GAVE HER PETTIC0AT
TO FREEZING CHILD
Omaha Daily News.

The world is full of iconoclasts. Per-
haps there were one or two among the
passengers in a certain Walnut Hill car.
which was proceeding downtown late yes
terday afternoon.
If so, they witnessed little scene which
quickly shattered their distorted views
of life and smiled with the angels, for
they saw leading woman of the Omaha
400 perform an act of charity the like of
which is seldom enacted.
The weather was cold. The stove in the
car was barely able to take the frost
from the air within a radius OF two feet.
The passengers shivered, and drew their
wraps closed about them.
Near the door sat a man, from whom
an Edward Markham might have drawn
inspiration for a poem of as great heart
interest as The Man With the Hoe" "
He was poorly clad, and his face bore the
stamp of fruitless struggles with the
world-resignation and despair.
On his knee he held a little child. per-

ct have little son who sings in a boys
choir in one of our prominent churches,
and he is greatly troubled with hoarse-
ness and throat weakness, and on my re-
turn home from trip l gave him few
of the tablets one Sunday morning when
he had complained of hoarseness. He was
delighted with their effect, removing all
huskiness in a few minutes, and making
the voice clear and strong.
LAS the tablets are very pleasant to the
taste, 1 had no difficulty in persuading
him to use them regularly.
"Our family physician told us they were
an antiseptic preparation of undoubted
merit and that he himself had no hesita-
ton in using and recommending Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets for any form of catarrh.
II have since met many public speak
ers and professional singers who used
them constantly. A prominent Detroit
lawyer told me that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's kept his throat in fine shape during
the most trying weather. and that he had
long since discarded the use Of cheap
lozenges and troches on the advice of
his physician that they contained so much
toIu, potash and opium as to render their
use a danger to health
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges composed of ca
tarrhal antiseptics. like Red Gum, Blood
Root. etc. and sold by druggists every
where at so cents for full treatment.
They act upon the blood and mucous
membrane and their composition and re-
markable success has won the approval
OF physicians, as well as thousands of suf-
ferers from nasal catarrh, throat troubles
and catarrh of stomach.

Grain Is wearing the Sphinx away.-Daily Pa
PERI
Exchanging one, remote, sublime,
A statement / may venture is
That you have Knocked at storm and time
For nearly forty centuries;
Mocked. yielding only to those foes
Some feet OF your capacious nose.
But now the traveller, grieving sore.
With misty eyes and clammy,
You lose the locks you had OF yore
About the time of Rameses;
And, losing you through getting rain,
sad Egypt's loss is Egypt's gain.
Hence, lest you soon may be Times spoil,
We make, as we may well, ado.
Oh! should we smear you DER with oil
Or how would an umbrella do?
Or we might deck you out, perhaps.
In ornamental oilskin wraps.
Or since we drew to you the rain.
Can scientists prepare way
Forthwith to draw 1t of again,
or turn IL, say, Sahara way,
While stll my buIdened spirit sinks
To think that we may lose the Sphinx?
To save you seems to my sad soul
A task roo big, I vow, for us;
So, RiddAa Maker, change your role,
And solve this riddle now for us.
For all I own and owe I'd give
To find the right preservative.

have never known until lately that there
was such an instrument, and then did not
know who could give me any Information
concerning II. But seeing this inquiry,
concluded to write you, as the man only
gave his initials and postoffice in asking
the question. Can you tell me where can
get one or who to write to that can give
me the desired information? You can an
swer through The Semi-Weekly journal
if il best suits you. Please accept thanks
for any information given. l take great
pleasure in reading your talks and an
swers to questions and anything else per-
tanning to the farm.
Answer-The instrument for recording
the proper density for boiling syrup is
known as the ''Baume' Hydrometer. This
testing instrument usually costs about
70 cents, and can be bought through any
large hardware house. The name of the
instrument is also called a sacchorometer.
1t is a great help to those who make cane
syrup. and gives much better results than
leaving the whole matter to taste or APP
pearance of the liquid.
Putting Lime on Pond.
r. c. s., Grassdale. Ca, Dec. Twill
you kindly tell me IL a pond needs any
thing other than draining? 1t is an upland
pond of / 1-2 acres, full Of moss and veg
etable matter. Does it need lime?
Answer-Your inquiry is somewhat in
definite, as you do not say whether you
want the use of the drained pond for Gull
tivation. or whether you are draining it
for sanitary or health purposes. If for
cultivation, il is not likely that the land
needs lime, as plenty Is doubtless present
in the soil. If for disinfectant or de-
stroyer Of malarial microbes and impuri-
ties. lime would be beneficial, lightly ap-
piled. Even this would hardly be necessa-
ry if you drained the pond during cold
weather or some time this winter.

COAL WAR.
PITTSBURG COMPANIES SAID
TO BE PREPARING FOR A
LIVELY FIGHT.

Pittsburg, March 81. --According to
story which is published by the Ga
zette, bitter rivalry is impending be-
tween the two great coal combinations
of the Pittsburg district. Executives
of the Pittsburg Coal company, with
its s64, 10000 capital, are planning
to enter tine river shipping trade in
competition with the Monongahela
River Consolidated Coal and Coke
company, with stocks and bonds Of
$40, 900, 0O0
The Pittsburg Coal company has
nine or more mines along the rivers.
All have tipples, or are in such con-
dition that with little expense their
output can be turned to the river
trade These are to be opened, accord
ing to present plans, as a retaliatory
measure against the Monongahela
River Consolidated Coal and Coke
company.
The animus for the new departure
of the Pittsburg company seems to
lie in the fact that the Monongahela
company, instead of disposing,as here
tofore, of its 1000. 900 tons of output
for rail shipment to the Pittsburg
company, did this year contract to
sell this output to Messrs. Osborne,
Sseger, Baine and others, who recent
ly formed company to supply the
lake trade. This action put the
Monongahels company practically in
competition with tine Pittsburg COM
pany in the lake markets.
While there has been an understand
ing between the two Pittsburg compa-
MES since their formation that the one
was to devote itself exclusively to the
river traffic, and the other to the rail,
it was stated on good authority today
that there is no contract to this effect.
In three months the Pittsburg Coal
company plans to have fleet of 500
barges, coal boats and flats ready for
the trade along the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers.
