BACKACHE.
From the Press, Nc,u York Citu.

IF
rev people have suffered more from pain
IN the back than Mrs. Lille B. Newell of
no. %ol3 Second Avenue, New York City.
Eor several years she was SO afflicted with
tns distressing malady that she was hardly
aole to get around, and could do little to
care Tor her children which made her suffer
ing all the harder to bear. Her husband,
Charles Newell, who is q Well-knoWn New
ork optician, tried in every way to find q
remedy for his wife, but no medicine
seemed to have the power to remove her
pain.
Mrs. Glynn, a sister of Mrs. Newell, is a
professional nurse, and was familiar with
the symptoms of her sisters sickness. Mrs.
NeWell was away on visit when reporter
at No. 4l6 East One hundred and-twentieth
street, told the story of her sisters re-
covery.
A doctor was called when Mrs. Newell's
condltlon became serious and he prescribed
lieved the woman's pain as no other medi-
cine has done. "After awhile" Mrs. Glynn
told the reporter, 1--WE learned that the medi-
cine the physician was giving my sister was

how excellent a remedy these pills were,
Mrs. Newell bought some at drug store
and continued taking them. The effect was

to operate it consists OF two men and

The prompt operation of force like

ton and the pound of cure at the same
time. The work is rapid and cheaply
done and if applied two or three times

vents the wasting away of the road

There are two or three methods in
Illinois in force by which the funds
for road making are expended. BY a
vote ut the town meeting an assess
ment is provided for and the tax is in
vested in road improvement by the
town commissioners.
Where no such vote is taken the work
is principally done by the poll tax which
enables people 10 work it out at their
leisure and about as they see fit. BY this
plan the work is usually done in slip
shod manner. The roadmaster may be
competent but the work is not suffi-
GENTLY under his control to enable
him to systelnize and to use the labor
which is legally available for such use
to the best advantage. BY the use of
the same amount of ready money as
may be represented in the poll tax,
much better results may be obtained
than can possibly be expected from
that labor expended without any defin-
tie object in view. It is surprising to
see what good roads and well kept
lanes will do for a country, in the APP
pearance and the real value they bring
to those who are willing to devote
some attention to the subject. In fact
the character Of the public roads is an
indication of the character of the

A MYSTERY OF THE RIFLE.

Wise.

Unaccountable Result Of Shooting from .
Wise.
Something that no man understands
is why a rife, clamped in an immovable
wise, will not put bullet in the same
hole every time, even if the wind does
not interfere. A correspondent of
Shooting and Fishing tells how he put
rife of 80 caliber into a wise and fred
it ten times. the sights being always
aimed directly at a mark. The bullets
went all over four-inch circle at SO
yards. Theoretically all ought to have
gone into the same hole.
A man who holds his rifle gripped
hard at one time and easily at another
will not shoot as we'll as one who takes
the same hold of his rife every time.
The best results are obtained from
bench rests when the man puts his
shoulder against the rife butt.

Fertilizer and Fodder Crop.

rate of one bushel of peas to two bushels
of oats per acre. Sow the peas, harrow

stirring them in to less depth than the

0aid to Re the Tallest and Strongest Man
In Eastern Maine.
John Moriarty. known all over east
ern Maine as Barney Kelley's Giant"
died in Oldtown hospital recently Of
typhoid fever. says the Lewiston Even
ing Journal. He has been for nearly
two years employed as construction
hand on the Bangor &, Aroostook rail-
road, and later on the new Ashland
branch. where he became sick.
Moriarty stood feet 9A inches in
his stocking feet. and generally
weighed 24O pounds. Had he been fat
his weight would have been enormous.
But he was very lean. why" said
Barney Kelley, you could feed the
giant on porterhouse steak and eggs
and he wouldn't gain pound: but he
was an awful tough mani"
His arms were very long and he had
hands as powerful as the paws OF a
gorilla All over his body the muscles
stood out in Jumps and cords, and his
strength was immense. He could do as
much work as two ordinary men, and
on that account his services were al
ways In demand at more than common
wages. He was especially serviceable
as a derrick mamie could turn the
heavy crank all day without firing
An az was like q toy in his hands, a
cant-dog like walking-stick. He could
up end and shoulder q small log or piece
of timber that two ordinary men could
barely lift, and in every department
of hearty manual labor he was q very
Hercules.
Many stories are told of the giants
mighty strength. Once, when two
saucy woodsmen ''guyed" him about
his towering height, he seized them by
the shoulders, one in each hand, and
knocked their heads together till their
teeth rattled-and they were two good
sized men.
At another time some toughs came
into barroom where he was and pro-
ceeded to "clear the place out" Mori-
arty took them. two at a time. and
pitched them half way across the street
as though they were so many ninepins.

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts efforts-
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it. the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

ANCIENT TRADE IN ILLINOIS.

Antisai,sss Aisax the southern shore Of
Lake Michigan.
Some Interesting facts concerning
the early local history Of Chicago, with
theories OF the archaeology Of that 70.
gion, have been made public In . paper
prepared by John F. Steward, an ar
chwologist who has given much study
10 the antiquities Of the Lake Michigan
shore. He finds thSt "the archaeology
Of Chicago blended into the recorded
acts of the French explorers more than
two centuries ago" The geographical
Importance Of Chicago (irst spelled
"Chicagou') was recognized by tho
primitive inhabitants, and there are
evidences that the place was center
for traffic among the Indian tribes be-
fore It's written history began.
In fact, II Is Mr.. Stewards belief that
''as q commercial center Chicago be-
gan not long after the subsidence OF
the postglacial waters that sifted and
shifted the sands and gravels Of the
Mississippi valley and turned, In part,
the new-formed lakes through the gulf
Of st. Lawrence and partly into the
.yulf Of Mexico" Continuing the search
for facts concerning this early time,
he says: ut Is impossible to read
rightly the story that our archaeology
ical finds might tell; whether the
stone hearths that are so abundant on
the lake shore were laid by the French,
rs they camped over winter or per-
haps only for days waiting for storms
to abate; or whether they were laid
by the great Illinois nation, the Pot.
