A Source Of Annoyance and Danger, and
the Dread Of IIalIroad Men.
The frogs on railroad tracks are the
dread OF many railroad men, and they
try TO keep their feet clear OF them. 4
travelling man said the other day: 1T
is the easiest thing in the world to slip
your foot III some Of the frogs. They
ore shaped sometimes like q letter V,
and when you slip your foot in tire open
part Il IL fast. There seems 70 be no
way Of getting it out except to pull the
foot ont OF the boot. a man has not
time for TINT always. | remember once
very distinctly, getting my foot in
frog. had on u pair Of rubber boots,
and ! got my foot fast just as easy as
anything could be. / thought I could
pull It out without any trouble, and as
train was backing down on that part VI
the truck proceeded pretty quickly to
try. Ny foot did not come out. A
little astouished, pulled again, but it
did not come. 1t did not seem TO be
squeezed very tight, and Twas annoyed.
Tie train was coming nearer, and, as
the engineer was backing his engine
down, there was no way TO stop it. l
gave a terrible wrench on my foot, hut
il did not come. The train was so Close
! knew that itwOuld run me. Luckily
the train was coming down on the rail
outside Of my foot. leaned over and
twisted my legs over away from the car
as II came. When the wheels passed by
l knew something WINS crushed, though
it did not pain me much then. The
whole train went over. After they had
got by, rs the boot was pretty well torn,
l managed to pull it out Of the frog, and
was helped to the station. 1t crushed
my foot pretty badly, but not so much
that anputation was necessary, and |
saved my foot and leg"
"why didn't you pull your foot out of
your boOt;' asked the reporter.
-Well, tried that, said the man.
4but couldn't get it out, The frog had
pressed over the sole. No doubt could
have cut the boot off II ! had done it
right away, but thought until it was
too late that | could pull the boot out.
Another man had similar expert
encc. 1t broke his leg. He jumped off
a car and jumped in a frog, Before he
could pull his foot out the wheels ran
over the outer edge of the rail in a SINH
lar way. Those who arc caught are not
always 80 lucky. Once in q while
man is caught and the wheels Of the car
run directly over the frog, and then the
man is injured. Railroad men are quite
unanimous in believing that frogs on
railroad are very treacherous,--New

Nathan Allen, NJ. D., LII. D., has given
many years OF study to physiological,
laws in their relation to great social
problems, He compares tie body to a
complicated machine, 50 thoroughly and
perfectly made that the friction comes
equally on every part, according to the
design in its construction. A change at
any one point destroys the balance, and
thus becomes the entering wedge of dis
ease, Hence, a perfect standard OF
health is where every organ is perfect
in structure and function.
Such standard indicates the law Of
longevity, rs well rs the law of health.
Long life must depend on the harmoni-
Gus working Of well-balanced organi-
cation. Hence, We find that the very
agcdareremarkable FORGIVENESS in their
mental, moral and social clements Of
character.
Hence, too, the classes specially de-
fective in body and mind ARE notably
shortIived. Respiration, digestion, cir
culntiop, assimilation and secretion must
be equally sustained. A failure at one
point diSturhs the harmcnyof the whole.
The same principle lies at the basis Of
the law Of lleredity. The long-Iived Of
to-day have had long-livcd ancestors,
from whom they have inherited we'll

INFLAMMATION IN EGGs.-There is a con-
dition of the egg, little known, which con-
siderably impairs its sanitary value as an
article Of food. Soon after it became the
practice to transport eggs in large quanti-
ties and to long distances by railway trains,
it was found on their arrival that adhesion
had taken place between the membranes
of the yelk and those Of the shell, so that
the yelll could not be turned cut of the
shell unbrolen. On examination by ex-
perienced pathologists this was found to be
the result of true Inflammation the ma
terial of the adhesion was found to be pre-
eisely the same as that of the plastic eXu-
dation in inflammation of the lungs OF
bowels. 1t will at first seem absurd &c
speak Contamination in such an unformed
mass as an egg, but this arises from our for.
getting that, structureless and unorganized
as it seems. the egg, even when fresh laid

from external causes. The cause of this
Inflammation is undoubtedly the shaking
and friction from the motion of the cars
