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. Forsale by GEO. D. WHEATLEY.

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. —Phil.

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.
