Makes the
Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like a stimulant
mparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow reaction OF greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood,
and, in short. gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.

CHRISTMAS.

The gladsome time of the Christmas holidays will soon be with us again. The boys and girls are already in a state of joyful anticipation of what old Santa Olaus will bring them, and to anyone who goes into our stores it iA evident that the genial old fellow will have no lack of varlety from which to select his presents. We have no doubt that all the juvenile readers of the NEWS have made themselves solid with Santa Clans and we wish them much joy in what he will put into their stockings or onto the Christmas trees.
 It is often said that we.as nation, have too few holidays and this is perhs ps true, and for this reason it is all themore gratifying that Christmas retains such hold on the popular heart.
 But Christmas is above all things, and ought to be, Christian festival, the commemoration of the fact that the Eternal Son of God, the Word, was made flesh and dwelt among us." dig nifying onr humanity and making it possible for men to be made partakers of the divine nature. In this age, when there is so much ipfidelity and mater lalism. it is we'll that year after year this great truth of the Christian religion should be 30 positively asserted.
 We most sincerely wish all our read CTS Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

English Women Willing to Work.

An English woman visiting here com ments upon the contrast between "the way gentlewomen get on," as she ex- pressed 1t, over here as against their failure to do so tat home." Said she: Shortly before sailed friend of mine advertised for a lady nurse, an office which does not, think, exist in Ameri- can households. She is not housekoeper, nor yet nursery governess, but looks after the employment of the children's nurses. is responsible for their .capabil- ity and the like; acts indeed in the mothers stead. She must be gentle woman, as part of her duty is to look aft GIT the children's manners.
 "To her advertisement my friend told me that ninety applicants answered. They were for the most part the widows or daughters of army officers and clergy men, and so eager were some of them for employment that they offered to come for three months without other recom- pense than the home offered them. My friend, who is tender hearted woman, was positively made i'll by the expert ence. It seemed pitiful that one journal should have clientele of ninety well born women who were in distressed and Asstatuts condition. ."-Nsw Yerk Timss.

A HARD RULE.

She that was Housatonic Railroad now refuses to carry passengers on her freight trains. This is all right in the- ory, but all wrong in practice so far as passengers to and from Canaan are con- cerned. "There is no rule without ex- captions" and in this case we think an exception should be made in favor of Canaan. Here are our reasons, viz by the present schedule of passenger trains it is impossible for a person to go from any point south of Canaan to any point east of Canaan and return the same day. It is also impossible to go from any point east of Canaan to any point south of Canaan and return the same day. The disconnections at Canaan are legion while there is only one connection that is reasonably sure, viz , at B a. m., at which time a train arr1ves from Pitts field, connects with the $40 a. m. P. & R. train to Hartford, and then. returns at g 40 8. m. to Pittsfeld.
 Neither the Philadelphia & Reading road, nor the Housatonlc road now car ry passengers on their freight trans
 We do not suppose tbat anyone except in case of life or dsath would wish to ride in those 'henl lcoops on wheels" at- tached to freight trains on the P. & R. road and run the risk of the rear loco motive crushing the "hen-coop" like an egg. shell, but we do think that many passengers would gladly avail them selves of the privilege, were it granted, of riding in the coaches attached to freight trains on the Housatonic road.
 They have gladly accepted that priyi- lege in the past. and they deem 1t an nrcalled for and unreasonable hard ship to now be denied it.
 So far as train connections at Canaan are concerned the travelling public now find themselves between the upper and neither milestone. A zealous admirer of Canaan as place of residence says
 he has no sympathy for the travelling public; it has no business to live ont side of Canaan. He also says Chicago
 is lively place but it has one great draw back or dlsadvantage-it is over l 1000 miles from Canaan.

It remains to be seen whether the Reading combine or the Consolidated road have captured the Connecticut River road, or whether the Connecticut River road has captured itself. "Yos cannot keep your cake and eat it too" is an old saying but just at present it looks as if the Connecticut River road had proved the fallacy of that saying. If the Reading finally gets the 0. R. road you need not be surprised to see the gap closed from Canaan through Mill River to Westfield, thus avoiding the great expense of scaling Spaulding's $ Summit with heavy freight trains.

Why Soldier. Do Not Touch Elbows.

Why Soldiers Do Not Touch E1bows-
 For year military men have been speculating on why in the new drill regulations the soldiers do not stand elbow to elbow, as they always have in accordance with the tactics previously in use. I met Colonel Camp. of the Twenty-second regiment, and in the course of a conversation on the subject he said:
 My idea of the object of the intervals which have been adopted in the new regulations is to make each man feel his individuality more. Under this new sys- tenn each soldier has to depend entirely on himself. In the old tactics he was squeezed up by his comrades on each side. If there was anything the matter with him, if he didn't know what to do. or if his courage failed, his comrades would almost carry him along and quite likely get him through all right. A line of soldiers might have been really very weak and still appear strong. It was de- septive. Now command shows for itself. The rather prevalent idea that the interval was adopted so as to give bullets chance to pass between the men is of course nonsensical when you think of the subject seriously. The interval is only few inches wide, and bullet would have to do good deal of scurry- mg around to get through without hit ting somebody.-NewY York Herald.

THE READINGS LAST MOVE.

By vote of it's directors in Springfield the Connecticut River road was leased Dec 18th for period of ninety-n mine years to the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad with promise Of 10 per cent dividends. A meeting of the stockholders to ratify the contract was called for Dec 23i and the compliance of the shareholders, ~ho had not yet been consulted in the deal was antici- pated. But the rival Boston and Maine Reading system wanted the Connec- ticut River road and last Thursday night they sent agents to Springfield, Holyoke, Chicopee, Northampton, Greenfield and Boston and bought sufficient stock to obtain control of the road. The stock was quoted about 250 per share but the B. M. & R. agents paid 3I2 and 3l5 to secure controlling interest. A special meeting of Connec- ticut River directors was held on Mon day to consider what means could be adopted to frustrate the check mating game of the Boston & Maine ne-Reading people but the latest reports are to the effect that nothing can be done. Of course the feelings of the old stockhol- ders, who were anticipating 10 instead of 8 per cent dividends on their stock. , can be more easily imagined than de- scribed. As an exchange remarks, if they are not mad they must be queer people.

m. ..K.er," Frixhten.d Him.

Fred T. Merrill, a bicycle dealer of the Pacific coast, arrived here from Port land, Or, and was seen at the Great Northern. He came with his wife by the Union Pacific and relates singular incident which occurred on the way. AS the train was entering the station at Welser, Ida, an old man. white haired, was seen running wildly away from the platform. Some thought he was crazy, but when brought back by friends it was found that he was perfectly sane, but frightened at the appearance of the train, as this was the first time he had ever seen locomotive. He was seventy seven years old and had lived for the last thirteen years in Ruthburg, Ida, a mining camp forty-eight miles from g railroad. During all those years he had never left the camp, but had continu- ously remained on his claim, thinking it was valuable and he would eventually ''strike it rich" Becoming too old and feeble to work, he had yielded to the solicitations of relatives in Pittsburg and Alleghany City and was on his way to Pennsylvania.
 His name is Martin McCandless. In 1851 he emigrated from an interior town in Missouri, journeyed in 8 caravan of twenty-one ox teams across the plains through Utah and into the mining dis tricts of California, thence into Nevada few years later, and eventually to his recent home in Idaho. He proved to be man of more than ordinary intelligence and gave MT. Merrill many reminis- cences of early life in the mines, having been acquainted with many pioneers who are now millionaires on the Pacific coast.
 The old man was finally persuaded to take seat on the train and passed through here bound for the Keystone State. He would seldom leave the car for fear he could not get on again. His exclamations of delight and his astonish- ment at the speed of the train served as continual sources of amusement to the ether passengers. His elder brother, Abraham McCandless, is merchant in Butler, Pa., where another brother, Alex ander A., also lives.
 The old miner said he had 6, 900 in- side the lining of his vest, which he had received for one-third interest in his mine, but he was not going to tell any one about it for fear he might be robbed. Chicago Tribune.
