superintendent Judson OF the Chi

boss who several years ago sent in a
report which made a bv-word for the

use to- day. Section bosses are provided
with blanks, on which they are re-
QuiIed to report all cases of animals
killed 10y trains. The blanks have
spaces for telling where, when and how
the animal was killed, and what dispo-
sition is made of the carcass, whether
it is buried or sold.
One day cow was killed out on the
Rochelle section, and section boss who
had been recently promoted, went to
make out the report He told in the
proper spaces what train killed the ami
nal and under what conditions it was
done. Then he came to the line:

''I'll be DANCED if I'm sure about that,

We have so often seen fatal results follow
he declaration that it can be cured, that we
nave unconsciously settled down in the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatal.
1t is true that occasionally community has
witnessed an isolated case of what may APP
propriately be termed spontaneous recovery,
but to what combination of favorable circum-
stances this re suit was due none have hitherto
been found able to determine
We have now the gratifying fact to announce
that the process by which nature effects this
wonderful change is no longer mystery to
the medical profession, and that the changes
brought about in the system under favorable
circumstances by intrinsic causes may be made
as certainty and more expeditiously by the use
Of the proper remedy. In other words, nature
Is initiated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter is nothing more OF less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
Now, if we can procure the organization of
this food material so that through the process
Of elective affinity it may take its place in the
system, can cure the disease. This is just
what Piso's Cure for Consumption does. 1t
arrests at once the progress of the disease by
preventing the further supply of tuherculous
matter, for while the system is under It's in
fiuence all nourishment is organized and
simulated. 1t thus controls cough, expectora-
characteristic symptoms of Consumption.
Many physicians are now using this medi-
cine, and all write that it comes fully up to its
recommendations and makes Consumption one
of the diseases they can readily cure.
The forming stage of disease is always the
most suspicious for treatment. This fact should
induce persons TO resort to the use of Pisos Cure
when the cough Is first not ced. whether II has
q consumptive diathesis for its cause or not
for this remedy cures all kinds of coughs with
uneQualled facility and prOmptnesS. In coughs
from simple cold, two or three doses of the
medicine have been found sufficient to remove
the trouble So in all diseases of the throat
and lungs, with symptoms Stimulating those
of Consumption, Pisos Cure is the only infal'
lible remedy.
The following letter recommending Piso's
Cure for Consumption, is fair sample of the
certificates received daily by the proprietor Of
this medicine:

A WONDERFUL PIT IN GEORGIA.
IL Contains n Peculiar Kind of Clay that
Cures the Worst Case. of Rheumati>

A wonderful electric pit recently dis
covered three miles from Sharon, Ca, is
affecting hundreds of cures from rheu-
matisln. A farmer named Hillman was
prospecting for gold. In little bend
of Harden's Creek, where the bank rises
abruptly, Mr.. Hillman observed some
strange discoloration OF the soil. tie
began digging, and finally desisted when
he could discover no metallic deposit.
A negro who was aiding + illman, had
long been afflicted with rheumatism. He
noticed that whenever he handled the
oozy clay In the pit that the muscles of
his hands relaxed, permitting him to use
them with all natural ease. When Hill
man abandoned the pit disappointed in
his search for gold, his employee left it
surprised at his freedom from the rheu-
matism of years.
The story soon spread, and people be
gan making Sunday visits to the strange
spot. Rheumatics resorted thereto, and

WHAT MACHINERY DOES.
WHAT A MACHINEsT HAS TO SAY on THE
SUBJECT.

There are men still living who renem-
Der the time when the laboring classes
were in comparatively helpless condi-
ton. They lived poorly, were awkward
ly clothed, their garments of the coars-
est material, and were content with fare
limited in quantity and meager in
quality. In the sense in which we to
day-understand popular education, 1t
was then unknown. The time of which
we speak does not extend back to
period over siXty-five or seventy years
ago.
The labOrng man and mechanic
struggled upward slowly, and was con
vInced only after he was defeated. He
fought every improvement in his cOndi-
ton, as he would have fought an enc
my. He regarded all labor-saving ma
chimes as so many enemies, eating up
the bread of himself and his children,
and crowding him out of the world,
when the fact was then, as now, that
they are his truest benefactOrs.
By the development of the industries
of this country, and not through the
efforts of politicians, America stands the
leading nation on the earth.
AS the number of machines annually
produced, and the mechanical faculties
Tor making them, are increased, Stats
tics show that the number of WOrkmen
is always augmented. Machines do not
supplant workmen, but create de-
mand for them. If workman is taken
away from one position, it is only to
find employment in another contiguous
one. The opponents of machinery
NAV if haA not INapy1
employed, more men would have been
needed; but it is easy to see that the
production would decrease, fewer ma
chimes would be made, and fewer men
n :eded to make them; for it is the prov
ince of the machine to supplement mans
labor, to elevate him, and to increase
his earnings, instead of the reverse.
The machine shop is one of the pro-
moters of civilization. The arts of pol
iticians are subordinate to it Without
the aid given by machines, their
schemes would fall dead; without the
locomotive and printing press, and the
telegraph, they could not reach the
ear of men in certain lines of thought.
One machine leads to another, and as
a consequence the intelligence of men
turning out machinery of a high class is
very marked, although they are un-
known, for the most part, except local
ly. The machinist speaks through the
work of his hand and brain. He adds
to the population of the world when he
sends forth a machine capable of in
creasing its working force; he frees his
fellows from the bandage of mere handi-
work, and sets them higher problems to
solve In pverv yav ne advances the
cause of his race, and leaves the world
richer by his labors. - Western Manu-.

Salt, by the Acre.

The abundance of the salt formations
in Nevada is illustrated by the fact that
in Lincoln county there is a deposit of
pure rock salt which is exposed for a
length of two miles, width of half a
mile, and is of unknown depth; in places
canyons are cut through it to depth of
sixty feet, and not only has the deposit
been traced on the surface for distance
Of nine miles, but it is so solid in places
as to require blasting like rock, and so
pure and transparent that print can be
read through blocks of it some inches
thick In Churchill county there is said
to be a deposit of rock salt some four
teen feet in depth, free from any particle
of foreign substance, and which can be
quaIried at the rate of five tons day
to the man. What is known as the
great Humboldt salt field is estimated
to be some fifteen miles long by six
wide. According to the description,
when the summer heats have evap0rated
the surface water, salt to the depth of
several inches may be sCraped up, and
underneath there is stratum of rock
salt of the purest description, and of Il
depth unknown.
