QUITE A NOVELTY.

An abandoned railway tunnel in the
city of Edinburgh, Scotland, has been
utilized during the past ten years for
growing mushrooms. For this pur-
pose the floor of the tunnel was GOV
cred with soil and manure. 1t is said
that after some experimentation the
scheme proved to be successful, and
the output of mushrooms is about
5000 pounds per month. Except when
a prolonged frost occurs, the ther-
mometer varies only to the extent of
about ten degrees throughout the year.
In case of such a frost, however, a
fire is lit at the mouth of the tunnel.
There are 800 mushroom beds, the
whole of the floor being covered, with
the exception of a single line of rails,
on which to run the trucks, with soil,
etc. When in full operation about a
thousand tons Of manure are used
yearly, and a thousand baskets Of
spawn. In order to insure its cleanli-
ness, the tunnel is whitewashed peri
odically. The Scottish Mushroom
Company is at present negotiating for
the lease of another disused railway
tunnel under the Law Hill, Dundee,
owned by the Dundee and Newtyle
Railway, for the purpose of growing
mushrooms in it.

CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS.

The British government inquiry in
to the causes of the terrible mortality
among railroad men, which, during
the past ten years reached 4,749 per-
sons killed, while 30,271 were injured,
shows the accidents to have occurred
chiefly among the switchmen. In con
sequence of this showing the board of
trade sent an expert to study the sys-
TENS in use in America. The expert
has Just returned home and brought
with him specimens of the American
automatic couplings, which, he reports,
have reduced the number of accidents
in America by fifty per cent. 1t is
understood that the president of the
board of trade, Mr.. Charles Tompson
Richie, will introduce a bill to make
automatic coupling compulsory in
Great Britain. There is considerable
opposition developing against the bill,
as the change will cost $1,000, 900
($35, O00, 000.)

took eatables from street vendors, re-

vendors aud citizens who took their

The local comment upon these incid-

A THIN DISGUISE.

The cutie fish has a tricky habit of
covering his tracks by exuding an inkv
fluid which discolors the water and keeps
him out of view. There's a good deal of
the cutie fish about some advertise
mepts, notably those purporting to offer
medical advice by a woman to women.
An examination of the advertisement
will show that no offer of a doctors adj
vice IS really made. And all the clamor
about writing to a woman" is merely
raised to divert attention from the fact
that a doctors advice is not really offered
and cannot be given. The real question
is not OF writing to a zU0n7aN or a man
but of writing to a doctor,
For the advice of an UNQUALIFIED
woman is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.
Every day adds to the number of wotn-
en- who take advantage of DR.. Pierce's
genuine offer of a consultation by letter
free of cost. As chief consulting phvsi-
clan of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, of Buffalo, n. ", DIR. r. V.
Pierce has, IN a practice of over thirty
years, treated more than half-a-million
women for female troubles with the re-
markable record of ninety eight per
cent. of cures. Sick women are invited
to consult DR.. pierce by letter, without
fear and without fee. Every letter is
held as strictly private and sacredly con-
hdential, and all answers are mailed
sealed in plai Envelopes without print

Many Akron Citizens.

---Work Well Done.


pace with the reputation of Ak
ron.
| am of the opinion that occa-
slons like our present Street Fair
are educational to a great degree
for our city government and our
people and will tend to increase
the interest on the part of every
one in favor of local advance
ment and public spirit. 1t only
requires active connection with
and experience in public affairs
in Akron to discover a lamenta-
bic lethargy existing on the part
of many citizens from whom you
would expect entirely different
sentiments. To arouse their pub
lie spirit is an enormous task
coupled with many disagreeable
and disappointing experiences.
Aggravating obstacles are placed
needlessly in the way. Personal
feeling is exhibited because men
may differ in their way of doing
things and obtaining results.
But the man who shirks on that
account and who fears because he
may make few enemies or step
on somebody's toes will never be
able to carry out successfully any
public undertaking of magnitude
in any city. Furthermore, a
great many Akron people have
not yet learned to be generous
and liberal for the public good.
Much smaller cities-much poorer
cities-surpass us tremendously
in this respect.
