VICTIMS IN TIMES OF PEACE
Said That Railways Kill and Maim
More Men Than the Blood
iest of War*.
When the young men of the coun- ,
try are calieji forth to war, they marcn
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
if? sad at the story of lives destroyed.
Those who thus die are honored for
their heroism, and monuments are
erected to their memory, while those '
who return maimed are pensioned.
Not so. however, the army which goes j
forth daily to do duty upon our rail
roads. One in every 80 of them will '
be permanently disabled, and one In i
every nine of the injured will be killed,
says Pearson’s Magazine They pass
away, unknown and unhonored, save <
as to their families and friends. , j
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 Britlefe j ]
lost less than half as many slain and i
wounded as were killed and maimed ' i
on the iron roads in this country dur- ‘
ing last year. In any twelvemonth
about 60,000 persons are killed or to- (
jured on the railroad* of the United
States—a much greater number than
fell at the battle of Sedan, which
sealed the fate of the second empire of 1
France. Wellington won Waterloo, j
and Meade Gettysburg, with losses of .
3,185 and 23,003 respectively and the 1
total losses on both sides at Shiloh ]
in tho turn davi' mnrtlprnim flplit dLi
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 battlea of Lookout Moi^
tain, 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, Antletam and the First and |
Second Bull Run combined More
faithful toilers on the iron roads of
this country went down in suddna
death during the twelvemonth than
perished in the Battle of the Wilder
ness.
Bach year, one in every ten train- |
men in the United States (this terns . ,
including engineers, firemen, condue- ,
tors and brakemen) is injured, and one j
in every 135 is killed. Two hundred ] g
and fifty men are kilted and 2,800 are .
disabled in an average twelvemonth,
while coupling or uncoupling ears. In
Ihe same length of time 95 persons are |.
slain and 990 injured, by being |
knocked from cars by bridges and otb- I
er obstacles at the side of the track, j '
On the other hand, only one passenger ; 3
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 j,
57,000,000 miles before he loses hit
life.

FAMOUS FOR INDUSTRY. 1
Sobriety and Decency of Life a Mark
of the German Peasant of
To-Day.
The bauer (peasant farmer) hugs tbs
soil, and will waste none of it for! ‘
hedges. He cultivates his land In 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 worhi
in summer from light to dark; in I
winter as it suits him. His fruit trees
are planted along the roads and field 1
paths which run through and separate -
the tillaged acreage whereof hts vil
lage is the pivot.
He inherits the land as his fathfit
inherited it before him, and each herit
able portion Is supposed to furnish
sustenance for so many lives. He
swinks to keep clear of the money
lending shark, and here industrialism
helps. For if brothers and 3isters
throng past ability of support from 1
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 mail *
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 \
♦oil of his sound lungs and muscular;
limbs. They know a man when thap
see one. And women do much of the
actual farm work in Germany aa 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, desp
chested, wide-backed, big-hipped, rara
ly beautiful, but, however plain, pleas- i
ant-faced, healthy creatures. No shirk-;
mg of maternity with them. And j
their husbands’ comrades and sharer*
of their troubles always, yet always, \
it, would seem, making Peter's injuae- [
uou their absolute rule of conduct. j
Inappropriate Ornaments.
Oo taking their seats for the first
time on the bench at the newly erected
courthouse at Delmerhorst, Germany,
the judges were much perturbed to
ink that the architect had ornament
ed the portico with the sculptured
head of a fox on one side and that oi
a sheep on the other.
Eavesdropping?

it my dear—I listened to six declara
tions of love at the dance last pight!

must have been sitting behind some
awfully pretty girl!—Chicago Suo.
