muscles, tissues and nerves. These parts become greatly inflamed, feverish and
hot ; dagger-like, maddening pains follow in quick succession, the muscles become
extremely tender, the nerves break down and the sufferer is soon reduced to a state
of helplessness and misery. This acid poison penetrates the joints and seems to
dry out the natural oils, and the legs, arms and fingers become so stiff and sore
that every movement is attended with excruciating pains. .
Liniments, plasters, electricity and baths, while their use may give temporary
ease, cannot be called cures, for the disease returns with every change of the weather;

A WONDERFUL FENCE.
The "Anchor" Clamps Are Revolutionizing
Wire Fences Now-a-Days.
The surprising -stride in popularity
made by the -'Anchor" wire fence
proves that this fence has come to
stay. . It is used all over the United
states, and it bears the test of time,
which in reality is the only convinc
ing test. In the Pacific Northwest
the Portland "Anchor" Fence Co, of
742 Nicolai street, Portland, Ore., is
pushing this fence and its agents are
Welcomed everywhere, as they bring
an article which certainly is sorely
needed. It is probably a fact that
the "Anchor" fence satisfactorily
solves the great fence question.
The universal desirability of the
Anchor' ' fence is understood when
you come to know that it serves in
the best possible manner nearly every
use to which any fence can be put.
The principle of. clamping upright
stays, rivet-tight, " to the running rod
makes every fence secure and durable.
Never before have such economical
and lasting fences been made.
These "Anchor" fences are suitable
for all kinds of ordinary fence pur
poses : and also afford ' a large
scope in the designing of ornamental
fences, tree guards, fancy gates, etc.
Besides this, if a man wants to repair
his old wire fence all he has to do is
to buy some of the little "Anchor"
damps and a pair of pinchers and he
is prepared to make his old fence last
a long time, r -

An official of the United States Pat

under the son. He has pored over vol
umes of ancient lore and satisfied him

j chanlcs, our boasted progress seems to
him to have been vastly overrated.

tells us of a copy of the Iliad engraved
on so small a piece of parchment that
the entire work was contained in a nut
shell. Microscopes of rock crystal were
found In the palace of Nimrod. Nero
had lenses made out of an emerald,
with which from a distance he watched
gladiatorial contests. The Romans, as
Stated by Prof. Lanclanl, had storage
warehouses and safety deposit vaults.
- The ancients, according to this Pat
ent office skeptic, were as full of wis
dom as the moderns who lgnorantly
undertook to patronize them. Their
mechanical contrivances and engineer
ing works were remarkable. Archi
medes discovered many scientific prin
ciples which are in use nowadays. Pub
lic works were of the highest order.
The ancient Greek water supply sys
tem showed every modern improve
ment such as we have acquired only
within the past ten years. The public
roads of Peru were built of masonry,
were twenty-five feet wide, macadam
ized with pulverized stone mixed with
Ilme'and bituminous cement and wall
ed in by walls more than six feet thick.
A sort of telegraph system existed and
news was transmitted hundreds of
miles In a day. When Peru was "dis
covered" several centuries ago its
woolen and cotton goods exceeded in
fineness any similar goods produced in
Europe. Plato knew that the earth was
round; other philosophers, now forgot
ten, were familiar with the law of
gravitation. Astronomers before the
Christian era understood the rotation
of planets and knew a great deal about
comets. There Is reason to believe that
the ancients nsed the telephone in some
form, while there is a tradition in
China that the phonograph was em
ployed by rich orientals.
Still, the wisdom of the ancients has
not discouraged modern Inventors.
Men of science and mechanical ingenu
ity will continue to add to the knowl
edge, the comfort and wealth of the
world. With all the progress that has
been made many contrivances remain
to be devised before human ingennity
realizes that its limit has been reached.
Immense fortunes will be made by the
Inventive geniuses of the future who
work out problems which must be
solved before man attains complete
happiness on this mundane sphere.
What appears impossible in this gen
eration may be in general use in the
next generation. Matters of transpor

VOYAGING TO SUNNY CLIMES.
Gem of Art That May Be Had for the
Asking.
That's a beautiful subject to dis
cuss any time ot tne year, out es
pecially so during the rainy months,
when a trip to Southern California is
most delightful. The howwhen and
where of the whole business is told
briefly but comprehensively in a
little book that would be an ornament
to any library table. Ask the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company to mail
it from their office in Seattle, Port
land, Tacoma or Spokane. As a work
of art it's a gem. Get the book and
enjoy its beauty and the story it
tells. The trip may be within reach
before the winter ends.
