To Help Laborinr Men.

To overcome the serious results that
are experienced upon coming from pro-
tracted labor under compressed air, a
waiting chamber, where one can rest
and have the change of pressure take
place gradually, has been used of late,
and it has been found that some diseases
incident to such work are prevented and
some cases cured. The time for resting
varies from five to twenty minutes

Here is something from Mr.. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow i'll sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
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! II
use nothing but Boschee's German

sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup

Hawthorno,s Old Homo.

The ancient fireplaces in the old house
in which Hawthorne was born on Union
street, in Salem, Mass, have been re-
opened after having been closed for
many years. The old staples for the
iron on which swung the kettle
are still in position. In the fireplace in
the o in which the romancer was
born there was found an ancient iron
shelf on which were several oldfashioned
buckshot and rifle balls, just as they
had been run in the molds. There was
also an old time iron firedog, muchworn.

great many western men say that the
selection of Chicago was victory for
Hill. 1t is certain at any rate, that
the Hill influence secured the selection
OF Chicago, while the Cleveland ele-
ment was opposed to il.
Thomas Taggart, of the lndianapo-
lis delegation, said he thought that
Chicago should have made a square
and open fight to have avoided any
suspicion of treachery and its conse-
quent ill-feeling. Indiana was for
Gray for president, and SO cared little
whether Hill or Cleveland led in New
York. Naturally, however, the selec-
tion OF Chicago would be regarded Us
Hill victory over Cleveland in the
national committee.
Chairman Campbell, of the Minneso-
Ia democratic state committee, said
that St. Paul was disappointed, but
'tBless yOu," said he. "it will not
have the least result on the election.
We will be for the party first and the
candidate afterwards. | have heard
a great deal of talk about treachery
but it won't have any effect on the
party in the elections. 1t is generally
believed, think, by men from The
northwest that the selection of Chicago
was due to the influence of Hill, Bric'
and German. l have heard it sait
that the result is a victory for Hill a
against Cleveland in the National com
mittee, but whoever the candidate ma,
be | believe the party will elect him.

Better Common Roads.

Civilized nations have good roads
savage and menlightened countries do
not. The highways of travel are q
guage of the progress people have
made from barbarism to civilization.
How are your roads?
The price at which Il farm will sell
for is regulated by its nearness to
market and the quality of its neighbor-
ing roads. TO increase the selling
price of your farm, work for good
roads.
Good roads in his township will ben
eft the farmer more than he ever
dreams of.
On an average, the farm products of
this country must be hauled by wagon
eight miles TO market There is more
room for saving in this wagon haul of
eight miles than in q railroad haul of
200 miles. The railroads of the
country charge only eight-tenths of a
cent for hauling a ton a mile.
There is abundant evidence that if
the average earth highway were made
into n good gravel road, the same
horsepower could draw four times as
great Il load as now.
On Il good road grade of only nine
feet to the 100 doubles the draft. How
much would it save you per year if the
top of that hill were shayen off and
the earth were put in the hollow?
Now is the time to agitate for good
roads. Take off your coat, roll up your
sleeves and wade in, determined to
wake up your neighbars until they, too,
will not longer endure the strips of
mud that are now called highways. The
first step in good roadmaking is to
awaken lively public interest. We
must stir up general appreciation of
good roads. Talk, read, give facts.
Best of all, get u stretch of good gray
eled road for an object lesson. The
first graveled road should be that near
est the village; there most will use T.
Always begin at the village and work
out.
In order to obtain any reform-good
highways, fewer dogs, better schools,
more economical county government,
or the establishment of farmers insti-
tutes in place of corner grocery slander-
matches-it is necessary first to over
come what may well be termed public
inertia. Some people suppose that
this indispositon TO move, this content
ment to rest on the present ground,
this mental and moral inertia, is simply
negative; if not capable of any good, at
least incapable of any harm. This is a
mistaken notion. Nothing is more
deadly; nothing has greater capacity
for harm. 1t is the ever present and
ever active foe to progress; il holds
mankind in ruts; it holds them still
while abuses pile upon them and crush
them; it is the opportunity of thieves
and tyrants. The intelligent, progress
i've man must always contend against
this public inertia. Enthusiasm is the
only successful weapon to use. Thank
God for the intelligently enthusiastic
person! 1t is he that keeps the world
moving, that pushes mankind on to Il
higher ground.
For u starter, here is recipe that
will make and maintain II fairly good
road ut all times; ot almost any ma
tcrial excepting Iuicksand or prairie
mud. First grade it so perfectly that
no water can remain on the surface.
Second, pike the bad places.

PLATTsBURG, N. Y, January 20.-In
your issue of the 18th n correspondent
signing himself "One of the People"
asserts that "not Cleyeland's unpopu-
larity but the prostitution of the ballot
caused his defeat in 1888" Now, what
are the facts? In The World almanac
of 1892 will be found the following:
New York IN 1884 gave Cleveland
I,047 plurality; in 1888 he lost it by
13,0O2. Connecticut in 1884 gave
Cleveland plurality 1926; in 1888
only 336. Virginia in 1884 gave the
national ticket 1904 plurality; in
1888 q bare 1889. West Virginia
dropped from safe 4 ,221 in 1884 to a
narrow margin of SOC in 1888. Mary
land even was reduced from 1,1S2.
Indiana was lost by plurality of p
34S for Harrison. Illinois, Arkansas
and Alabama elected governors in 1888.
How did the ''popular'' candidate fare
in these statesp
Illinois gave Gen. Palmer total vote
of 356, ,313; Cleveland receiving 34S,-
27S, ran behind the state ticket 7,035.
Arkansas gave the democratic state
ticket 80, ,229, and the national So, 1862.
Here Cleveland ran behind 13,267.
Alabama gave her democratic governor
Il plurality of Ill., ,203, and Cleveland
81, ,123. Here the popular" candidate
marched in the rear to the tune of go
080!
A great corruption fund defeated the
democracy in Indiana. But what caused
the falling off in the vote throughout
the democratic states? The ssprostitu-
ton of the ballot was not so wide
spread as to pervade even the "solid
south" No; that was not the reason.
1t was Cleveland's unpopularity and
untimely forcing of the tariff issue that
cut down democratic majorities and
made it possible for corruption fund
to defeat the party.
If zone of the People" will consult
the back numbers of The World he will
discover in several editorials the state,
ment that "Cleveland's personal un.
popularity among certain classes con.
tributed largely to his defeat in 1888
And the facts and figures sustain the
assertion.
Mr., Cleveland showed himself il
1888 an unpopular and weak candidate
What popularity he has to-day is mostly
i'm republican sections where IN presi
dental year democratic votes are impo
tent. Judging by the past it is at vita
points, rs New York, Connecticut, West
Virginia, etc, that Cleveland is the
weakest. The democracy cannot afford
TO take any risks. The candidate should
be one who has demonstrated beyond
question his strength at pivotal points
1t is this well-founded doubt that
makes Cleveland's denomination unwist
and impolitiC.

ASHES ON THE SLIDE.
BY EUGENE FIELD.

When Jim and Bill and were boys many
How gayly did we use to hail the coming
of the snow!
Our sleds, fresh painted red and with their
runners round and bright,
Seemed to respond right briskly To our
clamor of delight,
AS we dragged them up the slippery road
that climbed the rugged hill,
Where perched the old frame meetin' house
so solemn like and still.
All, coasting in those days-those good
old days-was fun indeed!
Sleds at that time, I'd have you know, were
paragOns of speed!
And ii the hill got bare in spots, as hills
will do, why, then
We'd haul on ice and snow TO patch those
bald spots up again;
But, OH with what sad certainty our
spirits would subsde,
When Deacon Frisbee sprinkled ashes
where we use to slide!
The deacon he would roll his eyes and
| gnash his toothless gums
| And clear his skinny throat and twirl his
sanity, bony thumbs
And tell you: "When / wuZ a boy, they
taught me to eschew
The goddess, ribald vanities which modern
youth pursue!
The pathway that leads down to hell is
slippery, straight and wide,
And Satan turks for prey where little boys
are wont to slide!"
Now, he who ever in his life has been a
little boy
Will not reprove me when he hears the
language l employ
To stigmatize as wickedness the deacon's
Jealous spite
In interfering with the play wherein we
| found delight.
And so say, with confidence, not unal-
loyed Of pride:
"Gol durn the man who sprinkles ashes
where the youngsters slide"
But Deacon Frsbee long ago went to hi:
lasting rest,
His money well invested in farm mortgages
out west;
Bill, Jim and /, no longer boys, have learn
ed through years OF strife
That the troubles of the little boy pursue
J the man through life,
That here and there along the cour5
wherein we hoped to glide
Some envious hand has sprinkled ashe
, just to spoil our slide!
And that malicious, envious hand is no
the deacon's now,
Grim, ruthless Fate! that evil sprite non
| other is than thou!
\ Riches and honors, peace and care com
at thy beck and go.
The soul, elate with Joy to-day, to- -morroN
. writhes in woe!
And till man has turned his face unit
the wall and died
He must expect to get his share of ashe
on his slide!

THE PARTY FIRST

A newspaper in Ohio recently
brought suit against forty-three men
who would not pay their subscriptions,
and obtained judgment in each case
for the amount of each claim. OF
these twenty-eight made affidavit that
they owned no more than the law
allowed, thus preventing attachment.
Then under the decision of the supreme
court they were arrested for petit
larceny and bound over in the sum OF
$500 each. All but six gave bond,
which six went to Jail. The new postal
law makes it larceny to take paper
and refuse to pay for it.-Toledo

A Sensible View of If

1t is we'll for the politicians of the
Curtis school to learn the important
truth, that the democracy is not Il one
man party any more than it is a party
with Il single idea. 1t has other leaders
equal in ability and character to Mr..
Cleveland. The contest for the presi-
dental nomination is closed to no de-
serving entry, The best man is likely
to win, and, whether he be Cleveland,
Hill, Palmer or Boies, he will, as the
Ledger believes, be elected, even if the
mugwumpsl should decline to support
hun and flock by themselves.
