The Slaughter of Railway EN-
plOyeS.
Death for One Man i'm Every 100 and
Injury for One in Every IL.


Mr. Henry c. Adams, statistician of the
interstate commerce commission, presents
in the June number of the Forum the fol-
lowing startling showing of deaths and
accidents to railroad employees:
Total number of railway employees, s49.8J1
Number ajsfsd hS9 II 9 Gos oaS ysSE year. asS5 s5Sl
This means one death for every 306 and
one injury for every 80 men employed.
Contining the statement to those employ
es engaged directly in the handling of
trains, that is to say, engineers, firemen,
conductors, and other trainmen, the results
are beyond the experience in any other
business or trade
Total number of tranmen only, l53235
Number killed in one year, 1859
injured in one year, 13,172
This means one death for every 105 and
one injury for every II men engaged in
handling trains. In no other employment,
not even in mining, which is very dan
| gerous occupation, can such results be
shown.
AS to the chief causes of deaths and in
| juries, the total number killed in coupling
and uncOupling cars was 1863, and the
number injured was 1912; while the total
number killed in falling from trains and
engines was 56l and the total number in
jured was 2363. That is to say, 1894 per
cent of the total number of deaths and
1857 per cent of the total number of in
juries sustained by railway employees re-
suited while coupling cars or setting
brakes.
Out of a total of l 1,l05, ,042 cars used in
freight service, there are but $500 fitted
with automatic couplers and but 100, 1890
equipped with train brakes. We can well
understand, in the light of such figures,
when taken in connection with the fact
that there are A different kinds of coup
lers and nine kinds of train brakes in act
ual use, that so-called safety appliances, as
at present used, increase rather than de-
crease the danger of railway employment.
Mr.. Adams advocates the adoption by
the government of uniform appliances for
coupling, and the requirement that all
roads shall use them.

Last year this country imported flax pro
ducts worth 10000, 600, and at the same
time the farmers of the United States des-
troyed 100000 tons of flax straw as being
useless to them, and yet it has been shown
that the American flax equals i'm quality,
in fibre and in texture any raised in Russia.
The American farmer raised the flax for its
seed only, which was made into linseed oil.
The Mckinley bill put a duty of 50 per
cent on imported flax products, and has
made it possible for the United States to
manufacture flax worth S20,000,00 Not
only is it possible for the United States to
manufacture its own flax stutfs, but by the
introduction of machinery and American
ingenuity in this new field, this country
may export to the rest of the world.

The virulent course of the Rutland Her
aid, after being so strongly repudiated at
Rutland, where - delegates in favor of
Col. Fuller were unanimously chosen and
resolutions strongly endorsing his candi-
dacy for the governorship were passed, has
assumed a new phase this week. Editor
in-Chief Perkins has been making a tour
of observation through Bennington and
Windham counties, sending back to his
paper highly colored and biased reports, in
which he attempts to give a false idea of
the sentiment of the people. He has evil
IDENTIFY searched diligently to find anti-Ful-
Ter men, or those with grievance, and he
gives their views as a last resort, in the
hopes of breaking down the support for
Col. Fuller, which is steadily growing
stronger.

The "DandeIIon" Convention.

The New York "Dandelions. other
wise known as Democratic bolters anti
Hillites, ant-snap convention men. wor-
shippers of the Stuffed Prophet, ct cetera,
held their promised convention at SYRIA
cuse on Tuesday. There was large
attendance, every seat in the hail. which
holds 1000 persons. being filled. The
speeches roundly denounced Hill for calling
February convention, but it is notable
that no allusion whatever was made to
Hills real political crimes-those of steal
ing the New York legislature, enacting an
iniquitous elections law, making fraudu-
lent enumeration of the state, and elevating
Maynard, one of his tools, TO the bench OF
the highest court in the state. A full del
egation to Chicago was elected, but there
seems to be general understanding that
no real attempt will be made by this dele
CATION to take part in the convention.
They will probably content themselves
with making protest and claiming that
the New York Democracy want Grover
Cleveland nominated for the presidency
again this year.

Women generally work twice as

7aid lady whom we found one day en-
gagged in that unromantic occupation.
She had on a pair of stout leather gloves
and was applying the blacking with the
round part of an ordinary shoe-brush,
which she said was lighter and therefore
much more easily welded than the us
ual stove brush. The other side of the
brush she used in polishing with light,
even stokes like an expert bootblack.

Another little thing worth remembering
in regard to stove cleaning is to wipe
the dust from the stove thoroughly be-
fore you apply any polish. There is
always a right and wrong way to do
thing and the wrong way doubles the
task.-American Agriculturist.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Anour AIRING nnns-

In airing beds the most thorough, care
full housekeeper often errs through her
very thoroughness. She will shake the
sheets, blankets, etc., and hang them
out of the window aud over chairs, hav-
ing them all exposed as much as possible
to the direct rays of the sun and in the
strongest breeze, and this is just what
should be done. Then the pillows will
be taken up and shaken aud thumped
until they are fluffy and placed in the
very sunniest spot, and this is all wrong.
The sun will draw the oil from the
feathers, and the pillows will haze
rancid, disagreeable odor. Expose them
to the air daily; be as thorough as you
please in this, and place the pillow slips
in the sun If you wish, but do not make
the mistake Of giving pillows, holsters,
cushions or anything containing feathers
long sun bath, or you will do them
more harm than good.-New York

BAKED AND poTTEp PEARS.

Among fall fruits the pear holds an
important place, although its reputation
has suffered somewhat from improper
treatment when an attempt has been
made to serve pears cooked, either as
sauce or canned.
The pear possesses some peculiar quail
tiles, and requires different treatment
from other fruits.
1t is the only fruit that is better for
being removed from the tree when green
and laid aside to ripen.
1t has no marked flavor of its own, and
readily absorbs that of any spice or
fruit.
1t requires to be cooked much longer
than most fruits. When simply canned,
its only recommendation to most persons
is its looks; and the large, white, per-
fectly shaped halves do look nice, but
are tasteless and lnsipid.
Ripe juicy pears are delicious served
with sugar and cream. The pears should
be put on the ice until cold, peeled,
sliced thin, sprinkled with sugar, and
served Immediately.
Pears bake nicely and make a very
rich dish. They require at least two
hours to cook.
Baked Pears, No. 1.-Wash and wipe
the pears, cut in halves, remove the core
and all imperfections; put in a deep
earthen baking dish, cover with water,
and place in hot oven. When soft,
add sugar and brown.
Baked Pears, No 2.-Select sound,
rNarfacf ,,looa in, holr -
with little water. Bake until thor
oughly done. When cool, remove the
skins, roll each pear in granulated sugar,
and arrange in a glass dish. Serve
with whipped cream.
A housekeeper whose dishes always
prove acceptable and appetizing prepares
what she calls potted pears in this way:
Take nice ripe pears; do not peel but
wipe carefully; cover the bottom of
stone jar with pears, stems upward, and
sprinkle sugar over them, then set in
another layer of pears, sprinkle over
more sugar, and continue until the jar is
full. Put IN pint and half of water
to every gallon of fruit. Cover the jar
close, and set in slow oven two hours.
Housekeepers remote from markets,
who are obliged to buy their supplies
of fruit canned, will find the pears much
improved if treated in this way: Re.
move the fruit from the can, and if the
pears are soft enough for broom straw
to pass easily through them, drain off
the juice and set the pears aside. Put
the juice in porcelain kettle with half
a pint of sugar and a pint of water. Tie
half teaspoonful Of ground cloves in
piece of thin muslin, and throw into the
syrup, which should be boiled until it
looks thick and rich. Then put in the
pears, and cook ten minutes. Carefully
remove each piece of pear with a wooden
or silver spoon to glass or earthern jar,
pour the syrup over them, and cover
tightly until cold. The bag of cloves
should be removed before the pears are
put in the syrup.-Harper's Bazaar,
