Just a cough Not worth paying attention to, you say. Perhaps you have had it for weeks. It's annoying because you have a constant desire to cough. It annoys you also because you remember that weak lungs is a family failing. At first it is a slight cougn. At last it is a hemorrhage. At first it is easy to cure. At last, extremely difficult. quickly conquers your little backing cough. There is no doubt about the cure now. Doubt comes from neglect.

"Not a great deal of a man's body need remain after an accident," said a maker of artificial tlmbs, "for'me to build up a perfect man so far as outward appear ances are concerned. Of course the cost would not be small, for these things cost money. How much? Well, that depends. If you had plonty of money and were to bo so badly cut up that everything that can be taken from man and still leave enough to keep the breath of life going, you would get, yourself fitted up in the best manner possible. If your means wero limited, you would be able to get fixed up for a smaller sum. "I'll illustrate. I would begin by fixing you on a pair of legs. You can get these for from $15 to $30 a pair. The high priced ones are really works of art. They have knee joints, ankle joints, rubber buffers and a springy foot. With these you could learn to walk so that nobody would know your legs wero not the ones bestowed on you by nature and could danco and rido besides. If you wauted only a foot, I could let you havo one for from $25 to $60. "Then you would want a pair of anus, with hands and various necessary imple ments. Supposo you had lost both arms abovo the elbows.' The two that I would furnish would cost from $125 to $335. But they would bo working members, with el bow joints, wri6ts and flexible hands. With the bands you could pick up small and light objects and even shako hands with out giving your friend the improssion that he was grasping a block of wood. But you could not do hard work. For that reason you would require a set of instruments which you would screw into the arm aftei you had removed the hand. These are a fork, knife, spoon, ring, hook and vise. If you arc a card player, you would want a card holder, too, and perhaps a billiard cuo rest and a holder for the reins when you went driving. You mjglit want a hammer, saw, clothosbrush and many other things, all of which are prepared for just such as you would bo. Tho whole outfit would amount to about $50. "As to your head, that would have suf fered severely. Your hair would bo all gono, and you would want a wig. I would give you the best tiiat can bo made for $150. All your teeth would bo gone and your palato would bo absent. Tho palate would cost you $15, but for the best teeth I would bo obliged to charge you $50. Of course you would want a nose. Tho making of this member so that it would harmonize with the rest of your face is a delicate task and requires great skill. That would cost about $100, but tho nose would bo as good as the orig inal, almost. A pair of oyes, useless of course, would cost from $40 to $150, ac cording to your choice. A first class tube in your windpipe would cost $30, and two drums for your now ears would bo reason able at $10. That is all I could do for you. How much does thgt amount to? I never had such a customer before and never thought of the lumpsum. Just$l,llG°? Well, that would not bo too much for a man who has lots of money, but no lim bs.'' —Albany Telegram. Let Hlinaelf Oat. Luigi Lablache, tho singer, was a giant in size. "One of his boots," says a biog rapher, 'would make a good portmanteau. Ono of his gloves would clothe an infant." There is a humorous exaggeration in the statement, but the fact remains that he was certainly an enormous man. It is recorded of him that ho was very generous and also a lover of jokes. At one time he was staying in Paris at the 8amo hotel with Tom Thumb. An Eng lish tourist, who had been making strenu ous efforts to meet the latter, one day burst into the great basso's apartment.

"I wonder, child," said Nelson's grand mother, with whom he lived, "that hun ger and fear did not drive you home." "Fear?" replied the youngster. "Inevei saw fear. What is it?" Nelson was still at school when he was summoned to join his 6hip. The parting with his elder brother, William, his play mate and bedfellow, was the first of those privations which every sailor must suffer. But, if the goodby at school was painful, How much more so must have been the farewell with his grandmother? As she beheld him, dressed in the 6mart midship man's uniform, did she realize that the lad before her would, contrary to all ex pectations, take to his profession with en joyment and, within about a year, shake off a fit of depression by saying, "I will be a hero and brave every danger." Did she see in the upright figure the fu ture viscount whose doughty deeds, un paralleled in history, were to call forth blessings from men and women of every class as he set out on his last, fatal voyagt against the French?
