A NEW HANDSPRING.

New Waterbury Movement Discov-
 cred by an Employe of a Watch Fac
 tory in Connecticut.
 When Charles V retired to a Monas- tery, worn out with internecine strife in his kingdom, he busted himself with trying to make twelve watches keep &C., curste time. This was long before the complicated machinery now in existence for manufacturing was ever thought of It was in the days of manual labor when the most intricate mechanism was fiu- ished by hand. Failing in Lis object after months of patient toiling, he gave up in disgust, and exclaimed, What fool have been, trying to make my subjects all think alike, when am un- able to make F watches keep the same time" There Is no doubt about the difficulty of making men intellectually go oil on the same hair trigger princi. pie. and to expect to whip them all in. to line physically, is simply an impossi- bility. They are very much like watches. Some run along for years and keep their health. Some are in the do- nestle repair shop several times year, and some are often in the big pawn shops of human life. the general or pri- vate hospitals. They are subject to cli- matic changes. An unseen microbe is often more disastrous to the coustitu. tion than microscopical dust to a watch. Did you ever see novice trying to set watch, that has stopped, going again Did you ever see man laid up with bsckache trying to tinker himself back into good health? Did you ever try to catch an eel in a bag of snakes? You might get it, but the chances are 100 to l. This is so with kidney disorders TlnkerinR. patching, mending and pieclng are useless, A waste of time, Get down to causes. Even if you only dislodge the enemy and force retreat, you know how to attack him when he again becomes aggressive It's no sign that watch even guaranteed won't 90 wrong again. Thomas Gillern, of No. 446 Main St., Waterbury, Conn.,, like some of the watches that have passed through his fingers, last timo, so to speak, and required cleaning and ad- Justing. Thomas probably reasoned that an unsound man was similar to an unreliable time-piece. and he took him. self to the repairer. He says: "Sit- ting at my work all day is very tiresome and hard on the back. Mine ached so that could not sleep at night, in fact, 1 could not lie on my back at all. A dark red sediment in the urine showed the kidneys wero not working properly l heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and got box at drug store. I took them and they cured me. I am recommending them to my friends"
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers, price 50 cents. Mailed by Foster Milburn Co, Buffalo N. Y, sole agents for the United States.

Berkshire Railroad Matters.

It is said that the Boston & Albany railroad company is again considering the project of tunnelling the Taghconic range of mountains, thus bringing Pitts field within 30 miles of Albany by rail and bringing the Boston & Albany road into direct competition with the propos- ed electric line, which will be built in the near future from Pittsfeld to AL bany. It is believed that should the tunnel scheme be carried out the Con- solidated road would extend its lines to Williamstown, thus bringing the two roads into competitor, which would mean cut rates on freight and passenger traffic.
