cANo-NEEDLE MACHINES.
One the Many Varieties of Sewing
 Machines Made Nowadays

One the Many Varieties of Sewing
 Machines Made Nowadays.
 It is more or less familiar fact that sewing machines are used nowadays for sewing many different materials, as leather, paper, canvas, carpets, rub ber They are used for making but tonholes and sewing on buttons. They are made of many types and in simply hundreds of varieties for special uses. But it may not be known so common ly that there are many sewing ma chimes now made with more than one needle. The first of these, two needle machine, was made in the early eighties, about fifteen years ago. It was used by manufacturers of heavy clothing, perhaps first of all by the overall manufacturers, making seams stronger by putting in two rows Of stitching. The utility and economy of the two-needle machine soon became apparent and it came into widespread and diversified use. Whenever two rows of stitching Were to be made, two-needle machine was used. A fa- miliar illustration of the work is seen in the two parallel lines of stitching running with perfect exactness around the top of shoe vamp. Shirt sleeves are stitched into the body of the shirt on double needle machine the two rows being made in the same time that 1t would take to make one. Collars and cuffs were stitched on two-needle machines, as were great variety of these things, and later there were pro- duced machines with more than two needles. the first of these coming into use within five or six years. There are now made sewing machines with as many as twelve needles. twelve needle sewing machine simply has twelve needles where the ordinary sewing machine would have one. In- stead of single spool of thread on the top of the machine there appears there rack of twelve speels. There are twelve tension disks. The thread from each spool runs through it's own ten sion disk to it's own needle. There are below twelve shuttles, one for each needle. When this machine is oper- ated, it makes twelve rows of stitch sng just as an ordinary machine would make one. The twelve-needle machines are used chiefly in the manufacture Of eofsets.

JUSTICE IN CHINA.
\ Story of u Hung Chang and Would

Story of u Hung Chang and Would
 Re Prisoners.
 Of Ii Hung Chang numberless sto- ries are told in Chinese society. Now and then one reaches this country through our consuls in China, On one occasion when the premier was having a bitter fight with some of the more conservative members of the tsung-li- Tamen he received as a present mag nifieent cake, which he had reason to suspect contained poison. He put the cake aside and set all his powerful machinery to work to find out who was at the bottom of the plot. The investigation was partly successful, the frime being traced to three men, of whom one at least, was absolutely guilty, Ii had the trio arrested and brought to his yamen. When they ar rived they were ushered into his pres- once and were received in his courtli- est manner. The cake was produced, with the remark that "politeness for bade his tasting it until the three generous donors had had an opportun- ity to enjoy it's excellence" Ii cut the cake and one of his servitors handed it to the unwilling guests Each took a piece and ate, or pre-. tended to eat it. One erumbled the pieces and let them fall upon the floor eut the other two ate calmly without manifesting any emotion Ten minu- utes and the two men began to show symptoms of suffering. Ii smiled be- tignantly and said to the man who had not eaten: Your wisdom is so great that l am compelled to pre- serve your head as a souvenir to transcendent genius The man was removed and promptly deeapitated. TO the other two the premier remarked. The cake that you are eating is noS the one you sent me. but one which had my cook initiate The poison from which you are suffering exists only in your imagination. know of no way to cure your present pain ex eept by letting yoa share the same fate as your friend who has just legt the room. As they were led awaf the statesman said to his retinue: Il is a pity that a man who can eat a. deadly corrosive poison with an un-i moved countenance should so misapply the talent wherewith heaven has en- dewed him."

THIRSTY LONDON.
The Quantity of Water Required te
 Supply the Big City.


 In 1894 the astounding total of 192,- 100000 gallons day was reached by the combined water companies of Lon- don. This was supplied to the 5,50o,- 900 inhabitants at the rate of, say, thirty-two gallons head for all pur- poses. These figures represent an enormous volume of water, though small when compared with the mighty river that flowed into old Rome. We can only deal with the figures roughly; the supply fiuctuated to a considerable degree at different times iii the year; it is therefore not possible to be math- .ematicaIly accurate. Allowing for a slight increase since the last return and taking in other sources, to which l shall refer little later, we may pretty safely put the present London water supply at about 200, ,000 gall Ions a day. Let us try for moment 2o realize what these figures mean. With 200,o80,000 gallons of water we could fill lake a mile long, a quarter Of mile wide and five feet deep. The water in 1t would weigh nearly a mill lion tons. This lake would stretch from the Bank of Church, yet il would De, emptied in a single day to assuage the thirst Of London Or suppose we could freeze all this water, we could build up a great block of Ice a thou sand feet long, a thousand feet wide and thirty-two feet high. If we allow for the expansion of freezing the block would of course be still bigger. Sixty five of the largest ironclads in the British navy could float in the water VIC use every day in London When We come to compare our supply with the mighty torrent of Niagara we be- little 1t. The water goes laundering over the falls at the rate of 2,000, 900 tons q minute, or 426090, 900 gallons. Our whole daily supply would be whirled over long before the second hand of q watch would have travelled once around the dial. And could we divert the magnificent torrent for only three hours we could supply London with water for whole year at the present rate. Niagara is a big thing Good Words.

trous which has ever occurred in Bing-

the old stand, which is heap of smoul-
dered ashes. While the firemen were yet
pouring water on the burning Chenango
street establishment, the Kilmers were
arranging to do business somewhere else.
That this grea& industry might not be
crippled for moment, through the cour-
tesy of other prominent firms and citi-
zens, the large factory and adjoining
buildings on South street were vacated
for the benefit of the Swamp Root peo-
pie, and possession was taken immedi-
ately, and here, by Monday, July 8, this
new temporary factory was turning
out Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, i'm quantities of about 60,OO0 bottles

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the eustachian
tube. When this tube is inhamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear.
ing, and when it is entirely. closed, deaf
ness is the result, unless the information
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ter
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh

Heartburn.

When the quantity of food taken is too
large or the quality too rich, heartburn is
likely to follow, and especially so if the
digestion has been weakened by consti-
patton. Eat slowly and not to freely of
easily digested food. Masticate the food
thoroughly. Let six hours elapse be-
tween meals and when you feel fullness
and weight in the region of the stomach
after eating, indicating that you have
eaten too much, take one of Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and
the heartburn may be avoided. For
