Whether ’twas Asthma, Bronchitis or

Or baby at night waked the house with a whoop,
With Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Gran’ther was sure
That no cold or cough would e’er fail of a cure.
In hats the styles change, but the records will show ;
Coughs are cured as they were 50 years ago. PALF ATLL
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
has no equal as a remedy for coughs, colds, and lung dis- eases. Where other soothing elixirs palliate, Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral heals. It is not a cheap cough syrup, which soothes but does not strength- en; it is a physician’s cough remedy, and it cures. It is put up in large bottles, only, for household use. It was awarded the medal at the World's Fair of ninety -three. It has a record of
50 Years of Cures.

SEWARD’S BIG BARGAIN.
Fussia Made the Mistake of the Century When She Sold Alaska.
Thirty years ago Commissioner Paulus Hersen persuaded the government of the czar to sell all Russian America for $7, 200,000, or a little less than 2 cents an acre. He had coasted along Kotzebue sound in 1863, and after taking a fare- well peep at St. Michael’s inlet and the mouth of the Yukon did not hesitate to report that the value of that polar dis- trict eonsisted chiefly of its seas and its swamp pines, both of which the Yankee trespassers would be sure to exhaust within the next 20 years. Withina week the folly of the transfer was con- summated. Four-fifths of the territory has neyer yet been surveyed, but the explored portions of the humid coast lands are known to contain larger and more valuable forests than Maine and Michigan taken together.
The fur yield of Alaska has slightly increased on terra firma, but the value of the fisheries has doubled thrice since 1867 and has now reached an average of 45,000,000 cans a year for salmon alone, besides thousands of barrels of herring and about 10,000,000 pounds of cod. Every man, woman and child forming the population of this planet
every month in the year for the next 100 genevations without affecting the extent of the ycarly arriving shoals to any perceptible degice.
Coal in ¢'x vericties, including lig- nii., but also the valuable bitumen known as canncl coal, has béen discoy- ered at balf a hundred cifferent pcints of the great northland and may yct ex- clude ¢--‘ccz impzrte from the Pscific markets as far south as Lus Angeles.
And to all that luck has now added a treasure trove of precious metals, though it would be a mistake to suppose that the discovery of placer mines dates from the west Klondike bonanga.
The Muscovite monarchy, it is true, is so large, so unrcasonably and uncon- scionably overgrown, that the czars couid sell nine other provinces the size of Alaska and still have a comfortable remnant of real estate, but it might be questioned if that special czar did not almost give away the most valuable tenth of his world empire. For the southernmost 500 miles the climate of Alaska is milder than that of European Russia. Sitka thermometers rarely reg- ister 5 degrees below zero; those of Odessa sink to 15—not to mention Mos- cow and St. Petersburg, where old set- tlers do not begin to grow] till the frost consolidates their beards and their bed- posts. The truth seems to be that Major Hersen did really not suspect the extent of the Alaska forests and judged the value of the mines from his experience in Siberia, where the gold bearing rocks can be worked profitably only with the cheapest kind of convict labor.
Secretary Seward, on the other hand, made a shrewd guess at the real value of the coveted peninsula. There is an immortal story about a sportsman wko had abducted the wife of a ‘*Pike,’’ an unkempt squatter of Pike county, Mo., and, being overtaken by the exasperated ruralist;, tried in vain to excuse his es- capade on a plea of intoxication. ‘‘We have to settle this matter with lead, sir,’’ said the Pike, cocking his revolv- er. ‘‘Can’t we settle it with silver?’
asked the kidnaper, exhibiting a good |
sized pocketbook. ‘‘Jast name your own terms, sir,’’ he added when he noticed that the avenger had reduced his men- ace toa half cock. ‘‘ Well, stranger,’’ exid the Pike in a voice still husky with -citement, ‘Show would 75 cents strike yar’?

Acute Rheumatism
Pains in the Foot and Limb-A Complete Cure Accomplished by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
“For a number of ycarsI was afflicted with acute rheumatism in my left side and all the way down my limb into my foot. I live five blocks from my work and had to stop and rest several times in going and coming. I could get no relief from my trouble and was on the point of giv- ing up my job when I happened to hear of flood’s Sarsaparilla. I purchased a bottle of this medicine and a vial of Hood's Pills and began taking them. Before I had half finished them I was relieved and it was not long before I was completely cured. I never lose an opportunity to praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla, for my cure meant a great deal to me, as I havea fam- ily and must always be at my post.” WILLIAM HASKETT, yardman, Grand Trunk Railroad depot, Brantford, Ontario.
