Dr. Tierce's
Golden Medical
Discovery main
tains a person's nutrition by enabling one
to er:t, rci-.in, digest and assimilate the
pro- r nutritious food. It overcomes the
pa.- ie irritability and symptoms of indi
gestion, and thus the person is saved from
those symptoms of fever, night-sweats,
headache, etc., which are so common. A
tonic made up largely .of alcohol will
shrink the corpuscles of the blood and
make them weaker for resistance.
"This is to certify that I have used Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, think it's
the evuiidest medicine in the world," writes Mrs.
V. M Y'.unpr. of Weir, W. Va. "I had dyspepsia
In its v'r-t form. I decided to try your m-d-ieine.
1 used five bottles, and now I am doing
ray own housework. A number of my friends
also :re u-ing Dr. Pierce's medicine ami they
recommend it highly. May God bless you in
your '.'.-and work."
Dr. Pierce believes that a tonic made with
alcohol will shrink the red blood corpuscles
and make the system weak for resistance
that is why lie avoided the use of any aleo
hoi or narcotics in his " Medical Discovery,
which contains the pure extract from roots
and herbs without a particle of alcohol.
Accept no substitute for"Golden Medical
Discovery." There is nothing "just as
good for dyspepsia or debility

In comparing the railroad mileage o
the oM world and of the new it is found
th it t e nter has 278,046 miles against
242.909 for the former. In the grand

Of the total the Dew world has 53 1 3

United States alone is about 207,000, as

From the report of the interstat
co umerce comirnssion it is possible t
draw comparisons between the roads o
other countries and tlmee ot the United
States. While the capitalization of a
the touls of the world in June, 19fl2
was put at $34,964,315,000, those of th
United States represented a capdaliza
tion of $12,131,182,964 at that time, and
a year later this had been increased to
$12,59J,990.258. The capitalization i;e
mi e amounts to $63,180.
The progress of the world in railroad
building is shown by the iollowiny
figures. In 1896 there were added to
the total 9769 miles; in 1897, 10,747
miles; in 1898, 10,864 mlies; in 1899
13,533 miles; in 1900, 10,800 miles ; in
1901, 16,551 miles, and m 1902, 13,338
miles.
This makes a total of 85.629 miles ii
the seven years and is an averaae of
12233 miles a year. From 1880 to
1890 the mileage built was the greatest,
the yearly average being 15,218.
The noticeable decrease in coi st uc-
tion from 1901 to 1902 was due chiefly
to reductions in Asia from 4345 mi es in
1901 to 2535 in 1902. and Africa, where
construction decreased from 1690 miles
in 1901 to 364 in 1902.
Submarines For Orient.
Newport News, Va., Oct. 14 Care
fully guarded by company officials and
detectives, two submarine boats that
were constructed here are being packed
'or'shipment. It ia generally supposed
that the boats have been purchased by
one of the belligerents in the far eastern
war.
Throughout the construction of the
submarines, the utmost secrecy has
been maintained by the officers of the
mmenae shipyard. Only well
known and trusted employes Jof the
company have been allowed to work on
he craft, and these men were carefully
guarded. Pain clothes men digged
their footsteps, and even the people
with whom they talked were watched.
This was done to prevent any possible
attempt to destroy the vessels by spies
knon to be lurking in the city. Both
Russian and Japanese spies are here.
Tbe boats, winch have been taken to
pieces since their secret trial trips, are
being mst carefully packed in etron;-,
wooden boxes. Some of the boxes are
ma-ked "shoes," others "books," and
with the names of other articles th t
are shipped to western cities from this
section. They will be guarded en rou:e.
Several days ago, a freight train car
rying eeyeral "knock down" subma
rines was wrecked near a lonely station
ia North Dakota. The boats had been
constructed at an eastern shipyard, and
were to have been shipped to the orient
from Seattle.
The proud and justifiable boast of t' e
O. Ii. & N. railway is that not one pas
eeDger has yet been killed in a wreck on
its lines. Perhaps no otber road with
the same mileage and vol me of traffic
in the United States cau truthfully
make such a commendable showing.
It is a tribute a'ike to the efficiency of
employes and the organization of the
executive powers of the road. Ex.
During September an Ashland man
sold 37 crates of strawberries, and ex
pects to market as many more in Oc
tober. Last fall he sold over 60 crates.
They bring over 82 a crate. It isn't
everywhere that a man can make
money picking fall strawberries.
OUR PUZZLING LANGUAGE.
The Verb and the Preposition Are
Difficulties Insurmountable to
the Frenchman.
English Is said to te one of the most
difficult languages i.i the world for a
foreigner to .earn. The verbs and prep
ositions aid particularly puxzlh.-g. A
professor in Columbia ihool cf Mines
tells of the trouble of a 1 rcncbrr.an will:
the verb "to break," relates the Nev,
York Times.
"I bffcin to understand our language
better," said my French friend, M. de
Iieauvoir, to me, "but cur verbs trouble
me still. You mix them up with prepo
sitions. "I saw your friend, Mrs. Berky, just
now," he continues. "She says she in-'
tends to break down her school earlier
than usual. Am I right there?"
"Bne&k up her school, she must have
said."
"Oh, yes, I remember; break up
school."
"Why does she do that?" I asked.
"Because her health Is broken Into."
"Broken do'wn."
"Broken down? Oh, yes! And, indeed,
since fever has broken up In her town "
"Broken out."
"She thinks she will leave it for a few
weeks."
"Will she leav her house alone?"
"No; she is afraid it will bebroken--broken
how do I say that?"
"Broken into."
"Certainly; It is what I meant to say
"Is her son to be married soon?"
"No; that engagement is broken
broken "
"Broken off."
"Yes, broken off."
"Ah, I had not heard that!"
"She is sorry about It. Her son
only broke the news down to her last
week. Am I right? I am anxious to
speak English well."
"He merely broke the news; no prepo
sition this time."
"It is hard to understand. That young
man, her son, is a fln young fellow
a breaker, I think."
"A broker, and a fine fellow. Good
day!"
So much for the verb "break."
MOUNTAIN PEAK MAY FALL.
Tonrtota Are In Great Danger from
Threatening Mountain Top
In the Alp.
Although it has been rumored
throughout the Alpine region for
some time that the Altels the exeat
mountain peak which rears itself hli?h
above the famous Gemmi pass was in
a more or less shaky condition, no one
expected to hear that there was anv
danger of its fallpg. Now, however,
it is definitely stated that the Alteh
is on the point of splitting in two and
may come thundering- down almost
any time, says a report from Neu-
chatel. Switzerland.
Damage enough will be done if the
famous peak does fall in any case, Dut
it is to be hoped that fche crash will
come before the next tourist season
begins, for the Qemmi, above which
the Altels towers, is used to a greater
extent than any other Alpine pass.
Ihe inhabitant of the region can im
agine what will be the result if the
Altels should come crashing down,
having experienced such an occur
rence on a smaller scale when glaciers
from this particular peak have de
scended upon them. The last one fell
n September, 1895, and many peas
ants were killed.
