The chief train dispatcher handles the

Gus stations. decides what freight trains
shall be run, and is in immediate charge
of the countless details that arise in the
operation of trains. The duties Of the
superintendent and the trainmaster keep
them away from the Office about half the
time, travelling up and down the line,
stopping overnight at important stations
and terminals. The chief dispatcher is
always at headquarters. and Is the man

.ATARR

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint Is seldom met
with. Il IS customary TO speak OF CatarTh
as nothing more serious than 4 bad cold,
simple Inflammation Of the nose and
throat. It IS, IN fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; If not at first, It
very soon becomes so.
The blood IS quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions. and the poison through
the general circulation IS carried TO all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. s. S. S.
does. It Cleauses the blood Of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal seCretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.

The well known brown pigment
exile: sep:1 ID obtained from a ten
armed octopus found principally in the
Mediterranean apd more especially at
the head Of the Adriatic sea, where 1t
Ia caught by the natives for food.
The sepia Is contained In bag and
Ia really the black fluid Of which we
have all read as being discharged by
the creature to cover its escape. Some
naturalists say that the fluid is brown
ish, which becomes more credible when
we know that this Is the source Of
sepia.
The pigment is really powder which
dissolves in water; its strength may be
estimated by the fact that it will color
1000 times its own bulk. When the
octopus has been killed, the sack or
bag is removed and dried to prevent
putrefaction. The sepia is treated with
ammonia or caustic soda, washed and
dried. 1t s enc of the most durable Of
paints. except when fully exposed to
the fierce rays of the sun, and an even
surface can be obtained with it more
easily than with most paints. Sepia
has been obta ined from a fossil cuttle-
fish thousands of years old and found
to be quite good for paint.

F. NJ. Livingston OF Springfield,
Mass, a travelling salesman for a
wholesale liquor firm, was much in
teresued in the story Of the raid on
the ST. Adams agency. at the st.
Albans hotel he is said to have told
some interesting things about the
way liquor agencies are conducted
under Nermonts proLibltory law.

city was to purchase about $1,000

business went to a Boston concern

Mr.. Livingston significantly. If his
are true 1t is about time to

NEW TEN COMMANDMENTS.

The following new ten command
ments is worthy your perusal:
1. Thou shalt not 60 away from
home to do thy trading, nor thy son,
nor thy daughter.
IL. Thou shalt patronize thy home
merchants, also the printer. and they
shall patronize thee. Make haste
therefore, for that which will cause
the contenance to shine with intelli-
gence and bring prosperity to both.
III. Thou shalt employ thine own
mechanics that they may not be driv'
en- from their homes to find bread for
their little ones. Thou shalt also con-
slider him as thy neighbor, above all
him that dwelleth in strange town.
". Thou shalt not ask credit as
thy gods cost much money and the
merchants brain is burdened with
bills. His children clamor daily for
bread, and his wife abideth at home
for lack of such raiment as adorneth
her sister. Blessed, yes thrice bles-
sed is the man that pays cash "
V. Thou shalt t ask for reduced
prices for thine influence" for b
hold the guile Is ia thine heart and
the merchant readeth it like an open
book. He lausheth thee to scorn and
shouteth to his clerks ha, hal
vi. Thou shalt do whatever ieth
in thy power to encourage and pro-
mote the welfare Of thine own town
and thine own people.
VII. Thou shalt not suffer the
voice OF pride to overcome thee and if
other towns entice thee consent thou
not, for thou mayest be deceived.
VIII. Thou shalt spend thine
earnings at home that they return
whence they came and give nourish.
ment to such as may come after thee.
TX. Thou shalt not bear false wit
ness against the town wherein thou
dwelleth, but speak we'll Of it to all
men.
X. Thou shalt keep these com.
mandments and teach them to thy
children to the third and fourth gen.
erations that they may be made tc
flourish and grow in plenty when
thou art laid to rest with thy fathers.

Never forget that women are made

out Of boys; that IL you are worth

and If you are worthless boy you
will be a worthless man, and the best
educated men and women once did not
know "A, B. c." that all the things
which you are learning had to be
learned by them; that the efforts spent
in making others happy will in some
way add to your own happiness; that
life Of usefulness and helpfulness Is
worth many times more than life of
pleasure.
