Mrs E. E. Davis, of San Miguel. Cal. says: II am trying in measure to re- pay the manufacturers of Chamberlain 8 Cough Remedy for the great good their remedy has done me. For years l was a constant sufferer from weak lungs and bronchial asthma. My rest at night was disturbed by hacking cough, so that felt miserable the greater part of the time. Many remedies recommend ed by friends were tried, none of which proved suitable to my case. I did not experience any beneficial results until I began taking Chamberlain Cough Remedy. After two bottles of the large size have been used I am pleased to state, my health is better than 1t has been for years The soreness has left my lungs and chest and can breathe easily. It has done me so much good that want all who are suffering from lung troubles, as I was, to give it 8 trial. For sale by druggists and deal CTS everywhere.

Good Memor,e. of the Jap.ne.e.

The jinrikisha men arc coolies, without education or mental training Most of them can read and write the names of streets and men and merchants and fac tories. They know the location and the number of every one of the SIS, 820 houses in Tokyo and the name of almost every one of the 1,50o, 900 inhabitants. They are very seldom puzzled to find an ad- dress, even though 1t may be given inoor- rectly, and If you tell them accurately where you want to go they will take you without tho slightest delay or hesitation. The same phenomenal memory appears in other classes of the people, and you have to be careful about telling Japanese gen tieman the same story twice.-Chioago Record

enough-on 1919 miles of new road, the
smallest mileage in twenty years.
There has been a steady decline in
railroad construction for the last five
years, the figures being approximately
$3.50 miles in 1890, 4,2S2 miles in 1891,
Ais miles in 1892, and 1885 miles in
1893. Last year only sos locomotives
We're built, whereas in 1890 there We're
1900 made From an output of 100000
freight cars in 1890 the product of the
shops dropped gradually to 1909 cars
in 1894, the decrease last year being
"a, 200 cars, compared with 1898. But all
this curtailment of mileage and equip
ment is due, in Mr.. Finney's opinion, to
the foresight of the shrewd railroad
managers, who realized that this coun-
try was approaching a period of de-
preston, when there would be a falling
off in traffic and when expenditures
would have to be reduced to enable the
net earnings to meet the fixed charges
and maintain dividends upon stocks
which had been in the habit of earning
them. 1t is believed that the railroads
reached rock bottom last year, and
just so soon as their statements begin
to show an increase in earnings and
the prosperity seems likely to be main
tained then extensions and additions to
equipment will be in order.

Tribune. During 1878 and 1879 James
II. Torrey, Scranton's present city solic-
itor, was the energetic president of the
organization. 1t was during this period
that a great revival of interest in the
temperance cause was aroused by the
work of Francis Murphy and Professor
Kelley. At the request Of the minis
terial association the Young Mems
Christian association took charge of
this work.
Brought About Temperance Reform.
The movement resulted in the organ
iZation of a temperance reform club,
and also of branch of the Womens $
Christian Temperance union. During
this year noon meetings for business
men, and services at the Jail, hospital
and poor farm We're successfully car
ried on.
The year 1879 was an uphill year for
the struggling organization and it's
light almost went out. The association
was without u secretary and funds
were low the total expense, as reported,
being but SPA But imperfect as the
equipment was and small as the work
had been up to this time in consequence,
its value to the community was recog-
nized and business men rallied to its
support. Generous subscriptions We're
given and the association was enabled
to open up better rooms than ever be-
fore at 437 Lackawanna avenue.
At this time G.. +. Reynolds, who is
at present member of the board, was

ORIGIN OF AN APT TITLE.
How the Pscudonym, Nickel Plate Road, -
Game to Be Applied to the New York,
Chicago " St. Louis Railroad

The story goes that shortly after the
New York, Chicago and St Louis rail-
road or. as it is better known, the
Nickel Plate road, was constructed, it
underwent a change of control, and
on an inquiry being made of one of
Americas best known millionaires as
to what had been paid for it, he re-
piled, evasively: why, sir. more could
not have been paid for that road had
the rails been nickel plated"
Acting on the suggestion that this
answer offered, the service in all it's
different departments was improved,
until, today it is The Nickel Plate Line
of America, with powerful locomotives,
prompt as to time, comfortable coaches.
nicely decorated, richly upholstered and
easy riding dining cars, in which the
welfare of the inner-man is carefully
looked after and satisfied; Wagner
palace buffet sleeping cars, and sub
stantial stations. These, added to the
fact of it's being the shortest line be-
tween Buffalo and Chicago, via Erie,
Cleveland, Fostoria and Fort Wayne.
with through sleeping cars, from Bos-
ton and New York to Chicago, via
Fitchburg and West Shore railroads,
all combine to make it the popular line
between Buffalo and any point in the
south and west.

TWO ENERGETIC PRESIDENTS
James II. Torrcy and q. +. Reynolds
Guided the Association Through Four
Years Of Uphill work-Some Very
Weighty Testimony.

Following the business crisis of 1876
and 1877 and during a period when
Scranton particularly was disturbed by
labor troubles and strikes many busi-
ness concerns We're forced to the wall,
money was scarce and public institu-
tions found 1t difficult to weather the
storm. 1t looked unpromising for the
future of the Young Mems Christian
association, but with the hardihood and
grit which has ever characterized the
association it weathered the storm and
came ont of the panicky times stronger
than ever before to continue on the
road to its present high position.
A historical sketch of the association
to the year 1878 appeared in yesterdays
