CAUSE OF LOCKJAW.

Lockjaw, or tetnus, is caused by
a bai]lus or germ which exists plen-
titully in street dirt. It is inactive
80 long as exposed to the air, but
when carried beneath the skin as in
wounds caused by percussion caps
or by rusty nails, and when the air
is excluded the germ IS reused to
activity and produces the most vir-
ulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger of
lockjaw avoided by applying Cham
berlain's Pain Balm freely as soon
as the injury is received. Pain
Balm is an anticeptic and causes
outs, bruises and like injuries to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the usual
!. treatment. It is for sale by FIN:

blown down. III October. 1901, a great
number Of churches and 500 houses
were destroyed. In 1895 it Numbered
for fifteen days consecutively. The
dreadful night during which Crom-
wells spirit passed has formed theme
for poet and partisan. And the great
form that "o'er pale Britannia passed"
in November, 17O3-the most terrible
in British annals-also has its endur

in London to the amount of e2,O00,-

in foods in various parts of the coun-

The Muse and Pegasus.

When in her jaunty habit goes
Mlrtilla for a canter,
My thoughts forsake the ways of prose
And run to rhyme instanter.
Behold her, how could there be
A surer inspiration?
Are not Pegasus and she
The proper combination
Her pony in my fancy seems
A V !nged beast. whose pinions
In safety bear by Dream of dreams
Across Loves wide dominions.
The slender quill wherewith I write,
Transformed, becomes feather
From Pegasus, and SO, delight
And dream are mine together.
Line upon line, the rhythmic pace
Is where Myrtilla makes it;
The song is hers whose perfect grace
To melody awakes it.
Hers be it evermore to choose
A lyric or an idyl;
And mine be it to love my muse.
And Pegasus, her bride!

partner in business, who, along with
the lady herself, was riding in the We

the ride the lover started the machine
at breakneck speed, and when the
father entreated him to stop he steer

declared he would slow up only on con-
