BEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM.
From the Fairhaven IN. W Register.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheu-
matism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and instead of going for
the physician he went to the store
and secured a bottle of it. His wife
did not approve of Mr.. Rowland's
purchase at first, but nevertheless APP
piled the Balm thoroughly and in an
hours time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels
an ache or a pain and finds that it
always give relief. He says that no
medicine which she has used ever did
her as much good. For sale by all

"Give me figures for wiring my house, and

COMFORT VERSUS ECONOMY
Soft Tires Cot the Cyclist More, but Give

Him Greater Pleasure.
Many Of the evils charged 10 vibrn-
ton would lie avoided if riders were
more generally willing to ride with
their tires pumped only to moderate
degree Of hardness. To ride habitually
with a soft tire shortens the life of the
tire, but the price of Il pair of new tires,
as occasion may demand, would seem to
he very moderate compensation for the
comfort Ct the body and preservation of
the machine which follows the use of
tires not too hard, but just hard enough.
Undoubtedly the total pleasures and
benefits Of cycling would be greatly en-
HANGED If riders as class were to use
tires somewhat larger than those now in
general use. But larger tires would
bring increased liability to puncture
and leakage and the accompanying an
noyance
Resiliency is dear to the cyclist, but
it is practically lost when the tire is
pumped TO extreme hardness. The tire
manufacturer is obliged TO confront
complicated set of possibilities He must
provide the antivibratory feature and
yet knows that to do so with the idea of
offering the highest possible benefit to
the rider would hurt his business If he
advised that tires be only moderately
pumped many of them would come back
accompanied by criticisms rejecting ON
their durability. Competitors would take
advantage of the fact, and the result
would be disastrous. He is therefore
forced to advise riders to keep their tires
hard. The eXigencies of business de-
mand that the tires be preserved with
out special regard to the health of the
rider or the life of the machine. Amer

Possibly many OF you suppose that the
umbrella is a modern Invention, but 1t Is
not. Both as an emblem OF rank. and as
a protection from sun and rain, II is OF
very ancient origin. Though the materials
used in tho manufacture have been con-
stantly changing, the general construction
OF the frame has been changed but little
In thousands Of years
Egyptian and NInevite sculptures OF the
earliest dates have many representations OF
the umbrella, but it is invariably In con-
nection with royalty: 1t was always held
over the head of monarch when he rode
in his chariot, and at his great open air
feasts. In some OF the Hindu sculptures
Vishnu is represented carrying an umbrella
when going on visit TO the internal re-
gions.
We find frequent references to the UNI
brella in the Greek poets; for its use was
quito fashionable among women OF high
rank in Greece. In the middle ages II was

brellas were carried over cardinals and
bishops In solemn professions. and all OF
the IL rye cathedrals owned one or more
umbrellas that were kept for use on such
occasions.
The Chinese adopted the umbrella in the
yery early period In their history, and for
many centuries were the only people that
did not confne its use to the king and
princes OF the blood. However. they per-
mitted only men OF wealth and high posi-
