Double Locomotives

The Railroad Gnette calls attention
to a double locomotive for the Indian
state railways which is n novel depart
ure from the common practice. The
design is really a permanent double
header; that is, ii is intet ded for use
when the the conditions are such as To
require the use OF two locomotives of
the ordinary type, continually in
tandem This arrangement removes
the nrcrssity forv tyo tenders, and ren.
ders easier the trshsm ssion of signals
from one cab TO another There is
nothing in this arrangement to criticise
1t is really almost the only plan upon
which locomotives Of great capacity
can be constructed with any approach

foot of track. This general plan is moi
new in Am rica, howev,r. The we'll

locomotive works, of Taunt,n, Mass.
constructed locomotives on this general
plan many years since; and recently
the South Side Rapid Transit company
of Chicago, while investigating the
possibilities of extending the useful
ness OF the proposed structure in years
to come, decided that the adoption Of {
locomotive of design similar TO th'

That Little Tickling

In your throat, which makes you
cough once in while and keeps you
constantly clearing your throat, arises
from catarrh, and as catarrh is a con-
stitutional disease the ordinary cough
medicines all fail to hit the spot.
What you need is constitutional re
medy like Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many
people who have taken this medicine
for scrofula, dyspepsia, loss of appe-
tite, and other troubles, have been eur
prised that it should cure this trouble.
some cough. But to know the actual
cause of the cough is to solve the mys-
terry. Many cases of consumption can
be traced back to the neglect of some
such slight affection as this. Con-
sumption can be controlled in its early
stages, and the effects of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla in purifying the blood, building
up the general health, and expelling
the scrofulous taint which is the cause
of catarrh and consumption, has re-
stored to perfect health many persons
on whom this dreaded disease seemed
to have firm hold.

A Matrimonial Barometer.
MANS SHAVING HABITS AN UNFAILING
INDICATION OF HIS INTENTIONS.

A young man, who for several
years had been getting shaved at one
of the Madison Square hotels, stepped
up to the chair of his favorite barber
the other day. His face was cleauly
shaven and the barber noted it and
when the young man said he wanted
his hair cut, the barber began opera
tons Immediately and in silence. BIT
in little while he began to murmur,
"Very soon, very soon, ah!" The
young man didn't know what that
meant, but said nothing. The barber
repeated the words a moment later.
Still the man in the chair remained
, silent. Then the barber, who had
known the young man sufficiently long
to become somewhat familiar began tn
ask, "Ho soon, how soon, how soon
will it be'"
"What on earth are you driving at,
mani" suddenly asked the perplexed
victim.
"Oh, nothing; but see you are be
ginning to shave yourself and take it
that is sign Of something. Yes,
know pretty we'll what it means when
a young man stops getting us to shave
him. It's the beginning Of his econo
mics and about the first sign that the
young man Is going to get married.
Almost any observant barber will tell
You that this is belief in the traio,
and l can tell by the way yon look
that it's the case with you"

then, but as he was leaving he admit.

From ne boston Globe.
An amusing story about Richard
Mansfield, the actor, is going the
rounds. The last time the Princess
Mary Adelaide visited the Lyceum
Theatre, London, she was accompan-
led by the Princess victoria, the young
Princes, the Duke of Teck and party
Of friends. Mr.. Mansfield, having
entertained them with some light re-
fresbments served in the saloon attach
ed to the Royal box, himself Joined
the company after the play, still
wearing the costume in which he
had appeared upon the stage. Having
conversed with her Royal Highness
for some time he CALAMITY offered his
arm to the Duchess TO escort her to
her carriage.
Unfortunately Mr.. Mansfield is
rather near sighted, and, also unfortu-
nately, two stairways absolutely simi-
lar in appearance, lead, one to the
Royal entrance, the other TO the stage.
Mr.. Mansfield took the latter, the
Princes and the Princess and the en-
tire suite following him. Arriving at
the foot of the fight Of stairs, the
Princes Mary, who although very
handsome woman, is extraordinarily
stout, stopped for a moment to
rest, when to evcrybody's horror Mr..
Brown-Cave, Mr.. Mansfeld's Secre-
tary, was heard to say in very mild
voice from the top of the landing, "Sir,
yuo have taken the wrong staircase"
Mr.. Mansfield looked at the Ouch
ess the Duchess looked ct Mr. Mans
field.
81 hope" said the Princess with an
air of great distress, and breathing
hard, 81 hope--I shall not have 10 go
up againl"
"Not" replied Mr.. Mansfield, 'if
your Royal Highness will. consent to
cross the stage"
There was a moments hesitation,
during which II. Il. II. probably pray
ed that the Queen might not hear
of this adventure, aud then the whole
party filed across the stage and out at
the stage door where the crowd shout
ed itself hoarse at the sight of Mr..
Mansfield in blonde wig and silk
stockings assisting a royal duchess in
to her carriage. Her Royal Highness
was however in no way offended.

Reliable Medical AID.

Only those who have suffered, and whose
lives have been suspended i'm the trembling
balance between life and death, can realize
how the afflicted grasp at an opportunity to
be cured. Ii we cannot move without pain,
eat without suffering, and obtain rest in
sleep, of what use Is life to us? Happiness
without health is an impossibiity, and all
the pleasures of life become dim and unreal.
The object of life without hopes and aspira-
tons fades rapidly as disease reduces and
death approaches. How many people rea-
lie the above facts yet pay no attention to
that which undermines their health. HUI
man life Is too short to be made miserable
by diseases that are durable, and it is in this
connection we wish to say word concern
ing DIR. truth, of New York, whose adver-
tisement is no doubt familiar to the readers
of THE TIMES. He has, by superior
knowledge and various experience, acquired
special skill in the treatment of certain all
ments that physicians in general practice
could not expect to possess. We may also
add that his dealings with the afflicted are
honest and conscientious, but we, as is our
custom, withheld this endorsement of him
until we had good reasons to know that he
is justly entitled to all that is claimed for
him as an experienced physician and an
honorable gentleman, worthy of whatever
confidence that may be reposed in him.
His recent visits here have been beneficial
to his patients, and we have no hesitation in
commencing him to those who have failed
to find relief from other sources. The
doctor can be consulted free of charge, at
the Merell House, OwOSSO. October 2d.

ing the offer of the Detroit Tribune. That
company offers to furnish flag 1Ox1S feet,
made in good style from frst-class bunting,

conditions are that the money shall be raised
by the School children, and that the flag
shall float above the school building. TIC
further this enterprise the teacher of each
grade will receive subscriptions from the
pupils of her department.; and, if enough
can be collected to purchase flag for each

will be erected and our National Ensign will
