THE aMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECOKDER: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1893 .
A feelle woman
(a restored to health and strength,
by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion. If you’re overworked, “run
down,” or debilitated, you need it.
It’s an invigoi ating, restorative
tonic, and a soothing and strength
ening nervine, imparting tono and
vigor to tlio whole system. It’s a
legitimate medicine, too—carefully
compounded by an experienced phy
sician, and adapted to woman’s deli
cate organisation. For all the
chronic weaknesses, functional de
rangements, and painful disorders
peculiar to the sex, it is an unfailing
remedy. It’s because it is unfail
ing that it can bo sold under a posi
tive guarantee. If it fails to give
satisfaction, in any case for which
it’s recommended, the money paid
for it will ho promptly returned.
It is a legitimate medicine—not
a beverage. Contains no alcohol
to inebriate*; no syrup or sugar to
ronr or ferment in the stomach
and cruse distress. As peculiar in
its marvelous, remedial results as
in its composition.
This is the way
with the Ball corset: if you
want ease and shapeliness,
you buy it—but you don’t
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks’
wear, you can return it and
have your money.
Comfort isn't all of It
though. Soft Eyelets, and
“bones” that can’t break or
kink—Ball’s corsets have
both of these.

.4 Spvcd) '/,ne«» motive This.
“If tlm new engine I am about to
have constructed is not capable of mak
ing 100 miles an hour l’l^ give her away
to the first person I meet.”
This astounding statement was made
by Mr. .Jackson Richards, the master
mechanic of the Philadelphia and Read-
ing railroad. Mr. Richards bus been
working cn bis latest invention for the
past ten years, and a few days ago the
drawings were completed und the pat
ent. was applied for.
In outward appearance the new loco
motive will not differ materially from
the s|)eedy engines now used. The pe
culiarity of construction lies in the fact
thut instead of the two cylinders ns used
at present there will be four. One cylin
der will be located on each side of the
locomotive flame as at present, and the
other two will 1m cast in what is known
as the cylinder saddle. The inside puir
of cylinders are to bo in cue piece and
will lie on an angle. The outside cylin
ders ore to be horizontal as at present.
Tlie four cylinders will entirely over
come what is known to engineers as the
dead center, and the engine will be per
fectly balanced without any counter
balance in tlio wheels.
This latter improvement will, to a
large degree, do away with the vicious
pounding which has proved so destruc
tive to modern .roadbeds. The perfect
balancing of the engine will lie largely
due to the working of the two cylin
ders so near her center, and these same
cylinders, working as they do from such
a central point of vantage, will help oat
in the matter of speed to a great degree.

Sermon l>y Telephone In Kng[liinil
Tite transmission of aermonH by tele
phone to t hose who from various causes
are unable to attend church services,
which was experimented with in Eng
land last year, lias turned out so success
ful that steps are being taken to extend
its use on a large scale. Provided with
tlie receiver specially used, it is said that
invalids can hear perfectly while in bed.
In a quiet room the tolling of the bell
before service is distinctly audible, the
prayers can be followed, the responses
emphnsized and every word of the ser
mon distinguished, while solo9 in the
anthem are heard as distinctly as in the
church.
Twenty-four calls were recently re
ceived nt the telephone offlqe for connec
tion with a local church in an English
town, and as the number of subscribers
there probably numbered not more than
sixty, it is evident that tlie privilege of
hearing the sermon without going to the
church for it was appreciated. In many
of the large towus in England, especially
in Manchester, Nottingham, Stafford,
Wolverhampton, the church telephone
service has come to be quite an institu
tion.—New York Recorder.
Fanning Doe. Pay Sometime*.
‘Well, 1 suppose you havo heard a
great many big stories of our wonderful
crop,” remarked Hon. Thqmas Simpson,
of Winona, "but I huve just heard one
which 1 know is true and.which well
indicates the greatness of this year’s crop
in tho grains besides wheat." Mr. Simp
son then reluted to the reporter the his
tory of two Winona hoys in South Da
kota this summer, withholding tho names
of Die young men. Last spring they
rented 9,200 acres in South Dakota nt
lirty cents an acre and put in a crop of
flax. From this farm they obtained
50.000 bushels of flax, an average of a
little over fifteen bushels to the acre.
Selling tliis nt nInety-Ure cents jier
bushel tlie young farmers realized (47,-
500. Their estimated expense was live
doilnts per acre, or (10,000, and this, de
ducted from the gross receipts, leaves a
profit or (111,500 for one Bummer's work
for two young men. The grain is now
in tlie elevators.—St. Puul Pioneer Press.
Noble Deed of m Tramp.
Rarely indeed in anything Been in the
patters to tlie credit of the genus tramp,
but it is likely that many of them are as
brave as Thomas Burns, whose prompt
and daring deed recently saved the life
of a little Italian girl, und shamed hum
dreds who inactively witnessed the inci
dent. She had fallen into the fountain
of the City Hall park, New York city.
Crowds of well dressed people saw her
peril, bnt uot one of them made an effort
to save her. They stared in speechless
dismay, some of them probably thinking
that water might injure their garments,
when Thomas Bums, whose attire de
noted him to be of the tramp order, hur
riedly made his way to the front, plutig-
ed in and saved the imperiled child,
whose unconscious body already lay at
tho bottom of the fountain. —Yankee
Blade.
A Happy Combination
of the most potent and active properties
of the whole vegetable kingdom, is that
which makes Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription so pre-eminently above every
other so-called woman’s restorative in
the market. Don’t stop short of the
best! Don’t exoeriment with worthless
imitations, when the world acknowledg
es no superior to the original, reliable,
and only guaranteed remedy for the hap
py restoration of suffering and debilitat
ed woman, Costs nothing if it don’t do
just as recommended. See guarantee on

pr iject—the preparation of a series of
notable Irish publications—somewhat
afer the style of Cassell’s "National
