There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and eo admirably adapted
. to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but , some member of. the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache mav be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatisn. or neuralgia quieted.
The severe pain of a burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has

promptly treated before Inflamation sets
in, which insures a cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive im

when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A
sore throat may be enred before it be
comes serious. A troublesome corn may
be removed by applying it twice a day
for a week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable time
saved or a pain in the side or chest re

WOKE HIM UP AT LAST.
Bow a Sleeping Telegraph Operator Was
Aroused to Doty.
There is a g-ood story about a tele
graph operator who once worked the
land wires in the Duxbury cable office
going to sleep one night and a message
having to be sent six or seven thou
sand miles to wake him up. The oper
ator is now a practicing physician in
Cambridge, Mass., but before annexing
M. D. to his name was one of - the gilt
edge telegraphers of the country, says
a writer in Donahoe's Magazine.
One night while on duty In the Dux
bury office he fell asleep at his key.
The sleep was a sound one. The New
York operator called till out of
patience, when he sent a message to
Boston requesting the chief operator
in charge to tell Duxbury to, answer
New York. The sleeper, however, was
as deaf to Boston's "Di, Di," as to the
impatient characters flashed on from
New York.
' In the cableroom next the sleeping
operator was the cable artist. The
room was dark and he was watching
the mirror for the tiny, sparks that in
those days went to make up a message.
To him the Morse alphabet was all
Greek, so the sleeper slept on.
Seeing no other way out of - the
muddle and thinking the operator
asleep, New York called Canso in Nova
Scotia and addressed a message to the
cable operator at Duxbury. The mes
sage read:
"Go into the other room and wake up
that operator."
Canso sent it to Heart's Content in
Newfoundland; Heart's Content
rushed it across the deep to Valentia.
From there it went to London, thence
to Dover, and across the channel to
Calais and to Brest. Brest kept it
moving on to Miquelon and Miquelon
gave the cable operator at Duxbury a
unique surprise. The sleeper was then
aroused, about eleven minutes having
been taken by the grand round of the
cablegram. He tried to explain mat
ters by telling New York he was out
of adjustment. The story didn't im
press the officials as being truthful,
and in a day or two there was a vacancy
in Duxbury.
THE SOLDIER'S WORK. -
Restilars Labor the Name as Any Other
Workinjrinaui.
"Carrying a gun and shooting when
you are ordered to gtioot is a business
the same as laying brick or making a
boiler to the average regular soldier,"
said one of the privates of a company
on guard at the custom house during
the great strike, says the Chicago
Herald. "These people," he ' contin
ued, "who call themselves laboring
people, and jeer at us and insult us,
seem o forget that when .a man
enters the regular army in times ..of
peace he doesn't do it from any par
ticular motive of patriotism. It is a
business with him, and 1 it has less of
feeedom in it than any class of labor
that I know anyhting about. . A regu-
lar is absolutely under the eyes' of his
superior day and night. He' can't go
across the street without permission,
He has requirements made of him every
hour in the day. He undergoes about
as many privations as any laboring man
I ever heard of. I wonder if some of
these civilians who think proper to jeer
at us, and insult us, as many have done
in Chicago, ever stop to realize what we
have done for their welfare and good
in other times? I wonder if they think
we have been kept, sometimes for
months and years, away from the civil
ization which has given them so many
advantages? I wonder if they think
we are doing" this thing for cur health?
The regular private is as much a labor
ing man as any now on a Strike; he
is under a contract, the violation of
which means disgrace if not death. And
yet it remained for us, vrho . have
be eh among Indians and snowstorms
and all privations, to come here, under
orders, to be insulted and spitefully
used.
THE ORIGIN OF TATTOOING.
It Dates So Far Back That It Is Lost in
Antiquity.
Tattooing dates back so far that it is
impossible to discover when it was first
practiced, b.ut it was one of the prac
tices that were prohibited to the Jews,
for m Leviticus 19:28, is the- follow
ing: "Ye shall not make any cuttings
in your flesh for the dead, nor print
any marks upon you." From this it
may be inferred that tattooing was
prevalent in the days of Moses. It is a
custom that prevails among the savage
nations of the earth and tattooing is
practiced to this day, except where
Christianity and civilization have put
a stop to it. It was at one time years
ago, and is yet, but not to such a
marked degree, a fad among sailors to
have various designs placed on the
body. It was also a fad among a cer
tain class of silly women to have their
lover's name tattooed on the arm or
breast. There are sailors in almost
every seaport at this time who are will
ing for a consideration to place figures
on the flesh of any who are foolish
enough to have disfiguring marks
driven beneath the surface of the skin
with needle points dipped into coloring
matter.
Skinned Himself and Ate It.
My uncle and sister and I were out
in the garden one day watching a lit
tle toad, and my uncle took a twig and
very gently scratched first . one
side of the toad and then the other.
The toad evidently enjoyed it, for he
would roll 6lowly from side to side,
says a correspondent in the Philadel
phia Press, and blink very expressively.
I was so interested that when they
went in I took the twig and did as my
uncle had done. If, thought I, if he
rolls from side to side, as I touch him,
what would he do if I ran the twig
down his back? I did so, and what do
you think happened? His skin, which
was thin and dirty, parted in a neat
little seam, showing a bright new coat
below, and then" my quiet little toad
shpwed his knowledge, for. he gently
and carefully pulled off his outer skin,
taking it off the body and legs first,
and then blinking it over his eyes, till
where had it gone? He had rolled it
in a ball and swallowed it.
