In the early railroad days, and that
era may be brought down to a COM
paraively recent date, roadbeds were
constructed largely along the lines OF
heast resistance. The economy of
Grps was not considered as carefully
~ the economy Of construction. Then
came the era of speed, when the saw
ting OF the hours became all import
mt New, high-speed locomotives
were invented. and fast express
schedules were arranged with few
stops, but there was still another great
nsctor In bringing about the present
1st train service. that the average
person fails to take into account. A
great deal of speed can be put into
the track ITSELF And SO came an era
Of improvement In the roadbed. and
grades were cut down and filled Up
to as near dead level as possible,
and cut-offs were built, to eliminate
bends and curves. So with "a fast
tack" and high-speed locomotives the
modern express trains and specials"
h3ve reduced the distance between
points and added to the fast train SER

FORMATION Of DRUG HAslr.
Physicians Prescriptions Are Declar-
ed Largely to Blame.

GO Largely TO 0idIue.
The Pharmaceutica. Era of New
York is against the rehlling of pre-
scriptions, and quotes a writer as say
ing that, lin the great majority Of
cases, the source of the drug habit
could be traced to prescriptions writ
ten by physicians in the regular way
and filed and ref1lled until the patient
had become addicted to its use." The
Era remarks:
"The testimony Of experts on the
drug habit corroborates this state
ment The statements about the drug
habit made by Prof. Eberie 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 the NOR.
phine habit especially is extremely
common among the well-to-do. Wom-
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 a sudden reputation for master,
.of pain and insomnia. Nothing Is
more convenient or effective Than a
dose of morphine. The relief once
found is' sought again. and after .
few trials the habit is established. 2
1T 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

When Senator Hoar yeked.

AS a wit, Senator Hoar had few M.
periors. though he believed the floor
OF the senate not the place to dis
play 1t. One OF the occasions wheL
he violated this rule was during .
speech by William v. Allen OF Ne.
braska. who made a record Of talking
for ten solid hours. Toward the end
OF long speech Tillman OF South
Carolina interrupted Senator Allen
with correction. He said that Allen
pronounced ad inflnitum as II 1t were
lad infinny-tum." Allen contended
that that was the proper way and up
pealed to Mr.. Hoar as an authority.
The latter. Of course. supported TIL.

Electric Road Easily Run.

Germany possesses a miniature but
most useful railway, to which no par
allel is found in this country. Its Pc
culiarity is that its trains have no
drivers. It is used for carrying salt
from the salt mines at Stassfurt.
The trains consist of thirty tracks.

engines are electric, Of twenty-four
horse power each. AS it approaches

five along the line. the train auto
matically rings bell and the station
attendant turns q switch to receive
it. He is able to stop it at any mo-
ment. To start 1t again he stands on
the locomotive. switches the current
and then descends again before the
engine has gained speed.

was as follows: First course, pud-

mutton, potatoes, cabbages, carrots
and Indian beans. Madeira wine, of

y CAT AND a CANARY.

Feline So Loved the Bird She Would
Not Live Without II.
The following story was sent in a
letter to the editor of Our Fourfooted
Friends:
Il want to tell you cat story (the
truth Of which know. that you may
use in your little magazine. Mrs. R.
had a cat. a dog and a canary bird. all
Of which were content. and more. in
the care and love Of a gentle heart
The cat. Kitty, was very fond Of the
bird, and would sit beneath the cage
and listen to the singing with every
evidence of pleasure and pride. Two
years ago last summer Mrs. r. was
in her rear yard with her flowers
when Kitty came running to Ter, new.
ing loudly. and then ran back toward
the house, repeating her dumb efforts
Finally, Mrs. R. said, well. Kitty. I'll
come in and see what is the trouble.
AS she passed in the door q strange
cat ran out. The cage was ON the
floor, and the bird was dead. And
now for the real heart of the story,
for the veracity of which can vouch.
The empty cage was rehung In the
window; Kitty came and stood be.
meath the cage. looking up and NEW.
ing. For two days she stood. then she
lay down; she refused food; delica.
cies that once she had enjoyed she
did not notice. On the morning Of
the fourth day after the bird had died
Kitty was found dead beneath the
empty cage She had loved the bird.
and she could not live on without; 1t

The Double Code Again.

A Binghampton woman has been
sent to Jail for smoking cigarettes in
the presence Of her young children.
This is the first conviction of the kind
under the State law which makes 1t a
misdemeanor for a mother to smoke
cigarettes in the presence of her
family. There may be some doubt of
the constitutionality of such a law,
there may be no disagreement as to
wholesomeness. If woman should
not smoke in the presence of her

Actuaries employed by insurance
