About one month ago my child, which is fifteen months old, had an attack of diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such remedies as are usually given in such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent fora physician and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for abont ten days and was having about twenty-five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that un less it soon obtained relief it would not live. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by its continued use a complete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy.—C. L. Boggs, Stumptowu, Gilmer Co., W. Va. For sale by P. C. Corrigan.

Skimper bad a novel newspaper ex perience In Frontiervllle. He landed ! in there with his outfit In a prairie schooner drawn by four mules. HI* ! staff consisted of a shock-headed boy that did everything from sweeping the eanctum, when the accumulation of paper and other things amounted to a blockade, to reporting the local events by word of mouth while Skimper put them into .English, says the Detroit Free Press. The town grew like a mushroom, for it became the center of a big mining boom, and money was plenty. For tunes were quickly made and it was not long before there sprung mp a local aristocracy, based solely on a foundation of riches. Skimper, with the true instincts of democracy, ridi culed this in a new town that had no communication with the outer world except by wagon trains and a pony ex press. The indignant women raised a crusade against him and it was not long until his advertising patronage dwin dled to less than a starvation revenue. Skimper wa3 game and swore that he would sink with his colors flying. He found his chance for sweet revenge just as he realized that he must give up the fight and seek for pastures new. There was a braneh of a national female or ganization in Frontiervllle, especially popular because of its liberal contribu tions to the cause. It was invited to vhe general round-up of the society at St. Louis and concluded to go in a body. Just as this was settled Sklm per’s paper came out with a page of summer styles, stolen from a paper ten years old. There was a great stir In the town and dressmakers were at a premium. When the Frontiersville delegation marched into the big con vention hall, wearing antiquated bon nets, teetering crinoline and full-size bustles, propriety and fraternal feeling combined could not restrain the laugh ter. As soon as money could accom plish the transformation the styles ol the visitors were brought up to data, but Skimper was never forgiven and he took retreat in a little town as far east as the Atlantic ocean would permit. WHY SHE REFORMED. The Alarm Clock Went Off In Her Hustle. “I’ve quit smuggling,” admitted the good old lady who is prone to consult her conscience and look upon the law9 of men as the outgrowth of fallible Judgment and of political prejudices, says the Detroit Free Press. “If I can get my laces and Jewelry and my dress goods for less money in the Dominion of Canada than I can here, I regard it as my right to do so. But one experi ence with the revenue officers mads them watchful of me and now I do my shopping on this side rather than be subjected to the annoyance of their sur veillance. I had gradually grown in to the habit of getting my silks wooV ens, seal goods and diamonds in .Vind* sor. In fact, I bought nearly every thing over there that I could get at a reduction and conceal about my person. One afternoon when I was there I found the daintiest and' prettiest and cheapest little alarm clock that I had ever seen. We needed such an article in the house, and, after being assured that it was a good timekeeper and to be depended upon to wake us at any desired time, I bought it. At that time bustles were a good deal larger than we wear them now and I had no trouble in conceal ing my purchase. I also had about my person several articles of silverware se cured at a bargain, and a beautiful lit tle diamond ring for a favorite niece. The Canadian officials at the landing knew me and bowed pleasantly. On this side I felt perfectly secure be cause I had been engaged in individual smuggling for years and no one had ever asked me a question. As I step ped to the dock one of the deputies lifted his hat and began to examine the basket of some poor woman who was landing. Out of curiosity I awaited the result, but right in the midst of the investigation there was a bur-r-r and a whir-r-r-r that made me faint. My alarm clock had proclaimed itself. I was caught redhanded, and they said they were letting me off easy when they confiscated the goods. That’s the only reason that I ceased to smug gle.” WALK ON HOT STONES. H A Curious and Kovoltlng Custom Among the Fijians. Fijian feet can endure more tenlble contact than the blow of a hard-hit cricket ball. There is a Fijian tribe, says the London Daily News, which might make a fortune of any entre preneur enterprising enough to bring them to civilized lcndv. They are call ed the firewalkers. About once a year they give on the island of M’uya, about twenty-two mil6s from Sava, the Fijian capital, what must be one of the most extraordinary exhibitions in the world. In a forest glade about a quarter of a mile from the shore a hole is dug in the ground about twenty-five feet wide and six feet deep. Flat stones are spread over its bottom and wood piled on them and set alight. When the stones are red-hot the burning logs are dragged away, the stones carefully made to lie as evenly as possible and all flames extinguished. A party of tribesmen, garlanded with green leaves, then descend into the pit and deliber ately walk over the glowing stones in procession. Their bare feet are not burned or even made hot. The display takes place under the eyes of specta tors, native and European. This year a steamer was actually advertised in Australia to take visitors to witness the spectacle.
