Thanking Carnegie for That Offer
oF n MiIIiop

New York, May n.-Representatives of
the American Society Of Civil Engineers,
the American Society Of Mechanical En-
gineers, the American Institute Of Mining
Engineers, the American Institute Of
Electrical Engineers and the Engineers
club met last night at the house of the
civil engineers to discuss Andrew Carne.
gie's offer Of $1,000, 900 for q building to
be used as joint home for the societies.
The engineers are lukewarm about the
offer. There was a warm discussion just
before adjournment over n resolution OF
thanks to Mr.. Carnegie and a telegram
which II was proposed to send TO him 4
London. 1t was finally decided to appoil
a committee Of fifteen, three from each
of the societies represented, to confer over
Mr.. C~arnegie's offer and secure from each
society a vote or the proposition.

Peruna is called n tonic. Peruna does
not give strength by stimulating the

1t gives strength by preserving the

1t gives strength by converting the

The Steam Shovel.

Perhaps the most interesting thing in
our village at the present time is the
steam shovel working its way through
the hill back of the engine house. 1t is
an intensely interesting machine, apart
from anything connected with the future
prospects of the town, and when the two
are taken together the interest is more
than doubled. The machine itself is an
entirely up to date one, and it is Won
derful what an immense amount OF
earth can be handled with it in given
time. With it car can be loaded with
more than three cubic yards of earth in
one minute, a train of ten ears in ten
minutes. The shovel travels from the
car to the pit, fills itself, goes back to
the car and dumps its load in sixty Sec
onds. We are able to realize somewhat
the progress thus far as cut has been
| made along the whole side Of the hill
wide enough for one roadway, and at
this rate in little more than months
time the hill will be entirely gone.
When the work was first begun the Sc
lectmen found it necessary to temporar-
ilv close the road back of the engine
house and open one across the pond IN
order to reach the most easterly part of
the village, but that difficulty has been
already overcome and the road is again
open for travel, with some little incon-
venience it is true, but with the knowl'
edge that the Inconvenience are rapidly
growing less as the work goes on. Our
citizens seem perfectly satisfied with the
prospect that in very short time all the
dangers in that part of our village will
be entirely abated. An interesting feat
ure of the filling of Back pond is the
forcing up of the muck from the bottom
of the pond. In one place some little
distance from the outlet the depth OF the
mud was found by sounding to be forty
feet or more, and the gravel being heav-
Ter than the mnck went to the bottom
and forced the mud out of the water, and
as soon as the water drained out OF it 1T
became comparatively dry, so that 1t
bulged up with the ice on top OF 1t as
much as four or five feet, covering sur
face as large as would be sufficient to set
quite large house. Now that we are
beginning to see tangible results in the
commencement of improvements which
we have so long waited for it goes with
out saying that every citizen should be
willing to put up patiently with the nee
essary inconvenience that are always
incident to such work. And surely tie
authorities should heartily cooperate
with the railway officials in doing every
thing in their power to facilitate Work
which will be lasting benefit to the
town and therefore to each one OF us
individually.

Letter to d. p. Mackenzie

iMuHd OHU. tFWOHt.
Dear Sir: You'd strike it rich if you
could find way to shave your custom
ers in less time, for less cost, and make
the shave last twice or three times as
long.
You wouldn't shave the same person
so many times, nor get so much of his
money but the whole town would he
talking about you, and everybody would
come to you for shave.
Devoe lead and zine is exactly that in
paints. 1t takes fewer gallons, and it
wears longer. Costs less for the job,
and you don't have to do it again for
years and years-six years at least.
"Fewer gallons; wears longer" Takes
fewer gallons to paint house with De-
voc Lead and Zinc than with mixed
paints; and it wears longer than mixed
paints or lead and oil.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co,
New York.
