Were I to meet a gracious lord, kindly, intelligent, well educated and of good taste, 1 would unite myself with him for life, and later share with him the pleasure of being laid to rest eternal in a tomb of pink marble."

A steeplejack named Gill, living at Newry (Ireland), swarmed up Sugar Island chimney stack to avoid a war rant (reports the St, James’s Gazette). So rickety is the chimney pot that the police dare not follow him up. They can only effect his arrest between sunrise and sunset on the warrant they hold. He made a successful reconnaissance from his fortress on Sunday, June lolh, capturing a Limerick ham. two loaves, a pound of butter, and a gallon of porter. The police threaten to cut him off from his source of supplies—his xo-year-old son, who has been prohibited from coming near the chimney. Up to June 23rd the steeple jack had been 13 days on the chimney.

Neglect Alw ts Dangekous. —To the average man its seems childish to doctor a cold, and unless it becomes particulerly annoying to him, little or no atten ion is given to it. Often a cold contracted in the winter is allowed to run uniil the opening of spang. This is a grave mistake, as even though the warm weather may bring relief, the system is thereby weakened and rendered susceptib'e to disease. A cold should never be neglected, whether it be a child or an adult who is afflicted, as health and often life is risked. A bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, costing but a sma 1 amount will bring speedy relief and by its use all dangerous consequences will be avoided. For sale by all dealers.
