A GOOD LETTER.
FROM THE CI.KRK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Fernandina , Fla. , Feb. 28 , 1896.
Mr. J. George Suhrer , Druggist , City. Dear
George : Please send a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. I would not feel easy
if I knew there was none of this valuable Rem
edy in the house. I have given it a fair test
and consider it one of the "very best remedies
for croup that I have ever found. One dose
has always been sufficient , although I use it
freely. Any cold my children contract yields
very readily to this medicine. I can consci
entiously recommend it for croup and colds in
children. Yours respectfully , Geo. E. Wolff.

A LONG INSIDE PASSAGE.
fTaTlgatlng tbe Ocean Among Thousand *
of Inlands.
Whatever may bo said andmachcan
be of ( he beauties of the Alaskan coast ,
it in not inviting to the seafaring man ,
and especially tbe muster who is taking
a ship by the inside rontp from Paget
sound to Sitka or Juneau for the first
time , a feat , so it is claimed , impossi
ble of accomplishment by a continuous
voyage save through the assistance of a
good pilot. This passageway formed
by tbe mainland coasts of British Co
lumbia and Alaska and a chain of is
lands ranging in length from 5 to 250
miles is from 100 yards to several
miles in width. The cbaunols proper
are of unusual depth. In places from
300 to 400 fathoms of water are fre
quently found. From the smooth , glassy
surface ledges and reefs , assassiiiB of
the sea , lurk , ready to send some ship ,
humanity laden , to the bottom. In these
waters the lead is supplanted by wbistlo
echoes from the laud , ( bis being the
only method during a fog by which the
oaptaiu or pilot guides bis vessel along
a safe way.
Old sna captains say there is no wa
ter course in the world where in unfa
vorable weather such skill is required
as to guide a ship via the channels on a
voyage from the sound and return , the
round trip to Sitka being more than
half the distance of the voyage across
the Atlantic. The Pacific Coast Steam
ship company's vessels running to Alas
ka are always manned with two pilots
each in the winter and spring and are
never withont one pilot. With at least
two of this company's vessels uqw run
ning to Alaska the captaius themselves
served an apprenticeship of many years
at piloting.
The outside passage , the ouo by the
open ocean , is seldom used , on account
of the unfavorable winds which prevail
for a distauco of over 50 miles out to
sea , rendering a vessel's progress much
slower , to say nothing of the danger of
ships being caught in a gale and driven
ashore. With the dauger from wreck
almost eliminated by the employment
of professional pilots , the inside passage
is rendered a most delightful voyage , as
it abounds in beautiful scenery and is
free from winds. Seattle Post-Intelli
gencer.
FEATHERED DRUNKARDS.
Shocking Depravity on the Part of Birds
Witnessed by Andrew I.ang.
A queer story is told by Mr. Andrew
Lang The incident came under bis own
notice and occurred under the bridge
over the Lochy , below the Ben Nevis
Long John distillery. From this tale it
is obvious that animals are only sober
from lack of wit to obtain alcohol :
"That establishment disgorges into a
burn a quantity of refuse , no doubt al
coholic. When we crossed the bridge in
the morning to fish , the ducks from the
farm opposite were behaving in a drunk
en and disorderly manner flying , heat
ing the water , diving , spluttering and
greedily devouring the stuff from the
distillery. Their antics were funny , but
vulgar. By 2 o'clock we found the
ducks sleeping off ( he effects of their
debauch. We awakened them , and they
all staggered eagerly to a bucket of water -
ter , from which they quenched the torments - .
ments of thirst. A small sea bird behav
ed in a still more deplorable way. He
slowly drifted down the Lochy from the
(
fatal intoxicating buru , nor could peb
bles judiciously thrown afc him induce
bim to take the wing. He tried to dive , .
making efforts comic and unsuccessful.
After drifting through the bridge I regret - ' ,
gret to say that he returned to the burn
and "took a cup of kindness yet , " get- J
ting all the more intoxicated and drift- I 1 !

mankind , who , after all , need not speak
of their boasted reasonableness ! The

ocean are as uuwiso as we. "
Reason In the I-ower Animals.
Wo have a fox terrier whoso happiness -
ness was complete until Dodgerfield
came. She is very affectionate , consequently
quently very jealous. If looks and
growls would kill , Dodgerfield would
die many times a day. Both dogs eat
from the same plate , but not at the
same time. One day last week we fed
Dodgerfield first. Tbe fox terrier was
very hungry and begged hard for first
dinner. Dodger seemed to eat more
slowly than usual , and Nettie watched
dolefully.
Finally huuger got the better of her
honesty , and she barked sharply three
short barks. Dodger left bis plate and
sprang to the window , looking excitedly
up aud down the road. Nettio looked
neither to the right nor the left , but
made straight for the plate of food as
soon as Dodger's back was turned. If
this was not an exhibition of reason and

DAC0ITS OF BURMA.
Though somewhat changed they
still exist to plunder.
Authorities Are Unable to Stop the Thiev
ing and Bo Not Often Captnro One of
the Dacoits A Sample Catte of the Inef
ficiency of the Police Ofllcers.
Burma is one of the countries that
are changing very fast , and ono of tbe
things that have changed in Burma is
the dacoit. The sportive gentlemou de
scribed by Kudyard Kipling and others
who crucified villagers wholesale and
filled old ladies with keroseuo were
flourishing in full vigor less than ton
years ago , but they already belong as
completely to ( ho past as Dick Tnrpin
and his colleagues in England. No doubt
a fresh war or any event seriously shak
ing the British power or reputation
might produce a recrudescence of the old
disease , but in the meantime the dacoits
have entirely ohauged their habits. In
stead of living together in bands in the
jungle they ere scattered through sepa
rate villages in the guise of peaceful
cultivators. During the day each man
attends to his paddy fields just like his
neighbors , and it is only at night that
they meet together for the dispatch of
their more important and lucrative busi
ness.
ness.Dacoity as defined by law is simply
robbery committed by u band of five
men or more , and it is important only
becausp of the Barman's strong natural
propensity toward it and the great diffi
culties which his national character
places in the way of his detection. It
must always bo remembered that , Burma -
ma being in a transition stage and !
much less settled than India and the
government being extremely short hand- |
cd , an immense amount of various kinds j
of work falls upon each single English
official. Hence it is wholly impossible
for hirryto exercise any close or detailed
supervision over any particular part of ,
his district. This of itself renders the i
detection of criminals a difficult mat- '
ter. When the dacoits were in the woods , 1
it was simply a case of turning out oc-
casioually to hunt them down. At present -
ent the matter must necessarily bo left
chiefly in the bands of natives.
Now , the natives are for the most '
part honest and tolerably law abiding , !
and they have no sympathy whatever J
with a man who goes dacoiting , but the •
dacoit goes armed , and the supinenocH 1
and cowardice of the Burman in the
presence of arms , more particularly of ,
firearms , are something almost incom
prehensible to the western mind. It is '
quito sufficient for a party of half a dozen i
men to have a gun among them effectt
ive or useless , loaded or empty , matters
little , the mere show is enough and
they may go fearlessly to work in the
midst of a crowd. No one will interfere j
with them. In more than one instance .
bold robbers have made successful at
tacks when armed merely with their j
dabs the dagger which every Burman
carries and with a pretended rifle made
of a stick , with which they frightened
off all opposition. 1 \
But perhaps the strange workings of
the native character are best exhibited J
in the following case , which occurred
quite recently. The facts are vouched .
for by an English officer : There was a
band of five men who were in the habit J I
of practicing dacoity occasionally. Three " >
of them came from the same village ; J
not a common thing , as it makes detection - J '
tion easier the fourth from atother 5 5
village , and , as for the fifth , no man i S
knows whence ho came , for reasons that "
will appear. Ono night these five men , :
armed with nothing but their knives •
and snears. which are used for fish in 2 . I \
in lower Burma , entered a house , tied
up the owner and began plundering.
Now , this Bouse was in a large village ,
containing not only a population of
some 1,400 , but a police post with 15
native policemen armed with sniders.
The alarm was given and the hnuso
surrounded , and then there was a pause.
The robbers continued their work nndis-
1
turbed within. The villagers , some 200
or 800 ablebodied men , all more or less
armed , sat around on the dam which
surrounds and protects every house on
the delta , looked down on tbe house and
discussed the question. The police stood
rather nearer the house and fired shots
into it through the bamboo walls , hurt
ing no one.
I 1 One solitary policeman after a time
volunteered to advance. He crept up
quite close to the house and fired in
through an opening in the wall. Then
he went farther and actually put his
head and part of his body through the
hole , apparently to see what execution
he had done. One of the robbers prompt
ly pinned him to the ground with a fish
spear and killed him. By this time they
had completed their preparations ; so
they sallied forth , each man with his
pack of plunder on his back. Though
the house was surrounded , they appear
to have had no difficulty in making
their way through , only the police fired
after them with buckshot and hit three
of them in the back , not seriously
wounding them. But one of the band
had the misfortune to stumble and fall.
Instantly the crowd rushed upon him ,
and before ho could rise literally hacked j 1
him to pieces , and so effectively that
not the slightest clew to his identity
remained. He was absolutely destroyed.
No ono knows even what was his na
tionality. The other four get clear
away. Public Opinion.
A licmarknblo Freezing ; Mixture.
A majority of readers know that a
mixture of two parts of pounded ice
and ouo part of common salt will reduce
the temperature of anything inclosed seas
as to bo wholly surrounded by the mix
ture ( say a milk can in an ice cream
freezer ) , to a point 36 degrees below
that at which water freezes. There are
but few readers , however , that know of
the remarkable properties of a mixture
of chloride of lime and ice. A mixture
of three parts of crystallized chloride
of lime and two parts of ice forms a
combination that will freeze mercury in
seven minutes. St. Louis Republic.
