Saved by Dynamite.

Sometimes, a flaming city is saved
by dynamiting space that the fire
can't cross. Sometimes, a cough hangs
on so long, you feel as if nothing but
dynamite would cure it. u T. Gray,
of Calhoun, Ga writes: my wife had
a very aggravated cough, which kept
her awake nights. Two physicians
could not help her; SO she took DR..

her cough, gave her sleep, and finally

From Key West to Havana.

1t is ninety miles from Key West to
Havana, with railway terminus at
the former place where trains of cars
could be ferried over without break
ing bulk, making the round trip inside
of ten hours. 1t is now proposed to
build railway through part of the
Everglades and across the keys, a dis
tance altogether of 120 miles. much of
it under water, but not very deep wat.
er. These outlying islets form chain
stretching into the Atlantic. with
channels between them varying in
width from few hundred feet to sew
eral miles. In all twenty islands ale
available for the extension, but no less
than forty miles of elevated work must
be built above the water, not count
ing the trestlings between Key Largo
and the mainland. ''The Scientific
American" calls the plan the most
notable which has ever been conceived
in railway engineering. The extension
will be one of the costliest pieces of
work mile ever executed. But it is
feasible and will be worth what it costs.
W hen it is done Cuba as winter re.
fuge will be little farther off in point
of time from dwellers in this latitude
than northern Florida.

Ate Dinner High in Air.

The highest" dinner New Y ork has
ever been able to record was taken 81

1t down. Held was offered the tempt
ing sum of $125 to shin up the pole and
saw the wood off in three-foot lengths
taking a chance that might result in
his ceasing to take any further interest
in human affairs
The steeple-jack started operations
early. There wasn't much wind. and
the sunshine was enticing. He attach

nimble manner of his kind, climbed

has been engaged. The view of the
department is that cup of coffee is
good because OF the manner in which
1t is brewed, rather than from the
quality of the bean from which the
beverage is made. 1t will be appreci
ated by all persons acquainted with
the art and mystery of coffee making
that various conditions. apparently
trivial in themselves, have to be taken
into consideration in producing the
beverage.
For instance, IN the process of roast
ing the beans may he more or less dam
aged by being under or over done, and
the i.vor of the coffee thus impaired
to corresponding degree. Hence the
necessity for ideal conditions in roast
ing. Again, the effec1s of water at

Offee-making, be thoroughly and &C

principle of coffee, to which it owes its
stimulating effects, and the stimula-

acids, which are not only injurious to
health, but communicate an unpleas

The mosquito with its bite injects into our
veins malaria, yellow fever, and other fatal
troubles. The fly, with spongy feet, collects
the invisible germs of diseases, spreads
them over our food and poisons us with
typhoid, cholera and other plaques of the
human race.
Dr. Pierce, the eminent physician of Buff
falo, N. Y, says, elf each person will con-
slider his system as an army of men which
he controls as a general, and will see to its
proper provisioning and that it has plenty
of ammunition in the shape of good red
blood, he will be able to overcome the
enemy in these germs of disease" Every
healthy man has FIVE million red blood
corpuscles to every square millinieter of
blood. The best tonic for increasing the red
blood corpuscles and building up healthy
tissue is no doubt DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. This medicineehas been on
the market for over third of a century
and numbers its cures by the thousand.
Many popular patent medicines or tonics
are made up largely of alcohol and will
shrink the corpuscles of the blood and
make them weaker for resistance. What
is needed is all Alternative extract, like DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made
of roots and herbs, without the use of alco-
hol that will assist the stomach in assimi-
1ating or taking from the food such e1e-
ments as are required for the blood, also an
Alternative that will assist the activity of the
liver and cause it to throw off the poisons
in the blood. When we have accomplished
this we have put the system in fortified
condition so strong that it can repel the
germs of disease which we find every
wherein the street-cars, the shops, the
factories, the bedrooms, wherever many
people congregate, or where sunlight and
good air do not penetrate.
Accept no substitute for rGo1den Medical
Discovery There is nothing rjust as
good" for diseases of the stomach. blood
and lungs.

1t is rumored that the Atlantic Coast
Line, which now owns a majority in
terest in the Louisville & Nashville,
will lease the latter ON guarantee of
per cent. The Atlantic Coast Line
originally secured little over $780,
900 900 of the Louisville & Nashville
stock at about 1855, but it is understood
that since then it has been a liberal
buyer at much lower figures. 1t will
be possible, therefore. for the Coast
Line to lease the Louisville u Nash
vile on guarantee of per cent
since its earnings are far in excess of
that amount, and then, having a per-
petual lease, sell the stock which it
owns at much higher figures than cost;
in fact, it has been estimated that the
Coast Line could in this way ''eat it's
cake and still have it'' and make a
profit of $14 000,0 900 or SIS, 0OO. 900 cash
to go back into it's own treasury. There
are among the rumors which are pre-.
