Thcro nro ti great imiuy persons
tlirougliout tho country who have

! rjbelieve that it can not be cured. Jt
Matters not how ninny physicians have
told vou vour easy was boneless nor
how inanv difl'orent medicines you
havo tried without nny pernianout
benefit we claim that tho disease enn
bo cured nnd as evidence of it refer
to tho following cases:
Wyandotte Kan. June 15 18S7.
One of my customers had been troub-
led foryeiir.1 with chronic diarrhoea. I
persuaded him to usn abottb of Cham-
berlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy it completely cured him and
ho to day can not say enough in praire
of it. '1 his case cited is only one ol
many that have been cured by it hero.
I can further say that I recommend it
nil tho time as I know it is as represen-
ted and will do the work. 1 havo been
selling it for several years and have
never heard of its failing in a singlo
case in fact every one who uses it
epeuks in the highest praise of its work.
Dit. S. F. Matiiek Druggist.
I havo cured a most persistant and
nggravntingeu.se 0f chronic diarrhoea
Willi four or tivo bottles of Chamber-
lain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy after tho party had used nil
other preparations in vain. I consider
it the best made. W. A. McUoniule

I am just recovering from a long
spell of sickness nnd was given up to
die by everyone who saw mo. I had
been suffering from chronic diarrhoea
nnd had doctored with nearly all the
1)hysicians in Clark and Union counties.
: laid in bed for threo months and sov-
en davs and could not move until 1
tried Chamberlain's Colio Cholera nnd
Diurrhoea Remedy. It has cured me
and I now am in my store attending to
my business. I now still Chamberlain's
Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
to my customers and tell them it is the
greatest medicine ever made. All of
the peoplo in America could not now
break my faith in your medicine. I
would risk my life on it doingfor others
what it has done for mo. J. C. Stout

THE MARSEILLAISE..
rvn ntiiMron of vour country uome.
j Kuw ulory duwus upon tho world;
Our tyrants running to inoir aooin
Their bloody standard havo unfurled;
Already on our plains we hear
Tho murmurs of ft savage horde;
They threaten with tha murderous sword
Vour comrades aud your children donr.
Cuonns;
Thon up and form your ranks the hireling
foo with stand;
March on his craven blood niil6t fertilize
the bind.
These banded serfs what would they have
Hy tyraut kings together brought?
Whom are those fetters to enslave
Which long ago their bands have wrought?
You Frenchmen yoa thoy would onchaiu:
Doth not the thought vour bosoms fire?
The nnciout bondage they desire
To forco upon your nocks again.
OHOHUS repoat.
Thoso marshaled foreigners shall they
Make laws to reach the Frenchman's
hearth?
Shall hiroliuii troops who fight forpny
Strike down our warriors to the earth?
Ood! shall we bow beneath tho weight
Of hands that slnvish fetters wear?
Shall ruthless despots once mora dare
To be the masters of our fate?
cnoaus repoat.
Then tremble tyrants traitors all
Ye whom both foos and friends despise;
On you shall retribution fall
Your crimos shall gam a worthy prize.
Eauh man opposes might to might;
And whon our youthful heroes die
Our France can well thoir place supply;
We're soldiers all with you to light.
oaonus repe tt.
Yet generous warriors still forbear
To deal ou all your vengeful blows;
The train of hapless victims spare
Against their will they are our foes.
Rut oh! those despots stain-d with blood.
Those traitors IfHgntfl with b.v.e Rouillo
Who ni'iUo their native land their prey;
Death to the savage tigei brood!
Cnoaus ropc.it.
And whon our glorious sires tire (b ad.
Their virtues wo shall purely find
When on tho self-same path wo tread
And track tho fume they leave behind.
Less (o survive them we dosiro
Than to partake their noble grave;
The proud ambition we shall have
To live for vengeance or expire
Cuoitus repeat.
Come lovo of country guide us now
Endow our vengeful nrnis with might
And dearest Liberty do thou
Aid thy defenders iu the light.
Unto our hags let victory
Culled by thy stirring accents haste;
And may thy dying foes at last
Thy triumph and our glory see.
cuoitus repeat.

Ye ecus cf Fnedoin wuko to glory;

Heboid their lean and heur their cries!
Behold their tenrs and hear their cries!

With hireling hosts a ruffian baud
Affright and desoluto tbo land.
While 1'eace and Liberty lie bleeding?
chorus.
To arms! to arms! ye brave!
The avenging sword uusheath!
March on! march on! all hearts resolved
On victory or death!
Now now tho dangerous storm is rolling .
Whioh treacherous kings confederate
raise
The dogs of war let loose ore howling
And lo onr walls aud cities blitz!
Aud lo. our walls nnd cities blaze
Aud shall we basely view the ruin
While lawless power with guilty stride.
Sends desolation far and wide
With crime and bloou bis bands imbruing?
I chorus repeat.
j With luxury and pride surrounded
i The vile insatiate ib'spots d.tre
1 Thoir lust of power and gold unbounded
I To meto nnd vend the light and ail!
I To mete aud vend the light and air!
j Like beasts of burden would they load ns
Like gods would bid their slave adoru;
I Hut man i man and who is more?
Then shall they louder lash aud goad us?
CKont.'B repeat.
O Liberty! can man resigu th"0

Can duneons bolts or bnn.coiifiiie tine?

Tho straw hat of civilization Is nearly a
contnry old nnd its manufacture was not
begun lu Brooklyn to any oxtent until
about eloveu years ago. Tho raw tuato-
rial Is nil Imported and. In fact reaches
the manufacturer hc.-o In n considerably
advanced stage of preparation. It comes
from China Jnpan and southern Europe
chiefly. Years ago when straw goods
brought higher prices braids woven with
Tuscan straw and that from' Bohemia and
Switzerland were exclusively used but
thoy oro now employod only lor tho finest
grades. The cheaper qualities for the
masses such as the "Maekiuaws" nro al-
most entirely made with tho straw braid
imported from China. This was found to
bo less expensive than any other borauso
the coat of living among tho producers
amounts to almost nothing.
Tiin rni? hat.
Tho Leghorn lint la mndo entirely In
Italy and only the finishing Is douo In
tills country. Chip and Panama huts nl
though Hold under tho general denomina-
tion of straws are made In fact from en-
tlroly diiTereut material. Tho chip Is so
called because made from tho splints of
tho Loinbardy poplar out of which the
sap has been dried by burial in the ground
for threo years a precaution taken to
proven t it from turning rod which hap-
pens when dried in t he air. Tho Panama
is made from tho immature leaves of a
palm trco Indigenous to South America.
Tho district of China where straw braid
is made lies In tho region of Canton and
many millions of people aro employed In
its product Ion. Living principally on
fruits which tho soil of that country
naturally yields nnd with no Inclination
to do more proli table work It is often tho
only occupation that nil tho members of
tho family engage in. Tlio average wages
earned nro a penny a dny. When tho
species of grass or wheat used formukiutr
the straw has attained its full height and
before it is quite ripe It is cut dowu left
on tho ground nnd allowed to blcHch in
tho sun This process being completed
the stalks are bound In sheaves about a
foot in circuuiferenco and thon drawn out
ns wanted. After severing them at tho
joints into strips four or (ivo Inches in
length they aro put Into a kind of a sieve
nnd sorted iu equal sizes. Those at the
top being finer have a greater valuo than
tho lower or coarser ones. These pieces
r.ro in turn separated aud tied into bun-
dles of convenient sizo. Thoso of good
color nro laid aside for bleaching whllo
'.hoso spotted or discolored nro dyed nnd
jsed with tho bleached to mako variega-
ted br:iids. The solid colors nre all dyod
n America to suit tho lending fashion.
The bleaching Is dono by inclosing the
utalks in a box with burning brimstone.
Tho plaiting noxt in order is dono mostly
by women und girls whllo the straw Is In
a damp stato and after tho braids nro
pressed flat they nro put iu roils of tty
yards packed in bales and ready fot ex-
portation. Encouraged by their govern-
ment the Japanese with their character-
folio energy huvo recently begun this
industry.

When tho rolls reach tho manufacturer
in this country tho braids are slightly
moistened and tiicn sown together begin-
ning at tho crown and working round
until tho wholo Is finished. On the top
Hoorof thostrnwworksaro tho sulphur
rooms where some of tho hat a are bleached.
It 13 found that nature or scienco has pro
vldod nothing no powerful in this regard
as the sun and all the sulphur baths and
other processes of bleaching aro not com
parablo with a sun bath. Indies often
feel disappointed because their straw hats
turn yellow but this Is the natural result
of sulphur bleached goods. Such a thing
never happens ofterHiin bleaching When
practicable and tho weather permits tills

VIEWING THE RED PLANET.

Peoplo who can obtain tho privilege of
looking at Mars through the Lick tele-
scope should not neglect tha opportunity
Several years have elapsed aluce this ra-
morkublo planet could bo aeon to such ad
vantage as at present and It will be three
years before we havo an equal ehanoe
again. It has certulnly never been exam
tiled before through a telosoopo of such
power as tho monster refractor ou Mount
Llaiiillton.
It may bo Interesting to lovers of as
tronomy to know that the eminent French
astronomer M. Perrotin. Is engaged In a
minute study of Mars nnd that his dis-
coveries confirm those of M Schlaparilli
In every particular. It seems actually
true that the longitudinal stripes which
rlrclo round the planet aro liodioaof water
which must according to .ull laws of
probability bo artificial. No ono ever
saw or conceived a system of parallel
rivers from 1.000 to 2000 miles long and
straight as plumb lines Everything Is
possiblo of course but such straight
rivers It Is wmosslble to reroncllo with
tho principles of cosmogony as wo under
stand them. On this planet at all events
nature abhors a straight lino and by
analogy it should do so in Mars
Vet. If these bodies of water aro canals
as Schlaparilli lielievedaud Perrotin seems
hardly to doubt what monstrous works
they must be They aro from fifty to
olghty miles wldo Fancy tho lulior of
digging such a canal the lime It must
have taken and tho number of workmen
it must havo employed Tho pyramids of
Egypt nro trilling In comparison. Tho
Suez canal is 107 loot wide at tlio surface
and tho Nicaragua somewhat wider Our
canals on tliis one horse giolie nro con
sidered long whon they roach 100 miles in
length. The Panama canal will be loss
than sixty miles long Tho canals of
Mara reach a length of 8000 mllos say as
far us from hero to Omaha. What a traffic
thero must bo to support such enterprises!
On tho waterways or China travelers do
scribe tho Incessnnt ebb and flow of
multitudinous crowds hut to rcqulro
canals of such dimensions as wo have de-
scribed tho movement of traffic In Mars
must bo far more prodigious. In fact
they Imply a population which almost
staggers belief; considering that tho
voluuio of tho planet Is only ouo-sixth
that of the earth the diameter being
4.100 miles as against 8000 miles thoy
warrant tho wildest conjectures as to the
density with which It tuav bo peopled.
What manner of man lives In Mars If
thcro be men thero has t.'iways. been a
favorablo topic of speculation Tlio law
of gravitation tells ns that ho may bo
fourteen feet high not such a son of
Anuk as tho inhabitant of the asteroids
but still ono who would regard the Belgian
giant as a remarkable dwarf. Possibly
tlio enormous public works ou Mars msy
bo explained on tho theory that thoso tall
follows can work In proportion to thoir
stature that ono citizen of Mars can
shovel ns much dirt as two and a half don
Izens of this world.
Whothor tho grass of Mars Is rod as
tho old astronomers avorrod. modern tclo
scopes have failed to docido. It Is very
difficult to detormlno colors when an ob
iect Ions collects 1JO.000 times us much
light ns normally enters tho human-ryo
Uut tlio speculative astronomer Is safe lu
asserting his belief t hat Martian cabbages
aro of the color of our beet roots as no
one can disprove tho assertion. San

IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
A TRAVELER'S TROUBLES IN THE
CULINARY DEPARTMENT.
Tlia Cook and Oar MOlfla Ilaabea With-
out Number at tha flotcla "San Juana"
Innumerable A Goattuaala Kitchen.
Co ITea and Cliocolata.
It Is said that he who comes to Control
America and relishes tho "tortilla" will
remain In tho country and ho who does
not will leave. From my own rxporionce
with tho corn cuko I havo concluded that
tho emigrants who settled must bava
beou very hungry. The Central Ameri-
can cook is usually an Indian woman wha
ran boll eggs and cook rice. Sho has
heard of such thlnga as sauces aud If
she has her own way (and sho generally
has) sho never lots any meat go to tha
table unless swimming In a lardy gravy.
All the meat left from tody which she
does not give to her own family she cuts
Into meat halls for to-morrow. At first
ono can stand them onco a week but I
would Uko to wager wit h any professional
quail eater that he couldn't "meat ball It"
once a day for twenty . days. Cinnamon
Is used to season or iiavr nearly every
dish and tho natives like It. Next to
whisky I think they Uko cinnamon.
Whon you wIbIi to engage a cook there
Is always ono who Is ready to como If you
will advance her $13 or (20. This Is
called an "hnhllitaclon" it might just as
well bo called a gift Sho describes her-
self as an accomplished "artiste 'Land
according to her own statement there
Is nothing that she can't cook until she
tries. Site brings you an excellent rcfor-
enco from Senora tlona So aud So who la
probably anxious to get rid of her. She
surprises yon tho first morning with cof-
fee mndo with lukewarm water and eggs
as hard as rocks but with a pluto of
smoking "tortillas" which she lilies Iter-
solf. Tho dinner is poorer and having
by that tlmo got a fair start on ment she
commences ou meat balls. Many times a
dny you think you will change cooks but
tho thought of that twenty dollar "habll-
Itacloa" restrains you. As tlmo rolls on
you 800 but two courses open to you
either to sink Into a dyspeptic's gravo or
lot her go with tho money and any sane
man would lot her go. It Is a lottery In
which yon pay for tho chanco of drawing
a cook. Tho prizes are even fewer thau
in ordinnry lottories; so avoid tho specu-
lation and have a little less worry at a
hotel. Tho proprietor then shoulders tho
troublo and lie Is a fortunate man if It
bo tho oxcellonco of his tnblo that assures
him guests for too often tho guest's
choice is one botwoon evils.
This of courso doos not apply to the
hotels of tho largest cities such ns Gua-
temala which nro excellent but It does
refer to somo which nre not specified as
I may want to return to them somo day.
A roast Is never soon except In somo of
tho nowor and larger hotels. Thero are
fries and stows and hashes without num-
ber. Tlio "olla podrlda" Is a dish mndo
of everything eotablo that might other-
wise spoil. A Spanish dictionary says it
Is "a dish composed of difTeront sorts of
meats and vegotablos boiled together"
hut I stick to my . definition. Meat fish
sausage pruucs. ralsins onions cabbage
and every other vegotablo that may bo on
hand is put into tlio pot to hoil and tho
rosult Is not so bad ' as whon the cook's
attention Is centered on ono particular
'article nnd in tho "podrlda" tho different
constituents may bo said to "get off easy"
with ouly n share of her attention.
What would a New England house-
keeper say If sho saw ono of these
kitchcusl A rulsed trench holds a char-
coal firo nnd on this stand the pots and
kettlus. Tho light entors only at ono
door; thore is no outlet for smoke and
the accumulation of years has formod
layers of soot on tlio rafters and walls
nnd I cannot find it In my heart to blnmo
the poor cooks If flies do form a constitu-
ent of ovcry dish.
When the traveler is directed to go to
tho town of Sim Juan he cannot always
bo suro that he will reach tho right one.
In a radius of fifty miles one may flud
threo or four San Juans ond so numerous
aro thoy that these towns are given sur-
names bucIWs San Juan do los Lrprosos
San Juan oSfuncalco San J nan do Sacnto-
