The vanderbilt system Of railways

Few persons have any conception OF the
magnitude Of the interests covered by The
above title, and very few even among the
railway fraternity are aware Of how fully
this vast SISTER. occupies the field in which
1t is located; but IT you will take a map and
trace out, first, the New York Central &
Hudson River; second, the Boston Il
Albany; third, the Lake Shore & Mich
igan Southern; fourth, the Michigan
Central; fifth, the Cleveland, Cincin-
natl, Chicago & st. Louis formerly the
'sBee Line" and !'Big Four'' railroads,
you will be Impressed with the wonderful
foresight OF the men who designed and ex-
ecuted the plan to operate under uniform
policy, and practically common control, q
system OF railways that should furnish unsur-
passed transportation facilities to the great
commercial empire outlined above, and
u trip over this grand aggregation will
convince the most skeptical that the Van
derbilt System of Railways, of which
the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad is the main stem, traverses
the very heart Of the business por-
ton Of this continent, touching, either di-
rectly or through its immediate connec-
tions, all the important commercial centers
of the country, and Offering to health, pleas
ure and business travel facilities that are
not equalled by any similar institution in
the world.
An edition of one hundred thousand copies
of very neat little pamphlet bearing the
title at the head of this article has just been
issued by the American Bank Note Com
pany of New York, which contains much
Interesting information concerning this
great system.

Confidence Bepot of Success.

50 confident are the manufacturers Of that
world-famed remedy, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, that it will do all that
they represent, in the cure of liver, blood
and lung diseases, that, after witnessing its
thousands of cures for many years past,
they now feel warranted in selling it (as
they are doing, through druggists) under a
positive guarantee of it's giving satisfaction
in every case, or money paid for it will be
refunded. No medicine of ordinary merit
could be sold under such severe conditions
with profit to its proprietors, and no other
medicine for the diseases for which it is
recommended was ever before sold under a
guarantee of cure or no pay: In all blood
taints and impurities of whatever name or
nature, it is most positive in its curative ef-
fects. Pimples, blotches, eruptions and all
skin and scalp diseases are radically cured
by this wonderful medicine. Scrofulous
diseases may affect the glands, causing
swellings or tumors; the bones, causing
sfever-sores," ''white swellings' or chip:
joint disease;' or the tissues of the lungs,
causing pulmonary consumption. No mat
ter in which one of it's myriad forms it crops
ont, or manlfests itself, Golden Medical
Discovery will cureit it used perseveringly
and in time.

TREATMENT FOR HOGS.
Saltpeter the Main Remedy for Most Dis
GASES Of Swine.

Saltpeter the Main Remedy for Most Dis
cases of Swine.
Saltpeter thins the blood and allays
fever. Spirits of turpentine is healing
to the lungs and fatal to typhoid symp-
toms. A teaspoonful of saltpeter and
the same quantity of spirits of turpen-
tine in each barrel Of swill is good
thing for we'll hogs in district where
there is any liability to hog plague. If
any symptoms of sickness occur in
crease the dose to a pint of saltpeter
and half a tea-cup of turpentine to each
barrel of swill, and if it does not stop
at that give all they can be made to
take in their swill. One year, while
feeding over hundred shotes, they
were taken with cholera, or hog plague.
I say hog plague because the disease
did not always assume the same form.
Hogs will generally purge in the last
stages of almost any fatal disease, so
purging and vomiting is not always
the beginning, but frequently the
ending, or last stages of the
ulSt5ttS6. al uCctIr d1A CttSeS i
find fever. The blood thickens and
sometimes the hogs are costive. They
almost always cough more or less, &C
cording to the severity of the disease.
They frequently have blind staggers,
will turn round and round. run against
buildings or fences, and sometimes
travel in every direction as far as the
limits Of the pasture will allow, until
within few minutes of death. Some-
times they have quick, irregular
breathing like a horse with the
thumps. Again, their eyes will pro-
tude An internal examination gem
orally shows the lungs and midriff, to-
gether with the whole lining of the
chest, seriously affected. The whole
alimentary canal is affected something
as the human being is affected with
typhoid fever. I experimental long
time before l came to the following
conclusion as to remedies -
A have given a 2-quart pailful of
saltpeter in rich swill to 100 sick
shotes, and it benefited them at once.
If the hog gets SO sick he will not
drink the swill, let two men hold him
on his back and, forcing his mouth
open with stick, put half a teacupful
of pine tar, mixed with a heaped ia
blespoorful OF pulverized saltpeter
down the animals throat. Then make
a tablespoonful of turpentine follow it
and anoint the neck and chest of the
patient with teacupful more of the
the same fluid. I have cured hogs
worth 500 apiece. Sometimes the
treatment has to be repeated the sec.
ond time. Three men can dose 100
I hogs in two or three hours, so it is
not great job. e. D. Griswold, IN

FOR GUM CHEWERs
How the Sticky Stuff IL Made In an Indl.
RMapOlts FACTORY. IS

10" Gn0 S0lCky STUN IN 5N10U0 IN an indie
annapolis Factory.
Down in the extreme southeastern
part of the city is a chewing gum fac
tory. This enterprise is a growing in.
dustry, adjusting itself to a growing
habit in this community. It is as nat
ural nowadays for a Hoosier, at least
in the Hoosier capital, to ask for or Of
fer a piece of gum, as it was for an old
time Hoosier to request or companion
ably offer ...chaw of terbaccer. -
Every body chews. Doctors, law
yers. merchants, that picturesque ag-
gregation, the city council, and the en-
tire baseball nine. When the habit
of chewing gum was confined to ''gig-
CLING school girls it was an object Of
ridicule. When the girls fathers be-
gan chewing they formulated ingenious
excuses for it. Now every body chews
and nothing is said. Any one bringing
up the old-time objections is either ig-
nored, laughed at or looked upon with
interest as relic of antiquity.
This chewing gum factory is not a
pretentious place. One would be like
ly to pass it by many times without
knowing that a process of wide interest
was going on inside. The interior is
much like that of a confectioner's
shop, and the working is the same.
The proceedings start in a large kettle
fitted into the top of a stove. Here
the ''chicie'' is boiled. This is the
gummy sap of a tropical tree, which
is caught much as maple sap is taken
from trees in the North. It is dried
by the sun into brown lumpy SUBJ
stance. This is the part of the gum
that is most steadfast. It is what re-
mains when all the attractive but
tickle sweetnesses have departed. 1t
is also the part which after an hour
or two gives ones jaws blase feel
ing that is quite rebelious to the ur-
gent demands of a hungry stomach.
An ample amount of sugar and flavor
ing is added to this substance, and
when cool it is kneaded and other
wise treated like bread. It is laid
on one of those large smooth
stones common to confectioners'
shops and printing offices. Here
it is smoothed thin by a
large polished iron roller, and
made still smoother by a wide double
roller press. Over the large sheet is
then rolled rod on which circular
knives are arranged at intervals equal
to the length of the future stick of
gum. These quickly cut the gum into
long strips. The strips are passed
through another roller press, whose
width is equal to their width.
In one of the rollers are grooves at
regular intervals, which are fitted into
the roller above. By these the strips
are compressed at distance equal to
the width of a stick of gum. It is
thus easy to break the strips into
sticks. This is done by young ladies.
who wrap them in small printed labels,
stretch a small band of rubber about
five of them, and place the packages
in neat boxes holding one hundred
sticks each, such as are seen in the
drug stores. Five flavors of the gum
are made-licorice, mint, pineapple,
winter-green and sarsaparilla. The
industry, like every other Indianapolis
enterprise, is thrifty Indianapolis

GOWNS FOR BUSY WOMEN.
The Loose Blouse and Straight Skirt Seen
to Be the FavOrites.

The Loose Blouse and Straight Skirt Seem
to Be the Favorites.
The business women of New York
are actively discussing the style OF
dress best suited to self-supporting
women. With competition in every
line daily growing keener they find
that they can not afford to be ham
pered by their clothes. The woman
who makes success in any occupation
is not the woman who is bundle of
nerves. An unyielding bodice which
prevents full deep breathing, the high
'fdog" collar which is heating in sum-
mer and which rasps the neck all the
year round, the absence or inaccessi-
bility of the pocket in which to CARRY
the articles which business life re-
quires are sources of annoyance and
nervous irritation. It is not long since
one of the largest working girls So
cieties of the city adopted the blouse
and straight gathered skirt as
club dress for members. Mrs. Jen-
ness Miller, the successful dress re-
former, has among her costumes an
office-dress for business women, the
principal features of which are a full
Fedora vest front OF surah silk with
short jacket of fine wool, and straight,
undraped skirt laid in wide box-plaits
IN front and gathered on to the waist
behind. Another dress is a modifica-
ton of the Directoire gown, with seven
pockets, almost as many as are owned
by that lucky creature, the boy, with
his first pantaRoons. Four of these
pockets are inserted in the vest, one
for the watch, one for a pencil, two for
car tickets and small change. Under
one OF the panels on the right side is q
long pocket for the purse and hand
kerchief. Two pockets for memoran-
dum-book and card-case are tucked
away among the rear draperies. When
the owner has another dress made she
proposes to add an eighth pocket on
the left side for keys and miscellaneous
belongings. Think of such luxuries,
We women who have no pockets at all,
but carry umbrella, handkerchief,
three bundles and baby in one hand,
while you hold up your skirts open
doors and pay fares with the other
N. Y. Mail and Express.
