Train Wrecks in ItaIv.

There have been no fewer than IS
attempts at train wrecking in various
parts of Italy, recently, particularly
in the southern provinces, by means
of false signals and by placing explo-
sives on the tracks. These are the
first results of campaign of obstruc-
ton and sabotage which has begun on
the state railroads because of the gov
ernments delay in satisfying the de-
mands of the railroad men for higher
wages.
Ninety thousand of the lower grade
employees out of total of 146,0O0
railroad men are getting from 81 to 62
cents day. Most of these are mar
ried men who have large families, and
many Of them have worked on the
state lines from fifteen to thirty years.
Prime Minister Luzzatti declares
that the government refuses to be
coerced, and is resolved to punish
severely the authors of such outrages.
The railroad mems federation threat.
ems that unless the questions in dis.
pute are Immediately debated in Par.
lament and settled to the satisfaction
of the staff, a general strike will be
declared on all the Italian railroads Oh
the eve of the great international ex
positions in Rome and Turin.

Curbinq the Whistle,

The laws of Massachusetts give the
railroad commissioners power to sus-
pend whistling upon approaching a
grade crossing, and numerous petit
tions are annually brought by those
who are disturbed by these alarms,
when given at night, to have them sus-
pended. Favorable action is usually
the result if the crossing is properly
guarded. 1t is petitions of this char
acter that permits train running be-
tween Boston and Braintree to go the
entire distance without zip from the
locomotive whistle, although a num-
Der of level crossings intervene.
Locomotive whistles are divided
into three classes, viz: The shrill,
deep and chime. The latter was. at
one time, generally used on the New
Haven road, and it's adoption is said
to have been due to whim of one of
the company's officials.
1t will be noticed that the whistle
is located upon the dome of the loco
motive, the end nearest to the cab.
This is due to the fact that the steam
pressure is greatest at this point, and
means that the whistle, when blown,
will reach maximum of intensity.

WAS TAKING NO CHANCES
Chauffeur Had Had Enough Accidents
With People Wearing False
Teeth.

Pretty That's x, who has delighted
the audiences of New Yorks vaude-
vile houses, was called suddenly to
Vermont to visit her sick mother. At
town few miles from her parent S
home she hired an automobile and
asked the chauffeur to drive her with
as much speed as possible to her
destination.
. The roads were very bad, and the
car, making good speed up hill and
down dale, over rocks and ruts.

occupants.
After little Of this jolting the
chauffeur turned to his fare and de-
manded:
81 say, ma'am. Do you wear false
teeth?"
What impudence!" exclaimed
That's x
"Oh, ma'am, it is not from impu-
dence," returned the chauffeur, that
I asked you the question. 1t is be-
cause the road is bad, the rocks are
hard, and if you wear false teeth, you
would do well to remove them until
we strike the pike. I've had enough
accidents of that description.

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
ii this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because it possesses extraor-
dinary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in a glass
OF water, used as a gargle, will quick
1y relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, 25 and SOC a box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.

APPRENTICE BOY OF TODAY
Principal Feature of New System Is
Individual Attention of Shop
Instructors.

Twenty years ago an apprentice
boy entered a railway shop down
east He was indentured and began
his service with happy anticipation
of the pleasure of learning the trade
of machinist as many have done more
recently.
He worked six months "snagging"
castings, gave up hope and quit. No
one in the shop paid the slightest at
tention to him. No one thought of
teaching him anything. He could not
induce the foreman to put him on any
other work and he became discour-
aged. That kind of apprenticeship is
of course a failure
Do you realize that the new appren-
ticeship contains two elements which
the old never had? The first of these
is the individual attention of shop in
structors who are competent mechan-
les and who have nothing else to do.
The second is mental development in
school coincident with the shop devel-
opment. Do you realize the advantage
which you as instructors enjoy over
the teachers in public schools and
even over college professors? Your
pupils have not only selected their
callings, but they are actually follow
ing them and they are holding their
own and making their way among
men earning their own living.

Encourage the BOYS.

When boy presents an idea that
is feasible, pat him on the back and
encourage him, and he will develop a
love for agriculture and become the
pride of your heart in your declining
years and will love the homes and
the farms that you have worked so
hard to pay for
If farming has not paid in your case
by all means give the boy a chance
to begin without your handicap.
What was good enough for me is
good enough for the boy is a maxim
unworthy of a New England farmer.
Give the boy chance at an agricul-
tural education and he will help you
to stop the leaks and turn the past
and present into brighter future.

Aerial Torpedoes.

Lieutenant-Colonel Muge, of the
Swedish army, is credited with the in.
vention Of aerial torpedoes. These
torpedoes are very light, and it is said
that they will travel for a distance OF
about three miles. They can be made
to explode either by contact or by
means of clockwork. They are launch
ed by means of special apparatus
with an explosive weighing rather over
two and one-half pounds When
launched the torpedo travels at the
rate of fifty meters the second; but
the celebrity Is soon increased to three
hundred motors, the meter being thir.
ty-one inches. Experiments are short.
ly to be made with this engine of de-
struction at Krupps works, where
there are the apparatus and one hun.
dred torpedoes.

at Clarksville. The draw was open to
permit the passage of a steamboat,
but the engineer of passenger train
failed to stop his train, and the loco
motive and two cars plunged through
the open draw into the river, which
was food high, with a swift current,
and full of floating drift. The engi-
neer was killed. Two mail clerks, J..
G. Martin and Thomas A. Frazer, and
the baggageman, Robert L. Morris,
were In the cars which went over.
Although they were badly injured
they managed to climb out of the cars
and to obtain places of temporary
safety on the roofs. 1t was night, and
dark. The cars fioated down stream
with the current.
Arms, who lived on the banks of
the river a short distance below, was
Ill in his bed with malarial fever. He
heard the noise of the accident. and
his little daughter came running to
his room with the news of it. He i'm

some of the bystanders to go with
him to the assistance of the persons
on the drifting cars, but nobody would
accompany him on the dangerous
mission. They told him it was mad
ness for him to go out alone, that if
the current did not swamp him per-
sons leaping from the cars into his
frail boat would. But in spite of his
Ill condition Arms went out, and
alone. He passed the baggage car,
with Morris on top. But as the mail
car was drifting further down stream
toward dangerous eddy, he put out
after that one first, finally came up
with 1t and took off Martin and Fra
zer. Returning he picked up Morris
also and landed all three safely on
shore. The president shortly after
ward had the honor of sending Arms,
although he was not a railroad man,
one of these hero medals which are
the red badges of courage in the
whole railroad world in America.

Train a Mile Iona.

A freight train more than mile in
length left Fresno, the other night
and arrived safely in Bakersfield. The
train was composed of 1875 refrigera-
tor cars that had accumulated in the
local yards. AS there was a big de-
mand for them farther south the op-
Grating department of the road de-
clded to make them up into one train
and haul them with one engine. The
feat was successful. The engine, 1875
cars and the caboose made a train
5,465 feet in length.

CARRIES OFFICE IN HAND
Portable Affair Used by Railroad Con-
ductors Model of Neatness and
Compactness.

A man who actually carries his Of
flee in his hand is the railroad con-
ductor. Usually it Is box specially
made and ornamented with bright
brass trimmings and brass handles
and with the conductors name neatly
engraved on a brass plate.
When his trip is finished you will
see him leave the train carrying his
office with him. The railroad has no
rent to pay for him and yet he Is one
of the busiest of employees, with many
accounts to keep.
In this hand Office of the conduc-
tors are all the records of his trip
and it is a model of neatness and
compactness. There is place in his
Office for all the tickets collected, an
envelope for his cash fare receipts
and many blank forms which he is re-
quired to fill out with particulars of
the run.
Usually the conductor opens up his
Office in the baggage car or in an
empty seat after his train has left the
last station of the run For some
time thereafter he Is busy man.
His portable office when opened is
transformed into a little desk having
pigeonholes and writing materials, and
with it open in front of him the con-
ductor counts his tickets, sorts them
among the proper pigeonholes and
makes up his accounts. 1t is all done
generally before the train gets in, and
upon arrival at the terminal he takes
his Office with him and departs with
the rest of the passengers.
