M. Editor-I would like to inform the public
me. Three Years ago / had R6enma aHsio 'i in
my shoulder. 1t was Uery painful and stiff, 1t
gradually grew worse until it was helpless and
remained so for one year, utterly unable to
use it at all. Some of my neighbors that had
been helped by DIR. Chase on Cumberland
street. recommended him to me. l had no faith
and it required considerable urging for me to
try, but did, and am cured. and ma arm is

A COAL BREAKER.

customers in the demand for different
sizes of coal, and the fluctuations from
one size to another in their preferences,
have been fruitful source Of expense
and annoyance to the operators ever
since the introduction Of the system.
The first method Of breaking coal on
the pile with hammers was slow, waste
full, expensive and laborious. After
being broken 1t was shoveled into bar
rows and dumped in to the cars. The
coal was then hauled to landings with
horses or mules on the railroad, dumped
on the wharf, screened and assorted in
to various sizes and deposited on pile,
ready to be wheeled into the boat. The
whole process was crude, primitive, ex-
pensive and, compared with the present
system, absurd.
The matter Of breaking and preparing
the coal became the subject of great
cogitation among the operators, and
many improvements were suggested,
which finally resulted in the massive
structure Of wood and machinery,
known then and to the present day as
the "coal breaker" The machinery con-
stituting the breaker Is driven by steam
engines, generally of so to 100 horse
power, and consists Of two or more
cast iron rollers with projecting teeth,
revolving toward each other, through
which the coal Is passed; and the coal,

The attempt of Chicago Aldermen to
deny women the right to wear bloom
ers may be natural, but 1t is certainly
illegal. Under the Mosaic law women
are not allowed to wear mems cloth
ing, and our own laws have followed
that precedent. But it has been lately
said In defense of woman's right to
wear boomers that they are not mems
clothing, because at no time In the
worlds history did men ever wear any
thing so grotesquely ugly. Ugliness is
largely a matter of opinion-in the mat
ter of boomers as In everything else,
perhaps. But no matter how ugly they
may be considered by Chicago Alder
men, boomers will be worn by as many
women as want to wear them. There Is
nothing to prevent 1t. Women are at
last emancipated from the tyranny Of
man. The scold's bride, the ducking-
stool, the family rod of correction, mo
thicker THAI the thumb" are out Of
date. And in their absence any stand
that Chicago Aldermen may make for
the restoration of male despotism will
be futile. Every woman in Chicago is
entitled to do as she pleases In the mat
ter Of boomers. But 1t ought to be re-
membered that no woman who has
not worn her husbands trousers for
preliminary practice can ever look
natural or feel easy In boomers.
