walls will be fifteen feet high at the
lowest point. From that they will
range up to thirty-five feet, and the
main tower will loom up grandly
above the white structure. Within the
fort proper will be located two tobog-
gan slides, each POO yards in length
and running in opposite directions.
This will obviate the necessity Of Il
long and tiresome walk back after
riding down, as was the case former
ly. Now the plelsure-seeking-and to-
bOggan-riding is an exquisite pleasure.

The TrOlleys of Electric Railways.
A recent decision in M Of the feder-
al courts has awarded the priority of
invention to a naturalized Belgian, who
died some years ago. in regard to the
little undermining wheel which makes
contact, at the end of the long pole,
with the wire which brings the current
from the power-house to the cars on
the road. Street railway practice has
settled down to the use Of this device
all over the United States; but, as a
matter of fact, many other devices
have been tried, and some are in regu-
lar use, especially in Europe. In Amer
lea an early form was a little trolley"
hence the present misnOmer-which
ran along on top Of the wire, but was
always tumbling off and hitting the
roof of the car with a noise like thGn-
Ter. The scared passengers often
thought it was an explosion of the cleo
tricity, and the car e often lost
their patience putting the device back
On the wire with the aid of forkcd
sticks carried for that special purpose.
Another method tried in this country
with fair success was to run q sort of
metal shoe along in sliding contact
with the wires. In Europe, for many
years, a split tube sliding over and
around the wire has been used with ex-
cellent results, but the most popular
form is a trolley pole, with a cap of
bent wire, making it look like an exag-
gerated letter T, and this is sometimes
modified into a triangular shape of
wire. supported from the cal roof.
Both these scrape along the wire, and

In this country n of the very latest
forms has a trolley wheel pressing
against the side Of the wire, just as
though the top Of the ordinary trolley
pole had been bent over.

The Pace That Kills.
Fsst work and Fast Eating Make Three
1corA Years and Ten u Ripe Old
Age in These Days.
(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
The American people live too fast. eat
too fast and drink too fast. This has
brought upon many of us a train ofncrvous
and stomach disorders that are very difi-
cult to manage. Investigation and chemical
help those suffering from such ills has re-
suited in the discovery of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, which has taken
very high rank as a specific remedy.
IL. p. Owens. a travelling man thirty
years Of age, who is we'll knowR in this
community and generally liked because he
is a bright, energetic young fellow, resides
with his mother at 335 Central Avenue,
Cincinnati. Ohio. He has beer u victim OF
dyspepsia which took the form OF continu-
GUS constipation, and. strangely enough,
his mother suffered from the same trouble.
MIR. Owens testified to the merits OF Pink
Pills in a most enthusiastic way, ana SAID
to the Enquirer reporters:
III am glad to say anything I can for Dr.
Williams Pink Pills, because they did me
great good, and other people ought to know
Of their virtues as a medicine in stomach
troubles. 1t was some time ago when !
felt a heavy feeling in my stomach, and
grew very constipated. did not consult
doctor, but having heard Of the Pink Pills !
bought q box of them. In TWO OF three
days the heavy feeling in my stomach dis:
appeared and my bowels were regular. l
did not have to use more than = box OF
thcm before I was well. Since that time !
nave only occasionally been troubled with
constipation, and l get worried, be.
cause I know just what to do. Mother was
also troubled with indigestion and the
Pink Pills did the same for her they did
for me-cured her, didn't they, MOTHER.
When appealed to Mrs. Owens answered
"Tha is right. l found it was a great
medicine, so easy to take and so quick and
lasting in its results"
Mr.. Owens continued: II believe that
these pills are also good for nervousness.
When / had my stomach trouble ! was also
quite nervous and that disappeared with
the dyspepsia. The Pink Pills were all that
is claimed for them. You can make any
use of this testimonial you see tit."
H. p. Owens has occupied several posi-
lions of trust in this city. He was for a
time an employee of the Commercial-Gazette
He will go on the road in a few days for a
prominent business house here. Mrs.
Owens is quite as enthusiastic as her son
about the Pink Pills and her host of lady
friends can verify her good opinion OF this
wonderful remedy if they feel disposed tc
do so at any time. Where theetestimony
is SO general and unanimous as to the ex'
cellencies of Pink Pills as the Enquirer has
to believe all the good things said-about
the safe and simple remedy.

The Indignant Parrot.

The late Capt. Wright was always a
great admirer of Hon John Leary, al
though otherwise q Democrat, and
when the latter ran for mayor, nearly
four years since, Wright anne down
town with a pet parrot on his shoulder,
trying to teach 1t to say "Hurrah for
Leary." This it would not do, and,
after returning home he turned the
hose on 1t. After this operation the
captain, feeling very sorry, said.

said .Hurrah for Leary.'"

feathers, and, without turning around,
said: you go to h-ll."-Seattle Post.

NITROGEN in Manure.

The nitrogen voided in manurcs IS
contained mainly in the urine, and
therefore the liquid should be
saved ever more carefully than the
solid, although not one farmer in ten
fully realizes this fact. We are also
learning that the nitrogen (ammonia)
in stable manure is something Of an
uncertain factor. Wagner, the careful
German experimenter, holds that less
than half of the nitrogen in maDure is
Immediately available for plant
growth. This explains the advisable
ity of absorbents in stables to keep
what nitrogen there is in the manure,
and also the wisdom of adding I'M
