A Car Containing Sixty-f1ve Persons Hurled
Over an Embankment-Au OF them In
jured, but None KilIed-Fears that Some
May Die, However.
WORCESTER, MASS, Nov. %.
The rear car Of a crowded passenger
train on the Boston, Barre and Gardner
Railroad was thrown from the track just as
the train was drawing away from North
Worcester Station, at 2:15 this afternoon,
and hurled with terrific force down steep
embankment, fully twenty-five feet high.
They were sixty-five passengers in the car,
and not one of them escaped injury. The
car turned wholly over once and then half
over again in its descent, aud finally rested
on its side at an angle of forty five degrees.
1t was badly broken up in the fall. The
seats were all wrenched from their places
and thrown in a heap, and the passengers
were mixed up with the broken iron and
timber in almost inextricable confusion.
The woodwork of the car caught fire from
the stove in the forward part, and the hor-
ror of being burned to death confronted the
wounded passengers. But assistance was
prompt, and the flames were speedily ex-
tingufshed.
Some few of the passengers extricated
occupants of the otherstwo cars, which re-
NAMED on the track, set to work
and helped their suffering companions.
The anguished cries of bruised and bleed
ing men, women and children made the
scene a terrible one. Tenderly and care.
fully the injured ones were taken out and
laid on the grass by the side of the track.
1t was found that by a miracle none were
killed, but several were apparently dying.
Physicians were summoned from Worces-
cester, and Doctors Bates, Marble, Davis,
r. Woodward, Jacques, Wood, Swartward,
Adams and Warren were soon on the spot.
From then TIL dark all worked unremit-
tin9Iy in care fer the woundsd.s Some
were removed to neigh torfng houses, and
others were brought to Worcester in hacks
and the police ambulances., The most seri-:
ously injured were taken to the City Hos-
pifal. OF the sixty-fve persons in the car
alEwere more Or less bruised; thirty were
seriously injured and six were SO badly
hurt that they are not expected to live.

Self.Limitation Of Diseases.

Once, when one cut his finger, he
thought to cure the wound by putting
on some healing balsam. As a matter
of fact, it would have healed just as
soon and well if bound up at once in its
own blood, and thus simply protected
from dirt.
The power to heal belongs to our ply
steal organization. So, too, many "a
poison fails to cause death simply be-
cause the system, by its own established
methods Of working, gets rid of the
poison through the various eliminating
organs, and then repairs whatever of
harm may have been done. In some
cases the only object of the remedy used
is to stimulate the eliminating organs to
special activity, or to sustain the system
while the elimination is going on.
In all ordinary cases cold cures it.

nostrums taken. Give typhoid pa
tent abundance of pure air, sponge his
body frequently with a little soda and
water, to reduce heat, and keep up. his
strength with a milk diet, and in the
great majority of cases he will recover
without spoonful of medicine.
Shall we get along, then. without a
doctor? No; for the case might prove
to be one caHlng for the latter's utmost
vigilance. We would merely impress

Y A similar limitation was affirmed, even
/ in respect to brain diseases, cancer and
consumption, by the New. York doctors
at recent meeting. One said that
members of his own family were living
at an advanced age who, in earlier life,
had had all the syptoms of pulmonary
consumption; that he had repeatedly
seen the same thing in others, that forty
years ago patient of 1his-whose
brother and sister and all the latter s
children died of consumption had had
repeated bleeding from the lungs, had
great emaciation and sinking in of the
chest, and was apparently about to die.

The Mole.

These pretty little creatures are found
In all the grand divisions of the earth
excepting South America. In appear
ance they vary somewhat in different
lands, but their habits are essentially
the same. One often observes long
ridges winding across the lawn or
meadow, and wonders at their origin.
They are made by the mole, in search
of food, for he is voracious little AMI
NAL, and devours thousands of worms
and insects that would prove very per-
nicious. A better knowledge of natural
history would enable us to do justice to
many harmless creatures, and prevent
much personal annoyance, as well as
destruction of property. Annihilate the
dragon-fiy and you will be tormented
with mosquitoes; kill the pretty little
lady-bug and your garden will be de-
voured by the green aphis; slaughter
or drive away the wild birds and then
wonder why worms and caterpillars
swarm upon your fruit and shade trees.
But to return to Mr.: Mole. Nature,
mindful of her most humble children,

and grub that it pursues under ground,
and also to avoid the presence of its
enemies. Mole-catchers, understand
ing this acuteness of smell, keep dead
mole which they, draw through their
traps and the adjoining soil toa remove
the scent of humafl contact. Its usual
habitation is in damp places or near
streams. Their Notifications. are con-
structed in very curious manner. with
long, circular galleries and connecting
passages. In the middle of the lower
gallery is a round chamber or sleeping
apa rtanent. The nest of the female is
in a separate hi1Iock, much larger, and
at some distance from the fortress. The
mole is very dainty regarding itssper-
sonal appearance The body issdark
colored, the feet and tail white. :, The
hair, which is short and very thick,
grows straight out from the skin; there
fore it is always smooth in whateyer
direction the animal moves, and does
not become filled with particles of earth.
In digging they work very rapidly, and
soon bury themselves from sight. The
fore-paws are extremely large and the
bones of the forearm very thick and
strong. The English peasantry say that
the mole works for three hours. then
rests for three, laboring and resting al
ternately through the day.-Huzaape

PREVENTION is BETTER THAN
CURE.

AS it is not clearly proved that
lcprosy is not contagious, it is we'll
that every means be taken to pre-
vent contact between lcpers and
healthy persons. Now, it is a we'll
known fact that friends of the lcpers
90 down to the Branch Hospital Mt
Kakaako to see them, and, although
they do not go inside amongst them,
yet the only separation between
them is an open picket fence.
Through this they touch ono another
and pass pipes to and fro, so that
the separation is only nominal. The
Board of Health thus, while appar-
emily separating lcpcrs, do not do so.
While, therefore, VIC do not wish for
IL moment to prevent them seeing
and talking to their friends we wish
to prevent any actual contact, and
this could be done by the erection Of
n second fence, sufficiently far from
the other, to prevent anything being
passed from those inside to those
outside. They could then see and
talk as much as they pleased with
out any fear of their carrying any
contagion away with them.
1t is the duty Of the Board o
Health to attend to this matter
either in the way suggested above Oh
in some equally cfficacious method
or else to show conclusively that
leprosy is not contagious.
