My DEAR SIRS-I take great pleasure in ac-
knJwledgIng the great benefit my wife has de-
rived from your great and wonderful medicine
b.. b. b. For two years she was a great sufferer
from SCrOfula. or some blood disease which
had lain dOrmant all her life; we had attention
from some of the most skillful physicians in
SGE1FTE.k the country, but all to no
NSA6SA SAEA effect, until we had all de-
SPARED of her recovery. Her mouth was Il
solid ulcer and for two months or more her
body was broken out with sores until she lost
Il beautiful head Of hair, also her eye-laSheS
and eyebrows. In fact She seemed to be a
complete wreck. Now comes the great secret
which | want all the world to know, and that
is that three bottles of Blood Balm medicine
has done the work, which would sound incred-
IDLE to any one who did not know it to be SO.
10 day my wife is perfectly healthy and clear
from any scrOfulOuS faint, and she now has a
3-mOnths-Old babe also perfectly healthy.
Very respectfully,
ii. l.. CASSIDY.

THE proposal of Mr.. GLADSTONE to
confer the laureateship upon JOHN Rus
KIN has elected various opinions as to
the possible motive of the premier. 1t
Is regarded by some as an act of magma
nimity on the part Of Mr.. GLADSTONE,
since RUSKIN has never been in sympa-
thy with him politically by others as evil
dence that in the opinion Of the prime
minister the eminent art critic is the best
entitled to this honor among the literary
men of England and by still others that
Mr.. GLADsToNE's purpose was to bring
the laureateship into contempt as a use
less anachrOnism-the latter a most i'm
probable theory. 1t is not to be doubted
that Mr.. GLADSTONE could give, if re-
quired, very plausible reasons for his Sc
lection, but one of them could not be
that MR.. RUsKIN is a poet. The literary
work upon which his fame rests confess
eddy shows him to- have possessed the
poetic se~nsibility and spirit, bat his
claim to be a poet, as the world under
stands that term, rests upon a small vol
ume of verse, of no great merit, written
in his early years.

Roads and Horses.

One of the best arguments for good
roads is contained in a calculation re-
Gently published in one of the engineer
ing papers It states that on the worst
earth roads, not muddy, but sandy, a
horse can draw twice as much as he can
carry on his back; on a fair road, 81
times as much; on good macadamized
road, nine times as much; on smooth
plank road, twenty-five times as much;
on stone trackway, thirty-three times
as much, and on metal rails fifty-four
times as much. The men who use the
country roads can therefore make money
by improving the roads rather than by
buying new horses every year or two.

These sections are big, solid rings,
made of the best iron and steel, which
are so constructed that they can beitted
together Theoretically before the final
completion Of the tunnel. One ring after
the other is driven into the earth, while
contrivances particularly prepared for
this purpose haul away the dirt and
sand as if some magical power were at
work. Thick external and internal lay
ers of cement protect the metal, all Of
which will constitute mighty structure
against which all the powers of the un-
derworld will not be able to prevail.
Two tunnels will be laid, with single
track in each, so as as to avoid all posi-
BILE danger of collisions. As to elevated
roads, the Berliners will not listen to the
proposition, as they want privacy in
their homes and quiet both at home and
cafe, and maybe they are right.

UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS.
How Berlin Proposes to Solve the Problem
of Rapid Transit.

How Berlin Proposes TO Solve the Problem
of Rapid Transit.
Railroads on the surface, railroads in
the air, and railroads underground have
been tried in the great cities, and their
relative advantages are still holly dis
puted by engineers and the public. New
York and Brooklyn are completely
Esmashed" on their elevated roads. All
they want is an improvement of the sys-
tenn to permit of more trains at the busy
hours. and one more road to supply
rapid transit from the city hall region
straight to the north end of the city.
London seems to be equally well salts
fed with her wonderful underground
system, and now Berlin has declared her
intention to abolish surface tracks and
put all the lines under ground
In truth, the conditions are different.
The trolley and electric motor systems
would not do at all in the busy sections
of Berlin or New York, and the London
omnibuses on Broadway or Park row
would be simply ridiculous. Even in
the German capital, with it's placid,
home loving and phlegmatic people, there
were counted within sixteen hours on
the corner of Friedrich strasse and Inter
den Linden 120,016 foot passengers and
Il, 479 vehicles, and on the Potsdamer-
platz 81, 200 foot passengers and II 1863
vehicles. Every year social philosophers
protest against the 'smad rush of people
to the cities" and every year the rush is
greater.
The Berlin electric company intiI 4ales
that the necessary tunnels will cost
S212, 500 per mile, as under the city at a
depth of from ten to twenty feet has al
ready been constructed a great labyrinth
of gas and sewer pipes and telegraph
and telephone wires, while the bed of a
broad and deep river would appear to be
an insuperable obstacle. But London
has overcome almost equal obstacles,
and since November, 1890, electric mo-
tors have been introduced in that part
of the tunnel which connects the city
with the southern suburbs. The result
exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tions. All the difficulties which the steam
engines produced were removed at once
by this change.
An additional difficulty in Berlin, how
ever, is that the citizens will not submit
to have the streets torn up even tempo
rarily, and SO a new system of tunneling
must be adopted. Railroad Director
Mackinson has recently invented ma
chine especially for this kind of work,
which is considered a marvellous success.
AS far as the unscientific mind can COM
prehend his system, it seems to consist
mainly Of driving each separate section
of the tunnel forward into the earth.

The Salt in the Ocean.

The waters of the oceans and seas Of
our globe hold not less than 10000, Oo0,-
900, 900, 900 tons of salt in suspension. If
these figures are correct and the ocean
should be entirely dried up, there would
be deposit Of salt 45O feet deep over
every foot Of the great basin. If taken
out and spread upon what is now dry
land, it would give us salt covering
nearly ]. 500 feet thick.

To Be seen There-If the Disease
Breaks Out in New York Where VIII
End?
There are few things which have never
come to pass which seem surer of COM
ing than Cholera this spring. Three
we'll known physicians, one in Boston,
two in New York, have said this. A re-
cent despatch from Hamburg in the
daily papers says: -
ut is feared that the,seeds of death
sowed last summer will yield a fruitful
harvest in the spring."
There is no lodging this DIR ad disease
in the S ring and summer of 1898.
The country is ripe for it.
Our lax immigration laws will be
wholly, responsible for the death rate
through Cholera during 1898.
For years the United States has been
Europe's sewer. All the scum of her
human tides have been skinned off and
ladled to our shores. !: ...,.....
Austria, Bavaria, Poland, Russia,
Turk Y, Italy, China, these and many
other foreign countries send the g-tag

the vile, the diseased, and the utterly
lost, to our shores. This they have been
doing for years with the utmost impuni-
ty.

Gently remarked to the writer.
'tHow can we escape Cholera next
year? Of course, it won't break out up
On 5th Avenue, but. it will eventually
reach there, and all over the land. 1t
will break out on Forsyth, and Di-
vision. and Hester streets, and the
Bowery, and Cherry Hill, and the Five
Points. and Roosevelt street. Those
points are points of dirt and vermin.
That is where Cholera in this country
will break out. God knows where it
will end" -
This is an awful but timely warning.
Cholera is deadly, that we know.
The way to escape the frightful vista
ton is to be prepared for it.
Get your house-that is your body-in
perfect order.
Purify your system.
Cleanse and enrich your blood.

1882. At that time great rise occurred
in the SangamOn river. and steam
boat, taking advantage OF the high
water, came up the stream. My friend
was then a child, and the whistling OK
the boat frightened him. Lincoln, then
a tall, angular young man, took him IN
his arms and carried him aboard the
boat. After the departure of the craft
Lincoln wrote some rhymes about the
incident, one verse of which the Cab
aniss family preserved. 1t runs thus:
''The Illinois Suckers, green aud raw.

Although Lincoln was universally re-
garded as one of the most aIniable OF
men and was scarcely ever known to
show anger, those acquainted with
him in his youthful and obscure years
have declared that he had naturally a
fiery temper, which he struggled against
until he mastered it completely. After
having become prominent figure in the
councils of the nation, he was pattern
of self discipline and self control. On
of his favorite sayings, which would give
color to this belief, was, "The most I'M

Kentucky and Indiana has been given IN

said of his various removals IN Illinois.
His first location was in Macon county.
a few miles from the present city OF
Decatur, "in the timber" as the phrase
was. for in those days no one imagined
that the prairies would be settled IN the
lifetime of living man. Indeed several
of the early gazettccrs of Illinois stated
that those broad grassy plains would
remain for ever as common grazing
grounds for adjacent farmers In
few years, however, it was discovered
that the prairies were moro fertile than
tine woodland, and Thomas Lincoln was
all in a fever to move again, and did.

His third and last move was to the new
est part Of Coles county, then called
Goose Nest prairie, near the present
hamlet Of Pennington and eight miles
south Of Charleston, the county town.
His last plaintive utterance to his ia
nous son was that his little tract or
land bore "the usual incumbrance--a
mortgage for $780,"
On the 18th of January, ISL, he died
there at the age of seventy-three years
and eleven days. From a letter written
the following November by Abraham
Lincoln to his stepbrother, Johnston, we
learn that the writer paid the mortgage
