SIGHTS ON AN ENGINE AT NIGHT. Many Wild Auimala Encountered in Ohio and Indiana. Running through the forest and swatnp lands of Ohio and Indiana the engineers and firemen who watch ahead of the great engines that haul [ the fiying express trains see many wild animals dashing along the track, aud frequently deulzens of the forests are I run down and the trackmen find their mangled remains In the morning. Coous, wildcats, rabbits and sometimes wolves, are caught by the fast flying limited trains, end even sly reyuard, with all bis cunning, is often ground up under the wheels. For many miles the Baltimore and Ohio, Fort Wayne and Lake Shore roads run through a wild swampy woodland couutry in western Ohio and Indiana. These densely wooded swamps are almost Impenetrable, and they har bor nearly all kinds of ludigeous wild animals and birds. In the moonlight or by the aid of the headlight the ani mals can be seen scampering across the tracks, and often the foolish rabbit takes to the middle of the track be- ’ tween the rails and races the locomo- [ tive for miles until he plunges Into a culvert or a bridge. “It has occurred to me several times in my railroad experience,” said the old engineer, "that the American skunk can make himself conspicuous longer and louder than any other living thing. Frequently as we fly along sixty miles an hour through the gloom of night, a little wobbling body dark aud gray is seen by the glare of the headlight running diagonally across the track. The animal may possibly by quick ac tion and a skillful maneuver escape the wheels, and Instantly our nostrils are saluted with an overpowering scent which almost makes up faint. We are 200 yards away from the cause of the smell in an instant, but It clings to us for miles, and the passengers in the cars who are awake wonder what kind of oil is burning in the supposed hot A French statistician has calculated boxes.

There are never any ex ternal signs of Cancer until the blood i s polluted and the system thoroughly con taminated by this deadly virulent poison. Then a sore or ulcer appears on some part of the body ; it may be small and harmless looking at first, but as the can cerous cells form and are deposited by the blood near the sore, it increases in size and severity, with sharp shooting pains. No matter how often the sore is removed by the surgeon’s knife or flesh destroying plasters, another comes and is worse. The real disease is in the blood, and the treatment must begin there. The poisoned blood must be invigorated and purified, and when this is done cancerous cells can no longer form and the sore will heal naturally and permanently. cancer Mrs. Sarah M.

Ohio. Recently a young man crossed this bridge under thrilling circumstances. A Cleveland exchange tells the story. He was half-way across when a fast train rounded the curve behind him. There was not a moment to lose, and he quickened his pace, not an easy task on the ties. As he neared the end the train was close behind him. and he had Just time to swing himself over the side of the bridge as the locomotive thundered by. The ends of the ties were slippery with grease, nnd his foot slipped as he left the track. His right hand, stretched out blindly, touched an Iron brace, and be clutched It. Then for a moment he swung In space, nnd In an other his left hand found a place be- lide his right and his feet touched a wel come beam below. With bleeding Angers clutching the slender Iron bar that bent and vibrated, moments seemed hours: but at length the train passed, and the young man was able to climb slowly to the track above, and crawl over the ties to firm ground.

R*’«cued From Death by Reading an A<l vertiaemeut—% Journalist of Note Advises His Readers and Friends. From Farmer A Dairyman,North Yakima,Wash In 1883, I entered the regular U. 8. Army and was assigned to Go “E,” Sixth Infantry, theu stationed at Fort Douglas, Utah. My boyhood days had been spent on a farm in Kentucky, but I had not been accustomed to manual labor for several vearos previous to en tering upon active military duties, l ite constant and excessive daily drills, sleeping in tents and general exposure of a severe winter, brought on a pecu liar nervous trouble, which soon inca pacitated me for all garrison work. The post surgeon ordered me to the hospital aud diagnosed my case as muscular rhuematism. My lower limbs seemed to be dying—losing all sense of outward feeling. Ths most excruciating pains made me almost wild with misery aud 1 could not stand alone. My appetite was ravenous, di gestion perfect, itings strong and gen eral health good except for tliis dis tressing disability. Alter several days’ treatment with no change, the surgeon concluded 1 had heart failure. He prescribed tinc ture of digitalis, and gave me several ounces of this without any effect, ex cept that I kept getting worse. In ti e full of 1884, I was discharged on sur geon’s certificate of disability, and be gan the difficult task of existing and trying to regain my health in a strange land, surrounded by unsympathetic people. My condition continued to grow more alarming. I was compelled to use a heavy staff to prevent tailing. Al', attempts at manual and mental labor w’ere made under exasperating difficulties. I seemed about one-lialf dead. My weight was less than 140 pounds, though I was over six feet in height. I tried electricity with no avail. Several local physicians gave me treatment which was not effective. Mauv well advertised remedies for nervous debility were taken with no satisfactory results. I read all the medical authorities obtainable, and finally found my svmp- toms under the head of Locomotor Ataxia. The author said there was no cure for the disease, and I believed him. He recommended a mixture of iodide of potassium and sarsaparilla, as a possible aid to existence. I took sev eral bottles of this formula aud double the strength. This failing, I made up my mind to die as soon as possible. There was no comfort, pleasure or hap piness in life which kuew nothing but pain. One day I read the experience of a man who had been afflicted with Loco motor Ataxia, and cured by the use of Dr. William»’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple. I bought one box and tried the remedy, following the directions very closely. This had a little effect, and I procured a half dozen boxes, and took them before I was convinced that a cure was possible. 1 began with ono pill after each meal, in a few days I took two, and finally used one box a week. My pains gradually disappear ed, color came to my flesh, I could walk, run and jump, and actually dis pensed with a cane. Words cannot portray my feelings. Today 1 weigh 200 pounds, am perfect- 1, healthy and feel 20 years younger than 1 did 10 years ago. Journalists ami all brain workers are liable to afflictions such as 1 suffered. To all such I would advise the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People in connection with cold water bathing, morning and evening. I will cheer fully answer any anil all questions asked by those afflicted. JOEL SHOMAKF.R, Editor Farmer aud Dairyman, North Yakima, Wash.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to Hearn that there is at least one dreaded disease /hat science has been able to cure in all 11s stages, and that is catarrh. Hall’sCatarrh Cure is ihe only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the founda tion of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constituroii and assisting nature in doing its work.

The Smell of the Back That is where some people feel weak all the time They are likely to be despondent and it is not unusual to find them borrowing trouble as if they hadn’t enough already. The fact is their kidneys are weak, either naturally or because of sickness, exposure, worry or other influences. As is well known, some metals are unsuitable for casting, while others, like iron, can readily be cast in any desired shape. The property of casting well is said to depend upon whether the metal contracts or expands on so lidifying from the liquid form. Iron, like water, expands in solidifying, ami hence the solid metal may be seen floating in the liquid iron about it. Gold and silver contract in cooling, and therefore, are not suitable for cast ing. • I am thankful to say,” writes J. L. Campbell, of Sycamore, III., “that Hood’s Sarsaparilla has cured me. For many years I was troubled with backache. Ac times I was so bail 1 had to be helped trout the bed or chair. I am now well and strong and free from pain.” What this great medicine did for him it has done for ot hers. Giraffe skins have become extremely valuable because of tli4ir scarcity. Ten or 15 years ago it was common enough for a hunter in South Africa to kill 46 or 50 ot the animals ill a day. At this rate they were rapidly being exterminated, and now a giraffe skin is worth anywhere from $20 to $50. ■ ‘...... ill I I To clean bottles ent a raw potato in to email piece» and put them into the hottie with a tablMpoonfnl of salt, to two tablespoonfiilH of water, and shake well together until all the marks are removed.
