STREET CAR CONDUCTORS,
They Work Harder and Rate Lower Than
Their Steam Road Brothers,

They Work Harder and Rate Lower Than
Their Steam Road Brothers.
You often think it's hard for the pas-
senger conductor Of an accommodation
train which stops at two or three sta
lions to the mile to tell who has paid
his fare and who has not The conduct
or Of a short run accommodation train
especially must be peculiarly gifted
man. He must be at once both cool
headed and even tempered or if not he
is total failure
But if the requisites of a railroad
! conductor are such, what are the re-
quirements of the man who runs COM
mon street car? Why, as much as those
OF the railroad man and several times
more. The railroad accommodation con-
ductor on one of the short run trains
which leave the big cities has little
more work, little more responsibility
and requires less real skill than the man
who by grace is called conductor" on
trolley car Of one of our cities.
Both men, of course, have thousands
Of cares. The railroad man has certain
number of stops to make and a certain
schedule time allowed for getting over
his run of the railroad The street car
conductor has an uncertain number Of
stops to make, yet he still has his GER
tain scheduled time to make on his run,
and he must make it, too or be able to
give an ga No. /" excuse for failure.
The railroad conductor is always the
biggest man on his train. Is ever the
street car conductor the biggest, unless
every passenger is off and the motorman
also? These things make it hard for the
patient man, who must be polite and
who is expected by the company for
which he works and spurred on by
dozen or SO sharp eyed "spotters, F." or
street car detectives" as they call
themselves, to feel as lovely as spring
morning, and they make his already
nervous work doubly So The railroad
conductor doesn't meet that phase Of
existence once in decade, or if so not
any oftener
No one presumes to expect SO much
from the knight of the ticket punch as
he does from the knight of the trolley
rope Every one who travels on street
cars expects the conductor to know
every cross street ON his line and Just
where it strikes that street, and, in
deed, he should know this much, but in
addition he is expected to know every
one who lives on the streets along
which his line runs, every one who
lives on all the countless streets which
cross the route Of his car and then all
the immediate streets and their inhabit-
ants the whole length of his line. The
street car conductor is expected to be
porter as we'll on his car He must help
people on and off, lift up and lift
down huge baskets and bundles, never
get tired of all the questions which
only the city directory could answer,
and then, in addition, keep all of the
strict rules of the company for which
he works and see to it that all of his
passengers do so too. For this work he
gets 50 or 50. 90 day, while the rail.
road conductor, who is very king in
comparison, draws his So or So per day.

Our Temperature.

The ordinary temperature Of an adult
when thermometer is placed in the
armpit is 98.4 degrees, in the mouth
so. 8 degrees. The blood is about 100
degrees. Blood heat is marked on the
thermometer at 80 degrees f. In fevers
this is much exceeded, and the heat of
the patient may rise to 105 degrees or
1O6 degrees. A higher temperature than
this will generally prove fatal unless
1t descends very quickly. The highest
temperatures recorded have been in
some cases of rheumatic fever, when
that of the body rose to 100 degrees
and even to III degrees.

VEXATlOUS.

What wondrous days indeed are thess
When science shows a light
On any pathway that you please,
That you may turn arightl
Yet life is filed with terrors new.
The hours grow dull and long.
For everything you care to do,
The doctor says, is wrong.
Who tries to MARBLE is forbid
Lest germs attack his throat.
The dancers proves must be hid,
Though he may screech a note.
Who dimes in carelessness complete
Is tempted by the throng,
But he who likes to may not eat.
The doctor says it's wrong.
You shun the water sparkling fair
Lest foes lurk there disguised.
You mustn't breathe unless the air
Has been well analysed.
Thoughtless you turn, as is your won't,
With an affection strong,
To kiss your baby. But you don't.
The doctor says it's wrong.

Soldiers Beds.

The soldiers bed varies notably in the
different European armies. According
to DR.. Viry, the following are the prin-
cipal varieties, in which, perhaps, we
may see the reflection of national char
acteristics. In England the bed is hard.
The soldier lies on a thin mattress that
rests Oh canvas stretched over a frame
In Spain the soldier has only straw
bed, but he is allowed besides this pill
low, two sheets, two blankets and a
covered quilt, sometimes even a cover
for the feet 1t is almost sybaritic. In
Germany and Austria he has simple
straw bed with one or two covers,
neither sheet nor mattress III Russia,
until recently, the soldier slept with
his clothes OH Oh a camp bed, but now
ordinary beds begin to be used-the re-
suit of contact with more civilized
countries. After this it cannot be doubt
ed that the French soldiers bed is the
best of all, with its wooden or iron bed
stead, straw bed, wool mattress,
sheets, a brown wooden coverlet and
an extra quilt for cold weather. Thus
the bed of the French soldier is the soft
est of all soldiers beds, as that of the
French peasant is acknowledged also to
be the best Of all European countries. -

A DRUNKARD'S HOME.
A Graphic Picture Drawn by Evan
gelist Lee.

A Graphic Picture Drawn by Evan
gelist Lee.
During his sermon one night last
week Evangelist Lee drew the follow
ing striking picture Of drunkards
home:
Look at the drunkard's home. See
the wife in misery, children in rags,
no food, no fire, no furniture. The
saloon gets all the NOR ey and robs
that family of comfort; the husband
comes home reeling drunk, his brutal
anger is aroused, the children hide,
The poor mother turns pale, a blow, a
shrek, a groan, a moan: let the cur
tain drop.
THAT man is converted, he keeps
away from the cursed saloon, stops
drinking, saves his money, buys furni-
ture, supplies food and clothing for
his family, caters to his wife's COM
fort, plays with his children loves his
home, has family prayer, he is a new
man, his wife is happy and looks ten
years Younger, she acts like her form
er self again, heart light, hopes bright,
eyes dancing, face shining, cheeks
RI sy, step elastic, and mind contented.
The children are glad, they love papa,
they meet him as he returns home
from his days work, they run and
greet him with kisses, and are as hap
pv as they can be. The supper ready,
a blessing asked, and to add to the en-
jOyment, the mocking bird sings, the
cat purs, the kittens frolic, the dog
barks, and the kettle on the stove

A Pretty Home Wedding in Salem
Large Array of Presents.

Large Array of Presents.
Last Thursday evening very pretty
home wedding took place in Salem.
The contracting parties were Miss
Adelaide E Lineback, daughter of
the late Rev. r. P. Lineback, and Mr..
Hope Holland, the popular and
gentlemaniy Superintendent of South
Side Manufacturing Co.
The ceremony took place at the
home of the brides mother on Main
street, and was performed by Bishop
Rondthaler according to the ritual of
the Moravian church. Promptly at
half past eight O'Clock the couple ap.
preached the clergyman, preceded by
two attendants, while the well known
wedding march was being played
The friends all arose and with the
solemn words OF the service the con-
tracing parties were pronounced man
and wife immediately after this
the many friends who were present
crowded forward to extend their con-
gratniations, and later partook OF the
many good things that had been pro-
vided fer the occasion. The bride and
groom both have many friends in the
Twin-City, and the company was a
large one.
We noted the handsome and unique
decorations which had been made for
the occasion And an equally
pleasant sight was the large array of
wedding presents. These consisted of
a collection of handsome glass and
China which was ample enough to
make the heart Of even an old house.
keeper glad. Then there was collec-
tion of silver ware and linen, furni-
ture and, we may add, something for
almost every need in connection with
housekeeping.
The many friends present, the large
number Of gifts, and happiness of
the guests all attested the popularity
OF these two young people, and THE
SENTINEL extends its most hearty
good wishes to Mr.. and Mrs. Holland
as they thus start out on their we'd
ded life.

DEAFNESS Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot 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 infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inf1amed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the

BURNED TO DEATH.
Three-Year-OldC Child of Robt. Hub
bard, of Elkin.

Il
bard, of Elkin.
From parties ~ho came down on
the Wilkesboro train last Thursday
it was learned that the three-year-o
child OF Robt. Hubbard, OF Elkin, was
burned to death Wednesday night.
The little one, it appears, turned
over a kerosene oil lamp and his
clothes caught on fire and his body
was soon wrapped in flames.
The mother used every effort to save
her child and in doing so sustained
serious burns on the arms and hands.
1t is feared that one OF her arms will
have to be amputated.
Mr.. Hubbard, the father OF the
child, lost one OF his hands In plan
ing mill about one year ago.
The carpet caught fire, and but for
the immediate presence OF citizens,
the residence would have been con-
sumed.
