W. A. McGuire, a well known citizen
of McKay, Ohio, is of the opinion that
-there is nothing ' as good as children
troubled with colds or croup ' as
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy'. He has
used it in his family for several years
with the best results and always kept a
bottle of it in the house. After having
Ja grippe he was himself troubled with
a severe cough. He used other remedies
"without benefit and then concluded to
try the children's medicine and to his
delight it soon effected a permanent cure.

A Train in Now Vork llrnuelit to m Stand
' '.'"' ' still by the Insects. '
4iThe story is an old one about west
ern railroad trains being- stopped by
grasshoppers during- a memorable in
vasion of Kansan and other states by.
these insects," said a NeV York travel
ing1 man to a Xew York Sun reporter;
"and it was and is still looked upon in
the east as a wild reach, of the western
imagination. I believe no one had
deeper doubt of it than myself. But I
doubt no longer, for I was on a train the
other day right in our state of New
York which was stopped by grasshop
pers as effectually as the engiimer with
his airbrakes could have stopped it.
"The railroadwas the Chautauqua
Lake railroad and the train was. on its
way between Mayvilleand Jamestown.
All that region has had a most de
structive visitation of grasshoppers this
year, crops, -foliage and even hay, cut
and housed, having been absolutely
eaten up clean by the ravenous insects.
This day the passengers on the train
.noticed that frequently it would grad
ually slow up and come almost to. a
standstill, but after awhile regain
somewhat of its regular speed. At
last, though, after slowing'up and the
engine working in a way that showed
that the engineer was making his
greatest effort to overcome whatever
the obstacle was to the progress of the
train, it came to a dead standstill. A
trainman was hurrying through- the
car I was in and I asked him what was
the matter.
" 'Grasshoppers,' said he. 'We're
stalled again by grasshoppers.'
"Nobody believed him, of course, but
I got out of the car and it wasn't long
before I found that he. was . in earnest.
Grasshoppers had effectually stopped
the train. The rails behind lis as far
as anyone could see were two glisten
ing lines of grease. As far as anyone
could see ahead the railroad tracks
were hidden by untold numbers of
grasshoppers. Men had to be sent
ahead to sweep or shovel or scrape the
insects off the rails... Jiy dint of much
sand . and steam the train was at last
got under way, but for nearly two
miles the advance guard of trainmen
had to keep the train clear of grass
hoppers immediately ahead of the
locomotive wheels before we had
passed out of the tremendous swarm
of insects, fat to bursting on the crops
of the Chautauqua region, and. the
train could go its way without danger of
further stalling. I learned that the
trains on that road had been unable to
make anything' like schedule time for
several days and that no trip had been
made on any train in that time on
which it had not been stopped more
than once by the crushing of grass
hoppers on the rails."'
WORDS AND MEANINGS CHANGE
"Afflicted Kelict" Is Hardly Good English
Nowadays. .
It is interesting to notice the change
in the meaning and use of words that
time brings. Just fifty years ago the
"National Portrait Gallery of Distin
guished Americans"' was published jn
1 his city, says the' Boston Globe.
In the account of Mrs. Washington
we read that "when ladies called at the
president's mansion the habit was for
the secretaries qnd gentlemen of the
president's household to hand them to
and from their carriages," but when the
honored relicts of Greene and Mont
gomery came to the presidoliad, the
president himself performed the com
pliment himself." . ,
Wc do not call a widow "the afflicted
relict"' nowadays; at least when we
mean .to be respectful. But Mrs. Wash
ington is spoken of in these terms two
'several times" in the portrait gallery.
Later on we find that Com. Macdon
ough married a member "of a high
ly respectable family;" nowadays we
use that expression only when speak
ng of a criminal's family.
Of Drt Samuel Latham- Mitchell's
father this gallery remarks that he
lived to see most of his children "repu
tably settled in life;" and it seems to
think it speaks well of him. In this
age we might think that we spoke kind
ly of a man, though not well of him, if
we said that.
, All the children of Col. Thomas Mar
shall, of Virginia, "females as well as
males, possessed superior intellectual
endowments." Henry Clay's father, we
learn, was a respectable clergyman
an avis less rara in those days, we
should have thought, than now; and
even now we would hardly say that a
clergyman was respectable.
UNCLE SAM'S NEW LIBRARY.
It Has Some of the Largest Bookcases 1 n
the World.
No such library as this new one of
Uncle Sam's was ever planned before.
You must imagine, to begin with, two
iron bookcases, each 65 feet high, 112
feet long and 45 feet wide. They tower
up through the building story on story
in nine tiers. ' Each bookcase will hold
800,000 volumes. The metal frame
work is made gridiron fashion to per
mit the free passage ' of the atmos
phere, for books need fresh air as much
as human beings, else they rot. The
floors are sheets of iron, and fire could
do no damage worth mentioning, for
books will not " burn. They will only
smolder under favorable circumstances.
- The library, ' says the Washing
ton Star, has 1,800 windows. Those
which admit light to . the great book
stacks above described are single
sheets of fine plate glass. Looking
from the interior courtyards, the walls
inclosing the book stacks appear to be
almost wholly of glass. ' ' Thus the title
on the back of every volume may be
easily read. The shelves already pro
vided will accommodate 1,500,000 books
twice as many as are now in the li
brary. The building has been so constructed
as to afford space for' other stacks,
which may be put up at any time, and
will hold 2,700,000 volumes more. A
million of books in addition may be ac
commodated in the courtyards; and
there is room for more besides. The
librarian -.of congress a century hence
will not find himself cramped in the
least. ' .
