In battles by sea or land, the men of strongest bodies and dearest brains are the ones who win. III the battles of busi- ness life the conflict is none the less fierce and deadly, and the strong are victors.
 In the pursuit of wealth many a man loses health-loses the power to enjoy wealth. It is not necessary. Few men ever die of hard work. A man may work as hard as he pleases if only he sleeps we'll, eats well, digests well. Good diges- tion is the key to the whole problem. Good digestion brings sound, restful sleep, keeps the appetite good and the blood pure.
 Good digestion is secured always and surely by the judicious use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is a per feet remedy for all digestive troubles, and beyond that is the greatest blood purifier and nerve strengthener ever sold. For over thirty years 1t has gone on its merci- ful healing mission bringing back life, and hope, and happiness, after all else had failed. Thousands have testified to its marvellous efficacy. Druggists sell it. Do not be deceived into taking a sub- stitute, said to be "just as good"

RAILROAD NOTES.

As recently as three years ago the Consolidated railroad was using freight locomotives the maximum draught of which was thirty-five loaded cars, the average being from twenty-five to thir- ty. With the improvements in the road-bed, the double-tracking of the Shore Line, and the purchase of heavy freight engines, the draught has stead ily increased, and last Monday an or der was issued reducing the freight gangs on the Shore Line division from five to four, and increasing the maxi mum number of cars in a train from fifty to sixty. The men claimed that under the new plan they will be over worked. and consulted a lawyer as to the application of a state law requiring a, certain number of brakemen on trains. it is stated, but that he has advised them that they have no case, as the law only applies to passenger trains. The company say that one im- mediate reason of the reduction is the use of steam brakes on cars near the engine. The men threaten to bring the matter before the next state legisla- ture.

MRS. CHARLES A. BAKER.
DEATH OF MRS. SCOTT -sIDDONs.
 Paris, Nov. 19.-Mrs. Scott -Siddons the well known actress, died here to- day.

Mrs Scott-Siddons was a great granddaughterNof the great Sarah Sid- dons. She began her career on the stage in London in 1867, giving read ings from Shakespeare's plays in the Hanover square rooms, and later on made her first appearance upon the regular stage at the Haymarket the ater in the character of Rosalind in tAs You Like it.' Her youth and beauty and influential friends in the press all helped to make her successful and for some time she enjoyed consid- erable popularity, both in London and in the provinces. She first came to the United States in 1868, when she read in Steinway hall, after which she acted in the Fifth Avenue theater. She then re- turned to London and acted in "The Lady of Lyons and several Sheakes- perian characters as we'll as in a num- Der Of romantic plays and melodramas.
 Tn later life Mrs. Siddons travelled extensively in the British colonies and achieved considerable popularity in Australia, but advancing years robbed her of much of her beauty and she gradually lost her power of public at tention She paid final visit to the United States a year or two ago, but her appearance on the stage then end- ed in failure. She was a woman of good intelligence, but limited dramatic power, and lost more than she gained from the celebrity of the name which she bore. By those who saw her in the days of her prime she will be re- membered as one oe the loveliest wo- men who ever appeared before the foot lights.
 She frequently. when at the height of her popularity, gave dramatic read ings in New Haven. and on one or more occasion was given a reception by the elite of New Haven's society and was the guest of one of New Ha- ven's leading families.

An Item for Sailors.

Here is an important statement-if true
for those interested in sailing. An
English newspaper says that while it is
hard to believe that the speed of a sailing
vessel can be increased by boring holes in
her sails, an Italian sea captain neverthe-
less claims to have conducted expert
ments which go a long way towards prov
ing it.
His theory is that the force of the wind
cannot fairly take effect on an inflated
sail, because of the cushion of immovable
air which fills up the hollow. 70 prevent
the formation of this cushion, the captain
bored number of holes in the sail.
These holes let through the air which
would otherwise have been retained in
the hollow OF the sail, and allowed the
wind to exercise it's whole power by strik-
ing fairly against the sail itself.
Several trials of this device have been
made, and it has been found that in a
light wind boat with ordinary sails
made four knots, while with the perfo-
rated sails she covered five and a quarter
knots. In fresh breeze she made seven
knots with the ordinary and eight and
three quarter knots with the perforated
sails; and in a strong wind she made
eight knots with the old and ten knots
with the new sails. The gain-from
twenty to twenty-five per CENTS of SO
much importance that the experiments
will be repeated on a larger scale.-Hdr-

USE OF NARROW TIRES.
ahey Are q Heavy Burden to the Main
tenance of Highways.

Abiding to the wide tire law of Con-
necticut, the Springfield Republican de-
clares that it is an eminently wise and
reasonable enactment, and the only
wonder is that people have to be forced
by legal measures into doing what is so
plainly for their own interest. No other
single element except ignorant road
making adds so much to the heavy bur-
den Of supporting the highways as the
use of narrow tires, which cut mp the
roads instead of ironing them smoothly
down.
Look at the beautiful, glossy path
which the bicyclists make for them
selves at the edge Of the road before the
puddles are fairly dried up and then at
the bottomless abyss plowed by the
loaded wagons, and one has the whole
thing in nutshell. The pneumatic BIZ
cycle tire, by fiattenirg ac the point of
impact with the road, has all the effect
of wide tire combined with a compar
atively light weight. The horses hoofs
chop up the road somewhat, but this is
nothing in comparison with the deep
cuts of the narrow wagon tires on ye-
hicles carrying heavy loads.
. If reasonably good roads We're made in
the first place and vehicles equipped
with tires with something near the
same proportion of weight TO width as
the tires Of a bicycle and with the
tread of the rear wheel wider than that
of the front wheels, so as not to follow
the same path, the surface of roads
would not be rutted, but on the con-
trary the w.lccls would serve as rollers
to roll the road down hard and make
them better. 1t seems rather "a travesty
on common sensc, as has been well said,
to tax the public to purchase expensive
rollers to smooth down the highways
and then permit narrow tired wagons
to cut them up at their own sweet viii.
The moro economical way would be to
make rollers ont Of the wagons by put
ting wide tires on them.

Potato Ivory.

Last week one of our friends, says the
Chicago Record, brought in an odd little
bust the head of laughing boy. 1t was
beautifully carved and colored rich
brown.
81 don't believe there's boy or girl
in Chicago" he. said, .swho can tell what
this bust is made of. And what is more,
there aren't many grown people who
could guess
1t wasn't wood-the bust Was too
heavy ivory, nor bronze, nor putty,
nor clay, nor plaster of Paris, nor marble
What was it, then? Why, nothing but
potato, although one would hardly be-
lieve hat so beautiful an object could be
made from II homeH, everyday Irish
potato.
Some boys and girls who are clever
with their jack-knives would like to
know, perhaps, how TO prepare potatoes
for carving. No doubt some of you could
do very pretty work with them. Choose
a potato which is perfectly sound. Do
not peel it, but wash it in Il weak solu-
ton of suiphuric acid until qaite clean.
Boil the potato in the snlu ion until
dense and solid. Take it out, wash it in
tepid water, removing all traces OF the
acid. Then dry it in a warm place.
W hen free from all moisture it may be
found to resemble ivory in appearance,
and can be carved as desired, or it VIII
take any dye.
Why not try potato ivory?
