Railroad Troubles.

Something or other is the matter with all these railroad men," said the solemn passenger in the Michigan Gen. tral railroad station as he looked over the folders of the various roads in the rack.
 ''So there is with everybody" said his companion.
 But railroad men h@Ne specific con- plaints," he insisted. Here's one, for instance, who is a Pennsylvaniac; an- other has Michigan Centralgia; third has Eriesipelas; a fourth has c. H. 6 Debility; fifth has l.. & Entasis; 8 sixth has c. & Odontalgia; seventh has Atchison, Topeka 6 Santa Faintness; an eighth has c. B. & Cutaneous trouble; 8 ninth has Wabashfulness, and so on to the end of the chapter"
 "Um-er," said the other, comprehend ing the idea, as he laid down bill to pay for sleeper, "and none of them is so bad as the Pullmanary complaints of the travelling public"
 Then they picked up their bags and boarded train for the south.-Detroit Free Press.

The Two Headed Woman.

Millie Christine, the 1.-two headed nightingale. "the colored wonder of the world," etc., was born near Whteville, s. O., in the year 1851, of slave parents. She, they or it is hardly monstrosity, but rather phenomenon or freak of na- ture. She has two busts and pairs of shoulders, two heads, four arms and four legs, and, so an anatomical examination has proved, she has two hearts, two sets of lungs and two sets of digestive or gans. In fact, she is two distinct per sons blended into one at the waist.
 Mentally she is certainly two, being able to carry on two separate converse tions on different subjects at one and the same time. She is fine singer, one voice being high soprano and the other & clear toned contralto. She is highly educated woman, or women, and speaks several languages fuently, among them German, French and Spanish.
 She is without doubt the greatest or one of the greatest human wonders born this century, her physical makeup being wonder to the scientists and a puzzle to the common people in general.-St. Louis Republic.

The Maidstone FalIacy.

"The maidstone story Is going it's rounds again" said Dr. Arnold. at the Great Northern yesterday. "It is the property of this wonderful agent to stick to raw surface of flesh and suck the poison out of it-that is, the owners say so. As matter of fact no organic substance can suck except by the aid of machinery. Again, in ninety-nine cases out of 100, the dog bites are harmless, and there is no poison to be sucked out Thirdly, credulity is one of the most ef- fective cures in the materia medica, and ought to be used oftener where people have ho real disorders. The whole tra- dition of the maidstone comes from the absorptive power of any anhydrous mineral Such stone is filled with pores, and, by process akin to that of capillary attraction, the water that it has lost-in the course of centuries per haps-it will soak up again when in con- tact with liquid.
 "If one wishes to know the action of a maidstone let him put piece of dry clay or shale to his tongue. It will stick. There is all there is to it. There are millions of tons of madstones in every state in the Union, and every fam fly can afford to be without it. These stories of mysterious stones that have bought at enormous prices from voodoos or hoodoos and wizards, are all hum- bug."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

BROAD TIRED VEHICLES.
A Movement to Encourage Owners
 Heayy Trucks to Use Wide Wheels.

A Movement to Encourage Owners of
 Heavy Trucks to Use Wide Wheels.
 The proposed ordinance to encourage the use of broad tired wheels on traffic vehicles in this city, introduced by AL derman Mann, is to be commended. It Is in the line of improvement that should long since have been resolved upon, and ought now to be adopted. The ordi nance provides that any person desiring to use any wheeled vehicle for traffic upon the streets in Chicago shall first obtain license therefor, and that the fee for such license shall be in propor- tion to the width of the tire and the maximum load, including the wagon.
 The minimum fee is $1 for all vehi- cles, and this is all that is to be charged for wagons and trucks having tires of not less than A inches, however great the weight they bear. But for tires of 24 inches or less the cost of the license is 80 for one ton and rises from that to $50 for four tons. For the latter weight on tires of 8 and 314 inches the fee is $30, and for inches $10, smaller weights being charged for in proportion.
 The ordinance properly provides that the weight of the vehicle shall be counted In with that of the load, but is defective in not pointing out some way in which it may be ascertafned if the licensee tells the truth when he applies for the li- cense, or if his employees load the vehicle beyond the specified weight without his knowledge. Supposing that he or they put load of 1,500 or 2,000 pounds on wheels licensed to bear only half ton, who is to tell that the terms of the ordi- nance are being evaded, perhaps in hun dreds of cases every dayr
 It would be well to provide that every licensed vehicle must carry a plainly posted statement of the load it is allowed to bear on it's wheels, and that it shall be the duty of police officers or others to watch for infringements on the limit so stated on the vehicle. The policeman should be instructed that in every case where he thinks he has good reason to believe the load exceeds the prescribed maximum he shall cause the vehicle to proceed to the nearest available scale and there be weighed. If he finds the total load to exceed the limit, it should then be his duty to take the offender to bu6 utdItSb SbdLlOu anu tultI COlu- plaint against him, so that the law can deal with the person responsible for a breach of the ordinance.
 By these means the taxpayers will have insured to them the preservation of such pavements as have been put down in good shape; there will be an incentive to insist upon the proper performance of contracts for paving, and the taxpayers will be saved enormous sums that are now spent in repairing and relaying street pavements years before they ought to be worn to the point of repair or re- newal.
 It is notorious that the vehicle which has narrow tires in proportion to its heavy load breaks up pavements rapidly and badly, and is the most destructive to those which would be most desirable were it not for the mischief wrought by narrow tires and causeless tearing up of the streets.-Chicago Tribune.

Earthquakes and Vegetation.

When people tell us that earthquakes are capital things we may reasonably be allowed to entertain suspicious regard ing their sanity, but if they follow up their assertions with reasonable argu- ment then we must perforce give them some attention. Signor A. Gioran has been collecting a number of observa- tions, from which he deduces that the effects of siesmic shocks upon vegetation are to favor a more rapid germination of seeds and more rapid growth of the young plants, thus resulting in greatly increased luxuriance. These results he believes to be due not to the direct inf1u- ence of the tremor, but to three second
 ary causes, among which is the pro duction of electricity, which always ac- companies stresses in the earth's crust.
 In connection with this we may notice some experiments by Professor A. Aloi, on the influence of atmospheric electric ity on the growth of plants. From ob- servations made chiefly on Lactuca scariola, Zea mais, Triticum ostivum, Nicotiana tabacum and Vicia faba, he concludes that this influence is distinctly beneficial. Further experiments have demonstrated that the electricity of the soil has similar influence on the germ1- nation of seeds.-Electrical Review.

Lessened Demand for the Horse.

It has already been stated that the electric motor has displaced about 30, 900 horses in one year in the street railway service. In cities where the electric railway is in general use livery stables are going out of the business and private families are giving up the use of car riages, partially because of the facilities for rapid transit and particularly for the reason that it is not pleasant to be passed by the swiftly moving cars, espe- cially when the risk of runaway must also be considered. If there is les sened demand for the horse, which now appears probable, there will be less number raised, as he is of no economic value except as beast of burden. The land now devoted to his support may be utilized for other purposes. The com petition of the electric with the steam railway is also ignifcant.-Electric Power

Advice to Young Artists.

Susan Hayes Ward says to young art ists: "Stop inventing. Give up your cherubs, your castles, your moated granges, for the live babies, the farm house and the rail fences that are all about you. Go to good art school and test your capacity. There is nothing better to take the conceit out of one than to enter large studio. Draw and continue to draw, but always from a model and never from imagination, and if circumstances so hem you in that you cannot leave home for the large city studio find a good teacher connected with an accredited school of art who will teach by correspondence, and do not presume to open studio and invite visitors to buy your pictures until you have had the training of the schools You are making grave mistake. Your work betrays not only immaturity, but ignorance. You will be ashamed of ii as soon as your eyes are trained. Close your studio and go to school. ol."-Provi dence Journal.

An Advantage.

Some very interesting comparisons have lately been officially put forth showing Great Britain's increase in na- val strength during the past six years. The figures show that her claim to the title of mistress of the seas" is in no immediate danger, but they also show that one very burdensome source of ex- pense each year which the admiralty is called upon to bear consists in overhaul ing, reftting and in many ways rejuve- hating warships that but few years ago were among the marine wonders of the world.
 The United States have at least one thing to serve as a consolation for hay ing been so long without any navy worthy of the name. The money we now spend in building up navy nearly all goes for new work; for construction and not for reconstruction. - Chicago Herald.

Actress Fannie KembIe Dead.

LONDON, Jan. l7.-Frances Anne Kem- ble (Mrs. Pierce Butler), the well known actress, is dead, aged eighty-three. In 1882 she visited America, and with her father performed with great success at the principle theaters of the United States. An account of these wanderings is given in her Journal of Residence in America" in 1855. At this period she became the wife of Mir Pierce Butler, a planter of South Carolina, from whom she obtained divorce in 1889. She resumed her maiden name and retired to Lenox, Mass, where she re- sided, with the exception of year spent in Italy, for nearly twenty years. From 1869 to 1873 she was in Europe. She then re- turned to America, but subsequently, came back to London, where she resided until her death. She published many volumes of her own works

Monks and Governor at Ioxrerbeads


 A serious conflict has broken out in the Philippine islands between the Span ish viceroy, General Despujols, and the religious orders -Jesuits, Augustines and Franciscans-whose chiefs have tel egraphed to the Madrid government that they will leave the islands if the viceroy be not immediately recalled. These pow erful orders have more influence over the natives than the Spanish authorities, and this influence the viceroy attempts to check.
 These orders prevented the Bible so- ciety from establishing depot in Ma nila, and they were the promoters of the action of the Spanish authorities against the Protestant missionaries recently maltreated and expelled from the Caro- line islands, where they had been estab- lished and fourished for upward of thir- ty years.-Cor London News.
