Diamond Ink.

So called diamond ink for writing on
glass is a compound of 1uoric acid and
barium. The latter has no effect, it
being simply a white powder to give
body to the acid. The ink can be used
with a rubber hand stamp. and it
should be allowed to remain fifteen
minutes, when the barium will brush
off, leaving the design on the glass.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh Of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks Of indigestion inflanes the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin Instead Of
the juices Of natural digestion. This Is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

have been appointed to study the two

Governor LaFollette has signed
two temperance measures which
will have a far-reaching effect in
dry towns. One prohibits agents
for brewers or distillers, whether
resident agents or travelling repre-
sentatives, from soliciting orders for
beer or liquor in no-license towns
and prevents grocers, druggists and
other merchants from procuring a
stock of liquor and selling it to
patrons as agents. The other pro-
hibits drug stores in prohibition
towns from selling liquor except for
medical or medicinal purposes.
Each sale of liquor must be upon
prescription only and each sale
must be registered, the copy of the
register to be public. Violation of
these laws is punishable by can.
collation. of druggists certificates
and for second offense by closing
up the place Of business for from
three months to a year.

The Woodmen are informed.
Their high officials have told them.
The rates must be raised. The in
crease may be delayed until 1908,
but the practice of insuring for $40
or $12 a year an army of 700, 900
men cannot long endure. Mean
while those who die leave their
families provided for-which is the
redeemiug feature of cheap in
surance. 1t is all right for the
present. But if you intend to live
for twenty years or so, you should
favor scientific financial basis.
The growth of this biggest of the
fraternal orders has been phen J.
and it touches the lives of
millions of our people. 1t will be
creditable work to save it from the
rocks of discomfort that have
wrecked so many orders when the
attempt has been made to in
crease the rates.

The people of Norway are de-
termined that their recent action in
severing political relations with
Sweden shall stand. They have de-
termined on this matter, and no
power except coercion can compel
them to resume former relations
with the kingdom of Sweden. A
call is made for the meeting of the
council or governing body for June
80, when some form of government
will be decided upon, and a re-
public is generally preferred. A re-
public with a limited franchise to
both sexes-the franchise to be
based upon educational and prop
erty qualifi cations-would seem
to be an improvement upon any
monarchial form of government.

men of that little country will act

little further down the beautiful
slope is buried the man who tried

blew out the gas casts a shadow
over the bosom of the hired girl
who lit the fire with kerosene,
while in close proximity lies all that
is mortal of the old lady who kept
baking powder and strychnine on
the same shelf Of the pantry. The
dude who wore plug hat in Texas
is quiet now, and he rests by the
side of the gambler who turned the
trump from the bottom of the deck.

corset to the last hole and danced
every number at the fireman's ball,

who rode bicycle mile in two
and a half minutes. The stylish
young man who smoked a cigar

The Locomotive Fireman.

It is doubtful if there is a man on
the train who is less appreciated
than the fireman. The public shakes
hands with the conductor, who has
charge of the train, thanks the
brakeman for many little courtes-
les, bows to the baggage master who
looks after it's luggage in transit
perhaps, if it is masculine public
swears at him-trusts it's valuaples
with the express messenger and
talks long and loud of the "brave
engineer, but the fireman-he who
bends to his work and feeds the fire
that makes the steam-is never
mentioned. Sometimes a purse is
made up for the engineer. One
rarely hears of the fireman getting
a purse, but the records show that
he has performed as many deeds of
valor as the engineer. Again, if
the train leaves the track or goes
into another train, the fireman has
fewer chances to escape than any
man on the train, except perhaps
the mail clerk, shut up like rat in
cage.
When the fireman is at work, and
that is nearly all the time when
the wheels are turning, he stands
stopped over, shoveling in the fuel
or raking the Goals IN the firebox

His view ahead is obstructed, and
he cannot see the danger that may
be dashing upon him. The rattle
and roar of the machinery may
drown the engineers warning call
crash-the tender pins him to the
boiler head, and he dies a horrible
death. Standing IN the narrow
gangway peering ahead, a sudden
lurch around curve may throw
him off. Instances have been known
when the coupling between the
engine and the tank parted, and
the fireman dropped between them
to be ground to pieces. The re-
cords show that more fremen than
engineers are killed in railroad
wrecks.
About the only time the fireman
has little leisure is when the train
is running down grade. Then ''she
is shut off," steam is saved, and the
knight of the shovel climbs up to a
cushion seat and takes a breathing
spell. But even then one eye is
ahead, his hand often on the bell
cord and the other eye fastened on
the steam gauge, whose little black
hands, fuctuating back and forth,
guage his labor as well as the steam.
There is a science in feeding" an
engine that is not understood by
one not in the business. There is a
way to throw in the coal and to
empty the shovel and close the
furnace door at the same time. It
requires nice calculation that tells
how many ''scooploads' are needed
to send the hands on the gauge to
the proper figure; def handling to
keep the deck of the cab clean, and
a hund red other little things that
60 to make a skillful fireman-one
that saves money for the company
by outstanding the coal.
In the old days the fireman on
wood burners" had hard time of
it and certainly earned the small
money he received for his services,
but he had sincure compared with
the man in blue overalls and jumper
who "stokes up" one of the huge
''moguls" or ''hogs" of the present
day. These engines haul freights
and eat up coal as if it were CREASED
paper. The fireman is at work con-
tlnuously, and about the only time
he has to rest is when his train
takes a siding" to let an aristocrat-
ic passenger train pass.
