WHY 1T is so.
The Change of Season and Why II Is
Dangerous.

All disease is due to a rundown con-
clifton of the body, unhealthy tissue,
blood poisoned with impurities, and
general weakness.
While we recommend Father John
Medicine for a number of ailments-in
the cure Of which it has always been
successful. as those who endorse it tell
you--you must understand and re-
member that all these ills are of the
same kindred or family; that they all
come from the same source or cause.
The principle of this medicine is;
simple. 1t furnishes the food that the
body requires, and strengthens each
organ so that it can do it's work-that
is how the system is cleared of the i'm
purities and poisonous waste matter.
and it supplies bodily warmth and
vitality.
It's ingredients are the same kind Of
food and nourishment that blood and
tissue are made Of-pure and whole
sCme.
That is how it builds tissue, builds
up the body, and makes strength
prevents disease, cures disease, and
restores the strength lost through
disease.
1t is the best spring tonic ever pre-
sCribed. Remember, not Il patent
medicine. and free from opium, NOR
phine, chloroform, cocaine, or other
poisonous drugs or acids. If your

Few cities of its size in the country
possesses 50 many stores with plate
glass windows as Augusta. 1t is a re-
| markable fact that on Water street
there are just 116 stores having win
dows of plate glass. On the east side
of the street from the Purinton block
to the factory boarding house Ga stores
revel in the luxury of plate glass:
while on the west side from Augusta
Beef Cos establishments to the rail-
road bridge there are 40 stores thus
fitted. on the east side of the street
from the lower end to the City hotel
there are only three stores having or
binary glass in their windows. On the
other side of the street, between the
Opera House and the Kinsrnan drug
store only one store has the common
windows, If the two fruit stores, one in
the Opera House block and one under
the Cony House, are excepted. because
plate glass cannot be used to 30 good
advantage in opening and closing the
windows of these fruit storess as can
windows of common glass. And again
it may be noted that before the fruit
men took these stores the windows
were of plate. All of the ZIG stores
enumerated have two windows and
some of them more notably Sherburne
& Dailey's, which has five. It is safe
to assume, therefore, that several
thousands of dollars are invested in
plate glass in this city, at least $4,000
and possibly $4,000. If there is another
place in Maine that can show such
record as this it is not known to any
one in Augusta.

Although the news comes from New

Muscular Soreness.

As the result of over-exertion and
exposure to heat and cold, or from
whatever cause, may be treated success
fully by the timely application of st.
Jacobs Oil. A thorough rubbing is
necessary. The Oil should be applied
vigorously for at least twenty minutes,
two or three times daily, when all pain.
soreness, stiffness will be removed in
twenty-four hours. 1t will also
strengthen and harden the muscles.
Football players, gymnasts and all attn
letes will find st. Jacobs Oil superior to
any other remedy for outward spplica-
ton, for the reason that its action is
more rapid and its effect permanent.
Thousands of people all over the world
use and recommend st. Jacobs Oil for
muscular soreness. A twenty-five cent
bottle is quite sufficient to prove its
efficacy. In cases where muscular sore
ness is complicated with any disease
which requires an Alternative Vogeler'
Curative Compound should be taken.
This prepared by the proprietors of st.
Jacobs Oil, Baltimore, Md, who will
send sample free on application.

LAYING A CABLE.
Materials Required for the COnstruc-
tion of the New Pacific Line.

Materials Required for the COnstruc-
tion of the New Pacific Line.
For the manufacture of the proposed
Pacific cable-the largest In the world
an enormous amount of material will
be required. 1t is estimated that there
will be needed 1889 tons Of copper wire,
1890 tons of gutta percha, 1890 tons Of
jute yarn, 1900 tons of compound and
tar and 1900 tons of steel wire. The
laying Of the cable will take four spe-
cially constructed ships and a staff Of
1000 electricians, cable engineers, etc.
The rate of laying a cable, in the alb
sence Of unforeseen difficulties, is about
seven nautical miles an hour, and In a
couple of thousand fathoms Of water
the cable takes as long as three hours
to sink to the bottom. When a cable is
paid out 1t runs over wheel at the
stern of the ship, having to pass on its
way from the tank where 1t has been
coiled through a dynamometer, which
tells the strain to which it is being sub
jected.
As soon as all the cable on board a
cable ship has been paid out the end Is
sealed carefully and attached to a rope,
the other end of which is attached to a
buoy and dropped into the sea. The
vessel then returns to port for more
cable, with which she steams OFF again
to the scene Of operations, picks up the
buOyed end, carefully splices 1t to the
end Of the new section which she has
brought out and goes on with the lay
ing as before.
To land a cable some interesting
preparations are made. Sheaved wheels
are anchored on shore and around them
line is passed and carried back to the
cable ship. To this line the end Of the
cable to be landed is attached and float
ed ashore, buoyed up on inflated rubber
bags. The land end Of cable is con-
siderably larger than the part which ia
submerged. Once on shore 1t is drawn
up the beach to its proper inland posi-.
ton and secured.
The new Pacific cable will be 5000
miles long. No other cable in the world
is half as long. When the new cable is
laid there will be sufficient length Of
submarine cables in the world to girdle
the earth at the equator eight times
and something to spare, or enough tC
reach two-thirds Of the way to the
moon.

The dishonesty of native servants Is
proverbial among the English and
American residents in India, the Phil
ippines, China and Japan. Consequent
ly, If one is living in any one Of these
countries, and a friend were to send a
basket Of fruit by his native servant,
or shopkeeper sent one of his EN-
had purchased, the servant or employe
after delivering whatever he had
brought would hand the recipient a
small slip Of paper upon which appears
in the handwriting of the sender the
number and description Of the articles
sent with a polite request that, in case
you found the articles as stated, you
sign the slip of paper and deliver it
back to the servant. This form of re-
ceipt is "chit."
The sender also asks in the "chit"
that in case the articles are not deliver
ed as described you will state the same,
and hand the 'chit' back to the ser
want to deliver to his master or mis-,
tress. The "chit" is to enforce honesty
on the part of the servant, and to pre-
vent him from stealing all or a part of
the articles intrusted to his care. If
the sender should neglect to send a
''chit" along with the articles that he
has sent the chances are about one to
million against you ever receiving
them. An oversight of this sort on the
part Of the sender would appear in the
nature Of a windfall to the average
East Indian servant, who would re-
gard the articles placed In his hands for
safe conduct and delivery as his legiti-
mate prey.
Such was the original meaning and
application of the word "chit," a cor.
ruption of a Hindostanee word which
has the same meaning as receipt" in
our own tongue, but, as In all similar
cases. the term "chit" has been broad
ened In Its application so that to-day II
has other meanings. In addition to the
foregoing "chit" Is also sort Of prom
issory note to meet small obligations
A man takes drink at the bar, and moi
having the money to pay for it he gave
the bartender "chit." A man borrow,
a dollar from friend and gives him g
"chit" Thus a "chit" is in the nature
of a bond that enforces honesty wher
ever 1t Is In use. 1t is really praise
worthy institution, as every person wht
has lived in the Orient will admit.

their hiding place in the ship a few Of
these butterflies emerged and few
