A Prediction About Railways.

The following prediction, made by
che Royal College of Physicians of Ba-l
varia in 1886, is now on record in the
archives of the Nuremberg and Furth
Railway, in that country. When it was
proposed to build this line, the ply
sicians of the country met and for
mally protested against it. "Locomo-
ton, by the aid of any kind of steam
machines whatever the Bavarian
physicians declared, Should be pro-
hibited in the interest of the public
health. The rapid movements cannot
fail to produce in the passengers the
mental ailment called delirium furios-

on, "that travellers will consent to run
the risk, the state can do no less than
protect the bystanders. The sight alone

A Good Advertising Medium.

a glance in an Atlanta book store
yesterday made this striking truth
stand forth:
Death is sometimes a big advertise

In no department of human effort do
men put forth such terrific energy as

eye. Men rack their brain for ingeni-
GUS schemes to attract public attention.
The good advertiser is the rarest and
richest of successes.
But some times all the cleverness
and ingenuity Of these brain workers
are beaten and unexpectedly.

an advertisement for Harper Bros.

Is mainly due, perhaps, to the enormous
hotels, with their huge verandas or

MISSIONS.

The annual report of the MOravian
church gives $50 mission stations, 400
missionaries and $4,000 converts in
heather lands
The native Christians in heather
lands last year gave $685., 900, more than
one-ninth the amount raised in the
United States.
The last Of the heather on Efate
Island are being gathered into the
church as the result Of twenty-three
years faithful labor.
One hundred and fifty Chinese con.
verts were baptized during the last
twenty months by Rev. Hopkin Reea
at Tientsin, north China. rs
S AS the American Baptist Home Mis-
sion society is heavily burdened with
debt, the board Of managers Of that
society, at meeting held Sept IA, de-
cided to make no appropriations for
missionaries salaries for the present fol-
a period extending beyond Dec 81,
1896, unless the current receipts mean
time shall be very considerably In
creased.
The vast possibilities open to an in-
dividual society Of Christian Endeavo1
are shown in a report that comes from
Geelong, Australia. The Yarra Street
Wesleyan society, which contains five
divisions and $50 members, has organ
lied a boys club, q mems club, birth
day league for missionary purposes and
Sunday school home department..
During the year it held 20S cottage
prayer meetings, besides seventy eight
open air services; 4.251 visits were paid
and 2,488 loaves Of bread distributed.
The Juniors provided an outing for one
hundred slum children, distributed 15d
bouquets Of flowers and made more
than 500 visits. The other labors OF the

THEIR INFLUENCE FELT.

Women Employees in Germany Have
Improved All Conditions.
The growth Of the textile industry III
the German empire is shown in the re-
suit Of last years census Of mechanics
reported to the state department by
Consul Sawter at Glauchau. In this
industry over LOCO, 600 persons are en-
ployed, and the interesting fact is
noted that there has been a yearly de-
crease of male and corresponding in
crease of female employees.
The exact number of employees was
1l,Ol7,l 12, against 932, 592 in 1892.
Since 1858 the males decreased from
$4,000 to 52,230, a change Of 29,S4O.
Their places have been filed by fe-
males, whose number grew from $780,
522 to 464,316 in the same period. One
curious result Of these changes is the
improved sanitary surroundings and
comfort provided for the employees.
Their every instinct in this way is
being considered to encourage good
and satisfactory labor. Wash rooms
and lockers for non-Working apparel
are provided, and dining rooms, where
coffee and potatoes-the latter one Of
the chief cQmponents Of the luncheon
are roasted or boiled in a special ware
receptacle. There are also separate
lunch rooms for whole families en-
ployed in the factories, where they can
distribute food from the family bas-
ket and enjoy together the recreation
afforded by the MONDAY meal.
