rollowitifr the lead of Liverpool, Shef
field, Bradford, Glasgow, Manchester, and
other cities of Great Britain, it is prom
ised that an electric strect railway serv
ice will soon supersede the present horse
tramways in Nottingham. The present
svsteni is probablj as antiquated ps any
in England. There are, in fact three main
sj stems or lines, each extending from near
the central portion of the business sec
tion to the railway depots or outskirts,
the whole comprising only about six miles
of track; but there is no central depot,
the downtown termini being several blocks
distant from each other. No transfers are
given, each line being conducted independ
entlj. The fares vary in a peculiar man
ner. On one of the three lines, which is
about one mile in length over level ground,
the fare Is Id (2 cents). The other tv o
lines have each one steep and long hill on
their routes If jou desire to travel the
full length of one of these lines, 2d. (4
cents) will be charged If you desire to
ride onlv to the top of the hill, the same
fare- will be charged If, however, jou
happen to be on the top of one of these
hills and desire to ride down either way,
the fare is onl Id. (2 cents.) This varia
tion of charge is made, as the authorities
explain, because a third horse is necessary
to pull the heavj trams, which are modeled
after the London 'bus pattern, with sfats
on top, up the hills This tram service
is supplemented by a number of 'buses,
which carry patrons not only along the
regular routes, but to suburbs bejond the
limits, nt ihn fmm lines Pnnn thosp sim
ilar fares are charged Double- tracks for
the trams exist onl on portions of the
routes, and trams run about every ten
minutes "When once the seats are full,
inside and out, not another passenger is
admitted
One result of the Imperfect sjstem has
been the creation of a fine comprehensive
atrd reasonable cab service That an ade
quate modern electric sj.stem will find an
abundant field here, and that It will levo
luttonize present conditions to a great ex
tent, is apparent. Opportunity is also af
forded for the introduction of devices
found to be successful in the Lulled
Statts.
Originallv tlie tram system was intro
duced and owned b a private company Its
operation was supposed to be profitable
and after considerable local agitation the
citj bqugli,Uie sjstem in 1S97 and assumed
control in June 1S'i A largo number of
additional emploet were put in service,
new cars and horses added, and improve
ments made in time schedules but it
seems to be finest iorable whether these
improvements have paid t the time of
purchase, the question of electricity was.
agitated and a grant foi the purpose flnallj

These woids are the direct ie3ult of the
present operations in South frica In
exerx case when England ha had occasion
to add to her empire some portion of land
hitherto in the possession of another power,
sh ha also annexed certain words most
commonlv current in that countrj
Alreadv there are signs that a doz-n
words at leist, haxe been, so to ay in
corporated into our language, of which 99
per cent of Britons would haxe been ig
norant bad it not been for the xxar Take
a word like "commandeer." meaning lo
annex bj force if neccssarj. but anjhow
to take possession of The Boers "com
mandeered" men, moncj guns horst.,
and anx thing they found read to their
hands We shall henteforward speak of
schoolboxs "commandeering apples from
an orchard, or a selfish traxeler "com
mandeering" the best seat in a first-cIaa-
compartment
Again, the word "tooinek." meaning
"red neik." which is a Boei nickname foi
.an English soldier, is already used as a
term of opprobrium, and a new slang ex
pression to denote a man against whom
one has a grudge -
Another Boer term that is cxtramely
epressixc, and cannot fail to make its
wax, ex en in the English language, which
is so well supplied with adjectixes of a
like nature, is "slim " This means cun
ning, bly, canny, or smart In the rather
unpleasant sense of the term as implxing
a desire to get the better ot somebody
else General Joubert is called "Slim
Pint nmi manx- instances haxe occurred
during the past few months demonstrat- j
ipg ,he fact that one of the chief iharac- j
tenstics of the Boer natton is that ot
"slimneos " It is a useful word, and con-
veys a subtlety of meaning which is not i
fully expressed by anx other single void,
in o.ur tongue
Agum, to "trek," implxing to traxel, to
shifU one's quarters, to moxe, to traxel
across an expanse ol tountrj, is a xer)
useful sjnonxm for an operation of dailj j

Through the fog came the low. warning

of the bells from off the schooners.
The engineer came leisurely along the

standing by the railing listening to the

As the blood contains all the elements necessary to sustain life, it is impor
tant that it be kept free of all impurities, or it becomes a source of disease,
poisoning instead of nourishing the body, and loss of health is sure to follow.
Some poisons enter the blood from without, through the shin by absorption, or
inoculation: others from within, as xxhen xxaste products accumulate in the
S3'stem and ferment, allowing disease germs to dexclop and be taken into tlie
circulation. While all blood troubles have one common origin, each has some
peculiarity to distinguish it from the other. Contagious Blood Poion, Scrofula,
Cancer. Rheumatism. Eczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished by a
a certain sore, ulcer. eruDtion or inflammation arrocarine on the skin. Ev cry blood
disease shows sooner or later oil the outside and on the weakest part of the body, or xxhe-e it finds the least res-stance
Many mistake the sore or outxxard sign for tlie real disease, and attempt a cure by U12 use of sahes, liniments and other
external applications. Valuable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment.
BLOOD TROUBLES REQUIRE BLOOD REMEDIES; the poison must be completely and perma-tmnrU-
