Triumphs of Modern Suraery.

Triumphs OF Modern Surgery.
Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery.
Organs are taken out and scraped
and polished and put back, or
they may be removed entirely;
bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied
to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before inflammation
sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in
one third the time required by
the old treatment. Chamber
lain's pain balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an anti
septic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain
and soreness. Keep a bottle of
Pain Balm in your home and it
will save you time and money,
not to mention the inconven-
fences and suffering which such
injuries entail. For sale by
VIM F. Fee.

The Republic of Canada.

Twenty years ago 20 per cent Of the
people Of Canada would have vel
coined the annexation Of the Domin-
ion to the United States. Ten years
ago only 10 per cent Of the men who
think thought seriously of such a
move, and to-day no one ever men
tons the matter at all.

ers dreamed Of the Republic of Cana.

Canada had cast off the cable that
moors her to the Motherland and had
blossomed out as a nation.

the United States and Of Canada will
grow more friendly and pleasant as
the years go by, because of the whole
sale swapping of citizens now going

NOISE OF A MOVING TRAIN

Engineers Are Not Disturbed by tie
Rattle of Cars Over the Rails.
The locomotive engineer was talking
about his run. He maintained that,
with the roar and rumble of the en-
CINE directly beneath him and of the
train laundering behind, he had no
trouble in hearing what his fireman
on the other side of the cab said to
him, and the fireman could understand
and answer. The noise Of the train
seems to be something extra accord
ing to him, to which he has become so
accustomed that it does not interfere
in any way with his ordinary faculties.
1t appeared, from his remarks, to be
like dull clatter of numerous type
writer's in big Office, which never in
terferes with speech Or thought once
person has become accustomed to
the noise. He asserted that he knew
Of old engineers who had become stone
deaf when they were not in the cab,
and their friends had to yell at them
to make themselves understood But
as soon as the veterans stepped into
the engine and got the rattle of the
train in their ears they could hear the
ordinary conversational voice, despite
the thunder of the machinery and the
wheels AS soon as the train stopped
they were deaf again for that interval,
only to be right as soon as the pande
monium Of the wheels shook up their
aural openings. Dispatch.

little used for light and the fans are
so generally resorted to in large cities
that this demand equalizes things to a
very great measure.
What is probably the latest thing
in this line is the little thing shown
In the accompanying cut, the compact
ness and economy Of which are it's
chief recommendations. The construc-
ton Of this fan is very simple and the
cost therefore slight, and has the ad-
vantage that it can be screwed direct
" into the socket Of an ordinary lamp,
consuming the same amount Of current
as sixteen candle-power lamp. The
speed of the blades is said to be 1000
revolutions per minute. By the use of
a plug and cord the fan can be placed
in any desired position.

Sounds sweeter as the years roll by.
