THE suNfLowER AND oulNlNE,
Discovery Made That Plant Yields a
Splendid Febrifuge.

An eminent Spanish professor has
made the discovery that the sunfow-
er yields splendid febrifuge that can
be used as a substitute for quinine.
More than ten years ago Moncorvo
reported to the Therapeutical society
of Paris with reference to the same
subject Accordingly the sunflower
should not only by its growing exert
great feverdispelling effect, but also
yield a product which is used advan-
tageously in all fevers
The common sunfiower is an Amer
ican plant. Its original home is
stated by eminent botanists to be
Peru and Mexico.
The Russian peasantry seem to be
convinced that the plant possesses
properties against fever, and fever pa
tients sleep upon bed made of sun
flower leaves and also cover them
selves with them. This use has re-
Gently induced Russian physician to
experiment with a coIoring matter
prepared from sunfiower leaves, and 1t
Is stated that he has had good results
with the coloring matter and with al
coholic extracts from the flower and
leaves. With 100 children from one
month to 12 years old he has, in the
majority of cases, effected as speedy
cure as otherwise with quinine.

safety In Railway Travel.


Within the past few months rail-
way accidents of unusual fatality have
drawn public attention strongly to
what has become almost a national
disgrace. When the president Of the
Southern railroad was killed, ques-
tion leaped simultaneously into many
minds: IF the head of a great system
cannot secure safety in his private
car and on his own lines, what chance
has the general public?" AS 10000
persons are killed and several times
10000 others injured on the railroads
of the United States every year, the
question Is pertinent. Comparisons
of American roads with those of Eng
land are frequent. 1t is true that
many more passengers are killed or
injured in the United States than In
England, in proportion to the whole
number carried; yet we should con-
slider, by way of explanation, not of
excuse, that in Great Britain dis
tances are short, and roads are dou-
ble-tracked, solidly-built, well-baNast-
ed and free from grade crossings.
Here the enormous length of some of
the lines makes the expense of dou-
ble-tracking them prohibitive The
same cause also necessitated here an
economy of original construction un.
known abroad. But these conditions
render all the more necessary the
adoption of every available invention
to overcome the disadvantages which
make travel unsafe, says Youths
Companion. Many such inventions
are in general use-some OF them
more extensively than in Great Bri-
tain Others we're not generally in
| troduced until the companies were
forced by law to adopt them. There
are two things which would do more
than anything else to lessen the num-
ber of railway accidents in the United
States. One is to train the independ.
ent and self-confident spirit of the
American railway employe to such a
sacred sense of the duty of obedi-
ence that he would as soon think Of
numbering his mother as of disobey.
ing an order or running by signal"
The other is the establishment of an
authoritative body empowered to in.
vestigate accidents, place responsi-
bility and command obedience. In
England railway accidents are investi.
gated by the board of trade, de-
partment of the government. The
decision is prompt, the finding i'm
partial. If any precaution for safety
has been omitted, the public knows
it, and public opinion is, in such cases
as effective as an act of parliament
| The investigation in most of the
states of the union is made by the
company itself, and the accident il
usually found to have been "unavoid

WOMEN WORKERS IN
REPUBLIC OF FRANCE

Writing from Lyon, Consul ]. G.
Covert states that the appearance of
women at the carriage stands in
Paris as drivers has given rise to
some discussion on the increased
employment of women in different
branches of industry in France since
the introduction of steam in factor
les. He says further:
It is noted that every step in the
progress Of the use of steam in in
dutry has opened new employment
for women and children. In the de-
partments of the Pas de Calais and
Aisne $4,000 persons are employed
in the tulle factories, and two-thirds
of them are women and girls. over
half the persons employed in the
weaving and throwing of silk are
women and children. The employ
ment of all these women and chill
dren has driven men out OF the busi-
ness on account of the reduction Of
wages and has materially deterior-
ated the artistic character of the
silk. It is stated that for every 100
men employed In the cotton mills OF
France there are 5S women and
girls, in the wooden mills 50 and in
the silk mills II.

We go our ways in life too much alone;
We hold ourselves too far from all our kind;
Too often are deaf to sign and moan
Too often the weak and helpless blind
Too often, where distress and want abide,

The other side is trodden smooth, and

Too oft our selfish hearts our footsteps guide,
And bndly lead the other side.

To take the smitten, and the sick and sore,
And bear them where a stream of blessing runs
