The strongest recommendation that
any article can have is the endorsement
of the mothers of the town. When the
mothers recommend it you may know
that that article has more than ordinary
merit. Here is what the Centerville,
South Dakota, Citizen says editorially
of an article sold in their town : "From
personal experience we can eay that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
broken up bad colds for our children.
We are acquainted with many mothers
in Centerville who would not be without
it in the house for a good many times its
cost, and are recommending it every
day." 50 cent bottles for sale by Blake

PROTESTANT NUNS.
Work Tbstt Is Betas; Done by the Bisters
of the Virgin Mary.
The Sisterhood of the Annunciation
of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Protes
tant Episcopal order of nuns, has been
granted letters of incorporation, according-
to the New York World. Their
home is at No. 149 Second avenue the
House of the Holy Comforter. The in
corporators are Rev. Dr. Maunsell Van
Rensselaer, Frances Elizabeth Hunter,
Rebecca Violante Sperling, Elizabeth
Wayne Plume and Josephine Constance
Celestine Lawrence. The order was
formerly called the Sisters of the Visi
tation. "The home is now crowded," said
Mother Francesca the other day. "Fa
voring Providence has enabled us, from
time to time, to increase our usefulness,
and we hope at an early day to have
still another home established. We
want to shelter boys and girls afflicted
with incurable diseases, and are look
ing about for a site for such a home.
Wc have some money set aside for the
purpose, but will need a great deal
more. We are not deterred by the ab
sence of funds, for kind friends always
turn up with donations when we are
sorest pressed. The current expenses
for this Home for Indigent Protestant
Women, afflicted incurably, is about
five hundred dollars per month. At
present we have temporarily aban
doned the training class of young
girls for our hospital service. We make
no charge for admission or support of
our patients, and there is no endow
ment to aid us. Our maintenance de-
HEADDRESS OF A NN.
pends entirely on voluntary contribu
tions. "There is no home for little incurables
now, and those whom we hope at an
early day to shelter are now sent to the
island under those in charge of the
workhouse. We are ambitious in the
matter of relieving distress, in helping
the poor and educating the young. We
hope to have a home in the country,
where in summer our patients can have
the benefit of good air and a change of
environment.
"When we are able to resume our
training school it will receive Protest
ant girls between the ages of nine and
fourteen, we retaining the care of them
until they are eighteen years. They
will get a thorough secular and reli
gious education, together with proper
training in domestic and useful duties."
The home of the sisters is a large,
roomy, old-fashioned residence. It has
a modest sigrn beside the door, but noth
ing else to distinguish it from neighboi
ing houses. The interior is arranged
with gTeat care and thought as to its
uses.
The dress of the nuns, strikingly like
that of the Catholic orders, being black,
with snow-white headdress, is looked
on as a matter of fact now by a, number
of subscribers who have not embraced
high-church tenets. The appointments
of the reception room and the general
apartments are marked by simplicity,
and a ritualist would be pleased at the
frequency of crucifixes and other re
ligious emblems.
THE CRETAN LABYRINTH.
A Recent Discovery Gives a Key to an
Ancient Puzzle.
The existence of a maze or labyrinth
at Gnossus. Crete, is borne out by the
legend of Theseus slaying the Minotaur
in its heart by the help of Ariadne,
who gave him a thread to pay out be
hind him as a clew, in penetrating its
recesses, and also by the fact that old
coins of Crete exhibit the figure of a
labyrinth. Some of the mazes of these
coins are circular, others rectangular,
but, according to the Philadelphia
Record, the internal arrangement is the
same in all, and consists of a round
about path which leaves the traveler no
DIAGRAM OF THE LABYRINTH OF CBETsfc
choice of route or chance of error.
Hence Richard Inwards has surmised
that the device on the coins only shows
the clew or key to the right path, and
leaves out the wrong ones. By taking
the maze as shown on the coins and
treating the circular dividing walls as
double, each containing a passage of the
same width as the road shown on the
coins, he obtains the genuine labyrinth,
as seen in the accompanying figure,
which is difficult to explore to the
center even when seen at a glance on
paper. The coin device is 6imply each
alternate circle of this one. To give
the key in brief avoid every alternate
circle or path. Such a labyrinth helps
us to understand how useful the col
ored thread of Ariadne might be to
Theseus, because on returning to any
place he had passed he would find his
own thread and be able to make a bet
ter start next time. , '

Tobacco and Cold on m, Par on the Upper
. Tnkon River, Alaska.
K. D. Miles, a recent visitor in San
Francisco, gives the Call a graphic ac
count of the prices current for ordinary
commodities on the upper Yukon river,
Alaska.
He has, according to the Call, just re
turned from that country, where, he
states, there were over one hundred
men at work during the last summer
washing gold from the river bars and
rifts. The majority of them will winter
in that country.
"Well, I'll tell you, I am glad to get
back ' to civilization again," he said.
"Gold is plentiful; in fact it is an ordi
nary trick for a man to wash out from
twenty to sixty dollars a day, but a
man needs all that to live anyway com
fortable in that country, and he has but
little to show - after a season of hard
work.
"When I left that country a trader
with a small stock of goods was making
his way up the river from some of the
coast trading points in a canoe. In
fact he had several of them loaded with
provisions. He was assisted in his jour
ney by half, a dozen Indians.
"Well, when he left, after selling out
his cargoes, he had about all the gold
dust the miners had washed out in four
or five months of steady work.
"We ran short of provisions, and had
subsisted on bear meat and other game
so long that we willingly parted with
nearly all we had to get some civilized
eatables. . .
"Well, this trader his name was Em
mons sold the several sacks cf spuds
he had with him at the rate of from
thirty to fifty cents per potato.
"Jiis llour sola lor twenty dollars a
sack, and we were just glad enough to
pay five dollars a pound for the very
poorest quality of tea he had with him.
"He had several sides of bacon in his
stock, which he disposed of at about
one dollar a slice. A few sacks of the
despised bean brought one dollar a
pound. '
"We had been out of tobacco for near
ly two months, and had drawn but lit
tle solace out of pipefuls of dried leaves
and moss. When this fellow appeared
on the scene we took him to our hearts
as a benefactor and gave him ounces of
gold for plugs of tobacco. An ounce of
gold brings sixteen dollars in Alaska
and nineteen dollars at the mint here.
" We bought a hundredweight of on
ions, lor wnicn we were assessed six
ounces of gold.
"I tell you what, we poured out the
dust upon that fellow Emmons, and he
had so much of it I don't think I would
like to take the contract to pack it from
here to the city halL
rou must not tmnk from this ap
palling price list that we were starving
to death. We had plenty of game and
fish, but that kind of grub palls on the
appetite.
The "boys," however, appear to have
made money on the Yukon river bars.
Mr. Miles states that all of them have
i "stakes," and he came down to Victoria
. with several of them who had "cleaned
up" from twelve thousand dollars to
I twenty-eight thousand dollars apiece.
j . . 8,828,67a.
. These figures represent the number of
bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds, which
were sold in the United States from
March, '91 to March, '92. Two million,
two hundred and twenty-eight thousand,
six hundred and seventy-two bottles
sold in one year, and each and every
bojslle was sold on a positive guarantee
that money would be refunded if satis
factory results did not follow its use.
The secret of its success is plain. It
never disappoints and can always be de
pended on as the very best remedy for
coughs, colds, etc. Price 50c. and $1.00.

A Pest of Squirrels.
Squirrels are plentiful and destructive
in some parts of the state of Washing
ton. Linden county paid out forty
thousand dollars in bounties on squir
rel scalps last year, yet but little good
effect was produced. It is proposed to
tax all the lands in the county to raise
funds to fight the pest and so make
railroads and nonresident owners help
"The people of this vicinity insist on
having Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and do not want any other," says John
V- Bishop, of Portland Mills, Indiana.
That is right. They know it to be su
perior to any other for colds, and as a
preventive and cure for croup, and why
should they not insist upon having it.
