The present systems of flag signal

past, and are the natural growth of
the cruder flag system in use in the

There have been some changes in the
construction of flags, and the scope of
communication has been enlarged but
otherwise our forefathers talked at sea
in much the same way that we do now.
Of course the Ardois light signal is
something very modern. In old times
they communicated at night either
with colored lights or by torches. but
as there was no alphabetical code in
those days the process was by means of
flashes representing numbers in the
signal book and it was long and
tedious.

made to notify the nearest body of

Mr.. Levi Drew of this city states:
Z suffered from a lame back for a
number of years. During this time
was working as a carpenter, and the
lifting of heavy timber required in my
occupation, was, l think, the cause of
my backache. No one but fellow vic
tim can well understand what troub-
lesome complaint this is. At length
/ was fortunate enough to hear about
DOan's Backache Kidney Pills. and |
then obtained some at the Hollister
Drug Co.'S store. The use of them has
convinced me from personal expert
ence that they are a wonderful cure
for backache, and I have no hesitancy
in recommending them to others for
this compliant"

remove his shoes. Mrs. Jackilenski rep
rimanded her husband for his condition

threw it at his wife. The shoe struck
her on the head. Mrs. Jackilenski threw
the shoe back at her husband and a

lowing morning under the influence of

N
Another opportunity is offered by the
Erie Railroad to visit Niagara Falls at
the low rate of s. for the round trip. the
regular rate for a one way ticket. These
tickets will be accepted on the regular
trains leaving Jersey City depot at 9:15 A.
M, 7:45 P. M. and $50 P. NJ, on Saturday
ana Sunday next, Dec. 80 and 81, and good
on any regular train leaving the Falls up
to and including January 2, 1900.
Any one making this trip will certainly
look back to the New Years of 1900 with
pleasure. Niagara ID without doubt one
of the most interesting and wonderful
sights of the world, and never loses its
fascination. The colder it is the more at
t~ractive 1t proves as the coating of ice
caused by the frozen spray adds a brill
liancy that is bewildering in its beauty.
AS the weather is certainly cold enough
now 1t is supposed that this excursion VIII
greatly exceed in numbers the one run

cents is too much,

that two large audiences felt at the per-

well fitted for the holiday attraction for

will test the capacity of the theatre. D..
