TWILL HELP DOWIE
Railroads Purpose Making a Very
Low Rate for His Army
of Restoration.
Dowie Himself Has Been Offered
Private Cars in Which to
Move On New York. 49,.

Chicago March 27.--When John Alex
anoer Dowie's hosts travel to New York
next October it will be at a rate con-
slderably less than one fare for the round
trip, if a proposition made at a meeting
of Chicago eastbound lines yesterday is
approved. Representatives Of DOWie were
present and stated that it was expected
that between $500 and 5000 persons would
go to New York with the Army of Re
storation." The railroad men decided
that the best possible rate -, should be
given There was a rumor to the effect
that the lines had decided to pool the
business, but this could not be confirmed.
1t was admitted, however, that there had
been no scramble for the business and
that there was not likely to be any. The
Zionites will probably go one route and
return another. Dowie has been offered
the use Of the finest private cars extant
and has thus far refused them. 1t is un-
derstood that the majority of the Zion
ties want to go by the way of Washington
and return by the way of Niagara Falls.

DoUBLE-HEApINo DOOMED
Santa Fe and Union Pacific Have Given
Un the Practice,

Chicago, March 27.-Through the eff
forts Of trainmen and enginemen the
practice Of double-heading is gradually
being abolished on American railroads. The
labor clement won a decided victory in
this respect in it's contest with the Union
Pacific and the Santa Fe railroads. After
many months contest over the question
the management of each ra ilroadt& has
agreed to discontinue double -heading ex-
cept In rare instances" .sSi r-:.s.. & II
This victory is considered the final blow
to double heading, i for more than any
other railroads in the country the. Union
Pacific and the Santa Fe need double
headers. The agreement which has been
obtained from these roads is being used
by the trainmen and enginemen as, "a
lever with which to force other railroads
to discontinue the practice. 5&.i: ;.

MasticattOn.

The primary object of mastication is
to break up the food so as to facilitate
the swallowing of 1t and. still more i'm
portant, to insure its intimate admix-
ture with the digestive juices, not only
within the mouth. but throughout the
entire digestive tract. Mastication has,
however. other important and far
reaching effects. Thus 1t promotes the
flow of saliva and, when properly per-
formed, secures a due insalivation Of
the food; 1t increases the quantity OF
alkaline saliva passing into the stom-
ach; 1t stimulates the heart and circu-
lation. and 1t finally influences the nu-
triton OF the jaws and their append
ages by stimulating the local blood and
lymph circulation.

Many, says a contributor, are dis
tressed by the way In which n cat
plays" with mouse before killing 1t.
That the mouse does not suffer 80 much
as might be expected is proved by GER
tain facts told me by friend short
time ago. Her cat after catching a
mouse and playing with 1t for some
time left 1t to go and eat some meat in
a plate on the floor. TO my friends
surprise, the mouse followed in spite
of broken leg and fed for awhile out
of the same dish, the cat occasionally
pushing the mouse aside when 1t came
too close. When both had finished, the
cat ate up his companion, who evident
ly feared death as little as the con-
demned murderers who, we are often
told, late a hearty breakfast on the
morning Of their execution"
