Work was commenced Aug. Goth on
the tunnel for the new underground
rapid transit railway in New York,
which is to run from the vicinity of the
city hall, via. New Elm street, Lafay-
cite and Aston places and Fourth Ave.
to FOrtysecOnd street. The prelinin-
AIRY bOri lgs will take two or three weeks
Then the final plans will be drawn, Oc
cupying another month, so that it will
be the middle of October before the
heavy work of excavation will COM
mence. The London underground rail-
ways have familiariariZed us somewhat
with the idea of traversing a great city
sixty or eighty feet below the level of
the pavements, but still it is not par
ticularly fascinating, especially as we
read that the route Is beset by quick
sands, and realize, also, that we shall
there be far below the level of the waters
surrounding New York.
In a recent letter to the manufacturers
Mr.. w. F. Benjamin, editor of the Spec
tator, Rushford. n. Y, says: ut may be
a pleasure to you to know the high esteem
in which Chamberlain's medicines are
held by the people of your own state,
where they must be best known. An aunt
of mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was
about to visit me a few years since, and
before leaving home wrote me, asking if
they were sold here, stating if they were
not she would bring quantity with her,
as she did not like to be without them"
The medicines referred to are Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures
of colds and Group; Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, for rheumatism, lame back, pains
in the side and chest, and Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhpa Remedy for
bowel complaints. These medicines have
been in constant use in Iowa for almost a
quarter of century. The people have
learned that they are articles of great
worth and merit, and unequaled by any
other. They are for sale by druggists.

The New Hook Spoon Free to All.

I read in the Christian Standard that
Miss A. NJ. Fritz, Station A., st. Louis,
Mo-, would give an elegant hook spoon to
anyone sending her ten 2-cent stamps. I
sent for one and found it so useful that
1 showed it to my friends, and made Sl3.OO
in two hours, taking orders for the spoon.
The hook spoon is household necessity.
1t cannot slip into the dish or cooking
vessel, being held in the place by hook
on the back. The spoon is something
that housekeepers have needed ever since
spoons were first invented. Anyone can
get sample spoon by sending ten 2-cent
stamps to Miss Fritz. This is a splendid
way to make money around home.
