More serious sickness is produced by
allowing the bowels to remain in a tor
pid or partially constipated condition
than from any other cause. In many
instances diseases are produced from
which people never wholly recover.
Dyspepsia, piles and nervous disorders
are three of the most common and most
serious. They are caused by neglect
ing the bowels, and can be prevented
by an occasional dose of St. Patrick's
pills, which always produce a pleasant

A CURIOUS MONOPOLY.
Strange Things That Occur on a Little
Schoharie County Railroad.

Strange Things That Occur on a Little
schoharie County Railroad.
Schoharie County has the distinc-
ton Of having within its boundaries
one of the shortest, If not the short
! est, railroads in New York. There
is nothing remarkable about the road
being short, but there is something
really funny in the manner in which
the road is run, IL the following state
ments In the Albany Argus are true:
In the first place the road, which
runs from Schoharie Junction, on the
Delaware and Hudson Railroad, to
Middleburg, is but eleven miles long.
The road from the junction TO Scho-
harie is owned by several brothers
named Nrooman, and from Schoharie
to Middleburg by stock company
headed by George n. Frisbee as presi-
dent Every year the Nrooman
| brothers hold meeting and bid for
the lease of their portion of the road
for the ensuing year. This year
Cornelius Nrooman has charge of the
road. He took possession April 5
last, and is showing the people of
Schoharie valley an example of a
model railroad man.
Mr.. Vrooman not only manages the
road, but he sells tickets at the
Schoharie station and acts as conduc-
tor on the train between Schoharie
and the junction.
The rolling stock of this remarka.
BILE railroad consists Of one locomo-
tive aud two combination passenger
and baggage cars. The road employs
one engineer, one fireman, one bag
gageman, and one tranman.
No track gang is employed, and il
repairs are needed TO the roadbed a
farm hand is placed to wGrk by the
| day
The revenue from the railroad at
| present will not cause its owners to
build castles, hut in the near future
! their hard work and expenditure Of
| money In operating road for the
convenience Of the residents of Scho-
| harie and Middleburg will be re-
warded But these places are grow
| ing, and in a few years will have so
advanced in population that the
present road will be unable to accom-
modate its patrons This will then
| lead to reconstruction of the road,
which will, of course, help those who
have labored so hard for the success
Of the old road.
An amusing incident occurred on
the train going from Schoharie juno
tion to Schoharie one morning re-
Gently. There were several Albanians
aboard who were going to the Scho-
harie County fair, Among them was
a well-known real estate man. who
had been Kidding" the conductor
about the frequent stops made by she
train to pick up passengers. AT a
| small grove the train halted, and the
real estate man, addressing the con-
ductor, said: "Well, what are we
stopping here for?"
The conductor turned to his tor
mentor and without the sign of a
smile replied: "You see that bush
over there? Well, directly under
that is hens nest The engineer
saw the hen go on the nest, and he
has stopped to wait for the egg" The
passengers burst into laughter and
the joking real estate man felt lik q

ApropOs Of the ability Of the Fair
to please every one, Richard Hard
ing Davis writes in Harper's Weekly:
"One young woman begged me not to
miss knight made entirely OF
prunes; another though the best thing
she had seen was q man who, during
the Illumination, walked a tight-rope,
with fire works attached to his feet
and hands. A man | know spent the
greater part Of his time casting a fly
line for prize, and another in study
ing his interior anatomy in the An
thropOlogiCal Building. I'll bet you
don't know how your liver works, he
said 10 me; come with me and I'll
show you. It's the most interesting
exhibit in the place Some Of the
stories Of the Fair, whether true or
not, are worth preserving one,
for instance, Of the girl who asked
a Columbian Guard what was the
meaning of the painting titled La
Cigale, and which shows a young
woman very thinly clad and SILVER
ing in the winters blast. The
guard referred to the catalogue
and said, promptly: La Cigale;
it's comic opera, and that's Lillian
Russell. Or that Of the woman
who approached a gentleman lean
ng over the embankment above
the basin and asked him where she
could see the lagoons The gentle
man pointed with his stick at the
water and the woman peered anx.
iously over the railing, but on find
ing nothing there but water turned
to him with toss OF her head, and
said, scornfully: You think you're
mighty smart, don't you?'"

The Tuue america"

The remarks sent TO us by a. G,
about the tune of oar national hymn,
America, are satisfactory. The tune
was not English originally, though the
English use it for their royal anthem.
1t was used 10y the Germans long be-
fore it was taken up by the English,
and we are assured by musical ex-
plorer that the Germans got it from
the Norsemen, who had probably heard
it sung 10y the Firms, who most likely
captured it from the Huns, who doubt
less brought it from Asia when they
entered Europe. We told in the Sun
long ago OF our attempt to trace this very
old tune through the ages, from country
to country and TO its birthplace. We
found that it had been known to vari.
Gus races, and we found it rs far back
as we could go. Il, or something like
1t, was perhaps sung by the Jews in
the first temple, and they may have
borrowed it from the Egyptians. 1t is
Of a solemn and majestic strain, suit
able to some Of the Psalms Of David.
1t is certain that the English did not
invent or cOncOct the tune to which
they sing the words of God Save the
Queen. and to which we sing the
words of America We need not be
ashamed to use the tune because il ex-
listed in other countries before we
adopted it, or was used by generations
that lived before Columbus discovered
America, or was known to musician
before the time of st. Ambrose. II is
a noble tune New York Sun.

Brave and Ready.

Some years ago company Of geolo-
gists were examining some rocks be-
tween Aberystwith and Llanrhystyd,
in Wales, and were making their way
along narrow ledge of projecting
rock, on the face Of cliff, about a
hundred and twenty feet above the
level Of the sea.
AS they rounded a projecting angle
the rock on which the last man stood
gave way. He was whirled around,
with his face to the sea, but with in
slant presence Of mind grasped the
ledge at his side with one hand, and
extended the other to the man in adj
vance, who happened to be his uncle
The latter grasped it, and thus
held him suspended for fully five
minutes, having only six inches of
standing ground. This was a breath
less pause, during which the uncle
gazed upon a rock, some ninety feet
below, on which the young man was
doomed TO be dashed.

feet calmness, "there is but one way
for It, I'll save you, or we will die
together. Loose your hold of the
rock. "

Then the uncle sprang into the air,
and with such force that the two
turned several somcrsaults, still
linked together. They struck the

and slowly and painfully regalned the

Big Foot Ball Game,
Special to the News.

Special to the News
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Tomorrow
one of the biggest foot ball games
OF me season will be played on the
south side grounds, the contestants
being the teams Of the Chicago and
Boston Athletic Clubs. Both of
these elevens, and especially the
former, have earned place in the
first rank of players on the grid iron
field Boston is the only club, out
side of Yale, that has scored against
Harvard, and the Chicago boys have
defeated with apparent ease the
strongest teams they have yet en-
countered. 1t is generally conced-
ed, however, that the Boston club
has made the best showing so far,
but as this is the first time during
the present season that the Chicago
team has encountered one of the
craok.eastern organic atoms it yet
remains to be seen what they can
do. The arrangements at the
grounds are perfect, TIE entire field
being surrounded by boxes, grand
stands, carriage stalls, and standing
room. 1t is estimated that not less
than twenty-five thousand people
will turn out for the event, and the
display of fashionable equipages
will be second only to that of Derby
Day.
