of the Fort Fairfield Review: Zone of
the men who breaks the roads here says
that last Sunday morning one of his
friends called him up and told him If he
didn't break out the roads he would
complain of him to the selectmen. So
he started out, only to be informed by
another neighbor that, if he drove his
snow-plow over the road Sunday, he
would prosecute him.

COAL MINING IN INDIA.
Operated in Simple and Improbable
tanner by the UnprOgressive
Natives,

Coal mining in India is physically
very different from coal mining in Eu-
rope, The very simplicity of it has
been a hindrance to progress. There
is no gas; the pits are all shallow;
one of 300 feet is considered quite a
deep pit, and many are entered by in
%clines, which the people much prefer,
as they can stroll in and out at their
pleasure. Consequently any man
thinks he is good enough to be a man
Rger, and the older pits resemble rab-
bit warrens more than anything else.
Most people would consider an out
crop 90 feet thick as good as a gold
mine, yet the genius who worked a
quarry-it cannot be called a pit
where this occurred managed to tie
the place up in a knot very soon by the
simple device of putting the spoil
ahead Of him instead of behind, This
want of capable managers is a crying
evil,

runa is surely a wonderful remedy

This is a case of catarrh ofthcstonach
which had run for twenty-five years,
according to his statement, and Peruna
has at once come to his relief, promptly
accomplishing for him morebenefit than
he had been able to find in all other
remedies during a quarter of n century.
1t stands to reason that n man Of
wealth and influence, like n Congress-
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned 10 find n cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stom-
ach, it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so.

boy since he was her little cavalier
in a far-of town in the west. ! had
congratulated her on having a boy so
thoughtful of the little things that
go to make a mothers daily routine
so much happier and lighter. ! was
glad to find that, with the growth
into manhood, he had still kept up
that beautiful way of thinking all the
while of something to help and cheer
mother.
Il see that mother gets a vacation

added, with a bright smile on his
face. This year she has been east
to visit her old home and the friends

has done her lots of good"

said. what a blessing you must be
to her. She has thanked God very
often for giving her such Il son, /

"I've thanked God many a time for
giving me such a mother" he re-
joined. 1T is a great blessing for a
boy TO have a good mother such as |

her, because she has done so much

| thought. There are many, many
children in the world, and most of
them love their mothers very dearly,
without doubt, but they are not
thoughtful of them. They take it as
a matter of course that mother
should do for them, even if she is
weary, and they often try her and
vex her in many ways, instead Of
making the days of her toll easier
and happier for her.
BY cultivating this beautiful char
acter in childhood of being thought
full of mother, the boy will not neg
lect his mother when he goes out into
the world to make a place for him
self. The interests of mother will al
ways be in his mind. He will not for
get the little attentions that make
her so happy or the small gifts that
come just at an opportnne time. II

General Payne before leaving this

seriously embarrassed for want of Of
flee room. We have rented buildings.
but cannot go on renting year after

With the purpose of making ample
and permanent provision for the post
office department, the congress caused
to be erected on Pennsylvania avenue
a nine-story granite building covering
an entire block of ground, and the de-
partment was moved into that build

years ago. Just think of it! In that
