Girl DoubIy Cured When Aching
Molar ls Pulled by German
Doctor.

Berlin.-An extraordinary case OF
somnambulism, resulting from tooth
ache, has been observed by German
doctor.
About two hours after going asleep
each evening his six-year-old daugh-
ter would get up crying for her moth
er, and talking to herself, would walk
with open eyes through one or more
dark rooms as IL seeking something.
On being spoken to in a loud voice,
she either would make no reply or
give a confused answer. After return
ing to bed she some times would
sleep quietly and at othertimes would
continue to moan. Usually she would
pass the rest of the night in untrou-
bled sleep, though occasionally she
would walk again. In the morning her
face would be very red.
Examination showed that this singu-
lar condition was caused by a sensi-
tive tooth which had been filed
When the filing was removed an
abscess was discovered. The tooth
was extracted. and since then there
has been no return Of the sleep-walk
ing.
AS the child was otherwise in per
feet health the somnambulistlc state
is supposed to have been produced by
the effect of the poisonous matter al

blood and causing brain irritation. A

WANT MEN WHO KNOW LINE
Railroads Have Good Reason for Sc
leetins Operatives From Among
"Homs People,"

A significant iob.hunting hint re-
Gently was sent out BY the operating
department OF a western railroad This
road wants a lot OF men for brakemen.
A circular letter was sent out to the
station agents along 10000 miles Of
railway asking the agents to interest
themselves In the matter
The circular contained a clause in
which II was stated that applicants
from the vicinity OF the railroad
stations would be preferred.
The big transportation concern
prefers to hire home people rather
than outsiders. The men who live
on a line OF railway are supposed to
have some advantages over a strqng-
er, as rallroader with a long ac-
quaintance with a lay OF the land
through which he runs is better quail.
fed to do good work In either posi-
ton mentioned In the circular.
Not long ago one OF tho Oldest ell
gineers Of this same line said he
could travel all the way between the
terminal Of his run and in the densest
fog locate his whereabouts by the
sound OF his drivers striking culverts
and bridges. Here was one instance
In which It Is shown how valuable II
Is for a man 10 be acquainted with
the line on which he is working.
Another point worth noticing is that
this concern prefers to enlist Its OWL
agents in the work Of getting good
men, rather than to employ any other
medium. II is said that hundreds Of
the best railroaders OF today got their
Jobs by being acquainted with the 10.
cal station agent.
No one but the men higher up and
the agents themselves know the ex
tent to which the judgment Of a local
agent is depended on in a great varl
ETY. OF emergencies. Information on
which questions Of greatest moment
have been decided in scores of in
stances have been furnished by the
men who are out on the line all the
time. Once an operating department
is sure of a worker OF this kind his
aid is largely drawn on in recruiting
material for other kinds of railroad
/ work.

Pipes and Switches Freeze.

When 1t is necessary to uncouple
the engine during very cold weather
the pipes Immediately begin to
freeze. There is no way to prevent
1t until the engine is again attached
and all the working pipes are again
warmed up.
Frogs are frozen solid and must be
thawed out in order that switches
and signals may be kept in smooth
working order. 1t requires thousand
per cent more effort to get an engine
to steam in winter than In summer.
During cold weather there is always
the risk of the air brakes sticking
and refusing to release and thus the
wheels become locked and more de-
lay and inconvenience to the passen-
gers follows. 1t is impossible to Cd
crate a passenger equipment with a
fiat wheel and trains must be DELAYED
and passengers moved to other cars
Sometimes It is not always posi-.
BILE to have these equipments at hand
and 1t Is necessary to bring a coach
or sleeper from some other station.
Much trouble is occasioned from
water tanks freezing solid and the
engine not being able to receive wa
ter. Track tanks must be kept free
from ice by means of hot water sc
that the engine may keep moving.

five whole cloves. Simmer gently for
three hours, setting on the back part
of the range. Thicker with Drowned
-four and serve, Three pounds OF beef
ribs is sufficient for e family Of six.
A little chopped ham left from din
ner, added to white sauce and used
on creamed potatoes, makes a very
appetizing dish.
Beans and Bacon.-Soak a pint Of
beans over night and cook in fresh wa.
ter until tender the next morning.
Just before serving add a seasoning
of cream, salt and pepper and serve
hot. Bacon cut in dice and fried, the
beans added and cooked five minutes,
Is also q nice way to serve them.
Potato croquettes.-Take a cup and
half of mashed potatoes and mix
with tablespoonful OF butter and the
yolk of an egg. Season with salt and
pepper and milk to moisteD. Mold
into croquettes, make a hole In each
and stuff with little green pepper
which has been fried In butter Dip
the croquette in egg and crumbs and
fry in deep fat.

spaces, dot with bits of butter ant

But the principal delay comes from
human causes rather than mechan-
ical.
1T is the labor that Is slow" said
a prominent Chicago railroad official
and I do not believe the public is
generally aware OF what the operat-
ing department OF a railway has TO
contend with during extreme cold
weather.
Sometimes It is impossible to
move train from the yards to the
depot until after It's leaving time. In
winter the men are slow 10 leave their
quarters. They are bundled up with
heavy clothing, rubber boots. and
gloves. They require more time to
get about. At all division points the
men must first remove the ice from
the couplings and safety appliances,
then inspect and test them to see
that everything is in working order.
During extreme cold weather It is
necessary to generate 100 pounds of
steam forms icy coatings, and a
warm. This extra steam impairs the
capacity of the locomotive. Escaping
steams forms icy coatings and a
train scheduled to leave Union depot
at 1915 one cold night was actually
frozen to the track by reason Of these
drippings from steam pipes. When
the engineer found that he had not
power enough In the engine to move
the train it was necessary to get a
force of men to remove the ice before
the train could get a start This op
Grafton caused a delay of five hours.
There is popular impression that
hot boxes are more of the sumner
complaint than in winter. That is not
the case. During extreme cold
weather the grease and oils in the
boxes about the journals stiffen and
recede, and thus a journal is doubly
exposed to trouble during cold wealth
er. AS the result of such mishaps
passengers are often obliged to be
transferred and the car set out.
THE general hardness of employees
during extreme cold weather causes
delays. Men do not show up for duty
and word is sent to the superintendent
that they are sick. In this way the
force Is very greatly reduced. Tn,
railroad Is therefore not only obliged
to contend with the elements, but al
30 with the lack Of men to handle its
equipment"

MonoraII Cars In Alaska.

The idea is to utilize the system for
short hauls of ten or fifteen miles
where the canyons and steep grades
forbid the construction Of regular
steam roads. A gasoline driven car
will be used on these roads. No at.
tempt will be made to run trains, as

that the merchant is compelled to take
them or lose their trade. Second, and
by far the greatest reason, is because
of ignorance on the part of the farm
or as to what and how to sell eggs.
When the hens on the farm are
producing enough eggs to warrant the
farmers taking them to town, ar
engagements should be made to handle
all Of them properly. A convenient
and clean place should be provided
wherein the hens can lay. The nat.
ural tendency of hen is to go of
In the weeds and make her nest. This
should not be tolerated and any eggs
found In such places should be marked
and kept at home.
When the clean, fresh eggs are

an excellent receptacle in which to
keep eggs previous to marketing
Before these eggs are set aside for

removed Small and dirty eggs, II

Therefore, they should be kept and
used at home. No eggs should be
washed, for the packers claim they
will not keep well. All eggs from
stolen nests, whose freshness is doubt
full and all incubator eggs should
either be thrown away, boiled for the
little chicks or used at home. They
should never be sent to market. Rot

TEACH ART OF RAILRoADING
Llneo Begin TO Appreciate the Neces
slty Of Educating Employees to do
Efficient Work.

Newspapers have mentioned two
railroads as planning, or at least ap.
proving, the idea of teaching young
men some branch of the business.
Frank Walters, general manager Of
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
west of the Missouri river, submitted
to the board of education of Omaha,
Neb., a proposition to install the
equipment for teaching telegraphy in
the high school of commerce, and the
Illinois Central has committed itself
to vocational training for high school
graduates in the shops of the system,
the boys to be paid while learning.
The Illinois Central established an
education department two years ago
and 1t is said to be a pioneer in the
work of training young men for rail.
road work. If memory serves correct.
ly, however, an eastern railroad es.
tablished a similar system even long.
er ago than two years, the purpose
being to educate young men not only
to fill minor positions satisfactorily
but to qualify them to hold admins
trative Offices when they should be
promoted.
Surely the railroads can use men
who have been drilled from the ground
up, and training apprentices prom
ises better results than the old way
of hiring raw material-though II
must be admitted that a great dea
has been accomplished on that basis
Just why the Northwestern should
wish to educate telegraphers, how
ever, is somewhat Of a puzzle, as one
road after another is installing thu
telephone for train service.

ANTEGUN LAW FAILS

xens Are Left Without Means
Of Protecting Themselves.

New York.-one year has passed
since the sullivan law" aimed to
prevent the carrying Of concealed
weapons, became law, and. as was
predicted a year ago. the law proved
m utter failure. Crooks and other
criminals continued to carry con.
cealed arms In spite Of the law, which
fell heavily only upon a number OF
law-abiding citizens who were the pos.
SCISSORS OF arms for protection and
neglected TO get rid OF them before
the law became effective.
in other words. the law merely had
the effect OF deprlving the law-abiding
citizens OF their means Of protection.
while the criminals, against whom
they tried to protect themselves. we're
left in possession Of their weapons.
According to the annual report OF
the coroner. Just issued. there were
LOG homlcides by shooting during the
last twelve months in Manhattan, only
two less than in 1910. when the high.
water mark in the number OF homi.
o@des by shooting was reached. In
eighteen Of these cases the clrcum-
stances did not call for an arrest,
while in eighty-elght cases arrests
we're clearly in order. AS a matter
OF fact, however, arrests were made
only In thlrty-seven of the cases, leav.
ing ffty-one cases in which no ar.
rests were made.
Under the Sullivan law It is illegal
for any dealer to sell a pistol or other
dangerous weapon prescribed by the

license for owning and carrying
such weapons. In spite OF this fact
