S TABLE.

When the Ocenn Swell la High.
As the liner cleared the heads and
the heavy swell of the open Atlantic
became noticeable dinner was served.
The twenty-sis places at the captain's
table were tilled, and as the soup ap
peared the captain addressed his table
companions.
"I trust that all twenty-six of you
will have a pleasant trip," he said,
"aud that this little assemblage of
twenty-four will reach port much ben
efited by the voyage. I look upon the
twenty-two smiling faces as a father
upon his family, for I am responsible
for the lives of this group of nineteen.
1 hope all fourteen of you will Join me
later In drinking to a merry trip. I
believe we seven fellow passengers are
admirably suited to each other, and I j
applaud the judgment which chose j
from the passenger list these three per
sons for my table. You and I, my
lear sir, are"?
The captain chuckled. "Here, stew- j
ard, bring on my fish and clear away
these dishes."? Minneapolis Journal.
The earthquake Belt.
Earthquakes are more frequent In
volcanic areas, but are not coudned to
them. A great zone which Is particu
larly subject to earthquakes encircles
the earti. This belt includes the Med
iterranean lands, the Azores, the West
Indies, Central America, the Hawaiian
Islands. Japan, China, India, Persia
and Asia Minor. It Is believed that
the larger number of earthquakes orig
inate beneath the ocean. In places
where the bottom of the sea shows
great variation in depth earthquakes
are numerous. They have, in fact,
been found to be so destructive to tele
graph cables In these localities that
the cable authorities have named them
"danger zones."
Each Dny'a Supreme Event.
Every day's work should be a su
preme event In every life. We should

prima donna who la trying to hold
the world's supremacy In song comes

would breathe out the vigor and vital
ity and freshness which we put into it
Then life wonld be glorified, and the

Value of Butterflies.
When our juniors see the eommoD
white cabbuge and sulphur wing bat
terflies or even the superb Monarch
and gorgeous Ajax swallowtails flitting
through the fields or at times city
streets they perhaps never give thought
to the fact tl?"t butterflies may be of
commercial valuo. But such Is the
case. Some of our domestic butter
flies on account of rarity more than
beauty command prices from one to
several dollars, which collectors gladly
pay to insure the completeness of their
cabinets. Big prices are paid for some
of the magnificent butterflies of the
Diorpho and papilio genera, which are
rainbow hued 111 colors and span live
feet in wings. These flourish in trop
ical countries, and it Is often necessary
for museums to send out special ex
peditions for them. They range from
$10 to $100 in value.? Baltimore Herald.

port one. By some brilliant inspiration
it was suggested that this year's queen
be a newly annexed American belle
from Hawaii. The committee enthusi
astically indorsed the idea, and Mr.
Daniel Case, a former resident of To
peka, but now a citizen of Hawaii, wag
communicated with. Hs was told that
a Hawaiian belle was wanted in To
peka to fill a short engagement as
queen. He was also asked to pick out a
suitable young woman and make the
necessary arrangements. The committee
offered to pay all the traveling expenses
of the queen and see that she had a
royal time while wielding the scepter.
Mr. Case, being an obliging gentle
aian and possessing a discriminating eye
for feminine loveliness, selected Miss
boko, whose name in English is Miss
Anna Hose, her parents being American
residents of Honolulu. Sbo wrote her
letter of acceptance in tbe Kanaka lan
guage, but thoughtfully inclosed a
translation, which is as follows: "I
was greatly surprised when the com
mittee at Honolulu appoiuted by the

Pancnl'a Early Observation.
Blaise rascal, who wrote a remark j
able treatise on the laws of sound, was j
constantly observing the familiar oc
currences about him even as a boy. I
When he was only ten years old he sat
at the dinner table one day striking
his plate with his knife and then listen
ing to tbe sound.
"What are you doing with that plate,
Blaise?" asked his sister.
"See," he replied. "When I stfilse
the plate with my knife it rings.
Hark!"
Again he called forth the sound.
"When I grasp it with my hand so."
he continued, "the sound ceases. I
wonder why it is."
