A SNAIL TRAIN.
where Time and Railroads Almost Move
backwards.

There is branch line in the west
of Ireland where, if anything was for
gotten, the train went back to recover
it. On this line traveller getting out
to stretch his legs, asked the guard:
AsHow long do you wait at this sta
tion?" "We'll go on just whenever it
suits you, SIR was the obliging reply.
He was the only passenger by the
train. Frankfort Moore tells in re-
cent book of delightful station-mas-
ter who used to stroll round the car
riages when the trains stopped with
special inquiries after the health and
comfort of each passenger. The reg
ulars he knew intimately, and all their
concerns, their ailments, ETC., and
everything was inquired after in de-
tail. One day hasty commercial
gentleman, whose patience had given
out, attempted a sarcastic rebuke.
I" Look here, station-master, he
cried SIS there, breakdown

indeed, sir, was the bland reply; but
I'll try and find out for YOU The sta
tion-master went off and did not re-
turn for five minutes. I've tele-
graphed up the line, sir, he said, and
| am happy to inform you that no in
formation regarding breakdown has
reached any of the principal stations.
1t has been raining at Ballynamuck,
but don't think it will continue long.
Can do anything for you, sirp' No,

tleman, meekly. i can find out for
you if the Holyhead steamer has had a
good passage, if you don't mind wait

official; what! you are anxious to get

guard. Good-morning, sir When
the train was at last in motion, a very
old man in a corner pulled out his
watch and then turned to the CONNER

said, tartly, that your confounded in
quiries kept US back just seven min

Deafness Can Not Be Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the

When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be

Varieties In Fruits.

Not many years ago there were
several varieties of grapes, each strug-
Cling to become the favorite of the
public. To-day the trade is chiefly
in the Concord and Delaware varieties.
Early in the COS yellow bananas could
not compete with the red; to-day the
latter have been almost driven out of
the market, though very many still
prefer them. There used to be a
most equal demand Now the Bart
lett and Seckel rule supreme. Apples
and berries to a less degree have
undergone the same process of natural
selection, and now there are one or
two varieties of early apples that
promises to supersede all the rest.

TO AID EMPLOYEES.
A NEW SCHEME OF THE w. l..
DOUGLAS SHOE CO.
VIII Furnish Their Help with Medical
Attendance.

William L. Douglas, the president OF the
world famed w L. Douglas Shoe Co, has
always had y great personal interest in the
army OF men and women VINO inhabit the great
factory at Montello during the working hours
OF the day and who make the greatly adVer-
tised S. shoe.
He is great believer In the idea that manu-
facturers should have this personal interest," IN
the condition of their employees, and feels that
if the idea is carried out to the extent that Is
possible that it will result ultimately In the
breaking down of the barriers which have been
built up between employers and those whom
they employ, as IT would convince the work
ingmen that their employers were not their
enemies, some OF them seem to think now,
but their friends, with desire to do all for
them that was in their power.
Having strong feelings upon this point, IL Is
only natural that Mr.. Douglas should give the
matter some study and acquaint himself with
the result of the trials of similar plans In other
places. He is satisfied that the scheme he has
originated is good one, and he has now put 1t
to practical test.
He has handed to every person in mis- employ
and they form small army-a card which
will enable them to secure free medical attend
ance.
This is a practical illustration of Mr. Douglas
idea. and will surely be appreciated by the
hundreds who receive the cards
The plan is "a good one.
Speaking of the w. L. Douglas Shoe Co. 1t
may be said that their factory is the only one
in Brockton where the principle of arbitration
is recognized and has fun sway. Mr.. Douglas
is firm believer in the principle and has been
arbitration. He claims that labor troubles
would not be as frequent as they are il manu-
facturerS and help would recognize this great
principle and adopt it.

At the foot of the street was large
