BREAKING IN A LOCOMOTIVE.
Tried First in Yards, Later Sent Out
on Regular Runs.

From the Chattanooga Times.
Few persons outside the realm Of the
operating department Of a railroad know
anything Of the ofttimes vexatious pecu-
liarities and not infrequently seemingly
intelligent capers of locomotive when
being broke to its mission in the world.
Each new engine must undergo a set
training or test before it is put into actual
service. and each locomotive which has
gone through the shops for repairs is
given a certain working out before 1t is
returned to its erstwhile duties.
Some locomotive manufacturing COM
panies complete their engines ready for
actual service before sending them out;
others ship them to the destination In a
partial "knockdown" state and they are
completed in the shops Of the road to
which they are delivered.
When q new engine is taken into shop
1t il turned over to a mechanic whose duty
1t is to fit It up and make all connections
and adjustments Of the interior mocha
nism. This completed, the engine is turn
ed over to q fireman, who steams 1t up
and blows 1t off in order to remove any
grease that might have accumulated in
the boiler or any such foreign substance
in service. The engine is then turned
over to an engineer, whose duty it Is to
break it in. The engine is steamed up
again. and II it will run Is taken for a lit
tie tryout about the yard.
The science Of locomotive building has
been developed to such a fine point that
there is little danger now of an engine
''bucking' on its first trial. The main
feature in the test is to see that there is
no heating in the journals or rod brasses
II there Is no heating the engine is run
about the yards for about half a day and
the steam is again blown from the boiler.
The engine Is then steamed up and taken
for long run on the main line. If during
this test there are no capers cut the en-
CINE is sent out for its first trip with
about 500 tons to draw. If it runs all
right the tonnage is gradually increased to
95O TONS The tonnage depends greatly
upon the size of the engine. The average
engine of today will draw about $50 tons
on a mountainous road and from 100 to
1 800 tons over q level haul. The test
speed Is from one to twenty miles an
hour.
Heating is one of the principal diseases
of an engine, and it is this feature the
engineer looks to more than anything else.
The mechanical sense OF the engineer is
so developed that he can detect the least
de feet about his engine.
John Miller. who is the locomotive
buster" for the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railroad Company, breaks
on an average twenty engines each month.
He has been breaking engines for this
company for the last five years.

but for all obstinate hang-on-
coughs due to laryngial or bron-
chial irritation and kindred affec-
tons of the throat, which, if neg
lected or badly treated. are likely
to lead up to consumption, the
Discovery" can be relied upon
to produce the best curative re-

The Golden Medical Discov-
cry is. from its tonic and spc-
cific curative control over mucous

curing Indigestion. dyspepsia,
weak stomach and Liver COM

ceration of the stomach and

been cured by it; also obstinate
chronic 'diarrllea.
In addition to all the foregoing
not the least valuable of the mar
velously eficacious properties
possessed by the Discovery" IS
the unequaled regulating and
strengthening effect exerted by it
over the hearts action. 1t has
made some wonderful cures of
very pronounced valvular and
other affections of that organ.

cure of blotches, pinples, erup-

other skin affections, in all Of
which it has made remarkable
cures: also in scrofulous sores
and old. open ulcers. or eating

WHICH publish on edCH DOttle-Wl
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prcscrlp-
ton contains no alcohol. and no
narcotics or other harmful or
habit-forming drugs, as will be
seen from its published ingredi-
ents. 1t contains only such ma
tive. medicinal roots as are most
highly recommended by leading
medical writers and practitioners
of all the several schools of prac-
tice, for the cure of womans deli
cate and peculiar ailments. 1t is
safe for women to take in any
condition of the system. as it as
sists Nature in restoring the
healthful action Of all the organs
distinctly feminine.
NATURES OWN CURE. In
fact, "Favorite Prescription" is
Natures own cure for the many
arrangements and weaknesses
peculiar to women. 1t is advised
for no other diseases.
If you are a weak, tired, ner-
vous. overworked, broken-down,
pain-racked woman, either young,
old or middle-aged. suffering
from frequent headaches, back
aches. dizziness CT fainting spells,
gnawing or distressed feeling in
stomach, perhaps see imaginary
specks. or dark spots floating be-
fore the eyes. have dragging
down or heavy feeling in lower
abdomen, or pelvic region, with,
perhaps, pelvic catarrh, or other
symptoms of functional or or
ganic affections of the distinctly
feminine organs, then you will
make no mistake if you resort to
the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. The most ad
vanced medical science knows no
better agents for the cure of all
such diseases than are happily
and tremendously combined in
this widely-famed Prescription
of DR.. Pierce.
You can't afford to accept any
secret nostrum of unknown COM
position and of questionable
merit as substitute for this pro-
fessionally Endorsed and time
tested remedy of known compo-
sition, simply that some unprin-
cipled dealer may make a little
larger profit. Don't expect it to
perform miracles but give it a
fair, persevering trial and it is
not likely to disappoint you. It
won't dissolve tumors no
medicine will. 1t will cure a
larger percentage of all durable
ailments which especially aff1iet
womankind than any other medi-
cine sold by druggists for that
purpose.
AS to DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery it has a very
large range of application, yet it
is by no means recommended as
"Cure-All." It possesses mar
velous Alternative. or blood cleans
ing, properties and is at the same
time a most invigorating tonic,
or strength giver. 1t exerts a
specific, cleansing, soothing and
healing effect upon all the lining
mucous membranes of the sys-
tenn; hence, its great curative
value in all catarrhal affections,
no matter where located.
In Chronic Nasal Catarrh, it is
