THE Prussian State railways have for
some time past employed women as
guards at crossings. In order to enable
the male guards to give their whole at
tention to the good condition of the
roadbed, the service has been divided
into two parts, namely, in track an
crossing service While the former is
only done by men, the latter, consisting
chiefly of the closing and opening OF
bars and the lighting and sweeping OF
| crossings, is done by women-in most
cases either the wives or widows OF
guards. On the passing of trains these
women, having black and white scarfs
round their waists and arms, and hold
ing flag in hand, are to stand at the
crossing. Their daily wages are from
so to rs pfennings q23 to 10 cents U. 5.

JUDGE Samuel Randall of Callao, Mo-,
while driving recently saw big black
snake stretched across the road in front
of him. He tried to drive over it, but
coiled, and the buggy passed over it
without touching it. He stopped his
horses and struck at the serpent over
the back of the buggy with his whip.
The snake wound itself around the
spokes of hind wheel, squirmed up to
the seat, and drove the Judge out of the
buggy. 1t coiled on the seat and stared
there, lodging the Judges blows for
some time, until at length he killed it.
1t was over six feet long.
THoMts MURRAY and Emily McKen-
zie of Chicago were married recently,
and that night the boys of the neigh
borhood gave him a charivari. When
Murray asked them to go away they
threw stones at him, whereupon he
heavily loaded an old single barreled
shotgun and blazed away at the tor
mentors. Part of the charge went out
of the muzzle and filled boy with bird
shot; the rest of it went out of the side
of the barrel, when it burst and blew
off two of Murray fingers and broke
his wrist.
A YOUNG man of Lewiston, Me-, drove
to the house of his bride elect on Satur-
day, expecting to be married, according
to previous arrangements. He was
therefore naturally surprised to be told
by the young woman that she guessed
she wouldn't be married just then, that
she had decided that she didn't want to
be tied down to married life so early.
But he made the best of it and departed
with the wedding cake, on which, that
evening, he and his friends Toasted.

not quite ready to do that. She is,
however, beginning to think that she
has made great mistake in life. and to
feel her humiliation very keenlv. But
she is too full of pluck to acknowledge
the error publicly, and so she grows

great many people afflicted with Ca
tarrh who do not know what ais them; and q
great many more continue sufferers who
might be cured.
Thickening of the membrane which lines the
nasal passages, thus making breathing diff
cult; a discharge from the nostrils, more OF
less copious, watery or thick, according to the
stage of the disease a sense Of fullness in the
head; constant inclination to spit; and, in
advanced cases, dropping of intensely dis
gushing matter into the throat are q few of the
prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
Deafness, inf1amed eyes, neuralgia paiRs, sore
throat and loss of sense of smell, are very
often caused by Catarrh.
All these troubles are cured by Piso's RENE
dy for Catarrh, Relief is had Immediately
after beginning its use, but 1t is important that
it be continued without intermission until the
catarrhal virus is expelled from the system
and healthy secretions replace the diseased
action of the mucous membrane. Manifestly
it is unreasonable to expect cure in a short
time of disease that has been progressing for
months or years.
This question of time is provided for in the
putting up of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. 1t is
SO concentrated that very small dose is
directed. The quantity in one package is suf-
fcient for long treatment, consequently the
expense is a mere trile, and there is no excuse
for neglect nor reason for it but forgetfulness.
A cold in the head is relieved by an applica-
cation of Plso's Remedy for Catarrh. The
comfort to be got from it in this way Is worth
many times the cost.
The following letters are specimens of those
received every day, testifying to the worth of
Piso's Remedy for Catarrh:

When to Cut Corn For Ensilage.

Corn to be used for fodder or ensilage
is in the best condition for cutting when
the blossom has dried. The plant then
contains the largest quantity of nutri-
ment and the most digestible matter;
after that the starch and sugar are
changed into cellulose or woody fibre,
and the proportion of digcstible sub,
stance is continually reduced. In cut
ting the corn for ensilage this should
be done when the corn is dry and free
from surface water; the less water there
is in the silo the better the ensilage will
be and it will keep better, as rain or
dew always contains many germs of fer
ment or putrefaction which are washed
from the atmosphere. The cutting and
packing in the silo should go on as
rapidly as possible until it is finished,
as exposure to the air increases the apti-
tude to fermentation.

Live and Dead Ivory.
ONE SORT Is TOUGH AND DURABLE AND
THE OTHER Is BRITTLE AND WEAK.

''That knife handle is worth twice as
much as the other" said an ivory dealer
to reporter as he pointed out two
handsome knives in case. They
looked exactly alike, so the reporter
asked in what the difference lay.
"Well, one handle is formed of live
ivory and the other of dead" replied
the merchant. "By live ivory l mean
ivory taken from an animal recently
killed. That sort of ivory is expensive.
because it is hard to get. 1t is strong,
because there is life in it, and it is used
for the handles of the best knives, and
where dead ivory could not be used.
When an elephant loses a tusk that
tusk becomes what we call dead ivorv.
He sheds the tusk, and it has no strength
in it. 1t is brittle and breaks easily.
and can only be used for the handles of
pocket knives, or in other forms where
the ends are protected. If they were
not, the ivory would split and crack in
very short time The ivory taken
from the tusks of the antideIuvian
mammoths buried in the soil of Siberia
is, of course, all dead ivory. Its uses
are, therefore, limited. If you ever
want to buy any ivory goods, be sure to
ascertain whether it IS live or dead ivorv
before purchasing. If the former. it is
strong and durable, if the latter, it is
brittle and liable to crack, even where
fastened. 1.-THE same rule applies to
horn. Deerhorn and buckhorn, so com
monty used, especially in the handles of
pocket knives, Is much of it made from
the horns shed by the deer, and of little
value. The live horn is more expen-
sive. ~. y. Sun.
