RHEUMATISM

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.

to her generosity, licensed minister,
looked upto by all who knew him, as
a young man Of more than ordinary
promise. once a year she had visit
ed, for few short days, the dear spot
where her affection were garnered,
and it always seemed to the household,
after her departure, as if the sun tshone
less brightly than usual, when they
missed the light of her smile, and the

But now the farmer and his wife
We're growing old, and could no longer
spare her, and on the next Sabbath,
her brother was to preach for the first
time in the old church Of Meredith, so
Grace Lee bade farewell to the spot
endeared to her by many recollections,
and at the close Of a bright summer
day, found herself once more amid her
earliest and dearest friends, under the
parental roof from which she had been
SO long an exile. 1t was happy circle
that surrounded the family altar that
night, and as the young clergyman, in
a deep, rich voice, that trembled with
emotion thanked God for the way in
which He led them, and above all, for
the safe return of her, whom He had
made the messenger of mercy to her
fathers house, Grace felt that such a
moment, more than repaid her for all
the sacrifices she had made.

her, few daye after her return, "Mr

and half inches across that wheel
must go, too. Then ther may be 81
sharp fiange, and that must be looked
after, A coupling may have faults. A
brake rigging may have given out, and
all these things the inspector must note,
He must be an honest man, az thou-
sands of dollars worth of property and
many lives may be sacrificed In case he
neglected something. Box-car doors he
looks at carefully They are dangerous
things If they are loose. Many an en-
glneer or firemanhas met his doom BY
having the cab strike looswe car door,
It may be hanging in place Ill the yard,
but when it reaches a point where
strong wind catches it, out it goes, and
the passing train strikes it. In such
cases there is shower Of splinters,
broken cab, and it Is lucky indeed, IL
there is no one killed. Engineers have
a dread of loose DOORS and are always
glad when freight train Is past them
when they are running at full speed.
Another thing the inspector must watch
Is the hopper bottom dump-car. II the
fastening gets loose and let's q load Of
ore or limestone down on the track

Taking all things into consideration.

cy on his part comes only from long

Usually an Unpretentious Man Whose
Position is One of Importance.
It is interesting to watch the trained
car inspector examining a long freight
train which has rolled into the yards.
He moves along the sides of the cars
and notes all the wheels, break beams,
holsters, rods, etc. He uses no hammer,
but has his seyes open for defects. He
will stop suddenly, locke carefully at
wheel and follow the faint lines Of
crack running, perhaps, from the 1ange
to the center. such a wheel is condemn
ed at once and the car is shunted off
until a new pair of wheels can be placed
