It has been ascer tamed that it is a comnum pra.'ti'e of the clerks of Seta torn and Ilepresentatiyes to sell government publications to book dealers and to fur nisli Congressional franks for mailing them.

The Cost f Interapereaoct - How many people in the U S. ore a nested every year for crime? : ,, '.1 " 'I About one hundred thou sind. . . How much does it cost to arrest, care for, try and pun ish these criminals ? Nearly a hundred million dollars, and at least four- filths of this expense , is due to strong drink. How is this money puid ? By taking the property of the people. What else does drink pro- iuce ? (ireat suffering. The hu mane societies had to be for med largely because 'drunken parents abused ' their chil dren. What causes most of the anperisui in this country ? Strong drink causes more than four fifths of it all, and in this way costs our coun try about sixty million dol- ars every year. Is insanity ever caused by Iririk ? Yes. About three jut of every five insane persons 'be come so because -tley them welyes drink or through the drunkenness of their patents oi through suffering caused by other people's drunken ness. How much does strong Iririk cost us for the support of thefif people ? About twerty-five millions of dollars a ear. What makes people idiots? At least a third of them all are made so by the drinking habits' of their- parents. How much loes strong drink cost' i his country in the rare of such people ? Not far from twenty mill ion dollars a year. How is all this money paid? By taxing the property of the people. Who, then, suffers in this country from sttong drink ? Everybody in it. there is n-)t a person who owns any property who is not taxed to support the drink traffic, ll takes his earnings from ev- ery workingman, and rons the whole nation. Mrs. How ard M. Ingram, The record says that a man pa sse I (it eensbor o;Th u rsd ay vith his w ife and several chil dren in two large covered wagons, who came all th way from Colorado by pri vate conveyance, a distance of 2,300 miles.

To post'thera con cerning the first symptoms, and treatment is the object of this item. The first indi cation ot croup is hoarseness. In a child who is subject to croup it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an attack. - Following this hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If Cha mberla ins cough remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even after the rough cough has appeared it will prevent the qttack; It has never been known to fail. 25 and 50 c. bottles Jor all druggists.

We admire a witty woman who talks well and biightly Hut how often it is that the woman who really attracts oar better selves is she who can preserve the variet.Vj the charm, and the aivsterv of 9 a silence. A woman's timidity is of small things. But when r great pain is to be suffered a keen hardship to be endur ed, she faces it unflinchingly where men weaken ami are afraid. The woman who wil scream at the sight of r mouse will grit her teeth un der the surgeon's knife nn ejaculate a sound, J hare comes a tune m ev ery woman's life w hen a man's estimate of another man can be of inestimable value to her. This time is generally when the woman's heart be comes involved and it then-alas for her I that sh seems less inclined, of all oth er times, to listen to the other man's estimate. A man always knows another man in a different way than a wo man ever can. Ex. When Baby 1ras sick, ire gare her Castorta.
