The Great Popular Railroad.


 It has been loosely stated that cor. porations have no souls-a premise based no doubt upon the tendency of some corporations to eliminate the per sonal element so far as possible from their management Nevertheless, the railway corporation has just as pro- nounced an individuality as the average business man.
 There are railway corporations which incur the dislike of thN general public apparently for psychological reasons. Their rolling stock may be in excellent condition and their time schedules well carried out, and yet owing to a certain atmosphere associated with the man. agement, the road will be distinctly unpopular.
 The New York Central Railroad is one of the happy exceptions With a mag nificent roadbed and a thoroughly mod ern train service, they would seem to have kept faith with their patrons in every way; but there is a disposition on the part of the management to go little further than the contract actu- ally calls for, by placing special com forts and courtesies at the disposal of their patrons, which makes this road a favorite with all who can arrange to utilize its service.-From the Monthly Cyciopedia of Practical Medicine

While assisting in operating a pat
ent hay fork Samuel Crawford of
Sherman, Pa, came in contact with
some Of the apparatus and a portion
of his scalp was torn off. Local ply
sicians rendered the unfortunate man
temporary aid and later he was taken
to private hospital in Scranton,
where the staff of surgeons decided to
graft flesh upon Crawford's skull. A
cat was killed and some of its hide
was attached to the patients head.
In a few days the surface commenced
to knit and Crawford gradually recoy-
cred and returned to his home.
He was happy until ten days ago,
when the new part of the scalp COM
menced to raise tiger-cat fur, and now
Crawford expects to be compelled to
have his head shaved once a week or
wear a wig. OF late Crawford has de-
veloped the habit of prowling about
back yards at night and scrapping
with predatory dogs on the side
streets.
Neighbors allege that he has COM
menced to haunt barns in search of
rats. Other stories are afloat, but
some of them appear improbable.
