Exeter Times, 1903-4-23, Page 6177 B ON TIM RAILROAD Cr. T. R, MEAT INCAPACITATED LAST YEAR, Fifteen Hundred Gases of Sick ess Among 10,000 Men. The ;dangers which beset the life of railway employes is well illustrated by the 88th annual statement of the Grand Trunk Insurance & Provident Society, recently issued. In a mem- bership of 10,144 persons, including only 100 retired railway employes, there were 127 deaths, 88 of which were the result of accidents; no few- er than 957 cases of injury, and 2,- 847 ,847 cases of sicknees. Thus, if no allowance be etude for some unfortu- nates who suffered more than ono complaint, over one-third of the en- tire membership was on the sick list during last year, One cannot look over the statement very long with- out being struck by the amount of sickness due to . exposure. There were 013 cases of influenza, of pneu- monia 54, consumption 19, lumbago 231, rhniuznatism 231, bronchitis 276, tonsiliti n 183, pleurisy 36. Numerous other complaints were un- doubtedly brought on or aggravated by exposure, but the total of those already mentioned is 1,572, show- ing that considerably more than one- half of all the sickness was attribut- able to climatic conditions. Strange- ly trangely enoa: i; l I, only ON? ; CASE OF FROST BITE was re. t.rted. Heart trouble aliwt- ed 28 employes, conjunctivitis of the eye 31 others, while 12 were bother- ed with inflammation of the ear. There were also 28 cases of malaria, 52 of typhoid fever, 20 of appendi- citis, 66 of abscesses, 86 of boils, 1S of carbuncle, 58 of neuralgia, 37 of sciatica. Ninety-two deaths resulted from natural causes, but the effect of the life is partly evident in the causes. Twelve ijied from heart disease, 12 from pneumonia, 14 from consump- tion, 8 front apoplexy. onIt should. d b e borne in mind that the members are subjected to a medical exarnination before being employed. Of the 957 accidents, 16 resulted in amputations, 32 in burns, 9 disloca- tions, 123 fractures, 368 injuries to the upper extremities, head and face, 463 injuries to the lower extremi- ties and body. There were 117 cases of injuries to the fingers, 92 to the hands, 89 to the feet, 20 to the toes. There were fewer accidents and fewer cases of sickness than in 1901, when the former numbered 979, the latter 3,727, or a total of 4,706. Influenza accounted for 1,- 362 cases that year. TeelF1 M1)MBERST UP was made up of 1,412 conductors, brakemen and baggagemen, 1,811 en- gineers and firemen, 310 yardmen, couplers and switchmen, 2,357 me- chanics, 3,184 laborers, 680 station and•general office hands and 900 re- tired members. Among the conduc- tors, etc., there were 214 accidents, and 530 cases of sickness; among the engineers, and firemen 185 accidents and 87 cases of sickness; among the yardmen, etc., 31 accidents and 87 cases of sickness; among the me- chanics, 272 accidents and 662 cases of sickness; among station and office hands, 6 accidents and 92 cases of sickness. The members paid $48,000 in sick benefit fees and $80,000 in life in- surance Ievies. There were other sources of income, and the railway contributed as usual a large amount for sustenance. The sum paid out for accidents was $10,161; for sick ness, $26,583; for life insurance, $81,771. The total insurance car- ried is $4,696,750. The members pay in proportion to the risk in their employment, some paying 50 cents a month, and some 40 cents. Tlie engineers and firemen have the worst record, the average cost per member for sick benefits being $5.- 56. A. WARNING TO MOTHERS.. A ek tiny doctor and he will tell jetu that the "soothing" modictnes contain opiates and narcotics dance gerous to the health of infants and. children: Every mother should shun these eo-called medicines as 'she would eletu,tly poison. Baby's Own Tablets is the only medicine special- ly prepared for children sold under en absolute guarantee to contain no opiate or harmful drug. Every dose helps little ones and cannot possibly 'do harm. No other medicine has been so Warmly praised by mothers every- where. Mrs. J. 11, Standen, Wey- burn, N. W. T., says: "Baby's Own Tablets are valuable in cases of diarrhoea, constipation, hives, or when teething. I have never used a medicine that gives such good satis- faction." These Tablets will prorxfptly re- lieve and cure all minor ailments of children, and zuay be safely given to a new -born baby. Try them for your children and we know you will use no other medicine.

Factories Where Bodies Are Sub- jected to Sdientific Treatment. "Mummies 2,000 years old or more" can bo had at comparatively small cost, such articles being the (thief output of' a Paris factory. Bodies are first obtained from the hospitals, and after being scientifical- ly treated aro shipped to Egypt. Then they nate sent back with every appearance of authenticity. A sculp- tor named Elma, who is in custody, charged with fraud, is authority for the statement. As regards the charge which he is called upon to meet, Elms, said he was merely the victim of experts, to whose orders be worked. There was, he said, a regular trade in manufactured an- tiquities in Paris. lie positively asserted that it was l:e who made the famous "Tiara of Sartapharnes," which was bought by the Louvre Museum as genuine for $80,000. Fto made it, he says, in 1889, to the order of a firm of antiquity manufacturers at Mont- martre, who had received a com- mission from a noted collector. It was made with leaf gold, worth L180, and as he wondered what it was intended for, he says he put private marks upon the tiara. His counsel possessed full details. of the marks in a sealed envelope. He had heard that the tiara was first offered to the British Museum, but that it was there found to be spurious, and rejected. 4 REVIVING THE CURFEW. The people of Antrim, Trained, have hailed with delight the decision of the town commissioners to revive the ancient custom of ringing the curfew nightly. At Antrim, as at a great many other towns in Ulster, the curfew was in former generattionn rung regularly • but the practice, like that associated with the may- pole, has gradually died out until now the places where it still lingers are few and far between.. The action of the commissioners is based on purely sentimental grounds. They have simply revived as old custom because the people like to hear the bell and are willing to pay far the privilege, as is indicated by the fact that a sum. of money 'to pay all ex- penses has been handed over to the vestry of the parish church. SMOKING UNDER WATER. "It looks very strange to see a man go under water with a lighted cigar in his mouth, smoke calmly at the bottom, and come to the sur- face with the cigar burning as nice- ly as if he were smoking in his easy - chair. Apparently he defies all na- tural laws, but, of course, he does not really do so. "It is a simple trick, but it re- quires practice. Just as 1 throw myself backward to go down I flip the cigar round end for end with my tongue and upper lip, and get the lighted end in my mouth, closing my lips watertight around it. A little elm --juice gargled before going in pre- vents any accidental burning of the mouth. Going slowly down. back- ward, I lie at full length on the bot- tom of the tank, and blow smoke through the cut end of the cigar. Just as I reach the surface again another flip reverse the cigar, and there I am smoking calmly. The reversing is done so quickly that nobody notices it." It would seem that skating on wa- ter may be successfully accomplish- ed, A German inventor has made a 100 -mile journey with water shoes on the surface of the River Danube. The shoes are cylindrical in shape, and are made of altnminium to give thele extreme lightness. They are several feet long, and are propelled by a treading movement, which causes four oar-shape'd wings to re- volve. The inventor olefins that he can travel on water three times as fast as he can walk on land, and that locomotion is as safe on rough water as on smooth. Ile hopes to have the shoes made a part of every well- regulated life-saving station,' Pope Leo XIII, will celebrate no fewer than four jubilees during the present year: his "Iron Jubilee" as a priest -- he was ordained seventy years ago; his "Diamond Jubilee" as a bishop he was consecrated six- ty years ago; his"Golden Jubilee" e " as a cardinal — he he was appointed fifty Yeats ago; his "Silver Jubilee" as Pope -••- he was elected twenty - nye years case This is a ooinef- clettce hitherto unprecedented In the comes ('ri the Holy See, Accident insurance companies usu- ally have one claim yearly from ev- ery 12 of 'their insured.

No merchant can afford to use more advertising or less than just what his business, demands. A modern Atlantic liner must earn about $800,000 clear per trip bolero a Lenny of profit is made. A full tuail carried by a big At- lantic liner averages 200,000 letters and 300 seeks of newspapers. A diner's bouts weigh 20 pounds apiece. The helmet weighs 40 pounds, and he carries, besides, 80 pounds of lead in two weights. 11 all tl:e tuoney in the world were din ided equally among the people, each person would receive about $80.

Electric lamps on the bridles of carriage horses are now quite com- mon in Berlin. The current is sup- plied by a storage battery under the carriage seat. In some of the Parisian cemeteries there are open vaults connected with electrical appliances, to prevent the burial of persons who may be only in a trance. The electric eel of tropical South America is able to completely par- alyze any man who lays hands. on it. The e'ectricity is controlle'cl by the will of the fish. Aluminium shoes for horses have been tested in the Russian cavalry. Each test was made with one alumi- nium shoe and three of iron. In ev- ery test the former outlasted the latter. One of the most curious means of communication is the drum -language of a tribe in the Congo. These peo- ple can by this means converse with each other at considerable distances. A year ago Berlin refused a bequest of $125,000 for the establishment of an orphan asylum, the legacy being given on condition that the orphans should lie brought up on a vegetar- ian diet. The city of Breslau has accepted the gift on those terms. t RECENT COSTLY TRIALS. More Than $35,000 Spent on the Planchette Case. tSany People Weaken Their Sys- tem by Taking Purgative Medicines. People who use a purgative medi- cine in the spring make a serious rdistake. Most people do need a me- dicine at this season, but it is a tonic that is required to give health, vigor and vim. Purgatives irritate and weaken— a tonic medicine in- vigorates and strengthens. Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills are absolutely the best tonic medicine in the world. These pills do not gallop through the bowels — they are gently ab- sorbed into the system, filling the veins with the pure, red blood that carried health and strength to every part of the body. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure skin eruptions, indi- gestion, headaches, nervousness, neu- ralgia, backache, rheumatism, con- tinued weariness and all other blood troubles. They are just the tonic you need for this spring. Mr. A. Campeau, Alexandria, Ont,, says: "I received great benefit from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, an'd take great pleasure in recommending them to all who suffer from troubles aris- ing out of a poor condition of the blood. I think there is no better tonic medicine." If you need a medicine this spring give these pills a trial - they will not disappoint you. Do not be per- suaded to take a substitute or any of the "just as goon" medicines which some dealers, who care only for profit, offer their customers. See that the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, is on the wrapper around every box. If In doubt send direct to the Dr, Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., and the pills will be sent by mail, post paid, at 500 per box or six boxes for $2.50. M MAID sONEY.

An Italian professor is • said to have invented a remarkable instru- ment which completely solves the problem of lighting up the depths of the sea. Even with a cheap ap- paratus the inventor is said to have lit up with astonishing brilliancy the bed of :the sea at a depth of 290 feet for a 'distance of a fleecing, and it is claimed that with more efficient iustrumeuts this.. -distance, could be enormously increased. If authentic the discovery will revolutionize in- cipient theories of submarine war - faro. On the ono hand, it will help the submarine by lighting its course, but, on the other, the battleship. will be able to see the submarine much farther away than it can at present, Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot read. the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to euro deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining' of the Eus- tachian Tubo. When this tube is inflam- ed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfec't hearing, and when It is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this -tube restored to its normal condition, .hearing will be destroyed for- ever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous ser- vices. .

Thousands of people have good cause to be thankful to the memory of that eminent German authority, Dr. August Koenig, who originally discovered Hamburg Drops (more than 60 years ago), which restores the wasted energies, creates an ap- petite, overcomes exhaustion, weari- ness, languor, and that tired feeling, makes pure blood, cures constipa- tion, dyspepsia, hysteria, nervous- ness, fullness after meals, torpid liv- er, sluggish kilineys, ringing noises in the head, all skin diseases, and is a general restorative.

The case has barely occupied 20 days, and the legal expenses will exceed $35,000, Turning to great criminal prosecu- tions, the cost of which comes from the taxpayers arid not from the parties, the case of Jabez Balfour is one of the most prominent. This protracted case, which included the extradition of Jabez Balfour from Buenos Ayres, cost more than $70,- 000. Chapman, wife poisoner, has' just been convicted at a cost of $15,- 000. The prosecution of Whitaker Wright is only well started, but al- ready thousands of 'dollars have been expended, and thousands more will be spent before it leaves the hands of the legal fraternity. Justice in England is sure but costly The Jamieson raid case involved an expenditure of some $70,000, while the Parnell commitssion con- sumed $200,000. WHieN NOBODY IS BRAVE. A man may be as cool as a cucum- ber under extraordinary circum- stances -of danger or excitement. He may preserve an even mind when a ghost comes into his room at mid- night. He may assume command and act nobly and well when the ship is sinking. But let that man —let any man upset his inkstand, and he springs to his feet, makes a 'desperate grasp for the inkstand, and knocks it half way across the ta- ble, claws at his papers, and drags them through the sable puddle to save them, tears his white handker- chief from his pocket and mops up the ink with it; and, after ho has smeared the table, his bands, and his trousers with ink, as far as it could be made to go, ho discovers that early in the engagement he knocked the inkstand, right off the table, and it has been draining its life -ink away all that time in the center of the only light figure in 'the pattern of the carpet. Then he wonders why a man always makes a fool of him self when he upsets a bottle of inic. He does not know why; nobody knows why, But every time it is so. 7f you don't believe it, try it.

IIOW A STATUE CAME' TO GROW, Very warlike is the aspect of a singular ecitlestriau statuo in Bel-, glum, yet there is no cause for alarm, since it is nothing but a tree. Some ten years ago a police ceflicer retired from the force and went to live near Charleroi. Being an ama- teur horticulturist, he busied himself a good deal with trees and flowers, and one day, as he was trimming a hawthorn in his garden, it occurred to him that it would be a novel idea to train it in such a manner that it would eventually assume the figure of a cavalry officer. At once he went to work, and after ten years' labor he succeeded in 'transforming the tree into a perfect picture of a mounted soldier, The tree is known M the neighborhood as "General Hawthorn," and hardly a 'day passes that strangers do not come from a considerable distance in order to, view this wonderful example of hor- ticultural art.

TALIKS TO THE PHONOGRAPH. - (By Cyrus Hewitt, Farmer). • "Tom 'Brown's got a good-si-ed apple orchard, just like his brother Bill's. They're near each other on the same concession. Tho old man gave 'em to the boys when they got married. Guess there must be -nigh on to 200 trees in each, of 'eta. "They both had dandy crops last fall. Tom didn't get any extra help to pick his apples. He and the youngster cid it between 'em. Con- sequently it took 'em so long that xnany of the apples were blown off and bruised, "Guess Tom lost nearly a hun- dred barrels that way, "Now Bill always was a cute 'un. He wasn't goin' to take any chances, but got in a couple of ex- tra hands to give him a handl. Bill didn't lose many apples, and the. help didn't cost laim much. "Which was the wiser? "Tom's kind of economy ain't eco- nomical, as old Pat O'Malley used to say. "Same way, • many a valuable crop's been spoilt, just.because the •boys don't get enough machines to handle it.
