The Gigantic PHI Industry.

Fiji
The pill-making industry is described
at length in the current Leslie's Month
ly with especial reference to the De-
troit factories, the output of which is
100000 pills a year, or so per cent.
of the entire American product.
If the annual pill harvest of De-
troit were strung on threads like pop
corn, the rope of pills would reach
twice around the earth. If this string
of pills were cut into lengths, each
of the 36,000,0O0 women and girls of
America could have a different neck
lace of pills for every day in the year,
with an extra long one for each sun
day AS a matter of fact the average
consumption of pills in the United
States is about 40 per capita year.
In these Detroit pill factories large
logs of wood from Indian forests are
ground up. In the "mass-room" there
are dozens of rollers with men at them
mixing all kinds Of colored stuffs From
here the preparation goes to- the
noodle" machines, giant mechanisms
which have capacity of 2,00O, 600
pills day. The half-finished product
is conveyed next to large copper
kettles which revolve with a pande-
monium of noise-each whirling about
with deafening clatter 10000, 900 pills
which are in process of gliding or re-
ceiving coating designed to make
them palatable.
But for most the sweetened coating
is required, and at the great pans
bare-armed men stand with ladies' in
their hands pouring quantities of color
ed syrups upon the whirlinE pills. I'm
numbered thousands of these dance
and tumble against one another and
UP the shining sides of the conner
pans, distributing the syrup so evenly
over themselves that when they are
done, no one is more heavily coated
than its companion.

Gently found by Prof. Fisher In pre-
pairing a map of the world. as it was
then known, Waldseemuller happened
across a letter from Americas Ves-
pucci to his patron. Lorenzo de Med

the newly discovered continent. Wal
seemuller marked this practically un-
known terra firma America, as he had
first heard of it through Americas
yespucci. The latter probably never
knew that the new land had been
called by his name, and it was not his
fault that Columbus did not receive
the honor due for making the discov-

A woman in society is obliged 20 keep
late hours She must attend receptions
and balls She seldom allows herself
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or en-
tertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as systemic
catarrh. This has also been called ca
tarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know the
value of Peruna at such a time, if they
could realize the invigorating, strengthen
ing effect that Peruna would have, how
much misery could be avoided.
Letters from society women all over the

OF thoroughly scared passengers
When the train stopped at the station
Mr. Garrett came forward to the en-.
CINE and thanked Robinet for his fine
run. but said that he had changed his
mind about being in hurry to reach
Parkersburg, and ordered him to pro
coed at reduced gait. The fast run
ended right there. and may be it was
a good thing it did, for if he had kept
on at such speed the train probably
would have landed at the bottom OF a
ravine.
"Afterward, while Robinet was run.
ming a fast rain on the Baltimore and
Ohio, between Baltimore and Phila-
delphia, his engine jumped from the
rails when 1t was going over the
bridge crossing the Susquehanna river
at Havre de Grace. Md. Nobody to
this day knows what caused the en-
CINE to leave the track. 1t was one
of the things for which there is no ex-
PLANTATION.
This bridge is fully $50 feet above
the surface of the water. and has no
sides at one part of it. There is. just the
under framework, with the crossties
and rails laid on top. The train was
going fairly fast at the time, and after
leaving the rails the engine bumped
along the cross ties for a hundred feet
before coming to a stop, the guard rail
being the only thing that saved the
hn1n frat int a
river A glance out of car window
at this point is enough to make per
son dizzy. so you can imagine the eff
feet this had on Robinet. The expe-
rience caused his hair to turn snow
white In single day. But even that
didn't make him lose his nerve, and to
this day he is running one of the fast
est trains over the same division. =

Politicians are puzzled by national poltl-
cal organization, which has just entered

is called 'the Railway Employees 1noe-

first batch Of literature indicates that the
league Is established to fight the democratic
party. No officers are given but 1t Is an
nounced that lock box 16 is the address OF
the league and railroad men are invited TO
send in their names for supplies.
The scheme of the league, as revealed IN
the circulars. is to array the railroad men
of the country against Judge Parker on the
theory that he is the candidate or CleVe-
Parker is presented between the pictures
of Cleveland and Olney. From great zeal
of denunciatory comment the following Is
culled:
Railroad men, remember that during the
administration Of Grover Cleveland the
struggle for existence among you took form
in deadly combat over food for your help-
less wives and children, and no skin-clad
cave-dwelling savage of the stone age mas
ever fought more desperately over the car
cass of wild goat than did you and your
fellow-workers fight for days LABOR at
fair, living wages.

will be made to divert your attention from
Cleveland as the real controlling factor IN
democratic councils However. Parker
stands for Cleveland. Cleveland stands for
Parker Jointly. they stand for Oiney, who.
