We will tell you. To cure a cold quickly, it must be treated before the cold has become set tled iu the system. This can always be done if you choose to, as nature in her kindness to man gives timely warning and plainly tells you in nature's way, that as a punishment for Some indiscre tion, you are to be afflicted with a cold unless you choose to 'ward it off by prompt action. The first symptoms of a cold, in most cases, is a dry, loud cough and sneezing. The cough is soon fol lowed by a profuse watery expectoration and the sneezing by a profuse watery discharge from the nose. In severe cases there is a thin white coating on the tongue. What to do? It is only neces sary to take Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy in double doses every hour. That will geatly lessen the severity cf thy cold and in most cases will effectualle counteract it, and cure what would have been a severe cold in one or two days' time.

A story about tho head of the bunking house of Rot h.-idiilds was related at tho Grand Pacific hotel by Raron Ileinrich, of Berlin. "Some years ago the old cashier of the great establishment, " said the Baron, "went to Rothschild and told him that after thirty years of service ho had managed to save 250,000 francs and he desired to go into business for him self. His employer regretted his cashier's departure, but bade him good luck. The cashier embarked in speculation and in a short time lost every cent. Recogniz ing the fact that while he was a good servant he was a poor master, he called on the Rothschilds, told bis story and asked for re-employment. "The banker installed him in his old place, iind advancing him a year's salary advised him to invest it in a certain stock. The cashier did so. The banker instructed his brokers how to act, and between them they sent the price up to a point at which the banker advised the cashier to sell. The cashier did so at a profit that recouped for all his losses. The price then settled down to its nor mal figure, and the banker charged him self with the 250.000 francs which he knew his old employe would have been too proud to take outright as a gift." Chicago Post. The Price of Wisdom. There is nothing stranger to youth than the persistency with which age prof fers its experience; there is nothing more trying to age than the determination of youth not to accept it. The fathers, mothers and guardians who have learned their hard lessons would be glad to iiat part their knowledge, without its ruin ous price, to those they love. But the youngsters will have none of it. No; they must buy their own wisdom, "dree their own weird," "pay the piper" them selves. No yearning affection can shield them from the trials and temptations they rush so gayly to meet. But why should the elders continually mourn that such is the case? They have sient their lives in learning how to live. So did their predecessors. Their chil dren will do the same. The law is uni versal. Knowledge comes only with age and wisdom with the close of life. It must be that it was so intended. The blunders of youth, the struggles of ma turity, the regrets of age, are all part of the inevitable training of each soul; a training necessary before it is prepared to enter on a fuller life. Harper's Bazar. Tlie Interview. To the newspaper interview we are indebted for a vast amount of enlight enment, learning and wisdom that the interviewer has got from men who, with out his suggestion, would never have given it to the werld. The principle of interviewing, going right to the source of information, gives us accuracy also. And take it all in all, the American newspaper contains the most truthful history that has ever been written. A fine interviewer is one of the most valuable men on a great journal. He must be a man of education, acquainted with affairs, skilled in the use of words; above all, he must possess an instinctive understanding of human nature. A fine man who is being interviewed is like a fine fish that you have hooked. You will fail if you attempt to "yank him." You must humor him a little; play out and reel in; let him have his own way, and then he is lost and you land him. Philadelphia Ledger. Defects and Excellencies. "1 am sorry, Henry," said Uncle George, "that you exhibit so little pro ficiency in orthography. That letter you wrote to Mr. Brown the other, day Lad so many misspelled words that it set the whole counting room m a roar.'' "H'm!" said'Henry. "That's just the way in this world. There were a good many words in that letter that I know were spoiltd right, but of course I get no credit for that." Boston Transcrixt.

The Dublin and Wrightsville railroad, extending a distance of nineteen miles between two Georgia towns, has been called the "cheapest railroad in the world."

Fur thermore, the senses ;ire thought t-s! p with different degrees of profoundness. The sense of touch sleeps the im-.t lightly and is the most ci-ily av.-.tl;. !, 1 ; the next easiest is the hearing; the next is the sight, and the taste and spelling awake the last. Another remarkable circumstance de serves notice; certain muscles and parts of the body begin to .sleep before otte rs. Sleep commences at ibo t x! ivM:ti s, be ginning with the feet ami legs, and creeping toward the center of nervous action. The m cessii y for keeping the feet warm and peri.ctiy sliJl as a pre liminary of sleep is we'll known. From these explanations it will not appear surprising that, with one or more of ihe senses, and perhaps al.-. one or m re parts of Ihe body, imp rfectly asleep, there should be at the same time an im perfect kind of mental action, which produces the phenomenon cf dreaming. Chambers' Miscellany. Senator IIersl'M Men In Iurlr:tm. One day while the late Senator Hearst was a young man and yet had his fi.rt une to make ho ami a few companions were tm a prospecting tour. Along in the afternoon they sighted a hand of In dians, and, as in lhei.se days all Indians were hostile, Mr. Hearst and his friends naturally wanted to get away from there. All the prospi v tors. except the future senator, were mounted on horses. He was on a retired army mule, and soon found himself left in the rear. The In dians were on his trail and thiriLrs began to look serious, when he caiied out to his rapidly disappearing companions: "Hold on, boys; there's only a few of them. We needn't be afraid." Just then the mule scented the ap proaching Indians, and with a wild snort started out at a gnit that soon left the horsemen far behind. When Hearst was about a quarter of a mile iu advance he turned in his sadddle and yelled at the top of his voice: "Hurry up, boys; you'll get scalped. There's more'n a hundred of them." Chicago Post. Wyoming' Woman Miner. Mrs. Shane, a widow with two chil dren, came to Wyoming two years ago and took up her residence in Jawbone gulch, Silver Crown mining district, where she took a claim and with her own hands has kept up the assessment work. The claim promises to be a pay ing one, and already she has uncovered a body of rich gold quartz, with indica tions of richer ore as depth is gained. Mrs. Shane is a soldier's widow, and is a lady of fine education. Her cabin in Jawbone gulch bears evidence of refine ment, and while it is in one of the most out of the way places in the camp she has any number of visitors, among whom will be found tho best people of Silver Crown .'ind the surrounding country. To judge i'lvm appear::m.-e she is about thirty-five years old. She has brown hair, blue eyes and fair and intel lectual face. For the past year she has been teaching the Silver Crown public school, by which means she has made her living while waiting for her niinu tc reach pay. Cor. Denver Republican. Doctors Are Safe. When the devil was sick his eagerness to become a monk is historical. A small New Yorker has been finding in the same way that altered conditions have a pronounced effect upon one's am bition. He is the son of a lawyer, i and his admiration for his father has led him to announce frequently that when he became a man he intended to be in "just the same business as papa." He fell ill, however, and the services of the family physician were sought with prompt and fortuitous effect. Convalescence is apt to engender reflection, and the small Robert became thoughtful the other af ternoon, with this result: "I guess, mam ma," he said, apropos of nothing, "I will not be in papa's business when I grow up. I would rather be a doctor, because, you see, he can't die." Her Point of View in New York Times. Tacts About a Venerable loose.

On In ing pressed for an explanation tin; su-aager mid the following remarka ble .story: "Ten years ago I was hunting s-vi otters on one of the- wild'-st parts of tie.- coast of Washington, several mile.s north of the (jiuillayute Indian reserva tion, between Destruction Island and Cape Flattery. It is one uf the wildest and most out. of the way places on tlw coast. 1 had been shipwm ked on Do st ruction Island, and had been rescued bv the Quillayute Indians and had been living with them several years, and had married tin- daughter of no of tho head men of the t ribe. a. ua no Knot's rr.ncit. "I was happy and contented, for, after years spent in the forecast le of a ship, tie life I led among the Indians was comparatively pleasant and luxurious. Besides, as I told you, I had saved up several thousand dollars, when in a mo ment, by tho freak of a stupid, bull headed, humpbacked whale, I was torn from in' home and family and cast pen-, nii-'ss on the shores, of a stranger and wilder country than, the one I had so un ceremoidou.dy left, among people, com pared to- whom my (uillayuto friends were civilized and intelligent. "You know, of course, lirr.v sci otters are shot by the hunter having a stand rigged up away out as far from the shore as po.-siblc, by setting up three tall poles, ,o that they cro;ss a few feet from the 'top, and by building a kind of crow's ncsi in the top of this frail structure. I hail rigged up one of the.-e stands away out at low water mark and made it as comfortable ivs possible, and soim -t imes spent two or three days out there, my wile keeping a lookout aud securing any otters or seals I shot. 1 I was doing first rate, owing to being so far out, and, al though several times badly scared by rough weather and by schools of whales, which came around my lookout, I could not think of giving it up for a place which laight be safer, but where I could not kill so many otters. "The last time I got into my lookout was early one morning. As the weather had been stormy I was expecting that otters and seals would be coming near the shore, so I took along a good supply of provisions and water and plenty of tobacco and ammunition, expecting to stay out two or three days. As soon as it was light and the tide was near the flood, I saw a number of otters, lying asleep in the water just beyond- range, and while I was waiting for them to drift down toward me along came a school of half a dozen or more of the Maall whales common on that coaot. OFF TO SEA ON A WHALE. "They came toward my lookout rolling nd spouting and playing, and at length I saw one of them making right for the lookout.
