RAILROAD MEMS WATCHES
They Must BE Good Ones and Reeu.
larly Compared and Inspected.

They Must he Good Ones and Reeu-
larly Compared and Inspected.
A man with smoke ground into his
hands and face walked into one of the
downtown jewelry stores and handed
over big gold watch and card. The
repair man looked at the watch, made
some queer marks on the card and
handed both back. And the man
walked out of the store.
Didn't know you sell on the INSTALL
ment plan," suggested the inquisitiye
loafer.
Don't" was the laconic response.
and then the jeweler explained. THE
man is locomotive fireman, and his
watch was being compared. You see.
it is absolutely necessary that railroad
watches keep good time, and the mat.
ter of making them keep good time has
been systematized.
'"The firemen, engineers, conductors.
rear brakemen and train masters on all
of the roads in this country have or
ders to have their watches compared
twice month and inspected every six
months. On some roads nearly all Of
the employees are supposed to go
through this same routine.
"When a watch is bought by anv Of
these men, it must be passed upon by
the jeweler who has been appointed in
GpectOr for the road that the purchaser
serves. 1t must be a good watch, cost
ing about $50 for the works alone. for
the rattle and jolt of train would Sc
riously affect cheap watch, but it
may be of any make, provided it comes
up to the standard. Stop watches,
watches that tell the day of the week
and such complicated novelties are
barred. A key winder is not accepta-
bic, nor is a watch that has been
changed frcm hunting case to an
open face. An open faced watch is
preferred, though a good hunting case
watch is not turned down on the ma
jority of roads,
After the inspector has passed ia
vorably upon the watch he makes out
a slip to that effect and returns the
watch to the railroader along with the
indorsing slip and small card. On
this card are a number of ruled spaces.
Twice month the railroader brings
his watch and card to the inspector,
who notes on the card whether the
watch was fast or slow and how much,
whether it has stopped or run down
and whether or not he regulated it, In
this manner the inspector can tell just
what the watch is doing and what it
needs.
AT the end of each six months the
watch and the card are taken to the
inspector, who makes a more careful
examination of the watch, issues a new
card to the railroader and sends in the
OLD card to the headquarters of the road

Peppermint For SlceDlesSness.

A physician declares that he finds
peppermint water an efficient remedy
for sleeplessness. This is very SIM
pie cure. and it will not bring forth
from the organs of professional opin-
ion any declaration of unsafeness. 1t
is added that a mixture of spirits of
chloroform and peppermint water Civ
en- in hot water to the victim of nsom-
mia will produce sleep, but perhaps in
the case of the admiXture of choro-
form water may claim a decided share
in relieving the trouble. 1t is at least
easy to try peppermint water. and the
theory of its action is believed to be
founded on it's effect in withdra wing
blood from the brain by attracting II
fuller flow to the stomach.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

From twenty-year-old mulberry
tree 21S pounds Of leaves have been
picked in year.
String beans may be obtained during
the entire summer by planting once a
month for successive supplies.
Some trees are much more unfavor-
able to the growth of plants beneath
them than are others. The worst are
the yew and the ash.
Whenever water is given to pot
plants enough should be used thor
oughly to wet the soil around the roots.
Mere sprinkling of the surface does lit
tie good.
The next time you have bouquet Of
flowers to keep add very little cam
phor to the water in the vase and see
how much longer it's freshness will be
retained.
One of the most satisfactory plants
for house culture is the yellow oxals.
1t will blossom freely if given sun and
water, and its bronze brown foliage
sets off its pretty yellow bloom rarely.
