In consumption beware of cough mix
lures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium paralizes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. 1t is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain a trace of any opiate, but stimu-
lates the nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the diseased lungs to a
sound and healthy state which no other
remedy has ever been known to accom-
plish.

CHlMNEYS KNOCKED OUT.

Machine Shops Can BE Run More
Economically without Them.
A few years ago the building of a
machine shop without a chimney would
have been looked upon as the act Of an
idiot. Now it may be the wisest thing
builder can do for the large fan
which is taking the place of the CHM
ney costs great deal less than the lofty
stack, and does its work much better.
Besides this there is great saving in
fuel
In one plant where this experiment
was tried there were three boilers, ag-
gregating $50 horsepower, and directly
above them was mounted fan connect.
ed direct with by double cylinder
engine The wheel of the fan was "a
inches in diameter, and as it could be
run at any speed, it provided a draft
quite independent Of the fire. 1t was
possible to use a much cheaper grade Of
coal and the saving thus effected was
quite appreciable
For instance, with the ordinary form
of chimney the shop would use 1924
tons Of Cumberland coal, at $3.50, az
gregating S., 929 a year Using the
blower, a mixture of Cumberland coal
and yard screenings, half and half,
would suffice This, at So, So 3, would
amount to 81, 995, showing difference
of 1884 The cost of operating the tan
was placed at 1888 per annum, SO that
the net gain was $751;, sum greater
than the entire cost of the mechanical
draft apparatus. st Louis Globe-Dem

of Mr.. Lincoln in Springfield, Ills, to
notify him Of his nomination for presi-
dent. They reached Springfield early in
the evening, and after supper at the
hotel made their call on Lincoln. 1t
was not to be very formal interview.
Lincoln stood in the parlor, dressed
in black frock coat. The announce
ment was made. and his reply seemed
brief He was evidently much con-
strained, but as soon as the last word
had been spoken he turned to Mr. Kel-
lev of Pennsylvania, the chairman OF

are a pretty tall man. How tall are

This was an allusion to Douglas, who
had been called the Little Giant.
One by one the members of the COM
mittee were introduced to Lincoln, and
when the Misunderstanding was over he
said;
Gentlemen, Mrs. Lincoln will be
pleased to see you in the adjoining
room, where you will find some refresh
ments. "
There Mrs Lincoln met them pleas
antly. but the only visible sign of re-
freshmehts was white earthen pitcher
filled with ice water This was possibly
Mr. Lincoln's little joke. for it was
afterward ascertained that his Repub-
lican neighbors had offered to furnish

have III his house, and that his Demo-

THE RED CROSS.

They. too. have heard the drumbeat
They follow the bugle's call.
These who are swift with pity
On the field where brave men fall
When the battle boom is silent
And the echoing thunder dies,
They haste TO the plain red sodden
With the blood of sacrifice
The flag that floats above them
Is marked with crimson sign
Pledge Of great compassion
And the rifted heart divine
That once for man s redemption
Knew earth's completest loss
These to the field Of valor
Bring loves immortal cross.
And so they follow the bugle
And heed the drumbeat's call,
But their erranl is one OF pity
They succor the men who fall.
