ACCIDENTS AND THE WEATHER

certain railroad has made an in
teresting investigation which shows
that on its system the number of &C
cidents was greater in the summer
months than in winter 1t was also
discovered that the number of engine
failures was affected in like manner.
On this railway special efforts had al
ways been made to prevent failures
during the severe winter season. and
the men were kept up to a high pitch
in their efforts to reduce them to a
minimum When the warmer weather
set in and the elements were more
favorable it was found that these ef-
forts were relaxed, with the result
that failures and accidents followed.
Special steps were made to overcome
this tendency, and it is now the prac-
tice as early as January and February
for the officials of the mechanical en-
gineer's department to put in hand a
campaign guarding against failures
when the warmer weather sets in and
the operating conditions become more
favorable. 1t is said that the results
of this action have been remarkable;
the failures and accidents now record
ed being much fewer than for the
corresponding period of previous
years before anything was done in
the matter,

American Business Hustle.

Here is an instance of the thorough

Ing large quantity of electrical ma

concerned was authorized to visit Ger

American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-

landed he received a sheaf of letters
of invitation from manufacturers, and
OF offers of hospitality. AS result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
and every courtesy was shown to him.

FORCED TO DINE ON BOOKS

With the exception of minerals. 1t
is difficult for one to find on the
earth's surface substances that do not
tempt the appetite of some sort OIL
animal. The list of queer articles OF
diet includes the earth, which is
munched with satisfaction by the clay
eater, and the walrus hide. which the
Eskimo relishes as much as John Bull
his joint of beef.
1t is not generally known, however,
that men, as well as mice and book
worms, have eaten dinners that nave
consisted only of books.

CARING FOR THE RASPBERRY
Canes That Have Borne Fruit Should
Be Pruned Away Soon as They
Have Performed Duty.
AZ M. r. GILRERTl

The raspberry is too often left alone
or prepared by rule of thumb methods
only. When this is the case it is use
less to look for good crops The canes
that have borne fruit should always
be got rid Of as soon as they have
performed this duty
Choose fine weather for this opera
ton and leave three or four young
shoots to each stool. Manure and let
them grow away until spring. Then
if they appear very crowded let the
side shoots be shortened back before
midsummer, down to about six or
eight leaves from the ground. By
doing this the light and air will have
free play and without their beneficial
agency no good results can be had.
The canes of the bushes must never
be allowed to press one another. When
this is the case good fruit is impossi-
BILE. Over-crowding is fatal to either
fruit or flowers
The great object in pruning is to
open the heart of the tree or bush so
as to admit the sunshine and air. The
thicket of young suckers should also
be removed. To form a raspberry
hedge, plant the canes a foot apart
and train on wires. Cut those that
have borne and train the young canes
so that they ara ak inches asunder.

kinds. consider very undesirable, ex-

peculiarly delicious acid favor OF

ANIMALS DON'T NEED EYES

Animals do not depend upon their
oversight in the same way as human
beings. Cats and dogs could get along
very we'll without eyes. A cat can
find her way with the aid of her
wbiskers. These are the same width
as her body and connected with
nerves which cause her to feel the
slightest touch.
Dogs can be entirely guided by
their sense of smell, Blind dogs have
been known to scent and find their
way to almost inaccessible places
Their hearing is also preternaturally
sharp,
Rats can see very little, and depend
chiefly upon their noses. muscles,
touch, and hearing. In the case OF
most animals the senses of smell and
touch are more highly developed than
that Of sight. and they do not require
10 depend upon their sight nearly as
much as do human beings in regard to
safety.
