ODDITIES DT RAILROAD LAWS."
From the New York Sun.
Montana requires ita railroads to
maintain a station ac plotted town
sites of 100 inhabitants or more.
Thirty States have Stats railroad
commissions, twenty of which have
power to fix rates on purely State traf

California makes the wrecking; of a
train or an engine a felony punish
able by death or life imprisonment, at
the option of the jury.
Railroads running within threo
miles of a county seat in Oklahoma
must build a line through the county
seat and establish a station.
In South Carolina it is a misde
meanor for the conductor of a trolley
car to refuse to separate negroes and
white people.
California haa made it a misde
meanor to transport cattle, sheep, or
swine in. carload lots for moi*e than
thiry-six hours without stopping for
fen hours rest.
Virginia has found it necessary to
pass a law declaring that for all legal
purposes the words ''railroad" and
"railway" are to be considered syn
' onymous.
In Massachusetts the illegal sale of
street railway transfers is made pun
ishable by a fine not exceeding $50,
or imprisonment for not more than 3d
days.
The legislature of Washington at
its latest session passed a law making
the maximum railroad fare for adults
3 cents a mile and for children 1 1-2

roads failing to pay ft claim for loss
or damage within ninety days must
pay 25 per cent on the judgment ob

The mere fact that a great many
people have been in the habit of using
a railroad trestle as a footbridge and
.that the railroad company had made
no complaint, says thc court of ap
peals of Kentuckj', does not give the
people any special rights on the
bridge or compel the railroads com
pany to exercise a special degree ol
care ?or their safety.
TALISMANS AND CHARMS.
Talismans and charms have their
tops and downs in fashion. Just now
the wearing of such "mascots," says
"The Woman's Magazine," seems to
be in the ascendant. They hang from
necks, they dangle from purses, they
even adorn one's rooms. The new
est charm in Paris, which is war
ranted to leave joyousness in its
wake, ls a pot of growing (shamrocks.
The pots are small, and there is a
great desire to get the four-leaved
shamrocks to grow in them. Such a
result, of course, is a mere question
of luck. The shamrock charm will
be much sought this season and will
be a popular favor fOT luncheons. At
least Paris is looking through green
eyes at present.

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Re*
lief.
Most diseases start in the alimen
tary canal-stomach and bdwais.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small in
testines, and if we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of Work, so that fermenta
tion, indigestion, and a long train of
alls result.
Too much fat also ls hard to di
gest and this is changed into acids,
sour stomach, belching gas, and a
bloated, heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress, but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
stoady nerves. A Wash, woman
writes:
"About five years ago I suffered
with bad stomach-dyspepsia, indi
gestion, constipation-caused, I know
now, from eating starchy and greasy
food.
"I doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told rn?
there was no cure for me. I could
not eat anything without suffering
severe pain in my back and sides, and
I became discouraged.
"A friend recommended Grape
Nuts and I began to usei it. In less
than two weeks I began to feel better
and inside of two months I was a
well woman und have been ever since.
"I Can eat anything I wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast and are very
fond of it." Name given by Postum

IHOONSCIENOIOXTSNESS IN WORK.
. Given-the man, woman or child that
conscienciousness into work. But in
whatever it may be, and success will
accompany ?heir efforts. It is the
hardest task, this learning and living
up to the fulfillment of conscientious
effort.. It is very easy to find excuse
for the cutting short, in some degree
the work or project at hand. It is
the workman who gives his employer
the premium of work on every dollar
he receives, that is going to get ahead,
and be wanted when extra and better
work comes'along.
; It is in every day life, in the homo,
in the church, in society, that the con
scientious person is wanted, for it is
'through such a person, that the best
results come, that the home is exalt
ed, the church made the strength it
should be, and society redeemed from
its frivolity and wastefulness.
It is the doing more and-better
than the allotted work, that counts.
It is not being moral and upright,
for mere individual gain, because
.good, habits give their possessors a
higher position, on a salary or money
basis, but the being good, because
goodness is a virtue that means
peace, happiness and security to the
possessor in this world, and in the
ona to come. In a commercial cen :.
it is the person who is above par :n
character and application in con
scientious effort, that is wanted in ev
ery trade and profession, in every
walk of life. The indifferent person
may appear to succeed equally as well
as the person that puts individual
conscientiousness into work, But in
the day when any crisis occurs, when
work becomes scarce, wages are cut,
or when a man or woman is wanted
to carry out some great work of the
moment, it will be found that the con
sciencious person stands above his
fellow, the indifferent and careless,
and the call will be to him or her, as
the case may be.
In the school, in the field of labor,
conscienciousness in the work at
hand, is what means both temporary
and future success. To carry to the
fullest .possible, the lessons well
learned, and thoroughly. To com
plete the work of the hour and the
day, carefully, honestly without
waste of material or time. It means
success. It means better future ef
forts. It means character strength
for the person so performing and ful
filling.
THE SUPPORT OF THB LOOAL
MERCHANT.
The approach of winter and the
holiday season, when the most import
ant and largest expenditures on the
part of every person and family
takes jplace, calls attention to a mat
ter of great consideration, for those
who are to purchase these supplies.
This matter-is where are you, the cit
izen, going to buy your goods, of
your home merchant, or are you al
ready sending out for catalogues from
outside merchants of the great north
.ern cities, and figuring on saving
twenty-five cents on every ten dol
lar purchase ?
There is no greater community of
interests in a town or city, than that
which is to be found in local co-oper
ation of the people. It is the senti
ment put into active practice of doing
everything possible for your neigh
bor's interest. It is the good word
ever ready for the city's defence. It
is the ready help to promote and ad
vance every local interest which
means" public hetterments.
It is found in giving the local mer
chant every possible order, overy pos
sible dollar in trade for goods, that
c?nHbe purchased in his store, or or
dered through his store.
The support of homo institutions ie
best seen in the local patronage given
every worthy local merchant. The- re
tail merchant, as a tax payer, is a
most important supporter of every
.thing that makes up a municipality.
He is taxed for everything, and pro
portionally bears the greatest bur
den as a local taxpayer. This being
true the local merchant deserves tho
consistent support, and every possible
dollar of patronage from his home
people.
At this season of the year, the pam
phlet by mail, and the attractive ad
in some outside periodical, is too apt
to draw attention away from the
local merchant. The person want
ing goods very often will say what
is the use of going to the local mer
chant, he can't cany such goods, and
so send an order to some outside mer
chant. But how does the home citi
zen know that the article wanted is
not to be found in town"? Has the
local newspaper been looked lover,
.to see if the local merchant adver
tises, or if not having the exact ar
ticle, cannot order the goods, and so
make a small profit?
Lot this season be a new ona for lo
cal buyers, in that they make up their
lists of needed goods, look up their
local merchant and give him the first
opportunity to fill eveiy order, before
sending a dollar to some northern
city. Let the people trysthis one sea
son,'and see what the result will be.
Give it a trial.
CONCERNING CURIOSITY.
It's a bad habit.
It gets you into no end ot trouble.
It's always bad manners to try to
pry into other persons' affairs.
Respect his silence, and don't try
to force information he does not want
to give.
The habit of ?prying into things has
wrecked many a friendship. .
Even the strongest affection revolts
at a forced entrance into the holy of
holies where the seal of silence is
set.
Trust your friends and cultivate in
difference toward the private affairs
of the rest of the world.-New Have*

HAS FIRST ISSUE OF THU SUN.
Mrs. j. George Michel Eas Kept It
Many Tears.
Mrs. George Michel, 405-Enst Bid
dle street, prizes highly a copy of the
first issue of The Baltimore Sun, May
17, 1837.
The copy originally belonged to
her sister, Mrs. Mary E. Weygand,
who died in 1876. Prior to her death
Mrs. Weygand told her sister the pa
per was kept in a small box and re
quested her to take charge of it. Mrs.
Michel was only 15 years old at the
time, but she has preserved the box.
The paper is in an excellent state of
preservation Mrs. Michel has been
a reader of The Sun ever since she
was old enough to peruse' a newspa

A CYCLONE BABY.
In Oklahoma Territory one night
last summer a cyclone swept over a
section of the country and destroyed
about forty houses. Next morning,
about thirty miles from the path of
the cyclone, a farmer going out to'
mow his meadow found a child a year
old In the grass. It was a boy aud
he had a bedquilt wrapped around
him. The storm had brought him,
but the only hurtle had received wa3
a scratch on the nose.
Notice was given to the nearest
newspapers at once and the case waa
published.I In this way hundreds of
peo; le came to know about lt. One
would think that the child's parents
would have been found soon, but as
a matter of fact no word has come
from them yet. It may be that they
were killed, or, as some think, they
wanted to abandon the boy, though he
is a sm?rt and cunning little chap and
being praised by everybody.
A dozen different families stood
ready to adopt him, but his home Is
with those who found him in tho
grass.
The name given to the lost baby ls
simply "Cy," for the first syllable of
cyclone, and if he wants to lengthen
it out when he grows up there will
be no objections. Perhaps when man
hood Is reached we shall hear of him
in the Legislature as "Mr. Cy Clone."

What Do They Cure?
The above question ls often asked con
cerning Dr. Pierce's two leading medi
cines, "Golden Medical Discovery" and
"Favorite-Prescription."
The answer is that "Golden Medical
Discovery " is a most potent alterative or
blood-purifier, and tonic or invigorator
and acts especially favorably in a cura
tive way upon all tho mucous lining sur
faces, as of the nasal passages, throat,
bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and
bladdefcscuring a large per cent, of catar
rbal calves whether-the disease affects thc
nasal pacages, the throat, larynx, bron
chia, stomacf?\(as catamyU dyspepsia),
bowels (as mu\ousjNlia>*r4u?^ bladder,

Is a powerful y?^tgontTy acting invigorat

has-caused tho break-down, "Favorite
Prescription "will bo found most effectivo
In building up the strength, regulating
the womanly functions, subduing pain
and bringing about a healthy, vigorous
condition of the whole system.
A book of particulars wraps each bottle
giving tho formulae of both medicines and
quoting what scores of eminent med
ical authors, whose works are consulted
by physicians of all the schools of practice
as guides in prescribing, say of each in
gredient entering into these medicines.
The words of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering into Doctor
Pierce's medicines by such writers should
have more weight than any amount of
non-professional testimonials, because
such mon aro writing for the guidance of
their medical brethren and know whereof
they speak. *
Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non
secret, and contain no harmful habit
forming drugs, being composed of glyceric
extracts of the roots of native, American
medicinal forest plants. They are both
sold by dealers in medicine. You can't
afford to accept as a substitute for one of
these m&iicines of known composition,
any secret nostrum.

tarrh is a blood or constitutional disease,
and in order to cure it you must take inter

internally, and acts directly on the. blood
and mucous surfaces. Hall Catarrh" Cure
is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed
by one of the beat physicians in this coun
