no relief until I bought a bottle f Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy, which re 'eved 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

Living for Self Alone. ~
The man who lives to himself he-
queaths his own folly and poverty and
meanness for his monument. He has
benefited nobody, while he has dwarfed
and warped his own powers, and
senseless stone or marble, however lav-
isth supplied to mark his resting
‘place, does him no honor. He has lived
in himself, he has died in himself, and
all that he leaves in memory of himself
speaks no word of praise in his behalf,
no word of justification; This is no
true life. It is the worst of failures.
There are glorious opportunities in
this world for service. He who wisely
uses them enriches both his race and
himself, and dying leaves a monument
which outlasts granite and is brighter

ANATOMY OF THE OYSTER.
It Has All the Organs Possessed by Other
Animals of Greater Pretensions.
Every oyster has a mouth, a heart, a.
liver, a stomach and other necessary
internal organs, including a set of cun-
ningly devised intestines. The mouth
' is at the small end of the oyster’s body,
near the hinge of the shell. It is oval
in shape, says the St. Louis Republic,
and, though not readily discovered by
an unpracticed eye, may be easily lo-
cated by gently pushing a blunt bod-
kin or similar instrument along the
folds of the surface of the body at the
place mentioned. Connected with the
mouth is the canal which the oyster
uses in conveying food to the stomach,
from whence it passes into the curious
little set of netted and twisted intes-
tines referred to in the opening. To
discover the heart of an oyster the
folds of flesh which oystermen call
‘the “mantle” must be removed. This
is fatal to the oyster, of course, but in
the interest of science and for the ben-
efit of the “curious” it is occasionally-
done. When the “mantle” has been
removed the heart, shaped like a cres~
cent or horned moou, is laid to the
view. The oyster’s heart is made up of
two parts, just like that of a human be-
ing, one of which receives the blood
from the gills and the other drives it
through the' arteries. The liver is
found in the immediate vieinitv of the
heart and stomach, and is a, queer-
shaped little organ, which is supposed
1titlitperform all the functions of a blood
er.

Tolstoi Denounces with Vigor a Plan for
Only Partial Reform. .
Count Tolstoi, in a. characteristic let-
ter to the Bourse Gazette, gives-his
views on a question which is causing
considerable agitation of mind at pres-
ent in many circles of Russian official
and private life—namely, that of the
abolition, in Whole or in part, of the
punishment of flogging in its various
forms. ‘
The provincial zemstvos of a large
number of provinces, as well as several
highly placed officials in Asiatic Rus-
sia, have formally decided to petition
for the exemption from this degrading
penalty of all peasants who have
learned to read and write. Count Tolo
sioi, with the ardor natural to the
artistic temperament, cries “Shame!”
upon their niggard asking, and, in an
article headed with that word, very
broadly hints that, while the peasant,
for the last three-quarters of a. cen-
tury, has been steadily advancing, his
masters have in some respects failed to
keep their place in the van of the march
toward civilization. ' ' '
Count Tolstoi is a foremost authority
on the life of the peasant, and the spec-
imens he gives in this article of the
abuse of the power of flogging by the
small fry of officialdom are certainly
striking. These insignificant members
of the lower governing ranks have no
uniform, but, when engaged on official
duties, wear some kind of outward and
visible sign of authority, generally a.
large medal. For “speaking his min ”
to one of these village “elders” who
happened to have the sign of office on
at the time, a. fellow villager was duly
flogged, although his only fault ap-
pears to have been that be overlooked
the mledal which converted an ordinary
neighborly difference of opinion into
an insult to the czar! The poor fellow,
’l‘olstoi relates, consoled himseif with
the remark that. “Christ suffered
stripes, and bade us suffer, too.”
There are, however, many in Russia
who think that the moujik is still suf-
ficiently brutal to make the entire
abolition of flogging a. measure of mis-
taken humanity, and Tolstoi’s cry of
“Shame” upon the moderate reform
proposed by certain zemstvos will,
doubtless, be met by the not unnatural
reply. that Tolstoi is before all a lit-
erary artist, with all the artist’s native
scorn for practical measures which fall
short of the ideal aimed at. The par-
tial exemption from flogging which
practical men desire would certainly
prove a very powerful stimulus toward
popular education, even as compulsory
service in the army keeps the Russian
universitimc filled to overflowing with
men who, in a. large number of cases.
would do the state better service in
other ways than by learning discontent
in a. sphere unfitted to their natural
capacities or station in life—London

No. 7704—PRICE. 10 CENTS.
A simple little gown with a baby
waist, buttoned in the back, is shown
here. The simplicity of the design, in
combination with its picturesqueness,
recommends it. The collar may be
made detachable which is a feature al-
ways appreciated, as two collars may be
used, making variety, and if one is
washable the usefulness of the gown is
doubled.
Abrown and white wool dress had
one collar of brown satin, with a band
of heavy creamy lace laid an inch from
the edge. The other collar was of sheer
white lawn, trimmed with valenciennes
lace.
A brown and light blue mixture in
wool had a collar of plain brown cloth
legibly to insure delivery.
