RAILROAD RUMBLE.

Officers Of the street railroad COM
pany in Denver estimate the daily av-
erage loss Of the company, through
the competition of the bicycles, at
$500.
The railroads use 1,326,174 cars, Of
which s3,5e5 are assigned to the pas
senger service and 1.24S,s26 to the
freight service. OF the total 1878 arc
used by the companies owning them.
The Wagner-Pullman Palace car
combination Is an important event in
the railroad world. The Pullman COM
pany was organized in 1867 to operate
a service of sleeping and parlor cars.
The company owns and controls about
500 cars, which are operated over 1871
662 miles of railway in the United
States, Canada, Mexico and in some
places in Europe.
A 25-mile railway for the Philip
pines was recently packed in the hold
of a steamship at San Francisco.
Everything needed for the railroad
was sent except the ties which will
be obtained in the islands. It is said
that the railway will be used to ex-
tend the 30 miles Of railroad now con-
trolled by the American troops. The
engineering coEps will build the
bridges, etc.
The work of cutting down the
grades on the Chicago division Of the
Baltimore & Ohio Rail Road has been
begun and most Of the heavy work
will be completed by spring. The gen.
eral plan contemplates an IS foot
maximum grade from Chicago to Bal
timore, except over the mountains
where helping engines have to be used.
The reductions will cost about $780,
600, but will allow an increase Of near
ly 30 per cent. in train loading when
they are completed.

How to Avoid Cold. During Winter.

How to Avoid Colds During Winter.
"This idea that many people have,
that winter is an unhealthful season,
is all wrong. Winter is just as health
full as summer, if people will take care
of themselves. If you want to go
through the winter without a cold, OBJ
serve these few simple rules:
Don't overhead your house, and
don't stop all ventilation. Sleep in a
cool room, but keep warmly covered.
Always take OF your outdoor wraps
when you come in the house, and al
ways put them on when you go out.
And, lastly, just as long rs there is
snowon the ground, don't go out with
out your rubbers. This last rule is the
most important of all, for two colds
out of three come from wet feet

Eight Can Dine i'm This Clock.

The largest suspension clock in the
world is now in use in the Liverpool
street station of the Great Eastern
railway at Tendon, England. The case
of the clock is 20 feet high and 10 feet
square, and has four dials, each of
which is six feet in diameter. Thirty
people can be accommodated inside the
case, and, on one occasion, dinner was
served to eight guests at one time
within its limits. Access to the clock
is had by trap door in the roof, a re-
movable iron ladder leaGeng down to
the top of the case. The clock is reg
ulated and wound by electricity, and
the only persons who visit it are those
who are attracted by curiosity. Not
far off is the first illuminated church
clock ever set up, that of st. Brides,
which began to show the time to be-
lated Londoners in 1926. The regula-
ton of clocks by electricity was also
a London invention. The first circuit,
consisting of los clocks, was perfected
in 1S78.-Chicago Tribune.

ABOUT LEPROSY.
the Disease Is Due to the Action of O.
special Bacil1us-Little Danger
of COntagiOn.

Leprosy is disease from which this
country is in general free, although
perhaps not so absolutely free as is
commonly believed. Physicians who
are in position to know say that few
II any of our large cities are without
their quota of lepers. Most of these
go about without restraint, the mala-
dy not being far enough advanced to
make them conspicuous, and indeed
often not being recognized as leprosy
even by a physician, if they chance
for any reason to consult one.
There are two forms of leprosy,
known as the tubercular and anaes-
thetic. In the first of these the bacil-
lus attacks the skin and mucous mem
branes chiefly; in the second form the
nerves are mainly, or at first exclu.
sively, involved.
The first form is more rapid in its
development and course, and causes
much Disagreement in its early
stages; the second is of slow progress
and at first is almost unrecognizable
from the patients appearance. Later,
however, it causes the loss of fingers,
toes and other parts, resulting often
in the most hideous deformities.
While much has been written of late
about the spread of leprosy, and many
alarmists predict the most direful re-
suits in this direction from our re
cent territorial acquisitions in Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine is
lands, there is really no cause for APP
prehension.
The disease is due to the action of a
special bacillus, and is therefore spread
by contagion; yet this contagion is
very weak, and a healthy person
might pass his whole life in the same
house with leper and never contract
the disease. The danger of contract
ing leprosy, even in countries where
it is more or less prevalent, is there
fore very slight, unless one is thrown
| into intimate relations with sufferer,
especially with one who has reached
the Lucrative stage of the disease.
The treatment of leprosy is very I'M
satisfactory. From time to time re-
ports are published of remarkable
| cures effected by some remedy, but,
| just as in the case of the repeatedly
proclaimed Consumption cures" in
| vestigation soon shows the reports to
be unfounded or exaggerated.
Cleanliness and proper living are the
best measures yet known for the treat
ment of the disease, as well as for it's
prevention in the case of those who
may be exposed to it's feeble conta-
| gion.-Youth's Companion.
