THE NEW EDITION OF

Worcester's is, in tie estimation of all schol-
ars, the best dictionary extant for general use.
There is certainly no realcomparison possible be-
tween it and its most popular rival. The Office
of dictionary is, of course, not to make inno-
vations, but simply to register the best usage in
spelling ana pronunciation. This Worcester
does, and this its rival conspcuously fails TO do.

Years ago Worcester's Dictionary was recog-
nized, in England well as the United States, as
the best in existence by the very best writers and
students. 1t has a stR higher claim to this
distinction in this new edition, which makes
other dictionaries superfiuous, and serves also
a cyclopsedia; a textbook on the language; a
vocabulary of Greek, Latn Scriptural. and mod
ern proper names; collection of proverbs,
phrases, and quotations of all languages a COM

"Shot and She'll" by George F.
Williams.
William Coad, of this city, is canvassing for
subscribers for new book entitled " Shot and
Shell, by George F. Williams, war correspondent.
The work vividly portrays many of the impor-
tant and exciting events of the late war, and is
highly interesting book. Mr.. Coad who is a
veteran of the war, being unable TO perform
hard work has taken the agency for the sale of
this book and is in every way, worthy of the
confidence of those upon whom he may call
" Lives of Blaine and Logan" by
Walter R. Houghton.
The author of this work is professor of polit-
ical science in the Indiana University, and
has written number of practical works.
The book in addition to the interesting biog
raphies of the republican candidates for Pres
ident and Vice President, contains history
of the republican party, the platforms of. both
the great political parties since 1856, and
much more valuable political history. Mr..
Smith who is canvassing for the work was a
a soldier in the war of the rebellion, and some
years ago he lost leg in a mining accident.
The work which he is selling is an interesting
one, and he is deserving of success in his efforts
to earn living for himself

A happy surprise it was to Mr.. A. r.
Norton, OF Bristol, Conn, when ArHLoPHoRos
put him on his feet, and sent him cheerfully
about his business. Let him tell his own story:
about three weeks ago was taken
with q severe crick in the back. For four days
/ was unable to turn in bed without help, and
when lifted up could not stand on my feet Twas
induced 10 try ATHLoPHoRos, after all the usual
remedies failed. In 20 minutes after taking the
first dose could bear my weight upon my feet
In two days WAS able TO get about and attend
10 business In two other cases which have
come TO my knowledge it use has been attended
with the same results"
A poor man in Philadelphia had to Dor
row dollar 70 buy bottle OF ATHLoPHoRos
On account OF his poverty his name shall remain
secret. He had suffered terribly from Rheu-
matism. He gratefully writes:
al took my first dose Tuesday afternoon,
and on Wednesday, after but seven doses, had
not sharp or severe ache left. Then reduced
the dose one half and took the remainder of the
bottle. was able TO be steady at work till Sat
nrday, when took severe cold and was un
able 70 use my left hant purchased another
bottle and by bedtime i found relief The
medicine is all you claim for it."
Investigate ATHLoPHoRosa all you please!
Find all the fault you choose with it and
yet the fact remains, that it is doing what
no other medicine ever could do for Rheu-
matism and Neuralgia.
Ifyou tget ATHLoPHoRos OF your drug
gist, we Will send 1t express paid, on receipt OF
regular prce-one dollarper bottle. We prefer
that you buy 1t from your druggist, but If he
hasn't 1t, do not be persuaded to try something
else, but order at once from US as directed

the advocacy of

of trade as well as being right and just is best
for the interests of the whole country and 10
that end the duties on imports ought to be cut
down to the lowest point at which they can be
maintained and still raise a sufficient share of
the revenue to enable the government to meet
all legitimate expenses.

ANOTHER GREAT CANAL.
A Cut From the Atlantic Ocean TO tn
Mediterranean,

a Cut From the Atlantic Ocean 10 tn q |
Mediterranean.
Confirming what was stated here early |
in the present year respecting a scheme |
which excites lively interest in Spain,
a Spanish newspaper, published on the
northern frontier, states that canal
from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean,
which is to convert the Iberian
Peninsula into an island, appeared now
to be in u fair way to become an accom-
plished fact. Starting from the Gironds,
the proposed canal is intended to touch
Toulouse, continuing through Langue-
doe and joining the Mediterranean near
Narbonne. AS the site of q commercial
emporium, Narbonne holds position
second TO none in France, being placed
at an angle of the Gulf of Lyons, and in
the va ley of the Aude.
According to the journal referred to,
the contract for the work is signed be-
tween the founders and the contractors
of the Suez Canal for a canal capable of
taking vessels of the largest size. The
! fonders have asked the French Govern
ment for Il guarantee of l00O0,000 francs
annually, to begin from 1889, when the
works are expected TO he completed.
This guarantee to help to cover the in
terest on the capital expended.
1t is further alleged that the Minis
ter of Public Works has promised
the scheme his support, and has ordered
u Government engineer to report on the
district through which the canal is eX
pected to pass.
Spain looks upon this scheme from
several distinct points of view, but the
balance of opinion is favorable to it.
The canal, if made, would constitute Il
new line of defense for France, which
it is hoped would remove the objections
made by the French military authori-
ties to the perforation OF
the Pyrenees at the points
most convenient for Spain-Can-
fra. c, for instance. 1t would not only
/, bring some of the Spanish ports nearer
; to those of England and Northern Flu
rope, but would connect those of Gaia
!, lonia with the Biscayan provinces AS
turias and Galicia. The canal, il is
thought, will affect unavorably some o
, the southern ports, for what reason il
2 not very clear, and the Importance o
! Gibralter, from astrategic point of view
is expected to be. considerably reduced

Having passed several nights dis
turbed by the agonies and cries of a suf-
fering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
was Just the article needed, procured n
supply for the child. On reaching home
and acquainting his wife with what he
had done, she refused to have il admins
tered to the child, as she was strongly in
favor of homeopathy. That night the
child passed in suffering, and the parents
without sleep. Returning home the day
following the father found the baby still
worse, and whileC another
sleepless night the mother stepped from
the room to attend TO some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered II
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept we'll, and the little fellow
awokc in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change, and although
Mt first offended at the deception prac-
/ ticed upon her, has continued to use the
syrup, and suffering, crying babies and
restless nights have disappeared. \
