A Queer Old Pilgrim.

The old Connecticut pilgrim known as
''the darned man" is dead. In young
manhood his mind was unhinged by the
sudden death of his affianced bride, and
for the rest of his long life he trampcd
through the state, always wearing his
wedding suit. The great desire of his
life was to preserve that suit. And the
only articles be ever solicited were needles
and thread or yarn to mend it. As years
passed on, the repairs to which the suit
was subjected were so numerous that
but little Of the original cloth remained.
But in the eyes of the poor old pilgrim it
was always the same.-New York Tri-

Manufactures of Locomotives,

The Baldwin locomotive works, In
Philadelphia, last year turned out 653
locomotives, the greatest number ever
turned out by any shop in the same time.
The highest previous record was at the

were turned out. Three thousand men
worked 304 days to make the 653 loco

every four hours and forty minutes of
working time. Ii stretched in a straight
line the locomotives would reach five

he found in q village in the interior,
about so miles from Shanghai. The
printing was being temporarily car
ried On in the village temple, and
movable type only was used. In the
large central hall Of the temple were
placed about 20 ordinary square tab
les, on which the cases of types were
spread out, very much after the En-
glish method, only taking up much
more room. At the time Of the WIS.,
it one man was engaged in setting
up type, another was printing. The
former stood before a table, on which
was what may be called the Chinese
"case." 1t was solid block of hard
wood, about p inches long by Is in
ches broad, and perhaps 8 inches
deep. The inside was followed out
to depth of about quarter of an
inch, this depression being still fur
Their followed out into grooves about
three-q uarters of an inch deep. The
block had 90 of these grooves, each
filled to the depth of quarter of an
inch with ordinary stiff clay. With
his copy before him, armed with
small pair ofiron pinchers, the COM
positDr began his work; character af-
the character was transferred from
the case and firmly pressed into the
clay. When the Storm" was COM
piete a fiat board was placed on the
top and the characters pressed per-
fectly even and level with the sur
face of the wooden block, the edge of
which was cut to form the border
generally found round every Chinese
page. The printer now received the
form and carefully brushed his ink
over thet type. Taking sheet ofpa-
per, he pressed it down over the form
so that it might be brought in con-
tact with every character. He then
removed the sheet, and examined
each character, carefully adjusting
those which were not quite straight
with the pinchers, and apparently
never touching the type with his fin
gers. After sufficient copies had been
struck off the type was distributed,
each character being returned to its
particular box. The type in the
form was of three sizes, each charac
ter being kept in place entirely by
the CLAW in which it stood. They
were cut out of some hard wood and
were perfectly square. The writer
was told that the art of printing in
this way had been handed down in
the same family since the Sung dy-
nasty, more than 600 years ago. No
strangers were ever taught, appren-
tices being always taken from the
same clan. They were open to take

type, and ink, but not paper. They
were then printing family registers.
The custom in that part of the coun-
try is to hire printers, who bring
their type and set up their printing
establishment on the spot. In this
way the same business had been car
ried on in one family for six centu-
ries, and during all this time nova
bic type only had been used in the
manner here described.

The following hints are from the pen

among other operations has performed
the remarkable one of setting the

If person by fall or otherwise, in
jures limb, place it on a pillow or
other soft support in whatever position
is most comfortable, and then do not
disturb it until the physician arrives,
who should be Immediately sent for.
This will apply to injuries of any part
of the body.
In wounds there is sometimes danger
from loss of blood, therefore make
pressure by pressing the limb firmly
with the hands, or better still, apply a
very tight bandage. In either case the
pressure must be made above
the wound not directly over it
nor under it. The main artery
of the arm will be found between the
shoulder and the elbow, and on the
inner side of the large muscles. The
main artery of the leg can be found
most easily on the anterior aspect of the
thigh, just below the groin.
When a person faints do not attempt
to raise the head; it is better that it
should be on level with the body, CT
even lower. because BY this means one
gets the aid of gravity in restoring the
circulation of the blood in the brain,
and this will restore consciousness. The
use of spirits of ammonia applied to
the nostrils is sometimes efficacious; but
should not be persisted in too long,
neither should there be an attempt to
make the patient swallow before able,

is then that consumption resps its richest
harvest Consumption they tell US is caused

crobes in the air, by heterogeneous in
the blood, by deficient nutrition, by thou
sand and one things, but whatever the cause,
decay begins with cough and the remedy
that will effectually stop the cause Of that
cough cures the disease Of the lungs.
That is all there is Of it.
The cough is an evidence Of q wasting.
To stop it effectually, q remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal the lung and do
away with the cough. This is the power,
special to itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no new-fangled notion Of
narcotics and poisons, but an old-fash-
toned preparation Of balsams, roots and
herbs, such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago, the formula Of which has
been secured exclusively by the present
manufacturers at great trouble and expense.
1t is not mere cold dryer. 1t is system

expellant. Where others fail, it wins, be-

removes it from the system.
