The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has improved its freight ia
cilities in Philadelphia very materially
during the past year. A new pier, No.
% South, which was completed in De
cember 557 feet long and 40 feet wide,
and it is said to be one of the finest in
the city. Vessels of the deepest
draught can tie up on both sides of the
pier, thereby affording every facility
for the prompt handling of freight.
The pier and sheds are lighted with
improved incandescent lights, and well
paved driveways have been provided.
This improvement enables the b. and
O. to handle about three times as much
business as formerly. The different
freight yards throughout the city have
been improved by the laying of addi-
tional tracks and arrangements have
been made with the Pennsylvania
Warehousing and Safe Deposit Com
pany by which the b. and 0. handles
grain, flour, hay, straw, canned goods
and other merchandise through their
warehouses and elevators.

WOMAN AND THE WHEEL.
From the Gazette, Delaware, Ohio.

The healthfulness Of bicycle riding for
women is still a disputed question between
eminent physicians and health reformers.
Used in moderation it surely creates for
women means Of outdoor exercise, the
benefit Of which all physicians concede.
Used to excess, like any other pastime, it's
effect is likely to be dangerous.

Mrs. Reed, have experienced some concern
for their daughters who are fond Of wheel

alarming manner. She grew steadily paler
and thinner, and it appeared she was going
into consumption. Rest and quiet did her

Dyspepsia Is one of the most prevalent OF
diseases. Thousands of people suffer from
it in more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on
human life asd happiness. What the dys-
peptic needs is not local treatment. not
mere temporary stimulus, The real need
is the toning up of the entire system. For
tify the systasi and it will do its own fight
ing, and promptly eject any intruding
disease. The success of DR.. Ayers Sarsa-
parilia in curing indigestion and dyspep-
ST. is due to just this quality which it
possesses, of renewing the vital forces
repairing the waste and loss of the BODY.
The ordinary treatment brings the food
down to the level of the weak stomach.
Dr. Ayers Sarsaparilla puts strength into
the stomach, and brings 1t up to the level of
the strong food fit for men. 1t does this
by strengthening the entire system. The
stomach cannot stay weak when all the
other organs are gaining strength. what
DR., Ayers Sarsaparilla will do for dyspep-
STA is best illustrated in cases like taat of

 you'll find
 Is not what it used to be; You may shake. you may shock all the fort
 ressed rock
 With the light and the heavy shell. But am the gun that is in when the fun Is the same as they have in-well, You may swing your ships to the battle fine. And speed them upon the courSe You may wake the roar Of the aft and fore Till the throats Of the guns are coarse: But the marks they miss are the spots kiss With the lips of my bursting shell For am the gun that is in when the fun Is the same as they have in-well.

Her lover is soldier brave: Her cheeks flame red with pride To see him ride with nodding plume And bright sword by his side. As iercer grows the battle stress The reeling line gives way; The standards down. Who now will dare Grim death to save the day: The warrior falters: of his love He dreams an inStants space. And sees the look of agony
 Blanch white her pleading face. But through his heart battle-song Rings out its bugle note. His spirit leaps to echo now
 Each word the poet wrote. Forth springs hero! At the sight A hundred comrades come To keep the standard where it wave; Charge" beats the valiant drum. Through wavering rank new courage glows The melting lines reform; All gather where those coiors float Above one dauntlcSs form.

Bargain Counter Postage Stamps.

The Detroit Free Press tells of man
by the name of Bumper who had failed
in business once and lost his last dollar.
He studied the thing over from every
view and concluded that his fatal mis-
take was in not advertising. He was a
general favorite in the country town
where he had met disaster, but he had
held nothing out from his creditors and
his reward came in the shape of the
postmastership. The income depended
very largely on the number and value
of stamps sold. Bumper determined
that he would not fail again, at least
from the same cause, so he placed a
large display ad in the local paper,
notifying the public that he had the
largest brightest, newest and best Sc
lected stock of postage stamps in the
county. He would sell them at the
lowest figure, warrant them to be all
that was represented, would sell them
in quantities to suit the purchasers,
guarantee that they would carry let
ter as far and as safely as any other
stamps in the world, defied competition
and wound up by saying that he had
the backing OF the government and as
long as it was good he was good.
SIT beat the band" tells an old citiz-
en-. eve laughed at him and knew
that he was the first postmaster that
ever adopted such tactics, but he was a
winner. 1t tickeled the people almost
70 death, and there is no better way of
getting their favor. Bumper made a
nice thing out Of it. raising the post
Office to another class and thereby in
creasing his salary. He is now in pri-
vate business again and thinks an ad-
vertisement about as good as ready

DON'T COUGH.
How to Avoid it and Thus Effect
Cure.

A physician who is connected with
an institution in which there arc many
children says: There is nothing more
irritable to a cough than coughing
For some time had been so fully as
sured of this that | determined for one
minute at least to lessen the number of
coughs heard in a certain ward in a
hospital of the institution. By the pro-
mise of rewards and punishments l sue
coded in inducing them simply to hold
their breath when tempted to cough,
and in little while was surprised to
see how some of the children entirely
recovered from the disease.
Constant coughing is precisely like
scratching wound on the outside of
the body: so long as it is done the wound
will not heal Let person when tempt
ed to cough draw a long breath and
hold it until it warns and southes every
air cell, and some benefit will soon be
received from this process. The nitro
gen which is thus refined acts as an
anodyne to the mucous membrane, al
laying the desire to cough and giving
the throat and lungs chance to heal.
At the same time suitable medicine
will aid nature in her efforts to recu-
