The report OF General Craighill, U. 8.
engineer, showing in detail the state of
improvements in the rivers and harbors

The estimated cost of completing the
improvements at Bar Harbor, where the
original project was for q riprap break
water from Porcupine Island to Dry
Ledge, is s26O, 200, Of which sum Con-
gress should appropriate $4,000. The
breakwater has already been partially
constructed, but contract was let in
March for the delivery Of 1900 tons Of
stone. The balance available June 30,
last, was $9SO.2S. The amount expended

67S12.
The department has removed many
powders during the year from the chan
mel of Bagaduce river, which empties
into the Penobscot river at Castine.
These powders were menace to naviga-
ton and the original project was for the
clearing of channel Of sufficient depth
for vessels to pass between Brides Point
and Bowder's wharf. There has been
expended on this improvement during the
past year $4,795.O9. About 1850 tons OF
powders have been removed during the
year from the channel opposite Wlnslow's
Island. The total cost OF the improve
ment up to date of the report Is $751;
795. 90 and the estimated cost for compile
ton is s29. 1915, OF which Gen. Craighill

MYSTERIES OF MEDICINE.

Doctors Know What Drugs Will Do, but
 Not Why They Do It.
 "When a person takes dose of medi- cine, :" said doctor, "he never stops to consider what wonderful provider na- ture is. When you consider that we are able to give drugs which will go though the entire system without having any eff feet upon any part or organ until it comes perhaps to some nerve upon which it expends all it's force, it is in- deed miracle of the most wonderful kind. We don't know why it does it, but we know what it does. The progress in materia medica has been wonderful. By provings the specific effects of drugs have been discovered, so that they can be given with specific results. Medicine is gradually emerging from the dark valley of guesswork into the bright sun light of science.
 "The modern physician does not make a mixture of seven or eight drugs, hop ing that some one of them will produce the effect desired. He does not take chances upon striking a remedy one in Seven. He knows now just what drug will produce the results he wants, and he prescribes that. I attended man the other day who had not been sick fo1 20 or 30 years. went into his room, and after observing his symptoms asked for half glass of water, into which dropped small pellet, a triturate. The old man looked at me after had given him dose of it and then smiled
 Well, doctor, he said, you treat ed me for this complaint when I was sick many years ago, and must say the remembrance of the taste of the medi- cine you gave me then is still vivid. don't think that person could have mixed more horrible concoction than that was. Now you treat me for the same disease, and the drug is almost tasteless. How do you account for that?'
 |" Progress, I replied. And progress it isl Every day increases our knowl- edge of drugs and our power to alleviate suffering and save human life. "-Pitts. burg Dispatch.

STRANGE HILL THIS.
A Bicycle Will Not Run Down It, but Goe,
 Up Easily.

A Bicycle Will Not Run Down It, but Goet
 Up Easily.
 "There is a hill in Ulster county that bicycle riders find no difficulty in as. cending on their wheels, but which their machines won't descend by thei1 own gravity" said New York wheel. man. This mysterious hill is the last one of the numerous hills on the route between Lake Mohonk and the Hudson river.
 The moment he takes his feet off the pedals to let the machine toboggan down by force of gravity 1t slows up and be. gins to wabble, and if its rider doesn't brace up and take it in hand and foot again it will topple over and tumble him in the ditch. He has to work the wheel for all he is worth to get it down the hill. On the contrary, the wheel will mount the hill with less effort on the part of the wheelman to propel il than it requires ordinarily to move il along on the level.
 The theory is that there must be big mass of magnetic ore under the surface near the top of the hill which influences the action of the bicycles. However that may be, the fact exists that here is 6 hill that bicycle won t run down of its own gravity, and which the wheelman can mount as easily, if not more easily, than he can ride the level road.

An Act Of HeIOism.

To those who believe in the Brother hood of Man and the preponderance of good over evil in human nature there is something very inspiring and consol- ing in having this faith justified.
 Thomas Lloyd, engineer at colliery in West Pittston, Penn, just before II o'clock on Saturday night, Dec. 15. 1894 gave splendid example of tue courage and fortitude, as we'll as benevo- lence, of which human nature is capa- ble. The engine house at the mouth of the shaft took fire and Lloyd, who was alone in the building. found it impossi- ble to extinguish the flames which made rapid headway. Remembering that there were 46 men in the mine below he telephoued to the man at the foot of the shaft. The foot man told the miners to throw down their tools and get into the cage at once. Lloyd, now surround ed by the flames, patiently awaited the signal to hoist the men. Finally the men were all rescued, but it was neces- sary to make three trips of the bucket or cage and long before this one side of the building collapsed, the burning timbers falling around the engineer. When the work was accomplished Lloyd tainted from pain and exhaustion. He was horribly burned about the face and hands. One report says he was fatally burned; another report says he will re- cover. But whether Mir Lloyd is living or dead, the State of Pennsylvania should erect a monument at West Pittston in recognition of MT Lloyd's heroism and self-sacrifice and to perpet- uate the memory of such noble and heroic deed.

The hotel employees and guests began fighting the fire at once with buckets of water, but. owing to the defective fire alarm. it was eight o'clock before the firemen arrived They did good service when they did arrive and saved the building. No lives were lost. The loss to the furniture from fire and water was adjusted at S1, 15O.

A CARD FROM 4. G. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Haxleyville Is now so well known far and near, that we feel that we may safely, for a time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An "ad" to be of any value should be changed every week. We are too busy to do it. Besides. we heard man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Hawleyville. who Hd- vertises so much, must be a fool" Queer what big game one runs onto eometimee when one goes out without gun.l Another more charitable friend remart ed to us conf- dentially, in an of hand way. that writing lads" out of business hours is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got 1t; and he looked away over into the next county when he said il but-well. we are not slow to take hint, II it is n blind one. IL would be perfectly nw- ful If we should really get it this softenng disease, we mean aud have it get real deep ly seated before We knew it, or before We had time to vaccinate. So we are going to stop right of short. give up onr advertising col umns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise go into the coff''rs or these "grasIing newspaper monopolies." eat brain hardening food and attend strictly to busi- ness, i. e. selling furniture at Haweyville. Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how sensi- tive we are to adverse crit 'cism. and say that we are simply boycotting aud paying Debs with the newspapers for awhile. Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for any thing to harden. Be compassionate. be just be considerate. be charitable, be liberal mind ed one with another and last of all be sure and come to Hawleyville before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin 1t in your hat.
