v La Grippe i If you have had the Grippe, 9 you know its aches and pains, I the fever, the chills, the cough, H 4 the depression?you know h ; them all. The Grippe exhausts CT thr nervous system quickly, 0 lowers the vitality. Two H1 things should te done at once: K ?the body must be strength- I { encd, and force must be given fl to the nervous system. Cod- 3 j i liver Oil will do the first: Hy- *5 pophosphites the second. These ?] are permanently and pleasantly ij combined in Scott's Emulsion. Jj It lifts the despondency and 1 heals the inflamed membranes a of the throat and lun^s. ' But you need not nave LA 13 GRIPPE. t! You can put your system in H j -i 1-' - ** I You can have rich, red blood; ft resistive strength ; steady brain B and nerves. Scott's Emulsion |j prevents as well as cures. " And whether you send or go R for Scott's Emu'sion, be sure n you get the genuine. SCOTT ft BOWNH, New York. E DON'T BLAME THE WORLD. Don't the world because tho thorns arc found among tho roses. Tho day that breaks In storm may be all sunshine when it closes. We cannot hope to always meet with fortune's j fond caressing, And that which seems most hard to bear may bring with it a blessing. That hurled seed must rot Inearth ere it produce the flower, And the weak plant to fructify must have both sun and shower; Soman, trt gain development, must struggle I. with life's crosses. ? And view with calm philosophy his trials and his losses. A deadly, pols'nous weed may yield a salve of surest healing; The sweetest blossom may pols'nous be, although Its bane concealing. Things arc not always what they seem, but still 'twas heaven designed them, And we should class them all as good and take them as we llnd them. Little we know of this brief life ami nothing of its sequel; Then let us lake In hutnblo trust all that may suem unequal. Ood's ways aro not our ways, and Ho should certainly be trusted; All that is wrong In his His good time will surely be adjusted. ?llawkc's Hay (Now Zealand) News. UNITED STATES WEATHER BUREAU. Predicting Storms Reduced to an Exact Science. How the Forecaster Gets His Information and Makes His Deductions as ^ to the Weather. Tho United States Weather Bu reau is a branch of the Depart mont of Agriculture, out it occu^ pies two large buildings of its own a mile or more from the main department building. Ilere a largo force of expert meteoroligists are employed to study the conditions of the weather an?l collect and compare data as to the movements ot storms' with the view of rendering the predictions sent out more accu-i rate. To such a science has this1 hoc11 ieduced that now nearlvi every great change in tempera- \ ture, and nearly every severe I storm,is anticipated hy telegraph ' ie bulletins sent out from this office. It would be impossible to estimate the value of shipping saved by the signals run up at every port along the Atlantic announcing the approach of the! dreaded West Indian hurricane. I - Throughout tho length and J breadth of tiio country are care> ful observers who are in daily communication with tho Weather Bureau, and after long and careful study, tho regular route of storm centers across the United L States has been accurately mapped. Storms generally come across | the line from British America in! the far northwest, sweep down in ' a circle to the Mississippi valley near St. Louis, and then turning back towards the north leave by way of the St. Lawrence valley. The tropical hurricanes pass upwardly along the coast from Florida. In forecasting the weather very little attention is paid to the thermometer, as that instrument indicates nothing but a local condition. A half mile above the ground at any given point there may be a very much warmer or colder stratum ol air. i no uaromeier indicates tlie weight of air at a given point, and a number of observations at different points taken at the same moment will show the location of the great atmospheric "waves" which accompany or produce the storms. Every morning at S o'clock the Weather Bureau has placed at its disposal telegraphic lines load ing to all its stations throughout the country, and each observer sends in a cipher dispatch giving temperature, barometic condition, rain-fall force, and direction of wind, etc. In the forecaster's room now all is activity. At a long desk are arranged a series of maps of the United States marked with circles representing each point of observation. One man will mark down the temperature, another the barometric reading, etc., as the reports come in. On these maps are then drawn lines, one indicating the points of equal temperature called "isotherms," and another indicating the points where the barometer registers the same pressure of air called "isobars." By comparing these maps with mose made lor a lew preceding days the movements of the air waves can he followed, and their probable course and rapidity of movement outlined. While the men are at work with the maps, still others are setting up the returns in type, and also arranging the special forms to indicate the condition of the sky, the direction and force of the wind, and the sections where rain or snow is actually falling. By half past nine o'clock the reports are all in and tabulated, the maps are made and the predictions for the next thirty hours telegraphed throghout the land. It it is thought that a severe gale is coming up the coast a <1 is " . -I paten is sent to each seaport in its supposed course directing a danger llag to bo displayed. 1'ponl the wall of the forecaster's room is a map of the I 'nited States tilled with holes, representing the dif ferent cities. When a danger (lag, is ordered up at a certain city.1 the forecaster puts a wooden peg! in the proper hole, so that it can1 be seen at a glance just where a storm (lag is llying. A similar map is used to show where "cold j wave" Hags are llying at any par-1 f irnlnr inAinnnl As tho business of forecasting | the weather is being reduced more and more to an exact science, tho percentage of accurate predictions is gradually in-1 creased. So much confidence is now placed in tho predictions of the' Weather Bureau that they are generally accepted by the more intelligent people. A Large Corporation. In a recent number of Current Literature an English writer as sorts that "the greatest corporation on earth is the London and Northwestern railway company of England,with its capital ot $595,000,000, a revenue of $0,500 an hour, 2,300 engines and 00,000 employes and repairs which cost $130,000 a month " "Everything is made by the company," says this writer, "bridges, engines, rails, carriages, wagons and inumcrable lot of ot her! things, even the coal scuttles and the wooden limbs lor the injured of the staff." The Northwestern railway com pan.v is no doubt a gigantic corporation for a little country like England and worth bragging about, but we have got a bigger one here in the Enited States that ...i. :> h'ioihim 11 wry easily. 1 IK* Pennsylvania railroad, lor example, lias a capital ot $857,075,000 and 15,430 miles of track, which traverses thirteen states. It has 3,750 locomotives, which consume 10,()0() tons of coal a day and make runs equal to the distance around the globe every two hours It has 3,035 passenger cars, 153,000 freight cars,350 Pullman cars and 241 other cars lor construction and other purposes, making a total of 158,524 cars,which make a journey equal to the circumference of the earth in every eight minutes. These locomotives and cars, if placed upon a single track, would reach from New York to Chicago, or ten times the distance between Philadelphia and New York. The rails of the Pennsylvania Railroad, if laid end to end, would encircle th3 globe and overlap about 4,000 miles. The total annual revenue of the road is $ 135,000,000?equal to $372,500 a day, and $15,525 every hour of the day and night? which is two and a half times as much as that of the Noithwestern of England.

Last winter he went up into Wisconsin. and in consequence has had another attack. "It came upon me again very acute and severe,"! he said. "My joints swelled and became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother-in- ' law 1 tried Chamberlain's Fain) Halm to reduce the swelling and ease the pain, and to my agreeable surprise, it did both.
