TOOLS AND MACHINES.
According to AN Old Mechanic They Grow
Tired just Like Men.

According to AN Old Mechanic They Grow
Tired just Like Men.
1t is a common complaint among mechan-
les that their tools do not serve them as
well some days as others.
A correspondent of the Iron Industry Ga
zette says Tools, like men, grow tired. l
have seen a first-class chisel get tired and
act as though 1t was possessed OF the king OF
sheol 1t would not keep its edge, and the
more sharpened it the sooner it would lose
its edge.
/ called the attention Of shop-mate,
grizzled OLD veteran, 10 the curious be-
havior Of the chisel. He looked it over and
handed it back TO me saying; "The tool is
all right, only a little tired. Lay 1t away
and let it rest. 1t will come out all right
again, lust like a man who is tired" did
not believe the old fellow, and really
thought he was crazy 10 talk Of a tool
getting "tired," but as there was no help
| for it, the tool was laid away. do not re-
member how long 1t was left to rest, but
when il was again sharpened and used IL
appeared to hold its keenest edge as Wen
as it did before il got tired. BARRIERS tell
me their razors in constant use get tired IN
the same way, and wood-choppers say their
axes sometimes seem 70 get soft all at once
Possibly constant and hard usage may
cause changes in capitalization that would
account satisfactorily for the popularity
alluded 70. Locomotive engineers often
observe peculiar misbehavior in their ma
chimes, which may possibly be the result
of continued heating, friction and pounding.
When a tool gets "ured" or machine
"baIky," give each rest.

A Singers Friend.

A personal friend of Tamberlik,
the famous tenor, sends to London
newspaper the following story of an
incident which happened at Madrid,
where the artist lived for the last
twelve or thirteen years: One morn
ing walking through the bird mar
ket, when suddenly he drew bank
note for 5000 francs from his pocket,
bought all the creatures, opened
the cages, aud shouted laughingly
as the birds flew up in the air: eco
and be free, my brothers.!

A SERIOUS BLUNDIR.
A Lady Nearly Frustrated by
Patent Medicine.

A lady well-known In the Western Addition
has been great sufferer for years with in6i-
gestion and dyspepsia. Struck with tic tes.i
monials praising joys Vegetable Sarlapnrii,G
she sent for bottle. The druggis:, not Lay-
ing 1t, talked them into taking ano her Sara
parilla. As the leading Sarsararillas use
mineral blood purifiers, the effect of tie
emptying of Iodide of Potash into stomach
already distressingly delicate was disastrous,
almost prostrating her before the mistake was
rectiied. She then called upon Mrs Fowler,
OF ST Ellis street, whose name was among
those cured by joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
Mrs. Fowler said it was true that it had cured
her Again reassured, the vegetable COM
pound was sent for and gotten. The gentle
action Of its vegetable stimulants upon the
liver, kidneys and digestive organs, and its
warm stomach tonics, were the very things
needed, and she began improving and was
her old self within fortnight. This sounds
like fiction, but the names can be given Ii
necessary.-Sdn Francisco Examiner.

DEAFNESS Can't Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucus lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, (which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucus surfaces.
We offer One Hundred Dollars reward
for any case of Catarrh that cannot be
cured by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

What is Catarrh

Catarrh Is an inflammation Of the mucous
membranes, and may affect the head, throat,
stomach, bowels or bladder. But catarrh OF
the head is the most common, often coming on
so gradually that 1t has firm hold before the
nature Of the trouble is suspected. Catarrh
is caused by a cold, or succession OF coldss
combined with

reports of department work and adj
dresses on topics not sensational, but
were all attentive when politics or
Iowa were mentioned. All Of Friday
morning was devoted to a consecra-
ton service. Every morning session
began with Bible reading from 8 to
10 O'Clock. A deep religious spirit
peryaded the entire assembly. Each
day at noon all other things were laid
aside while one united 'noontide'
prayer went up to the Father of all.
So far as the convention itself was
concerned the reports of department
work were of the greatest interest
and Importance and received the
closest attention. Permit me in clos
ing to mention a few points, merely,
from these reports to give an idea of
what the W. G. 7. U. is doing any,
how besides discuss political ques-
lions. More than 81 100 have been
spent in work among foreigners,
nearly 100 different kinds of tracts
IN fourteen different languages having
been published; nineteen states have
taken up the work for peace and ar
bitration; capital stock of $542 900
has been secured for the temperance
temple; 100000 children have been
gathered into Loyal Temperance Le-
gions. The Police Gazette and SINH
lar publications have been suppressed
in many places. The legislatures of
twenty-seven states and the national
congress have made the science of
temperance a required study in all
schools under their control; the gain
of pledged Sunday school scholars in
ten states alone is more than &C, 900;
the Woman Temperance Publication
association has sent out more than
'l25, 100000 pages OF temperance and
religious literature. These items do
not summarize, but simply suggest
the vast work already accomplished
by the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union under the inspiration of
this motto: No sectarianism in re-
ligion, no sectionalism in politics, no
sex in citizenship; but each and all
Of us for God and home and native
land. MARY HENRY.

Mrs. Anna S. Harris, the Little
Rock police matron, is again at her
post, after serious illness of nearly
two weeks.
The many friends of that noble
Christian worker, Mrs. E. J. Rice.
treasurer of the W. G. T. Z. of the
State of Arkansas, will be sorry to
learn that she is very seriously ill of
typhoid fever, at her residence corner
Eleventh and High streets.
The many true, warm-hearted
friends of Mrs. Lucien Coy regret to
learn of her serious illness, and trust
that life spent in the service of
others may not only be spared for
many years of usefulness, but that
the greatest of all blessings, perfect
health, may be granted to her.
Prof. Williams vocal class, assisted
by Prof. J. j. Kellar, gave a public
musicale last night, at Smith & Ben
sons concert hall, 512 Main street.
The following well-known ladies and
gentlemen, Mrs. John NJ. Moore,
Misses Irene Baird, Bette Turner,
Josie Kirkwood, Birdie Vance, and
Messrs. c. r. Edgerton and R. D.
Williams, were upon the program,
which proved a complete success and
very pleasa Mt treat to their hearers.
In passing down Main street we
were attracted by the handsome show
windows of the f. P. Gray Dry
Goods Co., at 206 Main street, and
we concluded to step in and see what
they really had on inside, and we
must say that We were never more
astonished in our lives than
when we were met by polite statesmen
and saleswomen, and shown through
the store. Why it is regular won
der! The pretty goods, exceedingly
low prices, and the great variety OF
goods they carry. 1t will do one
good togo down there and 60 through,
just 10 see what they have got in the
way of Xmas goods, toilet goods and
notions. Go and see for yourself
and you will not regret it.

From the N. w. C. T. u. Bulletin.
EVANSTON, ILL.,, Nov. 26, 1888.

EVANSTON, ILL.,, Nov. 26, 1888.
10 THE EDITOR The bitterly par
tisan papers of the country have so
industriously circulated misleading
statements concerning the recent con-
ventlon of the National W. C. T. u.
held in Chicago, that l earnestly ask
you as a friend Of the truth, to pub
hsh the following facts in the matter.
One would think from these sensa-
tional reports that this convention had
done nothing from beginning to end
but discuss the yice-president's bar
room, abuse Mrs. Foster, berate the
republicans and pass third party
resolutions.
On the contrary, the yice-presi-
dents barroom would doubtless have
received very little attention had not
the partisan papers taken Miss Will
ard to task SO unjustly for accusing
the yice-president on the authority of
an unreliable newspaper, although,
as is well known, the so-called 'accu-
sation' had already been for days
before the public through the associ-
ated press dispatches, while Miss
Willard in her address simply ex-
pressed desire that, lin sorrow, not
in anger, protest should be sent to
the vice-president for permitting a
bar in his new hotel. The applause
which greeted further proofs that the
case was as stated, expressed, not
qualification over the fact, but SIM
ply appreciation of the complete vim
dication of our presidents position.
In respect to the second charge, it
may be said that Mrs. Foster was
given the floor whenever she asked it,
was granted extension of time again
and again and was heard with entire
respect on the part of delegates and
members. The patience and cour-
tesy with which she was treated were
subjects of remark by many specta-
tors. The slight Kisses which on two
occasions greeted her statements
came from outsiders. The second
time she herself called attention to
this fact.
The third charge is entirely I'M
founded. No party prohibitionists
were more cordially received by the
convention than were the Hon. Henry
W. Blair, republican senator from
New Hampshire, and Major Picker,
republican congressman ELECT from
South Dakota. A resolution was
passed rejoicing that the republican
party in South Dakota has declared
for prohibition, and many of the lead
ing women plainly stated before the
convention that the National W. G.
L, U. will endorse any and all parties
that will stand for our principles.
As to the last point. Very little
has yet been published concerning the
great number of other subjects en-
gaging the attention Of this meeting.
