RHEUMATISM.
Its Real Nature Explained and How il
MAY be cured.

Rheumatism is as often as not, caused by
over eating, and especially by over indul-
gence in meat which is certain to cause an
excess of uric acid, and render the body
liable, on exposure to wet or cold, to an
attack. We know that old people are pro-
verbally liable to rheumatism. The reasons
for this are not far to seek. One is that
Joints and ligaments are harder and sitter,
and very often contain deposit-urate Of
soda Another is that, as a rule, people
up in wears eat more than is necessary to
support life, under the mistaken notion
that they want deal of nourishment to
keep them up. | say that on the contrary
the wear and tear of tissue is but trifiing
compared to what it is in earlier manhood,
and that far less food is required. There
fore if an elderly person would live long,
and be free from aches and pains, and be
calm in mind-for that is great desidera-
tum-he or she must live abstemiously
more or less.
Chronic rheumatism is far more common
than most persons are aware of. 1t is
quite indigenous to these isles of mist and
cutting winds; but is often in character
what we may call suppressed-that is, 1T
attacks the internal organs instead of joints
and muscles, though these may suffer at
the same time. But many a time and oft
a person complains of his liver being out
of order. or fit of indigestion, when the
real cause of his trouble lies in the blood,
which is for the time being poisoned with
uric acid.

it is a strange remedy. but it certainly
nives the mucous membrane rest, and al
fortls the blood time to get rid OF its impur-

cure of rheumatism, much might be said,
but what brooks it that one solourns at

he goes ON manufacturing the very acid or
acids that generate his complaint? No.

YOU are to look for relief, nor is it from

evil: we must attend to the organs of di-

THE CHRISTMAS BELLS"


Once more across the leafcss land
We hear the clash of Christmas chimes:
The young and old stand hand in hand,
And dream the past in present times.
There is IA story in The Bells
| That comes in whispers through he air.
Of love to some their music tells,
They sigh TO others of despair.
Last year we flung the window wide;
Twas such a Christmas Eve rs this;
We babe the bells to greet the bride
And consecrate the brideoroom.s kiss

To save the ship or still the wave
Tomorrow morning we shall pass
The flowers ON her husbands grave,

The darkness of last Christmas night
\ little robin cold and wet
Flew daZed and hungry to the light
Our holly wreaths unwithered still,
The glad new year had scarcely come,
We heard a shout across the hill,
Our long-lost brother had come home.

This letter was sent at last, and Marga-
ret now awaited Christmas as though it
were only the usual Sunday, which would
give her one days rest from study. She
turned the light down low, replenished the
fire. and drew her chair close beside the
glowing Goals. Down stairs the children
were rompmg with their father, Isabel was
singing at the piano, and Mrs. Granger in
her boudoir, was reading the last novel.
Dinner would not be ready for an hour
longer, and Margaret could have that hour
all to herself, if she choose.
So her thoughts went back to the past, and

How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is fact not generally known that the
james BOSE Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from AZ to 10 karats,
and or 6 karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy a
watch case so poor in quality that it viii
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t is economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an erperi-
ment-it has been made nearly thirty years.

the Medicine Bow Range. Space for

1t would fill q large volume. Arrived
at Granger Wyoming at o'clock p.

In the morning we INDUCED in the in

by shooting about 1000 pistol. shots at
the numerous rabbits in the sage
brush and killed several. All of these
towns are only section houses and a
saloon, store and telegraph station.
My friend and tried to trade pennies
and nickles for ornaments with the
Indians along the route, but were un-
successful. From Granger we pass
through Twin Creek Pass, a long tun-
mel at the head of the creek and pass
down another creek and valley.
The creek gets broader, the valley
deepens the hills higher with more
snow till We reach Montpelier lis
miles from Granger. Beyond this we
appear to be in q broad canon with
sides 1000 feet high. AT Soda Spings
we see soda water boiling out of the
tops of several small mounds, thow-
ing the water several feet high. Rob-

morning went whirling through aw-
full canons, grades, cut, etc. with two
60 ton mogul engines pulling US.
Miners are at work all along the road.
They are building large smelters at
Anda Conda. At Blackfoot river we
crossed tressels liz and 226 feet high.
We now were going down the west
side of the Rockies. Sunday morn
ing May 18th we woke up at Spokane
Falls w. T. Here we saw sunflowers
in full bloom; also wild roses. Grass
was knee high and going to seed.
From Sprague to Dallas is a vast
desert (along the road.) From Spoke
ma Falls to Portland 375 miles we
went down grade with 80 freight cars
and five cars full Of emigrants. At
one place we made eighteen miles in
twenty minutes. At Snake River we
csossed draw bridge 1900 feet long.
1t was awful dizzy. Sunday at dawn
we passed Alkali; here we passed
drifts Of sand higher than the tele-
graph poles. These kind of drifts fill
the valley for a hundred miles; 80
cents worth of gold can be washed
out of it. We had gold dust blow in
at the window with the sand.
Crooks and Sharpers were annoying
US continually. They got $500 out
Of our train. A few days they
made $500. We kept them out Of our
car by drawn revolvers. All the way
down the Columbia they were cutting
logs.
While passing through the Cascade
Range we saw lots of waterfalls, of
different sizes, some Of which were 800
feet high. The bluffs lowered up 800
to 1000 feet high. Fourteen miles
from Portland you can see Mt. Adams,
$50 feet high, and Mt. Hood, II OPS
feet high. There are 5000 Chinese in
Portland and 5000 "broke' emigrants
looking for work, it is busy city.
They come to try the cities, and never
think of the country. When "broke"
they are desperate, hence lots of sharp
