The Word ssRargiDg.o

The word Raging is more common
In England than in this country, even
If the custom is not. An English paper
asserts that rag" is not slang word,
but is a real old verb, also to be found
In use among Icelanders, meaning to
banter or irritate. In Lincolnshire and
doubtless other counties to provoke a
boy is called getting his rag out
"Bullyrag" is an elaboration of the ele
mentary term, and here also the mean
ing is clear. A ragamuffin originally
meant q kind of demon.

KILLS GERMS OF CArARRH.
HyomeI Goes to the Root of the Disease and
Makes Astonishing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines and SOCIAL
ed system tonics. Under such treat
ment the germs of the disease will
stiGl live in the air passages and in
crease and multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh, kill
ing the germs in the air passages, it
enters the blood with the oxygen,
destroys the microbes in the blood
and effectually drives from the sys-
tenn all traces of catarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials have
been given as to the astonishing
cures made by this remedy. j. S. Nj
gent, treasurer of the American
Union Life Insurance company, of
New York City, writes: ''Hyomei has
completely cured my daughter of ca
tarrh, from which she has been suf-
fering for years"
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered as to the powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact
that T. H. Thomas agrees to refund
the money to every customer who
can say Hyomei has not cured them.
Now is good time to cure your
catarrh.

Severe Attack of Grip Cured by One Bottle

Severe Attack of Grip Cured by One Bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
"When l had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) actual
ly cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy" says
Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville, n. Y. ''This is the
honest truth. 1 at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
a teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come
on at night l would take dose and
it seemed that in the briefest inter
val the cough would pass off and 1
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly L had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because i had never tried it
for such a purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe, and / had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

SEVERAL WAYS To PUT
ENGINE OUT OF RUNNING

$40 the man who knows his bust
ness" said an engineer, lit is not diff
ficult to put an engine out of the bust
ness if he don't want anybody to use
her in times of strikes. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that an engine is pow
erful looking monster. there are many
places about it where the removal of
little burr of the size of the end of
your finger will put it out of order,
and an expert will be puzzled for
hours to discover the reason.
Half bar on soap will kill loco
motive. packet of washing com
pound will do it just as effectively.
Either one dropped into the water tank
wilI be sufficient to turn the water in
to suds,. and you can't get up steam
| to save your life.
another easy bit of mischief that
| is being practiced in strikes is to
slide up to a locomotive when she is
at the station and place a bolt on the
under piston guide. The first revolu-
ton brushes it against the cylinder
between it and the knuckle of the
piston. The trouble is, however that
| it won't crush, but tears out the whole
tside
There is IA small valve used to per-
NIT the escape of air when the brakes
are released. 1t is no difficult job, es-
peeially at night to put little plug
in this valve. The air is not strong
enough to eject it and as a result the
set wheels slide along until they are
lfiat-footed.
a pinch or two of emery on the
journal of a driving wheel will put
| it out Of commission in half stroke.
1.-The dangerous plan of mixing ex-
plosives with the coal is seldom fol-
lowed. 1t knocks the engine out of
working order, but the explosion is
likely to injure the engineer or fire
man and with them usually the ma
chinists or boilermakers have no quar-
rel. There are many intricate work
ing parts about the engine that can
be thrown out of adjustment by some
obstruction, or by the application Sc
cretly of emery that will simply wear
the pieces until they no longer work
together
