One day the Rev. Mark Guy Pearse,

a little village in which tea meeting
was going on. Mr. Pearse entered the
little chapel and joined in the tea. He

two of the leaders" managed to recog

FOLLOWING the example set by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company other
railroads have issued orders that liquors
will not be sold In their dining cars This
rule is said to be the result of the elections
which have made some counties dry along
the lines of the roads, causing the en-
ployes too much trouble to watch when
they are in ''dry" communities and when
In wet" localities. This explanation is
all right, but there is no doubt that the
ideas on the liquor question are changing
materially. There is not the same liberal
ity and carelessness that has marked the
subject In the past. Railroads will not
employ man who has the drinking habit.
although some OF that class do escape the
vigilance of their employers. This is not
confined to railroads. Men In all kinds of
business demand their employees to be free
from the drink habit. This result is In
great part due to education For years
our schools have taught the baneful re-
suits Of the use of alcohol and the pupils
who were educated on this point years
ago are the men and women who are now
showing the effects of that education.

A NUMBER Of papers are publishing a

railroads refuse or neglect to furnish
drinking water on their cars. Among the
railroads mentioned is the Pennsylvania,

as there Is water to be found on the trains
Of that corporation even IL the individual
cups are absent. There is much talk
about the wisdom of having individual
drinking cups, thereby lessening the

Why Bruises Become Black and Blu.

Why Bruises Become Black and Blue.
The color of blood is due chiefly to
iron in the little blood cells. When
the iron Is kept in these little blood
cells. which are living and travelling
around in the blood vessels. the color
is red. Hit the skin hard enough to
break some Of the little blood vessels
beneath the surface and the little red
cells escape from the injured blood
vessels. wander about for awhile in
the tissues and die. When they die
the iron TINT made them red before
then changes to black and blue color.
ing After awhile this iron is taken up
by the glands called the lymphatics
and made over again into nice red cells
The iron is taken up very much more
quickly by the lymphatics If the black
and blue spot is rubbed and massaged

Ice. Taking 3 piece In his bare hands,

the water tank and then goes to another
car. The man on top of the car may have
clean hands occasionally but In two In
stances which the writer has witnessed
the hands of the receiver were far from
clean, being black in some places,
from being sweatY and then coming into
contact with oil, dust and other things. So
far as sanitary precautions are concerned,
the public drinking cup does not seem to
be half as dirty as the hands of the fellows
who handle the ice.
