AN UNSETTLED QUESTION
THE BEST METHOD OF REDUCING Ex-
PENsEs STILL A PROBLEM.
Railways Will Ask for Two Years
and Automatic COupIers.

Now that good times have come to the
railroads, and the employees are making as
coed pay as at any time in this line of serv-
ice the results of the different methods of
cutting down expenses becomes of more
than ordinary interest To reduce expenses
different methods were taken. The Penn
sylvania lines made no reduction in wages,
but cut down the force in the train service
and in most other branches, but dropped
men whenever one could be spared without
the loss Of business. The men retained of
course, were satisfied, and now that good
times are again coming to the road the men
dropped are re-employed if they had good
records when dropped In the shops the
plan of cutting down hours of work was
adopted and there was much complaint
among the shopmen over the matter. In
speaking of 1t one of the Pennsylvania Of
ficials said it would have been better to
have dismissed some of the men, as those
retained would not then have grounds for
complaint. The Big Four adopted the other
course, and reduced wages 10 per cent.
While the employees saw plainly that such a
step was necessary, they almost without
exception complained, and at present they
wish to know when it is to be restored,
and this Notwithstanding the fact that a
majority of the employees are making more
money per month than before the reduction
Especially is this true of the train service.
Another method adopted by some roads in
shops, freight depots, ETC., was to reduce
expenses by laying off, each day, rs per
cent. of them; for instance, if one hundred
men were employed twenty-five were laid
off, taking the men in rotation from day
to day, and in that way, with extra time
sometimes, made when there CHANGED to be
a little rush of business the men averaged
five days a week, as shown by actual state
ments. railway official said: This queS-
ton should be considered by the railway
officials and employees in the different lines
while business is good, and committees
should be appointed TO meet and talk over
the matter and agree on some plan of over
coming any trouble which may arise from
another dull period, whether it be tempo
rary or over three years, as in 1894, 1895 and
1896. The time to settle such matters by
strikes is passed Neither railway officials
nor conservative employees who hold the
balance of power want any more strikes,
and the belief prevails that a federation of
the different railway brotherhoods would do
more to regulate such questions and to
make it impossible TO get UP strike than
any steps yet proposed. The last three
years have taught some excellent lessons
relative to the operation of railways, not
only economically, but with the utmost har-
mony and confidence between the officials
and employees"

Some Timely suggestions.
How to Grow Flowers.

How to Grow Flowers
Chinese primroses are probably the most
satisfactory window plants for amateurs
They are incessant boomers.
The Gala must have regular supply of
water and thorough drainage, from the time
it begins to grow in the fall till it is done
blooming at Easter.
For a quick garden. all in bloom. depend
upon the new scarlet Mexican lily, the
white and yellow Chinese lily, planting the
bulbs in bowls of water.
Princess Bonnie in rich red, Champion of
the World in bright pink, and Isabella
Sprunt in canary are reliable winter
blooming roses. HowevtI beautiful a rose
may be for winter blooming, 1t yet must
be built that way" else time and attention
will be wasted in trying to coax the blooms.
The keynote to success with winter
blooming plants is to hav such varieties as
will flourish under one line of treatment.
Bouvardias. Steevias some Additions, some
begonias, cyclamens, oxalis, hyacinths and
daffodis. for instance. will make happy
family, each kind blooming cheerily at a
temperature of from so to 70 degrees.
Steevias begin to bloom in November and
December, and if there is any plant less
expensive, more vigorous in growth, or
more horescent, 1t has not come to notice.

The New Corset.
Godey's Magazine.

Godey's Magazine.
The fiat-fronted bias-cut corset is the
latest novelty in stays, and needless to say
it emanates from Paris 1t is shaped with
a number of cores forming curved bias
sides; this corset conforms to the figure,
following closely the curve of the waist
and allowing the hips to swell out suddenly,
hence it's name, t'the sudden hip-corset."
1t also leaves the bust uncOmpreSSed, avoid
ing the pushed-up effect so unnatural and
ugly where a woman possesses d surplus
of flesh.
The new corset gives the waist wonderful
Slenderness ard SuppleneSs, the widening of
the hips accentuating it TO a remarkable
degree. The dressmakers have accepted
this innovation and are recommending 1t to
their customers.
A fancy model is cut in deep scallops be-
low the waist, while another consists of
row upon row of elastic webbing running
around the figure and stayed at intervals
with satin-coVered steels. An ornamental
Empire corset resembles a deep-pointed
Swiss gTdle and Is fashioned from satin
ribbon about three inches wide; the clasps
are set on the front. and beneath the arms
is a satin casing into which half a dozen
whalebcnes are stitched closely together
A fancy Sirdle-like stay is of coarse Brus-
sells net run with baby ribbon while very
aesthetic Empire stay is of heavy and
coarse guiDure lace; il is set off at the
waist line and is reinforced with a few
satin-cOVered WhalebOnes.

Automatic Train brakes.

Prominent railway officials from all parts
of the country will meet in Washington on
Dec. l to attend hearing before the Inter
state-commerce Commission relative to the
automatic coupler and train-brake law
which becomes effective Jan. 1. 1885, and
should the commission carry out the law to
the letter it would paralyZe freight traffic in
all parts of the country. President and Re-
ceiver John X. Cowen is chairman of the
delegation which is to attend the hearing,
the object of which is to present the appli-
cation of the railroads to have the enforce
ment of the law postponed. Correspond
ence has passed between the Interstate
commerce Commission and the committee
of which Mr.. CoWen is chairman, and this
led to the appointment of Dec. as the date
when a hearing would be given Statistics
have been sent to the commission from most
of the railroads showing the percentage of
freight cars equipped with automatic coup
lerS and train brakes, as required by the
law. The percentage of the Baltimore &
Ohio is among the leaders in this respect.
This is largely due to the 10000 new freight
cars which were bought by Receivers
Cowen and Murray, and the thorough re-
pairs made to q large number of the cars
possessed by the railroad when the re-
ceivers took charge. In making these re-
were put on cars whose condition justified
the expenditure. He added that railroads
generally had followed the requirements of
the law in securing new equipment and in
making thorough repairs of cars already
owned The law requires that enough of
cars must be equipped with train brakes to
enable the engineman to control the speed
of the train. All freight cars must have
postponement for two years of the time for
enforcing the law.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, hut Look for the
Cause.


Heart troubles at least among Americans.
are certainly increasing, and while this may
be largely due to the excitement and worry
of American business life. it is more often
the result of. weak stomachs of poor diges-
ton.
Real organic heart disease is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same great
nerves, the sympathetic and pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is affected
by that form of poor digestion which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food; there is a feeling of oppression and
heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of
the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs. interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also --poisons the blood,
makes IT thin and watery which initiates
ana weakens the heart.
me most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation Of food.
4 MS can best be done by the regular use
aIter meals of some safe. pleasant and eff
Iectlve digestive preparation like Stuart s
dyspepsia Tablets, which may ne found at
most drug stores and which contain valu-
apie, harmless digestive elements in pleas,
ant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
SlStent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.

druggists at 80 cents.
