New N.me,-oId rhInos.

The old-fashioned doctor who fought
disease with the aid Of the pharma-
copoeia is apparently having rather
hard time of It. Long ago he gave up
the center of the stage to the surgeon
with his marvellous Instruments and
daring operations. On the other side
ho is beset by the serum-therapist. the
psycho-neurologist, the hygienist. the
dietitician, the sanitarian and the as
sorted flying squadrons Of faith heal
ers. White pills and brown mixtures
in bottles have fallen into sad repute.
The physician who resorts to them
falls under the suspicion Of being
something of fogey or something Of
a quack. But, In Justice to the old
fashioned general practitioner, 1t may
be pointed out that great many Of
the new fashions In the curative art
impress one as being the old methods
under new labels. To give anesthet-
les nowadays is not enough; one must
give an anesthetic without frightening
the patient. "Anoci-association" is the
name Of the formula of ether plus psy-
chology; but ''anoci-association" ia
strangely reminiscent of the classical
bedside manner" and psycho-therapy
is not unrelated to the familiar sugar
pill.-New York Evening Post.

of this country killed 10,5S5 persons
and injured 1863, ,53S. These figures show
an increase over the year 1910-1911 OF
189 killed and 1879 injured. Out OF
the total number of casualties in the
current year 318 were passengers
1856 employees, and 6.632 other per-
sons, indicating an increase OF 80
in the total number of employees kill
ed, decrease of 3S in the total num-
ber of passengers killed, and an In
crease of 1874 in the total number OF
persons killed other than passengers
and employees. OF the persons injured,
1886 were passengers, 143.442 en-
ployes and 1910 persons other than
passengers and employees.
1t was the annual slaughter of rail-
road men. The number has been in
creasing every year, and apparently
there is no way of mitigating the dead
liness of railway operation. Safety de-
vices have failed to help much, In any
event, you cannot make 15O-
ton engine and a string of heavy cars
"fool-proof." And just here lies the
trouble.
The employees are good men-most
of them thoroughly experienced In
their workout they are inclined to
take chances" So the list of the
dead and injured lengthens yearly, be-
cause of heedlessness and hurry; they
swing on and OF of cars in motion
when there is no remotest need of 1t;
they crawl under cars without notify
ing an equally careless engineer Of
their intention, and an instant later
they are MANNED or killed. And these
are only few of the chances" taken
by these men almost hourly in the
yards, on the trains and along the
tracks of every great railway system
of the country.
Railway officials are waking up to
the uselessness and the cost Of this
slaughter and are trying to teach their
men to be more careful. Many of the
railroads send out special trains at
intervals with safety committees
aboard to look for instances of care
lessness, to point out to the workmen
how to avoid accidents. At one sta
tion they may find a hole in the
platform sufficient to throw a person
down and injure him. At another sta
ton the stock chute gates are open
wide enough to rake trainman off
the side of car and kill or cripple
him for life. They see everything.
Habitual carelessness that may re
suit in a death some day is remedied.
The road pays the bills of the trip
and the committee has the satisfac.
ton of knowing that they have prob.
ably saved a few lives
Almost every road of Importance
in the country is concerning Itself
In this attempt to curb the foolhardi
ness of its employees. Every man, boy.
veteran and apprentice In the shops
and on the road, in the roundhouseA
and on the sections, has been told
about his carelessness and what II
cost in life and property, and also
given to understand that II persisted
in his carelessness will cost him his
job.-Exchange.

Modest Railroad Man.

The most modest railroad president
In America has his office in New York
city. He is the head of a great sys-
tem-one Of the oldest in the country.
None but his close associates know
now much good he does BY stealth.
Scores of young men have been helped
by him personally, and many OF the
remarkable things that have been
done in the name of the road toward
uplifting its thousands of employees
have been of his devising. But 1t is
standing rule throughout the entire
system that the name of this presi-
dent shall not be mentioned In con-
nection with anything he does. In his
official correspondence he never uses
the personal pronoun 81" Now and
then he says "we." but even that Is
rare. This man shuns fame as coun-
try boy would poison ivy. Yet. despite
his modesty, he has won one OF the
highest places in railroad empire
rulership. Oh. yes. his name Is Un-

jail to Sober TraInmen,

The Kansas railroads are preparin,
to ask the coming legislature to en-
act law making the drinking of II
quor by trainmen punishable by ,
heavy fine and jail sentence.
All the railroads have rulings thai
their trainmen. engineers, firemen
conductors. brakemen. flagmen, Dor
ters and train dispatchers. as we'll al

on duty.
Now the railroads are going to asI
the state to help them stop the prac
tice entirely and also enable them t.
keep some of the most efficient EN-
ployes.
The roads would suspend a train
man caught drinking while on dut,
and then would also prosecute him IL
the state court and send him to jail
Then it is believed the trainmer
might reform and actually quit usin,
liquor while on duty, more to avoit
the jail sentence than to avoid dis
charge.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

HIohest Railroad.

Between the Mulato river in Chile
and Potosi in Bolivia railroad line
whose highest point is $4,000 feet
above sea level has been constructed.
This is the highest railroad in the
world. The road connecting Argentina
and Chile reaches almost the same
height. An English company proposes
to construct a road still higher to
unite Mount Popocatapetl. this volcano
being 1880 feet above sea level. This
new line will serve principally to
transport sulphur from a bed in the
mountain containing, according to the
estimate of experts. millions Of tons.

plReE OF rHs rRAlNs.

The miles Of the night
We have paved with light
To guard the flight
OF the whirring wheel:
And we ride by cay
On a warded way
In the arbor gray
or our throbbing steel
In our laundering race
We have conquered space.
And the coasts embrace
BY our binding speed:
And Time turns back
On QUE tingling track.
While the steam whips cracks
On the metal steed-
In our smoke-breath swirled
We have changed a world
And its riches whirled
To the hand OF Man.
With the might of God
In the piston rod
And the fianges shod
For a holy plan
We were fed and freed
For the goodly deed
Till the chill of greed
To the Man-mind came
Till the gold we gave
Made a cleaning pave
To the wreck piled grave
And the pyred flame.
Now it's haste, more haste,
Through the town and the waste.
And our flight is paced
By the Death-wind cold;
And it's pay. more pay.
For our masters gray
And the demons gay
When the knells are tolled-
God gave us birth
For the boon of Earth.
And we prove our worth
BY the might of Man
But, still, and still.
We carry and kill
By the miser's will
And the despot's plan.
