In a Big reierrnph omee.

Suppose that the average man is in
duced to step oil from State street for a
few minutes, and mount the four or FIVE
flights of stairs leading to the main gper-
ating room If the Western Union com
pany's Boston office, having, of course,
obtained froIa the proper authority the
necessary permission TO do so. When the
top floor is reached, and entrance to the
main operating room gained, there is
heard the most peculiar and astounding
CHATTER imaginable. 1t is as if all the sew
ing circles In the world had met for an
afternoon Of silent work, as sewing cir
cles generally do. 1t is like, and yet it is
unlike, the clatter of thousand machines
in a great factory, or myriad of looms,
and If one wishes to talk and be heard he
has to talk at the top Of his voice. But
this noise comes from the Geographic in
struments which are being operated by
some score of nimble wristed, nipble fin
gered men seated at tables syst ematically
arranged in rows and sections.
The stranger is apt to think that cleo
tricity is going crazy here. He is cert air
to wonder how on earth an operative dis
tinguishes the click of his instrument il
the general tumult. The tables arr
| generally divided into four sections
separated by thick glass partitions
and in each section is an in
strument, and at each instrument
there is an operator All the operator.
are working as fast as their hands ant
heads will let them. Some are receiving
messages and writing them on the tele
graphic forms, and others are sending
them. 1t would puzzle the novice t,
keep his wits in good order amid all thi
noise, but these men keep theirs in mos
admirable condition, and rarely make
slip. There's nothing like experience.
In this room there are twenty one quad
ruplex instruments, five duplex. on
printing instrument and five sets O
single repeaters." About 300 lines rui
into this room, and are connected wit
the massive switch board" which
about to be enlarged in order to take i
fifty wires more. Two hundred of thes
wires are what are called main wires, tn
rest are loops for the local lines. 1t
certainly mystery to the uninitiate
mind how all these wires are kept in Of
der, and how they are distinguished on
from the other. A look behind til
switch board is nothing less than confui
ing. The place is sort of dark close
and from sort of aperture in the roof
whole wilderness of wires is seen stras
Cling down. Which wire is which? Thl
is the conundrum. But those who's
business it is to know can answer yer
readily.-Boston Herald.

Syrup

Here is something from Mr.. Frank

House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men

and are not slow i'll sizing people
and things up for what they are

father and several brothers and SIS
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee S
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou-
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion Listen =" l

ELECTRICITY CURES

A Cancer of the Womb, Piles and a Tu-
NOR on the Face, All on One Patient.
Last week Mrs. Read Of Bradford came
to Peoria to DIR. Toel to be operated upon.
She was suffering from a cancer of the
womb, piles and tumor on the face
DR.. Toel removed the cancer without loss
of blood by means OF the galvano-caustic
battery, Immediately afterwards the piles
were removed in the same way, and then
the tumor on the face was destroyed by
means of the electrolytic battery. Mrs.
Read was able to return home again in
two weeks.-National Democrat
DR.. Toelis now located in Portland. The
cancer and piles, with hundreds of other
cancers and tumors successfully removed
by him, can be seen in his Office. DIR. Toel
has studied four years at the Universities
and large Hospitals of Germany, Swift
erland and England, and is the only sur
geon in the Northwest who operates by
electricity without loss of blood

A Tale from the North.

A tale comes from the far north, above
the Arctic circle, that mammoth carcasses
are found frozen in the ice, and that the
Indians chop them out and feed the meat
to their dogs These carcasses are as well
preserved as if killed but yesterday
although they have lain for who knows
how many thousand years in soldly
frozen state. Undoubtedly these animals
existed coeval with the glacial period and
were indigenous to a tropical climate
therefore we must reason that this period
came on almost instantaneously all liv
ing animals were killed by the extreme
cold and before their flesh could putrefy
it became frozen.-Juneau (Alaskal Free

MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
In musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
OF the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
50y Catarrh in the Head, and who
mas been perfectly cured by the
use OF Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
IONS, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
ltS use should be coupled with the
use OF DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

venture a guess that vegetation on that

ward our order, and your employees.
The matters OF which we thought We
