During the winter Of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one OF the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co., w. Va,
struck bis leg against cake OF Ice in
such manner as to bru,se it severely.
It became very much swollen and pain
ed him so badly that he could not walk
Without the aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also several kinds
of liniment and two and hall gallons
of whisizey in bathing it, but nothing
gave any relief until he began using
Chamberlain &: Pain Balm. This bought
almost a complete cure i'll weeks
time and he belieyes that had he not
used this remedy his leg would have
had to be amputated. Pain Balm is

industry in this State, says the Cincln-

said that the wake OF prosperity had
not reached its height during that year
and that a big increase will be OBJ

ending with next March. In this con

Many LondCners have visited the
Italian district which lies in the neigh
borhood of Ihcohald' s road and Hatton
Garden. and some with inquiring minds
have strollsd up Leather lane and
watched the Italian ice cream vendors
aud fortune telling women with pretty
love birds. intermingled with the dirty,
noisy, street buwkers, common TO all
London slulus, it is amazing to learn
how these Italians crowd together in
the poky little houses Of the courts and
alleys. Generally a house is hired by an
old psdrore, who sublets TO as many Of
his countrymen as he can respectfully
squeeze in. The cellars are utilized as
sleeping apartments, and in the morn
ing as many as 20, even 30, men will
emerge from the bowels of the earth,
blinking and winking in the daylight
after night spent in the cellars under
one small dwelling house. A whole
family, consisting Of a husband and
wife and eight or nine fanciulli of vari-
Gus ages, often sleep in one small gar
ret or ellar.-Ludgate Magazine.

You are learning u trade. That is q
good thing to have. 1t is better than
gold. Brings always premium. But
to bring premium, the trade must be
perfect-no silver plated affair. When
you go to learn a trade, do so with de-
termination to win. Make up your
mind what you will be, and be it. De-
termine in your own mind TO be good
workman.
Have pluck and patience. Look out
for the interests of your employer
thus you will learn to look out for your
own. Do not wait to be told every
thing. Remember Act as though you
wish to learn. II you have an errand
10 do, start off like boy with some
life. Look about you. See how the
best workman in the shop does, and
copy after him. Learn to do things
we'll. Whatever is worth doing ut all
is worth doing well. Never slight
our work. Every job you do is sign.
If you have done one in ten minutes,
see if you cannot DO the next in nine.
Zoo many boys spoil lifetime by not
having patience. They work at a
trade until they see ABOUT one-haif OF
its mysteries and then strike for higher
wages. Act as if your own interests
and the interest OF your employer were
the same. Good mechanics are the
crops OF society, They are those who
stick TO their trades until thew learn
them. People always speak well Of a
boy who minds his own business, who
is willing TO work and who seems dis.
posed to be somebody in time. Learn
The whole OF your trade.-Ex.
