Many are the Tricks riayetl to Get 13nm A email group of men were discussing Pat Calhoun's candidacy last night. One member of the party was connected with the claim department of a railroad, and another was a newspaper man. Some? body said that the railroads try to run everything. "The railroads are not as black as they are painted," another man Baid, This startled the railroad man. "We have to Btand more than you imagine," he remarked. "Nobody without an experience can realize the number and character of the claims for damages which are made on every railroad. The claim department 'is one of the most important and exten? sive features of a road. It needs a large corps of expert appraisers, doctors, law? yers and detectiveB. "With all the care, skill and experi? ence employed there is no doubt that thousands of dollars are paid out annu? ally on fraudulent claims. It is not, of course,'a difficult matter to appraise the value of merchandise lpst in transit, but there is hardly any rule for fixing up personal injury damages. The public in general look npon the railroad as its nat? ural prey. It is surprising that men who wouldn't wrong others in the ordinary course of life think it a smart trick to beat a railroad. I wonder they do not realize it is Bimply a big business concern with many partners which they are attacking. In the farming sections espe? cially railroads have a hard time, The farmers regard them in no other relations than that of enemies. Therefore an ap? peal to the courts, particularly in these sections, results in the discomfiture of the road nineteen times out of twenty. "We always aim to settle personal injury cases without going to law. A nnmberof decisions have fixed the value of a man's life to his heirs at $5,000, but for the Iosb of limb all sorts of sums have been awarded. Within a year a news? boy received a jury award of $20,000 for the loss of hia leg in jumping off a street car. In a great many instances small accidents occur through carelessness and utter disregard of ordinary precautions. Some roads no longer allow their train? men damages for the loss of fingers?a frequent accident to railroads' Of coarse injuries received in coupling cars they have to pay for. The money that has been spent to settle damages of that kind would go a long ways toward paying for a good automatic freight car coupler. The adoption of the vestibule system has undoubtedly saved railroads money for injuries to passengers. I once saw a young man blown off a platform and killed. He had no business to disobey instructions to keep inside the car, but the road bad to pay damages just the same." "What is, the procedure when a claim for injuries is presented V "It's no simple process We get the testimony of the trainmen ami of all the others who saw the accident - We have the claimant, examined by our surgeons, and; if necessary, put our detectives at work. Often the latter are necessary. In the case of one mnu we traced hb ca? reer through four States and found abun? dant grounds to justify our suspicions that he was a beat. Finally, however, the claim goes to the legal department for settlement. This is sometimes after it is filed. Railroads have to protect themselves. The counsel agrees ou a settlement if he can. If not, the courts decide, the amount of damages. Not often, except in case of death, are large sums paid out in a negotiated settle? ment." "Do many queer claims come before -yon?" "Lots of them. I have a man here re? cently who wanted $1,000 because engi? neers whistled in passing his house. It was half a mile from the track, but he claimed the whistling of three or four trains destroyed hia sleep. He said he bad grown to listen for the noise. He hasn'c brought suit yet. We have sev? eral cases a month of men who, while asleep at the open window of a car, have lost their hats. The road is presented with the bill. If a man manages in any ?way to get himself scratched while .aboard a train down comes the bill for damages. A determined man can usu? ally make but a case, too, for the reason that in the country district* the road stands a poor show in the courts. It's wonderful the influence a free pass Will wield on most of these damage claimants, "I remember an attempt to squeeze a road which, had horrible features. A man made use of his own baby in the attempt. He was a widower, and was carrying his child to an interior town. The infant was dying. Every woman on the car saw that. A slight accident occurred, a few windows were smashed and the passengers got a shaking up, but nobody was hurt. The man with the baby put in a claim that the child had been killed. We clearly proved that the baby had died five minutes before the accident. We had to follow two of the passengers 1,000 milea to secure our proof and give the man the benefit of the doubt. Yet that fellow brought suit. The case never came to trial, however. He weakened at the final moment. We had another little wreck on a branch line amounting to nothing really, but a passenger claimed bis spine had been in? jured. We suspected him and his medi? cal certificates, which suspicion our own surgeon partially confirmed, as he was not allowed to make any but superficial examination. The man dragged around on crutches for months. He sued, got a verdict, and we paid it. It was good judgment to do so in that particular County. A week or so after be got the cash, the crutches were gone. It was uo use for the road to attempt to make him disgorge in that County. "By the number of cattle claims filed by farmers one might think that cowb and horses had a strong suicidal ten? dency. It is never, by any chanse, the fault of tho cow that she is killed. Oh, dear, no I She is just lured on the track. I have known a verdant agriculturist to take a cow which had died a natural death, place her body in a life-like posi? tion on a sharp curve, and wait for de? velopments. Farmers' claims are pecul? iar. In most instances the damages demanded are tremendous. I remember one instance where the contrary was the case. An engine jumped a track at a crossing and killed an old farmer who was waiting there to cross. There was no question about the liability in that case. Tho farmer's wife was seen by the counsel and told the road Wanted to do the right tfjjpg, 'Now, Ipd?Ol?/ 8*1(1 oar attorney, 'of course the road wil give you a free pass for one thing.' "And I can ride on the cars?-" she asked. "Just as much as you want to." "If I want to ride every d3y, can 11" "Certainly. Tho company will pay you some money besides. About bow much do you think will be right?" She thought some time. "We ain't no mortgage on the farm. We ought to have two new heifers and. John wasn't much account. Would a hundred dol? lars be too much ?" "But that case was one in ten thou eand."?Augusta Evening Nexos. The forgetral Employee, A successful business man says there were two things which be learned when he waB eighteen which were afterward of great use to him, namely: "Never to 1ob6 anything, and never to forget any? thing." An old lawyer Bent him with an im? portant paper with certain instructions what to do with it. "But," inquired the young man, "suppose I lose it, what shall I do then ?" "You must not lose it." "I do not mean to," said the young man; "but suppose I should happen to ?" "But I say you must not happen to; I shall make no provision for each an occurrence; you must not lose it!" Thin pnt a new train of thought into the youug man's mind, and be fonnd that if be was determined to do a thing ha could do it. 3e made such a provis? ion against every contingency that he never lost anything. He found this equally true about forgetting. If a cer? tain matter of importance was to be re? membered, he pinned it down in his mind, fastened it there and made it "stay. He need to say: "When a man tells me he forgot to do something, I tell bim he might as well have said, 'I do not care enough about your business to take the tronble to think about it again.'" I- once had an intelligent young man in my employ who deemed it sufficient excuse for neglecting any important task to say, "I forgot it." I told him that would not answer. If he was sufficiently interested be would be careful to re mem *ber. It was because he did not care enough that he forgot it. I drilled him with this trnth. He worked for me three years, and during the last of the three he was utterly changed in this respect. He did not forget a thing. His forgetting be found was a lazy, careless habit of the mind, which he cared. There is Something1 Wrong* There is something wrong if the mem? bers of your family have to bear yon talk in class meeting to find out that yon are a Christian. There is something wrong if the peo? ple in your employ speak of you as an old skinflint. There is something wrong if you never go to Church except when yon feel like it. There is something wrong if you don't know to-day whether you would go to heaven or not in case of d?alh. There is something wrong if you don't pay your debts, if you are able to. There is something wrung if you are always splitting hairs with the Lord in money matters. There is something wrong if you never mention the name of Jesus outside of prayer meeting. There is something wrong if you never pray except when you have to. There is something wrong if you never go to Church in bad weather. Tht-re is something wrong if you haven't got any more religion to day than you had ten years ago. There is something wrong if yuu feel 'spiteful whenever you see another woman wearing a better hat than you do. There is something wrong if younever tell your husband you are sorry you blowed bim up for coming into the house with muddy boots on. There is something wrong if you are not a good' deal more anxious about get? ting other people to heaven than you are to get there yourself.?Ham's Horn. A Mustang Hunt; The necessities of a mustang hunt con? ducted on wholesale lines include a cor? ral, a grub wagon and team, and three hunters. Wheujall is ready, the hunt? ers arrange themselves in as many watches of eight hours each ; one drives the wagon, the second sleeps in the wagon, and the third "walks" the mus? tangs. "Walking" mustangs is simple. The theory of the hiSQt is to keep the wild ponies on the walk, night and day, without food or water, until they are ex? hausted. As far as may be'they are walked in a circle, so as to be near the corral intended as the final goal of this go-as-you-please match against nature"." The process is this: The hunters, with their wagon, drive in sight of the mus? tang, and the first man takes their trail on foot. For eight hours he walks after them keeping them constantly on the move, and as much as possible from feeding and from water. The last is not so difficult in a land where watering places are exceptional. In the beginning the foolish mustang kicks up his joyous heels and curvets about, tossing bis mane in contempt of this-solitary, slow pursuit; bat as the hoars wear on, the dusky plodder, stick? ing like a bad babit, is not to be shaken off", the fugitives becomes leas gay. They sober down to a walk, and are not bo prone to light and frivolous exercise?. At the end of eight hours the wagon drives up, and nnmber two of the hun? ters begins his eight hour walk. At its close number three assumea the pursuit, and so, changing every eight hours, the weary march keeps on. All that day and night the ponies are kept moving. All the next day and night Bees the pro* gramme repeatsd ; and the work contin? ues until, without food or water, without having closed their eyes or rested their tired lega since the hunt began, the tired and sleepy mustangs totter along almost as tame as house dogs, and fairly dead on their feet. When reduced to this condition, sapped of that gay, frisky nature that distinguished them at first, the hunters turn their drooping, drowBy heads to the corral and drive them in as unresisting as sheep.

According to statistics found in the I Methodist Year Bock for 1891, just issued by the Methodist Book concern, the total membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church numbers 2.2S3.154, being an in? crease of 49,491 over last year. There are in the denomination 14,792 ministers, in? cluding supernumerary, superannuated and ministers on trial. Scholars in the Sunday school number 2,264,852, an in? crease of 42,124 over last year. 28,864 deaths have occurred during the year. The communicants of all the Methodist denominations in the United States num? ber 4,980,240, with 32,765 ministers and 54,711 churches. ?Itis estimated that each year in New York city 3,000 women find themselves stranded; not only homeless, penniless, and without work, but unable to work. Some have been leading dissolute lives, others have lost tbeir husbands through death or desertion, and others have work? ed themselves out of all strength and ac? tivity. Many of tho three thousand are victims of drink, and ill, when they be? come old and feeble, depend upon chari? ty for their existence. Those who are really sick find their way to hospitals, the others beg on the street and sometimes manage to do a little scrubbing or wash? ing.

While workmen were engaged in felling a huge old hickory tree on tne property of Mrs. J. H. Ogden, In Spruigneld, Pa., they came ujjon a lock of hair deeply imbedded in its trunk. An auger hole had been bored into the heart of .the gigantic hickory and the curly lock placed therein. The hole had then been plugged up. This strange find is considered a refio of su? perstition. Old residents take it to be the last remnant of one of "Black Jake's" spells, who employed this cu? rious remedy to cure fits. The old ne? gro lived inDarby about seventy years ago, and his numerous queer wnlms have been often told. A series of poems by Halliday Jackson some years ago pictured his mysterious healings. ?Washington Star. His Residence. Sentiment and poetry are <good in their place, but the best of things are sometimes misapplied. Good rhetoric may be very poor history. ''Where did George Washington live, after ho retired from public life?" asked the teacher. No one seemed to know. "Was it at Washington or Mount Vernonf" suggested she. Still there was no reply. "Come children," she insisted, "Some of you must know." "I know, teacher I" piped up the smallest scholar. "Ho lived in the hearts of his countrymen."?Harper's Young People. TIio largest S?cking Stone. Buenos Ayres seems to have the largest "rocking stone" yet discovered. It is situated on the slope of the moun? tain of Tandil, in the southern part of the province, and measures 90 feet long by 18 feet broad and 24 feet high. Its bulk is 5,000 cubic feet,, ana it weighs at least 25 tons: Nevertheless, it is so touchily poised that a single person can set it rocking. When tue wind blows from the southeast the stone, which is pyramidal in form, sways to and fro on its^ foundation like the branches of a tree.?New York Telegram. Discoveries on Mercury." Some very interesting discoveries have lately been made on the planet mercury by Schiaparelli, the great Italian astronomer. Such remarkably acute eyesight has this man that he is able to discover spots On the planet where other astronomers see only a blank surface. By watching and studying these spots during a period of several years, Schiaparelli was able to determine the time of rotation of the planet on its axis and. the angle which its equator makes with tho plane of itsjorbit. Schroeter a hundred years ago. noticed a blunting of the horns of tne planet when crescent, and from these observations Herchel computed that the planet revolved once in twenty-four hours. Schianarelli's ob? servations show this to De entirely wrong, for he observed the spots re eate?ly on the same day without see g any signs of rotation. However, from day to day he noticed a slight change m the position of the spots, and finally found that the planet re? volved on its axis in the same time that it rotated around the sun, i. e., in about eighty-eight days. It, there? fore, always turns the same surface toward the sun, iust as our moon does toward the earth.?New York Com? mercial Advertiser. How to Enjoy Winter Baths. Probably nothing is so neglected during winter time as bathing. There is a natural dislike to bathing when one gets chilled afterward. This could be. avoided, writes a doctor in The London Lancet, if bathrooms were heated all the time, not just when one wants to bathe, but continually dur? ing the day and evening. The trouble of starting a fire often deters one from taking a bath. The bathrooms should be heated very warm, not merely enough to take the "chill off the air,1 but enough to prevent the bather re? ceiving a chill after his bath, and to permit him to bathe without hurry? ing. _ Dentists in Scotland. "In Scotland," said a dentist, who is a native of the land of the heather, "there are many people who do not know who or what a dentist is. But canned, fruits are being introduced there, and so destructive are they upon the teeth that many more people will require the services of a dentist.v?De? troit Free Press.

K'jmove the cause of these-troubles by the use of Ayer's r'arsnparllla, which thoroughly cleanses the blood, invigorates the system, and restores ivsaltb and strength to mind and body alike.

It clears the blood from all bad humors, and Im? parts a wonderful feeling of strength and vitality."?Ira Leonard, Lowell, Mass. "Last spring I suffered from general debility and loss of appetite. I commenced to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and soon felt much- better. By Us continued use my strength was fully re? stored. Other members of my family have been greatly benefited by It."?Samuel Brown, South Merrlmack, N. H. "I was a great sufferer from a low condition of the blood and general debility, becoming, finally, so reduced that I was unfit for work. Nothing that I did for the complaint helped mo so much as Ayer's Sarsaparllla, a few bottles nf which restored me to health and strength. I take every opportunity to recommend this medicine in similar cases."--C. Eviek, 14 E. Main st., Chllllcothe, Ohio.
