after his appointment has the right to
name substitute, who is to do his
work when the carrier is sick or inca.
pacitated for work. Generally the
carrier appoints some member of his
family, as he has to supply his horse
and wagon for the service, and of late
the carriers have been naming their
wives, sisters or daughters and some.
times their mothers as their substi-
tutes. The department has found that
these substitutes have performed good
work, and that their sex has not inter.
fered with the rural delivery, so when
a woman is named now as substitute
she is accepted.
The department officials say that
women make very good rural carriers,
and they do not lose time gossiping
when delivering the mail as one would
suppose, and that the innate love of
gadding about and visiting their
friends to see what is going on makes
the female like the work and forget
the drudgery and hardships incident
to daily drive of twenty, thirty or
even more miles in all sorts of

A Veterans Story.

Bath, N. Y, April 13th-The first
consideration of the Commandant and
Officers in the conduct of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home here is the health
Of the veterans. Kidney Troubles are
the most common cause Of ailment,
very few of the old men escaping these
in some form or other
OF course the comrades do as much
as possible for themselves, and one of
the most popular and useful remedies
employed is Dodd's Kidney Pills,
which seem to be almost infallible in
cases of Kidney arrangements Indeed
there are among the veterans several
who claim to owe their lives to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came
to the home from Minneapolis, Mimi,
was given up by four doctors in that
city. He had Bright's Disease, and
never expected to live through it, but
his life was saved and his health re-
stored by Dodd's Kidney Pills. i.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men, and no
one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills
for any Kidney Trouble has been dis
appointed.

we seek out the man whose ship is
struck and sunk by a whale in mid
ocean, and who takes to the boats
and reaches land after weeks of buff
feting, and the men whose ships are
crushed in the ice, and their story is
as prosaic as the story Of the man

About Railway Brakes.

The fundamental principle govern
ing the application of a brake to a car,
says an engineer who has recently in
vestigated the subject, is to stop short
at the point where the wheels begin to
slip or "skid." When this occurs it
not only flattens the wheel, but effect
i've braking ceases. "Skidding," how
ever, ought not to occur in practice,
for, by the use of sand, cars may be
stopped as quickly as is consistent
with the passengers safety without
reaching the sliding point. Sometimes,
even, the cars stop too quickly for
comfort, and lit looks" as critic
says in an electrical journal, "as if
any material increase in brake eff.
cheney would have to be followed by
putting the passengers into padded
compartments" Hand brakes are
found to be quite ineffective, and most
OF the brakes on trolley cars are hard
ly powerful enough to secure perfect
safety.-Success.

made a boat journey in Hudson bay as
remarkable as the journey of Dr.
Kane, and he had nothing to say ex-
cept that it was four weeks and five
days from the time he left his ship in
a whaleboat with two comrades until
he reached fur station. In answer to
persistent questioning reporter
dragged from him that it was hard
work." and a shipmate spoke up for
the adventurer and explained to re-
porter that there was not minute Of
those five weeks, night or day, when
the little boat was not menaced by the
floating ice which piled up about them
on occasions as high as the church
steeples. And against Nansen's per-
Torrance we can produce a whaleman
who put half a dozen pieces Of hard
bread in his pocket and, in midwinter,
left his ship in the Arctic, in latitude
Is or Whereabouts, and walked 1900
miles back to civilization. And to
save him he couldn't understand why
the reporters wanted to talk with
him. He didn't see why he was an
object Of interest.
Hence it is our habit to say, often
in the spirit of criticism or at least
regret, that our whaleman is not lin.
