i difficult to preach , and concluded to try
Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. The first bottle
gave me great relief ; the second , which 1
am now taking , has relieved me almost
entirely of all unpleasant symptoms. Tc
ministers suffering from throat troubles
I recommend Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
"Prevention is better than cure. " A
bottle of Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral kept
in the house , will effectually .prevent the
rooting of a cold and its consequent dcvel-
opement into some dangerous malady.
This remedy has no equal in Bronchial
troubles. The most stubborn cases have
yielded to its use. It is equally effective
for Asthma , Croup , "Whooping Cough , and
every disease that attacks the throat or
lungs. For years Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral has been put up only in large size
bottles at a price of * • $ i.oo. To meet an
increasing demand for a smaller sized
package the remedy can now be obtained
in halt-size bottles , at half price 50 cents.

CORAL BOR1N.G IN THE PACIFIC
Ucntilts of the Krpcdltloii Sent Out
from lCiiKlaiid.
From the Sydney Herald : Tbe
steamer Blrksgate , which arrived on
Saturday from the islands , brings fur
ther news from Ffjl concerning the
coral-boring expedition at Funafuti , in
the Ellice group. News has been
taken to Suva by H. M. S. Royalist or
the progress made by the expedition
after the departure of Professor David
in the John Williams. When Professor
ser David left Funafuti on Sept. 7
the bore was down 557 feet. On Sept.
1G , when the Royalist left Funafuti.lhe
bore was down C43 feet. The Royalist
took to Suva a letter for Dr. Corney
from G. Sweet , F. G. S. , who is now
the leader of the expedition , stating
that the boring for the last ninety feet
was chiefly in coral rock , and that no
sign of volcanic rock or of rock other
than coral had yet been met with in
the bore. When the Royalist arrived
the expedition had consumed all their
coal , but Commander Rason was en
abled to supply sufficient coal to last
them till the arrival of the steamer
Archer , from which it was hoped ; tn
additional supply would be obtained.
Professor David states that , the bore
having already exceeded the depth for
which Darwin stipulated in his classi
cal work on coral reefs , and a good
core having been obtained throughout ,
it may now be looked upon as a suc
cess. Information likely to be of con
siderable scientific value has been ob
tained , and he considers that the
general evidence so far appears strong
ly to confirm Darwin's theory that most
of the coral atolls of the Pacific have
been formed on areas of the earth's
crust which have been undergoing a
prolonged subsidence. A detailed report -
, port of the results obtained by the ex
pedition will probably be incorporated
in the report of the Royal Society of
London on the coral atoll of Funafuti ,
the earlier portion of which will be
written by Professor Sollas , F. R. S. ,
the leader of the Funafuti expedition
last year. The bore at Funafuti is
lined throughout with the best artesian - ,
sian tubes , four inches in outside di
ameter. Every foot of the bore had
to be lined with these tubes to prevent
fragments of coral rock and coral sand
choking the bore. The work of boriag
has proved very difficult on account of
the variable nature of the strata
( quicksand alternating with coral
rock ) , and also on account of the ca
vernous nature of the coral rock.which
has caused such a jarring as to re
peatedly break some of'the strongest
cast iron wheels in the machinery. The
diameter of the core obtained from
the bore is two and one-half inches.
HOW TO PREVENT DREAMS ,
Simple Kemedy Advanced by a Physl-
i-lan to Insure "Wholesome Sleep.
From the Washington Star : "After
a series of experiments on myself and
others , " ventured an experienced phys
ician , "I am convinced that many an
noying dreams , which in many in
stances rob sleep of much of its recre
ation and benefit , can be prevented if
persons will take the trouble to do so.
There are dreams which are produced
by aa overloaded stomach and indiges
tion. These can be prevented by not
overloading the stomach and taking
care , especially in the evening , to not
eat that which experience has demon
strated is not easily digested. A fairly
filled stomach , however , is less con
ducive to dreams than an absolutely
empty one. I think I can safely day
that if those persons who are troubled
much with extra dreaming will wear
extra long sleeves in their nightgowns
they will find a remedy thereby. What
is even better than long sleeves is to
put a rubber cord in the hem of the
sleeve , so that they will not slip up
on the arm. The rubber cord should
not be tight enough to interfere with
the circulation of the blood in the
arms , but tight enough to keep the
ends of the sleeves well down on the
wrists. To the bachelors and others
who cannot have their sleeves prop
erly arranged the same enect can be
secured by wearing a wrislet on the
wrist or , better yet , to pull a sock over
the hands and pin the leg of it to the
sleeves of the nightgown. In addition
to preventing dreams this simple ar
rangement will be found extremely
comfortable during the cold nights of
the next couple of months. A little in
quiry will convince anyone that those
whose wrists and forearms are uncov
ered are annoyed most by dreams.
The socle used as a kind of an extended
glove will effectually stop them , but it
must be attached to the sleeve of the
nightgown , otherwise the sleeve will
work up the arm and the desired effect
lost. My remedy , in brief , is to keep
the hand , wrist and forearm well cov
ered. "
Perhaps.
Freddie's father had just been strug
gling with an old fashioned bureau and ,
retiring disheartened from an unsuc
cessful effort to open one of its com
partments , he moved to the window
and looking out upon the lowering sky
he exclaimed : "It's mighty strange- -
that the weather bureau can't give us
a change of weather. " "Maybe , " shy
ly interposed /reddie , "they can't open
the bureau drawers. " Boston Courier.
.
An Explanation.
A long-suffering listener , after hear
ing from a youth his account of how
he and two companions kept 500 In
dians at bay for twenty-four hours ,
asked , "Do you know why the Lord
said to Ananias , 'Stand forth ? ' " Upon
receiving a negative reply he contin
ued , "Well , I don't , either , unless it was
so that you and your two companions
could stand first , second and third. "

during the

months s 0
much has been said and written of
Western Canada , and the new provinces
forming it , he has boon led to give the
subject some inquiry , and he has been
sl'iwn letters written to the Canadian
government from delegates sent out by
friends to inspect the country.
One of these delegates who was sent
to Western Canada says : "In under
taking to give a description I fear I
shall not be able to give it justice , for
I hardly know where to begin or when
to end. For a plea for my judgment ,
I will assume , for an illustration , the
experience of a man who went from
place to place In search of a wife , and
finding so many of good qualities and
attractions , was unable to determine
which to choose , so in looking for a
home in Western Canada I like the
country well , and two of my boys are
going this fall ( they have since gone ,
and each has a homestead ) , where I
am satisfied they will do well. The
lands which I have seen are far supe
rior in every respect and beyond my
expectations. Lakes and streams to be
found in all districts abound with innu
merable kinds of water fowl , while fish
are very abundant. On all sides we see
innumerable stacks of grain , proving
beyond doubt the fertility of the soil.
On either side of the track can bo seen
in addition to the grain herds cf cattle ,
horses and flocks of sheep. I have
traveled over a great portion of the
Western states and 1 have seen nothing
to compare with this country. One
hundred and sixty acres of land are
given free to actual settlers , and I saw
cases where as high as $20 per acre had
been cleared in one year. I do not wish
to advise anyone , but as for myself I
shall leave as soon as I can arrange my
affairs. " The agents of the Canadian
Government are now at work organi
zing excursion parties , and the Depart
ment of the Interior at Ottawa , Canada ,
will be pleased to supply the informa
tion to those who are not within reach
of an agent.
