No healthy person need fear any dangerous consequences from an attack of la grippe if properly treated. It is much the name as a severe cold and requires precisely the HAinc treatment. Kemain quiet ly at home anl take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as directed for a se vere cold and a prompt and com pIMe ri-covi ry is sure to follow. This remedy also counteracts any tendency ot la grippe to result in pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it during the epidemics of the past two years we have yet to learn of a single case that lias not recovered or that has resulted in pneumonia. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F.

"In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough remedy, and I thin with considerable success, only being in bed a little over two days, against ten days for the first attnek. The second attack, I am ratsiied. would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy, as I had to go to bed . in about six hours after being struck with it, while in the first case I was able to atiend to business about two days before getting down. 5'J cent bot tles for sale b F.

(CopyrigbtedJ Au ludlitn Itepublic 1 wo distinguished visitors to Wash ington ' recently were T. M. Buffington, president of tho Cherokee senate, and E. C Boudinot, of the Cherokee Nation. Both are half breeds of commanding stature. Their mission was to ratify, as representatives of the nation, the sale vi the Cherokee strip to the government. In speaking of tho civilization of tle CherokeesMr. Boudinot said: "Few jkjo ple in the States realize that we have a little world practically among ourselves, and one of the most complete govern ments in existence. Our land is most fertile, and we raise all the grains of the west, and also cotton and tobacco. We receive about $150,000 interest from the federal government, and with that we support ours. We have our own con gress, the house of representatives hav ing forty members, and our senate, of which Mr. Buffington is president, eight een. Our laws are printed in both Eng lish and Cherokee. We have had a written code for seventy years. "We have our judiciary, composed of minor courts as well as district and su preme. All proceedings, however, are carried on in the English language. The system of public schools is unsurpassed, as we have 103 public and two high schools or academies. The scholastic population is between 4,000 and 5,000, and the statistics show that about nine tenths attend regularly. There is an orphan asylum, and all orphans are taken there and kept until old enough to shift for themselves. Of course we keep the girls longer than the boys unless we find good homes for them. Our chil dren in the schools and the asylum are taught industrial pursuits also. Our percentage of criminals is very light." An Ingenious Knitting Machine. A parallel knitting machine is a recent invention, designed to produce various forms of garments, such as corsets, trousers, combination garments, gloves, stockings, etc., in various patterns and colors, and of wool, silk or cotton, with or without interwoven rubber thread. In this ingenious mechanism the needle beds are formed of permanent and re movable straps of steel, separated by flanges or projections and clamped in position in the frame of the machine by means of set screws. The jacks are formed on a bar, to correspond with the width of the needle space divisions, and the cams are mounted upon a plate, being lifted out of action as the cam carriage travels along the slide bar by stops and a slotted plate. At the bottom of each bed rollers car rying Jacquard cards are mounted upon rocking arms, these cards being caused to act upon the projecting . tails of the needles by levers and 6lide bars operated by cams on the shaft. Two or more swiveling bobbins are used for producing change of colors and stripes, the num ber of swivels being determined by a pattern chain. Rubber thread is insert ed by an additional thread carrier and stops. New York Telegram. Restaurant Dummies. An invention to lighten the labors of hotel and restaurant waiters has been perfected by Thomas E. Thompson, of Chicago. The invention has some points in common with the parcel railways now in use in the large dry goods stores and is to consist of a train of slow moving cars, which, starting in and operated from the kitchen, will make the circuit of the dining room at a walking pace. The cars, which will be constructed in two tiers or shelves, will be two feet long by eight inches wide and will carry a tray made to fit them. The waiter, on taking a guest's order, will place a tray on the moving train, whence it will go direct to the kitchen to be filled and then returned by the same route. When used in lunch coun ters the train can be arranged to run un der the counter within easy reach of the waiter. The motive power will be elec tricity, and the inventor claims that his machine will insure prompt service and cause a great saving in help. Philadel phia Ledger. Gloving Buildings Across a River. A block of houses at Lawrenceville, Pa., was recently moved across the Al leghany river to Pittsburg. The under taking seemed to be difficult, but it was accomplished successfully. The build ings were first taken off their founda tions, and turned by jacks and blocks to I a position at right angles with the river. Half a dozen sand flats or floats were l then lashed together and tied up to the shore. On each float three towers of blocks were built to the height of about eighteen feet, heavy scantlings were ad justed to the river bank, and by means of ropes, rollers and pulleys the row of houses was moved onto the block foun dation aboard the floats. Tugboats were next brought into service, and in due time the buildings were towed across the Alleghany and disembarked at the new site. New York Post. A Lively Election. According to the Buenos Ayres Herald, elections in Argentina are exciting af fairs. . At the recent election at Buenos Ayres policemen armed with swords and revolvers were placed at all the street corners, the polling places were occu pied with strong detachments of police, and policemen armed with rifles were posted on the roofs of adjoining houses. The fire brigade, fully armed, was con centrated in the central police depart ment and the troops of the garrison were massed just outside the city. Every citizen elector was armed with a re volver, and the political clubs swarmed with men armed with rifles and re volvers. The electoral college of 1892 will be composed of 444 members. There will ! be 356 representatives in the next house. The basis of representation is one mem Ker for each 173.000 of noiralation. or a ' "j0"4" fraction thereof. Mrs. Mary Stattely, aged seventy j seven, of Portsmouth, O., who has been j toothless for a long time, is developing a third set of natural teet. She has nov.' j on. her lower-jaw two fully developed teeth.- OrM Feats of btrength. London has Ituen entertained lately ly by feats of strength that are certainly re markable and probably nnsurpiisxed in tuoklern time. First there was a mau named riuudow, who was an enormously I powerful man; ho was succeeded by Sampson, and ho in turn by an Iritsh ' American named Sullivan. Curiously, tho three names lnn with the letter S, which is also the initial of "strength," and of the "(Jret-k word for strength (sthenos). Sullivan, the latest comer, is thirty years of age, stands 5 feet 8 inches in height, and weighs 168 pounds. His appearance presents little that is un usual in the way of muscular develop ment, and his biceps are neither very large nor wonderfully rigid. It is in his neck and jaw that his strength chiefly lies, and the majority of his feats are such as bring this peculiarity into special prominence. I At an exhibition given in London he fastened a chain to a 56-pound weight, j and the other end being griped be : tween his teeth, swung himself around ! and around until the twirling chain as sumed a nearly horizontal line. The feat was repeated with the weigUt doubled, and as the performer, with I both hands to his hips and using every sinew in his frame, swirled around and around the audience wondered with anxiety what would happen if one of the links should fly asunder. The most remarkable feat, however, that Sullivan performed was the lifting of an elephant by his teeth. It was a "baby," 'tis true, but it weighed about 1,800 pounds and was lifted a clear three inches from the ground, its whole weight pendent from the jaw of the man above. Sullivan was not successful in an at tempt to break a chain with his arm, having injured this limb on the previous night. lie succeeded, however, in prov ing that his prowess was not entirely confined to feats with his teeth by lift ing a barrel of water, weighing 560 pounds, with the middle finger of his right hand. Harper's Young People. A Rare Find In Baltimore. A few days ago Mrs. Andrew Reid, Jr., of Mount Vernon place, who is a native of France, and whose brother is an artist in Paris, made one of the rich est art discoveries that has ever come to light in Baltimore. Mrs. Reid is a great lover of art and knows a good picture when she sees one. For a long time she has been in the habit of hunting through secondhand stores for old paintings. Several days ago, by chance, she walked into a 6tore on North Charles street. There she saw a dilapidated looking old picture, which represented the head of a French peasant. At first she did not pay much attention to the picture, but went on to examine the other old things in the store. By chance she returned to the picture, and it struck her as being a remarkably fine piece of art work. She turned it over and looked on the back, and there was the artist's name. Before her was one of the most valuable pictures in Baltimore. She immediately called the dealer and asked the price of the picture. He stag gered her by asking twenty dollars. She paid the price, took the picture home with her, and now it cannot be bought for less than thousands. It was a rich find, truly, as there are only two other pictures in Baltimore by the same artist. The picture is by Jean Baptist Greuze, and on the back of it is "Jean Baptiste Greuze, 1725 to 1808." Mr. William T. Walters owns one of the pictures, for which he paid a big price, and Mr.Leonce Robillon owns the other. Mr. Walters viewed Mrs. Reid's picture yesterday and pronounced it genuine. He says it is worth thousands of dollars. Baltimore American. Old Bones Seized. During the recent storm the heavy surf washed away several feet of the beach between Sandy Hook and Sperma ceti Cove, N. J. In one place where the sea had a clean sweep fifteen feet of the beach was upturned, and a big pile of human bones was exhumed. A number of bullets were found among the skele tons. Spanish coin 100 years old and a number of brass buttons with the nu merals 4 and 0 were also found in the mass. It is known that both American and British soldiers were encamped on Sandy Hook at various times during the Revolutionary war, but there is no rec ord of any burying ground ever having been there. The bones and other relics have been seized by relic hunters. New York Letter. A Divorce from a Dead Man. A very peculiar case is reported from Paterson, N. J., where a woman desires to get a divorce from a dead man, or rather to get her marriage set aside. Her rst husband enlisted in the war and was killed. She married again, and at the death of her second husband she ascertained that her second marriage deprived her of the benefits of the law. Subsequently she learned that her sec ond marriage was bigamous, husband No. 2 having a wife living at the time of his marriage to her. This marriage, she thinks, can be set aside as null and void, and then she will be able to pro cure a widow's pension. High Prices for Old Silver One of the most remarkable sales of old silver ever held was at Edinburgh lately. It included pieces belonging to the late Earl of Dunmore and the serv ice of St. Martin's abbey in Perthshire. Several pieces were bought on commis sion from New York. The highest price ever obtained for old silver, eighty dol lars an ounce, was given for an early Italian double handled cup and saucer, $420 being the price. The highest price heretofore had, been fifty dollars an ounce. London Letter. A Valuable Sunken Boat. An effort is to be made to raise the old British treasure ship Hussar, which was sunk near Hell Gate, Nov. 2o, 1780. She is said to have carried $4,000,000, but all efforts to raise her have been frustrated by the heavy tides and cur rents that sweep through the sound. New York Letter. TO SHiri'KKS.
