During the Winter of 1893, F. M. Martin;
of Long Beach, West Va., contracted a
severe cold which left him with a cough. In
speaking how he cured it he says: “I
used several kinds of cough syrup but found
no relief until I bought a. bottle of Cham—
berlain’s Cough Remedy, which relieved me
almost instantly, and in a short time brought
about a complete cure.” When troubled with
a cough or cold use this remedy and you
will not find it necessary to try several kinds
before you get relief. It has been in the
market for over twenty years and constantly
grown in favor and popularity. For sale at

GENESIS OF A 2‘CRANK."
The Eflect of Large Ideas UpOn Small
Minds. ' '
One of the most interesting of psy-
chological studies, says the Century, is
the effect of a large idea. upon a small
mind. A large idcn. entering a'lurgc
mind balances and dignifics it; its ef-
fect upon a small mind is often com-
pletely upsetting. The man becomes
intellectually top-heavy and unsteady.
When one becomes observant of this
phenomenon he finds much to amuse
and again much to deplore. 3 He is
amused, for instance, to notice the rc~
sult of this overloading throughoutu
long career. Where a. subject is thus
acted upon by a succession of ideas,
each embodying an - important truth
which the man is incapable of carrying,
his receptivity to impression proves to
be his bone.
1' or the first time of a fundamental prin-
ciple makes a monomaniac of him. An-
other sudden realization of still another
fundamental principle'and he is spinv
ning off at a. new tangent.
But thenc are times when this effect
of large ideas updn little minds is most
mischievous and deplorable. Thus is
bred the race of incurable cranks in
philosophy, theology, art and politics.
The word “crank” has been maliciously
misused for purposes of cynical ridi-
cule, but it is too descriptive a. name
to be. set aside. The congenial crank
is always sturtcdon his career of in-
utility by this application of a big idea
to a. small brain. The most tiring
thing about him is his self-compla-
cency, owing to his knowledge of the
fact that better men have been mis-
called by his own accurately descriptive
cognomen. > 3
APPLICATION OF A FABLE.
A Sheep‘s Skin Hides the Form of 3. Eu-
man ‘7011.
The story Of the ass who clothed him-
self in a. lion’s skin in order to pass
himself off as the king of beasts is well
known, but the tale of the thief who
got inside a. sheep's skin to be better
able to carry on his nefarious trade
has yet to be told, says the London
Telegraph. Early one morning two
policemen, who were on duty at the
slaughter houses of Paris, were aston-
ished to see a. sheep cndeavoring to
effect. an entrance into the inclosure
where creatures of its kind were dou-
bled when a man’s hand protruded from
beneath the stolen fleece. Their curi-
osity became intensified and they care-
fully followed the sham animal, who
stopped at the pen which inclosed the
real article, and with great coolness
chose the two largest and fattest. of the
flock.
Still observed by the watchful guard-
ians of the law, this plagiarist of an
ancient fable proceeded to kill and ‘cut
up his capture, and was on the point
of making Off with his boot-y when he
law and was quickly marched ofi‘ to
the police station, where he gave his
name as Eugene .Lassot. From. his ac-
count. he made a. good living out of his
occupation by selling the meat to vari-
ous butchers. For some time, at least,
it. is to be hoped, that the animals at.
the. nbattoirs will cease. to be sent to
an earlier death by the depred'aiions of
this latest. wolf in sheep’s clothing.
THE LETTER “T. ”
A French Graphologist Says, That It In-
dicates the Writer‘s Character.
A French graphologist has discovered
that character can be read from the
letter “t” alone. He claims that. the
vertical line represents the fatality of
life, and the horizontal bar the influ—
ence human will exercises upon this
fatality.
In addition, he claims that the higher
part of the vertical line—that. project-
ing above the horizontal bar—has indi-
cations of the amount of ideality con-
tained in the make-up of the writer, and
that the inferior part of this line corre-
sponds to the practical and material
part. of the man’s character. ' _
For instance, the Optimist crosses his
t’s with a. line that slopes upward from
the earth to the sky, as it were. The
poet Often crosses his t’s quite above
the vertical line; in other wOrds, in the
sky. ‘
,The pessimist crosses his t’s with a
downward sloping stroke. The line,
which commences at the idealiport-ion
of the letter, descends little by little un-
til it is lost among the sad realities of
earthly existence.
The practical man, it appears, always
steers a. middle course; and crosses his
t's neither in the ideal nor in the ma-
terial, but exactly midway between the
two.
Snowballs Rolled by the Wind.
Passengers on the Flint River divi-
sion of the Flint & Pere Marquette rail-
road who came to Flint, Mich., recently
reported observing a. strange phenom-
enon in large, level fields not far from
the city, says he Chicago Tribune.
Hundreds of snowballs, some of them
of colossal size, have been rolled to-
gether, it is thought, by the action of
the wind. The fields were covered with
them, and nature accomplished in one
night what it would take a. large force
of boys several days to do.
He Never Drank.
Old Mr. B——, who lived in Bangor
several years ago, was called “very
would accept intoxicating liquor of any
kind. One day he was. asked to drink
by several of the neighbors at the vil-
lage store, where drinks were. sold at
ten cents each. “No, I thank ye,” he
gentlemen.
But if it’s all the ssame to! you I’ll take
a. gimlet instead.” _ 5
A Dog with Artificial Teeth.
It is said that a dog in Mulliken, Mich.,
possesses and uses daily :1. full set of
dl'tificial teeth. The dog is very old, and
is a. family pet. “Then it lost its teeth
recently its owner, according to the
said to be a perfect working success.

‘OFFICE-SEEKING HORDE.
It Makes the Position or President One
. of Many Trials.
'At the beginning of every adminis-
tration Washington fills up ”with per-
sons who desire some office either in
the states, in the'departments or in
the foreign service, writes 'ex-Presi-
dent Harrison in Ladies’ Home Jour-
nal, discussing “The Presidential ’Of-
fice.” Many of these persons have a
limited purse, and as the days pass on
this is exhausted and impatience and .
ill-temper come in. Many of these per-
sons are deserving and well-fitted to
fill the offices they desire. But it is
impossible to find places for all the
deserving, and the position of the pres-
ident is full of t _ . The suspense and
uncertainty thatv'themfiice seeker suf-
fers is illustrated by ,the‘case of a. man
from my own state who thought he had
good reason to expect an appointment
from President Garfield. After he had
been weeks at Washington, and had
brought to bear all the influence he
could command. I met him one day on
the street and asked him how he was
getting along. His answer was: “Very
well, very well, but there is nothing
focal yet.” It. was wonderfully expres-
sive, and has remained in my memory
as a. type of the state of uncertainty
which: ' accompanies office-seeking.
“Not-hing focal yet,” but a. hope that is
hard to kill.
There are few offices at Washington
the salaries of which enable the incum-
bent to save any money, and the aver-
age experience of those holding places
, in the departments, I am sure, is, if
they would express it, that private
business offers better returns and gives
better chance for advancement.
AN ALL-NIGHT SCARE.
A Young Englishman’s Experience with a.
Stufl'ed Bear.
Young Englishmen visiting the Unit-
ed States have as many absurd and
amusing experiences as Americans
have when in foreign countries. The
Washington Star tells of an English
traveler who had been assured that
west of the Missouri river the entire
country was infested with bears, some
of which were so bold that they came
into the towns.
He stopped in a Kansas village, and
in the evening started out for a walk.
The .stores were closed, but the moon
was. shining brightly. He rambled
about .the place for a couple of hours, ,
and started down the business street-
for the hotel. Suddenly he saw before
him on the sidewalk a, big bear, sitting
on itshaunches, with open mouth and
paws extended.
In a moment. he was on top of a porch,
crying for help, but no one heard him.
and the bear sat and watched him. All
night long he stayed there, trembling
for fear bruin would climb the post,
but comforting himself with the idea
that it was too small to be used by a.
bear.
At daybreak some men came along
and one of them wheeled the'bea-r back I
to the doorway with the remark: "‘I
wonder who put that Sign in the middle
of the walk.”
The tourist descended from the porch
without detection, and had he not sub-
sequently enjoyed the story so much
that he told it himself, it would never
" have been known.
HARDY COFFEE PLANTS.
They Live and Are Fruitful Sometimes
‘ for a. Century.
Coffee plants, says the New York Ob-
server, are usually raised from seeds
sownpin beds upon the mountains,
where the thermometer varies from 55
degrees Fahrenheit in winter to 80 de-
grees in the height of summer. When
they are two years old the small shoots
are set out in rows six feet apart each
way. In three years they begin to yield.
They are increasingly fruitful for 15 to
20' years and live for a century. The
trees bloom in February in Guadoloupe,
the fruit ripens from August to Decem-
ber, but bloom and green fruit and the
ripened berry may he sometimes seen at
once during the latter part of the year.
The berry is red, of the. size and colorof
a. cherry; the cofiee is made from the
kernel or seed, which is dividedintb'two
hemispheres. ’_ 7 I; .
This seed goes through‘ a. variety of
processes before it becomes the" Coffee
of commerce and is prepared for use in
the delicious beverage which is known
all over the world. Most of the coffee
of the French islands goes naturally to
France, but it is not so cheap as the
South American product, and its culti-
vation is encouraged by governmental
bounties. The coffee and sugar inter-
ests do not conflict, for the former occu-
pies the highlands and the latter the
lowlands.
Strange Requirements.
The Neue Wiener Tagblatt, of Ger-
many. prints the strange will of a
wealthy and eccentric Old man who late~
ly died. “I give all my property,” he
says; “to my six nephews and six nieces,
but under the sole condition that every
one of my nephews marries a woman
named Antonie, and that every one of
my nieces marries a. man named An-
ton.” The 12 are further required to
give the Christian name Antonie or
Anton to each first-born' child, accord-
ing as it turns out to be boy or girl.
The marriage of each nephew and niece
is also to be celebrated on one of the
St. Anthony‘s days, either January 17,
May 10 or June 13. Each is‘further
required to be married before the end
of July, 1896. Any nephew or niece
remaining unmarried to an Antonie
or an Anton after that date forfeits
half of his or her share of the pr0p~
erty.
Naming the Baby.
A mother recently said to her five-
year-old daughter- “What shall we
name the baby, sister?” “Call her Early,
mamma; that’s . a .prett-y name.”
“Early! hat’s notngirl‘s name.” “Oh,-
yeS, it is. .Don’t you remember you read
to me about the little girl who was to
be May queen, and who wanted her
