Electric Road Easily Run.

Germany possesses a miniature but
most useful railway. to which NO par
allel s found in this country. Its Pc
culiarity is that its trains have nc
drivers. 1t is used for carrying salt
from the salt mines at Stassfurt.
The trains consist of thirty tracks,
each carrying half ton Of salt. The
engines are electric, Of twenty-four
horse power each. As 1t approaches
a station. Of which there are five
five along the line. the train auto
matically rings a bell and the station
attendant turns a switch to receive
1t. He Is able to stop 1t at any mo-
ment. To start it again he stands on
the locomotive, switches the current
aud then descends again before the
engine has gained speed.

STARS OF THE MILKY WAY.
Distances Computed In Hundreds Of
Millions Of Mllos.

Distances Computed In Hundreds Of
Millions Of Milss.
+ Speaking roughly. we have reason,
from the data SO far available, TO be-
lieve that the stars Of the Milky Way
are situated at q distance between
100 600, 900 and zoe, 100000 times the
distance Of the sun. At distances less
than this 1t seems likely that the
stars are distributed through space
with some approach to uniformity.
We may state As q general conclusion,
indicated by several methods of max
ing the estimate, that nearly all the
stars which we can see with our tele-
scopes are contained within a sphere
not likely to be much more than 2OO,-
100000 times the distance Of the sun.
The inquiring reader may ask an
other question. Granting that all the
stars that We can see are contained
within this limit. may there not be
any number Of stars without the limit
which are invisible only because they
are too far away to he seen?-Har.

SHOES WERE HIS SPECIALITY.
Beggars Waive Explanation Of HIa

"One day last week." observed the
man who has bachelor apartments, "a
chap who bore all the marks of q pro-
fessional hobo presented himself at
my door and begged for pair of old
shoes. AS evidence that he really
needed them he extended a foot for
my inspection. The utterly dilapidat-
ed condition of his foot covering was

"A few minutes later had occasion

at Seventh avenue | noticed ahead OF
me the man to whor, had just given
the shoes. l followed him, not out OF
curiosity, but because my course lay
in that direction. Before long l saw
him enter a secondhand shoe store
A dark suspicion popped into my head
and ! waited until the man came out.
Soon he appeared without the package
Of shoes which had given to HIM
On his feet were the same battered
wrecks which had SO moved M. to

The products of the Chicago slaugh-

ply q listing Of the by-products Of the

When the Independence Party, the

FORMATION or DRUG HAsIT.
Physicans' Prescriptions Arc Dcelsr.
cd Largely to Blame.

The Pharmaceutical Era of New
York is against the realling of pre-
scriptions, and quotes writer as say
ing that, in the great majority CT
cases, the source OF the drug habit
could be traced to prescriptions writ
ten by physicians in the regular way
and filled and reflled until the patient
had become addicted to its USE" The
Era remarks:
"The testimony of experts on tie
drug habit corroborates this state
ment. The statements about the drug
habit made by Pref. Eberle and Mr..
Gordon at the American Pharmaceu-
tical association were recently forti-
fed by gentleman who had every op-
portunity to study the question in
actual life. 1t appears that ti- nor
phine habit especially is ext. .ely
common among the well-to-do. "om-
en- in society carry the use of the drug
openly into the drawing rooms, taking
the convenient little tablets during
intervals of conversation.
1T is said that large proportion
of the slaves of this narcotic owe their
first introduction to its influence to the
family physician, or more frequently
to young doctors who are anxious to
make sudden reputation for mastery
of pain and insomnia. Nothing Is
more convenient or effective than a
dose OF morphine. The relief once
found is sought again, and after a
few trials the habit is established.
ut is easier to prevent the refilling
OF prescriptions than to reduce the
number Of ambitious and impencuni-
GUS doctors. Attack the problem at
the point of least resistance

who figured in the case was drunk
when the attorney for the other side
sought to determine the extent of the
witness's knowledge on that point.
How do you know she was drunk? ?"
inquired the attorney.
Why. because she was just drunk -
But how did you determine that?"
From her breath"
"Ho! Then the breath is a sure
index of intoxication!'
Sure. II her breath is drunk she
is drunk all over"

LOW ORDER OF HUMANITY.

Australian eushmen Make Their
Abodes In Nests.
Travellers who have returned from
the heart of Africa and the Austral-
asian continent tell wonderful stories
of nest-building people who inhabit
the wilds Of those countries. In the
bushmen Of Australia We find. per-
haps, the lowest order OF men that il
known. They are SO primitive that
they do not know enough to build
even the simplest form Of hut for
shelter. The nearest they can ap-
proach to 1t is to gather a lot Of
twigs and grass and, taking them
into a thicket or jungle. build a nest
for a home. The nest is usually built
large enough for the family. and II
the latter be very numerous then
the nests are of very large size.
Sometimes the foliage above will form
q natural covering. but there is never
any attempt at constructing a pro-
lection from the rain and storms.

In the average man than in the average
woman. She knows that the man will re-
spect her condolences. and keep them to
himself. He is strong has more experience
of the world and can help the woman who
needs advice. There is every reason why
women should not trust their delicate
constitutions in the hands of unskilled
persons. 1t requires a thorough medical
education to appreciate and understand
the womanly organism. When a woman
has ills and pains that she cannot bear
when life seems dark for every woman,
she should confde her troubles to a
physician of standing in the community,
tainly it would not be the part of wisdom
to confide in an ignorant person without
medical education simply because she was
