any more, although there is good money
in it.
General Manager Holdrege, General
Passenger Agent Francis, General Fl
nancial Agent Miller, and G. B. Harris
of Chicago, have returned from tour Of
inspection of the Burlington and its
branches throughout the west. The trip
extended over a period of three weeks
and included an examination of the
rolling stock and track facilities and an
inspection of the passenger and freight
traffic reports. In speaking of the trip,
Mr.. Holdrege said: "It was purely bus
mess trip and nothing occurred worthy
of mention at this time. Railroad bust
ness in the west is like it is everywhere
else, dull and dead. The midwinter ex-
position will, no doubt, stimulate the
passenger traffic to some extent, but the
indications are not very bright in that
direction. We found the Burlington in
its accustomed condition. We returned
by the way of Texas, stopping at Gal
weston and other points, and had very
ENJOYABLE time"

The surgeons have managed to replace
the bone amputated from the jaw in
certain operations with a finely construct
ed device of metal that makes the Jaw as
good as ever for masticating purpose.
This will be good news to persons who
suffer from cancer on the jaw, which can
only be removed by taking the bone away
with it. The old method was to hold the
remaining part of the jaw in place with a
strap. The new device works with a
spring and the patient suffers neither in
convenience nor Disagreement.

WHIST CLUBS AND PRIZES.

Dr.Rexford at the Roxbury Univers-
alist church recently created sensa-
ton in his congregation by calling at
tention to the wide practice now in
dulged in by the ladies of playing
whist where prizes are awarded. He
said he did not believe that any wife
or mother should be willing to bring
home s'first prize" from the whist
club unless she is willing to have her
husband and son bring home money
won at the gambling tables. The sue
cessful wife or mother brings home
the silver card case, the vase, or
delicate cup and saucer and exhibits
them at the tea table with much de-
light. The next evening Harry comes
to the same table and exhibits silver
dollar or a fve-dollar gold piece, and
his mother asks him where he obtain
ed it and he replies: ooh, a company
of my chums played whist last night
at TOMS and [ won IT'D [ think the
father and mother would exchange
some panied glances at this recital.
But suppose the mother takes her son
to task for his conduct and meets this
response: "Wel, you won the silver
case, the cup, the vase, and suppose
we put them with my dollar aud bal
ance the account" What has the
mother to say? The boy wins money
direct while the mother wins what
costs money. In either case value
is won without returning an equiva-
lent, and this is hazardous approach
to gambling. When women are will
ing to see their sons gambling they
may engage in it, but I am certain
that no thoughtful woman will win an
the "whist club" / do not believe
that women, who are good women and
Christian women, have bestowed the
thought on this matter which its seri
business involves, and I would be glad
to know that the clubs existing among
the ladies of this congregation had
abolished the prize feature, and that
ladies belonging to clubs which will
not reject the prizes had withdrawn
from them. A woman who can find
no interest in the game without the
prize is precisely the woman who
should not play, and it is social GER
tainty that a woman of this type can
add no quality to the club. There are
hundreds of ladies in this city who
would scorn the idea of sitting down
and playing cards with a habitual gam
bier, but where will you draw the line
between gambling for money direct
and gambling for prizes which only
money can purchase? Boston Journal

Luc1en Rodd of Whitehall, N. Y, being by
me duly sworn, deposes and says that some
years ago he suffered very greatly with insom-
MA, nervous prostration and his body was
covered with sores, causing him great pain
and annoyance. That his head was so cover
ed with sores that he was hardly able to comb or
even brush his hair, great was the pain it
occasioned.
That he consulted the local physicians with
out successful result; that he took quantities
OF medicine with no benefit whatever; that
physicians told him his disease was incurable
and he had come to the same concIuion himself
and had made up his mind to go to a hospital
and await DEATH
That just about this time he learned about
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve reme-
dy, which he began to use. That this remedy
entirely relieved and cured him, healed and
DRIED up his sores, enabled him to sleep
soundly and comfortably and restored him
to his ordinary vigor and vitality, in short,
made sound and well man of him so that he
was fully able to work at his occupation, and
has done so since that time.
That he attributes his recovery to Dr.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, as
1t restored him when everybody and every
thing else had failed and he had been given

THE FIRST TRAIN INTO JERUSA
LEM

Selah Merrill, u S. Consul, says in
the March Scribner: eve are now at
the Jerusalem station, which is 2 ,48O
feet above the level of the station at
Jaffa; and we have made the Journey
in 81 hours. Two years and half have
been occupied in building the road,
and the cost of it was not far from
So, O00,O 900. Four dollars will buv a
round trip ticket, first class, good for
two days from Jerusalem to Jaffa. On
Sunday, August 81, an engine came
within few hundred yards of the Je-
rusalem station; but the track to it
had not then been laid, and it was not
until Saturday, August 27,at 10 O'Clock
in the forenoon, that the first through
train from Jaffa, with engine and pas
senger cars, actually arrived at the
station. This is stated as official in
formation, partly for the reason that
some persons like to be exact in such
matters, and partly because the re-
port has, either through oversight or
carelessness, been widely circulated
that the first train arrived at Jerusa-
lem on Sunday, August 81, which is
not historically correct.''

Mrs. Everett, the wife of master
drayman, of New Orleans, is said to
be one of the best veterinary sur
geons in that city. She began by
treating her husbands horses during
an influenza epidemic. She had long
been skillful nurse, and noticing that
mules and horses suffered just as peo-
pie do she decided to doctor them in
the same way. Warm blankets and
hot applications, both external and
internal, proved remarkably effective.
and finally the appreciative animals
would open their mouths to take their
remedies. After the horses had re-
covered Mrs Everett, encouraged by
her success, studied every book she
could find on diseases of horses and
mules and their surgical treatment,
until she could set broken leg, ex-
tract nail from the hoof and treat
influenza and lockjaw.
