Why Conductors Wear Gloves.

Some of the conductors on the
Broadway cable road, who do not
wear gloves, often get their hands
badly discolored and sometimes poi
soned from handling pennies and other
coins. A conductor on the road
showed a New York Mail and Express
reporter his hands, which were stained
and discolored from the metal.
"Most of the conductors wear gloves
with the fingers cut partly off, said
he. eve do not wear them for
warmth, but to protect our hands
from contact with the metal. In
handling coins for an hour with bare
hands, they will get into very bad
condition"

abused is good for nobody"
Verdi the composer, is trying to eclipse
Cato's feat of learning Greek at eighty by

talk about chainess bicycles, that there was
only one or exhibition in the Chicago show
An Eastern concern has recently brought
out rack for bicycles, which may be used
either in baggage cars or upon the dash Of
street cars.
The bicycle has reached such state of
perfection that most Of tho improvements
noted in the wheels on exhibition in Chicago
may be truthfully described as minor ones.
1t will come as a surprise to many cyclists
to learn that the rubber in the tires on their
bicycles is, to use u paradOxical expression,
not rubber at all, but only u sulphide of
rubber.
Some French riders carry a cane when on
their wheels. Its use is for support while
resting to talk with an acquaintance; by
canting the wheel little and leaning upon
the cane they are not obliged to dismount.
An Englishman with stiff leg, due to an
old accident, has had bicycle built for him

But all are honest and sincere.
That is why any one can prove for
himself the genuineness of Puritana
cures.
Puritana patients get we'll.
This is fact.
There are reasons for it.
Puritana is the discovery of Prof.
DiXi Crosby.
He was the greatest New Hampshire
physician of his day.
He was at the head of the Dart
mouth Medical College for genera
ton.
He used common sense, and found
that disease or health came to the
body through the stomach.
He scientifically compounded a
stomach medicine from the harmless
products of nature.
This is Puritana.
1t makes the stomach right.
That is why it makes the health
right.
With a sound stomach no one can
help being we'll.
That is why Puritana patients get
we'll.
Chemists say that Puritanais good
medicine.
They also say it is we'll made.
The materials are the purest and
best that money can buy.
