A Young Mother at 70.

MY mother has suddenly been
made young at 70. Twenty years of
intense suffering from dyspepsia had
entirely disabled her, until six months
ago, when she began taking Electric
Bitters, which have completely cured
her and restored the strength and
activity she had in the prime of life,

The figures go to show that the
coal miners have been getting high
wages as compared with former
years and the operators have been
making larger percentages of profit
than ever before. Nevertheless the
strike has been declared and it is the
consumer who must pay the bills
while the minor and operator divide
the profits.

Secretary Taft has declared to the
Military committee of the Senate that
young lieutenants should not bur-
den themselves with wives on their
army present pay" This order is
good as far as it goes but perhaps the
present pay might be made sufficient
for man and his family if the pre-
posterous rules requiring an officer to
have three or four times as many
clothes as ciyilian requires were
modified.

PHYSICAL HARMONY.
Therein Lies the Secret of Health
and Long Life.

Therein Lies the Secret of Health
and Long Life.
The necessity of relative harmony
throughout the entire physical system
cannot be too strongly urged. Herein
lies the chief secret of health and long
life. Manifest weakness or even pre-
dominant strength in any part opens
the avenue for the invasion of disease
and the approach of death. What can
be done for the realization and mainte-
nance of structural and vital harmony?
Space would fail us to give details
adapted to varying conditions, but the
underlying fundamental principle for
its accomplishment may be impaired
In few words. Strive to strengthen
and develop those parts of the body
which have been sighted by nature or
weakened by disease or abuse; guard
Zealously such structures and see that
they are never subjected to undue
strain or too active eXertion; neglect
not the Improvement of every part of
the economy, but seek first to improve
the weakest structures; look well to
organs of vital importance-the heart,
lungs, kidneys, etc.-and seek espe-
cially to advance their good. A fine
physique is not to be ignored, but of
far greater Importance are strong
pair of lungs. IL normal, well guarded
heart, good digestive apparatus and
functionally sound kidneys. The de
veloping and strengthening of vital
structures require more skill ana per
severance than the training Of the mus
cular system and should be conducted
with much care and diligence.

A practice that is becoming entire.
ly too common, and one which we be-
lieye is forbidden by state law, is the
distributing of various patent medi-
cine samples thrown upon porches
in doorways by travelling agents.
Some of these samples closely resem-
BILE candy and the danger lies in the
chance that children may pick up
and swallow them with perhaps ser
ious results. Some of the pain pills
and headache tablets are dangerous
to adults and should at least be kept
out of reach of children.

ago last summer, permanent communication
established between the two hemispheres by the
electric along the ocean bed, converting the
crystal basin into whispering gallery for the
peoples of the earth.
Looking backward now upon the progress of
telegraphy meanwhile, especially upon the develop
rent of the wireless agency and observing how the
ordinary happenings of the renotest parts of the
globe Immediately recorded in daily prints,
find it difficult to realize that only forty years
ago this striking feature in modern Journalism, the
foreign cable news, nonresident. The great
battles of the American Civil War were not chron-
iced in Europe till nearly two weeks after they
CURED. Their effect upon the movements OF
European diplomacy and finance was not known
in the United States for a similar period; and be-
cause of this isolation occasions of national estrange
nent and discord arose which are impossible with
The speedy interchange of communication which we
new enjoy.
Slow News Service
TN the early COS it took the average ocean mail
i boat thirteen days to make the voyage between
Liverpool and New York-seven from Liverpool
to Cape Race the half way house of the ocean high
way and six between Cape Race and New York.
This Liverpool-New York service the original
and most effective for transmitting news
paper budgets. Gradually however, boats be-
tween Queenstown and Nova Scotia reduced the
time, and the land line sped the messages quickly
TO the great publishing centers. Then the tele
graph extended to Galway, the west coast
OF Ireland, and to St. Johns, the east coast
of Newfoundland, between which ports line of
packets piled, that partly bridged the ocean gap
still farther
Yet only in part was this so, for the steamers
made only fortnightly trips, and in Newfoundland
the telegraph line ran through three hundred and
fifty miles of primal wilderness, where nightly
tempests at times played havoc with miles of wire
and suspended traffic for days. This line had cost
a million dollars to build, bride path having to
be cut through the island from west to east, every
stream bridged, and all the materials carried along
pack horses the work proceeded. The first
winter after it completed freshets and storms
carried away every bridge but one and threw down
many sections of wire and poles that eighty thou
sand dollars had to be spent in effecting repairs
the next spring.
Hence it by means certain that when
steamer reached ST. Johns from Galway her news,
however important, could be sent through to New
York; and more than the situation was saved
only by the energetic and resourceful action of the
telegra phi corps. An instance of this occurred in
June 1861, when the prompt transmission of the
important intelligence brought by the Galway liner
Prince Albert possibly averted war between England
and the Northern States. The former had just

leaden bottom, its cover thckly creased before
being put on to prevent the water entering.
and to it was fastened rod with the ships flag. AS

in search of this canister which the daring fisher
folk of the neighboring were always on the
alert for as reward of forty dollars given for
every canister brought by them to the telegraph
office within twelve hours of its being cast into the

The contents of the canister were forwarded from
the cape to ST. Johns, then across Newfoundland
by the telegraph line to Cape Ray thence by short
cable under the sea to Cape Breton and from there
by land line through the maritime Provinces and
the New England States to New York. AS a west
bound liner had six days steaming to do to reach
that port from Cape Race, the messages got there
four five days ahead of her rule, while on the
east bound trip dispatches wired on to Cape Race
within five days after her sailing could still be trans
