From Tho Lancet
II VIC are to accept in evidence the figures OF a
conemporary tho minds of railway directors do not
seem 10 feel severely their responsibility for tho over
work OF their employees statement lately pub

period Probably as much might be said OF The mon
employed by many other companies On tho line IN
question thirteen fourteen hours appears 10 have
becn quite common term, fifteen and even eghtcen
by no means unusual 1t is az tho least very doubt
full whether the practice Of working overme should be
permitted IN tho case Of railway officials. Tho
conditions of their calling arc very
different from those of other worhmen- Tho response
btles the need Of Rlertncss and vigilance, and the
perpexties OF their position arc much creator, while
at The same time the difficulties and rsks jnterpOsed
by changing weather fog and darkness are increased
Will admit that working day OF twelve hours
with uttlo or no interruption Of duty, must try ma
teriay the senses and energies Of any ordinary
If tho teaching Of repeated and DISASTROUS mistakes
hitherto attributed to fatigue is OF any value there
Is danger public safety when this limit is much OK
ceeded We we'll aware that pressure OF business
weather and the like may occasionally necessitate
overtime work, but such apparently systematic excess
as that above mentioned Is not TO be explained BY
merely accidental circumstances Tho very prevalence
OF such condition Il proof that department is doing
its work short handed. What Is really needed is
larger staff OF employee The lack OF these may In

might prove too dear saving II IL were secured al

Avoiding Unwelcome Callers.

A Philadelphia business man has hit
upon a novel scheme for avoiding I'M
welcome callers. He has placed de-
tective camera directly opposite the door
of his office. When visitor enters, the
office boy, bright lad and well schooled
in the diplomacy of his profession, turns
the knob and takes an instantaneous
photograph of the intruder. This is
developed and forms one of collection
of undesirable visitors, which is kept in
a book for the boys instruction in the
future. People who come to waste
others time, collectors with bills that
they wish paid and the thousand and one
disagreeable characters known to the
average business man form the basis of

German Remedy for Burns.

The celebrated German remedy for
burns is made as follows: Take of the
best white glue fifteen ounces, break into
small pieces, add to it two pints of water,
and allow it to become soft; then dis
solve it by means of a water bath and
add two ounces of glycerine and six
drachms of carbolic acid; continue the
heat until thoroughly dissolved. On
cooling, this mixture hardens to an elias
tic mass covered with a shining parch
ment like skin, and may be kept for any
length of time. When required for use
it is placed for few minutes in water
bath until sufficiently liquid, and applied
about two minutes a shining, smooth,

The Palace Car City.

The population of Pullman, Ills, the
great palace car city, as shown by the
census of July 1, 1888, was 10,560 per-
sons, against 10,091 the previous year.
On Sept Is twenty-six additional fam
lies had been added, increasing it to
1910. The community continues to be
distinguished for its intelligence and
orderly character. 1t is self reliant and
self sustaining in every way. There are
no idlers. Visitors readily notice the
absence of people from the streets during
working hours. The Pullman bank
statement shows savings deposits at the
end of the fiscal year of $3.50, 157, an in
crease of $39, 2O5 from the same date of
previous year. The number of depos-
itors has increased during the year from
97O to 1,150.-New York Evening Sun.

Railroad I'm the Arctic Circle.

An important engineering enterprise
now in progress is railroad in the arc
tic circle. The Swedish and Norwegian
railroad now building from Lulea, on
the Gulf of Bothnia, to Luffoden, on tho
North sea, is partly situated within the
arctic circle and is some 200 miles fur
Their north than any railroad in Canada.
An interesting meteorological fact stated
in relation to this work is that the snow
fall is bound to be actually less than in
some more southern ATTITUDES, while the
darkness of the long winter nights has
been partly compensated by the light Of
the aurora. The object in view in con-
structing this line is to tap the enormous
deposits of iron ore in the Gellivara
mountains, the approximate exhaustion
of the ore in the Bilbao district render
ing very desirable a new field of non
phosphoric ore suitable for steel rail
making Eagle.

Original Use of Canes.

Somebody has been looking up the his
tory of canes in this country, and finds
that they were originally part of the
repertory of the leaders of the church,
being the principal badge of the deacon.
The cane was about five feet long, and
one end was embellished with big
knob, the other with feathers. When
the small boy rebelled he got rap on
the head with the uncharitable head of
the cane. If the head of the family got
to dreaming of the happy days in the
old English home, the turkeys plumage
on the deacon's cane feathered him into
life again.-Boston True Flag.
