WOMAN SICK TWELVE YEARS Wants Other Women to Know How She Was Finally Restored to Health.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from nativeroots and herbs, contains no narcotic or harmful drugs, and to-day holds the record of being the most successful remedy for female ills we know of, and thousands of voluntary testimonials on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn,Mass., seem to prove this fact.

Decorations of the Daughters.

The aggregate value of the jewels worn by the Daughters of the American Revolution at a reecnt reception in Washington is said to have exceeded $500,000. Estimates of jewels are always liable tp large reductions; but it may be said that if the fathers of the revolution could at certain periods of the struggle have had $50,000 worth of ammunition at their command they could have shortened the war by two years or more.—Boston Transcript.

NEWEST AFRICAN RAILROAD LINE

The Only Railroad as Yet'Constructed In the Uganda Protectorate The Newly Opened Busoga Line.

The Busoga railroad, recently opened by Goveipor Jackson, is the first built actually in Uganda, for the Uganda railroad in British East Africa, from Mombass to Port Florence on Lake Victoria Nyanza, does not come within the protectorate after which it is named. The Busoga line, which cost $900,000, follows the course of the Nile from the Ripon Falls, and connects Lake Victoria Nyanza with Lake Chioga, a distance of 61 miles. It will greatly assist the cotton industry.

DID THEIR WORK WELL

OLDTIME LOCOMOTIVES WERE SMALL BUT EFFECTIVE. Make .Somewhat Ludicrous Comparl* son With the Monsters of TodayTrain Crews Had Little Time for Gossip on Their Runs. What a contrast between the old freighters of the ’sos and the monster

were first introduced into New England. - Take, for instance, the Gardiner and compare it with the first locomotive to turn a wheel in Maine, In 1836, on the old Bangor, Oldtbwn & Veazie railroad, the fourth road in New England. These little engines were built in England, had one pair of driving wheels, one pair of leading wheels, no cab, pilot or headlight. They weighed about- six tons and could run only in one direction, as they had no reversing mechanism. The rails were of wood, which were later improved by bolting iron straps on them. The Gardiner was a great improvement over those engines, and repre-. sen ted the latest in locomotive construction at that date. It was built at Taunton, Mass., by Fairbanks, later known as the Taunton Locomotive Works, in 1854, with cylinders 15x22 2__ M j C fnr ony» ocLUQ D"IOUL urlV"rßj lui bee & Portland Railroad Company, better known by its later name of Portland & Kennebec. It was designed for freight service, and for many years hauled freight between Augusta and Portland. Finally the old machine was put in the passenger service and pulled the night Pullman. Eventually it became attached to the work train service, and was finally sold in the late 70’6 to the Canada Southern Railway. 4 When first put in service this locomotive was equipped with the old hook motion, which was later changed to the Stevenson link motion. The Gardiner was a showy engine, resplendent with brass work and fancy fainting. On the tank was a landscape representing a train of cars crossing a long arched bridge. The drivers were painted red, and there was an ornamepttrt molding under the eaves of the cab. The Gardiner’s drivers were only one inch less in diameter than the large B. & M. Mallet locomotive. The Gardiner weighed about 35 tons, and the modern engine 228 tons. The Gardiner’s cylinders were 15x22 inches, while the 1291’s cylinders are 22x80 inches high pressure, and 35x30 inches low pressure. The Gardiner had two pairs of drivers, the 1291 has •lxIn the method of firing and in the amount of work the fireman had to do there was a vast difference. The Gardtadt’s fireman had to help.wood up the tank before starting and several times on the run, when the whole crew helped. The cylinders were oiled from the outside, and cylinder cocks had each to be opened and closed from the outside. The cocks were opened while standing at a station. Atfer the engine was under way and the condensed water freed from the cylinders, the fireman had to make his way along the running board to the cylinders, reach down and shut each cock on both sides of the engine, and return to the cab, where he was kept busily employed In throwing wood into the furnace and between spells getting the wood forward on the tank to be easily reached. When the cylinders needed oiling be

locomotives of today. The early locomotives could haul about 15 of the small freight cars of that time, while the modern locomotive can run away with 80 or more of double the capacity of the old cars. In the 50’s locomotives had been considerably developed from the crude machines on wheels of the 30’s, when they

would go out front again when they <were descending some grade, while steam was shut off, drain the oil cups and pour the melted tallow into the cylinder cups. In a high wind, or on cold days In winter, when the running board wab icy, this was a dangefous task. Those little, old, eight-wheelers performed well their part. Many an old engineer, who has handled a throttle on the old wood burners, Is still in harness, handling the modern locomotives, but if you should ask him what was his favorite engine, the chances are he would assure you one of those old engines he handled in former years would “lick the spots off anything ever made of her Inches," and they were smarter, very much smarter, according to their size, than the heavy machines of today. Less machinery and consequently less friction.

SAVING AN ALPINE RAILROAD

Massive Stone Walls So Constructed as to Make Avalanches Jump Over Tracks. The new railroad that will pass through the Loetschberg tunnel, in the Bernese Alps, is protected from avalanches by great fortifications. At the southern entrance to the nlne-mile long tunnel a massave stone wall has been built, 30 feet high, and 7 or 8 feet thick at the base. • Behind and above this wall is a kind of trough. When a descending avalanche strikes this depression ft will be diverted upward, and clearing the railway below in a parabolic curve, will descend into the Lonza torrent beyond. The snow swept down by avalanches in this region sometimes attains a depth of 80 feet In February,' 1908, a building of the railroad works was struck by the rush of air set up by a snowslide, and was swept bodily into the river below. There were eleven men in the building, and all of them lost their lives.— Youth’s Companion.

GUARD RAIL

Have you ever noticed a atrip of rail attached to a part of the railway lines just where there is a sharp curve? For the information of those not in the business, it may be stated that this rail is called the guard rail, and enables the wheels of the train to maintain a grip on the metals where the curve is.

Umbrella Bath.

"Washing umbrellas a specialty,” was the red-letter notice printed On cards distributed by a West side laundress. When seen she carried a bundle of umbrellas which customers had yielded up fearfully for a thorough scrubbing. , “Why should umbrellas be sent to the washtub?” she was asked. "Don’t they get washed often enough by rain and snow?” “Often enough,” she said, “but not the right way. At the end of winter every umbrella that has seen much service is beginning to look shabby. What it needs is a hot soapy bath. That is the kind it gets at my house, with soft brush massage thrown in to rub the spots off and an application of glycerine to the ribs to prevent rusting. "An umbrella that has undergone that treatment and been hung out open in the sunshine to dry will look like new.”

Birds' Cemetery.

At the health resort of Beelitz, Germany, is a quaint birds* cemetery taken care of by the patients Of the sanitarium. It often happens that the singing birds of all kinds which fly about - the sanitarium strike against the glass windows and are killed. The patients bury these birds in the little cemetery and every bird has its grave adorned with a monument of some kind, sometimes even a little cross la provided to mark the spot—Popular Mechanics.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES CUTICURA REMEDIES

“Four years ago I had places break out on my wrist and on my shin which would itch and burn by spells, and scratching them would not seem to give any relief. When the trouble first began, my wrist and shin Itched like poison. I would scratch, those places until they would bleed before I could get any relief. Afterwards the places would scale over, and the flesh underneath would look red and feverish. Sometimes it would begin to itch until It would waken me from my sleep, and I would have to go through the scratching ordeal again. Our physician pronounced it “dry eczema.” I used an ointment which the doctor gave me,, but it did no good. Then he advised me to try the Vuticura Remedies. As this trouble has been in our family for years, and is considered hereditary, I felt anxious to try to head it off. I got the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills,' and they seemed to be just what I needed. "The disease was making great headway on my system until I got the Cuticura Remedies which have cleared my skin of the great pest. From the time the eczema healed four years ago, until now, I have never felt any of its pest, and I any thankful to the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which certainly cured me. I always use the Cuticura Soap for toilet, and I hope other sufferers from skin diseases will use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment” (Signed) Irven Hutchison, Three Rivers, Mich., Mar. 16, 1911. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to “Cuticura,” Dept. L, Boston.
