Recent Action Taken by the Grand
Duchy of Baden.

United States Consul Britain at Kiel.
Germany. has informed the Department OF
State that the government of the grand
duchy of Baden has. within the past year.
provided further for the comfort OF the en-
ployes of its railways. The government
now owns 1886 apartment houses where Of
ficials and other employees reside. The train
crews have been furnished with sleeping
accommodations when their runs require
them TO be absent from home overnight.
and small cooking stoves. of which there
are now in use go have been provided
where meals may be warmed. At Karls-
ruhe and Mannheim the government has
lunch rooms established where the en-
ployes may obtain meals consisting of
soup. meat and vegeta bles for = cents The
intention is to furnish the meals at cost.
At these two restaurants the sale of liquors
is forbidden. AT Karlsruhe a library. con-
ssting of 800 volumes. has been furnished
the employees. The restaurants at the VaTi-
Gus depots throughout Baden are rented to
private individuals. but government en-
ployes are furnished meals at reduced rates.
Some of the restaurants are sources of con-
siderable revenue.
Owing to the careful management OF the
government railways in Baden, says Consul
Britain, the number. Of accidents has been
comparatively few. In May last the sys-
tenn of punching the tickets of passengers
as they leave ahd go aboard the trains was
established at twenty-nine stations in
Baden and during the 197 days the system
has been established So 43 have been
ceived from the sale of tickets admitting
persons to the platforms where trains ar
rive. These tickets are procured by placing
a 10-pfennig piece (212 cents in an auto
matte slot machine.
Few accidents occur at depots. owing to
the fact that the public is not permitted TO
cross the tracks or walk on or beside them.
The careful guarding of all crossings by
substantial gates, which effectually stop
persons from walking across the tracks
when trains are approaching. also prevents
many accidents. The public is well aware
that trespassing means punishment says
the consul hence chances are not taken AS
they are in the United States. The roads
are generally equipped with steel cross-ues.

prints as a horrible example of the evils
attendant on the possession of great

only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indi-
gestlon are rampant among these people.
and they suffer far worse fortunes than
the millionaire unless they avail them
selves of a standard medicine like Green's

Lady IN Chelsea used to hang up the ca

By and by it few away, but promptly
returned with a worm, which it drop

found friend. 1t continued to be thus
civil day by day until the canary would
receive the worm directly from the
sparrow's bill. The lady's neighbors
observing this interesting display of
courtesy, also hung up their cages and
were gratitied to see the sparrow at
tend to their birds, too, but it always
made a point Of ministcring to the
wants of its earliest chum first.

Here's brand new swindle which
is being successfully worked on the
farmers of Southern Michigan. A well
dressed stranger stays all night with
the intended victim and during the
stay reports that he has lost valuable
diamond pin somewhere about the
place. After searching for half day
he takes leave feeling badly about his
loss, requests the family to keep a
watch out for his pin, adding he will
pay 800 for its recovery. A few days
later a bum appears on the place and
accidently shows pin exactly like the
one they have been looking for and
casually remarks that he found it just
outside the gate. After some dicker-
ing the pin is sold for $40 and some
times $50. The farmer then writes
to the address left by the stranger and
asks him to bring his hundred and gel
his pin. He never comes, for the ole
bum was in the deal and the pin hao
cost % cents.-Weiser Signal.
