 A YouNe WIFE's GREATEST TR1A1.--Ths greatest trial of young wife's life is the birth of child which is usually attended with many hours of hard labor and intense pain. PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH, a new book by Dr. J. H. Dye, one of New York's most emi- nent physicians, however, shows that pain is not necessary in childbirth, but results from causes easily understood and overcome. It proves conclusively that any woman may be- come mother without experiencing any pain whatever. It also tells how to overcome and prevent morning sickness, swell ed limbs, ner- vousness, pain in back, and all the unpleasant sensations attending pregnancy. It answers hundreds of delicate questions about women and their peculiar troubles. Physicians high ly recommend it, and say that it will do all that is claimed for 1t.

An immense undertaking is the building of New York's new acqueduct. Accord ing to rough estimate for seven-eighths of the distance between Harlem River and Croton Dam it will have to be cut through rock One of the greatest engineering feats connected with it will be tunnelling under the streams, the Harlem, the Saw min and the Pocantico rivers. By aid of the electric light, which will allow the work to go on night and day, it is expected that the undertaking will be finished in about three years. It is not so long ago that about double this time would have been consumed.

 The borough meeting held Tuesday afternoon proved satisfactory to all parties, excepting those who went expecting to witness war of words.

The in- definite postponement of all action on the matter of printing the charter and bylaws having been passed without instruction to the burgesses, virtually leaves the matter where it belongs, in the hands of the court of burgesses, and they can now, If they choose, meet the public demand, and have copies printed.
