Chamberlain' Cough Remedy the
Very Beat.
"I have been using Chamber-
lain's Cought Remedy and want
to say it is the best cough med-
icine I have ever taken , n says
Geo. L. Chubb , a merchant of
Harlan , Mich. There is no ques-
tion about it being the best , as
it will cure a cough or cold in' '
less time than any other treat- .
ment. It should always be kept
ready for instant use , for a cold
can be cured in much less time
when promptly treated. For sale
by Kerr's Drug Store.

He knew , his London well , declares -
elul'es the National Mag zinc. We
went forth in a fog that was of a
pea . soup variety. It seemed use
less to wait any longer for it to
clear off. The days were all alike
and were darker than twilight
ever dared to be. I clung to Mul-
ford's coatsleeve , for I knew if he
were once to get beyond my reach
I could never hope to find him
again. We groped blindly among
the streets , where the atmosphere
was only less palpable than the
houses that walled us in. At intervals -
tervals we inquired where we
were , for otherwise we could never
have known at all. We had to feel
our way carefully and take soundings .
in1r8 at intervals. "Here , " said
_ . _ . _ . . . - .r.-r. - -
-
Prentice , as wEf paused in space , '
"hcre is Temple Bar ! " I thought
I saw something that might have
been the 'ghost of Jln arch hewn
out' for the solid fog. The top of it ,
though it was not lofty , was lost
to view. Temple Bar , now gone
forever from the place where its
gates once swung in the wall of
the old city. It was here her gra-
cious majesty Victoria of Eng- -
lund was wont to receive the keys
ot the city from the hands of the >
lord mayors when she drove in
state 'to ' St. Paul's cathedral. We
threaded Fleet street , but could
not see the farther shore.
"Here is hI' majesty's tower , "
said Prentice , but nothing of it
was visible , not one stone upon
another. We crossed London
bridge almost without knowing
it ; the waters of the Thames ,
which were but condensed fog ,
were invisible from the parapet ,
and the steam ferries were pick-
ing their way cautiously ; and
looking very like marine monsters
in a muddy aqua'rium. We
crawled through the tunnel for
foot traffic under the Thames ,
which was like a hole in the fog ,
and for hours carried the 'sk '
about on our shoulders ; it was a
woolly , greasy 'and ill.smelling
sky : 011'1' nostrils were 'clogged
with cinders , like chimney flues ;
and there were smudges all ' over
our faces' Sometimes for a moment -
ment or two we saw a spot overhead -
head that was like a pale red wa- I
fe'r and we knew it for the Bun , now
lost to' tis. The lamps that burned
all day were like glow.worms for
dimness ; and 'so we explored tpe
wonders of the town and saw q.s
much of it as a blind man sees , but
no more.

Some Poultry and Eggs.
The imports of poultry and . l
eggs into Great Britain in 1902 , '
1903 and 1904 were valued at $31 , '
OOQOOO , 33,000,000 and $33,500 , .
000 , respectively , the small increase .
crease in 1904 being attributed
mainly to the enhanced home pro.
duction , though partly due perhaps .
haps to the hard times. As usual
Russia was the largest contributor -
tor of eggs-35 per cent. of the entire .
tire import-and Denmark , with f
18 per cent. , was next. The United f.
States does not appear l eparately ; . i
In the poultryi list , however , the
. United States stands fourth. ' .

Collecting Konuments.
I
Collecting monuments is the
queerest hobby we have yet heard u
of. It is the specialty of a Penn
sylvania millionaire Quaker. For
40 years he has spent time and "
7' ,
money hunting for tombstones , ;
pedestals , headpieces , broken col.
umn8 , gravestones , and monu.
ments erected to commemorate I
Biblical events and American his-
tory. He bas them erected in i a I
cemetery lot reserved for the purpose - I
pose , and spends much of his leisure ' 1
ure admiring his collection. i
