Where Good Citizens Come From

The country boy or girl is face tc
face with practical realities. Heses:
how slowly money is made on the
farm; he is taught from youth up
the need Of economy; he has the ma
ture OF saving first explained to him
every day in the week; he is not ex-
posed to the temptation Of the sa-
loon or ballroom, and be is not so
much Of a lady's man before he has
occasion to use razor on his downy
cheeks. He may be trife rude; he
may not feel easy in company, but in
the long, closely contested race of
life it is the chap thst trudges to
school bare footed in summer and in
stogas in winter, whose mother cuts
his hair with the sheep shears, who
leads the chap that goes to the city
school with the starched shirt front
and fancy slippers, and whose head
is shaved with lawn mower at the
barber shop. Such has been our OBJ
servance, and we think we know what
we are talking about.-Iowa Home

What's the Remedy, Colonel Bob !!
n. ]. Erening Post. Nov. II.

Colonel Bob Ingersoll took up the
labor problem IL 4 lecture last night
and remarked. among other things, if
correctly reported, that: There is
sometimes wrong in every govern
ment where they who do the most
have the lesst; where idleness is bur
dened with wealth and industry pinch
cd with famine; where honesty wears
rags and rascality robe; where the
loving and tender eat a crust, and
where the Infamous sit at bsnquets'
We tii thin i K # # very @ likely this is true.
There is fearful amount of wrong
in the world in every direction. But
We did not need an orator of Colon
el Ingersoll's powers to tell US this.
Dennis Kearney could do it, and, in
deed, did it. What we need to know
is what is this wrong, and how we
are TO cure it. By what Legislative
process can we give honesty proper
clothing and take the robes away from
rsscality, give the loving and tender
good square meals and put the infa-
nous on short commons? The coun
try is swarming with orators and
writers telling us there is a wrong
somewhere or else Jones and Brown
would not be SO short of money, and
Smith and Black would not have so
much. We respectfully submit that
We have had enough of this talk, and
it works infinite mischief. What We
need now are workable plans of pre-
venting poverty and failure in life.

A Railroad Horror.

PITrsBURG, Nov. 18.-The limited
express coming East on the Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and st. Louis Rail
road, which was due in this city at
$50 this morning, was wrecked by
landslide at Jones Ferry, on the out
skirts of the town, and number of
persons were injured, two of whom,
it is thought, will die from the results
of their wounds. The heavy rains
of the past thirty six hours had loos-
ened the earth along the road aud
the conductor of the limited had
been instructed to proceed carefully.
The train was running slowly, not
making more than ten miles an hour.
just at the time it reached JONES'
Ferry q mass of rocks and earth
came tumbhng down a precipice 40
feet above. The first part of the train
escaped, but the hugh mass crashed
into the three sleeping cars.
The interior of the first of the sleep
ing cars was almost completly de-
molished. 1t was the Cincinnati car
and fortunately had smaller num-
ber of passengers on it than any
coach that has gone out of Cincinna-
ii on the limited for months. All OF
the occupants had arisen, and most
of them were in the forward part OF
the car, making their toilets. The
two other sleeping coaches were bad
ly wrecked The scene following the
accident was indescribable. Womer
shrleked and children screamed, while
above all was heard the groans OF
the injured, who were wedged in be
tween the berths and the rocks una
BILE to move. For a moment those
of the passengers who had escaped
uninjured were so dumbfounded tha'
they stood motionless. The sleeperl
were completely filed with dust, ant
it was difficult to determine which o.
their number had been most serious
" injured The moment the crasf
was heard the engineer stopped the
train, but as soon as the conductor
saw the results he cried Hurry OF
to the Union station. We don t wani
to wait minute, as we must care
for the injured" The train was then
started and in a few minutes the
station was reached. A full corps OF
surgeons and company attendant:
were on hand to carry out and cart
for the injured 1t was found thai
eight passengers had been seriously
hurt, while probably as many m0st

How Animals Doctor Themselves.
New Orleans Picayune.

New Orleans Picayune.
Animals get rid of their parasites
by using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those
suffering from fever restrict their
diet, keep quiet, seek dark, airy pla-
ces, drink water and sometimes
plunge into it When o dog has lost
its appetite it eats that species of
grass known as dogs grass, which
acts as an emetic and purgstive.
Cats also eat grass Sheep and cows
when i'll seek out certain herbs. An
animal suffering from chronic rheu.
matism always keeps, as far as posi-
bic In the sun The warrior ants
have regularly organized am mbulances.
Latreille cut the sntenua of the ant,
and other ants came and covered the
wounden part with a transparent
fluid seereted in their mouths. II q
chimpanzee is wounded it stops the
bleeding by placing its hand on the
wound or dressing it yith leaves or
grass. When an animal has wound
ed leg or arm hanging on, it cou-
pletes the amputation by the means
of its teeth. A dog, on being stung
in the muzzle by viper, was observ-
ed to plunge mis- head repeatedly for
several days into running water.
This animal eventually recovered. A
sporting dog was run over by a car
riage. During three weeks in winter
it remained lying in brook, where |
its food was taken to it. This ami
NAL recovered A terrier hurt his |
right eye, 1t remained under coun-
ter, avoiding light and heat, although
it habitually kept close to the fire. 1t
adopted general treatment, rest and
from food. The local
treatment consisted 10 licking the
upper surface of the paw, which it
applied to the wounded eve, again
licking the paw when it became dry.
Animals suffering from traumatic fe-
yer treat themselves by the continued
application of cold water, which n.
Delaunay considers to be more GER
tsin than any of the other methods
In view of these interesting facts we
are, he thinks, forced to admit that
hygiene and therapeutics as produc-
ed by animals may, in the interest OF
psychology, be studied to advantage.
Many physicians have been keen OBJ
servers Of animals, their diseases, and
the methods adopted by them in their
instinct to cure themselves. and have
availed of the knowledge SO brought
under their observation in their prac-
tice.

had received painful cuts and bruises.
Pullman Conductor T. w. DeGroat,
who was in the rear car, say the train
was running at speed of ten miles
when the crash came. The scene
following cannot be described. The
passengers who were not injured ran
wildly about not knowing where to
go or what to do. One woman rush
ed into his arms and tainted. No one
was badly hurt In his car, but in the
two front coaches the injured were
quite numerous. One piece of rock
struck the middle of the car and slid

rear of the car, where it lodged, crush
ing the sections to atoms. An old
gentleman and his daughter had left
the section minute before, or they
would have been killed.
The sleeper Williamsport was
struck by the stone weighing almost
a ton. Mrs. Lieutenant Glass had
Just got up and passed into her state
room. Her seat and berth were
smashed to pieces. The large rock,
when it struck the bottom of the car,
glanced toward the rear of it, and
broke the seats as though they were
spider webs. One gentleman from
Philadelphia, j. X. Lewis, sat op
posite Mrs. Glass. He heard the
crash, jumped up and half of his seat
was smashed under him. He escap-
ed without injury with the excep-
tion of some broken glass in his
face and ear. One or two ladies in
the front of the car tainted and
dropped over the seats. They were
believed to have been killed. Two
ladies who were in the state room
