of efficacy in promoting the safety Of
passengers. This is a general state
ment. In its applicationthere are some
things to be considered. Railroads are
necessity of this day and generation.
There are many risks attending their
use. From the necessities of the case
passengers must assume risks in being
transported as well as railroad compa-
nies in transporting them. Risks can
not be absolutely all upon one side.-
The fact that this mode of transporta-
tion involves unusual perils imposes a
high measure of duty upon railroads in
regard TO care and diligence. Beyond
the exercise, in good faith, of their best
care and utmost diligence, they assume
no duty land the passenger himself takes
the balance OF the risk. The plaintiff,
in this case insists that the defendant
omitted TO .bestow that care and dill
gence that duty required. The road
was at fault, either in having danger
Gus rail in its road-bed. or in running
at too high rate of speed, or in omit
ting to apply the brakes seasonably af-
ter the derailment happened, or in us
ing improper means in the heating OF
its cars, or in omitting to have its
bridge protected by suitable guards to
prevent injury in case of derailment, or
by the concurrence of some one or all
of these causes. The judge then takes
up each one of these alleged causes in
which fault is charged and shows what
can reasonably be expected of a rail-
road in these particulars. If there were
defects ia rails that could not be detect
ed by generally approved tests in such
matters, as it is possible there may be,
it cannot be charged as fault upon
the defendant. 1t appears that rail
broke causing the train to leave the
track. Was the company to blame for
this Several things are to be consid-
cred, chiefly rate of speed. A variety
of testimony was put in in regard to
this point. 1t appears that witnesses
made statements out of court that con-
ficted with their testimony. On this
point the Judge instructed the jury to
use only statements made in court as
evidence. Whatever might have been
said outside can be used only for the
purpose Of impeachinga witness. The
other points were carefully considered.
The proper application Of the brakes at
the moment of danger was point con-
cerning which there was much conflict
of testimony. The question of meth
cd in heating the cars was considered.
This must be done by such methods as
were recognized as prudent and safe in
railroad transportation. In the mat
ter of heating by steam or by any re-
Gently invented process, railroad is
not in duty bound to anticipate ruture
discoveries. 1t can only be required
to use the best methods in vogue at the
time of their application. The same
general principle must apply in the case
of bridge guards. In case of verdict
for plaintiff the question of damages
was then considered. In determining
these there must be no sentiment about
the matter. 1t must be looked at in
the light Of a purely business transac-
ton. 1t took an hour and fifteen min
utes to deliver the charge.
Since the above was i'll type we hear
that the jury returned verdict of So
900 for the plaintiff.

1t was reported that the commission
ers to locate the insane asylum had
purchased the farm of Mr.. Warren OF
Waterbury, paying therefor $4,000.
The location is excellent, probably the
best that can be found in that section.
Later reports say that the price paid is
much less than s2O,000 The Repub-
lican of St. Johnsbury regards this as
the consummation of the grossest out
rage known in the history of Vermont.

Doctors still disagree. The Rutland
Herald the other day made the remark
that .'while Rome was burning Nero
fiddled." Then it proceeds to kick the
theologians for discussing the part of
Providence in the Penn. disaster and
neglecting to collect money for the suf-
ferers. We think, however, that the
theologians have discussed Providence
and helped the sufferers also. But this
thrust has no meaning for the Rutland
Telegram says that Nero did not fiddle
while Rome was burning. 1t is proba-
BILE that Nero was busy gathering up
his good clothes to get out of the city.

The papers of the country during the
past week have been filed with accounts
of the great floods in Pennsylvania and
especially in the Conemaugh valley.
In connection with these floods there
are given accounts of other floods, great
and small, that have happened in times
past. We think every food must have
been mentioned except that of Noah.
Not many seem to have heard of that.
This happened some years ago, but the
loss of life if not of property, was prob
ably greater than in any food that has
happened since. Our readers viii find
an account of it in the early chapters of
Genesis.

1t is said that Commissioner Valen-

There is a great deal OF indifference on
the subject. One difficulty is found in
being able to secure straightforward,

THE BABY COACH.

Keep the little ones out in the air as
much as possible is the advice given by all
physicians. Nothing helps the mother to
do this as much as the baby-coach. If it
is warm weather he can be far cooler than
in mammals or in nurses arms; if il is
cold, he can be tucked in with soft little
blankets and an afghan and be much
warmer than if he were carried. But the
coach is often put to still another use
that of baby's sleeping place. 1 know one
mother who puts her little girl in the baby
carriage nightly. 1t stands by mammals
edside and if baby wakens or becomes
restless during the night all she has to do
is to reach ont her hand and move the
coach gently up and down. This is good
substitute for that abomination known as
a cradle When a coach is in motion it
has steady, gentle movement Chat is, Of
course, if guided by proper hands, while
the cradle is dashed from side to side,
keeping the child quiet because it is being
made dizzy and stupid, rather than amused
or rested

FOR POULTRY RAISERS.

1t is a good plan for the poultry breeder
to keep some of his finest hens himself,
and purchase handsome male elsew here,
as any in-breeding dctracts from the stam-
ina of the offspring. If this course be fol-
lowed, be not only improves his stock
year by year, but has the advantage of
keeping hens on the place which are ac-
quainted with their surroundings and his
mode Of management.
When the whole stock is to be bought,
it should be procured as early in the sea-
son as possible. In fact, | should much
prefer wintering my own fowls to having
someone else do it for me- Winter is a
very trying season on turkeys and special
attention should be paid to their food;
they are apt to lose their appetite and be-
gin to droop if fed for considerable
length of time ON any one kind of food.
A variety is absolutely necessary to keep
them in good condition. Do not overieed
them at any time; at the end of every meal
make the flock wish that the feeding pan

as rich food as chickens, nor are they as
accommodating in eating every and any
sort Of thing. Five or six years ago | left
home during winter, leaving one whom
considered a very prudent person in charge
of my fowls. This person was very
generous disposition, and after the pork
Saaeos was nyer divided the seraps af
meat which we had always given to the
chickens among the turkeys also, and the
consequence was that when got homo
thirty of my turkeys were dead. People
should exhibit the same amount of COM
mon sense in caring for fowls as they
would in attending to any other kind Of
live stock. and regulate the food, both in
quantity and quality, according To the sea-
son Of the year and temperature of the
weather. Farmers Daughter, in Country

A DRunMER.s SMART GAME.

A short time ago a drummer from abroad
called at a Bangor livery stable and want
ed double team for ten days trip into
the country, and the stableman refused to
let him one on the ground that he was a
stranger There was much discussion
over the matter, and finally the drummer
said:
sWhat is your team worths"
-Four hundred and fifty dollars was
the answer.
'If pay you that sum for it will you
buy 1t back again when | return?" asked
the customer, and upon receiving an affirm
alive reply, he promptly put up the cash.
Ten days later he retained and, driving
into the stable, he alighted and entered the
office, saying, sWell, here is your team,
and now want my money back.
The sum was passed to him, and he
turned and was leaving the place, when the
livery man called out, Look here. aren't
You going to settle for that team"
.sFor what teamsr asked the drummer,
in surprised tone.
.sFor the one you just brought back. =
swell, now" drawled the drummer,
ssyou aren't fool enough to think that
would pay anybody for the use of my own
property, are yous" and he shook the dust
of the place from his feet Bangor Com
