Then at about noon it cleared off and
the thermometer, which had indicated
a temperature of 20 degrees, suddenly
rose to about so degrees, at which it
remained all the rest of the day. Even
the night failed to bring relief, and dur

the citizens of Utica sitting by their
open windows, vainly striving for a
breath of fresh air.

Railroad Without Cara.

In the forest of Bridal Veil, Ore, not
far from the Dalles, there is a rail-
road which does business without cars
An article in the Northwestern Lum-
herman, describing the work of this
company, has picture of "train" on
the road, which consists of an ordinary
locomotive, such as are common on log
glng roads, and string of logs, each
log being as large in diameter as the
boiler of the engine, or larger. Boards
are nailed to the sleepers between the
rails, and on these the logs slide. Ex-
cept on descending grades, the boards
are creased, and the train moves at
good speed. Where the road is level
or slightly ascending, the engine pulls
the logs, and where it is descending it
holds them back. At the mills of this
company the manufactured lumber. re.
CARELESS of size, is run into a flume.
and this is carried about two miles to-
the planning mill and shipping yard,
the Hume descending in that distance
about 1900 feet.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years 1 have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, l be-
gan its use. Before 1 had used n bot
lie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your SIS. long ago,
1 would have escaped years OF misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

SPRINGTIDE,
BY ARTHUR L. NIT

Behold, the brown of the p~lowed-lands has
turned to the brightest of green,
And the buds of the purple lilac in the old
Homogeneous are seen !
There's gold in the daffodil's splendor!
there's cheer in the welcome sun,
And the flirting rain on the window-pan
has joy for ev'ry one !
No sigh for the ~vanquished winter who lies
on his hill throne-dead
Nor the ice and snow of the valleys low
nor broken clouds o'erhead !
We look to the woodlands CHEEKY, for 10, tits
the time of the year
When the blood runs wild through ev'ry
child and the aged heart finds cheer!
From the tips of the pointed shadows of the
willows that nod and sway,
The cowslips reach to the brooklets that
through the meadows stray.
The bees from their hives come roaring to
The elm trees branching limbs,
~ mi The winds from the waste of the ocean
haste to the woods with Nept'ic hymns!
The buds mature in their season, and the
warm rain swells the seed /!
o praise the Lord of the ~springtide, who
giveth the growth we need!
The night of the year has passed by us! the
morning has come with its gold!
And the joys of today will last for aye in
the hearts which Christ doth infold!
