InumpscreW Again IN vogue.

In olden times thumbscrews were
used to torture prisoners into confess
sion and thus gain from them secrets
that c1lly intense bodily pain would
bring forth; but this, with many other
fiendish means OF torture, was left be-
hind by advancing civilization Now,
however, it has made its appearance
again, but as a means of self-intlicted
torture, says Popular Mechanics. 1t is
the newest aid-to-beauty fad in Europe
and its mission is to squeeze the tips
of the fingers until they change from
fat and Dudgy to long and taperirg.

MAD RUN AFTER WILD TRAIN.
is Caught BY Engine After Long
Down-Grade Chase.

Word comes to-day from Copperville
near Percy, n. H., OF the narrow es
cape last night from a collision be
tween a runaway string of loaded
freight cars moving at terrific speed
and the Portland Montreal express
which left here at p. m. with 200
passengers aboard.
After missing the passenger train by
less than half a minute the freight
cars. running down grade for eighteen
miles. most of the way at an eight
milc.an-hour clip, were caught by a
locomotive after one OF the most haz-
ardous chases ever recorded.
At IL o'clock. just as the last car OF
the Night Flyer on the Grand Trunk.
bound for Montreal. had passed Cop

cars loaded with pulp wood and with
out a locomotive, which had broken
loose on a siding two miles away, shot

ger train bound north, and gathering
speed every minute, plunged along
toward Portland.
At Berlin, five miles away. big mo-
gul engine with steam up happened to
be on a siding. The operator at Cop
perville wired: Look out; runaway
freight coming"
The last click Of the message had
hardly been received when the run
away. going at a mile and a half a
minute. rushed past the Berlin station.
The engineer and fireman were in the
cab of the mcsul. They knew the
train was a runaway before the tele
graph operator could tell them.
The big engine snorted and trem-
bled as the throttle was pulled wide
open and she fairly rose from the rails
as she struck the main track.
For ten miles south of Berlin il Is

three mile uphill stretch until Shell

reached, where the steep down grade
begins again.
The only hope of the pursuers was
to catch thief reight before IL reached
the heights at Shelbourne
Fast as the runaway went. the big
locomotive. impelled by steam as well
as gravity. went faster, but the gain
was tantalizingly slow. Several times

Its tremendous momentum scarcely

pushed doggedly up the hill. AS the
freight's speed began TO lessen the mo-

From 100 yards the freight's lead
dwindled TO fifty. then 10 ten. and at
last. when the runaway was starting
down hill again. the fireman hitched
the engine on and signaled for the en-
gineer to put the air brakes on his
wheels.
One hundred yards further along the
train was stopped. and a wreck ana
maybe a collision had been averted.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has RevoIutlonlzed
the Treatment of Skin Diseases

Nothing in the history of medicine
has ever approached the success of
the marvellous skin remedy known as
poslam, which, it is safe to say, has
cured more cases of eczema and skin
diseases than any remedy ever offer
ed for these ills.
The success of poslam is not at all
surprising when it is considered that
even a very small quantity applied to
the skin stops itching Immediately
and cures chronic cases in two weeks.
The very worst cases Of eczema, as
we'll as acne, herpes, letter, piles, salt
rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly
scalp and every form of itch, yield to
II readily. Blemishes such as pimples
red noses, muddy and infiamed skin
disappear almost Immediately, when
poslam is applied, the complexion be-
ing cleared overnight
Every druggist keeps both the so
cent size (for minor troubles) and the
50 jar, and either of these may be OBJ
tanned in Bennington at w. l.. Gokays
as well as other reliable drug stores.
But no one is even asked to pur-
chase poslam without first obtaining
an experimental package which will
be sent by mail, free of charge, upon
request, by the Emergency Laborator-
les, so West Twenty-flfth street, New
York City.
