VICTIMS IN TIMES OF PEACE
Said That Railways Kill and Maim
More Men Than the Blood
iest of Wars.
When the young men of the coun
try are called forth to war, they marca
through the streets with flags flying
and bands playing inspiring music.
The people crowd the streets and greet
them with applause. When news of a
battle is received, the entire nation
is sad at the story of lives destroyed,
i Those who thus die are honored for
their heroism, and monuments art
erscted to their memory, while those
wl>o return maimed are pensioned.
Not so. however, the army which goes
forth daily to do duty upon our rail
roads. One In every 80 of them will
bo permanently disabled, and one in
every nine of the injurad TUI be killed,
says Pearson’s Magadan, They pass
away, unknown and uhoaored, sava
as to their families and friends,
A more vivid notion of the destruc
tiveness of railroads may be had by
considering the fact that In the great
Crimean conflict, which was one of the
bloodiest wars in history, the British
lost less than half as many slain and
wounded as were killed and maimed
on the Iron roads In this country dur
ing last year. In any twelvemonth
about 60,000 persons are killed or in
jured on the railroads of the United
States—a much greater number than
fell at the battle of Sedan, which
sealed the fate of the second empire of
France. Wellington won Waterloo,
and Meade Gettysburg, with losses of
3,185 and 23,003 respectively, and the
LUUU UU UULU BKJCtt til OUUUU
In the two days’ murderous fight did
not reach 24.000.
More railroad employes were killed
In the United States last year than
three times the number of union men
slain at the battles of Lookout Moijp
taln. Missionary Ridge and Orchard
Knob combined. The number of in
jured among these workers in the
transportation business was greater
than that of the wounded and missing
at Shiloh. Antietam and the First and
Second Bull Run combined, More
faithful toilers on the Iron roads of
this country went down In sudden
death during the twelvemonth than
perished In the Battle of the Wilder
ness.
Each year, one In every ten train*
men in the United States (this term
including engineers, firemen, condue
tors and brakemen) Is injured, and oas
lo every 135 is killed. Two hundw
and fifty men are killed and 2,800 ax®
disabled In an average twelvemonth,
while coupling or uncoupling cars, ft
(he same length of time 95 persons ari
slain and 990 Injured, by being
knocked from ears by bridges and oth
er obstacles at the side of the track.
On the other band, only one passenger
is killed for every 1,880,000 carried,
and one hurt for every 97,000. The
average passenger travels 2.946,272
miles before he is injured, and he goes
67,000,000 miles before he loses hia
life.
FAMOUS FOR INDUSTRY.
Sobriety and Decency of Life a Mark
of the German Peasant of
To-Day.
The bauer (peasant farmer) hugs th3
soil, and will waste none of it for
hedges. He cultivates his land iu ob
long plots, each strip carrying one
crop—corn, rye, tobacco, beet, man
gold, turnip or what not, says a let
ter in the London Spectator. He works
in summer from light to dark; in
winter as it suits him. His fruit trees
are planted along the roads and field
paths which run through and separate
the tillaged acreage whereot his vil
lage is the pivot.
He inherits the land as his father
inherited it betqre him, and each herit
able portion Is supposed to furnish
sustenance for so many lives. He
swinks to keep clear of the money
ending shark, and here industrialism
helps. For if brothers and sisters
throng past ability of support from
the land, they take work at the near
est factory, infrequently several miles
distant. That eases the ancestral lean
ness, and makes readjustment feas
ible. However the bauer may moll
week in, week out, his linen is spot
less and his clothes unsoiled on Sun
days. -His wife would scorn herself
were they otherwise. Somewhat un
couth, rough, bluff, shrewd, stanch, the
military authorities wisely take heavy
toll of his sound lungs and muscular
limbs. They know a man when they
see one. And women do much of the
actual farm work in Germany as a
consequence.
What hard-working mothers, and
wives and daughters are the women
ot Germany! What splendid women!
What does not that great nation owe
to its women! Broad-bosomed, deep
chested, wide-backed, big-hipped, rare
ly beautiful, but, however plain, pleas
ant-faced, healthy creatures. No shirk
ing of maternity with them. And
their husbands’ comrades and sharers
of their troubles always, yet always,
it would seem, making Peter’s injunc
tion their absolute rule of conduct.
Inappropriate Ornaments,
On taking their seats for the first
lime on the bench at the newly erected
courthouse at Delmerhorst, Germany,
the judges were much perturbed to
.find that the architect had ornament
ed the portico with the sculptured
head of a fox on one side and that ol
a sheep on the other.

A
NEW NORTH POLE HUNTER
‘Musher” Will Be There the Firs#
When a Gold Stampede
Is Started.
There Is a popular belief in the «*
t.reme northwest that the north pole
will be discovered by a musher. and not
by any scientific polar expedition, say*
the Sunset Magazine. This belief Is
based on the conviction that a gold
stampede will eventually be started
toward north latitude 90 degrees, and
that the mushers will rush In where
arctic explorers have feared to tread.
So completely unknown to fame Is thi*
newcomer in the race for the pole that
to the majority of people the name sug
gests nothing but cereal breakfast food.
Gilbert Parker, the novelist, wh«
finds his most congenial theme la
Frenoh-Candian life, has made his read
ers familiar with ‘'Marche-t’-en!’’ the
cry with which drivers of dog team*
urge forward their panting animals.
French-Canadian trappers were among
the earliest white men In the far north
west, aud American prospectors on the
Yukon soon learned to goad their dog*
on with the same cry, without, however,
understanding the French, which. In
their mouths, was rapidly corrupted to
“Muchon!” to this day an Alaska dog
driver's equivalent for “Gee up!”
Dog drivers generally rush with the
team and therefore from "Mush-on” has
come the noun musher, used all over
Alaska and the Yukon territory to des
ignate a traiisman. The musher Is gen
erally prospector, stampeder and traiis
man all rolled Into one, and Alaska trail*
are such uncertain quantities that he
has frequently to make his own prece
dents over newly frozen sea and track- i
less snow. The musher achieves most ‘
of his stampeding to new gold fields dur-'
ing the arctic winter, for then the rigid
sea becomes a highway and mighty
rivers need no bridging.
RAVAGES OF THE SOUVENIR
What Was Once a Harmless Fad Ha#
Become Almost a Univer
sal Mania.
The vogue of the illustrated souvenir
postal card has assumed the dimensions
of a literary peril. What was once a
harmless fad confined to more or less ec
centric visitors in out-of-the-way place*
has become all but a universal mania,
says the New York Post. The Boston
post office reports handling 25,000 of
these yellow imps in a single day. The
30-called comic valentine once tainted
the postman’s bag. Its Influence, how
ever, lasted but for a day, while the sou
venir postal card ceaseth not day nor
night to cry for a destroyer.
From the point of view of growing
popularity these postal cards but evi
dence anew the danger with which
modern mechanism is continually en
compassing the other handicraft art*.
The printed book has driven out illus
trated missal. “The quarter-sawed oak”
of Kalamazoo has displaced Chippen
dale and Sheraton. And at last the illus
trated postal, with cheap ready-made
sentiment and chromo lithograph
threatens the letter of friendship, travel
and description. The residuary field of
the epistolary art was long supposed to '■
be safe from the inroads of the printing
press. Political intelligence such as
fills Horace Walpole’s six stout vol
umes of private letters has for over a
century been disseminated in the news
papers. Scientific news has long since !
found similar media of publicity. But
ihe intimate unbosoming of friend to
friend at a distance has held at bayy all
the devices of modern machinery untir
the advent of this substitute for a real
letter.
SPEAKING WITH EMPHASIS.
Calisthenics Accompany the Word# j
of Neapolitans When Dis
cussing Weather.
“Give a Neapolitan a pair of dumb
bells and ask him if he thinks it is like
ly to rain, and before his answer is
finished he will have taken enough
healthful exercise to last him all day.”
Once, says the London Clarion, a trav
eler sat with a friend in a cafe at
Naples. Near them were two Italians
engaged in conversation. The younger
of the two seemed much excited.
With his hands he made reaching and
clinging motions, as if climbing. Then
he seemed to be groping for cherries in
the air, as he reached right and left
above his head. Next, without slacken
ing his conversation, he put the thumb
and forefinger of his left hand together,
and holding them before his eyes, went
through the careful movements of one
threading a small needle and all the
time he talked.
Suddenly his manner changed. He
made overhand motions, as if throwing
something. Then he apparently imitated
a swimmer, and immediately afterward
described several circles with his left
hand, giving the impression of a rapid
ly revolving wheel.
Finally he leaned forward, and with
his right hand acted the part of a per
son endeavoring to put a key Into a key
hole.
The traveler was overcome by curios
' lty. He turned to his friend, who un
derstood Italian, and asked him what
| the plot of the story was.
“Oh,' nothing,’’ replied the other.
! "They’re chatting about the weather."
" A Kindred Job.
“Met -Sqribblerus the other day; says
1 he Is going to give up writing poetry
j and go into the gas business."

Keep
Your Nerve
It is nerve energy that runs
the. organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; if
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with Dr. Miles’ Nervine.
It assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.
“I take pleasure in recommending
Dr. Milos’ Nervine to those suffering
from norvous prostration, insomnia
and melancholy. After several
months suffering from above diseases
T tried this medicine and found imme
diate relief. It soothes and strength
ens the nerves, chases away the
gloomy and depressing thoughts and
gives the sufferer renewed strength
and hope. It is a superb nerve re
storer "
