A Conduit Electric Railway.

A conduit railway system has been de-
ted to the car by induction. 1t requires no
overhead wires, storage batteries or sur
face or underground conduits, the ar
rangement of the transformers being such
that the primary circuit is underneath
the roadbed, while the secondary is car
ried on the car, so that there is no metal
lie connection between the car and the
main circuit from which the current is
derived.-New York World.

That when excursion rates are made to
Chicago for people who live in the East,
to enable them to attend the Worlds
Fair next year, it is contemplated by
the Western roads to also make excur-
sion rates from Chicago to all principal
business and tourist points in the West,
Northwest and Southwest, SO that those
who desire to spend few weeks among
their friends i'm the Great West, may
have an opportunity of so doing with
out mourning much additional expense.
1t may be well to consider this subject
in advance of actual time of starting,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee IL st.

An honest Swpdp tells his story

An honest Swede tells his story in
plain but unmstakable language for
the benefit of the public. "One of my
children took severe cold and got the
Group. / gave her teaspOonful of
Chamberlin's Cough Remedy, and in
five minutes later gave her one more.
BY this time she had to cough up the
gathering in her throat. Then she went
to sleep and slept good for fifteen min
utes. Then she got up and vOmited;
then she went back to bed and slept
good for the remainder of the night.
She got the Group the second night and
| gave her the same remedy with the
same good results. l write this because
thought there might be some one in
the same need and not know the true
merits of this wonderful medicine"

Good the Earthworm Does.

portant part in the economy of nature"
said Professor Ernest Parker, of Nash
vile. 1.-THE little creature is the worst
despised of all animal life, but from dis
coveries of my own, after long and pa
tient investigation, he has gained my
respect, and l want to extend to him
assurances of my most distinguished
consideration. | have found out that
but for the earthworm's indefatigable
toll very little of vegetation would grow
except by irrigation. He is the greatest
producer of moisture and heat in the
world.
"He does more than the plowshare to
disturb the latent heat and moisture of
the earth and bring them to the top soil
to vitalize aud invigorate the struggling
roots of the grasses, grains and other
forms of vegetation. But for him great
stretches of the western agricultural
lands would become vast deserts. There

luck to the man who thinks he is fit only
for fish bait!'-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

violent pains one day early in January and
DR.. Putnam was called in. The symptoms
were those of acute gastritis and he prescribed

rary relief The attacks were frequent and
caused cxcruciating agony. She could take no
solid food and steadily grew weaker and lost
flesh until she was reduced to skeleton.
After few weeks she declared that tho
pain seemed to be moving upward. The
physician could not understand the change
and almost abandoned hope of saving his pa
ticnt.
4 severe attack of vomiting seized the
woman few days ago and almost stlanglcd
her. as something stuck in her throat. She
succeeded in dslodg;ng and cxpelling it, and
WIS astonislled to find that the cause of her
long suffering was IN eel. 1t was fully nine
inches long. DR.. Putnam said Sunday even
ing that she had undoubtedly swallowed the
eel while drinking. 1t was so small then She
had not noticed it.
Mrs Pembet rapidly recovered after get
ting rid of the eel, and yesterday left Jersey
