In reading over the literary items of
the week, 1 found not much to interest
me, until my eye caught sight OF an
article headed "Jenks' Dream" Imag-
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
q Recommendation to use DR.. Picrce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
a great sufferer from sick headache, 1
determined to try them, and, to my great
Joy, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size Of dose.
AS q pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as IN active, yet painless, cathartic.
Cause no gripping or sickness. Best

DEADLY OCCUPATIONS.
Men who Perform Work Which Results in
Their Death.

There are many trades which mean. sooner
or later, sure death to the workman. In
some cases death comes early; in others,
where the man Is working among cumula-
tive pOisons, it is lingering and painful in
the extrWme. But of all others the salt
cake. bleaching-powder and lime-house
men have death most surely staring them in
the face
The acid gas given off from the salt-cake
furnaces is very trying. aud flannel protec-
ton over the mouth is used to ward this off.
but in spite of it teeth and gums fall a vic
tim to the acid. Very frequently bits get
Nib ed by the action Of the acid out of
mems hands and arms. Some of the hands
have n corrugated look in consequence.
Lime is the principal ingredient out of
which bleaching powder is made. Before it
goes to the chlorine chambers, where il is
to absorb the gas, it is carefully treated and
reduced to 6ne powder. 1t Is sIfted and
beaten about and slaked, and the men who
have TO do this work have job which no
one need envy. Imagine working all day or
all night, as the case may be, in fine mist
of Incline particles flying about like
cloud Of mosquitoes, with far sharper bite,
too To protect themselves the men resort
TO muZZle or to piece of rag or flannel
held tightly between the teeth. Tho ex-
posed parts ofthe skin are carefully creased,
and sort of paper mask is frequently i'm
provised in addition to the caps which the
men wear. In spite of everything. how
ever, the lime gets In somewhere and
inflcts its bite. All the time the
work is carried on breathing is ter
rible effort. To breathe through the
nose would have the direst consequences.
A single inhalation and the lime particles
would lodge there. So the air has TO be in

York, before the construction of the Erie
Canal. sending their produce to markets in
arks down the Delaware and Susquehanna
rivers. Keel boats covered in, with cabins
for passengers, were called 'barges." Some
of these were 20 to 100 feet long and GO to 100
tons capacity. Steamboats, for crossing fer
ries OF S-horse power were in use from 1914
to 1924.
Early canal projects made slow Roadway.
The completion of the Erie Canal, however,
in 1925 and its success, both financially and
as great artery of commerce, stimulated
the construction Of similar enterprises
elsewhere, especially in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. But the first successful ap-
plication Of steam as a motor by
Robert Fulton In 1907. who made an initial
trip In the Clermont up the Hudson,
distance OF ITO miles in twenty-four
hours, practically revolutionized existing
methods of TRANSFORMATION and travel. The
first steamboat on Western waters, the En-
terprise. made its trial trip from Pttsburg
to New Orleans, and was subsequently, Gn
1910 wrecked near NatcheZ.

1880 to 1871 showed an Increase that more

mage of steamers in 1883 being about equally
divided between high pressure and low pres
sure engines. The former were almost eX-
clusively used in the Mississippi Valley.
while on the Atlantic coast the latter has
been generally adhered to. The speed. size
and strength of the Hudson River aud Long
Island steamers has been materially in
creased. The Albany, 1882, was 274 feet
long, 62 6 feet beam and registered 5SS tons.
The Massachusetts, traversing Long Island
Sound, was 202 feet long, 20 feet beam and
go tons.
Meanwhile tho vessels plying between At
lantic and foreign ports had also greatly in
creased in numbers and efficiency. An
American merchantmen of 1888 tons in 1871
was said to be the largest in the world. In
1850 vessels of 1000 tons were not uncommon.
The Republic. 1853 had a tonnage of 4555.
From 1910 to 1860 the finest sailing vessels
were built for ocean service. making re-
markably swift voyages between English
and Atlantic Seaports. and China, Australia
and Pacific coast points.

1t is quite common thing among the SOL

Of their favorites This fact doubtless sug-
gested to the clerks in II. II. Iammen's
curiosity store in Denver the idea of getting
up a fight between large aud lively taran-
tula and rattlesnake. Before the fight be-
gan the odds were ten to one in favor of the
snake, and there were few takers. The
proprietor was not in at the time, and the
clerks had closed the store for the night, so
there was not much probability of an inter-
Eupti0n. The big snake was driven into
one end of his cage and partition let down
to keep Linn safe, so that the tarantula could
be introduced. The little sIiding-door at the
other end, carefully protected by a closely
woven wirs screen, was raised and the Ia
rantula slipped into the compartment Then
