Legitimate is Stunned, and therefore

And Shakespeare hides his head divine,
Such lofty plays the public Sights,
While skits without a saving line

BoNNY EAGLE, Me. Gentlemen -
Your Sarsaparilla has been of untold
value to me. For twenty-six years have
suffered from acute rheumatism; have
had rheumatic fever eight or ten times,
and have hardly been free from rheumat-
ic pains for many years until about sew
en- months ago. For the last six or
eight years l have suffered terribly. l
have spent hundreds of dollars for doc
tors and medicine, but could get no ben
eft. | tried all the remedies known, in
GLIDING two kinds of sarsaparillas, but
continually grew worse, until l was un-
able to do even the lightest work. I
could hardly move around. l was in
this condition, and had been so for over
year, when l began taking Aliens
Sarsaparilla. have now taken six bot
ties, and have hardly felt twinge of
rheumatism for seven months, during
which time l have been doing a mans
work every day. can now do as much
hard work in a day as the majority of
men, all of which is due to Aliens
Sarsaparilla. ELLIS B. USHER.

Why windmllIs Burned Down.

Of the production of fire by the fric-
ton of wood against wood, windmills
of the old construction gave, on a large
scale, some disastrous examples. When
the force of the wind increased, the
miller was obliged to bring each of the
sails in succession to the ground in or
der to unclothe it, but when sudden
squalls came on this was impracticable,
and the mill, in extreme cases, ran
away-that is, could not be stopped.
Everything was now done to increase
the grip of the wooden brake round the
great wheel on the driving shaft, and
water was poured copiously over them,
but in spite of all this flames would
sometimes burst out from the intense
friction and the mill be probably
burned down as the result. The beau
tiful machinery of the modern wind
mill, by which the miller controls the
action of the sails from the interior of
the building, has reduced this danger to
a minimum. Notes and Queries.

One characteristic of Mgr. Satolli is
the power of his memory. His duties

therefore IN the English language. He
writes his speeches out in Italian, for

paper what he wishes to say and in Just
what words he wishes to say it, has
these speeches translated into English

the English to memory. SO wonderful

function, and that Congress can
regulate the rates and the contracts
expressed between the roads and
the shippers, and, if this is so, Con-
gress has the right to exercise a
control over the vehicles and means
of transportation, and can prevent
interference in any way with them.
In fact, the disposition is to stretch
governmental powers as given by
Congress and construed by the Su

charges are that an effort will be
made before a year to punish en-
ployes on railroads who mutiny,
just the same as employees on ships.

McRAE S LAND BILL PASSED.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-By virtue
of the adoption of an order this
afternoon the House was able to
reach a vote on the McRae land
grant forfeiture, bill this afternoon
and it was passed. The bill amends
the act of September 20, 1890,
which in substance declared the
forfeiture to the United States of
lands heretofore granted to States
and corporations to aid in the con-
construction of railroads to the ex-
tent only of lands opposite to and
coterminous with the portion Of
such railroads as we're not complet-
ed and operated at that time. The
bill passed today extends the for
fixture to the portions of the sever
al railroads to aid in the construc-
ton of which the grants were made
which we're uncompleted when the
time expired within which the
roads were respectively required to
be completed by the several laws
making the grants 1t involves
portions of the grants of twenty
five roads, the principal one of which
is the Northern Pacific and will re-
store to 1.-THE public domain about
100000 acres. A proviso was adj
ded to the bill 50 as to prevent it
from being construed to forfeit the
right of way with station grounds
of any company, and also confirms
to purchasers in good faith from
such railroads the title of lands not
in excess Of 800 acres to each holder
An effort was made by Mr. Hart
man, of Montana, to remove the
800 acres limitation on purchased
titles, but this was defeated by a
vote of 9S to 112.
