TO STOP TRAIN ACCIDENTS.
Railroad Workmen of Experience Talk
It Over.
In the switchmen's shanty In the
railroad yards the other. night they
were talking of railroad accidents
and what caused them says the Kan-
sas City Star.
"I Baw In the paper the other day
that the railroads were blaming the
accidents upon Incompetent em-
ployes" said an old switchman who
had worked In his time at all kinds
of railroad work. "Let me tell you
the reason of so many accidents.
The law used to require the railroads
to have six men to take care of every
six miles of track. Now three section
men care for nine miles. That glvea
the men too much to do and they
can't keep the road in repair and
watch it as they ought to. The law
ought to force every railroad to have
a watchman on every bridge night
and day and when it was rainy and
bad the section men ought to go over
the track three times a day."
"That's all right" said the foreman
of the crew. "It's a good thing and
would prevent most of the accidents
because the great majority of them
come from a defect in the track or in
a bridge. But I would make the rail-
roads in addition to that have a track
Walker who would go over the bad
places in the track after a train
passed. Many accidents are caused
by a train loosening a bolt or crack-
ing a rail or weakening the track
some way and the next train that
comes along goes in the ditch
"Boys let me tell you" said the en-
glneer who was sitting upon a bench
filling his pipe. "The railroad com-
panies can never prevent accidents
until they give their employes time
to sleep and rest. You've all seen an
engineer who'B been on his engine
from 24 to 48 hours be sent out on a
run again with only four or five hours'
sleep. A man in that condition can't
keen awake. Then again an engine
night always to be inspected after it
somes in off a run. Yet it isn't done.
And they make one car inspector do
Jour men's work. Lots of cars are
HI the road that ought to be in the
A switchman who was formerly a
:onductor of a freight train said:
'To save money the roads send out
80 to 70 loaned cars with a big mogul
engine instead of 40 cars. The conse-
quence is the track spreads and the
next train weakens It a little more
and the third goes into the ditch."
JAPAN TO OWN RAILROADS.
Nation to Pay Double the Cost of the
Private Lines.
Now that the Japanese government
has undertaken to nationalize 17 pri-
vate railwayB having a total of 2887
miles of line at a cost of 421500000
yen ($210000000) or about $73000 a
mile the latest annual report of Ichijt
Yamanouchi director of the imperial
bureau of railways of Japan for the
fiscal year ended March 31 1906 be-
comes of the highest historical and
comparative value.
The total mileage open for traffic in
1905 was 4693 divided as follows:
Government railways 1461 miles;
private railways 3232 miles. This
showed an increase of nearly 198
miles over 1904.
Calculating the Japanese yen at 50
cents (commercially 49.8 cental the
cost of construction of the mileage
was:
Per
Cost. mile.
Qovernment rnilways 78.081.M9 IS2.S54
Private railways l.S0t4U 87284
Totals 19BH.101 1.K8
It will be perceived that the Japan-
ese government now pays almost
double the original cost of construc-
ting the private railways and there is
no suggestion of graft or excessive
valuation in the transaction. The
price paid was 20 times the average
of the net earnings from operation for
1902 1903 and 1904 divided by the
cost of construction and multiplied
by the paid-up capital. Railway Age.
Locomotive of the Future.
This engine was shown at the Nur
emberg Lands and Industries exhibl
tlon. It has a cu.ioos pointed boiler
to oiTer less resistance to the air. The
driving wheels are nearly seven feet
In diameter. It is expected to go 99
miles an hour.
Old English Railway Station.
The only railway station in England
that can boast of being really old Is
that at Bourne Lincolnshire which it
an ancient Elltabethsn mansion for-
merly In the possession of the Digby
family. When the Great Northern ft
Midland railway? f-iie through this
district a memorial was sent from the
inhabitants of Bourne asking that In-
stead of pulling the old landmark
down. It might be converted Into a
railway station for which purpose It
now serves. Part of the house Is
used as a residence by the station
master.

HINT FOR LATE STAYERS.
Custom Borrowed from the Boers to
Get Rid of Bores.
In South Africa candles are used
for lighting purposes in the homes
and when a young Hoer maiden has
eontlemen visitors the mother sticks
a pin in the candle and when It has
burned to the pin the callers under-
stand that It is time for their de
parture.
Mrs. Early a society matron or
Washington recently made a visit to
the Transvaal and was impressed
with the custom of the Boers that
she determined to introduce it into
her own home. Consequently the elec
tric lights were removed and candles
substituted in the drawing-room.
Mr. Stavlate. a frequent though not
always welcome caller was one of
the first visitors to call after the in
auguration of the new custom. He
witnessed the placing of the pin in
the candle by Mrs. Early and after
she had gone ventured to inquire:
"Why Miss Early does your moth
er stick a pin in the candle?"
"Oh" responded the young woman
with an air of apparent innocence
"mother learned that In South Africa
as a way of sending home the Boers."

YES THE DRAWER OPENED.
Jones Knew It But Explanations Were
Not in Order.
Jones was going away. And as
usual in such cases it was up to
Jones to put on a clean collar and
shirt and incidentally catch a
train He had no time to spare.
"Maria" he shouted downstairs
"where are my things?"
"In your bureau drawer of course"
floated up from the basement.
Jones then tackled the drawer.
Stuck of course. (They always do
stick when you are In a hurry.) He
pulled and heaved and said things
unmentionable. Suddenly with a
perversity for which bureau drawers
are noted. It flew open with a rush
and Jones with a death-grip on the
handles shot clear across the room.
The drawer couldn't go through the
door but Jones could and did land-
ing at the foot of the stairs with a
crash that jarred things mightily Just
in time to hear the partner of his
bosom ask :
"Did you get It open Henry?"
That was adding insult to injury
and Henry stalked upstairs with fire
in his eye. and said never a word.
Sea Trees.
Forms of life In the sea are far
more wonderful than any that ealst
on land. However much one may
doubt the stories of sea serpents
there are probably far bigger fish in
the sea than ever come out of it;
and as for plant life. It has been con-
clusively proved that sea trees 1500
feet In height are quite common in
the ocean. These monster trees are
a kind of brown seaweed the upper-
most branches being only about a
quarter of an Inch In thickness.
Countless bladders like miniature
balloons and about as big as a
hen's egg form among the branches of
the tree and. being filled with air.
buoy up the trunk and branches so
that they grow almost erect. Mam-
moth sea animals often buiid their
nests in these trees as they give off
several degrees of heat which makes
the surrounding water comparatively
warm. Exchange.

Is Disease a Crime ?
Not very long ago a popular magar.lne
published an editorial nrtlcle in which
the writer asserted in substance that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain it I that mneh of the sickness
and suffering of mankind Is due to tho
violation of certain of Nature's laws.
But to say that all sicltnsss should be
regarded as criminal must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
It would lie harsh unsympathetic
cruel yes criminal to condemn the poor
weak over-worked housewife who sinks
under the heavv load of household cares
and burdens and suffers from weak-
nesses various displacements of pelvic
organs and other derangements peculiar
to her sex.

nesses derailments and debility which are
asTrmvated by tho many household cams
and the hard and never-endlnir work which
the mother 1: called upon to perform. Dr.
iMxn-a tfc miliar of that world-famed rem
edy for woman'a peculiar weaknesses and
tUs I)r. Pierre's Fevorlta Prescription says
that one of the a-reaswt obstacle to the cure
of this class of maladies Is the fact that the
poor over-workwd houaewlfw can not get the
needed rest from ber many household cares
and lahor to enable ber to secure from the
use of hts Prescription " Its full benefits. It
