THEIR BUSINESS BOOl1ING

Probably no one thing has caused such
a revival of trade at c. J. Lofgren's drug
store as their giving away to their Gus
toners of so many free trial bottles of
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton. Their trade is simply enormous in
this very valuable article from the fact
that it always cures and never disap-
points. Coughs, colds, asthma, bronchi-
tbs, Group, and all throat and lung dis
eases quickly cured. You can test it be-
fore buying by getting trial bottle free,
large size 81. Every bottle warranted.

ASCRAPOF PAPERSAVES HER LIFE.

1t was just an ordinary scrap of wrap
ping paper, but it saved her life. She
was in the last stages of consumption,
told by physicians that she was incura-
BILE and could live only short time.
She weighed less than seventy pounds:
On piece OF wrapping paper she read Of
DR.. Kings New Discovery, and got
sample bottle. 1t helped her; she bought
large bottle; it helped her more; bought
another and grew better fast, continued
its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy,
plump, weighing 40 pounds. For
fuller particulars send stamp to w. H.

Elsewhere is published the official call
for special election to vote on propo-
sition to issue city bonds not to exceed
$4,000 for new bridge. The HERALD
need say little upon this proposition.
A new bridge is an absolute necessity,
and if frst-class structure can be Sc
cured for the sum proposed it would be
worse than folly, it would be criminal,
to continue the dangerous risks to life
now daily incurred. 1t would be better
to tear the old bridge away and rely
upon the ford than to use the old rotten
structure much longer. That some one
has not gone through it is a matter for
congratulation. BY all means, let us
have new bridge, and good one.

UNSURPASSED IN THE WORLD.
The vestibuled trains of the Chicago,
milwaukee, and So, Paul railway, running
between Minneapolis and st. Paul and
Milwaukee and Chicago, are the perfec-
tion Of modern railway equipment, and
are unsurpassed in the world. They
consist of elegant day coaches, Pull
mans latest and best sleeping cars and
the finest dining cars in the country.
These trains are lighted by electricity
and heated by steam, and afford to the
traveller every comfort and convenience
to be had at the very best hotels. All
classes of tickets are honored on these
trains and the rates are no higher than
by other lines. 1t is for this reason that
discriminating travellers patronize this
company and insist that their tickets
read over its line, as they naturally
want the best service for their money.

A Dog That waits for "Amen."

Mr.. w. S. Wells, of Wilkcsbarre,
Pa, is the possessor Of a beautiful
black and white cocker spaniel. which
for intelligence is not surpassed by any
dog IN the state. Every morning, as
soon as Boss hears his master stirring,
he brings his slippers, after which he
scampers to the front porch for the
morning paper, always being careful
to close the door after him. Boss
never thinks of retiring for the night
without first saying his prayers He
places his front feet upon chair,
bows reverently, closes his eyes and
nothing but ''amen" PRONOUNCED by
his master will induce him to cease his
devotions.
One evening as Mr.. Wells was
closing the house for the night Boss
came in with what his master s,lppos-
ed to be q bone, but when ordered out
with it refused to obey, and insisted
upon delivering to Mr. Wells what he
held in his mouth. Upon examina-
ton Mr.. Wells found, to his great sur
prise, not bone, but his spectacles
and case that he had dropped by acct
dent in the barn while attending to his
horse. Boss is not for sale.-Philadel-

Henry James Says Some Sound Thinss In
Letter to the Deerfield school.

Letter to the Deerfield school.
. I am afraid I can do little more
than thank you for your courteous in
vitation to be present at the sittings of
your delightfully."- sounding school of
romance, which ought to inherit hap
piness and honor from such name. /
am so very far away from you that /
am afraid can't participate very in
telligibly in your discussions, but can
only give them the furtherance Of a
dimly discriminating sympathy. /
am not sure that l apprehend very
we'll your apparent premise, ''the ma
terialism of our present tendencies"
and l suspect that this would require
some clearing up before should be
able Gf even them to contribute any
suggestive or helpful word.
To tell the truth can't help think
ing that we already talk too much
about the novel, about and around it,
in proportion to the quantity of it hav-
ing any importance that we produce.
What L should say to the nymphs and
SWANS who propose to converse about
it under the great trees at Deerfield is:
"Oh, do something from your point
of view; an ounce of example is worth
a ton of generalizations; do some
thing with the great art and the great
form; do something with life. Any
point of view is interesting that is q
direct impression of life.
You each have an impression col
ored by your individual conditions;
make this into picture, a picture
framed by your own personal wisdom,
your glimpse of the American world.
The field is vast for freedom, for
study, for observation, for satire, for
truth" l don't think l really do know
what you mean by undertaking
tendencies" any more than l should
by 'spiritualizing" or "etherealizing.
There are no tendencies worth any
thing but to see the actual or the inn
aginative, which is just as visible, and
to paint it. l have only two little
words for the matter remotely ap-
preaching to rule or doctrine; one is
life and the other freedom. Tell the
ladies and gentlemen, the ingenious
inquirers, to consider life directly and
closely, and not to be put off with
mean and puerile falsities, and to be
conscientious about it. 1t is infinitely
large, various and comprehensive.
Every sort of mind will find what it
looks for in it, whereby the novel be-
comes truly multifarious and illustra-
tive.
That Is what / mean by liberty; give
it its head and let it range. If it is in
a bad way, and the English novel is,
l think, nothing but absolute freedom
can refresh it and restore its self re-
spect. Excuse these raw brevities and
please convey to your companions, my
dear sir, the cordial good wishes of
yours and theirs.-Henry James.

EXtinguished.

Thomas Corwin-Tom Corwin, he
wasalmost always called-was remark
able for his power of quick repartee
He was witty, and his wit was always
at his tongues end. "There 60 some
of your constituents, Corwin," said
John G. Calhoun, pointing to drove
of Ohio mules.
"Yes, said Corwin, gravely, ''they
are going down south to teach
school"
In one of his political campaigns,
Governor Brough was pitted against
Corwin. La the course of his speech
the governor said:
Gentlemen, my honored opponent
himself, while he breaches encourage
ment of home industry, has a car
riage at home which he got in England
had it shipped across the ocean to
him. How is that for supporting
home industry and LAHORE"
When Corwin's turn came, he be-
gan slowly and in a stammering, con-
fused manner, as if he felt himself in
a very embarrassing predicament.
''Well, gentlemen" he said, You
have heard what my friend Mr..
Brough, has to say of my carriage.
l plead guilty to the charges, and
have only two things to say in my de-
Tense.
1.-THE first is that the carriage came
to me from an English ancestor, as an
heirloom, and had to take it. The
second is that have not used it for
seven years, and it has been standing
in my back yard all that time, and the
chickens have converted it into q
roost.
Now, gentlemen, that is all the de-
fenso / have to offer; but before | go
on with what have to say upon the
topics before us, should like to ask
how Brough happens to know any
thing about my carriage, unless he
has been visiting my chicken roost. "

Heat is transmitted in three ways
by conductiop, as when the end of a
short rod of iron is placed in a fire and
the opposite end becomes warmed
this is conducted heat; by conviction
by means of currents-such as the
warming of mass of water in boil
er, furnace or saucepan; and by IA
diation, as that diffused from piece
OF hot metal or an open fire. Radiant
heat is transmitted like sound or light,
in straight lines in every direction,
and its intensity diminishes inversely
as the square of the distance from its
center or point of radiation.-Once a

How to Disinfect.

Clothing which requires disinfect-
ing should be submitted for about
three hours to temperature of $50
degrees in O chamber charged with
sulphuric fumes from large guam
tity of sulphur. The chamber should
be SO constructed as to prevent tho
fumes from passing off. No germs
can stand this.
After a room has been used by q
person sick with any contagious dis
ease, it becomes necessary to disinfect
it before it is fit to be used again. This
is done by removing and burning the
paper on the walls, removing the bed
steads and other furniture, and expo.
sing them to air and wind, and giving
them fresh coat of varnish; by hav
ing the mattress made over new and
the hair boiled; by burning in the
room three pounds of sulphur, and by
whitewashing, painting and papering
the room anew.
Now that il is generally conceded
that consumption is caused by germs
which multiply in the lungs, a meth
cd of disinfecting them, which shall
be harmless, has been sought for, but
as yet without avail. The vapor Of
creosote, the oil of the eucalyptus and
carbolic acid have been tried, and
to some extent they may paralyze or
stun the germs and prevent their ra-
pid increase, but as the passages Of
the lungs are delicate, and the vapor
cannot be brought very near to them
without injury, the good effects are
slight. But there is one method which
cannot fail to prove beneficial and
that is the inhalation of large quanti-
ties of fresh, pure air. This is worth
more than any disinfectant for the
lungs, and can do no harm. Practical
