The tendency of this disease to-
ward pneumonia is what makes it
dangerous, La Grippe requires pre-
cisely the same treatment as severe
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is famous for its cures of severe colds.
This remedy effectually counteracts
the tendency of the disease to result
in pneumonia, provided that proper
care be taken to avoid exposure when
recovering from the attack. Careful
inquiry among the many thousands
who have used this remedy during
the epidemics Of the past two years
has failed to discover a single case
that has not recovered or that has re-
suited in pneumonia. 25 cent, 80 cent,

THAT THIRD PATTY CIRCULAR.

Where is it? Why have the ga.
pers stopped telling the people about
1t. Several weeks ago The partisan
press of this State raised hue and
cry that startled many innocent con-
filing souls, and that highly gratifi-
ed those who are always hunting for
care-crows and bug-bears. Oh, how
the papers and the politici ms did
howl. What was it all about? They
said that circular pledging men to
vote the Third Party ticket was be-
ing circulated by the Alliance. Some
declared that they had actually seen
the terrible document. We simply
sat still and let them rage. Some
papers devoted as much as six col
umns of its space to the calamity.
In fact the partisan press become
first class calamity howlers." Well,
we proceeded to investigate the mat
ter, and soon learDed that the whole
thing was pure fabrication. In
the meantime the aforesaid papers
n I'd hushed up but they had not cor
rected the matter. We then chal.
lenged them to publish the circular,
or to give the name of a single man
who had signed it, or even who had
seen it. This brought our short de-
mails covering only a few lines and
not put in very conspicuous part
OF this column Is this toting fair ?
1t would have been hard to have
made the truth overtake the lie, if
they had devoted as much space in
correcting us in advertising the lie.
1t is best to tote fair. This kind of
journalism will not pay in the long
run.

When asked by a reporter of the
State Chronicle, what was his answer
to the Chronicles question "what
made the farmer poorer" Mr..
Marion Butler, President Of the
State Farmers Alliance, said: "You
say that the farmer was prosperous
when he had no market in which
to buy or sell. He gets market in
which to buy and sell and he gets
poorer. Then steam and electricity,
which bring him in close contact
with his distant neighbor and enable
them to exchange produce and labor
with each other is curse, in short
that the blessings Of progress and
the Announcements of civilization
are curse. And that is an absur
dity. That is, such things could
not be under natural and just con-
ditions which would give free and
equal opportunities to all alike. If
the farmer could exchange his pro-
ducts for an equal amount of labor
in products with his Co labOrer in
industry he could not be hurt by a
market. but it would be blessing
But these transactions cannot be
made directly but must now be done
through the medium, money. And

STAMPS FOR MONEY.

Hon. s. B. Alexander has intro
duced a bill in Congress which is
meeting with universal favor. It
authorizes the government to issue
stamps Of denominations from five
cents TO three dollars, to be on safe
at every postoffice, and to be redeem
able in money at any postoffice in the
Uni ed States. By this persons are
enabled t. safely send small amounts
OF money through the mails at no
expense and trouble. 1t will be a
great convenience to everybody, and
especially to newspapers and sub
scribers. These stamps will do away
with the ordinary postage stamps,
which are now used for small
amounts, and which are troublesome
and which are not redeemahle in
money.

Lamber viii, Heavy Knife
4 new humber cutting machine has
been tried at the work; IT Il lumber
cutting company ~ c. upoint. l. /.
The experiment was highly success
full. The machine, E.p.a which DR..
Bradley and Thomas :; Crane. of
Newark, have been woraiag for the
past five years X - f,,et long. IS feet
wide and feet h;gh. lis weight il
forty five tons, 4no object OF the
invention, which may largely do
away with the use OF buzz saws,
is TO economic time and lun.
Der itself The machine will take
log eight feet long and cut
boards from it al the rate of forty u
minute of any width from l-32 of an
inch to one inch in thickness. There
is not the slightest waste of material
in the cutting. 1t is calculated that
when saws are used one-fourth of
the wood is wasted in sawdust and
planning il inch boards are being cut.
In saving boards Lie of an inch in
thickness the loss is 215 per cent Of
the boards turned out.
The knife is three feet long and
weighs 500 pounds. 1t works with a
draw motion, a sort of combination
of knife and saw, which prevents the
tiberS of the wood from breaking.
The roller preceding the knife com
presses the wood and aids in this
matter, which the inventors found
was the most difficult of the ends to
be attained. The knife is moved by
a wooden connecting rod, fastened to
a wheel ten feet in diameter. Every
revolution of this wheel makes a
board.
The machine is fed by an apparatus
which is controlled by two screws
set in Rabbit metal. A chain gear
connects the two screws, so that they
move with absolute accuracy, thus
making the boards exactly the same
width from one end to the other. A
system of cogs is SO arranged that by
changing the size of the cog wheel
the width of the board to be cut is
regulated. The total output Of the
machine when in running order will
be from so, 900 to 100000 feet day.
The new invention, it is said, will
revolutionize the making of boards
for cigar boxes, backs of pictures,
butter boxes and the like. Ash,
cherry, birch and Eastwood logs can
be cut. The boards drop from the
blade as smooth as if rubbed with
sandpaper.

their reward has come. The machine

Where to Preach Simplicity,

1t is quite philosophical to advocate
plain habits of living, plain clothes and
simple desires as productive of the
greatest satisfaction in life, but to a
man born when this century was about
to reach the half mile post; to a man
who has lived In this country all his
life; In brief, to an American of today.
the argument is good deal of a bore.
One day among the shop windows of
any city in the United States, or an
hour amid the noise and jingle of any
busy street in any city between the
two oceans, will convince any fair
minded man that the place to preach
the simple, humble doctrine is away
out on some prairie, or in the midst of
some grand old forest, where nature
has the best end of things.-Detroit

Loving Mother In Training q Child.
Margaret Paget was a young girl of
no especial mental force, nor, on the
other hand, of any decided stupidity,
who was blessed, if one may so regard
| 1t in this case, with mother Of excep-
tiond ability The mother had written
many brilliant literary papers.
Margaret's father was dead When
the child went to school her mother be-
gan to perform her tasks for her As
the time went by, therefore, the girl be
came more and more dependent ueon
her mother Through the failure to
develop her own powers she seemed IL
be able to do nothing on her own &c
count
All this of course left Margaret very
lily grounded in all her studies, and re-
fiected upon her standing in her ex-
aminations, so that she made slow
progress At last the mother ashamed
to see her lag behind, took her out of
school and made a weak pretense of in
structing her at home.
Margaret was pretty and amiable,
and when she had become eighteen
years old her hand was asked in mar
rage by a worthy young man
The mother gave a conditional con-
sent, and, az the young man lived at
some distance, a correspondence was
begun, of course under the eye of the
mother.
1t was then that the mother realized
how defective her daughters educa-
ton had been. She was unable to
write creditable letter. Her mes
sages, as she showed them to her moth
er, were i'll thought, i'll expressed, even
i'll spelled
''This will never do" said the moth
er. She began to write her daughters
responses to the letters of the young
man to whom she was betrothed Her
own wit and felicity of expression char
acterized them, and the young man
was charmed. Once embarked upon
such g. course of deceit, the mother
dared not make a confession. The
young man himself was an excellent
writer, and bis letters spurred the
mother to her most brilliant efforts as
correspondent.
After this charming correspondence
the young people were married. Neither
the mother nor the daughter dared con-
fess the fraud. Neither had meant
much" at the beginning, but both had
gone very deep into a course of decep-
ton.
The young husband was soon aston
shed to find that his wife was an igno-
rant person, incapable of writing even
a sensible letter. He questioned her
sharply and she confessed her fault
Mamma always does things for me-"
she said helplessly.
The husband found bis wife also in
capable of caring for household She
presently sent for her mother to come
and live with her, though the husband,
having had SO forcible lesson as to
her deceitfulness, could only regard her
with suspicion and dislike.
The marriage was an unhappy one
The whole lives of two young people
had been utterly spoiled by this tend
ency on the part of a mother to spare
her child unpleasant tasks and deprive
her of the nourishing, inspiring wear
and tear Of self help.-Youth's Com
