All the world now look up to Chicago
as the great western metropolis Of
America, being far ahead of all COM

this line, is Electric Bitters. From
their real intrinsic value they have ad-

Good Advice.

If you keep your stomach, liver and
kidneys in perfect working order, you
will prevent and cure by far the greater
part of the ills that afflict mankind in
this or any section. There is no
medicine known that will do this as
quickly or surely as ParkeI's Ginger
Tonic, which will secure perfectly
natural action OF these important organs
without interfering in the least with
your daily duties.-See adv. To-;

that Palmer had taken only wheel.barro

from jenkins the tailor, who stoutly denied
the account altogether; he had only told
Dame Hodson that Palmer had pulled up
several turnips, but how many he could not
tell, for that he did not see himself, but was
told by Tom Slack, the plowman. Wonder.
ing where this would end, farmer Brown next
questioned Tom Slack, who, in his turn, de.
clared he had never said word about seeing
Palmer pull up several turnips he only said
he had heard say that Palmer had pulled up
a turnip, and that Barnes, the barber, was
the person who had told him about it. The
farmer, almost out of patience at this account,
hurried off to Barnes, the barber, who won.

spreading idle tales which had no truth in

purchased number Of the birds. These he
would take up in his hands, stroke and play

HEATING BY FRICTION.

A Boston gentleman has invented simple
device, which, if its present promises are re-
allied, ought to work revolution in methods
OF heating. tits nothingless than an invention
to use friction as a practical means of pro.
ducing heat. At the time of the Ashtabula
horror, when SO many persons we're burned to
death by the wrecked cars catching fire from
the stoves, Mr.. Webster Wells, then profess.
sor of mathematics in the Massachusetts In
stitute Of Technology, began to consider the
problem of heating cars without fire. He
has now solved it. His invention consists of
a strong iron cylinder, at one end of which, in
side, is Fixed plate Of hardened iron, against
which, firmly attached to revolving shaft,
another plate presses, either closely or lightly,
as required The cylinder is filled with
water, and this, heated by the friction of the
two plates, circulates through pipes, warm
ing the room through which they run just as
steam pipes do. The water is kept in con.
stant circulation in these pipes, returning to
the cylinder, to be heated over again. The
water in the cylinder, which is brought to
high degree OF heat in a remarkably short
time, keeps the plates fabricated, preventing
their wearing away at a rapid rate. When
worn away the cost of renewing them is tri
fling, and the machine has no complicated
work about it, so that it is easily kept in re-
pair. The power required to run the ma
chine is so light that the waste or surplus
power Of the engines in use for running ele-
vators and other machinery in hundreds Of
buildings throughout city is enough for all
ordinary purposes. The machine can be util
lied in any place where power is used. The
ordinary sized machine has thirty.six square
inches of friction surface in its plates, sufi.
cient, it is said, to heat 10000 cubic feet Of
space. This requires but half horse power.
A machine with 225 square inches of fric-
ton requires hut four-horse power, and would
heat room 60x100 feet, or containing 1885,
900 cubic feet In railroad cars the machine
is operated by power taken direct from the
wheels, doing away with all danger from fire
in case of smashup. When the cars are
standing still the machine can be operated
by power from the locomotive, by contri.
vance somewhat like that which operates the
Westinghouse brake. In mills it is calculated
that a great saving can be made, both in
fuel and in the rates of insurance. The
agent of mill where water power is used esti-
mates that in twenty years, by the use Of this
device, saving of at least SlS5,000 in fuel
alone could be effected. Professor Wells is
now in Europe, looking out for his patents
there. The machineis in operation in Boston.

A STRANGE CURE-Recently has gone
the rounds of newspapers an improbable sto-
ry of the cure of nervous, painful affection
of rheumatic nature, by an old tramp, who
accomplished the wonderful feat of passing
and repassing the little chap several times
over the back of jackass. This treatment
was repeated every day for nine days, during
which time it was observed the animal grad.
ually became ill, while the child improved,
until the end of the nine days the jack sue
cumbed to swollen limbs and body, and. the
child was completely restored. The story, Of
course was not taken without salt, inasmuch
as the popular impression is that while child
or even a man would be perfectly cured of
all earthly ills by rubbing around the vicini-
ty of mules hind propellers, the patient,
for obvious reasons, wouldn't be able 10 tell
much about it afterward.

"A SOLDIERS DREAM.

Just before the battle of Cedar Creek
camp sentinel who was off duty temporarily
and trying to put in little sleep, dreamed
that he was out on q scout. A mile to the
right of the camp he came upon a log barn,
and as it began to rain just then, he sought
shelter, or was about to, when he heard voices
and discovered that the place was already
occupied. After little investigation he dis.
covered scouts had taken up their quarters
for the night in the place, and he therefore
moved away. The sentinel awoke with such
vivid remembrance of the details shat he
asked permission to 20 over and confer with
one of the scouts. When the log barn was de-
scribed to this ,uan he located it at once,
having passed it dozen times. The dream.
er described the highway exactly as it was,
giving every hill and turn, and the scout put
such faith in the remainder Of the dream
that he took four soldiers, one of whom
was the dreamer, and set out for the place.
Three Confederate scouts were asleep in the
straw, and were taken without shot being
fred.

sergeant in another company, would have his
horse killed in action, and would almost i'm

and rider would be killed by shell. This
dream was related to more thafa score Of
comrades fully two days before the fight.
Early in the fight the sergeant's horse was
struck square in the forehead by bullet and
dropped dead in his tracks. 1t was scarcely
three minutes before whitenosed horse,

to the sergeant and halted. He remembered
the dream and refused to mount the animal,
and soon after picked up black horse. The

THE SONG OF STEAM.

Harness me down with your iron bands,
Be sure of your curb and rein,
For scorn the strength of your puny hands
AS tempest ScOrnS a chain.
How laughed as lay concealed from slght
For many countless hour,
At the childish boasts of human might,
And the pride of human power.
When I saw an army upon the land,
navy upon the seas,
Creeping along, a snail-Hke band,
Or waiting wayward breeze;
When saw the peasant reel
With the toll that he family bore,
AS he turned at the tardy wheel,
Or toiled at the weary oar
When 7 measured the painting coursers speed,
The flight of the carrier dove.
AS they bore q law a king decreed,
Or the lines of impatient love
4 could but think how the world would feel
AS these were outstrpped affair."
When 1 should be bound to the rushing keel
Or chained to the f1eeting car!
Ha, ha, ha They found me at last,
And they invited me forth at length, .
And rushed to my throne with thunder blast
And laughed In my iron strength!
Oh then ye saw a wond rous change
On the earth and ocean wide,
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind and tide.
Hurrah hurrah the waters DER,
The mountains steep declines
Tme-space-haye Welded to my power
The world, the world is mine!-
The rivers the sun hath earlier blest,
Or those where his beams decline;
The giant streams of the queenly West,
Or the Orient floods divine.
The ocean pales where'er I sweep,
To hear my strength rejoice,
And monsters of the briny deep
Cover trembling at my voice.

Or the dawn of the glorious day.

From the hidden caves below,
And make the fountains granite cup
With crystal gush oertlow.

GROWTH OF ADULTERATIoN.-Ihe adul.
teration of our food, drink and medicines.
which it is now sought to prevent by national
legislation, has already attained surprising
magnitude. Experience warrants the belief
that if not effectually checked it will be much
more extensive in the future than now. The
work of adulteration is one Of growth. 1t
begins in small way and ends nowhere.
In coffee, for example; third Of century
ago it was adulterated with chickory to the
extent of about two and a.half pounds to the
hundred From that point it grew in few
years to fully fifty per cent. Then the chick
ory itself was subjected to adulteration, and
now it is impossible, to obtain samples Of So
called coffee which do not contain more than
twenty FIVE per cent of the genuine article
Even the man who buys his coffee in the
berry is liable to receive a villaiDous ad-
mixture of real berries with other stuff which
has been moulded into the true shape, but
contains none of the true material Parties IN
the trade can remember when about FIVE
per cent. of adulteration in pepper was about
as much az was considered safe, and now the
bogus amounts, in the worst cases, to not tar
from nine.tenths of the whole. And in these,
as we'll as in cases too numerous to mention,
viler stuffs are now used for substitute than
people dared to employ at the outset. There
is NO limit to the fraud when once it is started;
or at least the limit is only reached on the
extinction of the genuine article. That limit
has already been reached in the case of not
few drugs it is nearly reached in the man.
ufacture of artificial honey; and sugar and
butter are already far gone in the process OF
deterioration. Surely it is time to stop. Ihe

had play enough. 1t has become a question
of self preservation to the mass Of consumers.
