Mr.. Sam Billings was among
the Port Hill people who celebrated
the 4th at this place.
So netting to Know .

1t may be worth something to
know that the very best medicine
for restoring the tired our nervous
system to a healthy vigor is Electric
Bitters. This medicine is purely
vegetable, acts by giving tone to the
nerve centres in the stomach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing
offimpurities in the blood. Electric
Bitters improves the appetite, aids
digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic.
Try it. Sold for SOC or $1.00 per
bottle at J. F. Cooks Drug Store.

THE UNINvENTIvE FOREIGNER.
He Does Not Know How to Signal
the Engine Room.

the Engine Room.
A comparison of the different meth
DDS of doing what is practically the
same thing in various parts of the
World is both interesting and amusing
to the thoughtful observer. On Amer
lean ferryboats the import is well
known of the ting ting" or Jingle
jingle" of the bell by which the man
in the wheel house communicates with
his fellow mortal in the engine room.
On the Thames, however, it would be
considered practically impossible to
convey information in this manner,
and the captains of the small paddle
steamers on that stream stand on the
paddle boxes and sing out: ease 'er!"
Back 'er!" ETC., apparently to nobody
in particular, while these interesting
remarks are promptly repeated in shrill
tones by a small boy into a speaking
tube which communicates with the
lower regions. On the Seine, in France,
this process is simplified, and large
trumpet-shaped mouthpiece flares out
in front of the man at the wheel and he
yells his commands into this funnel, the
other end of which is supposed to reach
the engineer. The large steamers on
the Rhine, in Germany, are controlled,
not by the usual wheel placed in a
wheel house forward, but by large
wheel on a vertical axis, placed right
amidships upon an elevated platform OF
bridge, and several men pass the
handles from right to left, or upon oc-
casion trot around in a circle, and il
would doubtless be considered a seri-
GUS temptation of providence, or al
least a reflection upon the fatherland
if anyone were to attempt to construct
a Rhine steamer with the ordinary
form of steering gear.-Cassier's Maya
