Nervousness has as many queer symp-
toms. But whatever these may be, they
one and all depart in consequence of the
soothing, invigorating influence of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which tones the
system through the medium of thorough di-
gestion and assimilation. Tremulous nerves
soon acquire steadiness by it's use. It pro-
notes sleep and appetite, and fortifes the
system against disease. Malaria, constipa-
ton, rheumatism and kidney troubles are
relieved by it.

WE ALMOST GIVE THEr1 AWAY,

Almost all locomotive engineers pre-
fer fast run to a slow one. The fast
trains are the blue ribbons of the road
Aside from the honor of running q
fast train, there is very substantial
advantage in the hours. If an engineer
simply stepped into his cab in the sta
ton and stepped out again on his re-
turn, almost any run might do well
enough, but he doesn't do that; he goes
to the roundhouse before train time
and looks over the engine, and sees
that it is in condition and properly
supplied for the run, and in every way
ready, and he runs the engine to the
station.
All this takes time. On his return
he runs the engine back to the round
house; this takes time, too, though not
SO much as the time spent before the
run; but together these periods add
materially to the length of the engi-
neer's hours. Taking these duties into
account, the great advantages of fast
run are manifest; the shorter the time
spent on the road, the shorter the total
time.
There is q common impression that
no two locomotive engines work just
alike, even though made from the same
patterns. A locomotive engineer Of
long experience says that the impress
sion is correct. He says, by way of IL
lustration, that two high-grade watches
of the same pattern, and supposed to
be just alike, may not work the same
way.
One may not vary half a minute In
six months and so be, practically, q
perfect timekeeper, while the other
may vary minute in a month. 1t Is
so with engines; they do not work just
alike. One may steam and run better
than the other The slightest varia-
ton In finish or adjustment might be
sut icient to cause this.
When the new engine has been run
year or so 1t goes to the shop to be
overhauled. With 1t goes a report OF
the engineer who has run 1t on the en-
gine's characteristics and performance.
If the engine has developed any de-
fects they can usually be remedied at
this overhauling, and 1t may be that

Military salute In Europe.

The military salute required in al
most all civilized countries Is nearly
the same. Perhaps in Germany, how
ever, the regulations are somewhat
more stringent. A soldier on meeting
the emperor has to stand still, face
about and remain with hand raised
for from twelve to twenty PAGES before
his majesty approaches, and for the
same distance after he has passed. In
Belgium an officer has to do the same
thing for the king and subaltcrns for
generals, though ten PAGES only arc
required for the latter case. Soldiers
carrying anything so that their hands
are quite occupied salute with their
eyes-that is they turn their heads in
the direction Of the person coming and
going. French officers raise their caps
to each other, but the privatcs DO as
the privates In other armies do. Lon

A Vermont Youth Who Wasn't Paid for


A Vermont Youth Who Wasn't Paid for
Running.
In the year 1S5-, when wages were
low and hard work was the rule, GER
tain Vermont farmer attempted to in
crease the small income of his farm by
his winters lob of numbering. He
had for an assistant tall, lank youth
of eighteen. In the late fall the trees
were cut and the logs 'slSidded;" that
is, drawn together in pile on the brink
of steep bank, where they could be
easily loaded on u sled when theirs
should be sufficient snow, and drawn
to the mill.
A large pile had thus been accumu-
lated, when the blocking that held
them in place suddenly gave way, and
the logs began to roll down the steep
incline.
The young man was standing at the
moment directly in their path, and the
farmer shouted to him to run for his
life. Instead of this, he dropped into "a
little hollow that CHANGED to be near,
and the huge logs came down and
buried him several logs deep.
The farmer supposed that he had
been instantly killed, but the logs were
too heavy for him to remove alone.
With much difficulty he secured the as
sistance of several men, the logs were
rolled away, and the youth crawled out,
unframed.
"Why didn't you run, you idiot, as
told your" said the angry farmer.
"Do you s'pose am going to run for
ten dollars month";" was the indig
uant reply. Youths Companion.

LOCOMOTIVES AND ENGINEERS.
Fast Runs and Slow Runs, and Peculiari-

FAST Runs and Slow Runs, and Peculiari-
ties of Various Locomotives.
1t takes about an hour to get steam
enough on an ordinary locomotive en-
CINE to start it, from cold water 1t is
familiar fact that the water in the boil
ers of steam fire engines In cities is
kept hot while the engine is standing in
the house by pipe connection with a
boiler in the cellar underneath; when
the engine starts its own fire is lighted.
Locomotive engines that are running
regularly stand in the roundhouse in
the intervals between runs with their
fires banked.
The fires are kept cleaned, but they
may not be hauled for weeks. The
practice varies somewhat in this re-
spect. On some roads fires are hauled
once week, on other roads they are
kept up in engines for three or four
weeks or more continuously,
a locomotive engineer on one of the
fastest runs out of New York says that
DC has never seen an engine that would
run as fast as he would like to ride.
no apprehension apparently is felt by
the engineer of fast engine.
Calmness is one of his most noticea-
bic traits; and if he worries at all it is
because he has got hot box, or some
thlng has happened so that he may not
DC able to make the time, and not be-
cause he is going through the air at
nifty, sixty, seventy miles an hour. But
IL Should be understood that none but
man of perfect nerve is likely to
reach the footboard of fast engine.
There is not vast difference be-
tween running at night and at day
signal lights at night are palmer and
can be seen at a much greater distance
enan day signals. The engineer must,
VI course, keep constantly in mind
where he is, but he comes to know the
country just as a pilot knows his land
marks In the dark; and he has this adj
vantage of the pilot that he can't very
wen get out of the channel. Most en-
gineers prefer day runs, because it
seems more natural to work In the
daytime, and it is pleasanter.

A correspondent writes that he was
lying in hammock, reading, one warm
afternoon, when his attention was at
tracted by loud buzzing directly
overhead. On looking up to see what
was the matter, he found that big
fly, with legs twice as long as its body,
had become entangled in a spiders
web.
The fly struggled to free itself, but
the web, though bent and stretched,
would not break. The only part of the
fly which did not become ensnared
were those tremendous legs

The fly was making every effort to

like an earthquake. The spider seemed

as fast as they were spun. In very

been wrapped around the legs of the
fly that they were no longer able to

Then the spider spun another thread

Moderate Advances Were General Through
out the Market.
New York. July 2O.-To-day's stock
market was "a fitting complement to
that of the week, and reflected only the
usual end-of-the-week closing up of
traders contracts. The fact that the
professional operators of the street are
as a rule committed to the bear side of
strength easily understandable. Mod
crate advances were general throughout
the market, though ON account of the
inactivity it would be unreasonable to
suppose that any but a very inconsider-
ate part of the short interest could have
been covered. The greater part of the
activity was still concentrated in Sugar
Refining and in Chicago Gas, but Unit
ed States Leather and the Industrial list
generally made fractional gains. An
equal measure of improvement was not
ed in the granger stocks. which were
somewhat stimulated by encouraging
reports ofthe crops. Commission houses
and arbitrage dealers were practically
| idle.
The market closed dull and firm. The
] conspicuous changes in the bank state
ment were a decrease of over; 100000
